Enraged.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Mr. Zack scolded Oscar at one side, away from the rest of the team, "Are you out of your mind?! You will risk exposing yourself." He said, furiously. Oscar wasn't having him complain and he wanted to explain. "Don't you think that guy also knows the same martial art technique we use? He's fast and agile and he can keep up with my speed. Something tells me he's even better." He argued. Mr. Zack pondered for a while before giving a reply. "Although I do suspect Leo, it doesn't mean you should take it too far. When I look at it, I don't think he's using the same technique as we are." He replied. Oscar opened his eyes widely as he was surprised. "Not the same technique?! How's that possible? I thought you said—" he wanted to question Mr. Zack but the latter interrupted him. "I know what I said, fool. It's extremely rare to find people in the world who seem to understand the true martial art techniques passed on for generations. Th

Losing Control.
"Huh! Is he... crying!?" Oliver questioned. Kenny burst into laughter. "What a crybaby. It seems like he needs mommy to come to console him. Hahaha." He laughed out loud, and his teammates joined in. Leo heard this and he was enraged. His sense of logic was getting weaker and weaker. Logan began to feel some resistance like Leo wanted to break free. He knew that it was no longer safe to be here. "Get it together Leo," He consoled before yelling at his teammates. "Bring me Leo's jacket, and do it fast." He ordered. Tyler quickly took out Leo's black jacket from his bag and gave it to Logan without knowing why. Logan took it and used it to cover Leo's head like a hood. Mrs. Hale hurriedly walked to the scene. "What's going on with him?" She was about to touch Leo when Logan stopped her from getting closer. "Don't! I advise that you leave this to me. This isn't something you can handle." He said, trying to come up with an excuse. Mrs. Hale was a bit surprised and wasn't bu

Best friends.
Leo hurriedly crawled up to Logan and tried to see his wounds. “No. No. no. No, this isn’t good. What have I done?!” He cried frantically. Logan was gasping for breath and coughing heavily. “I’m… cough cough… fine, Leo… cough.” He said and tried to sit up, but he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and he groaned. “No, you’re not. You could be bleeding internally. I’ll go get help.” Leo said and was about to go when Logan held his leg tightly. Blood was seeping from the corner of Logan's mouth. “You do know… that if you step out that door, you could be declared a criminal,” Logan said with a smile. Tears trickled down Leo’s eyes and supported Logan with his arm, “Besides, Dr. Cartel should be on his way here.” he added. Leo was completely clueless, and he hated that he didn’t know how to help Logan. Logan groaned in pain again, “I do suspect that I’m bleeding internally.” he said. Leo began to shed tears. “Why? Why go this far for me?” He asked as he couldn’t understand why Loga

New plan.
Inside Dr. Cartel's private lab, Logan was lying on the bed. Besides the bed was a drip being held up by a drip stand. The drip was connected to a sleeping Logan's hand. Leo sat on the chair next to Logan's bed and thought about all that happened. He clearly remembered himself beating Logan up, and he couldn't do anything about it. At this moment, Dr. Cartel entered the lab and sighed upon seeing Leo. He walked to him and put his hand on his shoulder. “Dr. Emily said that he's gonna be alright. He just broke a few ribs and some bruises. No long-lasting damages done.” he informed, hoping to cheer him up. However, Leo didn't respond. He wore a solemn look and tears fell from his eyes. “This is all my fault…” he claimed, “I shouldn't have gotten angry. I shouldn't have,” he said. Although the look on his face was like that of someone who was extremely angry, tears still trickled down his eyes. Dr. Cartel pursed his lips and sighed, before grabbing another chair and sitting beside

Threat.
“Leo… what are you trying to do?” Molly inquired in a slightly shaky voice as Leo brought the knife closer to her, his upcoming action was making her feel scared. Molly was about to take a step back when Leo stopped her. “It's ok. I won't do any lasting damage. I only want to show you my plan.” He said, and he sat back on his chair. “Now give me your hand,” he asked. Molly was still scared and confused. “What are you trying to do?” she inquired once more as she forced herself to calm down. 'He won't do anything to hurt me'. She thought. Leo closed his eyes and calmly asked her to follow his order. Molly hesitated for a second before slowly offering him her hand. Leo grabbed her hand and used the sharp knife to give her a five-centimeter cut. The cut made Molly wince in pain, and she quickly drew back her hand with an unhappy expression. She was annoyed yet curious as to what her nephew had in mind. The latter dropped the knife, seeming to ignore Molly's rage. He simply closed h

