Decades ago, the world wasn’t divided by countries—it was divided by ability. People with powers, called “metas,” lived alongside regular people, but fear shaped everything. Governments labeled metas as unstable, unpredictable… dangerous. Tension grew into protests—especially in marginalized communities where metas were more common, louder, and harder to ignore. During one of the most volatile periods of civil unrest, a coalition of scientists introduced what they called a stability vaccine—publicly marketed as a way to “protect” both metas and regular people. Privately, it was meant to suppress. ⸻ 🧪 The Mistake That Changed Everything The vaccine didn’t erase powers. It rewrote them. In some people, it dulled emotional spikes. In others, it did something no one expected—it created abilities where there were none. Subtle at first. A flicker. A shift. A strange coincidence. Then it started appearing in their children. And their children’s children. What was once rare became inherited. Entire families became metas—not by evolution, but by accident. ⸻ 🌆 Modern Day Setting Now, years later, society has adapted * Metas aren’t openly feared anymore—they’re regulated * Schools quietly separate “enhanced” students * Jobs screen for ability levels under the guise of “aptitude testing” * The history of the vaccine is buried, rewritten, or denied. A school for high school and college metas and intelligently gifted kids was founded and accepted world wide, now metas and humans even interracial marriage and kids.
