A superhuman society with the world revolving around powers. You get bullied and talked down if you have no powers or even a weak one. A world where not everybody is fit to be a hero. Witness the story of a boy who lost his father at a young age and...
Free and Mark both charged at each other and began fighting in the very dark room.
Mark then said while getting punched in the face," What ever happened to the friends we had in our old school?! Answer me!"
Free kicked Mark in the head, knocking him over and said," They're all dead. School shootings can be deadly."
Mark then jumped back and said," You killed them?"
Free looked at the floor and said," No, but something bad happened to a dear friend of mine. Get out of my damn way Mark!"
He then shot a bolt of electricity at Mark, but he dodged using his wind to push him away.
Mark them straightened his hands again and said," I don't really wanna hurt you. I know you've suffered enough, but I have to get through you one way or another. I need to help Zack, but I need to help you too."
Free glared at Mark and said," Help me? You can't. This is me. My true self. I was only awoken when I saw all those kids die in front of me. It made me realize that this world is a cruel and horrible place."
Mark clenched his fists and said," That's why I wanna be a hero. I wanna make sure nothing like that happens under my watch. No... I won't allow it."
Free glanced at Mark and said," It's not all that simple idiot. The hero life is absolute hell. People die everyday then they feel guilty when they couldn't do anything to stop it. Or heroes die in battle and loose to a villain. Some heroes are even tortured. Do you wanna end up like that Mark?"
Mark gritted his teeth and yelled," The hell are you talking about?! I witnessed it all for myself. The fear. The terror of standing across from an infamous villain. I almost died multiple times, but here I am. Still kicking and positive after what you said to me that day. After the day I seen the villain face to face, I knew just how dangerous this world is."
Free bolted at Mark again and slammed his fist quickly into Mark's gut area, but Mark crossed his arms and blocked the punch just beraly.
Mark then pushed Free's fist with a gust of wind then lunged after him pushing his wind into himself. He did that all while Free tried to catch his balance from the gust before.
Mark then kicked Free extremely hard in the side of the head and said," Something knew I just recently came up with. I call it, High Windsweep."
Free stumbled backwards while rubbing his head. Free gritted his teeth and said," Why do you continue to fight against me Mark?"
Mark them felt a pulsing from his bloody head. The red of his blood was now leaking through the pure white bandages. His head pounded as everything got dizzy.
He then thought," I gotta finish this quick... at this rate I'll..."
Free then lunged forwards and said," I call this, Lightning Thrust."
He through a straight kick with lightning and slammed it into Mark's stomach, knocking him out instantly.
Free then took a deep breath. He sighed and said," You should never have to deal with the life like this my friend."
Mark then flipped himself onto his back and said," Ya know. You're a prick just like when we were kids."
He then pushed himself slowly off the ground and said," Cool though. You name your moves too. I thought I was the only person I knew that does that."
Free glanced around and said," Yeah yeah."
He then thought," I weakened my attack subconsciously? Why would I do such thing?"
Mark then punched Free in the face and said," Wake up ya big dumbass! What happened to the friend I once knew? You used to be kind hearted and very caring. Although you were quite quiet which made many people think Ill of you. You were my best friend because you were cool! You didn't ignore people who were bullied and you tried to be the big brother that everyone wished they could have! So... why the hell are you doing this? Please just..."
Free looked at the ground and said," I'm doing this for a friend..."
Mark wiped the tears that had fallen from his eyes and glanced at Free.
Free then looked away at the floor and said," During that school shooting... A friend of ours was hurt bad. Delia... she almost died. She was paralyzed when a bullet hit her spinal chord. They say she can be healed... but it'll cost a lot of money."
Mark began stumbling closer to Free. He stopped right in front of him and said," I... I'm sorry."
He then hugged Free and said," I get it."
Tears formed in Free's eyes as he tried to hide it.
Mark then said," Have you ever tried to become a hero...?"
Free shrugged and said," I wouldn't get the money in time. Delia deserves to live a full life."
Mark nodded and said," Ah... I see... then do what you must, but I'll continue down my own path. You do what you want too my friend."
Free nodded in silence as Mark walked away towards a door.
He reached his hand out, but stopped and thought," No. I must focus. I have to get the money no matter what."
He then remembered a memory of him, Mark, and Delia laughing and having a good time at a school playground.
He smiled softly and stared off as Mark stumbled to the door. Just as Mark was about to open the door, a knife was thrown at his back. Blood dripped from Mark's back as he stumbled onto the floor.
Free turned his head immidietly to see the other hooded figure without his hood grinning from ear to ear.

Jeffery smirked and said," What an easy kill. I thought he'd be much harder Prey considering he held his own against you Free, but I guess not."
Free turned his head with his eyes glowing yellow with hatred. He looked extremely pissed.
