“Matter and Antimatter quite a recent speculation about the latter one lately,

What if they are more than physical states” Postulated the aging Physics lecturer to rather sulking class.

“ Could they signify Good and evil? The classic Big Bang theory predicts equal amount of matter and antimatter to be produced, What happened to the rest of the antimatter any guesses?”He asked

Being a typical backbencher Jake had his head down on his table as much as he wanted to focus on the lecture he felt drained out from the fierce hacking the previous night, While the remaining class was restlessly checking the watches for recess Jake saw as two hands shoot up at almost the same time.

“ Well Hari and Patrich that was quite close time, well Hari give it a shot”

“The answer is that there is no answer, quite a tricky question as Accepting any one of them would contradict to several experiments but I choose to think that they weren’t equal, Last thing we need is an Antimatter Galaxy on collision course with ours... ”He chuckled.

Even though only a handful including Jake barely understood the joke,

The lecturer in a not-so-surprised tone said “Well close enough, That’s it for today get your assignments done for the next class”

Jake heard his whole class let out a phew in chorus as they were leaving he would have joint it if he wasn’t so tired.

He felt a pair of warm palms cover his eyes, “Guess who” a cute voice purred in his ear, “Geez Tess I’m damn tired today”

Tessera McAdams his girlfriend Clever and Annoying at the same time.

He wasn’t into the whole falling in love thing but Tess was different curly chestnut hair,the jade green eyes which left any one speechless and most importantly he always felt good around her.

She jumped up the desk and landed next to his chair.

“Typical you, It’s our 5 month anniversary just saying...”

She frowned while she said it, as much as Jake hated it he couldn’t take her out often due to his alter ego “TH3 V01d”.

Jake shared every detail of his life to her including the fact that he was TH3 V01d,

An anonymous individual who stood up and delivered justice on evil multinational companies and terrorist organizations, Governments never interfered in his work for what he did was untraceable.

Jake took her pear shaped face in his palms

“Look I’m sorry okay? I have to work on taking down this new terrorist group,CIA has

requested again”

Tess let out an audible sigh

“Fine ,Wanna grab something to eat?”

“Awww look at you lovebirds” Hari exclaimed as he and Patrich walked up to them. Hari and Pat his only friends, best in their own fields.

Hari was one of the smartest people he ever new calling him Tony Stark in real life wouldn’t seem like an exaggeration he technically was the owner in5nite systems a two year old startup. He worked on next generation medical systems and new drone and weapon systems for the US military which were designed by Hari when he was 14 .Things went bad when realized how many innocent lives his improved smart dust mine had claimed.

He left his father to take care of the company for a couple of years and went on to try and lead a normal high school life.

Hari so far as to changing his surname and living alone.

Even after Three years after disconnecting his past self Jake could still sense regret and sorrow behind Hari’s typical smug. But Hari despite all his mortally-gray past he always strived to make a positive change in the world through his creations.

Patrich had an even more dark past as his parents were murdered in a homicide incident right in front of him when he was barely 6 years, He lived with grandparents ever since. He sported an IQ of 167 and was the youngest person to receive the Wolf Prize in math for his work and “Probability and the human Brain”, They currently funded his education. He was often a consulting mathematician for big industries and laboratories like CERN.

“Do I smell a burning stomach now?” retorted Jake as he put his hand around her neck. “Whatever, Let’s hit the cafeteria” Patrich said waving his hand up.

Jake got up trotted ahead with the rest of the group to the canteen,

Newbrown High wasn’t very well know for its food than its Baseball team it was edible though.

The best part was it was quiet.

Tess rested her head on his shoulder, They ordered salads and fries.

Jake and Tess went up to get Root-Beers from the can dispenser, As he turned he found a bulky 6.4’ guy stare before him with long kitchen knife.

“Surprised?”He said in a shrill voice as he pinned him up to a wall and had his knife on his neck.

Craig Ryan the ex-Rugby captain he had busted under drug allegation.

Craig had been the kingpin of a underground drug ring and was trafficking marijuana to middle school students and Cocaine to high school clients.

Jake learnt that he had an entire ring and his operation was over 75 grand, They also had physically maimed a student who left the ring.

The operation was kept secret and Craig and his gang were never doubted upon.

Jake heard about it last week and the day before found him responsible.

Then last night he anonymously played them in their own game by setting them up to try and sell the powder to him while an undercover cop was observing. who led a bust to Craig’s operation base ,His basement and took in everyone involved were caught and locked up.

“They left my cell unlocked punk” He replied as if answering his question.

“I don’t give a damn if they catch me again ,I’m killing you ”

He screamed as chocked him ,Obviously under influence. Jake had training while he was in the CIA but he knew he could only lose the grip and Craig could potentially kill anyone in that time.

Just has he raised his Knife ready to stab Jake’s eye, Tess pulled his hefty knife arm with ease and pulled it to his shoulder.

Craig lost grip of the knife and started screaming in pain.

He turned around blindly swing his other arm in brute force, She slid down and caught his arm from below and with no effort redirected his momentum to an adjacent wall where he slammed his head.

Wasting no time she then kicked him in his crotch as he yelled in pain. She then put him down with a single upper jab to his chin.

All this happened before Jake could get back to his knees, Hari and Patrich rushed to help Jake up.

The NYPD arrived in minutes and took still unconscious Craig to custody,

Thanks to the waiter dialing 911.

The police were caught in awe and apologized for the mistake in the first place, The Police Captain later called them and praised their attempts.

They even wanted to give them medals for bravery which they politely declined,In fact they didn’t want to even be given credit in the press which took the Captain by surprise though he then accepted to their wish.

They finally opened their Beer cans back together at the Café. After taking a sip Jake tilted his head towards Tess asking,

“How?”.

“Yeah Tess that was some Sam Fisher moves” added Patrich. He would have sworn she Blushed,

“Well I was into Krav Maga, You know Dad’s was a military guy so....”. “But Still---“Jake cut off Hari

“Cmon guys give it a break”

The sun was setting, Jake checked his watch.

“Oh, Sorry guys I’ve gotta go, Got some unfinished business. I’m heading to the DEN coming anyone?”

“I’ve got nothing better,I’ll join you Mr.V01D “ retorted Hari.

“Sorry guys, Amanda invited me for an all girls night” Tess said in a sulking tone picking her bag.

“I’m heading to the New York Public Library.

Got a meeting with Dr.Brown for publishing my work, I’ll catch you in the DEN when I’m done” Patrich said picking his backpack up.
