Knowledge is Dangerous

Prologue

It was a typical Monday afternoon D.W. was enjoying watching Mary Moo Cow show. She was so fascinated in the show she didn't realize Arthur had walked into the TV room and sat down next to her. Arthur was relief after a painful 5 minutes that Mary Moo Cow show was done and quickly grabbed the remote and switched the channel to 9 so he could watch a new series.

As the delightful sound of Mary Moo Cow ending credit changed into an obnoxious commercial for a local fast food restaurant; D.W. realized what had happened.

"Mom!" D.W screamed extremely loudly, "Arthur changed the channel before my show was done."

Mrs. Read was in the kitchen reading the newspaper and sighed when hearing D.W. voice knowing there going to be another ridiculous argument between her kids over the their television time. She hated always having to get involved with this particular situation.

"Mom, it was just the ending credits of Mary Moo Cow." Arthur yelled, "She seen them a thousand times. What difference does it make if she watch it this time."

D.W. got an angry expression on her face, "That not the point, the fact is it's still my TV time and not yours yet so you have to wait, that what Dad said last week."

"But I can't miss the beginning opening of C-Squad it's a new action show all the kids will be talking about it tomorrow in school." Arthur said in defense.

The arguing continued for several more minutes until it was interrupted with a catchy tone of opening song of C-Squad. Both Arthur and D.W. stared at the television in awed. Arthur was amazed with the color of the outfits of character and the action scenes just presented from the opening. D.W. noticed the beautiful teenage tan color aardvark girl with chocolate color hair just like hers in a gorgeous pink dress.

The awkward silence for several minutes shocked Mrs. Read she quickly ran into the next room to check if her kids were all right. When she got into the TV room she was surprised that they were both peacefully watching TV; What a relief she thought I thought something terrible has happen I never seen them be so quiet before around each other. She decided to sit down and see what her children were both so intrigued about.

"You all must know why I have recruited you to this new special school?" Steve Connor, who is an older bald man in a wheelchair, asked a small group of students at the first assembly of school.

All the students seem to be clueless about the entire situation. All they knew is that they had been sent there because their parents disliked their "special" abilities. Most of them felt abandonment by their expresses on their faces because the fact is they are considered freaks.

Then Connor continued knowing he wouldn't get the response he wanted, "Well, I bought you all here because we have problems with people who have super-power when they are older and decide to use them for evil purposes. As you all notice that the entire school isn't at this assembly, well that because they do not know they are mutants yet. Instead of giving them a huge shock on first I figure it be best we keep them in the dark about their own powers as yet."

All the students seem distress about the entire situation and knowing they were sent to a place just for mutants to learn. Most of them had the feeling of rejection on their mind and Connor could sense it.

"What sort of danger are we in?" a teenage aardvark girl asked Connor in a telepathic message.

Connor was very glad that one of the students as ready to take charge and help with the efforts against the one that abuse their ability to gain power and sends a message back to the young lady. "Jeannie, we will only find out in time what is in store for us."

"How come their mouths aren't moving while they talk?" D.W. asked curiously. She was more interesting in knowing more about Jeannie Black character.

Arthur laughed at D.W. statement and commented, "Isn't it obvious? They are using telepathic power to communicate."

"Shhh, please." Mrs. Read said hoping there wouldn't be a huge fight that last comment Arthur made.

After about 15 more minutes the ending credits came on and both D.W. and Arthur frowned the show was so entertaining neither of them wanted it to end. D.W. decided to go up to her room to tell Nadine about the exciting new show she just had seen.

"Nadine!" D.W. excitedly yelled. Then swirls of mist circle around in one place and Nadine appeared in front of D.W.

"What is it D.W.?" Nadine asked curiously

"I just saw the most fantastic show ever! It had the most beautiful girl I ever seen in it her name is Jeannie Black." D.W. explained, "The entire school she goes to has superpowers and her is 'telepathy.' It was so awesome."

Nadine responded, "Sounds exciting, why didn't you get me so I could watch it."

D.W. frowned and started feeling guilty about not telling Nadine earlier. Then she lay down on her bed and imagine how wonderful it would be to be a mutant with super cool power. "Nadine is it possible you could be a mutant and we just don't know about it. I mean I am the only one who can see you after all."

"Hmmm." Nadine said and thought about what superpower she could have. "Well, you could also be a mutant too."

D.W. lit up bright with the thought of what Nadine said. Me? A mutant? Cool! Then D.W. remembered that the show mention that most of the students at the school haven't realized they were mutants yet. Then she began to imagine life as a mutant:

D.W. enter the halls of C-Squad school and was dressed up in a purple dress with flowers all over them and then Steven Connor came out to greet her.

"Ah, D.W. I glad you discovered you powers. They will be most beneficial for our efforts against the one who use them for evil purposes."

"I'm most honor to be here." D.W. smiled, "I have mainly decided to come here because of Arthur he is using his power to terrorized all of Elwood City." Then she cries and continued, "I wish he hadn't discover them because he has a tendency to be greedy. Now it's awful my parents wait on him hand and foot and so does all of Elwood City."

Then a cloud of smoke appeared out of no where when it blew away Arthur figure was standing there with his eyes glowing with rage. His skin was now reddish color he discover his fire-wielding powers and it morphed him into a complete jerk. He grinned evilly and spoke, "So this is where you are?" His arms went up into the air and they began to glow bright red and finally turned into pure flames.

"Arthur, following me here was a big mistake on your part." D.W. said hoping the other mutants would help stop her over controlling brother. "What do you want?"

Arthur mouth open and strange words came out that confused D.W. "It's time for dinner."

Nadine nudged D.W. hoping it would snap her out of the fantasy she was so deeply concentrating on. D.W. opened her eyes and realized she was back in her bedroom.

"Did you hear me, D.W.?" Arthur asked from the other side of the door, "It's time for dinner."

D.W. shook her head in disbelief and got up and went downstairs to eat dinner.
