cap 8

Few people know that there are two human torches, but in the MCU at the Howard Stark convention the human torch appeared and according to historical data it existed, at least that's what some crazy stories from the first world war say.

But for me they are the absolute truth, what happened to it is not known but I know it will work.

I wanted power and even as a child I think like an adult.

I took out a syringe with some super soldier proteins and injected them into my bloodstream but it was painful.

The proteins were perhaps rotten by the passing of the years but I still did it, I injected them into my body and before something bad happened I looked at the vials.

"What stupid things am I doing, stop doubting Marcus." I said to myself after emptying the entire vial into my body, followed by others, from head to toe without fear of death or melting to death.

If I'm lucky, some of the proteins will stick to my DNA, in addition to the power of fire, I can withstand vita rays to a certain extent, but the best of all is that I can convert gamma energy into strength.

Although insignificantly because right now I don't have any vita rays to irradiate in my body or gamma rays, but it will be a precedent in my body that will benefit me later.

"AAAAHHH!" I screamed in pain and instantly fell unconscious after spilling several chemicals from 70 years ago on my body.

'I'm not smart... I can't synthesize or improve what I found, but I would achieve more than a genius of this world and I will be stronger than the heroes and villains of this world or at least many'. I said before falling to the ground unconscious.

I'm sleepy, I feel like it was a good day and I see around 4 children looking at me carefully.

"I thought he was dead." Said one of the children.

"He fell asleep in the showers." Said another child but no one seemed to make fun of me and I understood why.

Stomach pain, good physique, not because of Dr. Abraham Erskine's proteins but because I always train.

Take a deep breath Marcus, take a deep breath, control your emotions.

The worst scenario was not this, 'if I survived it must have worked'.

I turned on the shower faucet and I saw that I managed to put on the towel before falling unconscious.

The liquids are gone, they all went down the drain.

My heart beat, I had an indescribable joy and I wanted to use my powers right now but I had to stay calm.

The powers of the Human Torch are very dangerous for those who are close to me.

It's fire and the temperature can be so high that it could burn everyone alive at school.

I left the showers, put on clothes and escaped from school straight to my house without forgetting to stop by my sister.

When she looked at me she raised her hand which I quickly took, putting it on my shoulder and running as if I were kidnapping her.

"Marcus, put me down, you can see me, you can see me!" Airi screamed but I ignored her and continued running home, when I entered I threw her on the couch, she covered her eyes while I went to the bathroom.

'Idiot, idiot, how embarrassing'. Airi thought with her face red with shame.

I washed the vials and threw them in the trash after damaging them so they would be useless.

"Tonight I will go out to see the moon." I said and Airi stopped covering her eyes with her hands and looked at me.

"The moon?". My sister asked as she uncovered her face and looked at me questioningly.

"Or so tell mom"

"Why?" My sister asked.

"Ninja secret." I told her with a smile and giving her a thumbs up as I pulled some stuff out of the fridge and started preparing some food.

She rolled her eyes and went to get some magazines to read.

Dusk came and I stepped out of the RV, for the first time I was no longer afraid of being kidnapped by a pedophile or some villain coming to kill me.

I had powers.

"But I don't know how to use them." I said and tried to make fire come out but it didn't work.

"Damn, how do I catch fire?" I asked myself before feeling overwhelmed by my nerves and seeing how I started to catch fire.

I literally engulfed myself in flames.

"Shit!" I screamed before rolling around in the sand until the flames died down but they took a long time to die down.

As the flames died down I noticed that my clothes were gone and in the end there was nothing left, just skin.

"Shit, this is not a good place to do this." I said as I calmed down and looked around hoping that no one saw this and luckily no one did.

I returned home naked, stole some clothes from the neighbor's son and entered the trailer.
