CHAPTER ONE
My name is Jack. I'd like to say I'm the best Psychic, or a top-notch Lightbender, but I'm not. In fact, my powers are almost useless. I'm a laughingstock of a Psychic. My telekinesis isn't even enough to lift a golf ball. My telepathy is actually very powerful, but nobody cares about telepaths.
Right now, I'm with my friends in the cafe. Mark is making rainbows and unicorns float across the table. Mark is a strong Lightbender, but he doesn't take anything seriously. Kate is drinking a Coke.
"Kate," Mark says, "I came to give you those unicorns you asked for 5 years ago."
A spark flits across Kate's face. Literally. Kate is a Scorcher, which means she has burn marks all over from before she learned to control her powers. Scorchers go through a lot emotionally, and Kate clung to girly, cute things to keep her sanity.
"It'll be 6 in 10 hours, Mark," she says, looking at her phone. The display panel in the corner of the room turns on, as if Kate cued it. It begins blaring music from the New Year festival.
"9 hours and 55 minutes until New Year 2163," the news reporter says as he sits down. Continuing, he says, "This will also be the anniversary of the first time Mutants were scientifically recognized."
