Alec let out a short, rough breath as he impatiently waited for Xander to start speaking about the guard. "What kinda superhuman is he, Xander?" He asked again. "Subject does not register under superhuman classification." Xander said calmly. "What?" Alec frowned, puzzled and quickly did a backward flip to avoid another attack. "Not a superhuman? Then why the hell are his arms so fucking strong like that?" Alec questioned. "They felt like a damn war machine"[ANALYSIS]"Structural Anomaly Detected. Subject forearms are reinforced with high grade bionic implants.""Oh?" Alec took a quick moment to zoom in on the guard's covered arms as they came into view. "You know you might wanna break it down for me a little."Beep. "His musculature is enhanced through synthetic tendons, fused with alloy components"Alec exhaled. "And what exactly is that supposed to mean?""It means subject's body is enhanced with synthetic tendons, combined with metal components for metal strength." Xander ans

There was a moment of silence between Jeremy and Alec. It was comfortable for Alec, but for Jeremy, it was deafening. "Alec?" He broke the silence between them. "What the hell are we doing here?" He asked again. "Well...." Alec shrugged lightly. "We are here to relax and, you know....observe.""Observe," Jeremy repeated and chuckled. "You do realize we still need money here to observe."Alec shrugged again. Jeremy blinked. "Alec, I mean....a lotta money. REAL MONEY."Alec nodded casually. "Okay?"Jeremy stared at Alec, his mouth hanging open. "Okay, I know you have the money and all, but dude....." He looked around at the soft lights, the shiny floors and the elegant table set up. "This place is insane. Just look at everyone here, and you know we're gonna be spending like crazy....no—YOU are gonna be spending like crazy, not me."Alec still remained relaxed. Jeremy's eyes grew bigger. "How the hell are you not bothered one bit, while I'm here shivering like a chicken that just f

Jeremy had ordered some desserts, and when they arrived, he smiled appreciatively at the waiter. "Want some?" He asked Kevin and his girl. They both scoffed. "Okay. Definitely not," He said then started to feast on it. "And it tastes really nice" He mumbled, chewing with his eyes closed. Kevin looked at Alec. "How much you gon' pay me when you lose?""If I lose" Alec corrected him firmly. "When you lose" Kevin and his girl chorused with a hard, certain tone. "He's not gonna lose," Jeremy spoke up. "And this shit tastes really amazing, you should try it" He said, shutting his eyes again as he chewed slowly. "So?" Kevin queried Alec. "What's it gonna be?"Alec tapped his fingers on the table. "One million dollars." Jeremy eyes flew open, and he nearly spat out the food in his mouth. "One million dollars?!" He squeaked at the same time as Kevin and his girl. Alec smirked. "You want me to increase it?" Jeremy coughed loudly in shock. Alec's smirk deepened. "Two million then."

"Dad, we're here." Alec announced.Alan, Alec's dad, rolled down the window of the car, slightly stuck his head out for a peek, and frowned. "No.""Dad?" Alec called, confused. "We're at our new home.""And I said no," Alan shook his head in disagreement. "That mansion can't be our new home, Jeremy drive us back home, please.""Dad!""Son!" He called back. "Okayy..." Jeremy mumbled, obviously amused. "We need to get off the car, please" Alec pleaded with his dad. "Get off the car and what? Walk right into someone else's home so we can get beaten up? Nah, I raised you better than that." Jeremy snickered from the driver's seat and Alec shot him a glare from the backseat. "Look, son," Alan sighed. "I understand that you wish for nice things, and I'm sorry I can't provide all of that right now, but I promise you that I'm gonna get a better job. Thanks to my anonymous helper at the hospital, I'm getting better treatment, so that means I'm gonna get better soon."Alec smiled. "That's

Kevin wore a smirk that spoke a lot of evil thoughts. "Alec, Alec, Alec" He sang, strolling toward him with his usual arrogant style. "You know...." Alec squinted. "Jeremy was right. You are truly an evil spirit that follows people around."Doctor Raymond let out a short laugh but quickly cleared his throat, regaining his professional compusure again. "Kevin," He smiled politely at the arrogant young man. "What are you doing here?""I need that lab report for my dad...and..." Kevin glanced at Alec with an expression of disgust on his face, then he asked the doctor. "You allow people like him here now?"Doctor Raymond's brows creased in confusion. "People like him? What do you mean people like....okay, Alec is here for his father who is a patient at this hospital.""Oh, I see how it is now," Kevin said, laughing. "I totally understand the whole situation now," He stared at Alec with that usual look of contempt. "You're here to beg for discount on your dad's treatment, aren't you?"Al
