Chapter 24: The Traitor's Return

Emma's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Alex, her mind reeling with questions. How was he alive? Why had he betrayed her?

Alex's smile grew wider as he took a step closer to Emma. "You're surprised to see me," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm flattered."

Emma's anger flared, her powers surging to the surface. "You betrayed me," she spat, her voice venomous. "You helped the Master."

Alex shrugged, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I did what I had to do," he said. "And now, I've come to finish what I started."

Emma's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with possibilities. What did Alex want? And what was he planning?

As she stood there, frozen with indecision, Alex raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The sound echoed through the rooftop, and Emma felt a strange sensation wash over her.

Suddenly, the world around her began to distort and blur. Emma stumbled, her vision spinning.

And when she looked up, Alex was gone.

But the words he had whispered in her ear lingered:

"You'll never be able to trust yourself again."
