History lessons

Long ago the first super-humans were born. No one really knows what caused this to happen, some scientists claimed that a genetic mutation may have been the cause but others beg to differ.

Everything from the generic super speed, strength, flying, lasers eyes, and shape shifting was present. But then, you have the specialty powers which with my generation, it's becoming more of a prevalent feature. Time traveling, weather modification, and psychokinesis to just name a few.

When the first batch of super-humans were born, human became perplexed at first, using these then children to fight wars and make their country the best. Others hid their children away or became runaways and tried to give their child a proper childhood.

The stronger these kids got, the harder it was to control them by mere humans. Everything was hanging on a thin line until one of the super-humans snapped and did the unthinkable.

He decimated a whole city by himself. Killed hundreds but yet he was only 16. Bullets couldn't stop him and no weapon could.

He was the first specialty power.

The first immortal superhuman.

Other super-humans were called to take him down. But, how could they? He was one of their own.

"Why are you doing this?" One of the super-humans asked him.

"Our whole lives they treated us like weapons or monsters. Have you had a decent childhood where you weren't In hiding? They have poked and prodded us but yet we still serve them. Can't you see we are better than them?!"

One thing all the super-humans picked up on was how heartbroken the boy was. They agreed with him but realize that this wasn't how to do things. It was too late as the lives he took couldn't come back.

The super-humans apprehended the boy safely but instead of giving him over to the government, they worked out a compromise.

"Give us an island. We'll build our own civilization and will never bother you again. We are not like you humans and will only cause more pain and suffering if we stay here with you guys."

The kids pitched their idea in front of all the world leaders and they unanimously agreed. Super-humans were just too dangerous to keep around and too much of a liability on everyone's part.

200 kids from all over the world, said goodbye to their families and left for a new home. People cried and others rejoiced.

The island they chose was huge, and each nationality set up their homes where they felt most comfortable.

Within months, a grocery store was built along with a hospital. Houses and communities were built according to the children's likeness.

The human world slowly forgot about these super-humans but, the super-humans never forgot about them.

Every month, thousands of food shipments would come to the island, but no human questioned it and why it always came back empty. The sailors who worked the ship that sailed was only the same family and they were paid handsomely to keep it a family business and secret.

Within two years, a school system and building was built.

The kids vowed to teach their kids a better way to control their powers. To teach them why humans and super-humans are dangerous to each other and why it's best if they forgot about us.

The history of us started over 400 years ago and now we have been completely erased from the human world and the only thing that keeps us connected is that ship that still sails from their world to ours for food.

Our only connection to those people.

My Grandfather was the one who killed all those people.

Yes, he's still here sadly.

He teaches the history class at the high school and trust me, it's not as cool as you think.

This is our history. The story of time and the story of prevalence.

Long live the supers.

Oh yea, I almost forgot...

I'm not one of them.
