Jeremy walked over to the computer systems with Heidi by his side. The other members also got busy getting weapons and some of them planning with Heidi and Jeremy on how to take down the new threat, while Alec stood on a spot watching everyone.
Jeremy's eyes were hard with concentration as he operated on the computer system with fast fingers.
"Okay, let's see who we're gonna be dealing with"
He zoomed in on the super human so everyone could get a clear view of it.
"Alright. It's just a small guy, he doesn't even looks like he's got enough fighting skills. At least, he shouldn't be as strong and swift as Alec, and..." Jeremy paused and typed rapidly on the keyboard and narrowed his eyes "The guy destroyed mainly vehicles"
"But why?" Alec asked.
"That's a good question" Jeremy said, standing straight "Heidi, please keep your eyes on the screen, check up other things you can about this little guy, okay? I'm going with Alec to deal with the superhuman"
"You want me to go out there with you?" Alec asked pointing to himself. "This is a super human we're talking about"
Alec was confident he could beat up a normal human without problems, but a superhuman? He wasn't sure. He recalled vividly that the system has informed him of his aims which is to become a superhero and fight crimes, but actually going into it fully gives a different kind of feelings Alec wasn't used to.
"Have you seen the way you fight, man? You move like a super hero" Jeremy replied.
Heidi came in front of Alec and fixed the tiny earbug into his ear, while Alec looked down at her feminine figure, calmly taking her in and smiled. Heidi noticed Alec's eyes on her, and a light blush appeared on her face. After the fixing, she went on with other things pretending not to be fazed by him.
Alec stood straight and turned his mental focus to Jeremy "How sure are you that I'm not gonna mess this up?"
"I am very sure, Alec because you wanna stop this more than everyone here" Jeremy answered, fixing his guns and other equipments into the numerous pockets of his pants.
"And how did you know that?" Alec asked.
"Because..." Jeremy smiled sadly "You were a victim"
Alec nodded in understanding.
"You might need these" Jeremy handed him a gun and a small sharp knife. "I know you're not trained on how to use them, but still, it's safe to have them with you"
Alec accepted them hiding them into the pockets of his pants, then he remembered his shirt, he is literally naked at the chest area. He quickly ran into the training room to get it, but he noticed something strange about himself.
He felt his legs moving smarter and quicker than they used to in the past, and gave a very weird feeling. He could also feel the heat creaping up from his feet to his face as his legs moved with uncontrollable speed.
When he got to the training room, he almost collided with the machines there.
"Woahhhh!" He exclaimed as his legs slided over the smooth ground. "God" he whispered, then he remembered the superspeed Xander had informed him about. The swiftness of his feet movement is probably the super speed power Xander had talked about.
"Xander, is this the level one superspeed you were talking about?" He asked.
"Yes" Xander answered immediately.
It's just the first level super speed and he is as fast as this? What if he gets to the second level, how fast is he gonna be?
****
Jeremy, Alec and one other member from the HEP centre got to where the superhuman was. He is a guy with average height and small arms, but he had the power to destroy things, scare people, cause injuries."Oh God" Jeremy whispered, looking sad as he saw some people lying unconscious on the ground.
"Where is Prof Smith?!" The superhuman asked no one in particular, destroying more things with his powers.
"Who is Prof Smith?" Alec asked Jeremy.
"The director of HEP centre" Jeremy replied sharply.
Alec had more questions, but didn't utter them because he knew now is the wrong time to ask questions.
"Hey!" Jeremy called the superhuman loudly, getting his attention, then he threw a knife at him, but he missed the target, and fortunately didn't hurt anyone "You've gotta stop hurting people!"
The super human walked towards the three guys. He was looking angry and ready to kill them for trying to stop him.
"And who are you to tell me that!" Compared to his stature, his voice was very deep and scary.
"Man, he's pissed" Jeremy whispered, bringing out his gun. He started to shoot, but the bullet was falling off the guy's body. Jeremy lowered his gun, exchanging wide looks with Alec.
"The idiot's got a bullet proof body" Jeremy mummured. "Okay, let me try this, again" He expertly threw a knife to the superhuman, but the knife didn't give the injury they were expecting, instead it lightly pierced into the guy's skin. He took out the knife from his skin, like it was just a pen, stabbed into his skin.
"Holy fuck!" Jeremy cursed with wide eyes.
The third guy with them rushed towards the superhuman to fight him.
