Our Home is Dying, A short story in the making.
Blurb: Something happened to Mars 3.5 Billion years ago that devastated the planet, in sheer astronomical coincidence that was also around the same time Earth started to develop the building blocks of life.

There was no dust to cloud anyone’s view, any debris was vaporized on impact, and the crater was illogically large for solely lighting. In the middle of the crater stood the Being, underneath Grande was alive, but only due to the willingness of the Being.
Grande’s muscles screamed louder than his own voice, yet leave it to the predictable species to stare at him and then dared to move forward. The Being–with a smile that gave off nothing but comfort– asked one favor to the millions of non-super humans, “may you please leave us?”
