"What?" Phil was thoroughly confused. He didn't think anything could get more strange in his little town.
"We've also been watching you two for a while, seeing you're the two people closest to Dan." Madeline pointed out.
"What do you mean kidnapped? Why have you been "keeping an eye on us?" What the hell is going on?" Phil sputtered, feeling like he needed to lay down.
"Dan is... special, I'm afraid. Strange things happen when he gets... worked up per se. We've discovered he has powers of some sort." She shrugged like this was normal. "These two were assigned as Dan's guardians, but they didn't think Dan was a concern to any... competition so they let him get kidnapped. I'm certain it was the people behind UPA."
"UPA? Powers? Dan?" Mrs. Howell decided to speak up. "My son does not have any "abilities." I would have known, Phil would have known, we've never experienced anything unusual with Dan."
"Dan didn't even know he had powered as far as we know. They aren't extravagant. But our list for Dan is quite large. He can change the emotions of someone at a touch. It's not a complete emotional 180, it's subtle. He can also feel other's emotions by looking at someone. Even though a picture if he has a connection to that person." Madeline stopped, glancing at the both of them back and forth. "And that's not including the minor ability starting to develop. His emotions can grow things. Let's say he's upset, if he touches a dead plant, it will come back to life, although slowly. If he's happy and he touches a patch of grass, flowers will grow at a normal speed flower grow. It's almost undetectable."
"What is UPA?" Phil asked. It didn't matter whether Dan had powers or not. All that mattered was getting Dan home. "And where are they? Can you get him back?"
"UPA is a top-secret organization called Understanding of People with Abilities. They capture those like Dan and conduct experiments and push the limits of those with powers to death. We've lost a lot of those under protection to UPA. That's why I think they captured Dan, especially now that his minor power is developing into something more. They too noticed that these things were no longer happening over a period of time. It had gotten to an overnight point, and through things."

"Hello, Daniel." A voice startled him out of the sleep he was in. "I'm happy I can finally talk to you."
"Dan, what if we pile rocks up in the middle?"
"We'll hurt ourselves when we fall through."
The black-haired boy in the picture, he still didn't know his name, but the brown-haired one was Dan.
"Where am I?" His voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard. Neglected and dry, in great need of watering.
"A room silly. Any more questions?" The voice responded.
"Who is that boy in the photo?"
"I... I don't know. The doctors said you wouldn't let go of it, so they let you keep it in there."
"Can I get out of this room?"
"Now that's a good question! If you want to get out, get out."
"But I can't. There is no way out?" Panic started to crawl through Dan's veins as he threw his head back and forth, frantically searching for anything again. In this fit, he spotted cameras in all four corners of the room.
"There is a garden right below you." The voice spoke as if Dan knew what to do with that.
"What... what am I supposed to do with that?" Dan's voice cracked, giving in to the feeling of dread settling in the pit of his stomach.
"I think you know, Dan." The rustling of papers was heard. "I guess you don't want to get out..." There was a long pause before the electric sizzle of the speaker turning off reached Dan's ears and panic truly set in.
"Please... please get me out. I don't know what I did, please let me out!" Dan cried. He felt the tears washing away the dust and grime on his cheeks as they trailed down and off his chin.
As soon as the tears splashed down something happened. The concrete cracked, and the rift didn't stop spreading until a small hole had formed. A small, shaking vine crawled out, sprouting a leaf right before his eyes.
"Good job, Dan."
