Zack took a break running to the bar with Elaine.

"Gizmo, what are you wearing?" She said brushing a table.

"It's my uniform."

"You look like crap anyway, did you run here?."

Zack chuckled. "Hilarious."

Elaine smiled. She faced the bar.

"Is something wrong? Or am I just imagining stuff?" He scratched under his eye.

"You're not wrong..." She went around the counter. "I'm not sure but what's wrong but I don't feel safe." She whispered.

"Who's here?" He said with a long drawn voice unsure what she meant.

"Those guys are pretending to be bouncers." She nodded.

He looked twice on them. "I'm surprised I missed them."

"Don't be, they paid my boss $2000 to stay here in plain sight. Frankly they didn't have to because the bouncers are lazy as fuck, they could have let them anyway... Comfort me."

He looked uneasy. "Now's not the time for this."

"Just help me out silly."

"What about your promise...? I'm not the kind of person you'd want to stick around with."

"But...why'd you even ask me to be

    He took out his laptop and checked his newsfeed. His eyes rounded at the news page. Mecha Knight retaliates and destroys public domain."Look at this." He said absentmindedly and thought twice before scrolling up to his post.She looked in and laughed hard. He didn't know which was worse, he thought she was laughing at his empty newsfeed but he checked on the post. It had 1k likes, 7k views and growing.She watched him swinging a bat. It slipped and hit the umpire in the nuts. Playing on repeat. "You're the worst ever."She paused it before it reached the last part about his ad. "You missed it a few seconds.""You're a creative genius." She bumped him. "This isn't good publicity but_""Shut the front door. All publicity is good publicity. You could make a killing out of this stuff."He felt queasy now. She kept butting in to his conversation. The whole world would know he was like this and he would be held accountable whether he wanted a baseball career or not. He exhaled thinking

    He gulped. ...Elaine walked home hugging her coat. She brushed her blotchy mascara and she was expecting not to meet her father at home.Alec was not around. "As per the usual." She said then something nudged her to go check on the guards. No one had asked about her."Dad!" She was surprised that he was home.Alec paused, his nostrils flared at her. "Where have you been all this while?""I went out with a friend."Alec showed her a picture of a man in a light purple shirt and khakis."This guy?"She snorted. "What does it matter who I was talking to? I'm back and I'm just curious about your work.""About time. I have a lot to show you. If you would like.""Yeah, I'm down for it." She said.Alec was surprised. "You know, the reason why I worked for that contract was so I could work in Nevada without travelling much."She whirled at him. "You're an entrepreneur. You can do whatever shit you want.""This isn't something I'm comfortable talking about but I have an arms dealing with the s

    Zack typed on his computer and he crossed his legs reading the news about the public making manifestos against the Mecha Knight. He yawned.The other workers busied themselves cleaning up."Just look at him, he thinks he's so charming." A guy said having his coffee.Zack swallowed hard clicking on the mouse several times. He saw pics of people raising placards.We are not safe!Devil in disguise!"What's your deal with Trevor? He's not even that special anyway. What blond guy has brown eyes, that's silly.""If he isn't so special, you wouldn't waste your precious time talking about him..." Novalie Price said lifting her chin and packing her stuff."He's a 6.""I say 8.""Even a 6 is too generous. I bet he's a bottom."Zack looked queasy. They laughed and he could hear them quite clearly. He felt like a jackass for not reacting to them. Another perk of having super sensitive ears."Went to prison. Never finished college. He's going down."He took down his headset. "Hey homies, what are

    He was angry that he kept her in captivity for days. He scanned for the kill switch. He hoped he would not trigger any alarm, silent or loud. He spotted Elaine too and had mixed feelings. Elaine reached out and curled her hand. Betraying her father's trust and letting her friend's love out. Or betraying her Zack's trust by leaving her in. What if she was a mimic. He didn't know she was here. She heard metal clamouring on the other side and hid. Bart arrived with his clipboard whistling. "Oh, you're awake."Gwen exhaled, 'I'm going to regret this.' "Excuse me?"Bart was surprised. "You just talked! Tell me, do you have the ability to mimic speech?""I'll tell you everything you need to know about my home planet. Including myself."Bart looked back. "Let me get Denise.""No, I only want to speak with you. I feel safer. Just open the pod, it feels cramped in here."Bart shook like an eager teenage boy."Please Bart, please? We can both get what we want."He didn't hesitate. "What do you

