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
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
Insect stood at the entrance of the building, glaring at the glassy door. His face was not clearly seen as it was partially concealed with mask. It covered the sides of his face, and that showed the mystery and danger around him. His presence created fear in everyone inside the building. No one could go out or go in."Come out now, Aunt Kris!!" He called loudly in a mocking voice. "Or are you scared of your little boy now?"Kris held Prof Smith's hand tightly, obviously scared, as she kept hearing Insect voice from the entrance of the building."Come out nowwww...." He sang then his grin disappeared "Let's talk out here now before I make you come out!" He yelled."Maybe I should go" Kris said to Prof Smith, who quickly shook his head at her idea."No," Prof. Smith strongly disagreed."But I can't just stay here! I think he needs help." Her voice was shaking.Prof. Smith held her shoulders gently to assure her "Stay here" He said firmly "Help will arrive soon to handle this, okay?"Kr
Alec waited anxiously for Xander's response, his eyes fixed on Insect. He sprinted towards the building where Insect was, leaping with his superhuman speed."You have to put in the work to unlock your powers," Xander replied, addressing Alec's earlier request. "You have to tap into your inner strength, determination, and training hard, both physically and mentally.""Alec, did I hear you mention unlocking flying powers?" Jeremy asked in a hushed tone, feeling a bit awkward since they hadn't resolved their previous issues.Alec took a moment to respond, swiftly evading one of Insect's extending claws by flinging it away with his arms. "Yeah," he replied to Jeremy, still surprised to hear him speak up. "I'm trying to reach Insect's level, but I just can't fly like him."Jeremy pondered, tapping his chin thoughtfully. "Maybe you don't have to fly exactly like him to reach him."Alec paused, his attention fully focused on Jeremy's words."Have you ever considered trying to levitate?" Jere
Alec rushed to the edge of the building, his heart pounding. He spotted the girl suspended in mid-air, her terrified screams echoing through the air as she descended towards the ground.Shaking his head, Alec knew he couldn't let her die. He quickly devised a plan and swiftly descended the building. As he landed on the ground, he glanced upwards and saw the girl still floating in the air. Time was running out, and he had to save her."Alec, remember, your speed can help you levitate," a voice echoed in his mind."But I can't just run around aimlessly. I need to position myself beneath her to save her," Alec replied, determined.Suddenly, an idea sparked in Jeremy's mind. "The 360 run. How about you run in circles to stay in one spot?"Alec nodded, understanding the plan, and wasted no time. He started sprinting in circles, his speed increasing with each lap. Soon, his body crackled with electricity, a sign of his power building up.Harnessing the electric energy, Alec lifted himself i
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
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
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
