[POV Natasha]
It has been the best week of my whole life, I had never imagined that I would be allowed to live freely like this without any strings attached. I stood by the railing on the roof and stared towards the ocean.
My life had changed so drastically, it almost felt like that I was living a dream. I have spent a few nights only thinking that this was a dream, I was way too scared to fall asleep… I was scared that I would fall asleep and found that this was really a dream but thankfully it wasn't a dream.
I woke up in the morning and still found myself in my assigned room, on Elysium. Living here has been really odd… all of the residents here are ta-humans, they don't like much as I am human but they don't go out of their way to treat badly… and that is enough for .
I am at peace on this island, I would have never thought that I would be able to get away from my life as a spy, filled with death and killing but it changed on a person's whim.
"So, what's eating you up?" I heard soone speak beside and my heart almost jumped out of my heart. Since I was being trained in the Red Room no one was ever able to sneak up on but this logic doesn't seem to work on this perverted woman.
"Please don't do that!" I said and glared at Nemuri, she just giggled after she noticed that I almost shit my pants.
"Heh… I didn't an to scare you or surprise you. I saw you standing here and decided to join you" Nemuri spoke while looking towards the ocean, she had a gentle smile on her face while she spoke and she leaned on the railing like .
This was the first ti I have seen her like this not making a perverted comnt or sothing like that. Even when I t her the first ti in Mace, New York, she had that dangerous aura around her… it almost scared , but now I know that my instincts were not scared for my life but for my ntal stability…
"So, how have been? I an living like this" Nemuri asked breaking the silence, I was really confused… she didn't have any of her usual perverted tendencies.
"It's nice… I have never thought that I would be allowed to live like this. This is the first ti I have been free in my life… maybe you don't know a lot about but my life wasn't sunshine and roses" I said with a sad tone, Nemuri looked at and gave an understanding look…
"Red Room, I know, I have read all of your files" Nemuri said and I was really surprised… she had previously ntioned that she knew everything about … I must have thought that it wouldn't matter.
"Don't worry, what you have done there, what you had to do for them, and what they have done to you doesn't matter to , honestly, I just decided to check you out because you seed interesting to " Nemuri said in a gentle tone… is she giving a talk? At least soone decided to spend their ti on .
"But that's still my past and it's dirty… it can't be changed" I said in a sullen tone.
"No, that is why it is called the past, I know the past can't be changed, for a ti I also wanted to change my past but then I decided that I shouldn't bother with what I cant do… instead, I should pay more attention to my present and my future" Nemuri said in a gentle tone. I simply listened to her without saying anything… it was quite clear that Nemuri was much older than so she must have better knowledge…
"My life was also rough before I t Reo, but it was nothing compared to the pain you had to bear. I had no parents, no there was no one to tell what I have been doing wrong or the correct path… but when I found what I have been doing wrong, it was too late… there was no going back" Nemuri still had her smile on her face.
"Both of our lives aren't comparable, your life was way too painful for to understand but I just wanted to tell you that, now that you are free you can have any future you want" Nemuri said gently and turned back towards the door.
"But if you decide to betray Reo, then you will crave for death. Keep that in mind" Nemuri said while walking away, I shuddered, her voice was so cold, I felt a chill run down my spine. I have no doubt she would torture to insanity…
"I would never do that" I said, I am sure that Nemuri heard but didn't give a reply. There is no way in hell that I would betray him… even if I am not involved in any way with him, I would never give away my freedom!!
[POV Fleur]
"No, I an Phoenix, we are both Phoenixes" I said showing her my arm which was surrounded by flas. There was no way she would be able to ignore this… but the expression on her face gave away the answer.
She didn't even know that these were Phoenix flas, even if she never knew about her heritage, Phoenixes can recognize fire of their own kind. I am damn sure that she had so kind of Phoenix heritage. And there is only one way to stop Phoenixes from recognizing their own flas… mory blocking or heritage blocking.
"Is that fire supposed to an anything?" the redhead asked with a confused look. I am now pretty sure that soone must have locked away her mories or her heritage… and that person might be here. I need to divert the topic and get her to Reo, Momo, or Luna. They are way more knowledgeable than in these kinds of things.
"Oh, sorry, please forgive , I must have mistaken sothing. I thought you controlled flas… I an seeing your hair color and all" if I want to beco a secret agent then I must know how to divert topics and spout lies like everything is normal.
"Uhmm… sorry to disappoint you but I am a telepath" the redhead said.
"So, how long will it take you to tell the others?" I asked trying to urge her to hurry. I could hear the Phoenix's sadness… I used my powers and reassured the Phoenix… the way the Phoenix inside her is acting, I think the redhead and the Phoenix are completely different entities.
"What are you going to tell others?" soone asked in a gentle voice and I saw a elder man on wheelchairs arrive behind the redhead. The elder was being trailed by a scowling man with odd-looking glasses. I don't know why but my instincts are screaming at to lt him.
"So, you are the one who attacked ?" I asked in a scathing voice. I don't like people trying to look inside my head.
"Please, you have to forgive , I noticed you coming towards my mansion and I decided to check… I was rely cautious" the old fool spouted bullshit. My instincts were already screaming, my Dumbledore senses were going similar. I have t Dumbles a few tis but these two guys are way too similar… he must be this world's Dumbledore.
(A/N: This is a really valid comparison, Dumbledore allowed his Order mbers to die while he preached to give second chances to the Death Eaters. Charles tries to protect humans when mutants are being hunted)
"Please, don't try that again, or else, I will trap your mind inside my ntal barriers" I said heatedly, the guy behind him wanted to attack … I could already see from his body language but he restrained himself. Good for him…
"Why don't you go and inform the others" I urged the redhead again, she just dumbly nodded her head.
"May, I ask what you were talking about?" the old fool asked again.
"Leviathan had sent to take all the willing ta-humans to the safe-haven" I explained briefly.
"Do you have any ans to talk with him? I must try to make him understand the errors in his ways" the old fool babbled, I didn't know what he was spouting about but I have no problem allowing him to talk with Reo. I pulled out my phone and called Reo. By this ti a lot of ta-humans have gathered in front of the door. Since the redhead is still here… I expect at least they will be able to inform the others.
'Fleur, what do you need?' After accepting the call Reo asked .
"No, soone wants to talk with you" I said dryly.
'An old fool on a wheelchair with Dumbledore vibes?' Reo asked .
"Exactly, should I give him the phone?" I asked.
'Yes' that's all I needed to hear and handed the old fool my phone. He curiously looked at it and accepted it and held it similarly like I had done.
"Am I speaking to Leviathan?" the man on wheels asked.
"I must insist that you stop this madness! We will never achieve peace like this" the old fool babbled. Is he senile? He must be off his rocker… yes, that must be the case.
"Then, I have nothing more to say. But know this, I will use all of my power to stop you" the old fool said, yes, definitely off his rocker if he thinks he can stop Reo, anything Reo wants he will get.
The old man returned the phone with a solemn look on his face… everyone was now at the door. This makes it much easier.
"I think we have been delayed enough this enough, I was sent here by Leviathan to take anyone willing to the safe haven Leviathan had built" I said to the gathered ta-humans, and imdiately murmurs broke out in the crowd…
