Heidi and Prof Smith strolled into one of the training rooms for a little private chat."Heidi, I can tell you're starting to develop feelings for him" Prof Smith stated."Falling for who?" Heidi inquired, pretending to be unaware.Prof Smith gave an exasperated eye roll. "Come on, let's cut the act and have this conversation. You're falling for the new kid, the superhuman."Heidi took a deep breath, her heart racing. "You're gonna tell me to kill these feelings, aren't you?""Heidi, he ain't your average Joe. He's a superhuman, and soon enough, everyone's gonna be after him. Your feelings could put you both in danger. Remember what happened with your ex..."Heidi closed her eyes tightly. "Don't bring him up, please.""I gotta make sure you understand the risks you and Alec will face if you let these feelings grow...""Prof Smith, this is different. It's me falling for Alec, not the other way around.""Yet" Prof Smith said firmly.Heidi narrowed her eyes at him, a mix of frustration a

Jenny couldn't see the trailer barreling towards them, but Jeremy, who was up front, spotted it."Fuck" He quickly slammed the car into reverse, realizing the vehicle was zooming toward them in the wrong lane. "This vehicle shouldn't be on this lane!" he muttered, foot on the gas in reverse."We gotta do something, Jenny!" Alec yelled, catching Jenny off guard as she had no idea about the oncoming trailer."What do you mean?" she asked, her confusion evident."There's a trailer speeding towards us!" Alec urgently informed her.Jenny's grip on the steering wheel tightened, her knuckles turning white. Jeremy quickly pulled up beside her, driving parallel to her car. He glanced through his own car window, assessing the situation."I'm gonna turn around now," Jenny suggested, her voice filled with panic.Alec vigorously shook his head. "No way! That won't work. The trailer will still catch up to us and crush us. Plus, Drew's friends are also racing towards us. What if our cars collide?""

Alec froze on his seat for a second, caught off guard by Jeremy's unexpected question. The he quickly composed himself and cleared his throat "What powers?" he asked, trying to play it cool.Jeremy furrowed his brow brow "Alec" he called, his voice filled with a mix of worry and curiosity.Alec sighed, realizing he couldn't hide it any longer. "Are you talking about the way I can run really fast, or how I'm able to land a powerful punch?""And the way your body heats up after a fight or a run, and how you heal so quickly." Jeremy added. Alec shrugged "I don't really know how it all happened. Maybe anyone can have these abilities if they train hard enough, right?"Jeremy shook his head, his expression serious. "No, Alec. They can't" he replied firmly."What? But they can!" Alec argued, even though deep down he knew it wasn't true.Jeremy let out a frustrated sigh and hit the steering wheel lightly. "Alec, no! Nobody gets those kinds of powers just from training alone. They magically

Alec sat with his dad in the living room, eating a slice of pizza, and no matter how hard he tried to shake off the feeling of being watched, it just wouldn't go away. The loud bang on the roof seemed to hold some meaning, and of course, someone had entered his room. The image of the ball with the mysterious word inscribed on it kept playing on repeat in his head.Alec's dad could sense that something was off and his concern was written all over his face. He asked with a worried expression, "Alec, are you okay?"Alec took a bite of his pizza and forced a smile, replying, "Yeah, yeah."However, his dad could tell that something was bothering him. To divert the conversation, Alec decided to bring up the discussion he had with Jeremy in the car."So, dad, I actually wanna ask for some advice," Alec started, looking serious, and that immediately grabbed his dad's full attention. "It's for a friend."Mr. Todd narrowed his eyes at his son, a hint of concern in his expression. "Okay?""So, t

Jenny curled her lips in annoyance as the guy next to her stroked his fingertips over her arm. "Stop," she whispered sternly. The guy smirked and continued, which only fueled Alec's anger even more. Just as the guy was about to move his fingers down to Jenny's hips, Alec swooped in and grabbed his arm from behind, twisting it with a firm grip. Using his powers, Alec generated intense heat in his hands, causing the guy to wince in pain. Alec quickly covered the guy's mouth tightly with his hand to prevent any cries of agony from being heard, especially by the teacher. "I hate guys that don't listen to simple instructions," Alec whispered, his expression remained hard, while Jenny watched with parted lips and wide eyes. She hadn't expected Alec to come to her aid right in the middle of class."When a girl says leave her alone, you do just that, do you understand?" Alec whispered dangerously, his words catching the attention of some of their classmates. "Nod your head if you understan
