Perspective is Ki (Young Justice/DBZ, Male OC)

Chapter Three

Philadelphia, 11:32 AM.
February 19th, 2010.

Aiden watched the city crawl by outside the window of the car they had sent to pick him up. The buildings were tall, modern and he couldn't help but think the skyline must be beautiful at night, he would have to find out in the next couple of nights.

Philadelphia seemingly ran along a section of the Delaware River, and according to his attempt at research was a pretty profitable place. Several of the largest companies in the world were based here, and other companies had appeared overnight after his apparent world-hopping. Lexcorp being the largest change that he was still getting used to, they were everywhere, with a hand in everything. Wayne Enterprises was likewise a pervasive part of America and apparently had a few warehouses here. There were so many others that he had almost immediately given up on cataloging the differences; he would learn them as they become relevant to his interests, and research them as needed.

The Driver in the front seat glanced back at him again, but he paid the man no mind; he was unaffiliated with anyone important simply an average driver, or so Aiden had decided, although it could have been one of the unmasked heroes for all he knew.

It had been over a month since he had arrived here, and it felt like he'd barely had a moment of peace since. The paperwork had finally been made official as of the 7th of February, and they had finally let him get out of the direct supervision of the police. Today was his first day in Philadelphia, and so far, he'd spent it stuck in a car for far too long.

He had managed, despite his temptation, to avoid using any more abnormal things that would be considered as 'superpowers' to his overseers. It hadn't stop him from playing around with the energy that he had become aware of inside of him, moving it around his body was seemingly easy enough, it almost seemed to jump to fulfill his needs. The sudden awareness of the energy inside of him had brought with it the ability to feel those around him.

At the moment, he was using it to investigate the people around him for almost a block, which made him aware of all sorts of things going on that he otherwise would have missed. People were idling in alleyways, sleeping in bushes, and one couple doing something very daring in a stairwell of one of the larger buildings.

The difference between his own energy and the amount the average person had was startling.

The Driver had a pretty average level of energy, and he assigned it an arbitrary measurement of the power of one unit for the sake of an estimate. If the Driver was a one, and he probably wasn't, then Aiden would have been somewhere just upward of a hundred, which was interesting.

Aiden had needed to talk himself down, multiple times, from attempting to recreate the ability to fly, at least until he had some privacy. Although he couldn't help but think that they would have bugged the apartment they had supposed purchased in his name. Bought, not rented, which was surprising. Clearly, Batman or one of the other rich members of the Justice League had decided to just give him one instead of renting it.

Aiden wasn't going to complain, but he also was planning on renting it out the first chance he got, and moving to somewhere cheaper so he could start bringing in some of his own money. They had essentially just given him the capital he needed to start working his way back up the ladder, but he was already thinking of how he could use his powers for another stream of income.

Once he had a handle on exactly what he was capable of, he was going to start another business, but this time it wasn't going to be construction. It was going to be a bodyguard service, of the super-powered variety, and he was going to charge people through the nose for it.

Aiden grinned to himself in the back seat of the car.

He was drawn out of his scheming when the car slowed to a stop out the front of a large and incredibly strange-looking building.
