Xander And The Blaze 34...Hack...
Jeremy's fingers danced across the screen, swiftly typing even as the screen began to show fading numbers, but he was determined to unlock the door and rescue the professor, so he pressed on. Heidi squinted at the faded numbers on screen "Can you even see the numbers?" Jeremy nodded a little "I'm trying"Alec, with his sharp eyesight, managed to catch a glimpse of the faint thumbprints on the number pads. "6, 1, 0 were pressed here before" he began, observing the fading lights,while Jeremy frowned in concentration, obviously trying to get something meaningful from the numbers Alex called. "3 as well" Alec continued "And 1... 2, 4..." "Is that the arrangement?" Heidi asked. Alec shook his head "I'm not entirely sure, but those were the numbers previously entered as codes."Jeremy's eyes slightly narrowed as he began to connect the dots. He then blinked. "Those are hexadecimal codes. I just need to arrange them correctly"Jeremy punched in some numbers, but it only triggered a bri
Xander And The Blaze 35...Fight Rick...
Alec eyed Shadowborne, and a part of him admired his confidence and the power that radiated around him."So you are really the Shadowborne," Alec said with fierceness, now gradually dripping in his voice and mentally preparing himself to fight him."I am" Shadowborne replied, still using the robotic voice programmed with the suit. He looked down at Rick, who was still not up on his feet. "Stand up, Rick, don't be useless."Rick managed to stand to his feet and steady himself on the ground."Alec has met Shadowborne" Heidi said to the others, her heart racing in fear."I wish I met him too, I wanna see the guy I won in the hacking game" Jeremy said with a grin and Heidi threw him a hard look that shut him up. "Tell Alec through the earpiece to leave that building now!" Prof Smith ordered managing to pace in front of the car despite the bad state of his body. Worry was evident in his voice "Alec is just having a nice chat with Shadowborne" Jeremy said lightly. "Shadowborne does not
Xander And The Blaze 36...Burning building...
"Alec?" Jeremy called loudly through the earpiece but got no response from him. "Alec can you hear me?" Jeremy bit his lip hard when he still didn't get any response "Fuck! Alec you're scaring me!" Jeremy whispered, fear evident in his voice. Heidi stood frozen, staring at the screen of the laptop, refusing to believe what she just saw. There were no human traces on the screen anymore, just fire and ashes, which the bomb had caused. No one could go near the fire since they can't handle heat like Alec.Alec was struggling where he was. He managed to get to his feet and used his speed to evade the fires, but still got slowed down and affected by the intense heat greater than his super heat powers and also the force of the explosion, which created a turbulent environment, making it harder for Alec to use his speed.Jeremy rubbed his forehead, shutting his eyes briefly, trying to think of what to do, but nothing came to his head. "Maybe he'll survive the fire since he's got super heat" h
Xander And The Blaze 37...Like an insect..
Alec was physically okay, but emotionally down. Failing a mission really ruined his mood and even with his determination to take down Shadowborne, he ended up failing. He didn't meet his dad home and guess he was still at work then. He went straight into his bedroom and clumped on the bed with a sigh. "Xander" He called slowly with a low voice. "Yes, Alec, how may I help you?" Xander answered instantly. Alec sighed again. "I did everything I could to take Shadowborne down, and even after going through that intense fire, my next level of power remained locked" "Yes, Alec. You never accomplished a single part of the mission hence the reason a single part of your next powers was not unlocked"Alec rubbed his forehead "This man is intelligent with a lot of powers, how am I supposed to face him next time if my powers remain at this level?" "How you face him next time is up to you, Alec" Xander replied in its usual emotionless voice. "Get out, Xander" Alec ordered under his breath.
Xander And The Blaze 38...Visit...
The screen displayed various recorded videos and a captured image of the superhuman for the HEP center members to analyze and study."Well, let's take a look at it. He's not causing any trouble," Alec said, pointing to the screen showing a recorded video of the superhuman soaring through the sky."Yet." Prof Smith interjected firmly, his right hand stretched out for demonstration. "But he's just enjoying himself, you know? If he were a troublemaker, we would be dealing with unconscious people by now," Jeremy explained, and Alec's expression showed his agreement."So what you're saying is that we should wait for people to get unconscious before we take this seriously?" Prof asked with a hard tone, scoffing. "We can't wait for him to harm others before we start taking action." He pointed to the screen displaying the tiny image of the flying superhuman on the hospital building. "Look at him, those powers...""Do you know him from somewhere?" Heidi asked in her tiny voice. "What? Know h
Xander And The Blaze 39...INSECT...
Prof Smith and Alec returned to the HEP center looking gloomy, especially Prof Smith. "We visited her ex-husband, Greg, but he wasn't the one causing trouble" Prof Smith informed, staring into space."Yeah" Alec sighed "There's really someone dangerous out there," Alec added, turning his eyes to the tiny image of the superhuman on the screen. "He killed Greg."Heavy silence fell in the room as Jeremy and Heidi slowly processed Alec's last sentence. "Okay, so let me get this straight, alright?" Jeremy broke the quietness, his hands moving for demonstrations " This guy went after Greg and killed him after flying over the top of the hospital building where your girlfriend is," Jeremy said, staring at Prof Smith."Jeremy," Prof Smith called out slowly, "My friend, not girlfriend," Prof Smith corrected with a dull tone. "And yeah, this superhuman... he..." Prof Smith paused, a thoughtful expression on his face. "He is connected to both Kris and Greg, so he's not exactly following Shadowb
Xander And The Blaze 40...Fight Insect...
