21... Security...
It's been a few hours since Chad and his minions left, and they had not appeared in the restaurant. "Are you sure he's still gonna come back?" Jeremy asked Alec eagerly. Alec raised his head and stared into space, just as he was about to say something, Chad and his guys strolled in haughtily. "Oh, God" Jeremy whispered. "They are back!" Chad marched straight to Alec's table and stood in front of him like a man ready for war, his minions as expected, emulated him. "I am back" He announced arrogantly. "Chad Williams," Alec called out loudly, rising dilatorily from his seat. "What are you doing here?" "What am I doing here?" He pointed to his own chest. "Or I should be asking what you are still doing here?" "I am having lunch." He waved his hands over the table. "You know," Chad took a threatening step forward "You're actually bolder than I thought." "So are you," Alec shot back, his voice deep, his tone menacingly slow. "You really came back" "Yeah, I came back" "Welcome bac
22...Not even for compensation...
There was silence as Alec scanned his environment. He had never been in a place like this before, but Jeremy obviously had. He shook his head and decided not to get carried away by the things around. He needed to focus. "So I want this one here, and this one, and yeah, that red one...." Alec paused when he saw that the guy he was talking to wasn't paying attention to him. "Excuse me," Alec was now getting upset, especially since he knew time was counting down for him. "I am talking to you" The guy finally looked at him. He eyed Alec's appearance, glanced at Jeremy and back at Alec. "I think you should let the real buyer talk." Alec arched his brows. "He is the real buyer" Jeremy said, letting the guy know. The guy's judging eyes scanned Alec from head toe, then he laughed. "What... what's funny?" Jeremy asked, frowning. "Him?" The man pointed at Alec "The buyer?" He shook his head. "Nah." He chuckled. "Jeremy, I know you joke a lot, but this time, you almost made me think you
23... Confirmation Initiation...
The phone's screen was bright in the semi dark car, and Alec's finger would not stop dancing across it. "Jeremy, come on" He whispered loudly. "Come on" He was staring at the phone, expecting something from Jeremy but nothing happened. Alec glanced up and saw the screen. [MISSION TIMER]Time left: 00: 30: 29"Okay, fuck it!" He cursed roughly, ready to get off the car. His phone beeped, and he stopped. When he checked it, he saw the message he'd been expecting and smiled. He sat up in the passenger seat and focused on his phone, his mind racing. There was a sound in his head, and he glanced up. The screen was in front of him, showing the time. [MISSION TIMER]Time left: 00: 23: 14"Oh fuck," He whispered under his breath, "I....." his fingers were moving with swiftness. "....am so dead." He finished, not pausing the operation on his phone for a split second. After a few taps, he waited for some seconds, then the sound in his head stopped. He sighed in relief, resting his back
24...New task...
Alec had straightened up in the seat, ready to hear about the new task."Okay, talk to me, Xander," he rubbed his hands together. "What's the new task?" The familiar sound of the system beep rang lightly in his head. [SYSTEM TASK]"You are to—" "Wait, are you going to ask me to spend five billion dollars within twenty fours this time?" Alec suddenly asked, looking horrified. "'Cause I swear I'm gonna go crazy on you if that's the new task." There was a short pause. "Xander?" Alec called, his voice cracking like he was about to start crying. "Am I really gonna be spending five billion within twenty four hours?" "No, Alexander Todd. You won't be spending five billion dollars within twenty four hours" Xander replied. Alec shut his eyes in relief, "Thank God. I was about to have a heart attack," he puffed out his cheeks. "So what am I gonna do?" "You are to engage and defeat a high criminal threat active in the city...." Alec laughed, amused. "What am I now? A cop?" "No, you're
25...Human Exigent Protocol...
There was a loud thud as a heavy punch echoed through the room. It was Alec who had just hit the punching bag. He was starting light, but his punches were quick and sharp. They were slightly messy, showing he wasn't as trained as Jeremy, but they weren't bad. One, two!He grunted, landing his fists on the bag. His muscles tightened every second with each hit, and Heidi tried not to stare with admiration. "The guy is fast" Jeremy said again. "Yeah, he is" Heidi agreed. Jeremy squinted at Alec, studying him. "Seems like he's doing this for some big personal purpose....I don't know... there's just something in the way he looks at the punching bag before throwing the punch" Heidi kept quiet, but she was now watching more closely, trying to see what Jeremy meant. Alec kept going, hitting harder, and he was going for as many as he could before facing the high threat criminal.A criminal he knew absolutely nothing about.What if he died trying to stop the bad guy? As that thought dr
26...Fight...
