If Destiny has taught us one thing: Never expect it von Dragani (You never guess it right) ================================================================================ Kapitel 1: Chapter one: “Well, that was new.” --------------------------------------------- Like always, I was watching TV. The new season of Heroes had started and the latest German episode was aired today. Of course I already knew it, I’d watched the original one, but this time there was something new. And it wasn’t the actors’ voices. “Sorry to interrupt your TV – Program” said a familiar voice. Ali Larter was standing in front of lot microphones, clearing her voice and smiling nervously into the camera. On her right Masi Oka was standing, on her left Sendhil Ramamurthy. Hmm. Looked like a press conference. Well, that was new. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Did these fucking editors cut this genius series? Seriously, that wouldn’t have been very nice. Or intelligent. “Hi, my name is Tracy Strauss and no, this isn’t a Promotion for the TV – Series ‘Heroes’. It’s a publicly announcement. Because, um, well, yeah…” Wow, she stuttered. She didn’t know what to say. Unusual for Tra… Wait, was that really Tracy Strauss? That couldn’t be. Was this a joke? ‘Tracy’ smiled nervously, laughed slightly hysterical and then swallowed. She took a deep breath but after that she spoke fluently: “It’s hard to say this in a way that everyone believes. But: People with abilities exist.” Wow. That was so new to me. To support her words she froze one microphone which shattered into thousands of pieces and left a loud, high noise that hurt my ears very hardly. “‘Heroes’ isn’t just a TV – Series. In fact, nearly all of the things which happened in the show are true. They’re real. They’ve happened. And practically all of the persons in the Series are real, too. Like my two friends here, Professor Mohinder Suresh and Hiro Nakamura who have the word now.” ‘Tracy’ stepped back while ‘Mohinder’ came forward. “Evolution allowed several human beings to take a step forward. Now they are special, different – extraordinary. How you would like to say it.” Jesus, how I loved this accent. I was so goddamn hot! “Now they have abilities. Some of them might be happy, others aren’t.” Did they know me? “But now, we’re offering help: We’ve built and founded a school for people with gifts. And we would be glad to help those of you who want to get rid of their abilities we would pleased to help. Everyone is welcome. We will help.” All right. Now they were copying X – Men completely. Should please our little comic freak. And looked like it did because Hiro was smiling widely into the crowd. I actually started to believe them. I was skeptical at first, but now it sounded plausible to me. But still too cool to be true. Wait, that’s what I’d thought of the things my parents had told me… Mohinder stepped back and let Hiro talk. “Everyone who wants to be tested whether they have abilities will be welcomed, too. The Project starts in too weeks. It won’t cost anything for the future pupils. We hope you will step forward and show the world what you’re capable of. Domo arigato!” Hiro bowed and took a step backwards. Several Telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and names of information websites were blended in. Okay, that was creepy. “Mom!” Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
