Part I: The Winged Girl

The world has changed drastically since the discovery of a genetic anomaly known as White Wing Fever, those infected with it grow wings out of their backs and develop superhuman strength, the ability to fly. Twenty year-old Himari Morishima is one such a person, the US Government has classified Himari and others like her as "Abnormal" or "Diseased" and have drawn up Anti-Abnormal Statute 1831, which discriminates against Abnormals and keeps them from getting any kind of federal assistance or health insurance. The only place this law is not in effect is New York City and New York State. Though Abnormals are still treated badly here.

Himari has just finished shopping and is on her way home when she is approached by a group of seven people, four women and three men,all of them were dressed in black and armed with various melee weapons. Not wanting to hurt the Humans, Himari flew away from the encroaching group.

"Where you going, you freak!?" one of men yells as he picks up a rock and throws it at Himari, the rock strikes Himari in the back of her head, causing her to drop her groceries and fall to the ground.

"That's right, grovel in the dirt like the trash you are!" a woman screams before spitting in Himari's face. Suddenly a woman's horrified scream grabbed everyone's attention.

The group looked at Himari before running off, Himari slowly gets to her feet as a blonde woman runs up to her.

"I need help, please. Someone has stolen my car and-."

"Sorry, can't help you." Himari says flatly before preparing to fly off.

"M-my little girl is in the car." the blonde woman said with tears in her eyes.

For some reason the look the Human woman was giving her was touching Himari, she would probably regret helping this woman out, but she decided to do just that.

"I'll help you, where are they?" Himari asked.

The man who stole the woman's SUV with her daughter inside rounded a curve at break-neck speed, the little toddler is crying for her Mommy.

Himari quickly catches up to the SUV, she flies ahead of the vehicle and stops it dead in its tracks. The man grabs the child and hops out, facing Himari.

"Let me go or I swear I will kill her!" he shouts.