Request.
Inside Dr. Cartel's laboratory, a glowing silhouette sat on the chair beside the medical bed where Logan lied on. He was burning with a small yellowish-red flame and his skin was glowing slightly. He sat in a lotus position with his hands placed on his lap and a completely expressionless face. His eyes were closed but the aura he exuded was one of beauty. Even the color of his hair had changed from phoenix black to yellowish red. Anyone who sees Leo in this state would feel their hearts falter and they'll feel like worshipping him... together with the shock that'll overcome them. Logan, who was lying down beside him was no exception, as even he was feeling a huge sense of emotional attraction towards Leo. At the same time, he was feeling energetic and the pains in his body were starting to fade away. He observed Leo's glowing body and marveled. 'Although this is the second time I'm seeing you like this up close, the feeling still looks new to me.' He thought and he had the urge to to

Trouble.
It was eight o'clock in the evening. Leo slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blurry so he blinked his eyes a few times and things started to clear up. A sharp pain in his head made him contort his face and wince. He had a big headache and his thoughts were muffled and unclear for a while. 'Where... am I?" He thought. He tried to recall what happened before he blacked out, but he felt even more excruciating pain in his head. He hissed and held his head. "Owww. That hurts." He muttered and stopped trying to remember what happened. Instead, he wanted to assess his surroundings and see where he was. Although his vision was still blurry and was slowly clearing up, he could still recognize some large things in the room. He sat up and looked around the room. It wasn't too dark in the room, as some lights were still on, illuminating some parts of the room for him. He started getting frustrated about his eyes being blurry so he rubbed them both with his hands. When he was done, t

Two beings.
In front of Logan’s house, Logan and Leo stopped and chatted for a while. They took a taxi to the place to get there fast, despite Logan trying to convince Leo to use his super speed. The latter disagreed due to various reasons, one of which included the fact that he was slightly weak. Also, his speed doesn’t go beyond the maximum speed a car can travel. “So... what are you gonna do after now?” Logan inquired. Leo scratched his head and thought about it. “Well... today’s already gone. And there are still a few little things I need to take care of.” He replied. Logan folded his arms and smirked. “Well, you go do you.” He said and extended his fist, “I’ll handle things over here.” Leo smiled and extended his fist to collide with Logan’s and they bump fists. “Goodnight bro. See you tomorrow.” Leo bid his friend farewell before turning in the other direction and walking away. “Goodnight, Leo.” Logan waved as he watched his friend depart while waving his hand. After a few seco

Suspect.
“You’re here…” Dr. Cartel said as he lit a cigarette and sat on his office chair with his legs on the table. Leo walked towards the chair on the other side of his desk and took his seat. He sighed and massaged his temples as he was a bit frustrated with everything that was happening. “You okay?” The doctor asked. “Yeah, I’m fine.” Leo waved his hand and looked in another direction. The doctor could tell that he wasn’t okay so he shoved the packet of cigarettes on the desk to him. “Smoke?” He asked. Leo raised a brow. “You do know that I’m still a minor, right?” He questioned. “Sure, I do. But I also know that you’re a man capable of handling an inferno inside your stomach so a smoke should be nothing to you.” The doctor replied. Leo hesitated at first and was about to reject it, as he was still seventeen. However, when he thought more about it, he felt that the doctor was right. He took the cigarette packet and removed a cigarette before lighting it up. He inhaled the smoke

Suspects 2.
Walking down the hallway of Elian Comprehensive high, hands in his pocket, head dropped and headphones cupped his ears as he enjoyed the beats of the music he was listening to. Leo was in his own world. He wouldn’t bother about anyone around him, and the only thing he would think about were his thoughts. And this was just the right moment for him to be lost in thought. He got to where his locker was, am”ng the line of lockers, and opened it before grabbing a few notebooks and closing it back. However, before he closed it, he sighed. “Do you really have to do this all the time?” He asked as he rolled his eyes and closed the locker door, which revealed the glum-looking Logan behind it. He had sensed that his friend was there. “Why the long face?” He inquired again. Logan who leaned against the lockers with his arms folded stood normally and turned to walk the other way. “We lost the game.” He said. Leo quickly used his padlock to lock his locker before catching up with his friend
