After returning back to their homes, Kevin arrives back at his place and returns the car he burrowed to a family that woke up grateful and thankful to whoever took it since it was returned. They didn't mind that the tank was low, they could always fuel it but they were happy to have their car back.
Kevin was pleased when he saw that his stash of modified Petrosapien crystals were still in his room, untouched and unsearched which meant that his parents respected his privacy enough not to touch his things or even inquire about them given his behaviour in the past.
'It's about time I sell these and get mom out of here. I owe her big time for putting up with me. At least she should live a comfortable life without worrying about financing anything and most of all, I need my own car.' Kevin thought to himself but almost regretted thinking about getting a car.
"I could have made my own dream car while I still had divine powers! WHAT AN IDIOT!! Damn it!" Kevin said out loud for his mom to ask if everything was okay with him and he reassured her not to worry.
"I'll have to make do with alien tech." Kevin said to himself and carried a bag of modified Petrosapien crystals.
"Mom, can I borrow your car for today, I'll be back soon." Kevin asked his dear mother sweetly but Harvey was still a bit suspicious of Kevin's whereabouts and was worried about his dealings.
"Hey, whatever you are doing, don't let your mother suffer again. She wasn't happy about you trashing the place last time but was also very sad that you were gone for quite some time. You seem reasonable these days so… be reasonable." Harvey said to Kevin after pulling him to a corner so Kevin's mom wouldn't hear them.
"It's fine Harvey. Things are about to change around here." Kevin said with a big smile as he patted Harvey on the shoulder.
"I hope it's for good." Harvey said but expected the worst in his heart.
"Hey, you take the good with the bad." Kevin said with a chuckle and walked past him.
"I wonder if we are the only parents that deal with mutant children. I would like to know how the others are doing." Harvey said with a sigh.
"Alright now Kevin, I don't know what you are logging about in that bag but be careful alright, and know that I love you." Kevin's mom said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Look at you, so handsome!"
"Ah c'mon Mom, I gotta go." Kevin said, taking the keys from his mother and hugging her as he departed.
Kevin spent the afternoon looking for dealerships, scrapyards, and people looking to sell their cars till evening came and he decided to pay Argit a visit in the apartment building where he last saw him. Upon arriving there he couldn't sense Argit and didn't find him or his equipment in the basement of the apartment complex.
'Smart. He doesn't have to stay in one place for too long. Not that he does.' Kevin thought to himself after checking his abandoned base but decided to sense the crystals he gave him to track him which he had no problems doing.
'How do I even find Kevin? Volcanus has been on my ass ever since he found out the value of the crystals Kevin gave me. I thought they were Taydenite and now I am in a huge mess ever since I bought some guns for him to sell with Kevin's crystals.' Argit thought to himself as he bit his fingernails while walking in an alleyway.
'Even the Forever knights have caught on to my scam and are no longer buying my weapons. I still owe a lot of people and could barely make anything afterwards, at least the reward for Kevin…' Argit was lost in thought but suddenly picked a rat that tried to run away from him with incredible speed and swallowed it whole.
'Who's that?' Argit thought and immediately covered his head with a hood and continued walking until the car stopped at his side.
"I have a business for you Argit. You in?" Kevin asked with his arm hanging out the driver's window in a carefree manner.
"Hey, Kevin! How nice of you to drop by. Wait, how did you know I would be here? Are you a hacker now?" Argit greeted Kevin enthusiastically and was relieved he wouldn't have to hunt Kevin down himself, his meal ticket pulled up in front of him after all!
"What's with the car though? You couldn't steal a better ride?" Argit asked looking unimpressed by the vehicle Kevin was in.
"I am working on that, but this is not so bad."
"Say, let me have your number so we can be in touch for business deals like this so I can be more presentable next time." Argit suggested, bringing his phone closer to Kevin.
"Oh, that reminds me. I don't have a phone yet. You know, I just got back."
"Aargh. Fine. You owe me! Here, this is an untraceable burner phone." Argit explained as he handed him a phone and a charger from his jacket.
"Nice work!" Kevin commented as they exchanged digits.
"If you still have those crystals, I don't mind accepting them as payment." Argit said casually, trying to hide his eagerness.
"Speaking of which, I am looking to sell some of them for some cash and alien tech. Happen to know a buyer?" Kevin asked.
"Oh, I know a buyer alright." Argit said and walked over to the passenger door but was stopped by someone screaming Kevin's name.
"KEVIN! THAT'S THE GUY GWEN AND I SAW DEALING WITH THE DNALIENS!" Ben shouted from quite a distance from the car with Gwen.
'Can he be any louder?' Kevin thought to himself as he rubbed his temples.
'I sensed these two following me sometimes at noon but paid it no heed. Now this is annoying.' Thoughts ran through Kevin's head as Argit entered the car.
"I knew it! Come back here Kevin!" Ben said to himself and slammed on his dial as green light covered the area for a second and a blue flying creature with wings appeared.
"BIG CHILL!"
