Generation Zero Volume 1: We Are the Future - Fred Van Lente

(I'm guessing on the page number.)

 

The Zygos Twins, speaking to one of the football players:

 

Twins: "Your exceptionally measured heartbeat. It lets you excel at the sportsball, Drake Matheson."

 

Drake: "Wha... How'd you know my-?"

 

Twins: "But you are not good enough at sportsball to play professionally. No, we all know you will never play sportsball professionally, Drake Matheson. And your heartbeat, while an advantage now, also frequently leads to cardiac arrest at an early age. Alas, your odds of living past fifty are quite unlikely, Drake Matheson."

 

Drake: Has to go off somewhere and cry now.

 

Harsh.

 

There are some nice moments, but I'm still not sure how I feel about this. Based on some stuff at the beginning, I think it's probably a spinoff of something I haven't read.
