Summary 1:

No one knows they have powers. Long ago, the government found a way to supress peoples powers by injecting everyone at birth with a microscopic pod. They claim the pod is a tracker, feeding into a database where the information is kept about your health and your wherabouts. This keeps the population crime free and helps with disease prevention/controll. The place is a Utopia in every way, except for when recruits refuse.

Long ago, her mother and father were recruited. Brought to the government, told the truth, but both refused to go down that path. Her father could repress power while her mother could borrow powers from others. When she was born, she got her mothers power but to a limit. Her mother could take unlimited power for unlimited time, but her fathers power made it so she could only hold up to 2 powers for 24 hours before they snapped back to their owners.

When her parents refused, they were sentenced to death, they knew too much. The government official who had the ability to wipe minds had his powers supressed when her father touched him. When they allowed her to say goodbye to her parents, they told her to take her fathers power. She did, and when he was executed, the power stayed with her.

So she grew up in the foster care system, knowing the whole time everything corrupt with the government.
