111...Like an insect...
Alec was physically okay, but emotionally down. Failing a mission, not just any mission, but an important one that came up in the most surprising way. He had treated it as a mission from the start even before he met Shadowborne face to face, and the System had also had it as a mission to handle, a task to complete successfully. But he failed. And that did something sour to his mood. It just didn't sit well with him...at all. He kept thinking back to how he stood in that building, staring hard at Shadowborne with the determination to take him down, he still ended up failing. Alec looked around the living room and didn't meet his dad there as he'd expected. He glanced at the direction of his dad's bedroom. "Guess he slept early today." He muttered.Alec headed straight to his room and collapsed onto the bed with a sigh."Xander" He called slowly with a low voice. "Yes, Alec. How may I help you?" Xander answered instantly. Alec sighed again. "I did everything I could to take Shado

The screen displayed various recorded videos and a captured image of the superhuman for the team members to study and analyze."Well, let's take a look at it. He's not causing any trouble," Alec said, pointing to the screen showing a recorded video of the superhuman soaring through the sky."Yet." Prof Smith interjected firmly, his right hand stretched out for demonstration. "But he's just enjoying himself, you know? If he was a troublemaker, we would be dealing with unconscious people by now," Jeremy explained, and Alec's expression showed his agreement."So what you're saying is that we should wait for people to get unconscious before we take this seriously?" Prof asked with a hard tone, scoffing. "We can't wait for him to harm others before we start taking action." He pointed to the screen displaying the tiny image of the flying superhuman on the hospital building. "Look at him, those powers...""Do you know him from somewhere?" Heidi asked in her tiny voice. "What? Know him?" Pr

Prof Smith and Alec returned to the H.E.P not looking a bit happy. Prof Smith looked serious and worried, Alec looked sharp and calm. "We visited her ex-husband, Greg, but he wasn't the one causing trouble" Prof Smith informed, staring into space."Yeah" Alec's jaw clenched. "Prof Smith was right all along. There's really someone dangerous out there," He said, turning his eyes to the tiny image of the superhuman on the screen. "He killed Greg."Heavy silence fell in the room as Jeremy and Heidi slowly processed Alec's last sentence. "Okay, so let me get this straight, alright?" Jeremy broke the quietness, his hands moving for demonstrations " This guy went after Greg and killed him after flying over the top of the hospital building where your girlfriend is," Jeremy said, staring at Prof Smith."Jeremy," Prof Smith called out slowly, "My friend, not girlfriend," Prof Smith corrected with a dull tone. "And yeah, this superhuman... he..." Prof Smith paused, a thoughtful expression on h

"Alright let's do this." Alec mumbled. He ran towards the tall building, targeting the superhuman. With a groan, climbed up to the roof with his smooth, quick moves, his mind calculating the little distance now between them. He jumped, using a flip to get closer and just as he was about to reach his opponent, the guy flew away again."Son of a fucking bitch!" Alec cursed aloud, his voice rough. He paused, then he scanned his surroundings, searching for any sign of the superhuman. Finally, he saw him again. He was standing on top of another building, wearing a smug smirk as he observed Alec from the top. "I'm gonna kill him" Alec growled under his breath, his fist clenched as he glared at his opponent. He did series of quick, smooth flips that made it faster in moving his body towards the building where his opponent stood like the game player he was. Alec hoped he would be reach him in time before he disappeared again. As he got closer, he quickened his movements and the flying

"He is what now?" Jeremy asked no one in particular. "Insect" Heidi answered, sighing.Alec was quiet. The way the superhuman reminded him of his name played in Alec's head more than once. There was a tone to the way he called his name out. Alec had never heard any of the villains he'd fought in the past use that tone. Then there was the mark on Greg's neck. The image flashed to Alec's mind, and then the image of Insect's claws shooting out also appeared quickly in his brain box."Insect," Jeremy was frowning as he uttered the name. "Insect, seriously?" He tapped on the iPad in his hands. "I just keep hearing weirder shits everyday, like, how the hell do these guys even come up with their crazy names?""Movement is one crazy name, now it's Insect" Heidi added."Guys?" Prof Smith called through the earbud, his phone in his hand. He was still in the hospital but he made sure he was following with every activities going on inside and outside the H. E. P. He was watching a video sent t

