The Genesis Doctrine

Book one in the genesis series

In the year 2020 the first person was found to possessed a mod,a genetic modification that allowed her to burn any wood she touched
The year is now 2040,mods,and the people how have them,know as GENs are more common,about 12% of children are born with a mod.
Even there a lot of people have them,mods are looked at as taboo,and at age 16 you are tested for signs of them. If you have any the government will give you a shot to negate your powers.
But even after you are 'normal' you will be hated and laughed at.
The only GENs that people respect are Tracers,they use their gifts to hunt or kill others like them.

My name is Annie Connors,the superhero wannabe.
Me,my family,and a couple others are off the grid,we live in the woods nearby Glass,the capital city of the NZAR or New Zealand and Australian republic.
We hunt and fish and occasionally steal from the markets in Glass,in some ways I was lucky,I was born out here,I had shown signs of mods the second I could walk when most people develop them at 15 or 16,I have two mods,one is quite common,I can heal people with a touch,the other is a blood mod,a powerful yet dangerous strength that you can only use when you are bleeding. I steal other people's mods,but it leaves them as a lifeless husk,still breathing and with a beating heart,but in an almost comatose state. I have only ever stolen one person's mods,and it left me scarred for life. It was a tracer,a GEN super soldier.
She had snuck up on me when I was out hunting,she cut my hand with a combat knife and as I tried to push her off it happened,she fell to the ground,light draining from her eyes. She just sat there,barely breathing,the next day I found out I could slow down time.
