I was born with a gift.
At first, I didn’t know what it was.
Then when I was eighteen, I found out, and my life changed.
I had participated in a ritual with Professor Nathaniel and Dr. Leslie Townsend.
They were part of a group of people studying the mystical arts.
The ritual went wrong, and then I started to feel strange.
At first, it was just a tingling sensation.
Then my body began to feel like it was on fire.
I began to feel on edge, and then things around me began to move faster than normal.
I started seeing things before they happened and could hear things from far away.
It was all too much for my mind to handle, so I shut down.
When I woke up, I was in a hospital room with Dr. Townsend and Professor Nathaniel there.
They explained what had happened during the ritual and how I had gotten my powers.
I had Superman’s strength, Batman’s fighting skills and wealth along with his arsenal of weapons, Flash’s speed, and the powers of Shazam but none of their weaknesses.
I was the ultimate super hero.
I had no super hero name yet, but I didn’t let that stop me.
I started using my powers right away to help people in need.
I saved lives all over the world from natural disasters to stopping villains committing crimes.
I was pacing back and forth in Dr. Townsend’s lab.
She had sensors attached to my chest that were monitoring my vitals.
The equipment was beeping steadily as she watched the readouts.
"Okay, I want you to lift the weights over there," she said, pointing to a series of weights lined up on a table.
I walked over and started lifting them one by one.
When I got to the last one, it was a titanium bar that weighed over 500 pounds.
I lifted it with ease, but then I lost my concentration and crushed it into a ball of metal.
Dr. Townsend made a note on her clipboard.
"Now, let’s move on to the speed tests."
She led me to a large treadmill that was modified to handle my speed.
I climbed on and started running.
The treadmill beeped faster and faster as I picked up speed.
Soon it was smoking and making a loud whirring noise.
Dr. Townsend called out, "That’s enough!"
I stopped running and stepped off the treadmill.
Dr. Townsend made another note on her clipboard.
"Let’s take a break," she said, looking concerned.
"I’m fine," I said, brushing her off.
"Let’s move on to the combat simulations."
She nodded and led me to the training room. The training room was filled with various weapons and equipment for combat training.
There were punching bags hanging from the ceiling, along with various types of swords and knives.
There were also several dummies set up for hand-to-hand combat training.
I walked over to the punching bags and started punching them one by one.
They were reinforced with steel plates, but they didn’t stand a chance against my strength.
I punched through each one easily, sending them flying across the room.
Dr. Townsend watched me with a mixture of awe and concern.
"Enough," she said finally, placing a hand on my shoulder.
I stopped punching and turned to face her.
"Your power is limitless, but so is the responsibility that comes with it."
I sat in Dr. Townsend’s office, my hands still tingling from the training session.
She handed me a bottle of water and sat down at her desk.
She pulled up the data from today’s tests on her tablet and looked at the numbers.
They were off the charts.
My strength readings were beyond anything they could measure.
I glanced through the observation window into the training room.
The punching bags were hanging in shreds, and the dummies were scattered all over the floor.
The reinforced steel plates that had been used to make them were crushed and twisted beyond recognition.
Dr. Townsend pointed to the footage on her tablet.
"Watch this," she said, pressing play.
The video showed me punching through the dummies one by one, sending them flying across the room.
Then it showed me lifting weights, including a massive barbell that I easily lifted with one hand.
Finally, it showed me running on the treadmill, my feet moving so fast that they were a blur. "You’re incredibly powerful," she said, looking at me with a mixture of awe and concern.
"But you have to learn to control it. You can’t just go around destroying things."
I took a long drink of water and considered her words.
She was right; I did need to learn to control my power.
But it was hard when everything seemed so fragile and breakable compared to me.
I felt like I could lift a mountain with one hand and run faster than a speeding bullet.
It was exhilarating, but also terrifying.
I leaned back in my chair and watched her as she pulled up another screen on her tablet.
She had a detailed schedule for me to follow.
There were exercises I had to do every day, including catching raw eggs without breaking them, stacking playing cards at super-speed, and using precise strength control to handle delicate objects.
I raised an eyebrow at the list.
"Are these really necessary?" i asked her.
"Of course they are," she replied, giving me a stern look.
"You need to learn how to control your strength and speed. These exercises will help you do that."
I sighed and nodded.
She was right; I did need to learn how to control my powers.
I couldn’t just go around breaking things all the time.
It would be too dangerous for everyone around me. "Okay, let’s start with the egg catching," she said, pulling out a carton of eggs from behind her desk.
I stood up and walked over to where she was standing.
She handed me an egg and told me to catch it without breaking it.
I nodded and held out my hand.
She dropped the egg and I caught it easily, but then I realized that I was holding it too tightly.
The egg started to crack and break apart in my hand.
"Oh no!" she exclaimed, rushing over to help me catch the pieces of eggshell before they fell on the floor.
"It’s okay," she said, patting me on the shoulder.
"It takes time and practice to get it right. Let’s try again."
I nodded and we repeated the exercise several times until I was able to catch the egg without breaking it.
Then we moved on to stacking playing cards at super-speed. "This one is a little trickier," Dr. Townsend said, handing me a deck of cards.
"You have to use your speed to stack them up quickly, but not so quickly that they fall over."
I nodded and took the deck of cards from her.
I started stacking them up as fast as I could, but they kept falling over before I could get them all stacked up.
Dr. Townsend watched me patiently and offered words of encouragement when I got frustrated.
After a few tries, I finally managed to stack all the cards up without any of them falling over.
