"Guys, I called you here to say I've made my decision."Alexa said.
Both mean gave her their full attention as she said a name,"Trevor."
Trevor widened his eyes and asked,"Really?"
She nodded then Curtis smiled and stretched his hand while saying,"Good game."
Trevor held his hand and pulled him for a hug and patted his back then looked back at Alexa.
She looked at Curtis shyly then said,"I'm sorry it wasn't you."
He smiled then lifted her head up gently and said,"I just want you to be happy."
"What did I do to get a friend like you?"She asked.
She then hugged him and he kissed her hair.
Then she left with Trevor.
Curtis actually really loved Alexa and totally regretted taking her to his crazy family but the damage had already been done, and he had to move on.
A puddle of water sat in a damp earth patch when a foot hit it and it splashed violently.
I was running through the jungle then jumped and stepped sideways on a tree trunk then jumped onto another then jumped through the roof of the canopy.
I lingered in the air for a few seconds then started descending then blasted water out of my hands to gain altitude and did a triple front flip then made a slide of ice I h to slip down which immediately sublimed.
I was in the jungles of Argentina, I had used my navigation skills to find my exact location.
I looked up and saw about five giant cocoons made of spider like silk.
I then heard Anneliese say on my blue tooth device,"Umm honey, Lilith's on fire again... literally."
She looked at Lilith who was engulfed in green flames and running around while yelling,"Eating meat is murder!"
"Oh, have you tried quenching her?"I asked.
"Yes but it only made it worse."She said and looked at her again.
Lilith took a tub of water and dumped it on herself and the flames grew three times bigger then she yelled again,"Eating meat is murder!"
"Oh, she's protesting."I said,"Try saying eating meat is murder, eating plants is genocide and eating fungi is worse."
"Okay.."She said.
She said what I told her to and Lilith yelled,"You think so too? Yes!"
She then stomped her foot and the flames died down instantaneously.
Anneliese then said,"It worked, thank you honey."
"Welcome babe."I said.
I could sense the beating hearts within them and immediately stretched my arm backwards and a wall of ice I h formed to hold the sharp appendage that was darted at my head.
I turned back to see a Black Willow.
Black willows had the head of a cobra yet the body of a scorpion and an aluminum and iron alloy exoskeleton which was jet black with wine red lines at their joints.
They had six anthropod like legs and two crab like forelegs.
They also had a hard chitinous hood which they could hide their head in when threatened, the weak point of their steel enforced body.
Both their multiple rows of replaceable teeth and their stingers were filled with deadly venom which had no known anti venom.
It hissed then broke the ice to free its leg then I heard Anneliese say,"The kids are crying, what do I do?"
I saw the creature raise its first two pairs of legs, ready to strike then said,"Uuh, try giving them milk."
It started darting the legs at me and clamping its pincers while I dodged by the skin of my teeth.
Anneliese said,"It's not working."
It shot its stinger at me and I caught it an inch above my head and I struggled as it got closer and pushed me onto my knees.
I said with a lot of strain in my voice,"Have you checked their diapers?"
"Of course I...wait...(she sniffed) ooh that smells like rotten eggs, thanks sweetie."
"Bye milady."I said.
I then twisted my hands and a cracking sound was heard as the stinger was broken off the tail.
Green blood splashed all over my face and hood then I dropped the venomous stinger and blasted it into the sky with a highly pressurized current of water.
It fell towards the forest after flying for about a hundred meters then the trees curved out of the way and the shrubs shrunk so it wouldn't crash onto them, plants are living things too you know.
I made the blood shoot off my body in all directions then turned back to the cocoons.
I walked towards the closest cocoons to me which was suspended atop the canopy, about ten meters above my head.
A sharp ninja star made of ice formed in my hand then I threw it up and it passed by the cocoon then curved backwards and spun at least a thousand times faster and spun around the cocoon and sliced it open like peeling an apple.
I caught the woman who fell out of it and she was lost in my eyes and started to drool.
I asked if she was okay then she smiled, caressed my cheek and said,"Now that you're here."
I was ambivalent and dropped her.
I then shot a Ball Lightning Bomb at the remaining three cocoons then made a thick patch of snow to cushion the people's fall and prevent any... uncomfortable new crushes.
I showed them the bearing of their towns then a man said there was still one more person, a child.
I already knew of his presence but didn't let that be known.
