The Origin — Wilette Youkey

He may have super powers, but his is no hero's story... For someone who has no idea how he acquired his special abilities, all Daniel Johnson wants is to live a simple, emotionally detached life. He has a quiet day job, a solo night job and no social life to speak of, and that's just the way he likes it. That is until Olivia King, a woman from a past he'd rather leave behind, talks her way back into his life and he discovers that he is neither strong nor fast enough to fight off the attraction. Just as he finally accepts that she could be a permanent fixture in his life, Olivia disappears and he upends New York City to try and save the day. But when being honorable doesn't get him results, Daniel yields to the dark pull of his powers, committing unspeakable acts in order to rescue the only person he's trusted with his secrets. And just when his life could not possibly get more complicated, a psychic delivers some damning news that will pit his own happiness against the safety of those around him. Daniel has never considered himself a hero, but in the end, as he looks at the blood on his hands, he wonders if he isn't the villain of the story after all.
