12 Chapter 12

It was too late. The ability to stop time had reached its limit, and the sounds of the crowd surrounding him reached Krystian's ears. Then, less than a few seconds later, the alarm came to the fore, and red lights in pinpoint corners of the room began to flicker at an irritatingly rapid rate. Everything around seemed to gain intensity, as if reality itself was resisting the broken rules. Krystian felt the adrenaline pulse take over his body, now he had to act quickly, come up with strategies before things turned out to be too difficult for him.

Much to Krystian's dissatisfaction, his exit routes were cut off. The passages between individual rooms, and probably even all emergency exits, main exits and windows, were closed with solid bars. Krystian had to admit that the security system was really impressive. However, it was not the system that was the problem, but the many eyes directed his way.

He felt the weight of attention on him, as if each glance was another shot of fire in his direction. Knowing that he was trapped in this situation, to his surprise, instead of fear or uncertainty, he began to feel amusement. He didn't quite understand why, but he knew that now more than ever, he had to keep his cool and find a way to overcome this strange situation.

The room he was currently in wasn't very big. Its size could be compared to a basketball court. However, what made this room stand out from the others were the multitude of exhibits presenting a variety of crystals, rocks and other unusual finds. Among them, the largest stood out - a fragment of the oldest mountain in the world, on which an unknown figure had carved an inscription. Krystian was convinced that this inscription must have contained something magical, something special, because it had a slightly strange and terrifying handwriting. Although this mysterious inscription seemed interesting, it was not his main concern at the moment.

Surrounded by these fascinating exhibits, Krystian felt a mixture of wonder and curiosity, mixed with an urgent sense of urgency. Although the mystery hidden in the ancient inscription tempted him to investigate further, his attention was focused on overcoming the maze of security and finding a way to escape. In the face of this intriguing environment, his desire for freedom overshadowed even the most enigmatic secrets of his past.

And between the mentioned exhibits, next to Hex, who stood proudly next to the destroyed glass dome of one of the exhibits, there were quite a few people. At the other end of the room, Krystian noticed a school trip. Judging by the children lined up in neat rows, led by two adults, and by the many smaller characters who have so far visited the exhibitions in groups of three, two or alone. However, when the alarm was activated, everyone, after a quick look around in panic, easily spotted the source of all the commotion: Hex.

Now that his presence had become the focal point of attention, people began to gather as far away from him as possible, but still maintaining a perfect view of the unfolding situation, the visitors were surprised, terrified or filled with curiosity. The children seemed astonished, and the adults immediately spoke up in an attempt to calm the situation. Krystian, not understanding much, had to admit that he even liked being this kind of "object of attention", but instead of enjoying people's fear, quite innocent if you can call it that, a female voice reminded him of the biggest problem that currently concerns him.

(Star Fire)- How dare you rob this extremely valuable "Earthly" shiny rock?

Hex was amused by the content of his familiar superheroine's statement. And he regretted that his back was turned when time resumed and he couldn't see her reaction.

After a short amused laugh coming from Hex. Krystian casually took his backpack off his back and, as usual, quickly put the crystal into the backpack. Then with a smile, he turned towards the source of the voice.

Star Fire, with deep interest, explored the museum exhibit with Beastboy, enjoying the company and the fascinating exhibits. It was supposed to be a simple tour and she was fascinated as she explored each exhibit in the museum, her gaze flickering between crystals and ancient artifacts, when suddenly, as she was examining the green crystals, a sudden sudden the sound of an alarm broke the silence. Startled, she turned towards the source of the noise, only to see the figure she had learned about not too long ago.

Star Fire, feeling the sudden change in the atmosphere, took a ready stance, her bright eyes glowing with an intense green light in contact with the unknown. Her gaze, which had been focused on the ancient artifacts a moment ago, now rested on the mysterious figure that appeared in the middle of the chaos.

With the memory of her friendship with Beastboy standing next to her, Star Fire sensed danger in the air. Her heart was beating faster as she prepared for what was to come. In her eyes you could see not only astonishment, but also determination, readiness to defend and act in the face of danger.

Star Fire, despite being at the museum on more civilian matters, as a superhero, perfectly understood that even during such moments she had to be ready for action, so to the delight of the male citizens of Jump City, she and her companions were almost constantly dressed in their superhero costumes.

