Hooded Phantom Rebirth

Season 2: Episode 8

Joseph's POV

I found Davila working on the blood sample I gave him. I wanted to see what he came up with, so I walked towards him and waved. "Hey Davila. Discovered anything new about the sample I gave you?" I asked nonchalantly. He looked at me and gave me a quick smile before looking back at the sample.

"It's definitively different than anything I've ever seen before. These blood cells of yours still seem human, yet they've increased in divisional growth. It's not like a cancer cell, it doesn't seem to have any lasting damage. To put it simply, it seems to be helping your body," stated Davila. "What do you mean?" I asked. "What I'm trying to say is that you've seem to have gotten an increased healing factor. It certainly not as fast as Logan's nor Deadpool's, however it's a bit faster than other metahuman we've came across, but still very efficient," he said explaining more definitively.

I looked at him a bit shocked. "Well damn, that sure could've been useful," I continued. "Indeed. However, I still don't understand what other changes it's caused to your body and mind. So, I'll need to run some more tests on you," he said. I nodded. "Well let me just grab something to eat and then we'll get started with the proced-" I said as I turned and saw something in the corner of my eye. It looked exactly like the thing I saw in my dreams. But as I blinked, it disappeared, without a trace. I stood there in disbelief until Davila snapped me out of it. "Hey kid," he said. "You okay?," he asked, concerned. "Yeah..... I'm good. Just seeing things," I said shaking my head and then walking out the lab.

I entered Starbucks and looked around. As usual, there a lot of people. So I entered the line, ordered the usual, and began to wait, sitting in one of the tables. I sighed. Who or what the hell was that? And what does Zenith have to with any of this?*sigh* The deeper I go, the more questions I end up with. It's honestly starting to frustrate me.

I suddenly felt a tap and turned to see Eruin with two drinks, one of them being mine. I smiled. "Heeey, qué pasa hermano," said Eruin, giving me my drink. "No mucho. Solo tengo sed," I said, taking a sip of my delicious Java Chip Frappuccino. "Ja veo," he said taking a seat with me and taking a sip of his drink. "Hey Eruin. ¿Tú sabes ago del nuevo héroe qué vino un mes atras?" I said, asking him about the mysterious hero that show up. He told a long sip on his drink. "Hmm.....no se mucho. Yo solo se qué le llama Ladybug y que lo ayuda en sacando esas cosas de moco afuera de nuestras calles," he said. "I see," I said silently, taking another sip. "Joseph, quiero saber. Que te-" was all he said before a huge explosion was heard from outside. I quickly stood my instincts kicking in. "Eruin, quédate aquí y ayuda las personas," I said, taking off my jacket. "¿Y tú, qué vas a hacer?" He asked. "Yo voy a ver qué esta pasando," I said before running outside.

I looked around and saw people running away from something, something that was behind the fire and smoke. I heard it's loud high pitch growl. And as I got closer I could see the hidious creature. And the only word that came to mind was......

Akuma.
