Recovery of Power

Proxobytes: Biological enhancements produced by Novaworks, used
to alter human DNA. After completing High School, Proxobytes can
be purchased and customized to virtually any specifications,
allowing a normal human to attain super abilities. The stronger
the ability, the higher the price.
Proxobytes have added to a distinct separation between classes.
The lower class typically can't afford Proxobytes, and adults
without abilities are seen as lesser than, and treated as such
by the superpowered upper class.
Bryant Steele was a member of this struggling Lower Class. At
the age of 25, he was still without the enhancements of
Proxobytes. Statistically, that meant it was unlikely he would
ever receive them. And he was fine with that; until his mother
fell ill. Without a cure for her illness, the only chance for
her survival.
In order to save his mother's life, he broke into a Novaworks
Lab, hoping to steal a common Proxobyte used give it's recipient
quick recovery and ability to heal from most illnesses quickly.
He located the stock of premade Bytes and took the one that he
needed. But before he could escape, he was captured by security!
He sat in holding, assuming that the Police were coming to
apprehend him. But he was instead greeted by a man in a suit who
made him an offer. After hearing the story, the man offered to
arrange for the Byte to be given to his mother, in exchange for
assistance with Protobyte research. Bryant quickly agreed, it
being a way to help his mother AND keep him out of jail.
But the "Assistance" Bryant agreed to was worse than any jail
sentence he could have been given. For weeks, he was locked away
in a secured lab and experimented on over and over! He was
injected with inactive Proxobyte, and then observed for endless
hours at a time for changes to his DNA. Each injection was like
hours of torture and they didn't appear to have any intention of
releasing him!
But one day Bryant discovered something. Though his DNA showed
no signs of being affected by the experimentation,(This is
important) but he had actually acquired a power! And a powerful
one at that! He had gained the ability to steal powers from
other Proxobyte affected people! After managing a snatch three
from different lab technicians, he made his escape!
Bryant rushed home to find his phone riddled with messages! His
mother had passed during his captivity! Novaworks hadn't even
followed through with their end of the deal! Now it was war!
