Meanwhile…
“Hey Uriel…” Chelsea calls Uriel as she approaches him, she has a lollipop on her mouth and plays with it. Uriel looks at her and asks:
“What do you want?”
“So cold...that’s what I like about you..” Chelsea says as she takes the lollipop out of her mouth; “So, it’s been a couple of weeks, and you haven’t fulfilled the promise that you made me...remember…”
“Ahh...yes...I promised you a date if you gave me information about Alejandro on that night right?”
“That’s right...I thought you had forgotten…”
“Not at all...there is a reason why you aren’t involved in the mission...I asked Kasumi to keep you out because tomorrow we’re going to see a movie…”
Chelsea opens her eyes wider as she is surprised; “Really?” She let’s go off the lollipop.
“That’s right...I’ll come get you at 7pm okay...be prepared…” Uriel begins to walk away leaving Chelsea blushing and smiling.

At the Clubroom…
“Alright Stefan, what did you want to tell us?” Alejandro asks Stefan, Stefan looks at both sides, checks that the windows and doors are locked and says:
“I know who the next victim is…”
“Wait you know who is the next victim?”
“That’s right…” Stefan takes out his phone and shows a voice recording application as he explains; “Last night, there was an attack on the east side...I have a police radio that permits me hear their conversation...After hearing about a mysterious attack and a murder...I went to investigate...that’s when I recorded this from the kid who was in the house…”
Stefan puts play. Carlos, Tiwa and Alejandro begin to listen:
“Who did this son?
The Boogeyman…he took Lucia and he is going to get me...”
“That BS...his a kid, I mean maybe it was a guy who interrupted the house…” Carlos says as he puts his legs on the table crossing them. -PPUUMM- Tiwa kicks him saying; “Don’t do that to my table…”
Stefan gets mad; “This is true...read the articles, the siblings of the missing children say the same thing...The Boogeyman took them...we think that because they are children, they don’t know but...I know they are telling the truth…”
Carlos sighs; “If you say so…” Tiwa also doesn’t believe him. Alejandro thinks about his childhood and how no one believed him that an Angel saved his life. He begins to say; “I believe you…”
“Really?” Stefan asks with excitement. Alejandro nods in agreement, Stefan begins to say; “I knew that you would believe me...now then, I learned that the boy is in the general hospital...let’s meet up in three hours outside...at 7pm to interview him...I need to go get ready…”

Stefan grabs his stuff and jumps to the window, he turns around and gives a thumbs up; “I’ll see you then…”
“HEY...USE THE DOOR LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE…” Tiwa screams, irritated. Tiwa sighs; “Are we going to seriously work with him?”
“Hell no...here is the plan. Alejandro, you will go with him through the main entrance...Tiwa and I will investigate undercover.
“Wait why? I can also join you guys…” Alejandro says disappointed. Carlos begins to explain; “Look, we need someone who can distract that idiot and he seems to like you the most…”
“Alejandro, you have no skills to go undercover...I’m afraid, I will need to agree with Carlos on this one…”
“Oh alright…” Alejandro sighs disappointed.
“Now then, time to come out with our strategy…” Carlos says as Alejandro and Tiwa listen.
***************************************************************************
After the meeting, Alejandro decided to walk to his apartment and get something to eat;
“Aww man, I really wanted to go undercover…” Alejandro says to himself as he reaches the main doors of the school. Suddenly, he hears a feminine voice that makes him stop:
“Hi, Alejandro…” Alejandro nervously turns around and sees a beautiful girl with purple hair and blue eyes; “H-H-Hello Valerie...how are you doing today?”
Valerie gets closer to him and says; “I’m doing well...and what about you? How have you been feeling…”
“GREAT, I AM TOP SHAPE!” Alejandro flexes his arm joking around. Valerie grabs his arm and says; “I can feel it…”
(GULP)
Alejandro blushes and takes a step back, he then begins to think; “To be honest...ever since that night, I haven’t been able to activate my esper suit...the teacher said; “You were really lucky to have activated your suit but that was a fluke...you need time to train and get your body accustomed…”
“Is something wrong?” Valerie asks Alejandro, Alejandro notices Valerie too close to him and panics. Valerie chuckles; “I guess you’re alright...but answer me this...why do you smell like another girl’s perfume?”
(GULP)
Alejandro gets even more nervous as he remembers he was with Marjorie not too long ago. Valerie’s eyes turn hollow as she smiles; “Don’t tell me that you’re actually cheating on me…”
“No...it’s just…”
“Well hello, Ms. Di Fiore...would like me to walk you home?” Alejandro hears a male voice approaching. Valerie changes her expression to a frightened one and grabs his arm tightly. Alejandro sees the counselor, Alberto Gonzalez walking towards them. Alberto is a tall handsome man with brown skin and combed black hair. He drives the girls from the school crazy.

