*Talking with Derick*

"All of you should leave your names and accounts and your money will be sent to you in three months" Predator said .We all did and then started to leave

"Hey Steel guy wait up" Predator called out to me just as I was about to leave. Everyone left leaving me and predator. "What floor do you live in?" he asked "The twenty nineth floor" I answered "So you said you're new to the grim tower" he asked me "Actually I'm new to the whole been a villain thing as a whole" I replied

"Doesn't seem that way to me, you ain't half bad" he said "You're a natural kid, keep up the good work" he added "Okay" I replied "I'll call you in if I need any more help" he said "Ok sure" After our conversation I left and went back to my apartment.

Today was weirdly excited and amazing 'Was I really cut out to be a villain' I thought to myself.

At the end of every day I always got a report on my day's upgrades from the exercises I did to build my physical and mental strength so that I could become strong enough to unlock the system's full potential.

It was around nine o'clock and I sat on my work desk, communicating with my system

"Get me all the information on Dr Vexler" is said to my system

<Searching database...>

<Searching database...>

<Error >

<Error >

<System's full potential still locked>

<Data on this individual is encrypted and locked>

<System cannot access this data>

<Need supercomputer to access locked data>

"Ughhh, why isn't this working" I spat out angry at the system "This stupid system doesn't think I can handle it's dumb potential power"

'I need to know how I can get a super computer' I thought to myself and decided to get up and get some fresh air

"Hey Steel what's up" Derick said as I was coming out of my apartment. "Hey, I've been kicking it here, what about you" I replied and asked. "I'm doing fine"

"Hey Derick, can we chat for a moment?" I asked "Sure thing, Steel. What's on your mind?" Derick replied, giving me his full attention.

"Do you know where I can get a super computer?" I asked "Uhh... Super computers are kinda hard to get, they are very advanced, there's only about fifty of them in the world" he replied "Yeah, I know but I need one now" I said

"What do you need it for anyways?" He asked me "Uhm, before I came here, I was experimented on by a scientist named Dr. Vexler. He turned me into this cyborg."

Derick's eyes widened in surprise "Well That's pretty cool" he said "Not as cool as you would, it was done without my permission, right after the research was stolen from my mom and I had no memory of it until about a while ago" I answered "That's messed up, Xander. No wonder you're here now." He answered

"But I'm not content to let him get away with it. I want revenge and that's why I need the super computer to access his whereabouts"

A slow grin spread across Derick's face, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Now that's what I'm talking about, Steel. Revenge is a dish best served cold, after all."

"I have the perfect plan to take him down, but I can't do it without the computer" I declared, feeling a surge of adrenaline at the thought of finally getting payback.

Derick nodded enthusiastically, his support unwavering. "Count me in, Steel. I think I know someone who can help you out" He said and I felt a rush of gratitude towards Derick for his unwavering support, knowing we've only know each other for a short while "Thanks, Derick. I'm glad I could count on you."

"Anytime, buddy," Derick replied, clapping me on the back with a grin. "Meet me back here in an hour, I'm gonna take care of something really quick" he said and we parted ways and I went back to my room.
