Omegas. The Old Testament says that after Adam and Eve were thrown out of Eden, God tried again, and made new humans out of better materials. While Adam was made of dust, the second man was made of silver and his companion made of gold to replace bone, these beings were said to have special abilities. Greek mythology says that after Hope was let out of Pandora's box, he granted the two that saved him special powers. Egyptian mythology says that we are the children of the gods themselves. Norse Mythology says that we are the descendants of those who rejected Valhalla and returned to earth, said to have strange magic. Satanists think that we are demons freed from hell without our memories, but with our powers as a demon. Conspiracy theorists think that we are products of government and/or alien experimentation. Environmentalists say that we are the result of pollution. Scientists think that we are a new stage of evolution. Whatever you believe, it is a fact that we are different. Not speaking as a conspiracy theorist, but as a there-is-no-other-possible-way type person, I know that the government and governments for ages have kept us hidden. The Old Testament was edited, dead mythologies tampered with, satanists and conspiracy theorists ignored, and environmentalists and scientists silenced. No one knows about us save for three types of people, people in the government, people who learned too much, and us.
However we came to be, we exist, and we are getting stronger. Whenever we started, we could move small objects with our minds, see auras, run a bit faster, punch a bit harder. Now, we can move skyscrapers, some of us have to touch it, others don't. We travel through time. We invade your mind, reading it, altering it, influencing it. We are a force, not that is coming. But that is already here.
We are your friends and your family. Your classmates and your teachers. Your fathers and mothers. Your brothers and sisters. Your spouses and life partners. We are your boyfriends and girlfriends. We are everywhere. We are only a small portion of the population, but more of us are born everyday. And every single one is stronger than their parents. There is, usually, no way to tell the difference between us and you save for our powers. There is nothing that stops you from finding out about us save for three things: Me, my team, and the people at sector 42.