“N-N-No...I am going with him…” Valerie says in a frightened tone. Alberto begins to pull her arm; “Oh come on, there is no need to be shy...I can give you a ride on my Bently...and that way you won’t have to suffer.”
Alejandro notices Valerie’s fear and steps in between them; “Excuse me but I will take her home…”
“Oh, the Student Council President, I didn’t notice you were there…” Alberto makes fun of Alejandro who gets angry. Alberto continues to speak; “If you don’t mind, I am speaking with Valerie here, so back off…”
Alejandro gets mad; “Well excuse me...but I was speaking to her first, and unless it is a great importance, a member of the staff shouldn’t be offering a ride to the students, unless you are a pedophile right?”
“What did you say?You brat…” Alberto gets mad as he hears that, Valerie chuckles. Alejandro grabs her hand and they begin to run outside as he says; “Later, old man…”
“Such insolence…” Alberto says as he sees them off, he begins to smile thinking; “No matter, one day I’ll make her mine and that brat will pay…”
Alejandro and Valerie stand on the other side of the school. He breathes heavily as he says; “ I think that’s far enough...are you okay?”
“Yeah…” Valerie also breathes heavily, and they decide to sit on a bench below a tree. Wind blows softly as Valerie says; I’m sorry,that man has been harassing me ever since I entered the school...and to be honest, I’ve been trying to stay away. Uriel has told me to defend myself and hit him, but I don’t want to cause any trouble and besides...that manna…”
Alejandro looks at her with a determined face and grabs her shoulder; “Valerie...I swear to you that I will protect you from him no matter what…”
Valerie smiles and begins to tease; “Oh really? Is that a proposal?” Alejandro panics; “It’s nothing like that...I mean…”
“Just kidding...you are so much fun…” Valerie smiles at him. Alejandro changes his expression to a serious one; “Listen Valerie...tomorrow, I am going with Marjorie to eat dinner…”
Valerie’s expression changes as she asks; “Is that so? Why are you telling me this?”
“Because I don’t want you to think of anything else...I will go with her but because there is something important I need to tell her…”
“I see...so you are two timing…”
“What? No...I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU AND…” Alejandro realizes what he said and immediately gets red. Valerie also gets red as she says; “Is that so? Well then…” She gets closer to him and whispers to his ear; “When you finish with her, come see me...I will be in La Plaza de los Lagartos (Alligator Plaza) at 9pm...remember that you are mine…”
Alejandro’s eyes open wider as he feels Valerie’s lips on his cheek. Valerie finishes kissing his cheek and stands up; “Thank you for defending me and being honest with me...I’ll be waiting for you…” Valerie begins to leave, Alejandro is left paralyzed. At that moment, Anastasia jumps down the tree, surprising him; “Big brother, it’s time to leave…”
“Y-Y-Yeah…” Alejandro stands up grabbing his cheek. Anastasia looks at him and asks; “Are you alright?”
“I am...don’t worry...listen, what do you want to eat?” Alejandro asks Anastasia; “Chicken…”
“Alright, let’s go…” Alejandro says with a great smile. Anastasia is left wondering; “Is Big Brother happy for that kiss?”
Valerie walks the other way when she hears a voice; “Are you done?” Valerie stops and smiles; “Oh my, are you jealous Big Brother?”
Uriel walks towards her and says; “Not at all...listen, tomorrow…”
“You have a date ehh...you gigolo…” Valerie teases him, Uriel smiles as he asks; “What do you want for dinner?”
“I want pizza and hamburgers…”
“Very well...let’s go buy some…”
“YYYAAYYYY!” Valerie says with excitement. The two of them head to their Apartment. Uriel and Valerie notice that someone was spying behind the tree.
“Big Brother?”
“Just ignore them…” Uriel says to Valerie as they continue to walk. The ones behind them were Angela and Victoria.
“Hey Victoria, do you think this is alright?” Angela asks worriedly. Victoria looks at her and says; “Of course, we want to know more about Uriel right? Well, we must do some investigation…come on…”
Victoria begins to walk trying to catch up, Angela sighs; “If you say so…”
The two of them begin to follow the siblings…
The two girls tried to follow them but Uriel and Valerie disappeared from their sight...their mission failed…

Eternity
What is it like to live forever? Is it a blessing? To experience the world changing around you, unaffected by time? For Typhos Dillian, immortality is a curse. He had all the time in the world to learn new things, but instead he spends his time wishing to die. Haunted by ghosts of his long past, Typhos spends his days drinking, having sex, and attending his job as a barkeep. Worst of all, he keeps his powers locked away. He has seen the world change. What once was common, mana, is now a rare trait. Those with mana are heralded as either monsters or heroes, and Typhos wants no part of it. However, when something happens to one of his rare friends, Typhos might be forced to once more activate the terrible power that has been dormant inside of him for years. Note: If you do not like overpowered characters, leave now, he's quite old.

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
