She was sent by a secret organization (The COSP) to recruit him, after it came to their attention that he possessed unique abilities. Michael had to join that secret organization where he'd be taught how to control his new abilities; else he'd be kidnapped by the evil rivals of said organization. Those evil rivals already have agents who were in the calm city of Crestville. They have a plan to get revenge on The COSP for a war that broke out years ago. Chaos is brewing, safety isn't assured anymore; amd Michael is caught in the crossfire! So much for living a lonely, stagnant life...
