The Watchtower

Living in isolation was Joe Fremont's path to being normal. As an empath, he felt other people's emotions-their happiness, sorrow, anger and fear-whether he wished it or not. As a member of the CIA's Special Operations and Tactics Division, SOTD, he used his ability to help protect US interests from extraordinary and superhuman elements. But that was the past... Or so he believed. When his former employer comes calling, Joe is reluctant to return to a lifestyle that took much from him in years past. But with the threat of nuclear annihilation at the hands of a terrorist organization led by a mutant unlike anything SOTD has seen, he grudgingly agrees to put together a team and pacify the threat. He finds, however, that his involvement has been anticipated by his foes, complicating his decision-making further. With his abilities, and CIA resources, he can put together a group of extremely talented and capable individuals, and enhance their abilities beyond their normal limitations. However, the question remains: Will he be able to make them work as a team, and will it be enough?
