It was a very dark night , the moon had been swallowed up by the clouds and was the perfect cover for the scientists escaping the building . "Hurry up Rachel we only have two minutes to get out of the blast radius" ,said Ivan."how do you expect me to leave Joseph in there, I can't bear living without him", Rachel cried as she turned back and wanted to run towards the building they were escaping .

Rachel, Moira , van Hauser and Ivan were escaping the laboratory they had been working in for the last seven years. They were blowing the building up after realising the government wished to use their project codenamed Project Curationum for making weapons instead of curing impossible diseases . Nigel , Kirk , Gavin and Joseph, Rachel's husband had stayed behind to make sure the building went up in flames .

Van Hauser , a then tall well built middle aged man grabbed Rachel and shouted "what are you doing do you think this is what's best for your son , huh! Are you thinking about John " , hearing these words of her year old son Rachel turned back and they ran as far as possible from the blast radius with less than a minute on the clock .

On the other side of the complex X, a young security agent was driving out of the complex with a truck full of infants who had been experimented on in the laboratory . On the passengers seat was a young one year old baby X had been given special orders for .
Speeding his way out of the blast radius X was a bit too late and the bomb in the building went off turning the truck over . The loud bang and the mushroom of smoke left the young baby sitting on the passengers seat crying luckily unharmed although the other babies in the back were safely kept in pods so they couldn't be harmed by the turning over .
After barely escaping with his life X went on his way to execute the orders he had been given .

At three sharp the bell at Benjamin Franklin high school rang and everyone got out of class it was the best part of the day , in fact it was the best part of the week it was Friday . John , now a tall lean figure was walking out into the hallway where he ran into Jasper , his one and only friend . John has never been a social person due to his mental traumas he hasn't been able to have a social life at all . So Jasper is practically the only friend he has .
As they were walking heading out of the school Jasper asked "so where you going after school ?", John answered "well I gotta go for my appointment " .
"Oh I forgot about that you gotta go to see your your doctor " , Jasper said , "its okay Jasper you can just say my psychologist , I don't mind " .

As they were walking through the halls a tall beautiful blonde girl passed by and John was taken by her walk and how she laughed with her friends . "snap out of it man you still have a crush on Alexander she doesn't know you exist" , Jasper said , "don't diss a brother for trying man " ,John replied.

Alexander Maximo,a half Russian blonde was one of the most beautiful girls at school was Johns longtime crush since grade one but being the antisocial guy he was they had never even once had a proper conversation apart from the occasional greeting ."One day man I will rock her world " ,John said , "yeah that day will be Armageddon" Jasper teased .

As they passed through the school grounds a large crowd seemed to be surrounding a student . Tyler Paulsen , captain of the school basketball team and local bully was picking on a freshman . John isn't one to turn a blind eye to such things despite being quite fragile himself .
"Hey Tyler pick on someone your own size " John taunted as he stepped into the inner circle were Tyler was standing . The whole crowd laughed heartily as he stepped in , "Am I being punked ? Or do you have a death wish Young ?" ,Tyler asked . Jasper trying to pull John back but he was a stubborn nut .
Tyler then started walking towards John with his fists clenched and ready to bash Johns face in . A very loud voice came out of the crowd "Tyler !! My office now" , principal Clarke said in a tone that was showed how displeased she was . John was surprised to see how the voice of this middle aged woman had tamed the beast. Tyler walked off to the principal's office . After eyeing John for a minute principle Clarke left to deal with Tyler and the crowd quickly disbanded .

"You got lucky you were toast and what's up with getting involved in people's fights aren't you afraid ?", Jasper asked , " I don't know man I just hate bullies that's all an I will anything to stop them even if I get hurt " . Jasper then said "anyways you better get going " , so John left for his appointment .

At the principal's office it was murder and mayhem for Tyler . Principle Clarke had been head of Benjamin Franklin high school for four years and had since had all students on a tight leash a minimised bullying.

"Can you tell me what you were doing to those two boys back there Tyler ", principal Clarke asked , " nothing we were just having some fun ", Tyler argued .
" That's not what I saw on my screens " ,she said
"That's what it was ", Tyler shouted
Principle Clarke wasn't one to take a lot of bullshit so she closed the discussion in a sentence " go I'll call your parents and solve this with them "

An angry Tyler stepped out of the principal's office where his friends and some teammates were waiting for him , they decided they would teach John Young a lesson he would never forget . So they waited for him on his way back home .

As he usually did after his appointments with his doctor John walked home thinking about what they had talked about . This session they talked about his dreams about riding in a car and seeing an explosion . The psychiatrist said it might be a result of watching a movie maybe and it left a scar in his mind , but John has no memory of this , they also said this was possibly the explosion that killed his real parents of whom he has never heard of . All he knows is that he was dropped at the door of Alisa and James Young when he was still an infant . He never thought of them because Alisa and James have always been so loving , mostly because Alisa is not capable of conceiving .

As he was getting lost in his thoughts he was walking up to his street he saw a group of teenagers and Tyler being one of them . Realising what was happening he affirmed himself and whispered in a low tone "be confident you got this " . As he walked by the crowed they pounced on him and ganged up on him some held him while Tyler punched him violently while the rest where shouting in loud voices cheering on the violence .

John had a condition which made him very delicate he could not withstanding loud places and be under stress simultaneously . Now as Tyler and his crew kept on shouting

John suddenly felt a surge of energy running through his body and in a loud burst a shockwave of bluish energy radiated out of him knocking out his attackers while and leaving him on the floor in a panic state.
After a few moments passed John got up while his attackers were still out cold ran straight home . Without talking to anyone he went straight to his room and started wondering what had happened he had a brief thought and said " am I going mad ".

Back on the street where Tyler and his crew were regaining consciousness . A CCTV camera on the opposite side of the road had filmed the whole thing . The video was relayed to a network monitoring station at undisclosed location and the monitor who saw this picked up the phone and called in the report " sir I think we've found another project ".
