"Look, Tamim," Faria continued, "I know about the incident with Dr. Shohan and your parents. That horrific memory, etched into your mind. The pain you've carried, the anger that smolders beneath your surface. It's something I've witnessed before, in a different form."
Tamim's mind raced with skepticism." How could she know? "
The air around them seemed to thicken with the weight of unspoken emotions and shared pain, as if two souls on diverging paths suddenly found a connection in the darkness of their pasts.

Now:
"If I clarify, your father, Dr. Tanvir, was the chief scientist of Project SUP-13, and he did some remarkable work that saved millions of lives and the whole world knows that he was killed by his friend.You are one of his child so It's like finding a fish in a river," Faria said.
" No way, my entire family's information was totally hidden after my parents died. None knows that I am the son of Dr Tanvir except some people and government." Thinks Tamim and asked "First, tell me, who exactly are you? Are you some kind of spy or a superhuman working for the government?" asked Tamim.
"I can't divulge more about myself right now, but I don't work for anyone. Let's clarify; just like you, I also have a personal conflict with Dr. Shohan," said Faria.
"Oh, I see. You want to team up with me and use me to reach Dr. Shohan," said Tamim.
"No, that's not it. If the enemy is unbeatable, it's useless to fight them," replied Faria.
"What kind of answer is that?" questioned Tamim.
"It's your healing ability. You can heal your body," Faria continued.
"What's the connection and problem with my healing ability?" asked Tamim.
"Remember what Kabila said? Dr. Shohan is making superhumans using the blood and DNA of people with superpowers. He needs the blood of someone who can heal themselves. His drugs only work for 30 minutes, and electricity is their weakness. When I attacked that monster with electricity, it turned back into a human. If Dr. Shohan gets your blood, he'll create a perfect, controllable monster that'll be unstoppable," Faria explained.
"So, this is the danger you're talking about. No one can take my blood because when I heal, the dropped blood regenerates itself. That's not a danger for me," said Tamim confidently.
"That makes it more dangerous. He'll kill you first, and then take your blood or DNA," Faria concluded
"I've got a lot of questions at this point, but this girl seems to be one step ahead," Tamim thought.
"So, you want me to stay home like a scaredy-cat?" Tamim asked.
"Not at all. I'm pretty sure they know our faces because the sniper guy had a camera on his cap. Additionally, at that bus stop when we first talked, I found a voice recorder chip. There are lots of recording chips all over this city; I found hundreds. Even if you stay home and do nothing, you'll be in more trouble, so I don't want that," Faria explained.
"That means, you're responsible for pulling me into this problem? " Says Tamim
" Maybe, it's up to your understanding about my act. But if you want you can blame me for that. It's up to you " Says Faria
" I don't know who you are but I won't blame you at this point. I want all the information you have related to Dr. Shohan." Says Tamim
Faria thought for a second and replied, " You are being straight forward so quick . I don't really know what to say at this point but I feel I should do what I am doing alone. I have nothing to do with you "
" Wait, first you've said that staying home and doing nothing will not help. If you don't think I have nothing to do then why did you mention it in the first place that day? '' Said Tamim
" Ahh great. Alright forget it, I don't have time to explain all this." Says Faria
" But you have to. You can't just appear and disappear like this. " Says Tamim
" Look, previously I've said that I have almost the same conflict with Dr Shohan but my vision is different. I am here not for some revenge shit with doctor Shohan. Dr Shohan is planning something big after this superpower stuff's started among the world. I am just trying to stop it. That's my goal. " Says Faria
" I didn't ask that. " Says Tamim
" I know but I am saying those because I clearly know you don't have the same kind of motives as mine. You are just interested for different reasons. " Says Faria
" So? I feel your reason for doing this kind of stuff's are also funny. You are just trying to act a hero. " Says Tamim
" It's useless talking with you. " Says Faria and started to walk.
" You are not using your brain at all. If you had you would think my word twice " Says Tamim
Faria stopped and thought for a moment and turned back " I can give you the information about Dr Shohan but after that our conversation about this will end. I don't care what you do after that but... " Faria Stopped
" What but? " Says Tamim
"But.. Just don't get caught or killed during whatever you do . If you die and they find your blood or DNA, it's over. For now, I have to go. Tomorrow at 06:00 am meet me at Butterfly Lake; I'll give you more information," Faria said and started walking on a different road.
Tamim observed Faria's departure, his mind buzzing with thoughts. "There's an uncanny air about her—no hint of emotion, yet a depth of knowledge far beyond her years. She's crafty, elusive, and I sense a manipulative edge. Until I can unravel her intentions, I must be vigilant. This girl might spell trouble."
At Butterfly Lake-
Tamim stood contemplatively by the serene waters. "That girl, what was her name again? Whatever she is, I get the feeling she's someone I'm not keen on dealing with. But for now, I'll have to deal with her..." he mused quietly.
"I thought I was early, but it seems you beat me here," Faria's voice chimed in behind him.
Tamim turned to see Faria approaching. "You're quite serious about all this," she remarked.
"I have to head to Fahim's house; we go together to the workplace," Tamim stated, but Faria interrupted.
"No need for further explanation. All the information I'm willing to share is here. I doubt it will help much," Faria said curtly.
"So, there's more you're not sharing?" Tamim inquired.
"Why should I share everything? You'd do the same if you were in my shoes," Faria replied, her tone calculated.
Their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of a man who walked toward them. "Some random kids trying to achieve what all of Bangladesh's security units couldn't," he mentioned, a note of intrigue in his voice.
They turned to see three individuals approaching.
"We can take them down easily," one of the newcomers declared confidently.
The trio wore strange devices on their arms connected to their veins. Pressing a button, they each transformed into monstrous beings.
"Tamim, you need to run and conceal your identity with a mask and other things," Faria urged urgently.
"What? What do you mean, run?" Tamim questioned incredulously.
"Why are you even asking? I can handle three of them; just get out of here!" Faria commanded.
Before Tamim could react, two transformed monsters lunged at him, while another attacked Faria. With a swift punch, Faria incapacitated one of the attackers, but another was closing in on Tamim. Reacting quickly, he teleported himself to a nearby roof.
The monster zeroed in on Tamim's new location, charging toward him.
