   Summary

   He shouldn't be alive.

   That's what Owens said. That burn from the poker should have killed him. But all it did was leave a scar. A bitter thing to tell the world how he was broken. That when he had been taken, that something had changed him. Owens saw it on his scans he wouldn't let him see.

   It didn't matter now. It wouldn't change anything. His powers were getting stronger... and they had noticed.