"Collins, No!" Jeremy yelled the third guy's name, but he had made up his mind.
Jeremy and Alec ran towards the superhuman to support Collins in the fight. When they got to him, they all landed a punch on his body at different spot, but they ended up getting hurt.
"Fucking hell!" Alec screamed in pain, swinging his hand left and right. He moved away from the superhuman, dragging a groaning Jeremy along with him.
The superhuman's body is like an iron, hurting anyone that tries to hit him.
"I thought you said he's not as strong as I am?" Alec said to Jeremy with a deep frown.
"That's what I thought, but I was clearly wrong" Jeremy responded.
"Well, I guess we were stupid to think we can just throw him punches even after we saw he's got a bullet proof body" Jeremy said.
"Wait, where's Collins?" Alec asked concernedly, looking around. He saw Collins laying on the ground, obviously in pains.
"Damn!" Jeremy and Alec commented simultaneously. They knew the super human had done something really evil to Collins.
Alec caught the small figure of the superhuman walking towards them. He knew he was coming to attack them and Alec doesn't want anyone getting hurt again. He decided to summon courage to be able to face the dangerous superhuman and contact Xander if things go bad.
"You know what, Jeremy? Take Collins and the other injured people away, while I deal with this iron man" Alec suggested, watching the iron man come closer to them.
Jeremy shook his head "Alec, no"
"A lot of people are gonna die if you don't take care of them soon, is that what you want?"
Jeremy sighed, glancing around him "I'm gonna contact members from the HEP centre to take care of them"
"Let's not argue about this, okay? Even if you contact people, you'll still be the one that supervises everything that goes on with them"
Jeremy exhaled.
"Don't you believe in my potentials anymore?" Alec asked with a playful frown.
"I do" Jeremy nodded, reluctantly agreeing to Alec's idea. "Be careful"
The moment Jeremy left, the iron man materialized right in front of Alec, and raised his arm to go for a direct face hit. The hand action was sluggish to Alec, giving him time to lower his head in other to prevent the punch from hitting him. "Xander, are you there?" He quickly contacted the system. It beeped and said a yes. Alec saw another jab coming from the iron man, but he held the iron man's fist and tried to push him backwards, but his opponent was too strong. Alec grunted, exerting more power to the push. He recalled Xander studied Jeremy's strength and weaknesses during their first fight, Alec decided to ask Xander about the iron man's weakness. "I hope you've got a weakness, Xander?" "No"Alec blinked, getting distracted "What do you mean, no?"The iron man grabbed Alec by the arm and easily threw him to the other side of the road with violence. Alec groaned "Xander, what have you been doing? I need this guy's weakness ASAP" "Processing weakness and strength" Xander
Jeremy and Alec stood in front of the brick cell with a transparent thick glass door. It was built in the past for superhumans like the iron man. They watched him from the monitor fixed at the side of the brick to display whatever the cameras in his cell had captured. The iron man was screaming and throwing his arms out like a maniac, but everything was pointless. "There is no iron for you to feed off from, little boy" Jeremy taunted. The veins in his neck popped out "I am not a little boy!""Yes, you are" Jeremy mouthed, shaking his head. "Why don't you tell us what you want with Prof Smith"The iron man simpered "I thought you were smart enough to know that, but it turned out you are all dummies""Well, the dummies took you down" Alec remarked.Jeremy laughed pressing a button to whine down a tinted glass over the transparent one, then he began to walk away with Alec. "You can't keep me here, forever!" He vociferated. Jeremy rolled his eyes. "Isn't that what all prisoners say?
