Superpower serum (567 words)

"Listen up!" A man in a militaristic uniform says loudly.

"You all were chosen as the first humans in history to reach a new height which was believed to be impossible to achieve for anyone.

Today you all will prove the world that a new age has begun for all of humankind." His loud voice finally awoke a woman in the far back of the rows of forty people.

She has short blond hair bound into messy ponytail and sleepily blinks her mellow blue eyes.

A lazy yawn escapes her full pink lips and causes some of the people standing close to look at her in disapproval.

Her name is Laufey Weiss she is a standard soldier who had the luck to be chosen as a participant for this world changing project.

Too bad that she didn't really care for anything other than to laze around, she has mastered the arts of sleeping in any situation at any moment of the day.

She would have long since left the army if not for her family which has a rather strict military background thanks to her two grandfathers who both had considerable achievements in the past war.

Because of this she could only curse and endure the four years in the army and role with it.

Luckily her fourth year is just a month away from ending and she could already feel the softness of her couch.

Laufey rapidly blinks her eyes and regains some of her focus as she hastily got herself a crude overview of the current situation.

´From the tone of the generals voice I can safely assume that nothing of importance has been said till now. If he had he would use that big ass screen behind him to list everything that has been said so that we can be sure of each step.´ Her mind, even though still a bit slow, was fast to gain a picture of her surroundings and the current situation.

After confirming her deduction by listening to boring speech of the loud prick at the front, she let her mind wander and imagine what she should do once free of her current situation.

The boring speech goes on for another five minutes before finally something interesting was said.

"There are three different kind of serums from which you can choose.

Red Serum, this will give you a superpower of the emitter class, allowing you to produce and emit different things from within your body.

Blue Serum, this will give you a superpower of the manipulator class, allowing you to manipulate existing matter or energy.

Green Serum, this serum is the most unpredictable as it will give you a mutant class superpower, which comes with extreme physical changes but also strange and mysterious abilities." General seriously explains.

Laufey looks straight at the face of the general with a blank look in her eyes.

´After telling us all this does really expect any of us to take the risk and choose the green serum? ´While she muses over this the general continues on about something less important which Laufey automatically tunes out.

Only once the first candidate steps forward and reaches into one of three boxes did she focus her scattered mind and looks on in interest when the man with short brown hair takes out a vial with red liquid from the box.

´Of course he choose the red one.
