What a person needs and what a person wants are different things. A lazy person may just want to lay around all day, but what that person really needs is some exercise. A kid may want a candy bar, but what that kid really needs is some healthy foods. A certain radiation scientist may want everything to go back to what was normal, but what that scientist may most desperately need is to change. There was a time when I wanted something so badly, so very badly, I almost lost everything else. I wanted something but needed something else. My daughter and my best friend needed something, or someone else.
This is a story of sadness and change, of want, and need, and of a very, very, unbelievably stupid and selfish man. A man who thought he was actually thinking about someone else but was really only thinking about himself.
My name is Gabriel 'Gabe' Hill. There was once a time in my life when I was just a simple scientist studying the effects of radiation. I was married to a beautiful wife, had the most adorable daughter in the world, and thought life could not get any better. Now, however, I am a knight guarding my princess. A knight in iron armor with a very special power. One that I never thought was possible.