Alec met the superhuman down the hallway while Jeremy and Heidi walked closely behind him, their eyes focused on the superhuman. The superhuman is quite tall and built. Alec knew from a glance that he was the definition of trouble. Some students were hanging in the hallway, shaking in fear at the frightening sight of the superhuman. They knew he was capable of hurting them, and was scared to take a step away. The superhuman sighted Alec and his friends. He glanced at the pens in the hands of the trembling students. His eyes rolled and glowed to control the pens. The pens disappeared from their hands and hung in the air. He directed the sharp mouth of the pens towards Alec and his friends. Alec was the first to notice where the direction of the pens were going, and how it was going to hurt them. The sharp tip of the pen is going towards their eyes with speed. "Holy fuck" He quickly stood in front of his friends to protect them and with his speed he was able to grab the pens befo
Alec and Jeremy glared at the iron guy from the monitor that displayed the face of the iron man. He laughed mockingly at Alec and Jeremy. "You really think you can get a word outta me?" The guy laughed harder, then suddenly stopped and clenched his jaw "Hell no!" "Oh, this guy is not okay upstairs, he needs medical attention, badly" Jeremy insulted, watching him with observing eyes. "You are happy with the way things are turning out, aren't you?" Alec asked the iron guy, the baritone of his voice very evident. "You're happy that someone is also out there trying to hurt people, destroy the city, just like you did. You are fucking happy!" "You got that right, pretty boy" He sneered at them "I'll be outta here very soon and I'm gonna make sure I beat both of your asses up" A muscle in Jeremy's neck twitched. "Son of a bitch" He jammed his hand on the button at the side to pull down the thick tinted glass. "He's gonna rot in there" Jeremy and Alec both started to walk away at th
Ever since the discovery of Alec's genetic makeup, Jeremy had always viewed him in a different way, like maybe one day, he would feel too powerful and torment people the way other superhuman does. He made it part of his routine to observe Alec closely in case he develops a bad character that comes along with being a superhuman. Jeremy knows Alec is a good person and would not change his personality, but there are some bad vibes these superpowers bring, Jeremy doesn't want that for Alec. Alec never knew Heidi and Jeremy knows about his gene alteration, and he doesn't know about Jeremy studying him. "Oohh" Alec squealed throwing his arms up as he entered the training room "Thank God it's Friday!" "I thought I was the only one that love Fridays" Jeremy remarked with a smirk, studying Alec's reaction. Alec took off his shirt for his training session, giving Heidi a nice view of his attractive chest. "It means end of school troubles""Temporarily" Jeremy added, quoting with his finger
Alec observed the hallway, glancing at the rooms at each sides of the hall, but he couldn't point the exact room Movement was hiding. He knows if he luckily barges into the room Movement is, he might be walking straight into a trap set down for him, but if he treads carefully, Movement might be the one falling into a trap. "Movement got away from Alec, I'm shutting down the building. The telekinetic asshole is not escaping this time" Jeremy soliloquized, moving his fingers on the keyboard to automatically lock all doors and pull down an iron cover for all windows. "Let's hope he doesn't unlock it telekinetically" He said. "Do you think Alec will be able to find Movement? He has not familiarized himself with all the rooms here" Heidi said, keeping her worried eyes on the monitor. "I need to go out there to help him" Jeremy mumbled taking a step away but Heidi held his arm tightly to stop him. "No, Jeremy. That's like suicide, Movement is gonna kill you if he finds you" Heidi told
Alec smirked at the telekinetic guy now locked in the cell and looking for a way to get out. "Get me out of here! Now!" He roared. Jeremy tilted his head "I hate this guy" Jeremy and Alec started to stroll down the cell passage. "Remember we talked about going clubbing?" Jeremy said, grinning from ear to ear. Alec nodded hoping something will make Jeremy change his mind about the nightclub. Jeremy parted his lips about to blurt out something but the beeping sound of his phone cut him off. He brought out his phone from the back of his pocket. He tapped on it few times and narrowed his eyes to read the message that came in then a smile stretched his lips. "Well..." He wrapped his arm around Alec's shoulder and patted it "Kurt is holding a party at his place tonight"Alec scrunched up his face irritatedly at the mention of Kurt's name. He is an arrogant guy with lots of cash he gets from his divorced parents every week. "Please don't tell me we're going" Alec said twisting down h
Alec quietly counted the number of guards Kurt had called just for his necklace and shook his head in a jeering manner. "I can see up to four guards just for a necklace" Alec remarked. "That is to show you how I can easily get more than a person for anything I want" Kurt said with pride. "Kurt, stop this, it's madness" Jenny chipped already having a success in getting away from Kurt's hold. "No, it's power, my love" Kurt said and chuckled wickedly. "And it's nice to have that power" "You are misusing that power" Jenny spat out. One of the guards with funny eyebrows came forward boldly and made a move to drag Alec's necklace but Alec quickly bent his head backwards. "Whoooo!" The crowd yelled dramatically. The guard tried again, but had no luck in getting the necklace. "Is it hard to get an ordinary necklace from an ordinary boy like him?" Kurt yelled, pointed to Alec with a frown. "Get his fucking necklace!" Another guard came foward and brought his hand forward for a
