Lisa took a cursory look around and she nodded her head immediately after. Clay had always been the more perceptive one between them and she wasn't surprised to hear that he was feeling something weird too.She had been getting that exact same feeling for a while now, especially when she was alone in the hallways.Miss Aubrey was with the rest of the gang so it was only her and Clay in her lab. The fact that he was also feeling this in her lab unnerved her but she kept her cool all the same .She also had something she wanted to show him.Lisa could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she handed the eyeglasses back to Clay. He hadn't really mentioned what they could do or what they were meant for. Knowing him, she wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't decided on what to use it for.Mass destruction was out of it so she could already tell that she would be ruling that out of the pile, but apart from that, Clay could find a lot of other ways to use his creations and she could be sure t

Her documents were the first thing she burnt down.Jake had helped her get all her information back from the city's citizen database. She had never really been an indigene of any of destiny's islands. She and her brother had migrated here with their parents when they were six years old. Their parents had been unsuccessful people, but maybe that was what killed them at the end of the day. Mark had to send her off to fashion school with the money left behind for the both of them and then go on to seek fortune for himself.Adeline felt her heart shattering with every detail she remembered about her brother now and tears were forming in her eyes.If Mark had been here then there would have been no way that she would have had to face all she was facing. Her brother had been a mercenary soldier, working hand in hand with the international defense services of the whole nation. Even if he didn't look rich or powerful, he was still someone that could have helped her dispose of the minor bugs

Jake woke up to blaring rays of white light over him and the sound of far-off beeping. His head ached, his eyes burned, and his mind was fogged. The last thing he could remember was.......... a shot! Jake jerked out of the bed he was in almost immediately and he felt a hand hit his chest back down. The sound of bones breaking and the way pain bloomed from his chest made him rethink standing up again. Obviously, someone was standing over him, but he could not see or feel them. He could feel the force in the hit he had been delivered though and he could tell that he would not survive another hit like that. He was down, and there was no way he could stand up without killing himself. "Reset the bones." A high-pitched whirring floated into his ears and Jake felt his back arch at the shock that passed through him. His brain seemed to be dormant now because he couldn't summon up the thought to scream. Everything was a blank and foggy white for a few moments before it stopped. The las

"What's in the box, Dad?"Xavier turned his head to see his daughter walking towards him and he smiled at her as he dropped the box in his hands.He sighed.When the hell did talking to Con become so hard? He could tell that whatever was bothering Con had something to do with Aubrey and Jane, maybe it even surpassed them for all he could tell, but still........ what was his point again?Xavier scrunched up his face in confusion as he tried to recall the conclusion he had mentally arrived at a few minutes ago. The look of confusion on Con's face had shaken him because that would be the first time in a while that he had experienced something like that.All through their days as military soldiers, he was fairly sure of the fact that Con had never really been that confused before, not so much that he could barely gather his thoughts and speak.The God of Mercenary didn't seem so much like the God of Mercenary anymore. It suddenly felt like some things had changed even with Con.That last

The gate to the Argon home was wide open by the time they began to drive in and Con smiled to himself. He had always wondered how the Blacks came to know the Argons. Janette might consider her family one of the best in the area, but in the whole of Glover city, they were more or less not so impressive. It would have been best if they had stayed as a low-key family and not gotten themselves involved in the schemes of his half-uncle, but they failed to do that and they made the mistakes that came with it. Janette had the eyes of a hawk, always looking for what to grab onto. Her mother was even worse, she would kiss ass for as long as it took, regardless of if she looked bad doing it or not. They both had similar mindsets so it was no surprise to him that Janette's mother somehow managed to turn her daughter's heart, she had always been that way, her mother just helped unleash that potential. Ray Finland was their latest catch, but what would happen if he was to come back to the scene