Sam Thomas glanced at his phone for the fifth time. "They should be in a meeting by now" He mumbled. "They won't be home at this time....right?" He directed the question to no one around, and since only him could answer the question, he nodded. "Right."With that, he started the car and drove straight home.He entered the luxurious living room, looked around and breathed out in relief when he saw no one. "Thank God"He started to walk towards the staircase with a small smile on his face. "Oh, sweet home. I'm just gonna rest for two hours before finally explaining that I was tricked again" He soliloquized as he strolled, his smile growing. "Home. Sweet home.""And where do you think you're going?"That question made Sam froze on his confident walk. "Is that who I think it is?" He wondered aloud. "It is exactly who you think it is, Samuel" The voice replied. It was slow, angry, wicked. "Welcome home, pumpkin" Mrs Thomas greeted but her voice wasn't the loving one Sam was used to. "Sw

Heidi watched Jeremy as his quick fingers ran across the screen with a furious energy. His eyes were serious, his muscles hard and clenched, his expression wasn't showing a single smile.Heidi chewed her lips. She could see how it was written all Jeremy that he was upset. She moved closer to his side and placed a hand on his hard back.Jeremy paused for a second when he felt the physical contact. "What?" He barked. "Geez..." Heidi frowned "Don't bark at me." Jeremy raised his head a little to face Heidi. She rolled her eyes. Jeremy focused back on the keyboard and Heidi took her hand off his back."You know...." Heidi stared at her friend whose jaw was clenched way too hard. "You can just talk to him and settle your differences instead of just fighting with the keyboard" Jeremy's frown deepened, and the rapid movement of his fingers on the keyboard also increased. "I am not fighting with the keyboard.""Oh my God" Heidi chuckled. "It's not funny! Okay?!" Jeremy yelled in frustrat
118... Unlock a power...
Insect stood at the entrance of the huge hospital building, glaring at the glassy door. His face was not clearly seen as it was partially concealed with a hard green mask that covered only the sides of his face.With his his bold presence creating fear in everyone, no one could go out or come in."Come out now, Aunt Kris!!" He roared. "Or are you scared of your little boy now?"Kris swallowed and held Prof Smith's hand tightly. "Come out nowwww...." He sang. "Let's talk out here now while I'm being nice before I make you come out in a way you definitely won't like.""Maybe I should just go" Kris whispered shakily. Prof Smith shook his head strongly. "No""But I can't just stay here!" She whisper yelled, her hands trembling. "I...I think he just needs help." "You're not going anywhere, Kris," Prof. Smith said, gently holding her weak shoulders. "Just stay here.""But...he needs help."Prof Smith nodded. "Help will arrive soon to handle this, okay?"Kris blinked slowly. "Is this

Alec waited anxiously for Xander's response, his eyes fixed on Insect who was still waiting for the next move. Without thinking, Alec made the first move. He sprinted towards the building where Insect was, leaping with his extraordinary speed."So can I just get the flying powers already?" Alec breathed sharply.Beep."You have to put in the work to unlock your powers" Xander replied with its flat cold voice."I am trying" Alec growled under his breath."You have to try harder," Xander said plainly. "You have to tap into your inner strength, determination, and consistent training—both physically and mentally."Alec released a loud exhale. "Tapping into my strength, determination and consistent training..." He shook his head. "That is what I have been doing and I still can't get the power I need. Xander, you need to do something.""At this moment, you are the one who needs to do something" Xander said back. "Only you, can unlock your powers, Alec."Alec stared at Insect, angry at the

Heidi twisted her lips. "I knew there was surely gonna be a problem."Jeremy gave her a look that said; 'stop'. "Alec is it a big problem?" He asked. "Yeah" Alec breathed. "Okay, how big are we talking?" Jeremy asked."Big enough for me to wanna talk about it" Alec replied. Jeremy folded his arms across his chest, ready to listen. "So here's the big problem" Alec exhaled, showing his concern. "I have no clue how to actually use that electricity to levitate. I want to do it, I really wanna catch this Insect guy, but levitating? I don't even know where to begin. And Xander is not even willing to help at this point." He muttered the last part of his sentence and continued under his breath. "The metalhead is telling me only me can unlock my powers like I haven't even been trying." Alec's words were unclear since his voice was inaudible but the team members could tell he was upset. "Now how the hell am I supposed to levitate?" Alec threw out the question to no one, clearly still ann
