I was discharged from the hospital a month later with a cast around my shoulder and a clear warning to not engage in any kind of physical activity. The doctor infact recommended that I visit a remote village area where the peace and quiet would assist in the healing process since it would keep me calm. Luckily, I managed to find a good lodge about a 100 miles from the city deep in the woods which was just 10 minutes away from a small village where I could get supplies. I was not planning on cooking and coincidentally the guy who was leasing the lodge said that he could arrange for a person in the nearby village to deliver my breakfast, lunch and dinner; for an additional fee ofcourse. Since the offer was pretty tempting I decided to go with it. The main reason behind choosing the lodge in the woods was because I was very eager to gain mastery over my powers which allowed me to create and manipulate gravitational fields.
I know what you must be thinking: Woah Woah Woah! Time out! Fields what now?
Calm down..... let me rewind a little bit and clarify.
During my month in the hospital, I decided to do a bit of reading and asked Diana to get me a couple of books on physics. Coincidentally, Diana's late husband was a theoretical physicist and had a pile of books lying around, straight from 10th grade physics to unholy advanced quantum mechanics. I was a computer science major and thus requested the easy ones first. That was when I noticed something strange about myself. For some reason I was able to understand everything I read without even having to think. I mean, I had always been good at Math but never good enough to be able to understand equations just at first glance. Also, every time I understood a concept I was also able to hypothesize certain concepts related to it. My brain was able to acquire, organize and store information at an unbelievable rate. Why and how these things happened, I did not think about it too much since the only thing in my mind at that moment was: Can we do any better?
After the first 3 days during which I managed to finish 2 fairly simple books I figured out that, just by momentarily looking at a page, its content was automatically extracted, registered and stored in my brain. Since I could move pages faster with my powers, which I had then dubbed as the "FORCE", I would simply have the book hover above me and move the pages sufficiently fast enough so that I could acquire information at a very high rate. The 3rd book I read, which had about 200 pages of content, took me 1 hour to go through. Although I had a substantial amount of knowledge about friction, newtonian motion and kinematics I did end up having an intense headache which lasted for 10 minutes. I attributed that to the fact that my brain had to overdo it. Abilities are simply muscles and 2 days later I was able to read the same book in less than a minute but barely feel any headache.
Diana, was happy to get me all her husband's books and never questioned me when I asked for more and more books every week. After all, no one can read a 1000 page book in a week right? Right? Wrong! I was somehow an exception. Long story short, I was an expert on theoretical physics a month later and figured out what exactly it was that I could do with my "powers".
I had control over gravity! I could create and manipulate gravitational fields! Knowledge facilitates creativity and with the knowledge I had acquired over that month I spent recuperating I knew what it was that I could accomplish; theoretically ofcourse. And thats why I chose the lodge which had a nice field next to it. A field in which I could practice my fields. Let the games begin!
