Gift 1

31 August, 12040.

Darren and Alesia got over their differences in a few hours. They both had work to do. They decided that bickering and passive aggression was not the most productive way to spend the few remaining days they had together.

Returning to the routine training schedule, Darren honed his running and flight speed every day. Alesia opened the Sandbox Simulation Chamber for additional combat training. Darren gained more experience with the foreshadowing of some of the harsh realities of being a superhero.

Collateral damage and the destruction of public and private properties occurred more often than Darren anticipated. He thought if he could control his strength, people and property would not be collateral damage. Alesia showed him, his opponents most likely would not care about injuring civilians and destroying buildings. In the end, he would be the one to blame for all the destruction.
