Was I really about to be handed over to Jason? My chest tightened and I could barely breathe. “Five million going…” the manager announced, practically vibrating with excitement. He looked like a man who had just won the lottery. He lifted the mallet, ready to slam it down and close the deal; but he was suddenly interrupted… "FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS..." A deep, calm voice came from the back and the whole room froze. Every head turned slowly towards the entrance. I squinted through the harsh stage lights, trying to get a glimpse of who the person was. A tall figure stood near the exit, completely still, like he had been there the entire time watching.

“Nobody is marrying anybody. We’re just… dating.” Theo held up his phone. “Group chat name: ‘Team Fifth Vow.’ I’m making it.” Ava lunged toward him. “DO NOT MAKE A GROUP CHAT!” Theo ran. “It’s TOO LATE, MA!” Maya laughed, tears in her eyes. “Oh my God… this family is… everything.” Marvella whispered, “Lord give me strength.” Ava turned to Marcus, mortified. “They’re insane.” He smiled softly. “I love them.”

"If only we had a shot put or something… You'd be able to throw with the force of a bomb." My mom didn't refuse and started picking up stones herself. Deciding it was safer to avoid the highway for fear of retaliation from the group, we decided to get off the highway. After walking a few kilometers, Ashton suddenly took my mom's hand with a serious expression and apologized. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Olson. I lied to you. I'm not an ordinary person. I'm also a mutant, and my ability involves having an alternate space."

—Tracy. Beneath the caption was a video link. His hands trembled as he clicked it open. The screen filled with the image of me, painting. It was a step-by-step chronicle, from the initial pencil sketch to the meticulous finishing touches. Each stroke carried the weight of dedication and love. The version of me in the video smiled softly as I spoke to the camera. "This is my fifth-anniversary gift for my husband. Dennis Malcolm, thank you for staying by my side."

Chapter Two Of all the friends that Sam had me introduced to, I particularly had a liking for Felix. He was unique in a way and we seemed to share the same interests, like the love for superheroes, most specifically the Superman guy. Eventually, we got bored of playing soccer and some of the kids we were playing with headed to their homes. It was too early for us to go home, so we decided to play Hide and Seek afterwards, a game in which you hide and someone has to find out where you are. It was only the three of us, Sam, Felix and I. You know how the kids back in the rurals are always controlled by the city kids? Well, Felix and I hid and I made Sam look for us. After struggling, he finally

I said. “Holy shit! You went for an apology and still got fucked!” bella said. “What?” I asked. “I can't still wrap my head around you been with all five of them, it's crazy,” she said again. “Oh, stop speaking like my grandma, let her live her life however she wants” Jan said, doubling over in laughter. “How you seriously judging me?” I asked. “Girl, everyone is taking. I don't want to talk too much but I think five is really a lot,” bella said.

Kristof acts surprised, making me roll my eyes. “How were you going to inform me? Via a fire opal?” I tease. We never communicate by phone or email unless necessary, and even then, we don’t use our own devices. “Telepathically.” He winks, leading the way to the basement. Just like he said, Father is awake, staring up at the ceiling. I hurry to the side of his bed, carefully taking his hand. “You woke up.”

I had failed her. "I understand, Mom. Don't worry. I'll take a few days to adjust. Once I finalize my divorce, I'll return to the company." She studied me carefully, as if trying to confirm the truth for herself. "This time… you really mean to divorce her?" I gave no reply, only a heavy, silent nod. Confusion clouded her features. She couldn't understand why, after five years of relentless persistence, I had suddenly let go. "Mom… Jake isn't my child."

Frederick said as he took Jennifer’s hand and began to walk away. "Mr. Lester, watch out!" Levi suddenly shouted. Frederick looked up, and saw a shadowy figure darting toward them like a ghost. Amid the blur, he caught a glimpse of a "V" symbol. "You’ve got some nerve to step into Mirage!" Frederick’s face darkened. In an instant, he intercepted the figure. "Remember, the one who kills you is Five!" The attacker revealed himself as Five from Organization V. Five struck out at Frederick with a powerful blow. Frederick met his attack with equal force. The impact of their clash sent a cloud rising into the sky, as if a nuclear explosion had occurred.

Never. “Ugh,” said Maurice. “Honestly, worst superhero team, ever.” “Oh.” Claire’s wagging tail abruptly stopped wagging. “Really? I thought—” “Think about it. Invisible Woman, because she turns invisible, fine. Human Torch, obvious, no problem. The Thing, okay. And then Reed Richards. How much of an egomaniac do you have to be to call yourself Mr Fantastic? And what’s that got to do with stretching your arms? Mr Elastic, sure. But Mr Fantastic? If I was in that team, I’d be like, why don’t you Mr Fuck Off?”
