"I said I don't have any pow-"
"Yes I heard that but what I don't understand is how?"
"I'll tell you a story. It happened when I was 13 and in my original timeline and it was 2021"
"Wait what?"
"I was part of the Ackerman family. A family with a very long line of powerful superheroes."
"Oh I have heard of them"
"Of course you have. Because of our power and fame, we were very rich and I grew up in a mansion. With this in mind, you can imagine how my power ceremony was played out"
—---------------------------------------------------------
Our story begins in a glorious, massive ball room. Streamers with the 'Samual' on them were hung up high. There was a table with chocolate and other Tea party food. The border of the room was covered with elegant tables and chairs all in white. The dance floor was covered with men and women dancing the waltz. The men and boys were wearing black and white suits like they were at a black tie event. The woman and girls were wearing long glittering dresses of many colours. At the front of the room was a machine that looked out of place in this posh environment. It had a computer that was attached to a box with a door and tubes of different liquids. It looked all wrong. At the back of the room, near the entrance, stood a little boy with bright Orange hair. The boy was wearing an orange suit with a white shirt and an orange tie. The little boy was staring at everything and everyone, fidgeting with his hands. The music suddenly stops and everyone turns towards the machine. In front of the machine stood a tall elegant woman with red hair who was wearing a red dress and an old man with grey hair wearing a grey suit.
“Samuel Ackerman, Please come to the front”
The orange haired kid flinched as he heard his mother shout his name from the front of the hall. Samuel watched as the crowds quickly sat down at the table. He slowly walked to the front as his mother, the lady in red, started talking again. “We are gathered here today for the Power ceremony of my heir and only son, Samuel. This ceremony is an accent treaty for knowledgeable families to know their powers on their 13th birthday instead of having to wait the full year to find out their powers like those filthy poor people. Now Samuel will you please step inside the box". Samuel takes a deep breath before stopping inside the box.
He waited as the tubes tied themselves to him.
He waited as the box started ticking.
He waited for the all important announcement from his father. The announcement of his power.
Suddenly everything went silent. That wasn't meant to happen. His father was meant to announce his power and when the power would show. Then everyone will cheer. Then his mother would help out of the box. Then the mother son dance would happen. It felt like ages before he heard the voice of his father. At first it was barely a whisper but then it turned to a shout.
"Everyone get out. EVERYONE OUT NOW!"
Samuel listened to all the guests rushing out of the building. He listened to the chairs falling to the flood as people quickly got up. He listened to the people saying his parents had gone mad. He listened to the doors slam open and shut. He listened to the guards leave. He listened as everything went silent again.
"AHG!"
He was yanked out of the box, hitting his head on the way out. Lord and Lady Ackerman looked angry. Lady Ackerman was literally on fire. Samuel knew something was definitely wrong with his power if his parents had reacted like this but he couldn't bring himself to ask but he didn't need to because his mum and dad started talking.
"No powers. No powers. Are you sure the machine is working, Maximus?"
"Yes I'm sure Chloe"
"No powers. How can he have no powers? Everyone in our families have powers"
"I don't know sweetheart"
"How is he going to be a hero, Dear? He has no powers. He is useless. He is going to do nothing of worth"
"Mother? Father?"
"Just get out of our sight. Samuel"
With that, Samuel ran off to his room.
—---------------------------------------------------------
"So you have no power? And your name is Samual Ackerman? As much as I love learning about your life, how does this show that you planned everything"
"I'm getting there. But I'll time skip the parts that are not needed. For the next 5 years, my parents hid me away. I was the first Ackerman and the first Sanders in centuries to not have powers. For God's sake, the Ackermans were one of the first to get powers."
"Wait Sanders as in Thomas Sanders? As in the guy who helped me fake my death"
"Yes, he is my cousin now pay attention. Anyway, you can imagine how embarrassed my parents were by me. I had no powers, I was useless. By the time I was 18, I had had enough of all their emotional abuse. I started to fight back. "
—---------------------------------------------------------
Samuel was stuck in the training room of Ackermans manor. Today was Samuel's 18th birthday (2026), so just like all the rest of his birthdays since he was 13, he was forced to train a power he didn't have and forced to try and get a power out of him. It never worked though because Samuel is powerless. And no matter how much he tried, he was never going to get a power because the gates in which you get powers were closed. Anyway, Samuel was 18 now, so his parents were pushing him even harder this year. You see, you might get your first power between your 13th birthday and your 14th, but if you are really powerful on your 18th birthday you receive more powers. Samuel knew he wasn't going to get one but he had to try.
Suddenly the room got really really warm. The doors smashed open and everything around him set on fire. Samuel knew what this meant. His mother had entered the room. He takes a deep breath before turning around to face his seething mother. Samuel didn't dare speak. He didn't want another burn scar on his arm like the last time he talked to his mother. What he did do, was ignore her. He blocked out everything she said. Every jab. Every insult. Everything. Well almost everything. There was one thing that Samuel heard clear of day that he can still hear.
"You're problem is you don't try. You need to be trying. If you tried, you would get powers. You would be useful and worth something. But you don't try. You are just a useless laz-"
That made Samuel snap.
"I do try. I have been trying since I was 13. I do everything to get myself a power. Every lesson. Every training session. Everything that's meant for someone with powers. I am as powerful as someone with powers."
"You can never be as powerful as someone with powers because you don't have powers. You will be nothing more than a useless, worthless person who shouldn't exist. You'll never be anything of worth like a hero or a villain".
"You know what? I'll save you the embarrassment of having me as a son. I'm leaving. I'm going to prove you all wrong. You will hear my name again, mother!"
With that, Samuel stormed out.
—---------------------------------------------------------
"So that's what I did. I used my training and
lessons to become a villain without letting anyone know I have no powers. By 2030, when I was 24, I became the world renowned villain known as Orange."
"Wait 2030?! How are you known about now?"
