Silence befell the entire town hall when Marion County's Mayor, Bill Andrews, and the top Prosecutor, Levi Adams showed up. It was Chase's whole idea, he had his dad discuss with the town's Mayor about providing food and shelter until every damaged house was rebuilt.

"Sorry for coming late, everyone," Bill Andrews began addressing the crowd, "every one of us suffered at the giants' outbreak. Half the population of this city/town has everything and I am here to be of help as it is my duty. Temporal homes will be provided for the homeless and with the help of the government, their houses will be rebuilt within six weeks. Forms will go round for those who are interested."

Some people were elated at this whilst some weren't. They had lost their loved ones as well.

After the Mayor's speech, Cheques in envelopes were shared amongst these people and it was at that moment Harriet Calhoun caught the eye of Prosecutor Adams. The man immediately left his side and walked over to meet with Novemb

Because it was certain things were faulty on his part.

November didn't even have his super suit on to communicate with Ann, else things would have been easy for him."So I'm going to remain here?" He questioned

    Sheriff Brightside woke up the next morning with a migraine. "Good thing you're up, you're late for work," Macey said from where she was on his study desk, going through her system."What the hell happened?" Sheriff Brightside asked and then groaned in pain because it seemed as though his headache was lengthening to the whole of his body."You went drinking last night, got drunk and you couldn't even come home. The bartender had to call Quentin to come to pick you up." Macey informed him and then shook her head at him."Shit." Sheriff Brightside hissed and managed to get off the bed. He couldn't remember drinking that much."I put your alarm off, wanted you to sleep until your body decided it was enough," Quentin came into the room, slowly eating from a granola bar, "Christ, you look like shit, dad." His eyes rose in their sockets when he took a good look at his father."And I feel like shit," Sheriff Brightside dragged his feet to the bathroom to wash up."Hey, have you noticed somet

    Harriet Calhoun knew her son way too well but right now the way he was talking to her was as if he was a stranger. She took a good look at her son and wondered if he had been infected with an alien virus or something because he seemed so and very weird.Even his silence was disturbing. She carried November in her eyes womb for nine months, gave birth to him, fed him and watched him grow and during all those years, she never felt such strange energy from him. She couldn't even tell if she was imagining things."Mom, why are you staring at me like that?" The fake November asked his Harriet Calhoun, feigning innocence. He was uncomfortable from the way she kept staring at him in silence and through a squint. It was as if she had detected something."What do you mean by that? Don't I have the right to look at you? You're my son." Harriet Calhoun breathed out and messaged her temples. She just could not put up with the way that she felt about him.He maintained some distance between them an

    When November's eyes fluttered that morning, he was expecting it all to be a dream and that he was at home. It was when he opened his eyes that he saw himself still at the desert, alone. It was so fucking upsetting for him, to remain stuck in there when there were so much things that needed to be done in Marion county. November felt exasperated, he wanted to yell out his lungs but he doubt he had the strength to do so."Shit," he cursed aloud and rose to his feet from the place he had slept. He had slept on the dessert sand throughout the night, after being way too frustrated from his ill-stinking luck.Just two days ago, he had been fighting the giants with some other quirky teens. No one knew his quirks would start malfunctioning and he would end up there. The twin holes hadn't still been covered as they had no idea if more humans were trapped there, but November knew for sure that more aliens resided there.The way the walls had so many closely packed holes and how hideous the rest

    November was slowly dying of thirst and hunger. He had had nothing to eat or drink for the past twenty hours. He felt weak to the bone and neither could he make use of his quirks since they decided they wouldn't work in his favor anymore.He was like a madman who lived in the desert, with torn clothes and skin stained with dust. His hair was a mess, his eyes felt itchy from the harsh sun and his throat felt dry, despite having salivated a couple of times to get it.November wondered what crime he ever committed to suffer like that when all he did was to be of help to the entire Marion county. He knew his mom and sister were worried about him but unknown to him that Sebastian had already taken his form and was living as him. November wondered how things were back in Marion county. If his mom and Sheriff Brightside had decided to form a search party to go find him.He thought Macey, Sebastian, and Captain would be worried about him. He thought about Chase too.He had been walking for a

    "Who are you?""Chase Adams, the son of prosecutor Adams," Chase replied and clenched his fist. The limousine was in front of Atticus' lab and the soldiers were back at their post.They took one good look at Chase and upon seeing the resemblance with Prosecutor Adams, they realized it was true."Why are you here?""To see Doctor Hemmingway, I have an appointment with him," And then the soldiers went silent. Chase was impatient, he knew if they wouldn't let him in he'd have plan B. By setting them on fire with his quirk.They let him, after staring from him to his driver and his driver to him. And when the driver stopped the car in the driveway, his men pulled Captain out of the car, whilst the soldiers watched and wondered what the boy was in for.Chase's men took Captain into Atticus' lab and up to Doctor Hemmingway's office, with Chase leading the way. Right at the door, two soldiers were guarding it and Chase knew Doctor Hemmingway had company, which obviously wasn't a good time.