    Zack lowered his head on the table alone at the office. His two favourite things, sitting still and doing nothing. He was having bills stacked up on each other by the day and he had to pay his bills. He needed sustenance. If he didn't get enough calories then he wouldn't be able to function properly.He heaved a sigh impatient, the end of the month seemed very far away. He checked his views and whatnot. 8k likes and 304k views. He tapped his lip with a fountain pen and began to type erratically."Hi!""Ah!" He touched his chest. "Novalie, what are you doing here?""Oh, just checking up on you." She moved around his desk."I'm fine now, please leave. I'm really busy." He frowned.She pulled up his laptop. He stopped her."This is an invasion of my privacy.""As if you care about that. You check up on everyone all the time." She said."Doesn't mean you should do this.""So you're wasting precious time watching clips?"He felt insecure. But on the outside he looked like he couldn't care a

    "You got me good but anyone can make an educated guess and still be right."He held her and stopped the bus, he got home and Mort stood back with Amir who pulled down his eyelid and did a raspberry.Zack brought her to him. "Surprise?" He said grinning.Mort grabbed her. "What were you thinking?" "I'll explain later. I gotta go." He jogged back to work. He went to work sweaty and Mr Brunner spoke to an important businessman. He got several burritos and the vendor was looking at him funny."Zack, where have you been?""Ah, I brought snacks.""All right, Trevor."They took their share and Zack looked depressed. "That was my lunch."Novalie overheard that and raised her eyebrows."Our lunch of course. Thanks for having my back."She curled her hand. "No thanks necessary. It's no big deal.""Was it? I kinda thought it was." He said.She scoffed. "Back to work mode."Zack brushed his face. He was ready for some action but he wasn't going out anytime soon. "Would you like to have dinner?

    He let Novalie out first and he met Gwen at the porch.She frowned at Novalie. "Zack, what are you doing here so late at night? With her?""This is my coworker." He said grinning. "Price. Price, this is Gwen."Novalie eyed her thoughtfully. "Pleased to meet you." Gwen shook her hand firmly. "Likewise."Novalie let go. "You have a firm grip. I'll see you when I see you, Zack. I had a nice time."Gwen fumed in anger."Is something wrong?""I see you have other priorities.""It isn't what it looks like.""Oh no, you don't have to explain yourself. I understand perfectly." She said curtly."You do? Perfect, what are you doing here anyway." "I had dinner just across the street and I happened to see you.""Oof. Am I missing something?""Did you have this dinner in mind?""Actually, I was kind of hungry and she asked me out. I agreed.""Is that so? Was it before or after I asked?""That was after, geez, nothing to it. No need to get so worked up. I said no.""I am not overwhelmed, I just ne

This man's stealing my purse!" The lady shouted raising the alarm.The man was physically stronger.A girl screamed in the background. "Thief!""Jesus, let go, woman!" He seemed terrorized that people would catch him. Zack noticed the man's eyes flying both ways to the crowd, to the girl, he turned pale. He softened succumbing on his own and at the knight coming. He couldn't seem to leave the lady.Zack rushed towards them and he pushed the man into a bench. "Oof!" He handed the purse to the lady who smiled. "Thanks, pal, you're a real one." She said running away."Don't worry folks, your saviour has arrived!" "My purse!" The girl shouted. "Dad! The bad man let

    Zack wanted to leave a mark but he was afraid that he would go down with the authorities. It was against the law to distribute without a license but there were so many starving.He felt like he was being drawn from different directions. He couldn't bring himself to close up, but Vorax told him they would have to keep this a secret but to what end? He was paralyzed, they wanted different things.He gave out foodstuff and passed out water. He watched the cameras as a man in a white robe approached."Do you know who this is?" Vorax could have not been more paler. He kept his composure and arrived at the door.Zack approached the door."Open up at once."The security guards were infuriated."We did not approve of this activity."Vorax glanced at Zack.

