4.

I tried to kill the time. I showered, cleaned up, ate and all that stuff and I did it as slow as I could so I would take a lot of time. But time wasn't on my side and crawled by.

I suddenly realized I should call my work and explain why I wasn't there. I'm probably fired but I should at least give some kind of explanation even though I'm not sure what to say. I can't really say that I passed out because I was searching for a superhero. That.. sounds ridiculously crazy. If I tell them that they'll lock me away in some home for crazy people. Anyway I found some courage and took the phone.

'Island Records, how may I help you?' the receptionist asked

'Can I talk to Brian Donalds please?

'One moment please' She said and put me on some kind of waiting line with some really stupid music.

'Brian Donalds' Brian said when he picked up the phone.

'Brian, it's Tom Fletcher..'

'Aah Tom, are you feeling better?' he interrupted me. Better? What does he know that I don't? I didn't understand but decided to act like I do. Maybe this means that I still have my job.

'Yeah thanks for asking' I replied

'Are you coming back tomorrow?' Brian asked.

'Sure, no problem'

'Good and you better be your old self Tommi boy!'

'Oh I'm totally back Brian, don't worry' I said as excited as I could. 'Can I ask who told you I was sick?'

'You don't know? It was some guy named Danny. He called us the other day to let us know you had the flu'

'Thanks. See you tomorrow!' I said

'Bye' Brian said and hung up.

So it was Danny who called them. Should have guessed that but awww that's so sweet and considerate of him to do that! Because of him I still have my job!

I sat down on my bed and turned on the tv and killed another 3 hours. I looked outside and saw that it began to grown dark outside. A smile appeared on my face, it won't be long anymore until he's here again.

I laid myself down towards the window and watched the sky getting darker and darker. I searched with my eyes for a flying figure. I was just about to sigh when I saw him. He landed on my terrace again and opened the sliding door.

I immediately jumped up, smiling wide and hugged him. I felt that he was surprised by my action but he wrapped his arms around. I smiled to his chest and got blushing cheeks again.

After a minute I finally let go of him and sat on my bed. He sat down beside me.

'Guess you have a few questions, don't you?' he said and smiled

'Yeah, you don't mind?' I asked. I was filled with questions and I couldn't wait to ask them.

'Shoot' he said giving me a wink.

'Alright. Are you a human? I mean are you born as a regular human and then turned into a superhero or were you born on another planet?'

He laughed while I was trying to get my question right. 'No, I'm not a human. I come from a planet called Xion.'

'Why did you come to earth?'

'Well on my planet we all have different powers. Our planet was ruled by Zen but he died and then everything changed. The new ruler, Dax, has turned our planet into a Warfield. Many of my people have died and the only way to stay alive was to run. Some mates of mine each have gone to a planet and protect it without the residents knowing we are there.'

'Wow! Hey how come they all have weird names but you don't?' I asked suddenly realizing the names Zen and Dax.

'Danny Jones is my real name but translated from my language. My name on Xion is Zuky'

'Do they know you are here? The bad people?' I asked and he laughed when I said bad people.

'No they don't and I hope they'll never find out because if they do they'll come to get me'

I swallowed and blinked before widening my eyes.

'Don't worry, I'm strong' he said giving me a wink

'Do you have other powers apart from flying?' I asked and ended up with an open mouth. I hadn't expected that.

'Yeah I do. I can also heal and create force fields and I'm pretty strong compared to others.'

'That's so cool!' I said excited and he smiled when he saw my face.

'You humans are really interesting'

'Nah, we're boring. It's always the same lame shit around here'

'Better that then being threatened with extinction because some crazy dude wants to rule your world'

'Sorry' I said

'It's ok. it's just.. I'm really worried you know.. and I'm afraid for when they find me'

'But it's like you said right? You're strong. You can fight them' I asked worried. I don't want them to take him away from me. I just found him.

'It's just.. I know they are looking for me and I don't think it will be long until they find me'

'Are they really searching for everyone of your kind in the universe?'

'No just me and a few others.'

'Why?' I asked frowning.

'Dax wants me because of my healing powers. I'm the only one that has this power.'

'You're the only one?'

'Yeah, healing powers are very rare. There hasn't been a healer in over 600 years'

I saw the worry and sadness on his face. Seeing him like this made me feel worried and scared. I don't want anything to happen to him. But the worst part is that if he's in danger, I won't be able to help him.

A tear fell down his cheeks and I took him in my arms.

'It will be alright' I said comforting. 'Don't worry'
