Nate turned to Madison, his expression tense but composed. "Take Alice and get Bella," he instructed firmly. "I'll handle things on my end."
Madison nodded, grabbing Alice's wrist. Without hesitation, she vanished, teleporting the two of them away in a flash of purple energy. Now alone, Nate took a deep breath, glancing down at the street below. Since there was no longer a reason to hide his abilities, he bent his knees slightly before launching himself off the rooftop. The moment his feet touched the ground, his muscles tensed, and he exploded forward, sprinting through the empty streets. He avoided using his lightning, knowing it would draw unnecessary attention, but even without it, he was fast—blurring past buildings and traffic like a ghost in the morning.
