FFA: Superfriendly10 Season 1

Chapter 7:-

Back in the quiet sanctuary of his hidden lair, James prepared to harness his powers to unearth the truth about Alvin. The recent clues—the strange healing, the traces of magic in Alvin—had all led him to suspect there was more to Linda’s story than she’d let on. Tonight, he would finally uncover what lay beneath her web of lies.

Step 1: Tracing Alvin’s Origins

He placed his hand over an enchanted crystal orb, focusing his energy on Alvin. The orb began to glow, swirling with wisps of color. Slowly, images began to take form: a small, dimly lit room with rows of cribs—a glimpse of an orphanage. James concentrated harder, seeing a young child, unmistakably Alvin, nestled among the others. But there was something more. He caught a fleeting glimpse of another child, identical to Alvin, lying just a crib away.

James’s eyes widened. A twin, he thought. Alvin has a brother.

The realization struck him with the weight of truth. Alvin wasn’t just an adopted child—he was one of a pair, separated from his twin at the orphanage.

Step 2: Delving into Linda’s Secrets

With this new knowledge, James shifted his focus to Linda, probing deeper into her actions. Using his “mind’s eye,” he traced patterns of her behavior. Flickering images appeared in his mind: Linda slipping into the shadows with an envelope, a clandestine exchange of money, and meetings with a stranger—someone who had the same dark, secretive aura.

As he watched her actions unfold in fragmented glimpses, one image became crystal clear: Linda holding a crying infant and handing him over to a man James didn’t recognize. That must have been the child she’d hidden away—the real son she’d never told him about, the brother Alvin never knew he had.

Step 3: Confirming the Powers in Alvin

Feeling a surge of anger and sadness, James continued. The last question still lingered—how had Alvin developed such extraordinary powers? He focused his energy again, this time honing in on Alvin’s magical essence. The orb filled with a strange, warm light, resonating with a powerful energy that was distinctly otherworldly.

As he traced the energy within Alvin, it became clear: his son’s powers were not passed down from him. In fact, they were entirely foreign—rooted in a different, potent line of immortals. The truth was undeniable: Alvin’s powers were inherited, but not from James.

Reflecting on His Findings

With a heavy heart, James withdrew from his trance, absorbing the truth he’d uncovered. Alvin was not his biological son. Not only had Linda deceived him, but she had also split Alvin from his twin brother, leaving secrets buried in that orphanage.

Though his anger was fierce, he knew Alvin was still just a child—an innocent caught up in Linda’s web. James vowed to protect Alvin and uncover the full truth about his origins, but he also knew he had to be patient. His discoveries were powerful, and he would reveal them only when the time was right.
