1.0

Ooft, a hasty prologue to a knock off X-Men story complete with Magneto esque gun manipulation.

What starts off as any run of the mill teen high school story in a sleepy town with some very unrealistic teen dialogue quickly shifts into a story of unexplained events, secret doors, and government conspiracy that seems intent to leave the reader confused before a pretty poor attempt at a climatic ending.
