She woke up in the hours that lay between night and morning. Everything was clammy from the wetness and small drops of water had formed on the fabric of her blanket.
The mutee was still asleep. She still could not believe that they had been able to catch the Flamanderia so easily.

Glow wasn't sure what exactly had happened, but it had to have something to do with her eyes or her aura. She wasn't always called Glow. Her name was Gloria and she could still remember her mother's affectionate emphasis.
She remembered the time when her brother still accompanied her to explore and understand the new world. Gabriel had drifted away from her in recent years and she blamed her mutation. Gabriel had always been the tougher of the two and had often helped her out of dicey situations. But after the breakthrough of her mutation, that had changed. Her eyes really shone and in the darkness she had to wear dark glasses to not be seen for miles. This glow gave her unrestricted vision at night. In addition, she was almost inexhaustible. Sometimes this was even scary for her.
Maybe that's why she had volunteered for the task force. To find herself. To bring herself into harmony with her abilities. To go from Glow to Gloria again? She was torn up inside.

Then the hunt brought her to other thoughts and the Flamanderia had proven to be a tough opponent. But when it was confronted and had hardly a chance to escape, something very strange had happened. As she had fixed it with her eyes to make sure that it could not escape, it seemed to relax. The defensive posture hardly seemed aggressive anymore and she could approach it up to two arm lengths. The large fireproof container, perfectly placed by the team beforehand, readily accepted the Flamanderia and except for occasional hissing sounds, there was no resistance. Even as Glow stood at the entrance to the container, the Flamanderia seemed more interested than hostile.
After the container was stowed, there was little talk in the fighter squad. Some of the fighters had also mutated and had abilities or enhanced physical features, but they hadn't experienced anything like that before.
Glow had tracked mutees for fun at the very beginning, when she was aware of her abilities, and started studying their behavior. This was almost like her childhood wish - because she wanted to become a veterinarian at that time. Her brother wanted to become a track and field athlete, but then everything turned out differently. Dreams were shattered and the world was a different place.
Today she was the leader of the Muteeriums! The troop, which was used to learn everything about the Mutees, which hunted particularly aggressive ones to bring them down and special Mutees that they even tried to tame. The job was interesting.
She had to laugh briefly, because she had never thought to have such a job. Forest came to her briefly, who did not bear his name for nothing. His skin had turned forest green and his skin was tough like leather. Actually, his name was Henry, but no one called him that anymore. Just as she was now Glow! After they did start a warming fire the sat down and Forest began to speak: "So what now boss? What do we do now with the Flamanderia? That one is pretty strange!"