Jeremy's eyes were hard with concentration as he operated on the computer system with fast fingers. "Okay, let's see who we're gonna be dealing with...." He said in a slow tone, zooming in on the super human so everyone could get a clear view of it. "Alright. It's just a small guy, he doesn't even look like he's got enough fighting skills..." "Are you sure?" A team member asked. "At least, he shouldn't be as strong and swift as Alec, and..." Jeremy paused. He typed rapidly on the keyboard and narrowed his eyes. "The guy destroyed....MAINLY vehicles""Mainly vehicles?" Alec muttered "But why?" He asked. "That's a good question" Jeremy said, standing straight. "Heidi, please keep your eyes on the screen, check whatever else you can find about this little guy, okay? I'm going with Alec to deal with the superhuman." "You want me to go out there with you?" Alec asked pointing to himself, amused. "This is a super human we're talking about."Alec was confident he could beat up a normal
27...Iron boy...
The moment Jeremy left, the superhuman materialized right in front of Alec, and raised his arm to go for a direct face hit. The hand action appeared sluggish to Alec, giving him time to lower his head in other to prevent the punch from hitting him. "Xander, are you there?" He quickly contacted the system. It beeped and said a yes. Alec saw another jab coming from the guy, but he held the superhuman's fist and tried to push him backwards, but his opponent was too strong. Alec grunted, exerting more power to the push. "This guy is really an asshole" Alec remembered his first fight at the H.E.P, it was with Jeremy and Xander had helped him that day, that was how he could land a straight punch at Jeremy. "I hope you can now tell me something about this guy, Xander?" A beep, then; "No"Alec blinked, getting distracted "What do you mean, no? I need—ah!"The superhuman had already grabbed Alec by his arm, violently twisting. Then he easily threw him to the other side of the road like
28...360-degree...
The road was quiet. Vehicles, people, activities had disappeared but Alec still remained. He had not gotten up to his feet, he was still down, twisting in agony by the side of the insanely quiet road."Now is the time I really need you to say something, Xander." He groaned quietly in pains, rolling on the ground to temporarily hide from the iron man. The transparent screen appeared and the information the system could gather about the iron began to display, and was also voiced out by Xander.[INFORMATION]High threat criminal—SuperhumanSuperpower(s): Superstrength—89%"89% super strength?" Alec asked, his eyes wide. "Yes." "Oh, I'm fucked" He whispered. "My own super strength isn't even up to 60%, but now I gotta fight an iron asshole with a superstructure and 89% super strength" He looked up at the screen. Xander continued.

29...The Blitz...
Jeremy and Alec stood in front of the cell, strictly built with hard bricks in the past. It had a large, transparent, thick door that could not be broken down with just a few punches or a kick. It was very strong. That was exactly why Jeremy had chosen it to hold the superhuman. They watched the bad guy from the monitor fixed to the wall at the side of the cell. The screen displayed live footage from the cemera inside. The man in the small room was screaming and throwing his arms out like a maniac, but everything was pointless. "There is no iron for you to feed off from, little boy" Jeremy taunted. The veins in his neck popped out. "I am not a little boy!""Yes, you are" Jeremy mouthed, shaking his head. "Why don't you tell us what you want with Prof Smith?"The superhuman simpered "I thought you were smart enough to know that. Turns out you are all dummies""Well, the dummies took you down." Alec remarked calmly. Jeremy laughed pressing a button that lowered a thick, thick, dark
30...Saving. Monitoring. Contributions...
Alec had seen his dad in the living room, but since he appeared to be sleepy on the couch, he decided to tiptoe to his bedroom so as to avoid questions. He knew his dad was going to complain about not texting or calling today, and also his lateness. Alec had almost succeeded in walking past his dad when he heard someone clearing his throat loudly. Alec cursed under his breath. His dad caught him. "Young man," Alan called out and cleared his throat again. "Yes, Mr Todd?" Alec answered, his back still facing his dad. "Where are you coming from?' Alec paused. "And where the hell are you tiptoeing to?""Fuck" he cursed and turned around, his lips pressed tightly. "Uhm, actually, dad....""Oh?" Alan blinked. "I thought we were going with Mr. Todd."Alec chuckled "Mr. Todd sounds nice, don't you think?" "Don't change the topic." He deadpanned and Alec's smile dropped. "Where are you coming from? Where were you tiptoeing to? And why the hell are you late?" Alan threw the questions w
