In 2108, at the same site, a nuclear plant was set up once again. Like its ill-fated predecessor, this plant also met its end in a disastrous explosion. The event rocked the world.
Some people died immediately, while others were left to suffer a worse fate and were killed slowly by the radiation. Even people from as far as America were contaminated.
But every cloud has a silver lining, as the old saying went. Not long after the disaster, teenagers around the world began displaying unusual abilities. Super powers, they could be called, for they certainly seemed to be so. Scientists related this to a certain series of genetic mutations caused by the nuclear contamination. Governments began a scramble to discover and recruit 'gifted' people.
In 2120, the world was in complete chaos. Scientists attempted to recreate the genetic mutations through cloning, but failed miserably. This made the demand for 'gifted' humans even larger.
But with demand came the availability. 'Gifts' were rare. Being a 'gifted' person was invariably a taboo in any country, so 'gifted' people were usually hushed up with the help of the local officials.
Being a 'gifted' person had a catch other than being carted off to a government faculty, though; having the genetic mutations meant that the 'gifted' person was bestowed with an early death sentence.

There have been huge leaps in medicine and technology, including the cure to many types of cancer and AIDS, and the development of non-lethal laser weapons. Transportation has become more efficient; vehicles, whether cars, boats, or private jets and jet-packs, run on nitrogen or controlled antimatter annihilations. Nuclear energy was banned after the second Chernobyl accident.

'Gifts' show themselves at ages twelve to fifteen, during which change may develop. Children take a screening test during those years to determine whether children were 'gifted' or not. 'Gifted' symptoms include: headaches, fevers, changing hair/eye color, a sudden rise in intelligence, psychological problems such as depression, bipolar mood disorder, SAD, and etcetera, extreme growth spurts or no growth spurt at all and development of the 'gifts'.
By ages twenty to twenty-five, the 'gifts' may peak before slowly moving into decline. By twenty-five to twenty-seven, 'gifts' may become unwieldy and the 'gifted' person may well be killed at this stage as his/her white blood cell count may plummet, some of the explosive 'gifts' may kill the person, and the 'gifted' person may become comatose. Most governments dispose of this age group as they are mostly useless.
After ages twenty-five to thirty, the person may develop internal bleeding, tumors, extreme headaches, low immunity, and/or becomes comatose.
Around thirty to thirty-five years of age, 'gifted' people die of one of the many ailments listed above. The longest lived 'gifted' person is Herbert Bach, at forty-two years old. He still lives at one of the many camps for 'gifted' around the USA.
'Gifts' are varied. They can range from telekinesis and mind control to forming invisible force fields and super strength. However, magic (Harry Potter-esque or otherwise) DOES NOT EXIST.

Things went pretty well until several years ago, when the twelve to fifteen age groups were kidnapped from a US camp. President James Foxx pointed his finger at China, whose 'gifted' population was declining. China declined the accusation. Chaos erupted as more 'gifted' people were kidnapped from other countries. The kidnapped were usually twelve to fifteen years old, mostly untrained in the use of their powers.

His parents realised they had to keep him a secret from society when Blaine, only ten years old, cracked their room's wall by accidentally bumping on it. He was home tutored from that day on, but then, even home tutoring gave way and Blaine taught himself by whatever books his parents got him. At the age of twelve he learned what he was capable of and how different he was from different people. Being immature, he blackmailed his parents that he would confess to the public if they don't get him what he wants. However, at the age of thirteen, he matured and stopped the blackmail. His parents, knowing Blaine's curiosity, hadn't told Blaine that there were others of his kind, in fear that he would leave them in search of the others. Blaine has never been to his friends' house and was discouraged from friendship. At the age of 14, he was entirely shut down in his apartment, not even going out for fresh air. Upon reaching the age of 15, Blaine escaped his parent's 'torment' and lived in a small rented apartment. He soon learned that his tenant was the leader of an organisation, planning to rebel against the ordinary people from the persecution the 'gifted' people had received. From that day, Blaine had learned that there were more of his kind and didn't feel so lonely any more. In a matter of months, he became Hikari's top men, although only 15.