Dr. Townsend smiled and patted me on the back.
"You’re doing great," she said.
"Now let’s move on to the last exercise."
After the card stacking success, Dr. Townsend went to a cabinet in her office and retrieved a small glass sculpture.
It was an intricate network of thin, twisted strands that formed a delicate spiral shape.
"This will test your fine motor control at its limits," she said, placing it carefully on the table in front of me.
I looked at it closely, noticing how the light from the fluorescent bulbs above reflected off its surface.
My hands were shaking slightly as I reached for it, remembering the crushed eggs and mangled equipment from earlier.
I positioned my fingers carefully around the base of the sculpture and slowly lifted it off its velvet cushion.
Dr. Townsend watched intently, monitoring my every move.
"Remember to breathe steadily," she reminded me.
"Don’t apply too much pressure."
I nodded and continued to lift the sculpture millimeter by millimeter.
With the sculpture hovering between my hands, I noticed every microscopic detail.
The way the light refracted through its twisted strands, casting tiny shadows on the table.
The minuscule imperfections in the glass, barely perceptible to the naked eye.
Even the dust motes that settled on its surface, glistening like tiny jewels.
My enhanced vision picked up every nuance, and I felt my heart rate slow as I concentrated on the task at hand.
Dr. Townsend’s own heart rate quickened slightly as she watched me rotate the sculpture with glacial slowness, examining it from every angle.
The velvet cushion sat exactly where I had lifted it from, its fibers still bearing the imprint of the sculpture’s base.
I calculated the precise pressure needed to lower it back onto its resting place without causing even a single strand to wobble.
And then, with a movement so deliberate it seemed almost imperceptible, I began to lower it back down.
Millimeter by millimeter, the sculpture descended until its base finally touched down on the cushion with less force than a falling feather. Only when Dr. Townsend let out a soft breath of relief did I release my grip on the sculpture.
It sat perfectly centered on its cushion, not a single strand out of place.
Dr. Townsend smiled and nodded her approval.
"Well done," she said, her voice filled with pride.
"Thank you," I replied, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Dr. Townsend leaned forward, her expression turning serious.
"Now that you've mastered this, it's time to discuss the real reason for your training."
I noticed a man entering through the glass doors that led into Dr. Townsend’s lab.
His weathered face was grave as he walked towards us, a large, ancient leather-bound book in his hands.
I set the glass sculpture down and stood up to greet him.
Dr. Townsend hurried over to us, her eyes wide with concern.
"Professor Nathaniel," she said, reaching out to take the book from him.
"Thank you for coming so quickly."
The professor nodded solemnly and handed her the book.
His eyes flickered to me briefly before returning to Dr. Townsend.
"I have a feeling we are running out of time," he said, his voice low and urgent.
Dr. Townsend led him to a steel table in the center of the room, where she carefully placed the book.
It was bound in what looked like black leather, but it was cracked and worn, with strange symbols etched into the cover.
As she opened it, I saw that its pages were filled with more of those same symbols, which seemed to shift and writhe on the page like living things. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I recognized those symbols.
They were the same ones that had appeared on my skin during the ritual that transformed me into this creature.
Dr. Townsend leaned over the book, her eyes scanning its pages intently.
After a moment, she stopped at a particular passage and pointed to it.
"Here," she said, looking up at Professor Nathaniel.
"This is the prophecy we spoke of."
The professor leaned forward, his eyes scanning the passage intently.
After a moment, he nodded gravely and straightened up.
"Yes," he said, his voice heavy with foreboding.
"This is indeed the prophecy we have been searching for."
Dr. Townsend looked at me again, her expression serious.
"Watch closely," she said, her finger tracing along the line of text.
The professor hovered anxiously beside her.
As I watched, the symbols began to shift and move, like dark ink flowing across the yellowed pages.
It was as if they were alive, rearranging themselves into new patterns and shapes.
I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I realized what was happening.
The text was changing before my very eyes.
I leaned closer, focusing on a particular cluster of symbols that seemed to pulse with a dark energy.
As I watched, they began to take on a familiar shape, one that I had seen before in the burning marks on my own skin.
I could feel my breathing growing shallow and rapid as I concentrated on the symbols, trying to decipher their meaning. The air around me seemed to thicken with anticipation as I stared at the text, willing it to reveal its secrets.
And then, suddenly, the symbols began to shimmer and transform before my eyes.
The ancient language of the prophecy slowly gave way to a more modern script, until finally I could read the words clearly:
"The time of reckoning is upon us," they read.
"The fate of humanity hangs in the balance."
I stared at the glowing text, my enhanced vision picking up every detail of the shifting symbols.
The pages of the ancient book emitted a sickly green light that crawled up the sterile lab walls, casting an eerie glow over everything.
Dr. Townsend gripped the edge of the steel table, her knuckles white with tension.
Professor Nathaniel muttered under his breath, his finger tracing over the pulsing symbols as if trying to decipher their meaning.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly, and I could feel a strange energy building in the air.
My skin prickled with goosebumps as I felt the ritual marks beneath my suit begin to burn, as if resonating with the pulsing text before us.
The symbols on the page began to writhe faster and faster, their glow intensifying until they were almost blinding.
I stumbled backward, shielding my eyes from the intense light. And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, everything stopped.
The light faded, leaving behind only a faint smoldering glow on the page.
The air seemed to still, as if holding its breath in anticipation of what would come next.
I blinked rapidly, trying to clear my vision and make sense of what I was seeing.
