Humans' Limits 0389- Fragility

Lucas grinned, but no one was happy, no one resonated with his smile. Being the representative of a superpower didn't matter, no when power, as defined by the old era, was losing any meaning like sand leaving through the damn gaps that refused to close between fingers.

Lucas didn't care, and he continued the farce:

"The good news… is that I was in the middle of the explosion you have schemed to kill me with. I didn't die, but my family died. By the way, good job helping my son, I certainly appreciate that."

Lucas' grin failed to enthuse anyone, and his words which caused his teeth to shine even more in the darkness chilled the hearts of everyone. For them, that grin seemed like the devil baring its teeth at them, as its cold hand caressed their hearts.
