Kenji, mostly called Ken, didn’t watch the news. Rather he tried to avoid watching it as much as possible. Most of the time the theme was just horrible. It was all about people that could do something special. A small criminal robbing a bank by walking through the wall, a small hero that helped children cross the street by making them float over the traffic, a big time villain that attempted to destroy the world that got stopped by a big time superhero. It’s all the same and all the time.<br/>To be fair, he was quite special as well. He was not proud of it, but he didn’t hate it as well. He was just a little jealous of how the others got their powers. He didn’t get them in a cool or impressive way like an experiment gone wrong, or a radioactive animal biting him, or because one of his parents happened to be an alien or a god. He got them because his sister locked him up in a dark closet when they were visiting the cern reactor at the time a little mishap happened. That is just embarrassing. Ken also doesn’t have to deal with an inner emotional conflict like battling his fear of the dark which was a result of a childhood trauma. Mainly because he wasn’t afraid of the dark and the most traumatic thing in his life would be his “lovely” sister.<br/>Under the line he probably belonged to the most underestimated group of special people, those that hide their powers. Well, that’s what he wanted anyway. Lately, there was something going on. Ken didn’t quite know what it was. He had an inkling of it, but every time he arrived at the scene of the crime, all that he found was a dead body. Without prove, there was nothing he could do. At least he was smart enough to always hide his face when using his powers, so even though he was being suspected of being the murderer, nobody knows who he is.<br/>Ken was on his way home from his university. The courses were not all that challenging so he had a lot of free time. Usually he would use that to get some practice with his powers in case he ever needs them. However today he decided to go home straight away and get some homework done. Despite being a university student, he still lived at home. They lived pretty close to the university and it was cheaper that way. With just a 20 minute walk he would be home. Even in the middle of the city, he enjoyed these moments of quietness.
