Chapter 10 —Night of the Five Alphas
The night was way too quiet. And when the city gets that quiet… it usually means something bad is lurking.
I was getting ready to patrol, adjusting the layers of my outfit and feeling the familiar weight of adrenaline kicking in.
"Luka, thermal detection indicates five signatures ahead. All above human standards." EVA's voice echoed in my mind — calm, precise, always in the exact tone.
"Five?" I muttered, moving my wrist. "I needed a warm-up anyway."
They appeared like shadows condensing. Five Alpha mutants — and each one looked way too confident.
EVA projected glowing outlines in my field of vision, marking weak points, energy patterns, speed.
"Recommendation: eliminate the seismic one first. He can limit your mobility."
The seismic one stomped his foot on the ground. The whole street responded with a brutal wave of vibration.
"I noticed!" I jumped away before the ground split open.
EVA drew a perfect blue route. I ran over the still-stable parts and leaped, aiming for his chin. She adjusted my impact force.
The mutant flew like he'd been hit by a truck.
"One neutralized."
The aerokinetic came next. He spun his arms and small tornadoes formed, lifting cars.
"Recommended altitude: 2.3 meters. Now!"
I obeyed on instinct. The blast grazed my legs, and the next one launched me straight toward him. I landed with my knee in his stomach.
Two.
The third raised his hands and charged pure energy. Light shots cut through the air.
"Partial absorption activated. Right!"
I rolled, felt the energy scrape my arm, and EVA pulled part of it to boost my speed. In seconds, I reached him and finished him off.
Three.
And then… came the problem.
The regenerator.
Skin closing instantly. Muscles rebuilding as fast as he moved. He came at me like an animal.
He grabbed me by the neck and threw me against a car. The metal folded.
"Maximum regeneration level. Suggestion: cellular overheating."
"Easier said than done…" I wiped the blood.
He jumped at me. EVA activated a temporal shield on my left arm. I blocked the impact and gained one second. Hit him hard — he regenerated instantly.
"He has cellular redundancy," EVA said. "We need to overload everything at once."
"Then give me power."
"Transferring absorbed energy."
My body burned. Pure energy running through my veins. I grabbed the regenerator by the neck and pressed my hand against his chest.
"EVA, now."
The white explosion lit up the alley. When the light faded, he was down — alive, but incapacitated.
Four.
Only the invisible one was left.
No heat. No sound. Nothing.
"EVA, quantum vision."
Silence.
Until I felt the cold blade on my neck.
"You should've run," he whispered.
"BEHIND THE RIGHT ARM!"
My elbow shot backward, hitting his stomach. He appeared for just a moment — enough. I spun, grabbed his wrist, and took him down.
Five.
I took a deep breath.
"EVA… is it over?"
"For now. But mutant activity is increasing. This was only the beginning."
Great. It barely started and I was already tired.

After that, I could only say:
"Holy shit. After this, I'm going to sleep."
And I slept.

Next Morning
I woke up, showered, and put on a full-black combo: t-shirt, pants, hoodie. Air Force on my feet, modern Rolex on my wrist. Minimalistic and dangerous.
I went downstairs.
"John, today I'm taking another car. You don't need to drive for me," I said.
John looked at me with that "butler who's seen everything" expression.
"Yes, young master. Just be careful."
I nodded and went to the garage.
I picked the black Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Why not?
I drove to Gwen's house and picked her up. On the way, she leaned her head back, relaxed — at least until we arrived at school.
When we walked into the classroom, someone called me.
Jean Grey.
She approached and said:
"Luka, I need to talk to you after class. Meet me on the rooftop."
"Alright," I answered.
When she left, I felt a pinch on my arm.
Gwen.
"Hmm… didn't know you two were that close," she said, rolling her eyes.
I laughed and flicked her forehead.
"I don't even know her, Gwen. She just wants to say something — I have no idea what. If she says anything weird, I'll tell you. Deal?"
She looked deep into my eyes.
"You better not be lying. I'll let it slide… but don't get used to it, okay?"
"Yes, ma'am," I replied.
We entered the classroom.
