Hey everyone! The first couple of chapters is really about my early experience, but don't worry, fighting will be on it's way. (P.S. You'll be sick of it by the end of season 2  )
-------------------------
Chapter 1; Beginnings
-------------------------
Michael is at school and the bell rings for break, it's a little rainy, thunder and lightning can be heard and seen overhead. He lines up at the handball courts feeling very sure of himself. Two bullies walk up behind him and shove him into the court just as soon as the other guy hits the ball, head shot.
Michael: Ow, what the heck was that for?
Chad: Ow, what was that for? (He said in a whiney imitation)
Michael: Leave me alone.
Chad: Or what?
Nick: You're helpless.
They start laughing louder and louder. The storm alarm starts to ring as lightning hits the hilltop on the other side of the playground but it was odd, the lightning looked discolored somehow... Michael charges Nick, who dodges and pushes him into a puddle next to a drain with some colorful liquid in it. Lightning Strikes a few more times, this time, one of the handball court walls is hit and almost instantaneously melted. Kids are running from every which way back inside the school. The light rain that sprinkled earlier during break had transcended, it's now heavy and pouring. There are only a small group of children watching, some teachers and a security guy are yelling at them to get in. Michael stands up, soaked, sad, and vengeful.
Just then golden lightning strikes the stream he's standing in about 50 feet away, Michael is instantly electrocuted and sent flying through a handball court wall. Chad and his partner Nick along with a few other children are blown backward by the force, Nick being the closet to Michael at the time, receives a flash burn peeling away most of the layers of his skin. Chad was able to grasp his weight and lands on his hands and feet, while the other children land hard and are knocked out. Chad looks around in horror, visibility is hard due to the pounding rain. He tries to run for cover, as soon as he turns around he see's Michael about 10 feet away, soaked, smoking, and with little electrical pulses fluctuating through his entire body. In less than a second, Michael runs up and hits him square in the chest knocking Chad through the window of the school--over a quarter of a mile away. Michael looks at his hand as if it was his the first hand he had ever seen, electricity running through it like a circuit board, then his eyes slowly close, his knees buckle, and he falls to the ground unconscious.
The sound of emergency sirens temporarily wakes him up; Michael opens his eyes, and looks around to see his parents hovering over him asking if he was ok...
Mom: Michael? Honey? Are you feeling ok?
Michael: Kind of tired, (He moves different parts of his body) I don't think anything is broken or hurt, what time is it? How long have I been out?
Dad: That's good, but we're going to get you checked out anyway. You've been out for about an hour. One of the teachers said you were in a fight, but had to go inside, no one else saw what happened, the other children were knocked out and don't remember anything prior to your school break. 2 boys are seriously injured.
Michael: 2 Boys?
Dad: Yes, a Nick and a Chad, Nick received a very bad flash burn by a lightning strike and will be in extensive care for a long time.
Michael: And what about Chad? Did he get burned too? (Michael said knowing fully that's not what happened)
Mom: Er.. not really.
Dad: Something hit him in the chest, almost every one of his ribs is broken, his sternum is cracked and has been unconscious ever since...
Michael: Ever since what?
Dad: People reported him flying through the window at an astonishing speed; he crashed through 3 walls before slowing down causing his collar bone to snap and his left leg bone to shatter.
Michael: ...
Mom: Rest, we shouldn't have told this to you before you were better anyway.
Michael: No, I'm glad you told me, I needed to know. Mmp. (Michael groans with the aching pain in his head) It feels like my brain is going to crawl out of its skull.
Mom: Listen to the doctors, we'll be by later tonight, Spencer is going to go with you. We love you.
They walk off as Spencer walks up. Spencer was one of Michael's best friends then. It's always funny how some short befriends the largest kid huh? Tall, dirty blonde hair, Spencer made a great companion at that school.
Spencer: Hey bro, seeing any lights?
Michael: That's not funny. (Michael says trying to suppress a laugh.)
The ambulance takes them to the hospital and Michael falls asleep. Hours pass by as doctors look over clipboards then to the monitors, then back at the clipboards. The doctors go out of the room and tell the crowd waiting out there one person may go in and wait till he walks up. Michael wakes up to a figure of a man sitting next to him...
Michael: Who are you?
Man: A guide, wait till the time is right, let your instincts take over.
Michael: Wait--
Too late, he disappears in a cloud of haze. Just then Michael sits straight up panting--a dream. He falls back down and sighs, playing the words he heard over and over again in his head. A girl's yelling shakes him out of the day dream. Just then Michael recognizes the smell of peach tea and begins to relax. The room fills up with friendly faces asking him how he's feeling, is he ok, and if they got the right drink.
Michael: I'm ok, yes, I feel fine, better then ok..
Ron: You had us scared there for a couple hours man. (My best friend then, Ron was wiry but strong, much like me, except he had a lighter expression and hair. He could always make me laugh, we had been friends every since we were little and I could trust him with anything.)
Michael: Yeah, scared myself too. How is the rest of the school?
Spencer: An eighth of the school is destroyed, luckily no one was killed. And the only big injuries are those other two kids and you since you were found lying face down in the mud. That's not the weird thing though, the lightning made some sort of symbol around where you were found.
He handed me an aerial photo from this morning taken by the news copter. The symbol was burnt into the ground by the lightning. If the symbol itself did not freak me out enough, the symbol in the diamond did. It was in the shape of person.
Michael: That's so weird--was I found in that diamond?
Spencer: No, you were found about 10 feet away.
Ten feet away...It suddenly came back to me in a flashback. I woke up and stood up I saw Chad regaining his posture, as he turned around I ran 10 feet to him and hit him...it was me in the center of that diamond...I didn't dare say anything about it.
Michael: Whew, lucky me.
Doctor: Could I have everyone but the parents go to the waiting room for a few moments please? Thank you. (Everyone leaves) Well Michael, the other doctors and I have looked over everything and you seem completely fine except for one small thing, besides the various small scrapes and bruises, it seems your dopamine levels have been highly active recently, and it appears to have been triggered by an adrenaline rush. It's nothing to really worry about, and should level out in a few days. Also your electro-chemicals in your body seem to be just a tad high, I suggest going home for a day or two and relaxing, and not doing anything to strenuous.
Michael: That's great, thank you.
Doctor: No problem, I'd say get well soon but it looks like you're just a little tired--
Michael: --and hungry.
Doctor: Haha.
Michael: Thanks again. (The Docotor leaves)

Wow, you know I read Casper comics as a kid, but I never paid attention to the company!! However, no I am not related to them that I know of!! Although, my family always quips about our quasi-Uncle Paul (Paul Harvey) from radio news!!
