Chapter 42: Inside The SMD Building
Keith gave Jason an intense look that would have been enough to make anyone nervous, but Jason only stared back at him for a few seconds before he finally gave the man a nod and introduced himself.
"I'm Jason. Nice to meet you. Could you point me in the direction of the SMD Appraisal Department? I want to sell the Magic Crystals I got from the gate."
Jason wasn't even put off by the fact that the Enforcer was already waiting there for him, and he wasn't interested in knowing what the man wanted. As far as Jason was concerned, he was only here to sell what he got from the Gate. Once he was done with that, he would leave for New York.
Keith gave Jason a serious look before he spoke.
"I heard from my superior that you had an incident yesterday where you used your powers outside a Gate. I understand that you are a new Superhuman, and that is enough reason for us to overlook this incident as a one-time thing. But I hope to get your assurance that something like this will never happen again."
Keith's eyes narrowed threateningly and Jason just glanced at him before turning away. Jason knew that there were laws against Superhumans using their abilities outside a Gate. That was the only thing keeping most buildings standing today. If all Superhumans were allowed to use their abilities however they wanted, the world could be destroyed in no time!
But Jason wasn't going to promise something so arbitrary! Jason only used his ability because his mother needed him. If there was ever a time when he needed to use his ability for the people he loved, then he would use it without caring about the consequences.
"I'll try not to use more force than I need to outside a Gate."
This was Jason's simple answer, and it only made Keith narrow his eyes further! Keith knew that Jason was giving him such an open answer on purpose! This meant that Jason would still be willing to use his abilities outside a Gate if the situation called for it.
