The following messages are bewteen Paul and an HIA gaurd. This messag can only be accessed by scientists, the hero in question, and high ranking staff of the Hero Intelligence Agency.
Guard: "Good morning can you please state your name."
Paul: "Paul Grayson"
Guard: "Thank you, now can you tell me what your powers are?"
Paul: "I can bend reality through writing. The catch or weakness or trade off is that I have to be very detailed and I have bad writer's block."
Guard: "Can you clarify what that means?"
Paul: "Sure can you hand me pen and paper please?"
*Guard stands up and walks away, opens a door and closes. Sometime later he comes back and places paper and pen on the table. The pen is clicked.*
Paul: "Is there something you want me to change?"
Guard: "Think you can make me more abs, a goth chick, and a million dollars."
Paul: "I.....can do that....it just will take a while."
*Writing starts then stops*
Paul: "How many abs do you want?"
Guard: "8 pack?"
*Writing continues *
Paul: "For the goth girl, what uh, characeristics do you want her to have?"
Guard: "Hot, big... you know. Um...just slightly shorter than me. Also give her big thighs, and make her a cinnomon roll that could kill me type."
Paul: "Ok, sure. I can. I can do that."
*Writing continues*
Paul: "For the million dollars how do you want that?"
Guard: "I don't know...um....how about.....jeez....uh....lottery?"
Paul: "Ok, and with that, your requests will be fulfilled in three. two. one."
*Sounds like wind, static, and other magic sounds drown out Paul and the Guard.*
Guard: "Wow, she's hot. "
Goth Girl: "Where am I, and why do I have a lottery ticket?"
Guard: "Paul didn't you say that the catch was that you had to be describtive and struggle with writer's block."
Paul: "Yep, but since you gave me details I was able to pull this off without incident. Had you failed, things...would've gotten weirder."
Goth Girl: "Hello. Can someone tell me what's going please?"
Guard: "This man has a power that we're testing and it worked, so if you don't mind you can wait out the door. I'll direct you to the exit once I'm done here."
*Footsteps are heard, a door opens then closes.*
Guard: "I owe you big time. Now before that you said that had I not given imput, things would've gotten weird what do you mean by that?"
Paul: "Well...for example I wrote "the man in front me shall have 8 pack abs on his torso." had I just said 8-pack, beer would've been summoned, or 8 traveling packs. I also had to be specific with the location because if I dont' then it would have appeared in a random location within this room."
Guard: "And the same goes for the girl and the ticket."
Paul: "Well for people I have to be even more specific because if I had just said goth girl it could've been a living person, dead person, a figurine, a body pillow, anything that could fit that describtion, so the more detailed, the more likily it is to be more accurrate to what you want. Now for the million dollars with the ticket. I had to speficy what lottery it's from and an exact amount too. However it could be a fake so..."
Guard: Hmm, interesting. So you basically need to add as many filters to the thng you're writing about in order to be accurrate with what you want. Kind of like a genie type deal. Hmm. Now tell me when did you discover your powers?"
Paul: "I used to hate writing, becuase I liked movies more. I find them more enganging. Anyways one day I was watching a series and started to get some ideas for a story set within that world and so I decidied I would write it. The next thing I know I started hearing people talk about rumors surrounding the story online, and it was my story. So I wrote a follow up and the next thing I know it can true. But the problem is that I have so many ideas that I can't always take them and put them into words, and that has led to some problems which made my favorite show suffer. I"m also an amatuer writer to begin with so that didn't help things at all."
Guard: "So you wrote a fanfiction, which became canon and it made the show worse?"
Paul: "To summerize, yes."
Guard: "So why haven't you used this power to get a ton of money and stuff?"
Paul: "Well here's the other catch of ability is that I can't control people. I can't force them to do things that they're not comfortable with. At least not yet."
Guard: "I'm guessing you have tried that before?"
Paul: "Sadly yes. I wanted a girl to like me, but when I tried to write it didn't work. I did everything right, and it seems that I can only control the phycial reality regarding a person, but I can't change your mindset, goals, ambitions, or personaility."
Guard: "Does this mean you can't create people, like that goth girl?"
Paul: "I can only summon them, I can't create them out of thin air. In fact I can't write something into existance I can only teleport them through my writing, or at least I think that's what I do. I still need to do more tests."
Guard: "Is that why you want to join the HIA?"
Paul: "No, I want to help make the world a better place, and with my writings I can do just that."
Guard: "So do you have a hero name?"
Paul: "Writer, Storyteller, something like that."
Guard: "We're going to have to work on that. Anyway does your family know about your power and do they have any powers?"
Paul: "My parents and sister don't know but my brother, girlfriend, and best friend do. As for if they have powers I don't know. They never showed anything...strange. I do have a grandfather who might have a power but I don't know for certain."
Guard: "Do you know anyone who has similer powers?"
Paul: "I've heard rumors of writers brining thier creations to life just by writing them into existance but I doubt half those tales are true. As for the other half...I don't know."
Guard: "Ok, so I can safely assuem you want to push your powers further?"
Paul: "I would like to get better with them, as well as know what else I can with them. I know that I am just barely scraping the surface of my power and I need to know the true limits of it."
Guard: " Well thank you for coming and we will see if you are qualified to join us. We will contact you when we make our decision. Thank you."
Paul: "Thank you for the opportunity."

Thank you so much. I try to be as unique as possible, so glad it worked. I also have 2 other stories that have a similer structure to this one if you want more.
