In my own words, I was born, none of that nonsense about popping out of the womb with a lightning bolt in my hand or anything insane, simply born. My childhood was pretty normal, my father was a police officer, and my mother was a nurse, though she ended up becoming the happy homemaker after I was born. I have a younger brother; he’s fourteen and a complete brat. But, younger brothers are like that, right?
Personally, I had a boring childhood, I did all the normal things, played baseball through high school, was the popular jock all of that nonsense. The only thing was I wasn’t so normal really. I think it was probably the summer I turned sixteen, it was just a normal day when I started to get headaches. None of my family had them before, so when they wouldn’t go away they trucked me off to the local doctor. Migraines he said they were and set me up with some crap medication. Of course, that didn’t work and I was shipped to another doctor and then one more after that. I think it was then that they decided that maybe I was just faking it. They thought that I was jealous that my ten year old brother (at the time) was getting more attention. Sure, I started yelling more, my moods swinging all out of whack, but I had a constant headache, of course I was pissed off. To make a long story short, they took me to a shrink who put me on some kind of medication, which actually helped. The headaches didn’t go away, but I didn’t feel so messed up.
I think it was when I turned seventeen when it got worse, I started to feel everything. I could look at someone and tell how they were feeling without them saying a word, but at the same time, ninety percent of the day I was feeling everyone’s emotions. It stated to drive me completely insane, to the point that there was another trip around the doctor circuit. It wasn’t until the fifth or sixth that my parent’s finally found out the truth.
The truth of the matter, I wasn’t crazy and I wasn’t faking my headache, I was a mutant. Of course, at first they freaked out, it was almost like I had come out of the closet (which I did when I was fifteen). They didn’t know what to do, but they eventually accepted it. The headaches never went away, and the mood swings got worst, but I started to become good enough to control most of my outbursts, even if I couldn’t control what I was feeling. It was sometime around then that I learned how to use my powers to keep people from feeling pain; it was useful in a way I suppose. I was like a walking morphine drip or something.
When I graduated high school, I knew one thing… I wanted to follow the footsteps of my father and become a police officer. Being able to sense the emotions of someone, to know when they were lying had to be useful. Unfortunately, St Louis really wasn’t the Mecca of mutant studies, so I did the one thing I could do. I went to the one place where they would understand my abilities and be able to put them to use; I went to Paragon. Of course, I didn’t know what they would do with a kid from Missouri who can be charming one moment and turn into a complete jerk the next moment, but I at least hoped they could help.
