Kenji learned of the newest berserk super incident during dinner with his lovely family. While he was swallowing down all the spiteful answers that he wanted to give them, along with the tasteless food. The tv was on and his father turned up the volume when the incident came live on the news. Now that the reporters have drones, they get to the scene much faster than with helicopters. Better quality footage as well.
Cold shudders ran over Ken’s back. Why is this suddenly happening in such an escalating matter? Kenji may count as being intelligent but this was something he could not grasp. However, he could predict the direction in which this was going. Soon the normal population would only see extremist criminal supers. Even more discrimination for those that have powers. At some point, the super community will feel the need to stand up for themselves. Surely they will try to be peaceful at first. History has shown often enough that a fight for acceptance rarely goes by without bloodshed. Still, why are there suddenly so many violent incidents involving people with powers? Was that terroristic attack some kind of trigger?
Ken’s trail of thought, with which he could distance himself from the conversations around the dinner table, got ripped apart in one small moment when the drone camera caught a glimpse of the likely criminal. Big, green, barely human anymore.
“Gross, they should just shoot that.” The amount of empathy his sister has for a fellow human being is always a pure bliss to listen to..... Not...
“It’s the police own fault for letting that run around freely.” Ken’s sister has obviously inherited that from their father. Using proper grammar is too stupid for him.
“What a monster. “ As always his mother said the nicest thing she could think of. “Luckily, that is pretty far away from our home.” What she did not say but was clearly written over her face was ‘if you turn into something like that then just kill yourself and save the world and yourself from the suffering.’
Kenji just wanted to scream. That is a fellow human being you are talking about! Your **** ass attitude is not helping with the current situation! And then there is this little soft voice whispering in the far back of his head: ‘that’s what they really think. Now you know what will happen to you if they ever find out...’
He went to his room as soon as he could. Sleep kept hiding until very late that night
