"Alex, aren’t you being a little too paranoid?"
Vanessa’s voice sliced through the tense air like a scalpel, her brows furrowed in genuine doubt. Her words weren’t meant to mock, but they carried that familiar u...
Everyone onboard the jet was caught in a strange limbo—part relief, part dread.
Relief because it felt like they might actually make it. Dread because, as Brian had said, nothing counted until they were safely on the ground.
Orneeba. A Secret Base.
The heavy steel doors hissed open with a mechanical whir, and the airlock’s red lights painted the dark corridor in a blood-like hue.
Footsteps echoed, slow and dragging.
"Sir!"
A voice...
[Extraction in progress…]
[Extraction successful!]
The system’s prompt rang out instantly—
and with it, the crushing, eldritch force that had threatened to swallow Alex whole... vanished.
The Crimson Gem embedded ...
In those movies—Superman Returns, Supergirl—the Kryptonians looked like they were struggling with every ounce of strength just to stop a plane from crashing.
Truth was, lifting a commercial airliner? That was easy for someone wi...
"What exactly are you planning to do?" Brian asked, already rifling through his emergency pack. His words might’ve been skeptical, but his hands moved fast, pulling out a coil of paracord.
Henry didn’t answer right away.
...
"Well played, Alex."
Realization dawned on Mister Sinister’s face, his expression a mix of shock and reluctant admiration. He stood there, stiffly, as if unable to believe he’d been bested so completely.
"I lost to—"
"Alex."
"We finally meet again."
Mister Sinister looked down at Alex with the smug satisfaction of a victor. Normally, a man of his stature wouldn’t indulge in such petty gloating—but Alex was no ordinary foe.
This...
"Have you picked a name for the baby yet?" Audrey asked softly, her fingers still curled around Henry’s hand.
Brian smiled, the memory clearly a bright spot in his mind. "If it's a boy—William. Girl—Jean."
"Lovely names...
"You’ve really pissed me off now!"
The Juggernaut, blocked yet again by Alex, let out a roar like a wild beast. His voice was a guttural growl as he glared at Alex with murderous intent, the ground trembling faintly beneath his fe...
"Alex, be careful!"
Charles spoke gravely, his expression tense as he expanded his telepathic senses to scan the entire Xavier Institute. His face darkened almost immediately—his psychic abilities had been blocked.
It was a...
You’d think that in the face of potential disaster, people would panic. Scream. Lose their minds.
Instead, everyone aboard the plane was… disturbingly calm.
Henry found it almost unnerving how collected everyone was. It s...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The earth convulsed beneath each thunderous footfall, as though nature itself recoiled from the Juggernaut’s advance. Trees snapped in half like matchsticks, birds fled the skies in frenzied flocks, and dust bill...
A week passed in relative calm, though under the surface, the gears of fate continued to grind.
From the peaceful green lawns of the Xavier Institute to the bustling city streets beyond, the world remained unaware of the storm slowl...
The moment they heard the roar of engines in the distance, Brian and Henry broke into a full sprint—well, Brian did.
Henry, on the other hand, pretended to run for his life. In reality, he was following at a brisk yet controlled p...
Jean Grey sat across from them in the modest living room, her legs crossed neatly, posture impossibly still. The sunlight filtering through the curtains touched her hair, making the faint red strands gleam like copper fire.
Despite ...
After parting ways with Charles and Erik, Alex hadn’t sat idle.
Just like the two elder mutants, he'd been traveling from region to region, evaluating potential recruits and quietly building a force capable of standing against what ...

Just because they’d hit the highway and lost visual contact with their pursuers didn’t mean Henry was about to ease off the gas.
Behind him, Mark was still gripping the wheel like his life depended on it—because it did—cursing u...
Climbing back into the rear seat and shutting the door, Brian turned to Henry, who was still behind the wheel.
“How much longer until we reach the airport?”
“A little under thirty minutes,” Henry replied, eyes still locke...
South Korea
The wind whispered through the dense canopy, rustling leaves that shimmered like emeralds beneath the dappled sunlight. Insects buzzed lazily in the air, birds chirped overhead, and every inch of the forest pulsed with s...
“Of course, Hank. Do you have another surprise for me?”
Alex’s voice was light with curiosity, but beneath his casual tone lay a trace of anticipation. Ever since Hank had begun working on integrating the alien technologies Al...
The two vehicles from the enemy convoy that had gone airborne didn’t land cleanly. In fact, they rolled across the African savanna in spectacular fashion—crashing and flipping with a level of cinematic flair rarely seen outside a Holly...
"Alright, I do have some information to share."
Under the weight of expectant gazes, Alex exhaled slowly. His voice was calm, but each word landed like a hammer. He recounted the clash between him and Nathaniel Essex—how they'd ba...
Nathaniel Essex. A name that, in recent centuries, had faded into obscurity—buried beneath the tides of history, erased from textbooks, whispered only in the darkest corners of mutant lore.
But in truth, Essex was far more than a ...
After witnessing what happened to the first vehicle, none of the black men in the back of the pickups dared stand up to man the mounted machine guns again.
On terrain this uneven, even those wearing seatbelts inside the cab risked i...
"Finally, a worthy opponent!"
For the first time since his rebirth, Alex felt something he hadn’t experienced in years—a surge of adrenaline that wasn’t born of danger, but of excitement.
Every battle until now had ende...
BOOM!
The western wing of the sprawling mansion gave way with a deafening roar, collapsing into itself in a swirling storm of dust, shattered stone, and splintered wood. The shockwave rippled outward, rattling distant windows and sendin...
After securing their employer and the vehicle, Bryan quickly strapped on his own vest and said to Henry, “Vest? Gun?”
“Just give me a pistol. I don’t have a free hand right now.” Henry’s foot was nearly welded to the acc...
"Alex!"
Emma’s voice cut through the sterile air of the underground chamber, sharp with relief and certainty. The moment her eyes landed on him, that trademark calmness of hers cracked, replaced by something rare—genuine emotion...
BOOM!
The deafening sonic crack tore through the air, rattling the walls of the corridor like an earthquake. In the blink of an eye, Alex was gone, reduced to nothing but a streak of motion so fast that even the gas swirling around ...
