46...No tricky little thief...
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."
45...Call security?...
Kevin strolled through the restaurant, oozing confidence so much that Jeremy and Alec had to grimace for a second. His new girl clung to his side, flashing a proud smile like she had just won a trophy."Dude's walking around like he owns the damn place, I almost thought he paid rent on the air itself," Jeremy commented with a frown and looked at Alec. "And they didn't even see us.""That's 'cause they are too busy savoring the moment of bliss" Alec replied dryly"I hope it stays that way" Jeremy muttered. "I mean maybe it's for the best." Alec gave a slight nod, his eyes tracking them. Kevin and his girl took a pause and started to look around the beautiful restaurant, then turned to Alec's table."Shit," Jeremy quickly averted his face. "Do you think they saw us?""Uhhh...." Alec hesitated. "I don't know?""Stop staring at them!" Jeremy hissed in a whisper. "Why?""Why?! What do you mean 'why?' " Jeremy almost screamed. "If you stare, they're gonna see you and the next thing they
44...Show that difference...
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
43...The one hiding something...
Alec opened his mouth to say something to Letty, anything, but a rough voice from the crowd had stopped him. "The chain is so ugly!" Alec stood akimbo and rolled his eyes sassily. It was Kevin who had made that remark in an intentional loud voice."It's ugly cause it's fake!" One of Alec's classmates yelled to support Kevin."So he stole a fake necklace?" A pink haired said to her friend. Heidi, already standing beside Jeremy, sighed loudly. "These people needs saving" Jeremy shook his head. "They are beyond saving"Meanwhile, Letty was focused on something else. She was feeling burning sensation on her skin where Alec had touched her. She doesn't know what exactly it was but she was curious. Her eyes dropped to her arm and she gasped softly at what she saw. There were faint, reddish burns visible. It was like her skin had been close to melting.Unable to control herself, she gasped like she did minutes ago. "Oh my God," she whispered, her eyes darting up to Alec.But Alec wasn
42... Bionic implants...
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
41...It was familiar...
Alec had quietly counted the number of guards Kurt had called over just for his necklace and shook his head in a jeering manner. "Kurt, this is what you wanna do?" Alec asked, calmly taking off his wristwatch. "This is what I wanna do, and this is just the beginning" Kurt rasped. "Hm" Alec hummed, placing his expensive gold wrist watch on the countertop, then looked at the guards to count again. "But come on, four guards just for a necklace? Seriously?" Alec remarked. "That should show you how I can easily get more than a person for anything I want" Kurt said with pride. "Kurt, stop this," Letty snapped, finally managing to pull away from his grip. "It's complete madness" "No, it's power, my love" Kurt pronounced slowly and chuckled wickedly. "And it's always nice to have that power""You are misusing that power" Letty whispered. Alec sighed, staring at the guards now. One of the them with ridiculously shaped eyebrows came forward boldly and made a grab for Alec's necklace
