Hellena Foundation

Flight.

That is what every human secretly (or not secretly) wants to do. We crave wings of any kind. We find fascination in birds soaring high above the tree-tops and wish desperately that we could be like them. That we, too, could fly with such ease and weightlessness. That we could touch the clouds and not be bothered to mind the affairs of the world. That we, like the birds, could go where we please when we please.

Yet we all know this is unattainable. We all know it will never in a hundred years happen.

But it can.

Only a short time ago, the first plane, the aeroplane, was invented. It held people above the ground and, though not as efficient as could be, it pushed us over the surface and sent us to new places. Humans invented spacecraft, soaring to new heights every time a trip is made. Science is rapidly advancing.

So what is to stop us from having real wings? Wings of our own? What is to stop us from turning humans into their own sort of bird?

Nothing but ourselves.

So the Hellena Foundation was set up. The foundation that will change the human race as we know it forever.

Teens are brought to the facility- a tiny island, dedicated to research and development, disguised as a school so that no one would get in the way of its science. The teens undergo scientific and medicinal tests to discover which type of super-human they would be best suited to.

Then they become super.

Every teen comes to the island a volunteer. There are no more than three hundred teens at a time. After each becomes something more, they are moved to another corner of the island, but still attend classes and keep a steady schedule. They try to blend with other teens, as well as others like themselves. Everything about their physique is the same, apart from two or three small differences.

The island has become populated with teens, morphs, hergs, and other creatures that defy definition yet are incredible and wonderful to behold. Each is amazing and different.

No two are the same.

Flight.

Some are granted this.

Only the chosen few retain it.