I could sense a lot of water lingering in the air in lines and saw the huge, thick, intertwined silk webs in a three dimensional matrix with two cocoons at the centre, with one slightly larger than the other and I knew I had to hurry because the larger cocoon was filled with carnivorous hatchlings.
I hydroteleported into the centre then yelled,"Yuck! It got in my mouth! It tastes like Neem tea and bile juice! Wait, why do I know what bile juice tastes like?"
I brushed the thought aside then shot up a green fireball which engulfed the cocoon and started slowly eating into it.
I made the now yellow flames turn blue as I didn't have much time.
The boy fell into my arms and his breathing was slow, he almost suffocated in there.
I took in a deep breath then blew out a mist like cloud of ice blood which passed harmlessly through his epithelial and epidermal tissue and cleared his blood vessels so his heart could beat normally.
I brushed his hair away from his face then said,"Awaken."
He woke up abruptly and was freaked out for a few seconds till I helped him calm down.
I told him I'd take him to his family in a second but had to handle something first.
I maneuvered through the web matrix then got to the location of the first four cocoons and saw the Black Willow, crawling to its eggs with its last strength.
I felt sorry for it so raised my hand and all its lost blood floated back into its vessels and the stinger reconnected with its tail.
It looked at me, confused then I spoke through its mind,"I don't like ending lives since I can't give them on my own but still, you could eat those Loc Hoppers destroying the ecosystem you know, but stay away from humans."
Loc Hoppers were super sized herbivorous anthropod like monsters.
They had hard protein and chitin rich elytra on their backs which were about an inch thick.
Their clear and iridescent, intricately designed wings were a million dollar collectible and they were rare, but destroyed the places they were found in due to their large appetites.
They had brightly coloured cellulose and chitin rich exoskeletons with unique designs and medicinal properties.
The boy appeared besides me and he hid behind me from the monster, but it walked away from us to hunt for Loc Hoppers.
I vanished with the boy and in an instant, we were back at the house his memories told me was his home.
A woman ran to him and yelled his name,"Felix!"
I chuckled as they hugged then the boy turned to me and fidgeted with his fingers while saying,"Thank you for rescuing us."In Swahili.
I smiled then said,"It's all in a day's work."
"Can I be like you when I grow up?"He asked.
I looked at him seriously then said,"No, you can be better, and guess what, my name is Felix too."
"Really?"He asked.
"Yeah, here."
A white and cold mist formed around my hand as a sphere of clear and frosted ice VI which was harmless at room temperature appeared.
There was also a sphere of glowing blue and white electricity at the centre of the hollow ice sphere which zapped electric arcs to the ice wherever a full circuit was made, or where it was touched by a conductor, somehow like a plasma globe, making a purple glow at the place it touched.
The boy was elated when he saw it then I clicked my tongue and winked at him before vanishing.
The dragonfly made of ice I h and water landed on the pond of the mansion and melted and I walked over a path of ice I h to the edge, which immediately melted when I had crossed over.
I went in to see the place looked like a tornado hit, because one really did.
I kissed Anneliese on the lips then asked,"The kids are growing stronger, aren't they?"
"Yes but it's nothing I can't handle."She said.
There was a scream then an explosion and Anneliese said,"And there goes all my most treasured items, but sit, tell me how the mission went."
"Sure but, where's my mom?"
"On the date with Indigo."
"Oh, I forgot about that."I said slightly angry,"And what about Alexa?"
"She's watching one of Trevor's matches."
"They really never leave each other's side, do they?"I asked.
"Nope."
There was another scream, right before the ground shook then Anneliese said,"Please just go to sleep!"
"Why don't you just sing them Rockabye bun?They love that lullaby."I suggested.
"Yeah, about that..."
"What?"
She started so singing and they calmed down and joined in.
I was stunned, they were barely a month old.
She then said,"They've been talking for about a week now."

"Yup, that's perfectly normal for children who experience Birth Activation, they tend to develop faster and better than normal enlightened children and no one knows why, there are many theories but the best one is that it is an adaptation that protects them from having a functional light at such a tender age."The doctor said.
"So that is normal?"Anneliese said pointing.
He looked at them while they were singing along to a nursery rhyme on their tablet with slightly better syllables.
He nodded.
Anneliese said,"Okay, thanks doc."
She hung up then asked,"So now, how did the mission go?"
"Well..."
