Chapter 1

“Galen, we can’t keep meeting like this.” The old man furrowed his eyebrows and rubbed the top of his wrinkly head back and forth. If he had any hair, he would have pulled it out by now.

“A factory completely destroyed, a residential building burnt to a crisp. Several ongoing lawsuits, victims claiming injuries of broken arms, noses, and who knows what!” the man shouted as he moved countless screens that were floating off in the air to the side.

All of them were holographic reports, and he had only gone through the first few.

They were the number of reports that Captain Ace had, all linked to the one individual in front of him.

“We even have a report of you calling a five-year-old boy, 'Dalki shit,'” Captain Ace sighed.

Immediately Galen sat upright in his seat and pointed at Ace.

“In my defense, that kid was a little shit.” Right after saying his defense, Galen went back to twirling his curly hair with his finger.

It was quite clear it wasn’t the first meeting between Galen and the captain. Both of them were wearing the same uniform: mostly black, quite fitting with a buttoned-up jacket, and a red trim on the outside.

The only difference between the two uniforms was that the captain had large shoulder pads and red stripes going down the side.

“Galen, look, you're a great asset, and you're a powerful fighter. There are plenty of times that you’ve saved the squad from danger.” Ace sighed, worried that his words weren’t even going to get through as this was already the fifth time since they had started working together.

“You have to understand your duty. We serve and protect. We are the special police force that deals with the rampant ability users.”

“We keep the peace, and we are role models to the countless people out there. Which means not every situation we get involved in needs to lead to violence.”

The captain took another pause there, and he stopped the next words from coming out of his mouth for a moment before going with it anyway.

“Think about what your father would say…”

Immediately Galen stopped twirling his hair, and he sat upright in his seat, his head sunk slightly into his chest.

“I know… I know… I’m not like my father, and times are different now, things are much more peaceful. There’s no need for me to use such force.”

After saying those words, Galen stood up and was ready to leave the office, but he turned around to look at the captain.

“With these people, sometimes they won’t stop, they only know violence as an appropriate answer, otherwise they won't stop. And if you look at the reports carefully, you’ll see that there wasn’t a single individual who was harmed, at least, excluding the ones that didn’t deserve it.”

With Galen saying his words, the door opened, and he continued walking, leaving the captain to sigh.

Ace lifted his head and looked at the report in front of him.

“Galen Talen, part of the family of Quinn Talen that saved mankind all that time ago. When I heard he was joining the order, I thought things would get easier around here, not harder.”

Ace started to look through the files, and as he did, he noticed that there were small comments, notes written by the general public.

‘Despite all the chaos, we somehow managed to get out unharmed.’

‘I saw him take a fireball for me.’

‘I think he’s a true hero.’

These were the comments that had been written by the general public, and they didn’t even know who Galen Talen was.

Galen used an alias in the force as Galen Balen.

Once Galen was outside, he tapped his wristwatch, and his clothes had a warping line appear through them. It had changed him out of his uniform, and in an instant he was wearing a casual black jacket with a white shirt, and a pair of black jeans along with boots.

Galen walked down the streets looking at the neon lights that shined on the ground, along with the floating vehicles above his head.

He continued forward, his mood sulky. Eventually, he looked up and stopped outside a large grand building. Floating holograms appeared all over the outside of the building.

It was the name of all of the restaurants and bars that were inside.

Eventually, heading inside, Galen was met in a lift.

“Sparky’s Restaurant,” Galen said.

It appeared as if Galen’s body was zapped, and before he knew it he had appeared right where he wanted to.

In front of him there were many diners already enjoying their food and grub. Small robots were delivering their food, while there were also waiters and such adding a personal touch.

Straight ahead, a glass window could be seen that went all around the restaurant, giving one the view of the entire city.

Eventually, Galen walked ahead until he had reached a table that was on the very edge, where a dark-skinned woman was seated.

“Galen!” the woman said, standing up in her red dress, and immediately went to give Galen a big hug. “It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.”

“Same to you, Minny,” Galen said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek and then pulled his chair out and sat down.

“You know, I always say the two of us should meet more often, it’s a shame that we only seem to meet on this day, huh?” Minny claimed.

Immediately Galen was playing with his fingertips and looked at the ground.

“What’s wrong?” Minny said. “Come on, you're thirty years old now, and you're still sulking like a little kid, did something happen at work?”

“Yeah,” Galen replied. “But it’s the usual stuff, it’s just the captain, he brought up Dad, and he brought him up today of all days.”

Now Minny understood, it wasn’t an easy day for her as well, and Galen had spotted a few things already, that there were two bottles of wine on the table, and the smell on her breath.

“How long has it been?” Minny said as she swirled the wine in front of her.

“Six years,” Galen answered immediately. “It’s been six years since Dad went into eternal slumber.”

“Right… six years, things certainly have calmed down a lot,” Minny replied. “Anyway, why don’t you tell me what happened, maybe it will be good to get it off your chest.”

Galen went on to tell Minny the events and the captain’s complaints. About how during their cases they had claimed he had gone a little off the rails.

At least according to them, but in Galen’s eyes some of these people were hardened criminals.

“Hey, you haven’t been using them powers have you?” Minny asked immediately.

Galen shook his head.

“I haven’t needed to, my own strength, and the shadow powers are enough. Thanks to Dad, you should know the world isn’t what it was like before, maybe the captain is right and my type of justice or violence isn’t needed.”

Eventually the two continued to eat and drink as they did every day on this day, the anniversary of Quinn Talen’s eternal slumber.

They all remembered the details so well, and it was only a year after that, they had put to rest their mother Layla. When Minny thought about it, Galen’s problems started to occur more so after their mother had passed away.

As it went later into the night, Minny eventually saw Galen wipe at his face. It pained her to see him like this.

“I miss him,” Galen said. “I want to ask him for help, I want to ask him what to do. I want him to say that he’s proud of me for what I’ve done, and show him my girlfriends, my exes, and tell him about my annoying bosses!”

“You can tell me!” Minny said, trying to cheer her brother up.

Still, it didn’t seem to work.

“You know I have these shadow powers, and the shadow link skill. It allows me to jump to anyone else in the entire universe who has the same shadow powers.”

“But I can’t use them, Minny, there is no shadow link. There is no one in the universe that has these powers… I check every day, I check every damned day, hoping that one day when I go to use the shadow link, I’ll be able to use it. Do you know why?”

Minny nodded slowly.

“Because it means that Dad is awake again.”

The two continued to sit in silence again, until Minny eventually spoke.

“You know though, Dad being asleep is a good thing. Look at everyone around us, everyone enjoying their lives, maybe you don’t remember much because you were a kid back then… but even though Dad was here, things weren’t good, they were only good because of Dad.”

“If Dad is needed to wake up, it means that the world isn’t in a good state any longer. I miss Dad too, I wish he would wake up as well… but it’s good because Dad can rest. It’s good that right now, the world doesn’t need Quinn Talen.”

----

Out in a dark space where light and color seemingly didn’t exist, there were two individuals standing next to each other.

“It’s time,” a soft voice spoke.

“Right.” The man swung his hand, and an interface appeared.

At the same time, the person stood opposite; the end of her staff started to glow brightly, and then several glyphs on the floor started to light up, illuminating the whole area.

“Send out the following message to all system users!”
