Aiger inspected and admired the futuristic backpack strapped on his back, examining its complicated design. The combination of graphene and carbon fiber material that was used as a cover fascinated him, and the core's radiant bluish light resembled something out of an Iron Man movie. Was this some form of nanotechnology? He noticed a subtle circuitry layout upon closer inspection, sparking curiosity about the technology powering it. Electricity? or some kind of energy?
But, he still couldn't understand why the enigmatic scientist, Evel, had summoned him to Dread Tower. It was a place he ended up out of sheer boredom, following the confiscation of his pranking materials that he hid very well by Mommy Valt —mothers always seemed to possess a creepy talent for finding things.
"Why bring me here to see this futuristic backpack? It's cool, but why?" (This guy better not waste my time.) Aiger's confusion was palpable as he examined the shiny yet surprisingly lightweight gadget.
"I called you here to be my test subject," Evel declared matter-of-factly, brushing off Aiger's eye roll.
"No sugarcoating, huh?" Aiger jested.
"Of course not. I'm a scientist. I only speak the truth," Evel retorted.
"Fine. Just explain the purpose of this invention," Aiger demanded, noticeably unimpressed.
Evel found amusement in Aiger's demeanor and began, "It's a levitation device I created out of boredom and research."
"How does it work?"
Evel grinned smugly, enjoying Aiger's curiosity. "Let me simplify. It's based on Simple Harmonic Motion and utilizes a theoretical concept of creating and reversing a Graviton – which is a hypothetical quantum particle and not detectable – to manipulate gravity. Basically, we're defying physics by modulating gravity using an undisclosed energy signature."
Aiger nodded, only partially grasping the explanation. "Let's call it Levitron."
"Levitron?" Evel raised an eyebrow.
"A combination of Levitation and Megatron."
"I don't understand the reference, but fine, since you're my test subject," Evel conceded.
"If this weren't so interesting, I'd throw it at your face," Aiger grumbled, prompting a chuckle from Evel.
"Let's move on and start the experiment," Evel asserted, turning to his personalized laptop.
"Powering up in 3...2...1..." Evel initiated the sequence.
The world seemed to pause as Aiger slowly lifted from the ground, a mix of surprise and excitement escaping him. But unknown to Aiger, Evel, with a mischievous smirk, tampered with his tablet, causing the backpack's lights to flicker and malfunction.
Suddenly, instead of floating, Aiger shot uncontrollably upward, crashing into the ceiling and hurtling out of a window, and falling over to the ground below.
"Whoa! That was amazing! Let's do it again!" Aiger's cheerful exclamation, almost oblivious to the danger of falling out of a window (and made a mental note not to tell this to Mommy Valt), was met with a smirk from Evel, who had staged the fall intentionally.
Unbeknownst to Aiger, Evel had another motive for summoning him—a pang of loneliness. With the annoying twins absent and his assistant Kyle away researching an energy manifestation in England, Evel felt lonely in the quiet Dread Tower. A test subject as a company is good enough.
Amidst his musings, Evel found himself itching for a connection in a world filled with lies and illusions of happiness. But for someone like him, companionship seemed impossible.
In that short moment, a longing for understanding lingered in his heart—a desire for companionship in a life where it felt impossible to find a genuine connection.
Disgusted by these emotions, Evel decided to rid himself of such feelings. After all, in his track f scientific pursuit and self-imposed isolation, emotions were a hindrance and a burden.
