Leo trudged along the sidewalk, feeling like a ghost amid the technicolor chaos. In a world where everyone had a superpower, he was the exception. No dazzling light shows, no elemental control—just ordinary Leo.
"Why can't I be like them?" he muttered to himself, watching a young girl effortlessly levitate a few feet off the ground.
Leo found solace in this forgotten part of the city, away from the constant reminder of his ordinariness. As he wandered deeper into the station, a glint caught his eye—a strange artifact partially buried in the debris.
"What's this doing here?" he wondered aloud, brushing away the dirt to reveal a small, intricately carved stone.
Curiosity piqued, Leo picked it up, feeling a warmth spread through his fingers. As the glow intensified, he felt a surge of energy coursing through him, awakening something deep within.
"I can feel it..." he whispered, eyes widening in disbelief as he realized he was levitating a few inches off the ground.
Leo emerged from the subway station, his heart racing with newfound excitement. The realization that he possessed a power of his own—hidden, waiting to be discovered—filled him with a sense of belonging.
"I'm not powerless," he said, a grin spreading across his face.
With the artifact clutched in his hand, Leo felt a connection to the elements around him. As if in response to his thoughts, the wind swirled around him, lifting him higher above the ground.
"I can help," he realized, understanding that his newfound power could aid those in need.
He embraced his strength, feeling the energy of the artifact merge with his own. As he soared above the city, he knew that his journey was just beginning.
"I may be different, but I have a place in this world," he declared, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
