User blog:DERPITrain16/Michael Vey Fanfiction: Mark Wright

Storyline
Hi, I'm Mark and I'm just a normal teenager. Wait a minute, you've probably heard a story begin like thatabout a million times before, but don't worry, if you are having a sense of deja vu, then you know how I'm constantly feeling. Let me explain why...

Mark goes to Harbor Springs School in Harbor Springs, Michigan. He doesn't have very many friends, but his best friend, the coolest person he's ever known, is named Tristan, who has down syndrome. Most people see Tristan's condition as a liability, but Mark thinks it's one of Tristan's best qualities. Tristan is easy to talk to, laughs at any jokes you make, isn't afraid of embarrassing himself, and always wants to make you smile. One of the common stereotypes of down syndrome is that they don't understand like normal people do, but Mark feels like no one understands him better than Tristan (and maybe his mom).

From the original Michael Vey series:

 * All surviving characters of Michael Vey after book seven with the same abilities (Michael's might change a little)

Tristan

 * Race: White
 * Gender: Male
 * Characteristics: Glow, age 17, buzzed brown hair, 5'9"; Freshman (because of his disability--he didn't start Kindergarten until he was 9) has down syndrome because his powers mess with his brain waves.
 * Abilities: Can see possible futures and can communicate to people through his mind.
 * Circumstance: His powers are slowly killing him, but he has found a way to transfer his powers before it's too late (he dies shortly after transferring)...

Mark Wright

 * Race: White
 * Gender: Male
 * Characteristics: Nonel, age 14, short red hair, is about 5'7"; Freshman, Tristan's best friend (unaware of his powers), is unathletic, but enjoys sports (he's a water boy for the football team), doesn't have very many friends, introverted, has a crush on Oakley Gunderson.
 * Abilities: Big thinker, really in touch with his feelings, but has depression. After getting powers from Tristan, he has an ability where his mind tells him to do or avoid something before it happens (similar to "Spidey-sense"). He also has dreams where he sees glimpses of the future, but it's not very clear.
 * Circumstance: He gains half of Tristan's abilities, but not sure what to do with them.

Oakley Gunderson

 * Race: Black
 * Gender: Female
 * Characteristics: Nonel, age 14, long, curly black hair, 5'4"; Freshman, a thespian (theater nerd), is semi-popular (but that's mainly because of her brother), extroverted, one of the nicest people in school.
 * Abilities: smart, outspoken, isn't afraid to say what she thinks, stands up for herself. After getting the other half of Tristan's powers, she has a major sense of deja vu, where she often feels like she's been in certain circumstances before, so she knows what to say and do to get a good outcome. She also has dreams like Mark.
 * Circumstance: Gets paired up with some kid named Mark to do a science project, although he's not just some kid, she's seen him before, and he's really nice and kind of cute. There, she meets Tristan and the transfer of powers happen there. Shortly after, Mark and Susan witness Tristan's passing.

Mark and Oakley's powers combined:
Since they are connected with their powers because of Tristan, when they touch, their powers become even stronger. This is first seen after an emotional opening up from Mark that eventually leads to a kiss. While kissing, they see electricity--literally. Not the good kind, though. It looks like a dangerous storm cloud is heading for their school!

They also have the ability to read each other's minds every time they touch, but they can't read anyone else's mind (They only have this connection because of Tristan, they don't have the same powers as Taylor).

Zara Hatch (The Storm Cloud)
Yes, that Zara, the one from The Final Spark. She's back and angrier then ever.
 * Race: (I can't remember what is says in the book, but I'm assuming she's white)
 * Gender: Female
 * Characteristics: Glow, age 17, missing half her hair, unknown height; her face is also very scared and she looks like a burn victim or Darth Vader without his helmet and mask on.
 * Abilities: Amber; she can absorb other glows' powers through touch. She has gained every electric kids powers except Grace, Tanner, and now Tristan (I'm pretty sure Michael touched her--uh oh).
 * Circumstance: following the events at Tuvalu, she is in critical condition and is nursed back to health by some of the natives, who inform her that Hatch was killed by Michael Vey. She then seeks out revenge on Michael for killing Hatch and damaging her. She also decides to take on the name of Hatch.

