It has been a few months since the incident with Eve and the robber, and since then, Eve has been going out at night to protect the town from would-be criminals.

Since then, a lot of the criminals have become much more open about what they do in order to bring Eve out, which only serves to get them crushed bones and legs.

Every time Eve catches one of these criminals, she leaves her mark: a swirling symbol like that of a universe that says, “If you cause problems for people, then I will crush you with all my might,” signifying that she is not playing around.

We cut to Eve, who is on her way to school dressed in casual attire, as she is now in the 9th grade. Surprisingly, even though she does her hero job at night, she is a straight-A student.

Eve does not have any friends, seeing as she tries to be alone, and the only person she will open up to or talk to is Paradox, her surrogate older brother.

She walks through the door of the high school and heads directly to class, only to be stopped by a kid who is 5’10”. He tells her that since she is new to the school, she has to give him her lunch money, to which she just responds by walking away.

As soon as she turns around and walks away, the boy, now angered that he was ignored, grabs her shoulder, only to have his arm grabbed and find himself lying flat on his back faster than he could blink, with Eve looking down at him.

“Don’t you ever put your filthy hands on me again, or else I'll cut your fingers off. Do you understand?” she says, giving him a killer stare that almost has the kid pissing his pants.

He quickly stands up and runs away, terrified of her. While Eve watches him run away, multiple other kids come up to her, praising her for what she did and saying that he also bullied them.

But even hearing all of this, Eve just up and walks away with not a care in the world, heading to her homeroom and sitting in the back seat right next to the window.

All of the kids pile into the room, taking their seats. As they do, a girl with raven black hair flowing down her back and jewel-like purple eyes sits right next to her. The girl looks over at Eve and says,

“Hey, my name is Kiana. It's nice to meet you,” she says with a beautiful smile.

“Hn. Eve,” Eve says simply, not one for conversation.

Undeterred, Kiana continues, “I saw what you did to that guy in the hallway. That was a pretty cool move,” she says, trying to make small talk.

“Hn. It was nothing. I learned it from my brother, is all,” Eve says matter-of-factly, as she looks up to her brother more than anything else.

“Hmm, brother. He must be one heck of a fighter to be able to make a move like that,” Kiana says, hoping this will get her to talk.

“Yes, my brother is the strongest person ever. No one can stand up to him,” Eve says with her chest puffed out, praising her brother.

“I hope I could meet him. Maybe he could teach me some moves,” Kiana jokes, but if you look at Eve, she is pretty annoyed as she does not want anyone else close to her brother.

“I doubt he would. He’s pretty stubborn and only does things when and how he wants to,” Eve says, hoping to keep her from asking about it.

“I see…” Kiana trails off before changing the subject. “Have you heard about that mysterious hero who's been taking down thugs and robbers?” she asks.

“Yes, I have. Whoever they are, it is pretty cool to be helping innocents like that,” Eve says with admiration in her eyes but not revealing that person is her.

“Yeah, I know. I wonder if they will ever show themselves to the public. I know if they did, I would become their number one fan,” Kiana says, showing how much she has been looking into this hero of the night.

Eve just listens to her talk, seeing that Kiana has gotten into her own little world and won't shut up about it.

“Oh, did you also know that their name is Omni Eve? One of the thugs they took down told the police that's what they called themselves,” Kiana says.

Eve nods, signifying that she already knows the name of the hero before saying, “What do you even like about that hero in the first place?” she asks, her curiosity piqued.

Kiana goes off on a rant about why she likes Omni Eve, which Eve zones out of, only picking up on how she admires how she fights for justice and helps those in need.

They spend the rest of the day talking about Omni Eve until school ends. Kiana follows Eve around, wanting to be friends, but Eve herself just wants to be left alone.

We find them at the local Metro Park, where Eve is seen eating some ice cream, which she does every day, and beside her, you see Kiana walking along with her.

As they are walking, they see a group of thugs holding a local jewelry store hostage. Kiana scrambles to call 911, while Eve makes her escape, going into a secluded area and changing into her hero costume.

Next thing you know, Omni Eve, dressed in her red and silver hero outfit, appears, looking no older than fourteen years old. She glares at the thugs, who pull out pistols and fire multiple bullets at her, which all stop mid-air right after they are fired.

The thugs are shocked that their bullets stopped in place, and the next thing you see is that Omni Eve points her fingers at them, sending their bullets crashing through them and leaving them seriously injured. Right then, the cops pull up, prompting Omni Eve to use her psychic powers to fly away.

The scene pans to Eve, who appears again back where Kiana was, and looks at her in shock and happiness, as Kiana thought Eve went over to do something and had gotten killed.

“Eve, where have you been? I was worried sick about you,” Kiana asks.

“Well, you see, I had to make a quick restroom break. It took a little longer than I thought, is all,” Eve clarifies, hoping to calm down Kiana’s needless worrying.

“Well, I'm happy to see that you are safe, Eve... Can't have my new friend getting killed on me,” Kiana jokes, trying to lighten up the mood, more so for herself.

“Well, why don’t we get out of here before anything else happens?” Kiana says, taking Eve’s hand and walking away.

Eve, for the most part, allows it to happen, seeing as, even if she does not want to get attached, she is starting to like Kiana.

They exit Metro Park and begin walking about town. Their stomachs grumble, telling them it is time to eat, so they head over to the nearest fast food restaurant, which is WicDonald’s. They head inside and order some cheeseburgers, fries, and drinks.

They spend the rest of the day chatting and getting to know each other before they go their separate ways, planning to hang out more some other time.

After going her own way, Eve finds herself back home where she sees Paradox, her brother, sitting down watching some random anime.

