CHAPTER 19
A seven year old Roy is playing with a baby Lumen and one year old Tyson as Hummingbird and auto walk in.
(Hummingbird): It's time for bed Roy.
(Roy): Come on just a little bit longer?
(Auto): Sorry Roy, but you have school tomorrow. I'll read you a bedtime story if you want.
(Roy): But I'm not tired.
Hummingingbird points her finger up and suddenly Roy and the two babies start to float.
(Roy confused) WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?!
(Auto): Rose you can't do that!
(Hummingbird): I know what I'm doing. Now Roy if you go to bed and keep this a secret then when you get home from school you can play spaceman tomorrow and pretend you're on the moon.
(Roy): Really? I promise!
(Hummingbird smiling): See I know how to raise kids.
(Auto): You really shouldn't be using your manifest. What if he tells people?
(Hummingbird): Come on, give Roy more credit than that. He promised and he knows to never break a promise, right Roy?
Roy floats over to Hummingbird with a smile on his face and the two pinky swear.
(Roy smiling): I'd never lie on a pinky swear.
A few months go by and one day a Hummingbird is making Roy float and fly around the room like a superhero.
(Roy smiling): Look Rose i'm just like the heroes in my comic books
Hummingbird smiles and laughs as suddenly the door behind her opens and Auto walks in. Hummingbird gets scared and nervous when she hears the door open and sighs in relief when she sees Auto.
(Auto): Rose, I think maybe you need to stop using your powers.
(Roy): But Auto, why does she need to stop?
(Auto): Roy what in school have you learned about factors?
(Roy): Nothing, they teach us that stuff when we are older.
Suddenly Roy's father walks in and sees Roy floating and is stunned.
(Roy's father): What on earth is going on?
After reading the situation Roy's father asks Auto and Hummingbird to follow him and talk in his office. The two parents leave their kids with Roy as they follow his father. After a long night Roy waited in his room until finally a Hummingbird and an Auto walk into his room and tucked him into bed.
(Roy): Is everything okay?
Hummingbird and Auto smile and say “Everything is gonna be okay”.
(Auto): What do you think of Tyson and Lumen?
(Roy): Well I love them, they're like my little siblings.
Hummingbird and Auto smile.
(Hummingbird): You're a sweet boy Roy. Goodnight we’ll see you in the morning.
Auto and Hummingbird leave and Roy falls asleep. Late into the night Roy hears his bedroom door open and when he opens his eyes he sees his dad is standing above him holding a syringe.
(Roy): Dad, what are you doing?
(Roy's father): Don’t worry son. It'll all be over soon.
Roy is injected with some kind of liquid. Roy screams out in pain and passes out. When Roy wakes up he is strapped to a medical table as his hands are in immense pain. Roy looks down at his hands and each has an x shaped scar on the back of back of them.
(Roy in pain): What's going on? Someone help me!
Roy looks around the room and sees two other surgical tables. Both have something on them covered with white sheets. Roy starts screaming in fear as the flashback ends.
(Tyson): Wait, what happened?
(Granny): The two things on those tables turned out to be your parents.
(Lumen in shock): WHAT?!?!
(Granny): My son had committed a horrible sin by doing an experiment to turn Roy into what he called an artificial factor. He used your parents to achieve his goal.
Tyson and Lumen are speechless.
(Granny): Roy exploded with aura and destroyed the room he was in. my son had taken his own life after he completed his experiment. The cops apparently had been keeping an eye on my son on suspecting him of researching factors . They raided the houses and found the room where the experiments happened and they found your parent’s' bodies. To hide your identity Roy pretended to be a small orphaned child his father hired to be the butler for you two. The police believe that you two were my sons children and took your parents bodies and all of my sons research. Ever since that day Roy has always worn a suit and black gloves to hide the scars on his hands. Your father left Roy a note explaining to him how to block not only his aura and both of your aura’s as well so that you all could live happy normal lives together and that you two never had to know about the truth. He asked Roy to raise you in fine people and Roy always wanted to live up to that promise.
(Tyson): So everything is our fault?
(Granny): What? No, don't say that. Roy loved you two so much he dedicated his life to keeping you two safe.
