SPLASH

A body dropped into the icy river alongside the other debris falling alongside it, Maxwell fell limp into the river as he didn’t even try to put up a fight allowing his body to begin to sink naturally into the river. He couldn’t care less as all his attention was on the blue light he had seen that readily went into his hand the moment he stretched out to it, he was feeling a very cool and icy feeling wash over him as he could see streaks of blue run across his veins as from his hands he could see traces of frost and ice coming off him even before he entered the water, it was a strange phenomenon none the less as when he was sinking for some time he suddenly remembered that he was in the water;

“Hump…” he gave a big flap with his hand to make a swimming stroke as his speed in water was something he never could have dreamt about:

BOOM

A silent boom sound was heard as he broke through the water at neck break speed shooting upwards till he got out of the water and fell in again: ‘What the heck was that’ he wandered as he remained inside the water ‘I know I learnt how to swim because I wanted to be able any damsel in distress no matter the location but this is just ridiculous, it’s some Aquaman shit’ he thought as he suddenly remembered he hadn’t taken any breathe for over a few minutes as he began to struggle to swim to the surface but it then dawned on him that he didn’t actually need to breathe because, he was currently not needing to do so, but rather it looks as though his pores where rapidly expanding and contracting in minimal movements that might have been missed if not for his enhanced eyesight: ‘But how, this is practically impossible’ he thought as he looked at his pores and admired it with a smile ‘It has to be the blue light, it must be, I have read in various novels and seen many movies to know that’ he thought as he floated in the river, as debris continued to pour down as a car hit the water and heading straight down towards him as he lifted his hands up to shield himself:

SHHHHH

An icy sound was heard over him when he looked only to find the car that just entered the water already frozen above his head as not just it but the debris linked to it had frozen as well creating a kind of wall all the way up to the cliff preventing more debris or things from falling inside. Popping out his head from the water and seeing everything happening he quickly remembered something as he sped off in the water in a certain direction.

SPLASH

Maxwell came out of the water, as he began walking up the pavement of the sit-out, different people saw him pop out with his white shirt that was very wet as it stuck tightly to his body revealing the well-chiseled 6-packs of his and black pants that were soaked as well as it stuck closely to his thighs as well and his deep black hair fallen across his face as he had soft and gelled hair making him extremely hot at the moment as he emerged at the sit out. The couples sitting there were at first distracted by the sudden appearance of a man from the river, when as Maxwell walked out with all his unique features making the doves scamper away the ladies couldn’t hold themselves back as they threw lustful glances at him as some of them looked away shyly although turning around to steal glances at him, while if gazes could kill, Maxwell would have long been impaled by the numerous number of gazes he was receiving at this moment from the men and guys around as he didn’t seem to worry by throwing a few winks here and there to the ladies.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

‘Too bad that I have got something on my mind that I must do, tsk’ he thought as he walked away, looking for the nearest public place without a lot of people as his appearance and looks at this moment would shatter a lot of relationships. He located a bus stop in a secluded Junction as he sat patiently: “Damn it, I don’t even have my phone or wallet, how on earth am I supposed to get there” he said as he tapped his pocket looking for his properties. He had left all those at the place the incident happened as he had then swum some kilometers away, as due to his speed and the way he moved in the water he couldn’t tell how much he had covered as when he decided to come out after ten minutes, he discovered that he was thousands of miles away from home, and he needs to get to his brother’s game. He was honestly in a serious dilemma, getting power in the middle of nowhere for no reason and then suddenly covering half of the continent with water, it was quite frustrating, standing up he looked at the sun which at this time was high noon as it stood tall above every other thing burying their shadows underneath it:

“Ah, it’s too hot,” he said as he brought his hand upward to cover his eyes, he was beginning to sweat as he felt his energy leave him slowly “Looks like, I might be strong in water but I would be weak on land, am I a damned fish” he shouted in frustration as he began to move on foot “I never even liked water-based characters for starters damn it, they are so weak, why couldn’t I get something like fire, super strength, mind reading or even a fricking chainsaw in the head, that would have been a thousand times cooler than anything a water-based character could do,” he said as he kept walking:

“Hey, excuse me” a voice suddenly shouted from his side as he was jolted from his thoughts as he still walked,

“Oh hey,” turning his head as he saw a group of 3 beautiful ladies sitting in the car he delivered a smile making the other two seated at the back while the others seated at the front giggle to themselves indicating that they might have been talking;

“Uhm could you perhaps stop running or perhaps slow down, it’s hard to concentrate with legs on the gas” the girl driving spoke as Maxwell looked down:

“Running?” he asked slowly as he saw himself still walking but when he saw the car moving, it was moving by at least 30km’hr stunning him as he stopped in his tracks: “Apologies I never did intend to cause you trouble,” he said with a gentle smile and a slight bow, making the girl in the driver’s seat blush as she looked away:

“Uhm, Uhm, could you please point the way to New Gate High”

“Well, what do you know, I was heading there as well”.
