John was walking along on the sidewalk, his right eye was bandaged and appeared to be swollen, and he was carrying a box full of chocolate bars. He had spent the previous day using his gift to track down a few Gifted, and was eventually lead to an orphanage. Today - he had put on a bandage to cover his eye, using some meat from a hamburger to make it look swollen, and had gone to buy some chocolate bars for the kids at the orphanage. [i]Kids like chocolate right? Never mind that, it doesn't matter, I just need to get them to trust me...at least enough to tell me their powers...then I can just take away the ones with lethal gifts...that's all I care about...[/i]

He approached the front door to the orphanage, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell. He then heard distant screaming and a few gunshots as he waited, cringing with each crisp "pop". [i]This world has gone to hell...I'm just trying to get by...[/i] He thought, looking off to where he heard the gunshots come from. John then felt a surge of information rush into his mind, and his body began to shake as if he had felt a chill. [i]There were a bunch of kids all sitting at a table, and there were a bunch of presents and there was a cake in front of a young girl, with brown hair and green eyes...her parents stood to either side behind her chair as they all sang happy birthday. Her father was wearing an officer's outfit, with a D.M.A. badge. The little girl then blew out her candles, and everyone cheered...but then, one of the other kids screamed and pointed at the little girl...her left eye had suddenly turned from green to bright pink. Her parents looked in disbelief, then suddenly the father grabbed her and pulled her into another room as the mother began to cry "Not my baby!"...and then..."BANG"[/i]

The vision ended suddenly, and John held his hand up to his head and cringed. To anyone else, he would appear to be reliving a nightmare.
