“Mom? Mom?!” A small child screamed as the found the character from their favorite book standing before them; with the same dazed look they had in that moment. Else where in the world other children were discovering new skills and abilities they never would have imagined having. But one child who was watching the stories unfold on the news and thought something else entirely; This is will a grinding halt to human advancements....

Fifteen years later and the children with powers have divided into two separate groups. And a little too stereotypical if you ask me; the heroes, who use their skills and resources to try and help the people of earth, and the villains, the ones who try to use their powers and advantages to selfishly gain everything they crave.

Off the coast of the Carolina in The USA we find the beaches are being bombarded a seemingly endless blizzard.

“chimera have you found anything? Quantum motion is having trouble finding safe landing places to keep escorting people out.” Requested the voice in the ear piece. Chimera; a hero who can shape shift parts of their body into animal parts; was using a snakes thermal senses to try and find people trapped in the thick layers of snow and ice. ” Nothing yet Demon Eye the cold temperatures are even starting to make it hard to find the people even with thermal sensing.” Demon eye is another hero; who's ability is capable of making illusions, the biggest draw back is normally nothing can interact with them and just pass through. “you know Demon Eye you can come out into the cold too.

“you know as well as I do me and Angel Hand don't work well in these situations, we are best served trying to find something; or someone in most cases; that is causing the calamity... Just what do they have to gain from this?” Demon eye inquired. Chimera thinking for a moment had just one thought, “well if weather like this persists for too long it will drive estate prices way down, and makes the property cheap to purchase; So thus once all the valuable property are all purchased return the sense of summer on rental near the coast and it is a profit heaven' Letting out a sigh continues 'but the main issue with that though would be the scope of this nature. As far as I am aware there is one villain with that wealth to get all those properties, but they lack the ability to cause this.

Demon eye gets quite with that thought. “there is another problem with that theory as well...” A third voice chiming into the radio's frequency channel. “As far as we are aware there were only a finite number of us born with abilities and none could do this. Even on the villains side.”

“Venus Project how good of you to join me and Demon in the conversation, what is your ideas then?”

“I am unsure right now let's pull back, regroup, and look at what else might be going on right now.”

“Sounds like a plan I will see everyone back at Head quarters.”

Sitting in a conference room on the oppisite side of the country was Sobez, and he seemed angered and frustrated. The door opening a man in a suit of rippling patterns of colors stepping in. “you seem angered I wonder why.”

Sobez rhythmically tapping on the table. “Where are the self sustaining heaters that were in development at Halt?”
