As the school day came to an end, Y/N and Ben strolled out of the building, engaging in a light-hearted conversation about their favorite video games.

Y/N remarked, "Man, I can't believe how epic that boss fight was! I almost thought we wouldn't make it."

Ben grinned and replied, "Yeah, but we make a great team. We should totally do a co-op mode this weekend!"

Y/N nodded enthusiastically, "Definitely! I'm up for it. Oh, by the way, thanks for introducing me to this game. It's awesome."

Their laughter echoed through the school grounds, but suddenly, Ben's cheerful expression turned serious.

Ben hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Hey, Y/N, I wanted to talk to you about something. My dad knows your parents, and he wanted to meet you sometime. Would you be okay with that?"

Curiosity piqued, Y/N replied eagerly, "Sure, I'd love to meet them! When can we do that?"

As they continued walking, Y/N's senses seemed to heighten for a moment. He swiftly pushed Ben to the ground, and Ben looked up in confusion, only to see a menacing figure approaching with a baseball bat.

Startled, Ben asked, "Whoa, what just happened? How did you know?"

Y/N's heart was racing as he eyed the approaching goon. He knew he had to protect his friend at any cost.

"I-I don't know, Ben. I just had this weird feeling. Let's get out of here," Y/N said, trying to sound calm.

Before they could escape, the goon swung the bat, but Y/N skillfully dodged the attack. His instincts kicked in as he fought back, using his quick reflexes and agility to defend himself and Ben.

"Stay back, Ben! I'll handle this guy!" Y/N called out, his voice determined.

Their confrontation intensified, and Y/N managed to disarm the assailant, sending the bat flying. He skillfully landed a few well-timed punches, sending the goon staggering backward.

As the goon retreated, Y/N quickly grabbed Ben's hand, and they ran for safety.

"Whoa, Y/N, you're like a superhero or something! How did you do all that?" Ben asked, panting.

Y/N tried to act nonchalant, not wanting to reveal too much. Even he was confused about all of these weird things going on with him. "I guess it's just adrenaline, Ben. Anyway, let's get out of here before he comes back with more goons."

As they distanced themselves from the scene of the altercation, Y/N's heart was still pounding with adrenaline and confusion. He couldn't believe what he had just done – effortlessly dodging a swing from a baseball bat and defending himself with unexpected agility. It was as if his body had reacted on its own, almost instinctively.

"What... what just happened back there?" Y/N mumbled, trying to catch his breath.

Ben, still amazed by Y/N's skills, replied, "I have no idea, but you were amazing! It's like you turned into a real-life superhero!"

Y/N shook his head, feeling bewildered. "I don't understand. I mean, I've always been athletic, but this was something else. It's like I had superhuman reflexes or something."

As they continued walking, Ben prodded further, "Do you think... maybe you're a mutant or something? Like those superheroes in the comics?"

Y/N chuckled nervously, dismissing the idea, "Come on, Ben. This is real life, not a comic book."

They bid their farewell, both confused and scared.