Clark "Superman" Kovino

 * Race/Ethnicity: mix of Samoan and Hispanic
 * Gender: Male
 * Characteristics: Nonel, age 16, longish, frizzy black hair, 6'4"; Junior, quarterback and captain of the varsity football team, super athletic and one of the strongest people Mark knows, nicknamed "Superman" because of his name and ability to throw the football "faster than a speeding bullet," popular and nice to everyone, not the smartest though.
 * Abilities: Athletic, strong, durable (can take a big hit)
 * Circumstance: Tries to save Mark when Zara attacks him by throwing a football at her face. She then zaps Clark who gains Lichtenburg scars from it, but loses a leg (from the knee down, he is now an amputee).

Thomas Gunderson

 * Race: Black
 * Gender: Male
 * Characteristics: Nonel, age 16, short, curly black hair, 5'11"; Oakley's brother, Junior, running back for the football team and best friend of Clark. Athletic and strong, but has a slight build and he relies on speed. Biggest bully to Mark Wright (he also has two cronies, but neither of them are Clark).
 * Abilities: Athletic, fast, and bigheaded. He thinks big of himself because he is really good--in certain situations.
 * Circumstance: Doesn't like Mark and hates him even more when he is paired up with his little sister in a science project. He's also the one to sadly inform Clark that the doctor's had to cut off his right leg due to electricity messing up his leg too much.

Ms. Miranda Anderson

 * Race: White
 * Gender: Female
 * Characteristics: Nonel, age 35, shortish, wavy blonde hair (think older Gwen Stacy from Spiderverse, minus the buzzed side), 5'5"; Single mother (to Mark), works at a restaurant, often has to do late shifts, very proud of who her son is.
 * Abilities: Caring, creative thinker, protective.
 * Circumstance: Divorced her abusive husband, Charles Wright, to protect her 3 year-old son. Unaware that Mark has gained powers. Was one of the only people there for Mark after Tristan's death and she really likes Oakley.

Greg Swanson

 * Race: White
 * Gender: Male
 * Characteristics: Nonel, age 40, spiky brown hair, 5'10"; Mark and Oakley's science teacher, shows interest in Mark's well-being and lets Mark know he can talk to him about anything. He also shows lots of interest in Miranda Anderson ;)
 * Abilities: Clever, understanding, crafty with words
 * Circumstance: He saw when Zara attacked Mark. He also seems to be wearing sunglasses a lot, especially indoors for some reason...

Subject 0013 "Myles"

 * Race/ethnicity: hispanic, Peruvian
 * Gender: Female
 * Characteristics: Glow, age 13, long, messy brown hair, 5'1"
 * Abilities: super speed from electricity enhancing muscle movement. Can also hit hard when going fast (I might include a part in the story where she spars with Jack and beats him up pretty good).
 * Circumstance: One of the "Forgotten" children who were experimented on in Peru and left behind. She doesn't have a name, but goes by "13" (or "Trece"). She escaped from the Peruvian Starxource plant before Michael came and is often rejected wherever she goes because of her glow (many people think she's a spirit or demon). When Mark meets her, he calls her Miles because of her speed (she then comes up with the spelling because y not).

Experiment: Phase

 * Race/ethnicity: hispanic, Peruvian
 * Gender: Male
 * Characteristics: Glow, age 10, long brown hair, 4'4";
 * Abilities: Able to phase through solid objects due to quickly moving molecules in his body from electricity.
 * Circumstance: Another "Forgotten," rescued by Tracy while she was escaping. Refers to Tracy as his "hermana." Only known name for him is "Phase" so that's what he goes by. Was taken from the lab too early, so his powers are a little unstable...

Short Answer:
Michael Vey

Long Answer:
After Clark is zapped by Zara and knocked unconscious, she turns to Mark and says, "Your turn." Mark ducks and closes his eyes, waiting for his demise, but after the bright flash, he opens his eyes to find out he is still alive. Standing right in front of him is a blonde guy, probably a couple years older than him who has scars shaped like lightning all over his arms. He had absorbed Zara's strike!

The lightning guy then tells Mark to get out of there, but Mark asks him, "What about Clark?" Lightning guy then calls out to someone named "Jack" to come and help. Jack, who has bigger muscles than Clark (which Mark didn't think was possible), picks up Clark in a fireman's carry then he takes him to a van where Mark meets two more teenagers named Taylor and Ostin. He feels like he has seen Taylor before...

After Jack takes Clark and Mark away, thus begins the epic battle between Michael Vey and Zara Hatch!
