## Synopsis

Two sisters by the name of Sydney Reese and Samantha Reese are born with extraordinary abilities, Sydney having the ability to turn her body into rocks, along side superhuman strength, which Samantha possessed enhanced human abilities exceeding her sisters. Sydney and Samantha both join an organization called Department of Superhuman Containment "DOSC" and quickly become known around the company. Samantha became head of the military district, training new soldiers and helping people learn and use their Metahuman abilities. Sydney, doubled as a scientist and the leaders of a team called Phoenix. The team consisted of 7 members, including herself. As a scientist, her job was to recreate and effects of the Titan Bomb in the substance of a serum, allowing DOSC to create their own Metahumans. The serum was under the name of the Goliath Serum. Another scientist on her team by the name of Michael Cray wanted to test it for himself. Michael waited for everyone to leave and took one of the serums, though it was still in the testing phase. At his home, he attempted to use it to gain abilities. The results were successful, but the serum burned and melted his skin and flesh. Miraculously surviving, he blamed the other scientists for his situation because they couldn't create a better more stable version of the Goliath Serum, and began hunting them down with his new abilities. His new abilities allowed him to induce the emotions of others and drive them insane. He started with Sydney, who was staying after hours the day he began hunting. He successfully used his abilities on her, causing her to slowly lose her mind. Sydney was able to call for help and keep herself stable long enough for her team to show up and have Michael arrested. For the next few days Sydney seemed fine. She was slightly more aggressive and short tempered which caught the attention of Thomas Hathaway, a member of her team. He began checking on her and having daily therapeutic sessions with her, due to being worried about her health. At Sydney's house one night, she snapped suddenly and broke into DOSC's prison and searched for Michael. She found him and what she did was monstrous. She brutally murdered Michael and ate part of his corpse. Michael died with a smile on his face, knowing he was successful with at least one scientist. Sydney began showing more symptoms of insanity, and began being more aggressive on her missions with the team. Her actions caused a verbal outburst between her and her team, before being settled by Thomas. The rest of the team reported the problem to DOSC's higher ups, allowing Sydney to be properly monitored for the safety of her team. Thomas continued consulting Sydney and helping her with her condition caused by Michael. The team had more constant verbal outbursts, which caused Sydney to start losing more self control and becoming more of a cannibal than before. She would constantly break into morgues and eat parts of corpses to satisfy herself. One mission, the person they were after split up the team because he wanted to have him and Sydney alone. His goals were to kill the leader of Phoenix escape by making Sydney lower her guard due to anger. He had not known about her condition and Sydney ripped him apart and began to eat him. The rest of her team found her with his dead body, completely shocked at the sight before them. At this point Sydney had completely lost herself. They tried to execute Sydney, but almost all were ripped apart. Sydney stopped at Thomas, who had also been the only one that didn't attack her at the scene. She broke down in front of him and Thomas tried to help her, but Samantha, going by the name Patriot, showed up alongside soldiers to execute Sydney. Thomas held them back and Samantha began fighting Sydney. Samantha knew that she couldn't fight her sister for long, so she ordered they freeze the two to death together. She held Sydney down and the two were then frozen. DOSC later separated the two into pods and put Sydney's in the prison, while Samantha's was kept somewhere safe.