“I’m back,” Eve says as she walks into the living room, taking off her shoes. It seems Paradox did not hear her as he is too engrossed in the anime. Testing his fighting senses, she uses her psychic powers to launch a nearby metal vase at him, which hits him because he isn't paying attention.

After being hit by the vase, Paradox finally registers that Eve is back and says, “Welcome home,” as if she didn’t just throw something at him.

“Glad to see that you are back, Eve. We will begin your training after you get some rest,” Paradox says before adding, “And how was school?” he asks curiously.

“It was good. I made a friend; her name is Kiana,” she says, walking to her room to change.

As you look at the house, you can see it is far bigger than before, as Paradox did some renovations to provide Eve with a room.

A few minutes later, Paradox and Eve find themselves in a pocket dimension that Paradox created to increase the speed of Eve's growth. The dimension is filled with giant metal rods, metal buildings, and lava flowing everywhere.

“In this place, time flows differently here as one hour equals one minute in the real world. To start, I want you to try and lift one of those metal rods,” Paradox tells Eve as they watch from a distance.

Eve uses her psychic power to try to lift the rod, but only for her nose to start bleeding and the rod not to burst.

Eve releases her power and falls backward onto the ground.

“I hope you didn’t think this would be easy,” Paradox says, giving an unnerving gaze to Eve. “These rods weigh around ten tons; it will be some time before you can pick them up with your powers.”

Eve grumbles, wiping the blood away from her nose, and goes back to using her psychic powers to try and lift the metal rod.

This time, Eve reduces the strain on her mind by using minimal power, lifting the rod an inch off the ground before she is blasted back two meters by her own powers.

Paradox, for the most part, just floats in the air watching over her training. He notices that Eve has a habit of using her power without restraint, which could lead to her using too much power one day and causing herself to explode.

This training is to help her gain control over her power and limit how much she uses in her attacks.

Switching back to Eve, she stands back up as she gets a brilliant idea. She uses her power to lift only one side of the rod, lessening how much force is pushing against her mind.

By doing so, Eve is able to lift that one side five inches off the ground before she releases control of it and takes a break.

Paradox claps his hands, commending her progress.

A few weeks pass, and Eve goes in and out of the dimension with Paradox's help. She has been going to school, bonding with Kiana, and going to all sorts of places.

During that time, Eve was also able to lift the ten-ton metal rod, showing her progress and control over her powers.

“Bravo, Eve. You have done well,” Paradox floats down in front of her, adding, “Now I want you to lift ten of these metal rods at once. After that, we will start your hand-to-hand training.” Paradox leaves to continue his own training just in case he finds someone equal to him to be ready.

Eve thanks her brother as she goes back to training. First, she lifts one rod, then, at the same time, uses her psychic powers to lift two.

She finds that even though there is some strain, she is able to lift both rods with ease, moving them around in the air with her mind.

She goes for a third, but it is her limit as she is only able to get it off the ground a little bit.

“This is so annoying. Why can’t I do this?” she grumbles, lifting one of the metal rods and launching it at high speed at a nearby mountain, crushing it.

Watching the mountain gives her an idea!

Three days later, you can see Eve lifting ten of the ten-ton metal rods, moving them around in the air so fast it creates a twister, pulling the ground up into the air.

She senses Paradox’s return and, to show her progress, she launches the metal rods at him.

Paradox, expecting this and knowing that his little sister likes testing his reflexes, catches all of the metal rods in both of his hands with ease.

“I see you have completed your training,” Paradox says as if he didn’t just have ten ten-ton rods flying at him at speeds faster than you can hear.

“Now it’s time for your hand-to-hand combat training,” he states changing into his [Human] form before he charges at her without warning, throwing a right hook at her.

Eve closes her eyes as she uses her sense of sound to locate the punch since her eyes cannot follow it.

She jumps to the left, dodging the punch from Paradox, who then sends an axe kick straight down. Eve flies into the air to avoid it just as the strike impacts the ground, creating a massive crater.

Eve thinks that if she were to clash fists with Paradox, it would break all the bones in her arms, so she uses her psychic powers to create a sort of psychic gloves around her hands to keep his fists from actually touching her.

With that and her eyes still closed, she launches herself at high speed, rushing Paradox and throwing punches at him while using her senses to predict his attacks.

Paradox clashes his fist with Eve's and feels her psychic gloves repulsing his hand away from hers, keeping them from actually colliding.

Impressed by this, Paradox throws a barrage of punches, increasing his power to test how long Eve can keep her gloves on her hands and maintain her concentration.

Eve starts to get pushed back as she has a hard time sensing all of Paradox’s attacks, but she keeps her focus, anticipating his moves.

Hours go by during their hand-to-hand training, and Eve becomes able to see into the future and predict Paradox's attacks up to one minute in advance, allowing her to land a few punches on him.

We pan over to Paradox, who is surprised—not that Eve landed punches on him, as he was holding back a lot, but more so that the punches not only landed but burned his skin with her psychic gloves and attacked the organs inside his body, breaking through his defenses.

Paradox decides to call the training off, seeing as Eve has completed the tasks he gave her faster than he thought.

“You did an amazing job, Eve. Your power is increasing by the day,” Paradox praises Eve, who beams with happiness knowing she made him proud.

“Thank you, brother. That means a lot to me,” she says before adding, “Also, these psychic gloves—I think I’ll continue training with them so I get used to using them.”

“That’s a good idea. Those gloves are very dangerous. Even in my human form, they were able to break through my defenses, which is a surprise,” Paradox says, indicating that they are in their human form where the only thing different is that they do not have black markings on their bodies while everything else stays the same.

With their training complete, both Paradox and Eve head back home so that they can rest up for the other things they need to do.
