Chapter 12.

An older adult in a chauffeur's suit got out of the car, and opened one of the rear doors of the car, waiting for Felicia to get into it.

"See you in class," Felicia said with a frown as she looked at the car.

Alex didn't reply and just nodded.

Felicia walked to the car and got in it. The driver turned to see Alex and bowed slightly before getting into the car.

When Felicia got into her car she saw a grown woman, very much like her. This woman was none other than Felicia's mother. She was dressed in a typical attire of a businesswoman.

Felicia said nothing; she simply focused her attention on the window as the car began its journey to her residence.

Felicia's mother was just looking at herself in a makeup mirror, not even paying any attention to Felicia.

"He is poor, but at least he is handsome, he will serve as a toy" Felicia's mother said as if what she had just said was not wrong.

"Don't talk if you don't know anything" Felicia said coldly, seriously she hates her mother; she will never understand what her father saw in a woman like that.

"Don't you dare fall in love with him, it brings me enough shame about your father, I don't need to become the laughingstock of high society now, just because you fell in love with a boy who is not up to the task" Said the mother of Felicia with utter disdain directed towards Felicia, almost as if everything she did is wrong in her eyes.

Due to the rising anger inside her, Felicia squeezed one of her delicate hands, causing it to turn somewhat red, but she decided that she would ignore her mother the rest of the way, and if possible the rest of the way. His life.

"Only 2 more years, and I will be able to get away from her" Felicia thought with longing in her heart, since currently she was not yet recognized as an adult by the law, she could not leave home without the police looking for her and taking her back to your house if they find it.

This is how I end this conversation, totally unknown to Alex.

"I wonder if Felicia's mother is as annoying as she says she is." A doubt appeared in Alex's heart, but he decided that at this moment it was better to push her down.

Alex entered his house and checked the time on a wall clock; it was almost time to go to his work. So he went upstairs to take a shower, put on some casual clothes and left his house, but not before saying goodbye to his parents.

Alex still hadn't made use of his super speed, at this moment he found himself thinking as he walked down the street.

"How can I find a way to build a server?" Alex thought about this question, but this question was always more frequent than he would like. Since this is the most difficult obstacle that he faces today.

He knows that his game will be successful as soon as it goes online but ... he knows that his massive lack of resources will soon be a problem that he will have to deal with.

"I'll keep thinking about it later" Alex said before entering an alley and disappearing at high speeds, while running he put on the glasses that he had bought to cover his identity.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at his work, where he was welcomed as always. He greeted Angelo and his daughter and then got in uniform to wait for his time to make the deliveries.

And so he began to pass the time, delivery after delivery Alex's turn was almost coming to an end.

"Well Alex, this is the last of the night" Angelo said as he gave Alex a total of 4 pizzas, with a note taped on them.

"Got it" Alex said before taking the pizzas and quickly leaving the premises from the back, it was not time to get the motorcycle out of hiding so he could still be calm. But Alex frowned when he saw the direction he had to go… again.

"Baxter Building" Alex thought strangely in his heart, Could it be that they discovered me? ... I don't think so, the chances of that happening are almost nil, that day I hid my face, so they had no way of using the cameras off the streets for facial recognition.

"Sure this is nothing out of the ordinary, after all the food most consumed by the residents of the Baxter building is pizza" Alex convinced himself that he had not been discovered.

Alex just went to the Baxter building, when he arrived he noticed that the streets had already been repaired, leaving them as if nothing had happened. Turning his gaze upward, Alex noticed that the hole through which Dr. Doom had fallen into the street had been almost completely repaired.

With time against him Alex entered the Baxter building, and to his surprise it had a reception, but there was no secretary to receive people.

At this moment Alex noticed that there was no one in the Baxter tower, he began to search with his eyes and what he saw left him surprised to the point of disbelief.

A few meters away from Alex, she found herself wearing an apron that was too small for her in blue, with yellow rubber gloves that looked like that would explode at any moment; this wouldn't be so weird if it weren't for the fact that Thing was also wearing his hero outfit, which only consisted of pants that didn't rip.

Thing was mopping the floor, as if he were the building's janitor.

Alex didn't know what to do in this situation, so he just stood there doing nothing.

It was not long before Thing noticed it, and apparently he put on a somewhat uncomfortable expression, although he could not tell himself since many emotions cannot be noticed on his face.

"You came pretty fast, I guess the delivery in 20 minutes or less, they are not lies" Thing said with his thick voice, giving him a slightly threatening air, but Alex's face remained serious since he was not afraid of thing.

"Here are the pizzas that I order, they are 25 dollars for 2 meat pizzas, and 25 dollars more for the 2 vegetarians" Alex explained calmly, surprising Thing a bit, until now no one spoke to him without being afraid of him besides his friends.

"Aren't you afraid of me boy?" Asked Thing while a grimace appeared on his face, similar to raising an eyebrow.

"I know about the accident, I know that under all that layer of rocks you're still human, I don't see a reason to be afraid of you" Alex said simply, leaving something speechless for a moment.

Until he laughed.

"I like you boy, call me Benjamin or Ben, whichever you prefer" Benjamin said as he gave Alex a friendly slap on the shoulder, this move that would usually cause a person to get a broken shoulder, didn't even move Alex.

Benjamin realized what he did and was suddenly alarmed; but Alex made gestures with his hands indicating that he was fine.

Benjamin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since he hadn't sent someone to the hospital… again.

"I wouldn't expect less from someone who was able to take a hit from Doom like nothing," Benjamin said as he looked at Alex.

When Alex heard these words he could not prevent the muscles of his entire body from tense, preparing to run but Benjamin made signs with his stone hands to keep calm.

"Follow me Alex, there is someone who wants to meet you, there we will explain everything" Benjamin said as he made a sign for Alex to follow him, for a moment Alex struggled with the idea of ​​whether following him was a good idea, but if you already know who he is , there is no point in escaping.

So with a very serious face, Alex followed Benjamin, who was slowly leading him inside the Baxter Building.

End here.
