Syd scrolls his finger on his phone's screen, taps the gallery, and shows them the picture of 4 people.

Syd is in the middle of a frame, on the left is a girl who looks relate to him by the hair color. Next to the girl is a blue-haired boy.

On the right is a green-haired boy, he wears pink glasses.

They sure have known each other for a long time.

“The green-hair guy. His name is Mickey Mannix. The girl next to me is Roxxy Barrett, my sister. And next to her is Toshi Ishii, of course, he's Japanese but he can speak English.”

“These three will join us?”

Jody asked.

“Yeah. That's what they said.”

“Are they all ability users?” asked Sera.

“ Yes, they are.”

“What are their powers?”

She keeps asking.

“You'll know when you see them.”

On the morning of the next day.

7:30 A.M.

Seraphina Gilmour walked out of her luxury mansion in the student uniform.

After she made sure that she didn't forget anything back there, she carried her brand name handbag, put the air-pods in her ears, and headed to the underground station.

10 minutes later.

Arriving at the underground station, Sera's ready to jump in the Subway, coming in like 10 meters away from her.

But then something stops her from continuing.

Sera spots a man with long green hair among the crowd of people.

She looks at him for a second, doesn't sure if he's the same person Syd told her yesterday.

(.... Maybe he's not... A lot of people [ in this story] have green hair...)

She didn't think too much about it plus the Subway has already arrived.

.

.

.

.

Not for long, Sera got herself to the underground station near the school.

She walks up the stairs, enters the walking street, on the way to school.

But something happens...and it makes Sera realized that something's wrong.

Because Sera eyes spot that same person with green hair again. And he's sitting in the Cafe near the school, sipping a coffee.

“What the...?...His dress... Although I only saw his back, I remember his dress very well... This is the same person back there! ...how did he get here? I don't remember him taking a subway! ...But even he takes the subway...there's no way he can get over here this fast! ... Or did he come by taxi?...but the traffic this morning is very jammed! ”

*pant* *pant* *pant* ....

“.....Or... To be positive... It may be a Dejavu....? ”

Glaring at him from a far distance, Sera noticed something on his face. And this simultaneously reminded her that this isn't coincident.

The Pink Glasses!

“ He wears pink glasses?!... This... This is not a coincidence anymore! This is him! He must be Mickey Mannix! ”

Sera went straight to the Cafe.

“ But how did he get here that fast?...no...the main question is why is he here?!... OH! Maybe he's here to meet Syd himself? Then where's another 2?? ”

Sera stopped between the Cafe's entrance.

She completely ignores the staff.

“... Hold up... why is he here alone? ... This doesn't make sense at all! He should go for Syd first! He shouldn't be chilling around here... There's no reason to show up in a public place rather than Syd's house! ”

Sera slowly stepped her foot backward.

*pant* *pant* *pant* *pant*

A sudden question pops up inside her head.

“Is he actually the real Mickey Mannix?”

It may seem crazy and dumb to ask that, but Sera actually skeptical about this.

“ I don't know if I can apply a movie into real-life, but ... What if someone, who has already figured out Syd's secret mission and known that I got involved with, tries to approach me with a disguised as Mickey Mannix?!...”

She slowly walked backward 'til she got herself out the Cafe.

“ I must call to Syd! Yes! That's right! I must call him! To confirm if his allies are already at his house or not! ”

Sera pulled out her iPhone and called to Syd Barrett.

“......”

“.......”

“ Come on...Syd!... Pick it up! ”

!!!!

Sera noticed that a man in pink glasses has turned his face into her direction.

She quickly gets herself away from the Cafe, but too late.

Mickey Mannix rose from a chair.

He's coming into her way!

“ Shit! He knows!”

Sweat runs down her forehead, the only thing in her head right now is to do anything she could to get away from that person, whether he's real Mickey or not.

*pant* *pant* *pant* *pant*

“ Damn it! Why didn't he pick up my ph---”

Sera looked at the phone screen. Suddenly she found that something weird happened to her phone.

“ ((Shock)) ”

Although her battery is 98% and it is ios when she tried to touch the screen or swipe it left and right, the touch screen doesn't respond to her finger.

As if it is lagging.

But she knows it's impossible for the iPhone.

“ What the bloody hell??... M-my phone... Some how...out of nowhere...It suddenly...stopped working?!....”

However, there's no time to find a reason. The reflection on the touch screen shows a man in pink glasses approaching Seraphina from behind.

No need to tell, He's definitely coming to her.

“ !!!! ”

Sera starts running away!

“ The school! I should cross over the school's fence! An outsider won't be allowed to get in! ”

“ I don't know if he's the real Mickey Mannix! But enemies may come in different forms! this may be one of them! Or he is the real Mickey... However...I don't trust like that! ”

Sera looked around while she's running.

“All around me is full of people crowding on the street...and some of the students too! This may help me to get away from him!”

*pant* *pant* *pant* *pant*

(( intense walking))

“ Is he still following me?....(pant) ... Bet he is... Shit!... What if he still follows me inside the school?!...”

“ Do you think you can fade away? ”

“ !!!!!!!!!!!! ”

Sera immediately turns her head around for that sound she doesn't know where did it come from.

“ I'm asking you. Seraphina Gilmour. Do you think you can slip away?...”

