Arc 4 - Family Reunion - Part 3 - Finale

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(From a bystander’s point of view)

I have lived in this city forever. I have never left New York City. I was born here Raised here. There is nothing for me in this world. Every day I go to work, I see so many people. They are happy. They are sad. Many emotions go through each of us. We are humans after all. No matter what we are feeling, we are always happy to have this. The ability to work in peace. To go to school in peace. To live in peace. Even if we are not happy sometimes, we still have a piece of happiness within us that some people in the world do not. That small piece is called many things by many people, but I call it a piece of never-ending happiness.

The world is different. There are people that cannot do anything I can. They are not happy. They don’t have peace. But the governments and the UN is doing everything they can to bring peace to the world. Maybe one day they will be as happy as we are. Maybe one day there will be peace everywhere.

As part of my daily routine, I always get a newspaper before entering the subway. I read it on the train but as soon as I saw the headline I stopped and started reading it. The headline was “Are we safe?” I read the whole news story. They were talking about how we can be the next city to be blown by these people. I looked at another newspaper headline, which was “Where is ‘Nazar’?” I read the whole story but there was nothing there that was the truth. It was all speculations regarding how he is hiding or he might have died. The only last time anyone saw him was vanishing after the explosion above London. I don’t know what to think of him. But whoever he is, I hope he never comes here…

Before I could finish, I heard a sound. The sound was very loud that you could not hear anything for a minute afterwards. It is the same sound and feeling the rescue team mentioned when he first showed up in Dead City. We no longer take its actual name, we just call it Dead City.

As soon as I heard the loud sound, I looked up to see something moving extremely fast in the sky. I followed it with my eyes to see it lowering down until crashing against the UN assembly building. Why is he here? No one wants him here. And why did he crash into a building that brought peace to the world? What does he want?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I punch the wall of the UN assembly and let myself in. I float above them and say, “Members of the UN, hear me out… You have been trying to kill me for a while or tried to turn me into a weapon. I don’t want to kill any more people. So, leave me alone.”

A man stood up and said, “Ah, we have been expecting you. You destroyed some of our weapons and learned our secret.”

“The one about you guys being the rulers of the planet?” I asked a rhetorical question.

“And also the secret of how we make some people disappear when they don’t agree with us.” He told me with a smirk on his face.

“So, are you going to leave me alone now?” I asked them.

“Oh yes. At first, we wanted you on our side for the coming war, but when you escaped we wanted to get rid of you so you don’t interfere with us. I can leave you alone under one condition, do not interfere with us in any way.” After a little silence, he continued, “Also, we want our weapons back.”

“Which weapons?”

“The superhuman weapons.” He replied.

“Oh, them. They are no longer weapons. I removed their powers.”

“DAMN YOU,” He shouted. Then he looked at other members of the UN and said, “Someone call the bases and I want this brat out of the picture. Use everything on him.”

“Bases? Oh, those ones. They are going to be destroyed.” I told him.

“I don’t care about the base. If the scientists are alive then...” Before he could finish I interrupted, “they are going to die there too.”

“You wouldn’t...”

“With a snap of my finger, each base will blow up in five seconds. Before I left each facility, I made sure that no one can leave that place. I am going to use the weapons there, which are being controlled by me and destroy everything.”

He burst into laughter and said, “Really? Prove it!”

“Okay,” as I said that, I snapped my finger and five second later he lost everything he needed for the coming ‘war’. I continued, “you have already lost your upcoming ‘war’.”

“I have the might of the world military behind me.” He said in an angry tone. He was really frustrated with what happened today.

“Well, then goodbye,” as I said this, I left the building at top speed.

I got my base and restored everyone’s memories. I wondered how advanced the technology of UN is. They have technology that can keep and restore memories of anyone they wanted.

Once they received their memories back, I told them, “I know you think that what you went through was my fault, but I am not going to apologize.”

One of them said, “who are you?”

“I am Nazar.” I replied.

“Oh, the brat who cost us years of our life.” On of them said.

“Yes, I am that brat. So, get the hell out of here now. I don’t even know why I saved you pathetic humans.” I told them. “So, where do you guys want to go? I will take you anywhere you want and then it's done between us.”

They came one by one and told me where they lived and I teleported each one of them to their new homes. After they were gone, I went to London and met with my foster family.

(From Emma’s point of view)

Nazar have not come home or contacted us for weeks now. Ever since the accident, he has barely been in contact with us. What is he up to? Is he okay?

A few minutes later the door opened and I saw him walking in. I rushed in and hugged him and asked him, “Where have you been?” but he did not answer. There was something different about him. It almost felt like he was back to his old self, before getting his powers but much colder.

After a little while, he asked, “Is John or Mary home?” We are both adopted by them but I always thought of them as my parents while Nazar always referred to them by their names.

“Yes,” as soon as I said that, he entered the living room, where my parents were. I followed him in too.

He asked my parents, “Do you know who Alice Brown is?”

“Alice Brown?” My mom asked in a confused tone. Then she exchanged looks with dad and then looked at Nazar and said, “I don’t think I know who this person is.”

“Alice Brown is the name of the woman who brought me here.” He told them.

“Oh her. We never really asked her name.” My dad said. “She lived here in the house next to us for a time until she brought you here. She said she was your mother and asked us if we could look after you for a few days. We agreed but the next day a letter came in that said we were your legal guardians now. We signed the agreement to look after you but that woman never appeared again.”

“Oh and she said her name was Nina,” my mom said.

“She died in the next few days,” Nazar told them. “She was not my mother. She was a scientist in the facility I was being held and helped me escape. As soon as she left me in your care, she went to her home and then she was abducted by the organisation she was working for. They tortured her to try and get her to spill information about my location but she didn’t and was killed.” He said this without any changes in his expressions. It looked like he no longer felt anything. As soon as he finished he left.

I stopped him and asked him, “where are you going?”

“Somewhere away for the time being,” as soon as he said that, he left the and flew away.

I don’t know why he came here all the way and tells us about what happened but I hope he is okay and I hope he does not do anything stupid.

As soon as I left their house, I went to my base and changed some stuff. The new facility is made of techno-organic nanites that can change size and shape. It produced artificial oxygen inside the facility. It also produced unlimited electricity, gas and water for the facility. As soon as the modifications were done, I teleported the base to the moon. I no longer want to be part of humanity.
