For Jason, getting accepted into FATES is the first step of the rest of his life, but how can he plan for the future when he doesn't even know his own past?Jason Steele leads a pretty normal life for a 14-year-old in the 2040's. He has parents that love him, despite all the secrets they keep from him. He has best friends he's never been apart from. He knows exactly what he wants to do with his life and how best to get there. The biggest problems in his life are bullies and a crush that hardly notices him. All in all, he's just a regular boy... But it's funny how much can change in just one year.When the number of strange occurrences builds to a point that even the most well-crafted lie can't cover, Jason finally learns the truth about himself, but that's only the beginning. As his bad luck streak continues, his parents find themselves as targets of the massive government agency ASTERISK, and one tiny little mistake blows up to have dire consequences for the Steele family. Then, even when he thinks he's gotten a handle on things again, he discovers he's not as alone as he was once led to believe. There are others like him, and not all of them are as friendly as others.
Hello, my name's Zeke, and I'm a Fallen Angel. Now don't be too quick to judge me, we Fallen Angels get a bad rep. A long, long time ago, in a plane of existence not too far away, Father and his inner circle of Archangels had a minor difference of opinion. Sides were chosen, allegiances made, and when Dear ol' Dad got his way, he kicked out those of us that sided with Lucy. (Oh, right, sorry, you probably know her better by her full name, Lucifer.) Anyway, you know what they say, history is written by the victor, so the sore winners upstairs have been bad-mouthing us ever since while propping themselves up as all high and mighty, righteous and forgiving, please, it's all a bunch of bologna, trust me. If they were so good at forgiving, they wouldn't have trapped us all in Hell for who knows how many millennia. If my little sister Trini hadn't been able to influence humanity to split the atom, we never would've been able to get out. It's taken over seven decades for the fractures between Hell and Earth to grow large enough for a being as powerful as me to cross over, but I'm a patient Angel, and in the meantime, I've been able to watch your world, so I think I'm ready for a vacation topside. All I need now is a willing host, someone desperate enough to rent out a space in their head, it'll be fun, I promise...
