- "Kinetic"
- T. Perrin
- Issue #85 April 16 1999
- This is a wonderful tale which really conveys a sense of motion and action through the written word. Johnny is a cop, but he's also a kinetic. Kinetic's are people which unusual psychic powers. Under the influence of a careful mix of drugs, kinetics become powerful weapons, nearly superhuman. But Johnny feels like he's falling apart and cannot control himself any longer, so he quits. He takes up a quiet office, meets a nice woman at work who has a nice kid. He is starting to unwind and feel like life can be normal. Until two detectives come in and ask him to return to deal with a hostage taking. The nearest functional kinetic would not make it on time and the hostage takers are starting to kill people. Johnny refuses, he doesn't want to go back to that. So they tell him it's a school, full of children. The two dead hostages are children. Johnny's woman friend over-hears the conversation and is amazed to discover that he's a kinetic. One cop mentions the name of the school and she pales; her son goes to that school. So Johnny comes back. In the prep-van, he tells the tech to pump him up to the max. The tech refuses, saying it could kill him. Johnny threatens him until he gets his own way. Drugged into a level exceeding anything he had ever done before, he heads into the school. Since he can't enter without being seen, and the hostages are in the gymnasium, he decides to make a new door. Brick and steel vaporize as he walks through the wall. He unleashes his power through the gymnasium and the terrorists "turn to popcorn".
