I burst into tears again then heard a sweet voice ask,"Felix, why are you crying?"
At that moment, I looked at Anneliese, who was sitting up, in her right senses, with a concerned look on her face.
I looked at my dad who was laughing his heart out then pounced on him.
After wrestling on the floor with him, trying to get him to stop laughing, I heard Anneliese laugh and that warmed my heart.
I heard my dad's thoughts as he said,"I had to make her forget everything that happened, so we shouldn't remind her."
I nodded, totally agreeing.
Anneliese finally stopped laughing then looked into my eyes, and I into her's, then we shared a passionate kiss, I had missed this.
She then pulled back and said,"Felix, I'm so sorry for all the things I said, you shouldn't have..."
"No, I'm sorry...I was the one who said unkind things and hurt you, you just wanted to protect me, can we make up?"
She smiled then kissed me again.
"Is that a yes?"I asked.
She chuckled and said,"Yes you idiot, it is."
At that moment, a person was watching a screen of the fight I had had with the principal and said in a Russian accent,"Hmm, someone with power like that will be a perfect addition to our army, Claus, ready the super troops..."

When I got back to the camp, all the students were excited to see me again and even more gossip about me started spreading around.
Love letters were still coming to me in the thousands per day, but I could finally ignore them without a hint of guilt, I had a girlfriend now, I was no more available.
Anneliese also resumed her light training in the camp and the boys were all over her, but I acted as her body guard, even moving super fast during class hours to rescue her.
Since I was on level 9 at the moment, I could speed myself by up to 6,790%(67.9×) and strengthen myself to up to 7,820%(78.2×).
All my skills had become 10× stronger than when I last leveled up due to gamma radiation exposure the last time I met Mina.
Specifically, I was on level 9.64 and was just 0.36 points away from level 10, the highest anyone had ever reached and that gave me a lot more attention, not only in the camp, but also in the news.
I couldn't even take a decent hour long shower without the press pressing on me.
It was exhausting running away from them all day and my parents had to act as body guards for me.
And all my Monster Hunter missions around the world gave me die hard fans who went crazy in my presence, especially and uncomfortably, the girls.
I was teaching a class one day and when I turned to the board, I sensed Amanda, who was an Enforcer, and her best friend, Blake, who was a Hurricane Lass (control the wind), talking about a group of spies who had been sent to steal documents important to the country, going to happen in a few hours.
I asked them how they knew about it after class and they said it was a friend of theirs.
' You're friends with the entire world population, how am I supposed to know who the heck you're talking about?! ' I yelled to myself.
I took a deep breath to calm down and asked for more details.
They told me it was happening at midnight and that the culprits were highly trained enlightened thieves, former students of Bright Academy.
' Of course, every criminal with a light is from Bright Academy. ' I thought to myself.
I told my dad about it and even though he wanted to come with me, I said I could handle it alone, and I intended to, I didn't want to bother him since he had a lot of things going on in his mind, like his pregnant wife, the dozens of students he had to cater for and even his own missions.
He was skeptical, but I wouldn't hear of it.
I also had to assure Anneliese that I'd be fine before leaving.
I went to the venue and staked it out.
I didn't wait for long when I sensed numerous people coming and I already knew what was going on...it was a trap...
The paparazzi crowded me and started blinding me with their camera shutters and asking me personal questions, while the crazy fans were squealing and giving me a headache.
I had to get out of there.
I disappeared and appeared behind a dumpster and payed a garbage man for his clothes then ran away.
I couldn't believe I was set up like that!
I was so furious when I got home and my dad could tell.
"What happened?"He asked.
"I was set up! It was just a disguised press conference."I said.
"...I hate to say that I told you so, but I saw it coming."
It annoyed me most that he was right.
I groaned and went to bed, but didn't sleep at all.
I was debating on what punishment... punishments to inflict on those lying, untrustworthy, unfaithful, bi...zzzzz.
I fell asleep before finishing my thought.
The next day at school, I stormed past all the students glued to their phones who immediately lifted their eyes when they saw the topic of the latest gossip passing by, and continued gossiping.
I sat down at my desk and waited for those two brats to arrive, but when only Blake arrived, I yelled...asked, where her best friend was.
She was intimidated by my glowing eyes then said she was sick.
I was going to heal her, then kill her, resurrect her, then go over again.
The principal (my dad, so proud to say that) gave them both a three week suspension for playing such a trick on a teacher and I felt so good with myself when that happened.
Since that day, the students were really aware of what my dad could do so kept their distance.
I could finally breathe.
Things were going great with Anneliese and the baby was growing fast.
I came from school one day early since my dad didn't make it.
He didn't have a mission and he was too healthy for any sickness to be dumb enough to try his immune system, so what was it?
I went home to see him sitting on a humble, wooden chair, as was his custom, with my mom sitting on the fanciest, most luxurious chair...throne, in the mansion.
My dad barely cared about himself, and always went out of his means to make everyone around him happy and comfortable, especially my mom.
My mom was smiling wider than usual and I could tell by her heart rate, something was up.
"Hello, what did I miss?"I asked.
"We're having..."They began simultaneously.
They looked at each other then laughed before going on and on about who should speak, to the extent, it made me dizzy.
I said,"Just speak, please, you're giving me a headache."
They laughed again before my mom asked,"Do you sense something different about me?"
"No?"I answered questioningly.
"Look closer."She said.
I then noticed that inside her body, were two babies.
They yelled surprise for me and it was a surprise.
I didn't know whether to be happy that I was getting two new siblings, or sad about the emotions and memories that would have brought back.
A tear escaped my eye then I ran up the stairs.
My mom wanted to follow, but my dad stopped her and insisted he went.
He knocked my door and it opened on its own.
He walked past the water waiter I had made to attend to the door and sat by me on the bed, who was crying under a storm cloud.
He said,"Felix what's wrong? Aren't you happy?"
I looked at him then said,"I am happy, but that's the point, I'm too happy. Having twins again reminds me of all the good memories I had with Alex and makes me miss him more."
He was silent for a few seconds then said,"I think it's time I told you how I got my light."
