“For years I was ridiculed for having the dumbest powers . In a world where people can buy and sell powers, being poor leaves you with limited options. Which is why I have such weird powers. However after years of gathering i think I’ve gotten a great combo.

The power I was born with is called “stench”. It’s weird but very useful. It allows me the power to generate any gas I want. When I was a kid it took years of practice to control. Resulting in me constantly stinking. All through school they called me “stink boy”. The bullying was so bad I had to move states.

The first power I bought for ten bucks was “reflection”. This power allows the user the ability to turn any solid surface into a mirror. I got this power from a teenage girl who only used it to do her makeup.

The next power I got was “ highlight ”. This allows the user the power to define and highlight an area. I bought this from a school teacher for a dollar. He was using it for grading. I had bigger plans though.

I bought “Super touch” from a porn star. Since it made the human body extremely sensitive to any vibration. What she didn’t know was that this ability allowed you to feel the vibrations in the air. Which in a fight , this power works as a danger sense. Meaning any attack , as long as it wasn’t telepathic, I’d feel it coming.

I had to save up for a year to purchase “Harden” from a blacksmith . That set me back for a while but it was worth it. “Harden” gave me the power to solidify a defined area into a solid form. He used this to speed up his processes significantly.

The most recent power I bought was called “hole “ it does exactly what it seems like . It creates a hole between to open areas. Plus I can open and close it. It’s only real use is that it lets me enter and exit unnoticed. I bought it from an exterminator. Apparently opening random holes is very useful for trapping rats.

While my powers are weird or useless by themselves. United they’ve turned me into the greatest assassin in the world. “Stench” while it makes me smell it does allow me the power to create ANY gas I want. This includes tear gas and laughing gas. By combining “highlight “ and “harden” I gained the power to create constructs out of shape I create with highlight. It turns out anything I use “Harden” on is nearly unbreakable. Apparently “harden” doesn’t just strengthen the connections between the atoms. It defies all logic how solid they are. When it’s combined with reflection it reflects energy based attacks. “

“So I’m , why are you telling me this?” Jason asked me. He looked at me with disbelief and confusion.

“Well Jason, I was hired to kill you.” I said with a smirk.

“hehe , y-you’re joking right ? How can your stupid powers hurt me.” Jason said looking around the office. There wasn’t any windows but outside were thirty different people.

“Well, over the course of our conversation I’ve been steadily filling this room with laughing gas. Did you know you can suffocate on laughing gas?” I chuckled , the gas was starting to take its effect. So I’d better leave soon.

“Hehe , Y-heh-you can’t be serious. Hahaha “ Jason said as he started laughing. His eyes were terrified as it sank in that he couldn’t escape. He quickly ran to the door in an attempt to escape. Unfortunately for Jason I’d created an invisible box around him. Which prevents me from being exposed. “Hahaha! Please let me HAHAHA , out . ILL PAY ANYTHING HAHAHA”

“See that’s the thing, I didn’t accept the pay for this job. I took this job simply because I hate you. “ my face contorted into a sneer. “I still remember the disgusting ways you would bully me in school. You followed me from kindergarten to my sophomore year of highschool. YOU ALONE ARE THE REASON I MOVED SCHOOLS “

The fear in Jason’s eyes as gratifying. “ B-But that was HAHAH thirteen years ago! “Jason said as he squirmed and struggled punching everywhere in an attempt to shatter the invisible box. I’d used highlight and harden to solidify the air into a box. Even with Jason’s super strength , the box was holding.

“Yes , it was years ago. And now .” I leaned back in against the wall with a smirk.” I’m going to watch as you suffocate within that air tight box”

Tears welled up in Jason’s eyes. There clearly was no way he would escape . His laughter grew louder and louder. The sound was slightly muffled by the box so the people outside just simply though he was laughing at a good joke. “HAHA YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Jason said as he fell to the ground. His the laughter slowly died down as he suffocated .

“Oh please, I used reflection on my body and it defected the light around me so no one saw me enter your office. And I’ve already got my escape route planned .” I tapped the wall I was leaning on creating a hole to the outside . At the same time I created an invisible staircase from his office to the ground. It was the middle of the day so again I used reflection. I walked up to the invisible box I placed around Jason. He had a few seconds left before he passed out. “Now , I’ve completed a life goal, I’m the last thing you see as you die”

Jason’s eyes widened as he laughed and laughed. Until he didn’t laugh anymore . And then there was silence.
