Lying inside an MRI machine, was nervous and slightly scared inside the round and magnificent tube.

 Just beside the room stood two men in lab coats. 

 There were men dressed in military uniforms and holding submachine guns.

  “Are you ready?” one of the doctors asked through the mic.

 “Do it.” the boy replied with a resolute tone. 

 The doctor nodded and pushed a button and the MRI machine began to give a low humming sound.

 Suddenly, the boy felt a sharp pain in his head, which made him scream in agony. He struggled to break free, but he was restricted. After a few seconds, the noise died down.
 
 Suddenly, an alarm began to blare and all the monitors displayed warning and error messages. The men were all shocked, and the uniformed men all cocked their guns and pointed them at the MRI machine. 


 The normal MRI machine began to glow and melt. One could tell that something was burning it.


 Suddenly, it exploded, sending the parts flying everywhere. Some even broke through the glass pane and hit some of the uniformed men.



 There was smoke everywhere and the men all stood up and looked in the direction of the MRI room. As the smoke cleared, a pair of red, cold, and burning eyes opened up and stared at them, sending shivers down their spines.

 Following an accidental encounter, Leo began to manifest superpowers, but with great power, comes power-hungry men and great responsibilities.

 Leo promises to use his powers for good and be the hero he wants to be. But, things did not to turn the way he wanted them to be


 Will Leo overcome the principalities he faces with himself and be the hero he wishes to be, or will he succumb to the ugliness and rage inside him?

The Crimson Phoenix.

 Closing his eyes and concentrating, flames began to rise slowly from Leo's body. Surprisingly, they didn't burn his clothes, instead, they fused with them. Logan who was sitting in front of him felt a very warm sensation on his body. He felt slightly energized too and this greatly surprised him. What truly surprised him though, was Leo's look in front of him. 


 "Wow. Is this the power of nirvana, the power of a Phoenix?" He muttered to himself. Leo was unaware of what Logan was saying. He didn't recite his mantra outside this time, but he kept thinking of it inside. He still heard that voice in his head. He chose to ignore it at first, however, curiosity got the better of him and he focused on the voice. 


Negotiation.
