Written byJWølf

Narrated by... oh come on, you already know.

So yeah, Jack was doing well now.

His mom had just finished one of those "God-save-my-traumatized-son" prayers and kissed him on the forehead.

I mean… come on. He's 16. What is he, a giant baby?

Anyway, after they left, Jack couldn't stop thinking about the nightmare he had.

He pulled down the collar of his hospital gown and noticed something weird on his chest — like a scar. yeah it looked clean.

like someone had performed surgery on him while he was unconscious.

Damn… these aliens are really on hard drugs at this point.

Then — knock knock.

Jack turned. Two people stepped into the room. They looked like they came from a spy movie: black coats, serious expressions, boots that definitely made noise on purpose.

i mean they could have knocked

Jack squinted.

One of them… looked familiar.

Not the alien guy.

The one who broke him out of the pod.

Yeah. Him.

Captain Michael.

And beside him? A 16 year old asain girl,her name?

Suzune Haruno.

Now, I know what you're thinking:

But relax. We don't get there yet.

Jack blinked. "Hey i remember u ,who are u ? why are u here?"

Michael chuckled. "seems u are doping well Jack,u should be thanking us since we pulled your ass out of that gooey nightmare ."

Suzune stepped forward and dropped a hologram onto the hospital table. It showed strange, glitchy images — alien shapes, dark labs, maps with red blinking lights across the globe.

She began:

"Jack, the thing you saw…

They're called Vahlrix. Paranormal species from Pluto."

Jack blinked. "I thought Pluto wasn't even a planet anymore."

Michael smirked. "NERD." as he proceeds to take an apple ,bro

Anyways Suzune continued:

"They've been invading for two years now — quietly.

and theyve been crating mutation experiments.

See, they can't breathe Earth's air. So they tried to fuse. Adapt.

Adults were too strong, too smart… so they went for kids."

"and seems u werent an exeption"

Jack's throat went dry. "So… what? I'm some science fair experiment?"

Michael nodded slowly. "One of thousands. But one of the few who survived… and changed."

Suzune zoomed in on the hologram. It showed a photo of kids who had experied this

"The symptoms vary.

Nightmares. Seizures. Hallucinations. Sometimes… death.

But others? They develop… abilities."

Jack looked down at the scar again.

"So either I'm gonna gain superpowers or I'm gonna die in my sleep?"

Suzune shrugged. "Depends how fast you learn to control it."

Welp.

Seems our boy is either getting superpowers or is about to become cosmic spaghetti.

Either way, we're watching

"we are creating a group of teens who are volunteering to help other kids and put the end to all of this madness" said Michael

Jack "I can't do it, u know I have school, family and-"

Michael "No, no, no it's not a question of option it's an order"

Jack " what?"

Suzune "Yes every one who is above 15 years of age has to join the crew"

Jack "But-"

Michael "no buts we would be seeing by Friday by 1pm"

As Suzune hands him a document file and written on it the cosmic x, haha got ya it was called cosmic squad 11.
