The watch was still malfunctioned but when he got back home, he found the watch and wore it on his hand. That same day an earthquake arose upon New York, but technically there was never one.
He went to one of his friend's house, Mike on the next day.
'Yo Mike, how're you doing? Your drip is really on, yo' Alex slang talked. 'I'm doing well'. 'How about the earthquake, how'd you manage? 'What earthquake?' 'Oh, goodness, am I the only person who felt the earthquake?' Alex asked. "I guess so, Alex. You know, you've been acting strange lately, the other day you said your shoes had been teleporting out of your legs."
This is the problem Alex had been having, it's as if he is having a 'house quake' or something like that. He also found out that his books or his properties would disappear from one place to another in an instant second. No one around NYC ever felt this, and Alex didn't even come to think of what caused the problem, well he's on a school break, that's why.
"A crime in NYC, A crime in NYC". A guy who calls himself The Crack, who is actually a guy named "Alex Boris", is responsible for fraud, robbery and hacking bank systems. He gets a lot of money from this crime… But wait, isn't his name Alex?
Yes, this was his name, the exact name with the normal Alex we all know. Now, no one has seen the face of this criminal and they do not know who he is where he is or what he is planning, and even more they could mistake Alex for him.
The watch was still malfunctioning but it got so bad that Alex didn't know how he could fix it any more, he had to meet a master of science and technology, his science teacher, Mr. Maxx.
"Where did you get this thing from, the crazy store?" Mr. Maxx asked. "Nah, more of the strange store." Alex jokingly replied. "Ahhhh!" Maxx reacting by the watch shocking him. "That's why I came to you, its malfunctioning. It must have expired, reached its guarantee or something." Alex said. "No, it might be because of water. Do you recall any occurrences of the watch contacting water?" Maxx suggested. Immediately Alex remembered the shower he took with the watch.
Some weeks later, Mr. Maxx fixed the watch and returned it to Alex.
[Alex at home trying to master his powers]. "Okay let's get this over with." Alex tries to adapt to his power. [Alex at school]
"Okay, it's time for science class". Mr. Paul, the substitute says. Alex, amazed at his watch's powers starts to think of what he could be able to do with it, while in the middle of class. "Alex, stand up! What is the chemical name for H and S? You have 5 seconds." said Mr. Paul. "Um! Hydro kinesis and Super speed? [Not as if he had the power yet] "Wrong! Looks like you haven't been reading! This is going to get you to work. 200 frog jumps. "Alex was given punishment.
On Alex's way home after a rough day in school, he passed through the Central Bank of NYC, where the arm robber, Alex Boris (The Crack) was robbing. "Everybody hands down!" The crack intimidating bankers from moving while his henchmen was stealing money. Polices where outside the bank, but they could not do anything because the crack was holding a hostage. Teenage Alex. Unfulfilled by this decided to use his powers for good, even though he hadn't amended to it completely. He still assumed he would beat him. "Police of the law, police of the law! I can beat the crack." Alex shouted. "You must be joking, run to your father if you really value your life!" one of the officers said. Alex knew they would not listen to him he had to use his ability to control time, to freeze time and enter the bank. Immediately, in the eyes of everybody, in no time Alex disappeared into the bank. "Uh! Where did the little boy go?" A woman asked. Another officer said, "He's over there!
What is he doing there?"
"Why is he there?"
"How did he get there?" different officers asked.
"Hey Crack! I don't like people taking things that aren't theirs. But I want to lend you 20 punches in the face in 2 seconds!" Alex said heroically. He started to land punches with super speed. But before he could complete his punches, the crack stopped him with a block with his palm and he pushed Alex to the ground. The Crack said acting naïve while pointing a gun, "Let me guess the police sent you? Ha! Fools, are they too scared to come and find me they decided to send a 13-year-old teenager? WELL, HE'LL BE MY NEW HOSTAGE AND HE'S GONNA DIE FASTER THAN THE OTHERS." The crack was already about to end his grand show something unusual started to happen. Immediately the crack started to act strange, he returned all the money back to the bank and let all the people go except for Alex, without saying a single word. He took Alex out of the bank through an unoccupied exit. He made Alex unconscious and took Alex to a dark area of the city. Before the Crack could reach his destination, Alex managed to wake up and escape. In a deep voice Alex heard him say: "I was close, but he managed to escape." hearing this Alex freaked out and ran home and pretended to his parents as if nothing ever happened. From that day Alex had been wondering about his teleportation into the bank and he found out that the news spread like wildfire. People kept trying to come to interview him and his powers and out of the many people that knew about it, very few knew it was because of the watch. Only Alex knew that this was just a hint of the watch's power. But when his parents came to know about the powers (not the fact that it was the watch), the problem went on another level.