The way the superhuman reminded Alec of his name rang in Alec's head. There was a tone to the way he called his name; Alec had never heard any of the villains he'd fought in the past use that tone. Then there was the mark on Greg's neck. The image flashed to Alec's head, and then the image of the Insect's claws shooting out also flashed to his head."Insect, seriously?" Jeremy said as he tapped on the iPad in his hands. "I keep hearing weirder shits everyday; like, how the hell do these guys come up with their crazy names?""Movement is one crazy name; now it's Insect," Heidi added."Guys?" Prof Smith called through the earbug, his phone in his hand. He was still in the hospital but he made sure he was following with every activities going on in and outside the centre. He was watching a video sent to him earlier from the HEP centre. "I watched the video and I observed quite a few things" he said. Alec folded his arms across his chest, ready to listen. Prof Smith still holding his p
Xander And The Blaze 41...Different...
Heidi watched Jeremy tap rapidly and furiously on the system with hard, serious eyes. There was not a single smile on his face. She chewed her lips, knowing he was upset. I am upset about everything going on. The problem coming from the new superhuman is the fight between him and Alec, especially the last one.Heidi moved closer to Jeremy's side and placed a hand on his hard back."What?" He snapped when he felt a hand making contact with his back. He halted his finger on the keyboard and raised his head to face Heidi."Geez, don't bark at me." Heidi said, rolling her eyes.Jeremy focused back on the keyboard while Heidi took her hand off his back."You can talk to him and settle your differences instead of fighting with the keyboard," Heidi suggested, smiling a little.Jeremy's frown deepened, and the rapid movement of his fingers on the keyboard also increased. "I am not fighting with the keyboard."Heidi chuckled, but the laugh wasn't loud."It's not funny! Okay?!" Jeremy yelled th

53...Bullies...
In the cafeteria filled with hums and laughter, Alec and Jeremy sat calmly, observing the activities as they ate together. "You see that girl with a flat ass?" Jeremy described, gesturing his head towards a girl laughing with one of the football players in the school. "Alec turned his head towards the direction Jeremy was gesturing to. "Yeah?" He took in her appearance "Was she one of the bullies?" "Yep" Jeremy answered, popping the 'p' in the word "That's Belinda." The name sounded familiar to Alec "The girl telling everyone that Kara still loves Milo?" "Exactly" Jeremy's reply was fast. Alec's stare lingered on her before he turned his head back to Jeremy and sighed, pulling some strands of his hair "I can't fight a girl" "Of course I know that, but I know you wanna see the faces of the dickheads bullying your girlfriend" Alec rolled his eyes, a playful smile on his face. "She is not my girlfriend" "Yet" Jeremy added firmly, grinning at him, then he saw someone that caught
52...Kara...
Alec's smile remained on his face as he walked alongside with Heidi towards the car. The image of Kara's face kept playing in his head. "The girl is beautiful" He whispered to no one in particular. Heidi rolled her eyes and got in the backseat of the car, folding her arms across her full chest, Alec also got inside the car, but he took the passenger seat. "Today is really a great day. You get to beat up that guy and get noticed by his girlfriend, isn't that shit great?" Jeremy commented energetically as he started the car. Alec remembered when Kara had yelled at Milo that she was not his girlfriend. She also mentioned that they broke up. "Kara is not his girlfriend" Alec told his friends. Milo turned his head sideways to look at Alec "For real?" His brows were knitted. Alec smiled sympathetically as he recalled the way Milo treated her. "Milo is sick." "But..." Jeremy wet his lips with his tongue like he was mulling over something "Belinda told me Kara still loves Milo" "That

Alec's observing eyes fell on the two guys standing behind Milo like they were ready to support him if things went sideways. They were both tall and muscular with stern expressions. One of the guys had a lot of piercings while the other one had a lot of tattoos. Alec shook his head smilingly and turned around. He does not want to fight them. "Are you scared now?" Milo taunted, grabbing his arm. Alec looked down at the way Milo's hand wrapped tightly around his arm and looked up at Milo's face with a smile stretching the side of his lips. "I don't wanna fight you" Alec mumbled, his eyes going straight into Milo's. "Well, I wanna fight you" Milo spoke with arrogance and confidence. Alec chuckled softly and snatched his arm from Milo's tight grip. He began to wall off, shaking his head. Milo was still not ready to accept defeat. "Seize him!!" Milo ordered the two guys behind him and they obeyed instantly. They took long strides towards Alec to catch him by his arm and dragged him
50...Milo...
