Jacob was growing tired of his current life. He sat in his office silently listening to his old professor droning on about his abilities and how he could apply them in the field of science. He tuned in as the professor was throwing out what he could do now.

“Imagine it Jacob, you can do so many experiments with substances we would never touch or even try to test. You are unkillable, something that us mortal men constantly worry about. I would give anything to be in your position. Alas I am an old fart now I’m can only watch in awe at what you’ll accomplish in the future.” As the professor reminisced about what he could do with Jacob's abilities Jacob looked at the coffee his professor had made him.

[color=32cd32]”Listen Anthony, I appreciate all you’ve done for me but this.”[/color] Jacob held up the coffee. [color=32cd32]I can’t drink this, I don’t need to sleep, I never get hungry and can’t eat anything. I can’t even take a shit for christ sake and the chance of me having children has gone up in flames.”[/color]

Anthony nodded silently. “I understand your pain fri-”

Jacob slammed his hand down on his desk making the contents of his pen pot spill onto the table and the coffee to topple over. [color=32cd32]NO! You don’t understand anything. Anthony I need to leave the university. There’s just. There’s just too many bad memories here.” [/color]

Anthony was taken aback at Jacob’s outburst. Jacob had always been calm and collected but ever since his accident he had changed not just in body but in mind too. “Alright. I can get your transfer sorted. In fact I was going to ask you this anyway.” Anthony reached down and pulled some papers out of his briefcase placing them on the desk away from the pool of coffee.

Jacob looked at the papers, they detailed his transfer from the university in New york to the university in Lost Haven. Jacob had heard things about Lost Haven about the sudden outbreak of meta humans orchestrated by some mad scientist. Jacob cleared the spilled coffee away from the desk by absorbing the liquid with his hand and rifled through the papers looking at them more thoroughly. Anthony looked at him sheepishly as he went through the papers. 

“What do you think then Jacob? I hope it’s not to much of a change?”

Jacob pulled a pen off his desk and signed his name handing the papers back with a grin on his face. [color=32cd32]”Dude thanks. This is just what i needed. I would pack my things but I don’t really need much to survive. Except maybe money.”[/color] Anthony took the papers back and stashed them back in his briefcase. Shaking Jacob’s hand for the last time 


[u]Two Weeks Later[/u]


Jacob had been preparing for moving university and as a result he hadn’t had any time to do anything related to his hero alter ego Hydro. Jacob felt that he was letting the people down in New York but there was other heroes that would take up the hole he would leave in the city. As he packed his bag he realised that he didn’t own or really need anything he was packing. Clothes were useless on his body any kind of sudden movement would cause his body to ripple and make his clothes wet. Thankfully he could change the colour of his body so he could at least live a normal life. 

Closing the bag he took a last look around his apartment, it wasn’t anything special but it had been home to him for so long. Turning to the door he left his apartment and hailed a taxi to the airport. Lost Haven here he comes! Normally he wouldn’t have been able to take an airplane however Anthony’s research had born fruit. While he had only made one of them Anthony was confident that the pill he had created would allow Jacob to keep his form while he traveled on the airplane. There were some side effects to the pill but Anthony said they probably wouldn’t cause Jacob any lasting effects. However he was never one for patience. Popping the pill in his mouth he got in the taxi and was on the airplane to Lost Haven.

He arrived at Lost Haven just as the sun was setting and man did he feel terrible. The pills side effects were hitting him hard. Headaches, vomiting water and his body drooping at the worst possible time. As he exited the airport he got in the cab that would take him to his new apartment in the middle class area of Lost Haven. After all Jacob wasn’t the richest person. The taxi arrived at his apartment, the light of the sun was slowly disappearing beyond the cities skyline making the streets glow ominously. 

Jacob was uneasy this city didn’t feel right. Shaking the feeling from his mind he entered the door through the lobby he climbed the stairs to his room. He would take the elevator but puking up more of his body wasn’t on his agenda for today. Letting himself into his apartment he surveyed his new living quarters. It wasn’t much but it was his new home and he was sure that after a while it would grow on him. He would start his first day at the university tomorrow, his old professor said he would be in touch and that he might meet some interesting people at the university in Lost Haven.
