Three years passed like a blink to Caleb as he began training his powers since he didn't have to worry about saving people again. He trained his mind in the early morning and before he went to bed every night, also trying to master keeping his mind awake while his body rested. Training his swords and aim with bows before lunch, he left his ability training for the rest of the day. Sometimes when he felt like he needed a break, he would either hangout with the other supers or go down to the manor where his friend lived. He knew it was risky but he liked having a friend who was normal and didn't obsess over his well being like a worried parent. He never did tell them that he had powers though because there wasn't an opportunity. He did promise himself that he would one day.
Today was one of those days where he felt like he needed a break so he tried to think of what to do. While he was, he looked across the room noticing how empty it was becoming since people started feeling comfortable enough to go outside. Some he knew had left to other places across the seas, others had the bad luck to be captured again by the lab. He had been putting off rescuing everyone because of waiting for the lab’s defences to lower again. Now he felt it was a good enough time to get a group together and rescue them as he did before. He went in the training room to their voted leader and brought forth his plan to save everyone again. He wasn't surprised when it was greatly agreed upon by everyone who overheard and eager to get at it.
The leader themselves were a bit hesitant. Not wanting to risk the safety of what they’ve kept for a while because of the rules they created with Caleb’s help. They most importantly didn't want Caleb risking his neck again knowing he was what the lab was after. It was common knowledge to the general public that there was someone who was extremely powerful in league with the supers. It started as a rumor because of what he did to save everyone until they got someone to admit to the truth behind it. Luckily for him, his powers and identity were never let go. All people knew was that he wasn't one of the known supers which wasn't much to go on, but it was a baseline which ended up giving the newer captured ones more headache. It was a wonder they kept him in the dark for so long about just how high the threat level was against him.
After a while of pestering, Caleb finally got them to agree to let him go out for a bit although making him promise to be extremely careful. He sighed in response to them because he would’ve been anyways. He didn't want to be captured just as much as they did knowing his role within the group. Getting some groups together, he got onto freeing all those he could find. It was far easier for Caleb this time around since his mind was far more advanced than the first time. He smiled as he thought of how far he’d come and was proud of his hard work. But as Caleb was getting to a certain part of town, he felt like someone was watching him. He didn't think too much of it since he was controlling air currents around him as well as being invisible. Something was telling him to take care though.
“Hey,” Caleb began in his head to the leader, hesitating to say the rest thinking he was being paranoid. “I have this unmistakable feeling that I’m being watched. And yes I am still invisible. Am I going crazy or…?”
“I don't know,” He heard their projected thought. “Just be careful ok? If something happens, call me right away. I’ll send out a team.”
Caleb nodded before realising they couldn't see it, “got it.” He took a few shaky breaths feeling nervous for a reason he couldn’t put a finger on. He then steeled himself focusing on his mission again. Eventually his gut was screaming at him and he paused midair and looked around for whatever could be the cause. Nothing. “I’ll just finish this tomorrow…” Caleb spoke to himself quietly. “I-... I can’t work like-”