The girl with the blonde hair was standing near the staircase, glaring hard at a tall, sturdy guy who was holding her by the wrist. The guy looked older and intimidating with his neat beard and locks of dyed hair. He also looked rich with his expensive gold wristwatch, rings, necklace, glistening on his smooth skin. Alec's eyes moved between the guy and the girl, watching as they argued about something, then his eyes later landed on the girl, focusing on her alone. She looked so familiar to Alec. He could swear he'd seen her somewhere before he can't just point out the exact place he'd seen her.He narrowed his eyes at the her, trying to remember where he'd seen her.At a party? He does not even attend parties often. He only attends when being forced. School? He does not think so, although he does not even know or remember the faces of most people at his school. Work? No fucking way in hell. She does not work at HEP centre. Alec racked his brain and soon, it clicked. She was
49...Blonde...
Alec looked like someone who had been threatened to have his private part cut off if he does not attend a party. His handsome face was having no smile or friendliness on it. He kept glaring at everyone and everything that came his way. Jeremy had used all measures to make sure Alec surely attends the party. "Remember, don't push the girls away tonight" Jeremy reminded Alec as they strolled into the building. Alec rolled his eyes "You said that like fifty times already" He exaggerated. "No, It's just five times, dude" Jeremy said, looking serious."And are you sure its not more than five times?" Heidi asked, raising her brows. "Of course!" Jeremy exclaimed, gesticulating with his hands "I only said that five times, not fifty times" Alec rolled his eyes again in a way to say 'whatever'. The party was already in full mode that Alec's jaw dropped like he was attending a party for the first time. Everyone was wild. Everywhere was loud. Everyone went crazy. "Oh, my, God." Alec call
48...Best friend...
Prof smith stood at the entrance of the warm house, his feet glued to the front of the door. Kris unlocked the door and invited him in with a bright smile but he shook his head at her, staying fixed at the entrance. "You should at least stay for lunch, I need to show my appreciation" She said persuasively, but Prof smith smiled and shook his head again. "Eric" she called him by his first name looking displeased. "I'm sorry Kris, maybe another time. I have to get back to work" He said. Insect, also Isaiah, passed his baby to his brother, smiling softly at him and then turned to Prof smith who still stood at the entrance of the door. Isaiah cleared his throat awkwardly "Thank you for everything" Prof smith smiled with his eyes and patted his left shoulder gently. "You should appreciate your aunt, she's a great mother for not giving up on you" Prof Smith said, turning his face at Kris to beam at her. She also smiled back. Isaiah narrowed his eyes, looking around like he was searc
47...Father...
Insect stared at his brother then at his aunt, trying to study them to know if they were saying the truth. "He's got a baby?" Alec commented through the earpiece in his suit. "I'm also surprised" Prof Smith said quietly, staring at the baby in his arms. When Israel had given him the baby to hold minutes ago, Prof Smith had thought the father of the baby was Israel but now he knew it was Isaiah. "My baby is alive?" Insect asked again. They both nodded"But, but...." Insect blinked in confusion, finding it hard to form a sensible sentence "How's that possible?" He whispered. "We had to fake the baby's death to keep her alive" Israel said softly. "Now stop all these, Isaiah. You won't want your baby to see you this way." Aunt Kris gestured her hands towards him "You dont want to be viewed as a murdered by your baby" Insect shook his head slowly, trying to suppress the growing power of wickedness inside him. "I am not a murderer" "We know" Aunt Kris said softly. "We know you're st
46...Isaiah...
Insect held Greg's son tightly by his arm with his claws, while the guy pleaded for his life. But Insect didn't listen."I have been begging, please," the guy said shakily.Insect tightened his grip, feeling annoyed by the guy's last sentence. The guy cried out in agony."Nooooo!!! Pleaseeeee!!!" he begged desperately."When I begged you and your father, did you guys listen?" Insect finally spoke, his voice sending chills down the guy's spine as he recognized it immediately."Is that...." he trailed off, breathing heavily. "It can't be true. It can't be."Insect laughed evilly and confidently. "Really, Tommy?"The guy, shocked, realized that only one person called him Tommy instead of 'Tom.' "Isaiah?" he called out Insect's real name in surprise.Insect smirked and shook his head. "I AM INSECT!!"Aunt Kris turned fearfully to Prof Smith, her voice trembling. "Please, tell the Blaze not to harm him when he arrives," she pleaded."Why? The Blaze has to confront this guy," Prof Smith res
45...Building...
Alec's last sentence, announcing Greg's son's disappearance, didn't sit well with everyone."Now, I don't know where Insect took Greg," Alec said through the earpiece, getting frustrated.Prof Smith bit his lower lip hard, folding his arms across his chest to think.Jeremy rubbed his palm over his face, blinking rapidly. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," he cursed under his breath. "Insect is just so fucking troublesome! I wish I could punch him!"Heidi teased Jeremy with a smile. "You can only wish, you know you can't punch him." Then she turned serious to talk to Alec."Listen..." Her voice was firm. "It's not too late to save another person. You can still save Insect's mother from him.""Where does Insect's mother live? Do you have any idea about that?" Prof Smith asked, looking between Kris and the guy beside her."She moves from place to place," Kris replied, biting her lip as she thought."You could say from marriage to marriage. That's her specialty," the guy beside her added, scrunching up
