A 32-year-old man was walking down the street to a bar club, which was always crowded with visitors every night. His eyes flashed sharply with many traces of bruises on his face.
He sat in a dark corner with a glass of wine and two bottles full of wine ready to fill his empty glass. Everyone here knew him well, for almost every night he would sit in a dark corner and drink until Hangover came home.
“Hi Joe!” Sapa a bartender who just changed shifts with his friend.
Joe simply responded by nodding, he uprooted the drink in his glass. Spending the night to the end of his consciousness. Staggering about to walk out of the bar, someone tried to help him walk. But Joe refused and continued his steps. He is a mutant who can control the force of gravity, so it is not difficult to keep himself able to walk until he gets home.
Ignoring some people who look at him, or maybe sneer at him for always coming home in a Hangover state. He entered the apartment elevator along with several people he recognized as residents of the apartment as well.
Some whispers were heard clearly in his ears. It was also an ordinary thing that could no longer disturb him. Whisper like,
“Don't approach him, he's a killer!”
“What kind of father tried to kill his own son.” Or more, or,
“Hey he's just a drunk who has a disabled child, he even wants to kill that child.”
Joe had used to hear rumors circulating around his apartment, he became the person most wanted to be avoided by them. Joe doesn't care, he has numbness after the death of his wife.
Joe used to be a kind and friendly man, he was a fairly successful owner of an advertising company, he married a beautiful girl who was so kind and soft-spoken. They live happily, the wife also finds out if her husband is a mutant. Happiness is more complete when they know they will be parents.

The sound of the elevator opening showed the fifth floor number, Joe exiting the elevator which made the people inside sigh in relief. The drunk man opened the door to his apartment and almost fell down, staring at the state of the room that was still neatly arranged like the last time his wife was still there.
A smile came to the refrigerator to get mineral water. Uphold the water in the bottle until it spills over his shirt. Put the bottle back and sit in front of the fireplace. Take off his coat and throw it to the sofa on his left. Relying his head trying to reduce the dizziness effect of the drink earlier.
Joe feels a void in his life, even the only relic of the wife also can not fill the void. His wife gave him a handsome son who was so adorable, but after his wife died from the difficult process of giving birth, Joe no longer wanted to see the face of the boy who was so similar to his mother.
After trying to kill the child, Joe eventually ended up taking care of the son even without wanting to love him.
“She's no longer here babe, she's gone.” He muttered like he was delirious.
“He'll be happy without me, you're happy right?!” Still fumbling with obscure speech he involuntarily shed tears.
Still with his eyes closed tightly, he continued to rummage until he fell asleep on the sofa. Poor man who is notoriously cruel even in the know of a murderer is a weak figure who may no longer want to live in this world.
Sky his son was a precious thing that also became an impingement on his loss. His face continued to shackle him in the wound, making him so longing that he could not accept reality.
Joe never really wanted to kill his precious son Sky. He just wanted Sky not to live with such a useless father. He did not want Sky to live without light like him.
The incident when Sky fell from the fifth floor of his apartment was deliberately done, it was because he could indeed control gravity to make Sky land slowly without being seriously injured. He had never shown his affection also because he wanted his son to think of him as a bad person.
He lived like a living undead but with a void of soul. No longer taking care of his company, he told someone to take care of it. Joe lives with a terrible wound in his heart. He accidentally marks Xavier so that the man finds Sky and takes him away.
Sky had black-colored wings, which showed blatantly his identity as a mutant. Joe doesn't want the boy to live among the humans who will hate him and stay away from him. Joe wants to secure his wife's last most valuable relic so as not to feel the threat from humans.
His plan to give the most appropriate place for his son was completed, now there lived a plan to end his life that was no longer valuable.
This foolish decision he had made would probably be regretted. However, Joe believes if someday, at least Sky will become strong and can protect himself.
Joe awakens when the morning sun shines from the window and disturbs his sleep. Joe held his head that felt dizzy and heavy.
Walked to the bathroom to wash his face. You can see the shadow of someone with a messy face because it has not shaved his beard and mustache for a long time. Leave the bathroom and go back to the room and lay her body on the bed.
His hand grabbed the picture of the wife and on the back of the photo was a photo of Sky who was just two years old. Joe smiled, rubbing the photo with a pity.
“Sorry, forgive Dad!” tears trickled down along with the last word that would be the end of his life.
Joe sat down and opened the document lying on his bed. Sign the document and then reach for the bottle of tranquilizer on the nightstand.
Upholding up the pill in the small bottle without water, he lay down his body waiting for the last moment of his life by recalling the memory of his friendship with his wife. How about when his wife always makes breakfast before he wakes up, and when the wife sulks when she is busy with her work.
The sweet memory lifted the corners of her lips, she turned to recall her son's rarely smiling face, even though the boy did not cry when he kicked or threw objects at Sky on purpose. She smiled because it hurt her feelings too. Joe does that so Sky doesn't look for him or cry over his departure. If Sky hated him it would be better, he didn't want the boy to be sad about his passing.
Joe ends up alone with no one by his side. He died with great relief because at least no one would ever be hurt again.
The letter in the document he signed before his death was found by the assistant who always came to report the company's affairs to the poor man. Death management is also handled by the assistant with sadness, because he did not expect the life of his boss would end like this.
News of death until Xavier's ears. The man felt the need to tell Sky. And the response shown by the three-year-old was in accordance with what Joe wanted.
Sky did not act, he was even indifferent. Xavier leaves Sky alone in his room. Unbeknownst to anyone, Sky felt so deeply hurt by what he heard. However, the child knows that there is a sense of affection that the father never showed.
Sky felt sad but could not express his feelings, he was okay if hit by the father, he did not even cry when thrown goods. Sky did not understand why his father was always angry and hit him, but it was better than being far apart and suddenly there was news that his father had left. Sky felt completely alone now.
When Sky was admitted to the Healing Chamber within two months, news of his recovery was relayed by Xavier to Joe. Xavier gets angry when Joe drops Sky from the fifth floor of the apartment. But, once he learned of Joe's intentions, a few days after the incident, Xavier made a promise that Joe would take care of Sky and help the boy and help fix the wings that were not functioning properly. And another promise not to tell Sky the truth.
Samantha learns that if Sky has just lost her father, the girl swears happy that the bad guy who hurt Sky has died. Samantha also promised to protect Sky from now on.
Either what he can do, it might teach him to run away from the House of Talent when he's free or steal data for fun. May Sky's innocent brain not be tainted by Samantha's mischief.
‘Three-year-old boy will be in danger if he is close to a bad girl like Sam'
That's what Archer thought, a good Mars could be a dissident because of Sam. Should Sam be expelled from the House of Talent? nay! The girl was Archer and Xavier's favorite ... Even Professor Shin also began to like him, and intended to make him a permanent assistant. Cussy girl is quite smart and can be entertainment when tired. Uh, did professor Shin think the same way as Archer about the nagging witty Monkey?
