The Government's Experiments

This power, this rush I feel is... godlike! Why shouldn't I end this, and get rid of them, who attacked those I love? Concentrating, I clench my hands into fists as my mind focuses in on our assaulters. I imagine their brain cells sporadically dividing and also dying. Immediately the hands of those in front of me fly to their heads and they drop their guns. They violently shake, trying to get rid of the excruciating pain.

Before I deliver the final blow though, my ears catch a faint sound in the chaos around and inside me. It's a voice, a scream from Sarah that seems like a whisper to me. "Jason stop it, you'll kill them! They deserve right judgment, not this!"

My eyes focus on her and see her shock and desperation. Should I stop? Is this wrong?

After escaping the isolated facility he was trapped in for years and running from the government, Jason returns to his hometown, New York. He finds a group of orphans to live with and he does his best to try to live a normal life.

When Jason encounters his old prison mates and friends from the government facility, he panics that they don't remember anything except fake and fabricated lives that are not their own. Can Jason use his new powers to open their minds again? Or will it backfire and turn them against him?
