Element Zero

Chapter 1: The Move

Hi. My name is Liam Stone I'm a 16 year old boy and let's just say I'm very  different to people. What I mean by that is I have strange powers that I can use.

The only people that know about my power is my mum and dad because everybody can trust there parents..right? However they took a while to process the information that I had powers.

1 year ago
"Mum...Dad can I tell you something it's very important"
My Mum answered back "Sure, what's on your mind?"
"This isn't easy for me to say...but you need to know..I..have...superpowers...!"
At first they both bursted out laughing "hahahaha! Come on son don't be so ridiculous.."
"I had a feeling you would react this way" I said under my breath "how's that cup of tea of yours dad? Too HOT?". Before I let him answer back I shot a stream of cold frost toward his cup. Both my parents were stunned and speechless they had no explanation for what just happened.

"Is this some sort of magic joke LIAM you know I hate them!" He said with such rage because he was confused of what just happened." Look I have these ice powers (makes it snow in the front room) it's no trick. I've been waiting a longtime to tell you but I was worried about how you would react if I told you"." So you really have superpowers..wow" my Mum answered In a more calm matter then my Dad. "I do t know what to say buddy..I don't know If I should be concerned right now or AMAZED!! My SON HAS GOT SUPERPOWERS!!!!" My dad yelled across the house. "Dad, be quiet people are going to hear you!!" I quickly explain to him."Sorry I just got caught up in the moment, but on a serious note though son you don't not show yourself out in public even if you think you can save people from a burning building that's what the firemen are for. Understand?"
"Yes..Dad.." I leave the room with sorrow. I want to save people like a superhero. I wish my dad would understand that I can handle myself out there.

That Night
"Liam! Me and your mum are going out for tea we'll be back about midnight okay"
I answer back with a roar "OKAY!"
*front door closes shut*
I sat in my room for about 30 minutes thinking about my powers and if there was anybody else like me out there? My mind bottled up with all these questions so I left the house at 7pm to clear my head.

The bright lights of Vasco surrounded me as I walked down the pavement. It's was Friday so everybody was out partying and having a night out but I was focused on people taking me away for experiments like in the movies.

Suddenly a horde of people knocked me off my train of thought and I got confused as why everyone was running towards my way. Then I realised there was two men with pistols pointed at the crowds of people who stop to look at them for 1 second. My heart started to race, what should I do run like everyone else or stay and fight them off. There were no sign of the police yet so I started run towards them. People were pushing past me but I pushed them twice as hard to get to the Men.

I stopped as soon as I saw them clearly. One man was small he was wearing a black jacket which was torn a bit the other man was a big hairy guy who wore similar clothes to his partner. I pulled my hoodie up to hide my identity " Oi grab the bags and lets get out of here now!!" The big man said
"Okay Okay stop yelling the smaller man replied in a squeaky voice. I saw my moment they were loading the bags into a van so I placed my right on the floor which allowed a stream of ice to freeze the wheels In place. The good thing is they couldn't see me because the crowds of people made it easier for me not to get spotted.
"RIGHT! Let's  get out of here!" They both ran to the van however I shot a ice shard at the open door of the van they were approaching."What the HELL?!?" The big man turned his head towards my direction. At this point my heart was roaring like a engine because I was nervous. I walked towards the men...
Without hesitation.

The small man ignore me and process to the van.However the larger man chargers at me with a bright red raging face! "Oi YOU!!!"
I shot a stream of frost to his chest...he smashed to the ground with a groan.I look around and realise that everybody was staring at me in amazement but I ignored them as the large man gained his balance he said "this isn't over ice boy!!!". The sound of sirens suddenly penetrated the silence from the people.

"Why aren't we moving!"
" I..I don't know...?!?" But they were too late a stampede of cops cars came zooming down the street where we were and the occasional camera crew.
"For Fuck Shake" said the large as he was escorted from the van to the cop car. I also realised I was now getting bombarded with people I reacted quickly and ran into an near by alleyway and avoid any light sources to hide for the crowds of people.
"Hey kid wait up!!!..kid"

Moments later I arrived back at home and there was no side of my parents. do I sat in the front room thinking what I just did which was AMAZING!!! Me celebration was stopped when I heard the lock open for the front door...
It was my parents and they didn't look very happy one bit.

"Oh, hi how was your tea?" I asked to engage some conversation between us.
"Fine, and what about yourself do anything whilst we were OUT?!?" Me dad tone raised as he entered the front room.

He grabbed the remote and turned on the news channel....It wasn't good for me.

(From the TV) "reports of a superhero has been brought to our attention. This night two men were Robbing a store when a boy who ,looked 17 18 based of his size , stopped these two men with supernatural powers. Here are some eye witnesses of the incident.
"Well it was strange like I had never seen anything like it ever. This boy shot these white streams from his hands and it became ice. Who ever this kid is he saved the store money and potential our lives from these men. So thank you.

Some people have given this boy a name "ice boy" or "frosty". The TV volume turned down. "Ice boy and Frosty!?!" I said in rage
"Take this seriously you have just exposed yourself to the whole world now!!!" My dad still furious
" we need to move away from this city and go somewhere else just in case they start look for you" my mum said angrily but less intense then my dad.

So we did. We moved to the city of Lakewood.