(( Visible shock))

“...!!! The Air-Pods!!!... He's speaking to me through the Air-pods?!...”

Sera was shocked.

( ( Intense panting) )

“ Let me guess. You are planning to get inside the school so that I couldn't keep following. Yes? ”

“ !!!! ”

*pant* *pant* *pant* *pant*

“Now, let me tell you one thing, Seraphina Gilmour. It wasn't a coincidence that your phone stopped working. It wasn't because your phone died or hang or anything. But it was the "Current" within the phone itself that has been stopped.”

“ ?!... What the... What did you just say?... Wait...what's going on?!...”

Sera was sweating.

... No reply from the mysterious voice...

“ Fuck!... He's taking advantage of me now! .... Under these surroundings... He can approach me in any direction... ”

Sera is still running towards the school entrance.

“... Do you know how fast can a current journey in one's conductor? ...”

That voice came up again.

However, Sera didn't care.

The only target for her is to reach the school.

The voice didn't wait for her to answer.

“ it's 285,102,607 meters per second in the metric system. That's about 95% of light's speed. And you're only 20 meters away from your school. Do you think you can reach there before me?”

*Pant* *pant* *pant* *pant*

“ If you're in the countryside, you may make it. But right now you are in London. Seraphina Gilmour, are you still trying to get away with that speed of yours?”

“ ... No... ”

Sera finally said something.

Her contradictory reply made a person inside her air-pods stunned for a second. Because Sera got herself next to the wall next to her school.

“... You didn't even realize, did you? Because right now... You're not around me...but you. You are inside my air-pods.”

“.... And? ...”

“ You don't even see what's going on outside? Huh, Mickey? ”

!!!!!!!

At this time, both Seraphina's air-pods are being coated by a rubber!

The table has turned.

“... You told me yourself, don't you?

You said that all these errors of my electric devices are no coincidence! This means your power has something to do with Electricity, isn't it? To think about it, it all makes sense! The way you got yourself here even before the train! Combine with your power! There's only one solution! You came here not by the subway! But through the electric wires in the station! ... Now I don't know how... Must be your ability, I assumed. And right now you're in my Air-pods!”

Seraphina Gilmour takes both her air-pods off her ears, both of them are fully coated by elastic rubber she secretly grew.

“ Now, what I should do was just to trap you in this electric device! Rubbers are non-conducting material! You can't go anywhere now! ”

“... This girl!!! ....”

“... You're trapped now! There's no way you can get yourself out of that place without going through the conductor, can't you.”

Sera grins.

“ Now, just think about it, what will happen if I throw these air-pods in the crushing machine? Or place them on the street, waiting for cars to run over? I'm kinda curious about what will happen to you? Will you get instantly crushed alive? Or you can make an escape? But don't forget that Rubber is an elastic material. the air-pods inside will be crushed before rubber ... Oopsy, daisy, ... Don't worry...I can buy a new one later.”

“......”

“ Now if you don't wanna die! Then tell me who the hell are you!! You have 3 seconds! 3.....2......1....----”

“... You're better than I expected. Seraphina Gilmour. However... Your assumption on my ability is just half correct but Not bad for civilians.”

“ Augh---?!?!?! ”

A "Hand"... A blue human "hand" comes out of Seraphina's phone screen and grabs her wrist.

“ Ekkk?!... WHAT THE FUCK?!?!...”

She shocked.

It grabs her tighter.

But it's not just right there. There's more! A person is trying to craw out of Sera's phone.

She can't throw it away because of the grab.

It is very fast. In a blink of an eye.

A man with green hair, pink glasses finally standing in front of her.

Face to face.

“ Shit! ”

Sera tried to rush backward but it's no use. Because this man slams his hand against the wall, blocking Sera from getting away.

“ ..... ”

In this distance, very very face to face, Sera looked straight at his face, shaking.

Her heartbeat is getting faster and faster.

“ You are doing great. Suspecting if it was a real me or not.”

He then takes her phone and shows it to her face.

Blue lightning surrounds his hand, going into Sera's phone. Somehow it makes her phone runs again.

“?!”

Sera stunned at what's happening.

The screen continues on what Sera had done, calling to Syd Barrett, not for long... Syd picks up the call.

“ ...Sera?. ”

That man tells Sera,

“ Tell him what's happening.”

“......”

“......”

She starts to speak, however, still looking in his eyes.

“..... Syd... Y-your... Your friend... Mickey Mannix... Is he...with ...you? ”

“...Oh, I'm gonna tell you soon, Is he already there? Damn, that 4 eyes motherfucker sure wants to see you. He went out just like 5 minutes ago. Does he do anything to you? ”

Syd asked.

Mickey does the face "Go on...tell him" to her.

“.... N...No... He ...just...----”

Sera is speaking but Mickey puts the phone away from her face and talks to Syd himself.

“ Bro, what the fuck, You just call me " 4 eyes MotherFucker" ??? We haven't talked about that last time when I was in the middle of Shabbat! remember it??? You sure got some mother fuckin' nerve calling me on Shabbat, on some little bull shit ass bitch. You better calm that shit down,and show me some fucking respect before me and my Jewish homies come down and beat your racist ass. I'll tell you that”

At that moment Sera knew...

He's the real Mickey Mannix.
