The Lost Kids

Cast away for their unusual powers, these kids have made a home away a from home, a somewhat safe haven to live.

Once, a popular doctor for high-ups discovered he had incredible powers. He could create and control fire, and there seemed to be no limit to his powers. He was the first of many. All over people began discovering their powers, and some became insane with it. After only a month, all chaos broke loose. A power-crazed humanoid set fire to a school, and although there were no casualties, no one came out of that building uninjured. The government made a nation-wide announcement that all humanoids were to be captured and thrown in a government "safehouse". Except it wasn't a safehouse, it was a jail and a lab.

Now, ten years later, the population believes humanoids are incredibly dangerous, and are to be avoided at all costs. If a child is discovered to be a humanoid, they are to be thrown out of their house. They may not go to homeless shelters or receive care from child services; they must live on their own. Once a humanoid reaches the age of sixteen, they are to be taken to the government safehouse (suspected to be a lab by humanoids), to remain for the rest of their lives. The Lost Kids are a group of humanoids who live in a hideout, most of them under the age of eighteen, as it's difficult to remain hidden from peacekeepers when you are older.
