the flame and sent it back in
Lowry’s direction.
    Lowry’s smile
was suddenly wiped off his face. “Oh that's not good!” he
murmured. Lowry screamed in agony as his own abilities were used
against him. Noah walked over to Lowry like a predator that had just
delivered a paralyzing assault. “Don’t just stand there
do something you piece of crap!” Lowry shouted.
    “Ok.”
Noah said with a sly smile on his face. With a giant leap, Noah
ascended in the air, catching the edge of the rooftop and used it to
prop himself over it.
    “I’ll
kill you!” I swear it!' Lowry shouted as Noah disappeared into
the darkness.
    The emergency units
arrived on the scene and put the fire out before it could claim
Lowry’s life. Lowry was placed carefully on a Gurney, lifted
up, and placed inside the ambulance. His injuries were severe and he
had lots of permanent scaring. One of the police officers came over
and stopped the medic from closing the door.
    “What are you
doing? We need to get him to the hospital right away,” the
medic said.
    The police officer
pulled out an inhibitor needle and injected Lowry with it.
    “Better to be
safe than sorry,” the officer said and walked away. The medic
nodded and closed the door behind him.
    Noah watched from
the rooftops as the two Post Humans were driven away.
    “Gary Jenkins
and Lowry Holston have been neutralized,” Noah said over his
earpiece to Stephanie Morgan.
    “Copy that,”
she replied. “Noah, are you still there?”
    Noah acknowledged.
    “I'm getting
a reading on another Post Human in your area. Reading is on a Post
Human named Kyle Stanton,” Stephanie said.
    The name sent a
chill up Noah's spine. Stephanie sent Noah the coordinates of the
location where Kyle's presence was felt. Unfortunately, by the time
Noah arrived, there was no trace of Kyle. Noah searched for hours
hoping for some clue as to Kyle's whereabouts, but his searched
turned up nothing.

Kid on the Block

    Rain poured down on
the remote destination of Stone Ridge Island, home of Post Humans who
abused their abilities in criminal manners. At first, regular prisons
were used to hold the Post Human criminals but it quickly became
apparent that these prisons were not capable of holding these
prisoners.
    Back in 2007, a few
months before the new President was sworn in a Post Human
demonstrated his superiority over humans. His name was Silas Baker
and he had the remarkable ability to melt things by simply touching
them.
    At the time,
G.U.A.R.D did not know that Silas was a Post Human. He was arrested
for robbing a convenient store. Little did they know that their
ignorance would have massive repercussions. Silas waited until very
late that night to make his move. With the changing of the shift
guards completed, Silas placed his hand on the metal bars and melted
them with ease.
    Silas’
cellmate could not let an opportunity to escape pass him by. He
followed Silas and the two made an ill advised attempt to escape.
Both prisoners were captured, but in the midst of their escape, three
officers were killed and another was severely wounded. The situation
was quickly contained and the public was never made aware of the
attempted escape.
    G.U.A.R.D, however
was. The dean immediately expressed his disapproval of having a Post
Human locked up in his prison. The attempted escape was evidence that
his facility was not equipped to handle these people. Commander
Sullivan sent a detailed report to the President and recommended a
new prison be constructed specifically for Post Humans.
    The President met
with Commander Sullivan, Mr. Connors, Joseph Stockton and David Shaw
the President of Shaw Enterprises and father of Jason Shaw to brain
storm. With the extensive knowledge Mr. Connors had in all things
Post Human related and the technological genius of Shaw Enterprises
and Stockton Incorporated, the five men were able to construct a
prison capable of holding these criminals captive.
    Mr. Shaw created a
drug that was
