[ WP ] At birth , you were given the power to give anyone a slight headache that wo n't go away for 3 hours . Now , you 've just been announced America 's Most Wanted .

`` Hey, Shelly?'' 
 
 `` Um... yeah?'' 
 
 This was the first time I used my power. We were in 5th grade, and I held her hand at recess. 
 
 *anticipation, math test* 
 
 `` N-nothing,'' 
 
 I really thought she was nervous because of me. Well, that was n't going to be the last time I felt disappointment like that. 
 
 I have a strange ability, one that I barely know myself. When I touch a person, I read their emotions and thoughts. I thought Shelly might have *lovestruck, Tommy* as her thoughts, but it turns out she was just worried about the math test later that day. 
 
 `` See ya,'' Shelly said, pressing her hand against her head. 
 
 This is a slight side-effect of my ability. After using, the subject gets a headache. The bigger the information I pulled, the bigger the headache. 
 
 Well, that's enough for the introduction. Now, onto my current predicament. 
 
 `` On the right side, Thomas'The Tormentor'!'' The announcer's voice floods the stadium, and I walk into the ring. Fans cheer for me from all around. 
 
 `` And now, on the left side, Frank'The Tank'!'' On the opposite side of the ring, a monster of a man walks up. He's easily over six foot tall, close to seven foot, and nearing three hundred pounds of muscle. I do my best to bulk for these matches, but I'd be lucky to reach two hundred pounds. 
 
 `` I'm goin' to crush your skull!'' Frank taunts. He's trying to scare me, like many people before him. At the sounds of his taunts, the crowd cheers. There does n't seem to be any dedicated seating, so fans for each side are mixed between each other. 
 
 `` Match begins on the ding!'' The referee says and backs away from the center of the ring. In his hand, he has a button. 
 
 *DING* 
 
 Alright, that's go. 
 
 Like any large animal hunting its prey, Frank stays back before attacking. He's biding his time before striking a fatal blow. We both know that a good first punch can end a match. 
 
 We both circle the ring, not taking our eyes off each other. 
 
 Frank jumps back, onto the ropes, and slingshots himself at me. I manage to put my hand on him as I dodge. 
 
 *take it slow* 
 
 He's in it for a long game. Ha, that's what I'm best at. I did n't use much power on him, so the headache seems to be barely noticeable. I'll just need to put more strength into the next information pull. 
 
 I go to make the same move as Frank. However, as I fly through the center of the ring, Frank stops me. 
 
 *slam* 
 
 He wants to slam me on the floor, but I'm too agile for that. When Frank reaches out his arm, I duck under it and keep going into the ropes on the other side of the ring. With those ropes, I catapult myself back at Frank. 
 
 *excitement, hold down* 
 
 Frank did n't go for anything flashy this time, and instead blocked me with his whole body. He's got me on the ground, with my leg pinned up. Trying to kick does n't help, Frank's too big for me to push him off. 
 
 `` One!'' 
 
 *wear him down* 
 
 I need to time my information pulls with my kicks. If I can cause a big enough headache and kick at the same time, I should be able to overcome his strength. 
 
 `` Two!'' 
 
 *urgency, James* 
 
 He's thinking about someone else? At a time like this? 
 
 `` Three!'' 
 
 *money, surgery, need it* 
 
 `` Ugh,'' He grunts. I can tell my ability is causing some powerful headaches in him. I kick again and use my ability to pull more information than last time. 
 
 *hold down, win, money, pay for it* 
 
 `` Argh!'' I got him good with that one, and I slip from his grasp. He's still in pain from the last information pull, so I turn the tables on him. 
 
 This time, I pin him to the ground. 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` One!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Two!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Three!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Four!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Five!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Six!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Seven!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Eight!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Nine!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 *James* 
 
 `` Ten!'' 
 
 *James* 
 
 *DING DING DING* 
 
 That's it, I'm the winner! I let go of Frank and roll away. 
 
 `` Winner of the WWE XCI World Championships goes to Thomas'The Tormenter'!'' 
 
 Cheers louder than anything before echo through the stadium. I've won the biggest match of my career, and it's all thanks to my ability. 
 
 Oh, are you worried about James? It sounded like Frank has someone he really cares about, named James, in the hospital. James must be waiting for a really expensive surgery that could be paid for with the winning from tonight's match. 
 
 Well, read minds long enough and you'll find that everyone has a sob story. Actually, you'll start to get board with how many kids are in the hospital.'Deadly disease, had it since birth', yeah, I've heard it a million times. 
 
 `` Retaining his spot on WWE's Most Wanted for six years, Thomas'The Tormenter'!''