    The lieutenant colonel and the rest of the MST joined Gwen and they watched the ship leave. She turned off her comms. Hoping she didn't make a mistake by letting him go.Echo, Lance and Raymond gathered. "I've done a research_""Since when?" Raymond asked recovering."Since now. He was right. We're going after him." Lance said.Raymond felt guilty for betraying Zack.... Zack watched space, it was incredibly dark. He smiled at the galaxies. "This will never get old." He expected a blow to the head but Vorax joined him."It's nothing new."He gazed at the interiors. "So this is what it feels like to be inside of Zoldor." "You'll get used to it." Zack retorted.Vorax glanced at him and his eyes crinkled. They stood in the awkward silence."So, how long have you been on combat training?""A millennium.""How old are you?""2500, that's 25 in the Terran time zone.""You're 25?""Is that wrong?" He asked."Do you think it's wrong?" Zack watched him intrigued. He waited as he put the Zo

    "Of course not, you can trust me.""Well, you're wrong for taking their side. Your people can be wrong too." He said walking faster."You're giving it away after all you've been through?""I know, I just need to have a little faith." He said. "Besides the videos."She shut her eyes. "Oh...You're going against everything you've stood for just to help someone you barely even know. You're risking your career.""I don't have time for this. I don't stand for this either, I'm on his side and there's nothing they or you can do about it."He focused on the camera and left."Who are they?" Gwen folded her arms.He walked away from her. Zack approached Vorax alone, the behemoths turned their heads and parted ways when he walked boldly and swiftly towards Vorax who was sitting on a chair. He didn't know what he was grappling with.He had to save the Thegronians against all odds."I suppose your way did not work," Vorax said.Zack dropped his kit in the ship. He was done talking.

    Zack watched the images of his predecessors by flicking a button. He recalled what Deuce had said to him, he didn't seem pleased. "I lost." He buried his head inbetween his knees. He frowned clenching his hand. He couldn't just sit there and sulk. He hefted a sword swinging it. He wouldn't let Vorax beat him so easily."Combat mode." The sparring bots emerged from their chambers to attack him, their eyes flashed red running at him.Zack kicked back to dodged the shots. Gwen watched as he ravaged through the hourde swinging the staff. He jumped mildly twisting his body to stab the bot. He grabbed one by the core and squeezed it. Throwing it against the metallic wall, it dented. Another tossed a rock at him. He flipped over its head and he blasted it with a watch. He twisted kicking another. It had him in a crossbody position. Zack yanked its arm off causing himself to fall upside down. He grabbed its head inbetween his legs and tossed it to the wall. Gwen arrived at the control r

    Zack had a lot to accomplish. He couldn't act with his colleagues. He rushed towards Lance who watched from afar.In the arena secluded for training. Zack and Lance exchanged blows and their swords clashed.Zack flipped over his head and landed on the tip of his toes. He gasped gazing at the tear on his suit."I am the fastest thing alive." Lance boasted grinning.Echo rolled her eyes watching from the nosebleed.Gwen watched biting her lower lip."What do you even see in that guy? He's obviously fighting a losing battle."Gwen frowned acknowledging it but she couldn't help it. "You're doing great."Zack held up his buffer barely registering her words. He knew Lance was holding back. None of it felt satisfactory. He gave it all he had to see how sharp his reflexes were.Lance waved a hand to his mouth yawning and he blocked his fist. Tossing him to the other side. He turned to the girls. "I am the greatest gladiator in all of Morphius_"Zack punched him. Lance landed on his face."Tha

    Amidst the solitude, Zack sat alone in his spacious house, the silence around him as heavy as the weight he was about to lift. Echo, once his constant companion, had also ventured into the world of employment, leaving Zack with his thoughts. He decided to fill the empty wall with inspiration, pinning a poster of his favorite bodybuilder as a daily reminder of his goals.With determination burning in his eyes, Zack grasped the dumbbells, ready to push himself to new limits. "I'm gonna get stronger. Better," he muttered as he launched into his workout.Each rep felt like a step closer to his aspirations, and with each record-breaking lift, Zack's motivation soared.

    Zack and Gwen arrived at the house, their eyes taking in the impressive sight before them. "Pretty wild, isn't it?" Zack commented, his excitement palpable.Gwen glanced at the well-maintained lawn and the spacious garage. "It's beautiful," she replied, her voice filled with admiration.They stepped inside, exploring each room with curiosity. "Five bedrooms," Zack noted, mentally calculating the potential."That's a fair deal," Gwen muttered, her mind already sorting through financial plans.Zack leaned closer to her, his voice lowered. "Say, 10-14 years, and I'll be out of debt," he whispered."Why are you whispering?" Gwen asked, puzzled by his privacy. Her question echoed in the empty room, eliciting a chuckle from Zack.He rolled his eyes playfully and gestured towards a walk-in closet. "We have a walk-in closet too," he declared, attempting to change the subject."Why didn't you tell me you were getting a house?" Gwen questioned, a mix of surprise and annoyance in her voice."Beca