Her costume consists of a characteristic light purple top that shows off her figure, and a purple headband that resembles a short skirt. It's way too short considering she has the power to fly. Anyone with good eyesight can see her panties as she passes over him. Krystian likes it, especially when the said outfit is worn by an alien with an incredibly flexible and tempting body. In addition to these tempting elements clinging to her cosmically sexy body, she is also dressed in some rather "heavy" looking accessories. Such as armlets made of an unknown metal with a green crystal on the outside of the hand. A rather peculiar steel protector around her neck and shoulders, also having a green gem between just above her breasts, and really long boots that cover most of her legs, leaving only a portion of her thigh exposed just between her "tight skirt" and said boots.

Starfire, noticing the threat, almost immediately turned her hand towards Hex, and after uttering the warning, ready for anything, she watched as the new villain, after shamelessly hiding the loot in his backpack, slowly turned towards her.

Her companion, BeastBoy, dressed in his peculiar black and purple costume, understands the situation just like she does. He changed his form and turned into a green tiger and, like her, waited for the situation to develop.

Hex slowly turned towards the two heroes and watched Star Fire with amusement, taking a moment to enjoy her truly sexy costume. Then he smiled under his mask and said, amused.

(Hex)-I'm not stealing...I've just been authorized to move the Crystal to a more appropriate location.

(Star Fire)-Really?

The confusion appearing on StarFire's face was really cute, it was a really nice sight for Hex's eyes. Although her naivety in such a situation was truly incomprehensible.

(BeastBoy)-Very funny, Bro. But we won't let you steal this crystal.

Star Fire seemed to come to her senses, and her vision now emanated a slightly greater green glow. Apparently, Hex's words offended her to a greater or lesser degree.

Hex considered using the simplest option, i.e. stopping time, rewinding the time of moving between rooms to the point where the security was inactive. And just leave the museum, ignoring everything around you.

However, the amusement comes from StarFire's rather adorable reactions, and the fact that this is his first encounter with the heroes. This made him decide to adopt a more complex plan.

What's more, as he looked into Star's eyes, a completely new idea came to his mind. Since he's attacking the Museum anyway, why limit yourself to one crystal. He still has a lot of room in his backpack, and soon he will receive contact information about a Finger who will help him dispose of the loot. So killing two birds with one stone is quite a good idea.

(Hex)-And do you really think you can stop me? Don't joke, Shrek, you better go back to your swamp.

(??)-Hahhaaa...

Hex's answer amused the group of children standing at a safe distance, and even the two guardians had small smiles on their faces. However, as adults and responsible for the life of the mentioned group. They tried hard to control the laughing children, not wanting to provoke Hex.

(Star Fire)-Shrek. You're wrong. His name is Beast Boy.

(Hex)-Haha..really?...Wait...green...green. That's right. He is dressed like a homeless person. That's right too. But where is your companion Donkey. Shrek??

(??)-Hahhaaa...

Hex improvised rather than intentionally made up insults towards BeastBoy. But since there are children here, he decided not to use more vulgar lyrics. Because if the school trip wasn't mentioned here, Hex would be more focused on Star and complimenting her key parts. However, having more fun with the lip-biting green gremlin. He decided to make a little show until BeastBoy's nerves couldn't take it anymore and he thoughtlessly attacked him.

(Star Fire)-You will pay for your unpleasant words towards my friend.

(Hex)-Shrek...You can't really say anything about your nice friend having to defend you. Have you already thought back to your swamp?

When StarFire was about to speak again, BeastBoy grabbed her arm too tightly. He was in tiger form and of course he did it unintentionally, but Hex saw exactly how he did it. And the evil hero said shortly before charging at Hex in his current form.

(BeastBoy)-You exaggerated... And my name is... Beastboy...

As if driven solely by instinct, Bestboy, using the tiger's speed, decided to reduce the distance between him and Hex.

It took him less than 3 seconds to get almost a meter in front of Hex and make a jump to knock down the villain.

And Hex even before Shrek finished his inept verbal defense. He activated time slowdown, which made BeastBoy's statement in slow motion even funnier.