    Macey let the fake November kiss her for some time before she pushed him away from her because something seemed off about him.Quentin was right."What was that for, I thought you wanted this?" He looked at her innocently whilst Macey just shook her head and paced back and forth."It doesn't feel right.""Kissing me?""How so easy you are with me, November. This isn't you," she pointed out, standing right in his face, "I've known you to never give into things easily. Either you're trying to use me or your quirks are still malfunctioning."The fake November chuckled, put his hand on his mouth, and bit into it as he looked at Macey."Why would I ever want to use you?" He asked at last.And Macey turned her back to him."I don't know. For selfish reasons because you know that I like you?""I like you too, I thought I made it clear."Macey just shook her head at him incredulously because she knew November would never just admit a thing like that. A month ago, he didn't even care. Only jus

    This chapter is unedited."Captain, can you tell Doctor Hemmingway what he's thinking right now?" Chase asked Captain. "He's thinking about having you locked up in a sensory deprivation tank if I'm not the real person with the soul-shifting quirk." Captain said and then smirked at Doctor Hemmingway whose eyes were swollen in their sockets in shock.Doctor Hemmingway could barely believe what he just heard. It was the exact thing he had thought about, assuming Chase wasn't being honest. Chase on the other hand glared at Doctor Hemmingway, upon knowing that was what the man had in mind for him."And now, he's frightened. Wasn't expecting what I just did." Captain added, totally enjoying the tension radiating in the air."You know my father could kill you for this?" Chase directed this to Doctor Hemmingway."That's not true," Doctor Hemmingway denied, "he might have changed the order in my thoughts.""You're the one who isn't telling the truth, Doc," Chase went to stand right in his fa

Bradley didn't pay any attention to Sheriff Brightside who still held a grudge toward him for killing his deputy three months ago.Bradley was there because of November. Macey had managed to get her act together, she pulled November away from everyone so she could speak with him."Will you save people if aliens show up there?" She asked him, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear."Why, yes. I'm not the Mysterious N for nothing," November gave out a slight shoulder shrug then smiled at Macey."I'll take it that we wouldn't have been best friends if this alien invasion never took place?" "You're right. We were the weird and the bullied."Macey smiled but it didn't reach her eyes."And I have loved you this entire time," she confessed at last, stunning November who had his eyes raised in their sockets.He accidentally flew up to the sky, le

Something no one had expected because they were focused on how Marion county had been calm without any alien attacks in the past week.There were reporters and cops everywhere. Arresting scientists and taking shots of them.Nothing could be done at this because Commander Rodney Brown was assassinated the previous day and all his soldiers had evacuated from Atticus lab.

    159: To Avenge His Son

    Prosecutor Adams found his way into Chase's ward. It was late in the afternoon when he went there, because he had been choked up with work until he received the news.Tears welled up in his eyes when he saw his son on the hospital bed, covered in bandages with a breathing tube in his mouth.Chase who was vibrant, hothead and always did thing in his own way, looked almost dead. Had life support on him on that very day.It was the worse sight a father could ever see. Way too much for him to bear that he held onto the wall for support, because his legs threatened to give out underneath him.Prosecutor wondered who had done such a thing to his only son. Because it seemed as though they wanted to kill him. They completely destroyed his face.Who it could be. The man couldn't help but ponder deeply over this, whilst fighting against the urge to scream.It was way too much for him to handle that he fought against the urge to cry.

    Noah Allen was released the next day. Prosecutor Adams had made some arrangements and he was let out of the cell.He was glad because he had the power to do whatever he wanted. He just got arrested two days ago and now he was out.Unbeknownst that it took Prosecutor Adams quite a long time to convince the head people into telling Sheriff Brightside to free Noah.Sheriff Brightside was utterly disappointed. There was nothing he could do about it. His superiors had given him the order to release Noah Allen, but there was an incoming case in the following week. Because Scott had already filed a report. He had reached out to the families of Abulterin victims with help from Harriet Calhoun, November's mother.Sheriff Brightside was in a sour mood for the rest of that day, he had thought he would be able to keep Noah locked up there for a couple of weeks, but his superiors reproved this.The flashback of Macey on the floor, in the pool of her own blood was exasperating because it was Noah w

    157: Saving Chase Adams

    November wondered if his supersuit had been destroyed by his fake, until he found it at the exact spot he had left it seven days ago. He was relieved upon finding it and seeing that it was still intact, still new like the first time Styles gave it to him. He pulled it out immediately.And hurriedly wore it on and then went out to meet with Captain and Ivar who were already waiting for him.Upon seeing him like that, the others felt he was giving them the Mysterious N aura once more. Something which had been absent for days."Do you think it's necessary for me to come, I mean I'm not powerful like you two?" Captain raised his hands as he looked from November to Ivar and Ivar to November. He just didn't think he was capable of going to fight and rescues Chase. The way he had been chased by the many-faced alien was still haunting his mind and he didn't know what was in front."You'd be able to read minds and alert us what is about to happen. Shift souls if necessary," November provided,

    156: The Announcement

    "My mom said we're leaving by next week," November announced this to his squad later that evening. He had managed to get a grip of himself after his mom had spoken to him and told him to feel his emotions because he was a human and not a robot, "we'd be gone for good," he added."So soon?" Macey couldn't even hide the fact that she didn't settle well with this. She knew November was leaving but she didn't expect it to be next week. His announcement came off unexpected."We have no choice, there's too much baggage in this town already," November puffed out a low breath because there was no way he could say it in way it wouldn't upset them. He could see the dissappointment on their faces. It was clear they didn't want him to go, considering the incoming battle with Cyflac Pharmaceuticals. And then the twin holes on the field close to Macey's home was still open."So you want to just go like that? Despite everything?" Captain went over and stood in front of November with his arms folded

    "Let me out of here!" The Many-faced alien shifted into Sebastian and made use of his voice, wanting to fool November."I cannot believe there was never a Sebastian in the first place," Macey said with a huge frown on her face as she rubbed the side of her arm.Whilst November was just silent, not uttering a word because he didn't feel the need to. "This motherfucker has made us seen all hell and back," this was from Captain who pressed the red button once more and the Many-faced alien screamed, from getting tortured by the heat. He shifted into Captain's grandmother and slammed his fists on the glass walls, crying out loud. "Don't look at it, you'll be tempted to free it," Styles said from where he was in his wheelchair. They had managed to catch this alien after going through a whole lot.November curled his fingers into tight hard fists, refraining from punching into a nearby wall because he was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Sebastian never existed. It was t
