2004, MAINLAND HOSPITAL, MARYLAND,LAGOS STATE.The nurses wheeled the pregnant lady in on a stretcher,the sky that night was exceptionally dark and it rained heavily with mighty and loud thunder storms banging repeatedly. The woman kept her lips shut,trying to contain her screams,screams of the baby pushing against her womb,she knew it was time to deliver and the child wasn't joking either. Her husband entered into the hospital with a three year old Dare who had his favorite toy in hand, soon enough,they were inside the delivery room. It was there the doctor stepped in and they began the delivery."Daddy,is Mom going to be okay?" Dare asked his father who had an anxious look. The older man looked down at his son,smiled for a moment and returned his gaze on the ongoing process."Yes,if we hope and pray so." He replied. While that was going on,a huge commotion sounded on the roof of a building and down was Shadow who looked like he was just battered. The rain beat down on his dangerou

CIA HEADQUARTERS,LAGOS STATE."So right now,we've got two enemies." Chelsea reasoned. The guys had returned and the turn of events wasn't news to anyone there. "I swear,I feel they're working together...Scorpio and this Shadow." Dare said."Probably." Stella whispered,still having that suspicion for BossP in her mind."So what's the next line of action?" Gallagher asked. They all stared at him and acted like he wasn't even there."I'll go run some checks on the computers again guys." Tom said and left the room. Just then,BossP walked in angrily.They all except for Gallagher saluted him and stood at ease."Thanks for the greetings but there's something more." He replied."What's it?" Lexi asked."The President called me and I'm afraid it's bad news." He said."Bad news,okay let's hear it." Stella said."*Sighs*,he's making an announcement addressing the issue. He's going to announce the existence of Metahumans." He stated."What? That's crazy." Lexi complained."I also said that but
OPPOSITES Hostages
Deji was in the living room, staring outside the window. As he saw that his mother had left for work,he ran to his room and picked his phone up,then he dialed Dare's number and the latter picked up.He immediately requested for Polo's validation and the latter confirmed it,then he hung up."Polo." He whispered to his phone."Yes,Deji Adebayo?" Polo replied in a familiar voice and not the normal AI voice he expected."Hey Polo,I think I need your help." He said."Yes,if you would state your request." Polo replied."Okay,of recent,I realized I'm a Metahuman,sometimes my body just gets to a phantom state and I become some sort of Shadow. Of recent,I realized I could run faster than a car and also lift one up. Please,I really need your help." He said."Okay,I just completed the scan on your body. I've detected immense distribution of dark matter in your body and with your symptoms,it's deduced that you're a Metahuman." It replied."Wow,great." He said."But I strongly advice that you con
OPPOSITES Time to be a hero
.Dare was still in the office,going through the files. He had now seen the records of Shadow's previous attacks,including a massacre in Kenya in 2002,he shut the computer down and got up. He walked out of the office and bumped into Chelsea who was walking the Opposite way. "Hey,gotta watch out." He told her and made to leave. She held his arm and pulled him back,staring at him for a few seconds."Where you being mean?" She asked. He wanted to speak but it seemed the question had choked him. He found it hard to reply."Is it because Gallagher is here? That's why you've decided to not talk to me?" She asked. He sighed and faced upwards then down to her."See Chelsea,I just don't want to endanger you again. I know the hell I went through last week and I'm not ready to bear the same again." He replied. She stared at his black eyes and scoffed."You're lying,you just decided to ignore me because you think Gallagher is my boyfriend and you're also jealous." She said. He felt awkward havin
OPPOSITES Compromised
It was morning and the guys had just awoken,they were actually in the SSS facilities since going to Lagos at the time they passed out was not an option. Kabala frowned and walked towards the door,only to see that BossP, Superintendent Charles Okoye,Mark, Bella and Robin Khan were all in a deep,silent mood,all not uttering a word. Following him were Dare,Lexi and Tom who all wondered why they were frowning."It's great to see you're up guys." BossP welcomed with a smile that soothed them but that didn't stop them from worrying,they all had a hunch that something terrible had happened and they weren't willing to talk to them about it. "Is something wrong?" Kabala asked. "Nothing compared to Shadow's appearance,it's just that the news and the occurrence yesterday has sparked a global topic, people are already going crazy and the president is under investigation." He replied. Their eyes widened as he mentioned the ongoing crisis,it had been due to the issue and probably Scorpio's spe
OPPOSITES A new personality
Scorpio sat before the shack they were hiding the ladies,deeply conversed in his thoughts. He was beginning to attain a height of power and he felt it. He only felt a bit intimidated by Shadow but that wasn't a problem for him,he was going to have his powers soon,it was only a matter of time.Then his thoughts drifted to the vice president,he laughed at the man's stupidity. He only wished he'd get the job over soon so he'll kill the Vice President and be the one to take the mantle of leadership for his dream,an army of Metahumans all under him,treating him as the king he deserves to be. Suddenly a change in the atmosphere aroused him from his thoughts and he sniffed the air. With a crooked smiled,he got up."They're here." ..."Hey guys,check this out." Dare informed Lexi and Tom who had just walked in. He, Kabala and BossP were all standing before the huge monitor,watching the breaking news."WE INTERRUPT THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM FOR BREAKING NEWSFollowing the controversial revelat
OPPOSITES Narrow escape
Dare and Kabala landed on the outskirts of a small settlement, covered in dust. They both got up and scanned the environment,realizing that this was some forest. They wondered if Scorpio was still there and whether Stella was also with Scorpio or was in another location "So I guess we move then?" Dare sai "Yeah,let's just tread silently,I don't know this place." Kabala replied. Dare nodded in affirmation and they both walked on,fast and light "So Dare,how is your relationship with Chelsea?" Kabala asked. Dare sighed,this was the second time he had been asked the same question. He wondered if the gang was just teasing him or he was overthinking things. Never the less,he had to reply to his frien "We're not in a relationship." He replied stubbornl "I know but I heard she was mad at you yesterday,did you do anything wrong?" He aske "Not really. I was kind of jealous,she realized, overreacted and is mad at me." He replie "You were jealous of the white kid?" Kabala asked,forcing hims
OPPOSITES Sadness
Deji sat in his room,wondering what was going on with his life. It was barely a week after he had realized his powers and he was already exposed. He looked the screen of his phone,his jaw dropped in amazement with the headline."SUPPOSED VILLAIN TURNED HERO. A NEW TURN?" He knew they had mistaken him for Shadow and wished he could clarify things but he couldn't,he was just stuck there. Then his mind drifted to his brother,Dare. He wondered how he was faring. They hadn't contacted each other for over 24 hours. With a look of despair,he fell back and covered himself with the duvet. Suddenly a notification sounded and he checked it,if was a voice note from Dare. Eagerly he played it and it voiced."Hey bro,how're you doing? I just wanted to know if you, Mom,Dad and Bisola are alright. Well,I'm off on a mission now and I'm scared,I don't know if I'll make it back but I want you to do something for me,stay strong. I'm not sure if you're a meta but endeavor to always be good. Stay good ki
