"Well, here's a history lesson for you. In the early 1870s, a man named, Alfred Willmont, a slightly disturbed man, who wanted badly to create the next 'Super Human.' He kidnapped people to use as test subjects for he experiments. He wanted to create a person who could 'leap over tall buildings and hold freight trains over their head,' along with being able to heal people with a single touch, and many other super powers. One day, in 1883, about ten years after he started his experiments, he finally found a serum that, when injected into a person's blood stream, it would turn them in to an invincible being with healing powers and such.
“When Willmont ultimately came up with this mixture, he got extremely excited. Well, with him being in his 70s, and in all of his excitement, when he went to find an newspaper interviewer, he forgot about how to keep the test subject at bay. So, with the subject having a 'super brain,' they thought of what might happen to him, and all of the things he could do without Willmont, he escaped from Willmont's basement. When Willmont got back with the interviewer and found that his experiment escaped, he got so angry that he shot the interviewer so that he wouldn't tell everyone that he was a failure, then he hung himself."
"Oh my goodness, that's terrible."
"Yes, it is a tragedy." Beth sat down next to me and leaned her head against the wall.
"What happen to the test subject?"
"Well, the test subject, his name was Benjamin, knowing what he had to do, he got a passport, and moved across the world, to Canada. Being only sixteen, he decided that he needed to get an education. So he went to high school for three years, and because of his amazing grades, he went on to MIT, and got a career as a doctor."
"And this was all in his plan to do what, exactly?"
"He knew that he had to figure out a way to breed so that the super human was genetic, and not synthetic. That's why he became a doctor, so it would be easier to research. He found that it had to be a person with AB- blood, which is the rarest type. Because he was a doctor, he had access to peoples records, so he could look to see what everyone’s blood type was."
"I bet he figured that it had to do with blood, that's why he became a doctor."
"That's right. So he found a person that had AB-, and, well, you know what happens next."
"Yeah."
"They had multiple children, and they made sure that they, and their children's children breed together, keeping the genes."
"So now there's a lot of them, all over the world, right?"
"Correct."
"And so I'm one of them?"
"Right."
I also need to figure out what to call these "superhuman" people. I can't just keep calling them "superhuman people." If you have any ideas, please feel free to comment and let me know. Thanks!
