Buster explained as he looked outside of the window. He then seemed to remember something and quickly looked towards Alex, "I did have a question. It's been bugging me this entire time."

Alex looked confused, he had no idea what Buster would ask. 'Did I speak out loud about the system again?' Alex thought back to try and remember if he did anything of that sort. But he couldn't remember an instance where he did something like that. Alex looked at Buster and said, "Please do."

Buster nodded and looked towards Alex's shoulder and his sides. He looked towards midnight, who was also curious. "Midnight and I both saw you get an arrow to the shoulders and your sides. They weren't that deep but they sure as hell weren't small. But for some reason, we saw a green glow appear at the places you got hurt. The next thing we know, the areas where you were shot were completely healed." He looked at Alex with a serious expression, "how?"

Alex smiled awkwardly. He had to think of an answer that would satisfy Buster. But he couldn't. Alex replied, "I have no clue. I guess I felt the pain and hoped that It could stop and the next thing I know, It felt like my wounds started to get numb. After a few seconds, the wound started to shrink and finally heal. However, I do have scars where the wounds were. They're small but still noticeable."

Buster looked outside the car windows, He was in disbelief. "I…" He couldn't speak. Midnight also looked shocked, "What? You mean to say that you didn't want to feel the pain and then it just starts to heal on its own?"

Alex nodded to Midnight's questions. He looked towards his shoulders and said, "I don't think this ability will let me heal others. I think I can only use these abilities to heal myself…"

Alex didn't want to have too much attention to his powers, 'I should first get a grasp on my own powers before showing off. So for now, I'll just say that I can't heal others except for myself. This might make sense as most of the top tier heroes I knew in my world had a form of self-regeneration. I think it's the same here or at least that it's common…"

Buster nodded when he heard Alex, "I guess that would make sense. It's just a bizarre thing. Some awakened can heal themselves but I never saw the green glow when they healed themselves. Until now, the green glow was associated with someone externally healing someone else. Never had I seen it for self healing. This is a first but I guess It might come up more as more and more people awaken by the increasing number of gates. It's rather rare to see a self healing ability for a lower-ranked awakened, well Never seen before you but It makes sense from what Master Zhun said about you."

Alex smiled when he heard buster, at least he didn't need to explain his ability anymore. He sighed and looked out of the window. As he did, Alex noticed a huge building around the corner. When he looked at the base of the building, He saw s figure stand by a black car. Alex immediately noticed the figure, 'Hana?" Alex said to himself as the car passed by the building.

He tried to look at the building but he couldn't see what building that way. He looked at midnight and asked, "What was that huge white building that we just passed?"

Midnight looked at Alex and smiled, "That's one of the biggest landmarks if this city, Goodwill Hospital. One of the most advanced hospitals on this planet filled with top tier equipment."

Alex thought for a bit when he heard Midnight, 'If I remember, Hana was tasked to investigate the cases of experiments on awakened children. A place filled with high tech medical equipment would be perfect for such experiments… I guess it would make sense for Hana to visit such a hospital but what doesn't make sense is why would they perform experiments in such a place. Sure, the equipment is high tech but would they even be able to use it. I don't think the security for such a place would be loose… I wonder why she went there.' Alex wanted to know more. He wanted to be of help to Hana so He looked at Midnight.

"These advanced medical technologies, could they get into the wrong hands for things like experiments on awakened or similar cases? I mean such things would be the most helpful for those who want to do something like that."

Midnight looked at Buster with a confused gaze. He then looked at Alex and answered, "A weird question but the answer is pretty simple, no. This hospital is also under the awakened bureau. Many new awakened are brought there as some of their powers could cause harm to them or others near them. So its well protected by not only the government but some of us awakened as well. It would be an insult to the entire organization and the entire country if these pieces of equipment were used for some other reason." Buster looked at Alex and spoke, "Continuing on, Experiments on awakened used to be huge back in the days when the awakened were a new phenomenon. But now, Not as much. The punishment is extremely harsh so no sound minded individual would even think of using that equipment."
