Description

She's gifted, hated, and hunted by a pyrokinetic. Rebecca has a few more problems than the average teen.

Rebecca has powers. Telekinesis to be exact.

You'd think it would be a dream come true, but all it has brought her is fear and worry. It's not really her fault–a lot of people with powers haven't exactly used them for good.

But she would… if people just gave her a chance. The problem is, even her father–the city's mayor–is against them, and she knows how he would react.

Any hesitancy goes out the window when Rebecca and her brother are caught in the crossfire during a late-night C-store robbery and she instinctively unleashes her abilities to stop a bullet mid-air.

Exposed by the gas station's security video, she flees with her family to safety only to find that a superhuman stalker is on their trail, determined to purge the world of anyone else with powers like his.

With her back against the wall, Rebecca is going to have to make a choice. Keep hiding, or come into her own and be the hero her city needs?

If you like the coming of age themes in Heroes and the family acceptance and heroic struggles in Smallville, then you're going to love Gifted Awakening.
