March 31st 2002.

Elara was in the middle of eating her doughnut that was coated with colorful sprinkles in the only doughnut shop that was standing in the middle of nowhere. The thirteen year old girl was recently kicked out by the family that had just adopted her about a month ago because she accidentally used her powers on one of their children-she was one of the forty-three children who were born with super powers so, she had to jump from orphanage to orphanage, to family from family to actually live like a normal thirteen year old girl. But, no matter how hard she tried she still was a monster to every family that would adopt her.

"So, what are you doing here alone?" The woman in front of her asked. "Nothing, just came for the delicious doughnuts,"-she gave the woman a smile that she couldn't tell was fake, the woman beamed back at her. Elara looked outside the shop's windows and saw a tow truck park in the shop's parking lot, not caring at all she took the last bite of her doughnut, "can I have the raspberry jam one please?"

The woman politely nodded and headed towards the thing that contained all the doughnuts, before she could serve it on her plate, a group of men walked in the shop. Doughnut lady didn't seem to notice them but, they had those exterminator sort of masks on-shit, Elara had thought as they started to surround her. Doughnut lady hummed as she served the plate to Elara (who was getting a gun pointed at her head) "here's your-" the lady's words were cut off by the sight she saw, she covered her mouth as Elara mouthed "hide!" to her. She quickly followed the girls order and disappeared into the back storage room.

"You know we don't wanna-" The man's words were cut off by his own muted scream, Elara's fists were glowing neon purple as she stood up from her chair getting closer to the man as he fell down to his knees. Elara took his mask off, revealing his face that had bright purple veins running through his face-"k-ill y-you."

"Too bad," -her fingers glowing as she motioned them like crushing a can with one hand, the man screamed as his head exploded into pieces. Blood splattered her overalls as she could almost hear the remaining men's facial expressions through their masks, "who wants to go next?" She sounded like a complete psychopath that had just committed her first crime after breaking out of the asylum. The men dropped their guns as one of them talked to their comms "the girl. She's a monster you have to come and see this. She killed red."

When he stopped talking, everything just became more saturated. She felt like time had completely stopped, the cars outside weren't moving except for one black shiny Prius, and what came out of it was a woman who looked like Cruella De Vile from 101 Dalmatians. She stepped in the shop, walking over what seemed to be 'red's' body that was missing his head, "Hello Elara," the woman greeted. "I'm from an organization called The Commission, You can call me The handler," she added on as she sticked her arm out for Elara to shake. "Why did you send these guys to get me?" She asked.

"I didn't send them to get you, silly. They were supposed to escort you to HQ, I was originally planing to talk to you in my office not in front of Red's dismembered body." Escort me? "Well, Red was pointing a gun at me"-The handler threw a surprised look.

"Anyways, you are special Elara. You're one of the forty-three kids who were born with incredible powers, but did you ever learn how to control them? Well if you join me and work for the commission not only will you learn how to control them but, you'll feel like you belong."

Elara had a thousand thoughts skip through her head, she knew that the only way to tame the monster was to accept it. She finally made up her mind.
"Whatever sketchy shit you have in store for me, fine. I'll work for you."

"Absolutely splendid."
