Description:

All Steve knows is that he was in an accident when he was ten that resulted in total amnesia--at least, that's what he's been told. In reality, Steve was one of the numbers, abandoned when Brenner deemed his powers too unstable to work with. With the help of the kids, El is able to unlock Steve's hidden abilities.

Things are hard for Steve as he adapts to his new, constant powers. He struggles to overcome the phycological toll that all lies he's been told over the past nine years. He and the kids also struggle to figure out his powers, as they have a different, more destructive flavor than El's.

Steve's parents make matters worse when they bring a figure from his past life back into his world. Will Steve play into their hands and become the weapon he was always meant to be? What friends will he make along the way? Will the buzzing ever stop?
Read to find out :p

**marked as complete because the story is done, but I might add a unimportant prequel one-shot later

Notes:

A lot of unnecessary math and research went into this fic. If you really wanted to, you could pull up a 1985 calendar and see how things line up, but I don't expect you to be as lame and nerdy as me lol

I really love thinking about the possibilities of Steve's powers via the scientific differences between him and El. Tell me your headcannons in the comments :))
