The Myst soon became the biggest news on TV, every night Jake was on patrol, journalist from every news network would be out trying to get a scoop, paparazzi wanted his pictures, women wanted to have his babies and criminals wanted him dead.
"Life's awesome" Jake thought to himself, summoning smoke that engulfed his body, before he teleported across another rooftop, landing as smoke dissipated from around his body further emphasizing the Myst in his name.
Over the weeks Jake has been adding some new powers when he fights as The Myst, first it was flames, that didn't work so well as he kept burning his suit causing Jenny to fix it or replace it, certainly he could have replaced it with his powers, but it felt right making Jenny do it seeing that she was the one who got it for him in the first place and she wanted to help. The second thing he tried was wind, that was better but he didn't use much control and almost killed his targets, litterally sucking the wind out them with the mini tornadoes he summoned.
The third thing was much better, Jake combined what he learned from his previous attempts and came up with lightning at a lower voltage, which would stun would be targets for a while until the authorities got there.
Everything was great, except when there were no criminals out and about, Jake would get bored as he watched the citizens go about their business unharmed, feeling totally safe as they went about their day carefree.
On those days Jake would wish someone would get mugged so he could intervene and save the day.
"Oh come on, look at this lady just counting the money she just withdrew from the ATM, as if there was no such thing as thieves anymore" said Jake bitterly as he watched from above.
"I'm calling it a night" he said before teleporting home.
"I'm home" he called as he started undressing, before stopping in mid-stride as he heard a muffled yelp coming from the kitchen.
"Draga what's going on, where are you?" he asked telepathically before making himself invisible.
"Draga, DRAGA" he called without hearing a reply.
"What the hell is going on?" thought Jake to himself while walking into the kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen, Jake saw that food was on the stove still cooking, after checking if the contents were cooked he switched the stove off extinguishing the low flame. Jake could feel something was strange in the kitchen so he sent out a pulse, a small one that would remain un-noticeable to an intruder but would make him know instantly what was happening if magic was involved. He waited sending out the pulse until it engulfed the whole house stopping at the protection barrier he had placed around it before hand.
"Reveal yourself" he said, making his voice reverberate throughout the house.
"Do it now before I get mad!" he said furiously as he watched for any sign of movement.
Suddenly someone was in front of him holding his hand over Jenny's mouth so she couldn't scream.
Jake teleported immediately behind the intruder, holding his sword at the man's neck before making himself visible and whispering "release her" in his ear.
"Wait Jake!" said Draga reading his master's intention.
"Easy now son, I just wanted to mess with you a little, see Jenny's alright" said the man as he released Jenny slowly and carefully as one wrong move could cost him his head...literally.
"Dad?" asked Jake as he recognized his father's voice suddenly.
"Yes son?" replied his father nervously.
"What are you doing here?" asked Jake confused
"Um do you think I can answer that AFTER you remove the sword from my neck?" replied the king rhetorically.
As Jake removed the sword from his father's neck he was greeted with a hug.
"I'm so proud of you" said the king as he hugged Jake close shaking him happily.
"What are you doing here?" asked Jake as he stood catching his breath that the king squeezed from him.
"I'm here to bring you back" said the king excitedly.
"We told you that as soon as we got news of Anerok we would contact you, and boy do we have news. We found out where the piece of shit bastard's hiding, and thought you'd want to be there when we go get him." said the king brimming with excitement.
Jake almost fainted, ever since he's been back on earth he hadn't thought a lot about Anerok and Anna, but now that his father reminded him of the betrayal and heartbreak he felt he was furious, so furious in fact that he began to scare Jenny as he shook clenching his fists.
"Lets go" he said as he lowered his gaze hiding the rage in his eyes from his sister.
"Wait I'm coming" said Jenny dishing what she cooked in containers and cleaning the pots before saying she was ready, as she got confused looks from the everyone in the room.
"What? There's now way I'm coming back to a house that's going to smell like rotten food, no way, we'll bring what I've cooked with us and share it as dinner for tonight." said Jenny before grabbing the stuff she had bagged before doing the dishes.
"Lets go Draga, back to where you can fly and I can sit on you shoulder" she said as she closed her eyes anticipating the bright light from the last time she traveled universes.
