Hypnotically Innocent
by alfir2
Synopsis
“Even with Hypnosis, I can still be a good guy!” That’s what Ron tells himself. Not out loud, of course. That would be insane. He’s not about to advertise that he can bend minds like spaghetti noodles. In a world where hormonal teens can vaporize buildings over bad cafeteria food, people are very sensitive about superpowers. Especially the sneaky ones. Ron just wants a quiet life: morning coffee, a low-stress job, and minimal screaming. But when your power is literally making people do what you say, even accidentally, staying under the radar becomes a full-time job. Eye contact? Risky. Arguments? Avoid at all costs. Job interviews? A minefield of moral panic. He’s not a villain. He’s just... inconveniently gifted. But as the world around him grows more paranoid, and the line between self-restraint and self-denial blurs, Ron has to wonder: Can you still be the good guy when your biggest secret could make you public enemy number one?
