Months passed. Humanity began to interact with the superheroes, especially telepaths. Soon people forgot how afraid they were of the superheroes. They wanted to help, and heroes that posed no threat could understand what others felt, no matter what their power was. In fact, some superheroes, who knew how much others wanted to help, became the most helpful.
Over the years, new superheroes were constantly being born. They were even more powerful than the last. Soon, the superheroes were constantly fighting each other, and the world was quickly deteriorating.
It was finally decided that only a select few superheroes were powerful enough to help Earth. These heroes would protect us from external threats and also silently control the world. For some reason, telepaths were excluded from this list. It was assumed that by not being able to read minds, they would pose no threat.
The biggest, most famous superhero was chosen to be the most powerful in the world and leader of the heroes. He was super strong, superhumanly fast, and knew how to use his powers to their maximum potential. He was a good leader. He protected Earth while protecting his friends and family. While the other heroes were busy fighting each other, he worked to gain power. No one knew what he wanted to do, and no one else wanted to find out.
But then everything changed. A huge ship crashed into New Mexico, their most secure area. Many people died, but their leader got away. Soon, the other superheroes were also after him.
After that, the superheroes that remained began to notice how much this new superhero was taking. He had made many powerful friends over the years, and supposedly he lived a happy, normal life with them. But there was something different about him.
These superheroes began to notice that the new superhero was slowly gaining more and more control over them. He commanded them to do things that went against everything they knew they were not supposed to do. He told them to kill, steal, and lie. He made them create wars so that he could be president. And soon other superheroes said the same thing.
But the new superhero had a secret. He was a telepath, and others would say that he couldn't do these things, because he would not be able to control them. But the superheroes that were following him soon became the most powerful, and he controlled the others that were trying to stop him and their actions. Finally, the other superheroes had to prove themselves to him, so that he would listen.
One by one, the new superhero caught up with the superheroes and burned them all. Every single superhero he came across was burned. But he was never burned himself. It was always other superheroes. He used telepathy so that others would not understand that he could use it himself.
He was the most powerful telepath there ever was, and he knew it. The only one that rivaled him was his best friend, who was constantly helping him. She was good at telepathy too and helped him with controlling his own ability.
