Charlus sighed. He did not want to be the powerless person but Hebe was stronger than Charlus. Charlus wasn't against knowing powerful people, but he felt he would be safer if he was more powerful.

Charlus got to thinking. Getting near his source of power. That was death. But where would he find death?

Suddenly Charlus realised something. The hospital. Hebe said she could see the birth of children. But a hospital was also a place of death. Life and Death are truly hand in hand.

Charlus decided to first cook up a meal. He made some spaghetti for Hebe. He then thanked her for the advice and went outside the house.

Charlus suddenly realised that he no longer had a car. Thanks to the incident where he crashed the car, Charlus was left without one. He decided to go back to the same place where he bought the other car.

Charlus checked his inventory. He only had around $40000 left. Charlus didn't want to spend too much money on this car.

Charlus went to the place and saw a familiar person. It was the same person from who Charlus had bought the dodge charger. Charlus went up to him.

"Hey! Nice to meet you! Was there anything wrong with the car you bought?" The Latino walked to Charlus.

Charlus recalled the state of the car when the truck crashed into it. He smiled awkwardly at the man.

"Yeah, about that... I'm going to need a new car."

The Mexican man was confused.

"Why? Was that car not enough? Or did it get damaged?" 

Charlus chuckled. "Okay... something kind of happened to the car and I can't use it anymore. Nothing wrong with the car though."

"Okay..." The man said awkwardly. "Then why did you come here?"

"I want another car now. Same kind of car." Charlus said.

The man thought for a while. He looked around and spotted something.

"That Camaro has been here for a month. But the price is around $25000. And I can't give you the keys just like I did last time though."

Charlus sighed.

"Fine then. I can buy it using a proper card this time."

Charlus took out a card from his pocket. It was a credit card.

The man smiled and then chuckled.

"You... you can't buy a car with a credit card. The limit is $20000 for most cards. And they don't let you buy huge items like this without some kind of... identification."

Charlus laughed. "I'm pretty sure you won't have a problem with this though. Why don't you just swipe it?"

The man took the card and went to the small structure near the cars. Charlus followed him. The man entered the structure and went behind the counter there. He took out a machine and put in $25670 into the card machine.

The man swiped the card and the machine processed the payment. The payment was accepted. The man handed the card back.

"You have really generous payments man. I suggest you to get an excuse to tell your parents. And don't involve me." The man chuckled with that remark and gave the card back. He also took out some papers.

"These are the registration documents. Do you have insurance?"

Charlus shrugged.

"You should get it soon. And I am hoping that you have a driver's license."

Charlus chuckled. "Yeah, I got it around a year ago."

Charlus took out a card and showed it to the man. The man looked at it and gave the keys to the car. Charlus took them and went to the Camaro.

He entered the car and put his hands on the steering wheel. He put the keys in and started the car. He drove it out from its place and started towards the hospital.

Charlus parked in the hospital parking and entered the hospital. He entered the reception area and saw many people waiting for their turn. Charlus walked up to the counter.

"I'd like a check-up, please," Charlus told the receptionist.

"Yes, one moment. Name please."

"Charlus Black."

"Yes sir. Could you please wait your turn? The waiting time is around 1 hour. Also, please fill out this form in the meantime."

"Sure." Charlus took the form and went to sit down. Charlus sat beside a kid in the wheelchair. He filled his form up quietly. Once he was done, he looked around. He saw that the room was quite lethargic. Charlus looked at the kid beside him. 

"How's your day?" Charlus asked him.

"It's pretty average. What about your's?"

Charlus smiled. "Well, it was pretty exhilarating. I made a new friend today. And she told me to come here."

"Good for you. I can't make new friends at all. My parents don't let me go outside to play." The kid complained.

"I'm sorry about that..."

"Abby. Short for Abigail but you can call me Abby."

"Well, nice to meet you, Abby. My name is Charlus." Charlus engaged with the girl.

"Nice to meet you too, Charlus."

The girl replied sweetly.

"So why are you here?" Charlus asked the girl.

"My dad brought me here. He says I have this disease called lukema."

Charlus' expression changed slightly.

"Don't worry too much. You can definitely defeat this disease, but only if you are strong inside. You can defeat this disease, you have the power, but you have to know that you have that power."

Charlus was motivating Abby but Abby didn't get very excited. 

"But I don't have any powers."

Charlus laughed. "You do too. Let me show you."

Charlus took Abby's hand and pointed it towards a balloon. 

It was a hospital so there were plenty of them. Charlus whispered to Abby.

"Now focus in your mind. You can burst that balloon with your power."

The girl closed her eyes. She tried to concentrate. She was hoping that something would happen but nothing did. She couldn't hear anything.

In the meantime, Charlus grabbed the newspaper to his side. He tore a small piece of paper from it and crumpled it. He was doing it with one hand while holding Abby's hand with the other.

Abby opened her eyes. "You lied to me."

Charlus flung the paper at the balloon and the balloon popped. Charlus looked at Abby and smiled. Abby had a shocked expression.

"I did it! I did it! I popped the balloon!" She had an incredible expression filled with joy in her eyes. At this time, a man came from the inside of the hospital and looked at Charlus talking to Abby.

"Excuse me? Do you need anything from my daughter?" Charlus looked up at the man.

"Lovely daughter you have sir. I had so much fun talking to her." Charlus raised his hand to shake the man's hand.

"This is Charlus daddy! He told me that I can fight any diseases with the power I have. I can burst balloons without touching them!"

The man was now confused. Was Charlus a friendly teen? Or was he a child predator?

Charlus had already stood up and came closer to the man. He grabbed the man's hand and shook it.

"I should give this form. I'm also planning on looking around the hospital. Maybe I can see you later. I wish Abby the best of luck with her disease."

Charlus gave his form to the receptionist and went past the waiting room to the main hall of the hospital.

"Sir, you still have around 40 minutes left to wait. Would you like to sit down?"

"Oh don't worry. I'll just wander around the hospital. I want to look around." Charlus told the receptionist. He walked into the hospital hall.

Charlus entered the main hospital hall and immediately felt the bustling of the hospital. Charlus could hear the hospital announcements call for doctors. Doctors and nurses were scrambling to get to their positions. And groups of interns were behind some of the doctors.

Charlus suddenly heard a siren. He saw the main door of the hospital open. A bunch of patients were being rolled into the hospital. Charlus watched a bunch of doctors suddenly appear and try to treat those patients. Charlus watched as a bunch of people suddenly come inside and get stopped by hospital guards.

"My son! Is he going to be okay?!" A woman shrieked. Charlus saw many others asking the hospital staff if their family or friends were going to be okay.

"Is there anything happening right now? Why did these many people suddenly get injured?" Charlus asked one of the nearby hospital staff.

"I don't know sir. A bus seems to have crashed. It overturned. Around 10 casualties. 2 people were killed instantly."

The staff turned away and Charlus followed the stretchers. He wanted to see the people being treated.

Charlus came here to see the dead, but did he want to see someone die? Wouldn't that mean that he wanted to see someone die?

Charlus was suddenly unsure. He felt like he would be a demon if he wanted them to die for his growth as a person, but he still wanted to grow stronger. He didn't know what to do. He had to decide between going to see them get treated, going to the mortuary of the hospital and leaving the hospital all together.