Krystian remembered perfectly well the fact that he wanted people to see him as a Speedster. And the fact that Star's breasts moved in a rather pleasant way when she left the ground to wait for an opportunity to attack after she thought Beast Boy had knocked him down.

Hex did not change his position until Beast boy shortened the distance between them, and when the green hero jumped out in the form of a tiger straight onto his chest. Krystian stopped time and was in a slightly more amused mood. He walked up to the side of a levitating green tiger frozen in time and space.

Initially, Krystian planned to simply kick Beastboy in the side, waiting for the right moment. However, having so much time to think, and remembering that tigers are truly massive creatures. And his physical limitations are quite limited. That's why before he made the punch that the cameras caught on he was aware of it. He decided to stop time just before his foot kicked the green tiger's body.

And it was just as he had thought before. The tiger's body is really massive and it cannot do much harm to it without having super strength. So after a short moment of reflection, still keeping in mind the time he had left. Krystian ran to the bars that separated the crystal exhibition from the section devoted to armor and medieval weapons. And after rewinding the time of the security bars to the point where they no longer blocked his passage. Krystian ran to the exhibition with war hammers and chose the one he could lift.

Hex returned to the green Tiger and used all his strength to slam his warhammer into the green hero's side. Then he threw it away in an inconspicuous place, because he didn't have much time and didn't want to waste it on putting the item back in its place.

Hex returned to the green Tiger and used all his strength to slam his warhammer into the green hero's side. Then he returned the hammer to its place, and after a little fiddling with it, it was impossible to detect that the hammer had disappeared from the exhibitions.

He then returned in front of the levitating Green Tiger and after returning to slow time, he struck a pose as if he had actually kicked BeastBoy. And even though a normal person wouldn't be able to notice anything except the sudden change in the green hero's flight path and Hex in a completely different position. Yes, the cameras and probably many people examining the footage will think that Hex did the kick while moving really fast.

Hex seeing that StarFire after seeing a green tiger flying in an unexpected direction. Due to her surprise and momentary confusion, she has not yet made a counterattack. So, taking advantage of the moment, with a slightly amused and ambiguous smile under Hex's mask, he said.

(Hex)-Shrek is not a Donkey. He won't defeat the Dragon.

(StarFire)- I'll stop you!

Star Fire's tactics were quite simple, she used her superhuman flight speed and wanted to shoot straight at Hex's body. Krystian wasn't sure of the trajectory, but he guessed that it would have easily hit him down the jaw. If it weren't for the fact that he was constantly slowing down time. And he was sure that if he didn't have said power active, at that speed Star wouldn't give him a chance to activate it.

But now everything was under Hex's control. So I'm incredibly happy about this whole situation. Krystian took advantage of the appropriate slowdown in time to do something that gave him great satisfaction. Well, when he passed StarFire, when he was right next to her ass and thighs, he slapped the star directly on the star's bottom-exposed buttocks, giving two strikes right after the slap. Then he approached the lowered bars separating the crystal exhibition from the medieval weapons exhibition again. And by rewinding the time of the above-mentioned bars and then speeding up time, he literally opened the passage, went to the other room and closed the passage.

Then he reduced the slowdown of time to have room to potentially increase it if necessary, but to have a slightly faster image of the surprised heroine. Which, after Hex disappeared, turned around and then grabbed the ass where she had been spanked moments earlier.

After realizing what had happened, although Hex wasn't sure whether she thought she had been hit or something more ambiguous. However, the fact is that she turned towards Hex, who was smiling at her from the other side of the bars.

(Hex)-It was really fun, but I still have a few things to do. So until the next meeting... and you have a truly amazing ass, Star...Well, bye.

Then, without even giving her time to respond, Krystian stopped time and simply had more time and more control over the power. He went to a jewelery exhibition and stuffed as much as he could into his backpack, destroying a security system worth millions in the process. And before leaving the museum, he stole one painting from one of the exhibitions.

Despite this, before he left the museum, just before the main entrance, he saw a hero frozen in time. Specifically, red-haired Kid Flash dressed in yellow spandex. So, with a souvenir shop nearby, Krystian grabbed one of the available black markers. And he wrote 3 letters on Kid Flash's back before he left Muzem.

He wrote on the back of the unsuspecting hero, who will most likely stop only when he reaches the crystal exhibition, a simple word.

HEX.
