Kevin looked up at John trying to figure out who he is.
“What are you?” He said and approached him.
John waves his hands and stops time from taking another second. Instantly, everything is frozen in time. Except for both of them which makes John think again, regarding Kevin.
Kevin asks him in a surprised voice, “Woah! How did you do that!?”
“I can do it because I have a unique power source embedded in my DNA.” He replied calmly.
*DeoxyriboNucleic Acid(a complex molecule that contains all of the information necessary to build and maintain an organism).
“I'm surprised to see it. Who are you?” Kevin asks him.
He looks at Kevin.
“Fine. I'll explain it to you. But know this no one should find it out. I'm warning you!” John said.
Kevin nods his head.

*John starts explaining Kevin everything
“I came from the year 2047 to stop my nemesis Max Fury, who is hellbent on destroying the world.
Long before, I got this power I had a normal life. Everything was good, I used to work for AlterLab as a security guard. One day while doing my usual routine I came in contact with an energy explosion that changed my life in such a way that sometimes I think it's a curse rather than a boon.
Me and my brother David got superpowers in that energy explosion, later came to be known as an accidental quantum energy gone wrong.
We brothers were not the only one affected by it. There were others as well. David's powers was of regeneration and healing. While, mine was to manipulate space-time and directly open the Quantum Realm.
We both decided to use our powers to help others in need and continued to do so. But, we met our match in the guise of Max Fury, the super criminal.
Max is someone who is hard to understand. He wants to become stronger than everyone. He has similar powers like us but with the only exception that he can't enter the Quantum realm. His powers are speed and lightning.
Max demanded our powers but we refused and rushed towards him in order to bind him. But with his quickness, Max instantly killed my brother with his lightning. I was shocked and with my emotions being inter twined with the powers. Instantaneously froze time and started shattering reality.
Max somewhat knew about it. He took David's powers by soaking his aura in himself. And before I can do anything, my unstable powers drained up most of my mental power and I became powerless temporarily.
Max mocked me for being lame and taunted me to be a loser who could not save his own brother. He promised me that the world that I know of will soon crumble and a new one will take it's place.
He charged his hands with lightning to kill me and be done with it. But before he can do so, I tried using my powers and instantly my surrounding started shaking with tremendous force.
Even I was finding it difficult to control. Suddenly, a power collapse occured between us and Max got thrown away. While I was summoned somewhere else and escaped to my home.
The next day when I woke up I came to know that Max is on a rampage. He killed everyone who possess superpowers in order to be strong enough to achieve his wants.
But more than that the thing that enraged me was the fact that I was framed for his murder spree. The cops and law enforcement also believed him.
My powers were also not working properly. To escape them I took the help of my friend, Wasim Rahim. He has the powers of teleportation and telepathy.
I asked his help. He promised to do so and called me to his factory. But when I came there I heard police siren and realised that he has betrayed me.
Angered and lost I was helpless and alone. I concentrated on my powers but it was misfiring. However, at the last moment my powers worked again and I was sucked into a portal that traversed me through space and time arriving at your factory. But what surprised me is that you were unaffected by my powers. Never did anything like that has ever occured.
It's a real mystery for me.” He looks up at Kevin.
“Do you have any sort of superpowers?”
“Uhhh. No!” Kevin said.
“Try to think Kevin. Was there any accident or something that might have given you sort of any powers?” John said.
Kevin thought for a moment.
“Well. I don't remember anything like that and I feel powerless.” He said.
“It's okay. We will figure it out. For now what should we do next?” John said.
“Yeah. What should we do?” Kevin asked him.
“Ahh.”
“Let me try using my powers to open up a portal. So I can go back.” John closed his eyes, trying to focus and immediately waved his hand to open up a portal.
A tremendous energy wave is released all at once and the reality starts breaking/collapsing again.
“Hey! What are you doing!?” Kevin shouted in fear.
Immediately, John opened his eyes and looked up at him in confusion. But he soon realised after watching his surrounding breaking like shattered pieces of glass. He stopped at once.
As expected, once John stopped the reality conjoined and got back to its original state.
“I guess. I need to work back at my powers to return back.” John said.
“Yes. You seriously need to take some rest and also a safe place to work on your powers. But what are you going to do till then?”
“Mhm, I'll work at some small time jobs?” He said.
“Well it's New York and to be honest it's hard to find a job so easily. But don't worry I have a suggestion why don't you work at our company. You said you were a security guard. Right?”
“Yeah.” John said.
“Perfect. We needed a security guard and you will fill that role perfectly!”
“I hope so.”
