Chapter 74 - Join The Team

"Yeah? Who are you guys?" The woman asked Lucas and Wilson who had been stunned by her beautiful eyes, who now immediately shook their heads and woke up from their daydream.

"Wha..-

"Hey, Marla… Long time no see!" Nick cut Lucas off and he even appeared in front of Marla and pushed Lucas to step back. Marla, who saw that Nick was coming, suddenly changed her facial expression, at first Marla looked very friendly-looking at Lucas, but now the woman showed her full seriousness to Nick.

"You again?!" Marla said in a different tone from the beginning when she faced Lucas.

"May I and my two friends come in?" Nick asked Marla, who now didn't show a friendly expression at all. She opened the door wide as if to let them all into his apartment.

…

Nick, Lucas, and Wilson are now sitting on the sofa in the apartment, while Marla is now up on her bed cross-legged and looking at the three of them, then she is looking at Nick standing by the door.

"Do you want to come to me again? Didn't I tell you yesterday not to see me?" Marla asked Nick very unkindly, which of course made Lucas and Wilson realize that Nick and Marla did have a bit of a problem here at the moment.

"Yeah… I know you're mad at me for my behavior yesterday, but this is a different matter, Marla!" Nick explained to the woman who was now chuckling at those words.

"Khkh… What's different this time?? I don't think there's any difference, Nick… I see your attitude is still the same as the last time I saw you!" Marla said to Nick who now sighed and then said,

"Hear! Right now I need your help to collect the other stars, Marla!" Nick said to Marla who is now frowning saying,

"That word is the same as before, you asked me to do it… Didn't we gather yesterday? But what you did to Vernon made me wonder if we should be together? But then I got the answer if being together will only make us fight like that and give me the worst experience I've ever had, Nick… And thanks to your own words you almost died that day didn't you?" Marla said to Nick who was now chuckling at those words, then Nick, folding his arms and leaning against the wall behind him, said,

"But in reality, I didn't die, did I?" Nick asked very proudly, making Marla nod her head in approval. But then she said again,

"Yes! You are right …. It's because Queen prevented Vernon from doing so and I was hit by Kendrick's lightning bolt that he looked so sorry for, the two women who tried to protect their very stubborn leader, which in the end made them both retreat and leave leaving us injured. !" Marla explained at length, giving a description of what had happened, which made Lucas and Wilson frown upon hearing that, while Nick exhaled again, trying to calm himself against the woman.

"Did my words hurt you, Nick?" Marla asked with a rising intonation as if that was what she meant. But Nick in front of him shook his head, then said,

"No! You're right… I thank you guys for protecting me back then. But… their actions are still unforgivable, Marla!" Said Nick who kept blaming the two people, which finally made Marla narrow her eyes.

"What's wrong with falling in love, Nick?" Marla asked again, and the question made Nick clench his fists tightly. Of course, the first could be seen by Marla, Wilson, and Lucas who was near Nick at this time, Marla nodded her head understandingly, "I know you used me and Queen so they could follow what you said at that time, but they also know you didn't. have the right to do it, Nick, we are here are the same, is not it? Did you forget about that?" Marla asked again to Nick who shook his head slowly. The shake of the head made Marla chuckle softly and get up from the bed to walk back towards the door.

The woman opened the door for them all, and said, "I've decided if I will not come! You and your friends are just wasting your time!" Marla said to all of them. Lucas who heard Marla's words immediately appeared in front of the woman and looked at her face very seriously. Made Marla surprised to find it at this time.

"Marla… There's something you should know about them! Right now, they have destroyed many places, and we... Need your help to stop them. Please!" Lucas said to Marla who was now frowning and looking at the man who was looking at him with seriousness. And Marla didn't hear any compulsion in every word Lucas gave her, there was only a plea in his words. It also made Marla exhale slowly, she also asked Lucas.

"Who are you?" She asked who didn't know Lucas's name and who the man was.

"I'm Lucas, I'm a falling star just like you guys. And I am a teleporter. I'm the one who asked Nick to bring you all back together because I remember a task we have to do on this earth. But trust me, Marla. You will not like this task, and I need you to stop all of them who are doing the task including fire and lightning!" Lucas explained at length to Marla who seemed to be frowning in confusion with the explanation Lucas gave her.

Marla was now looking at Lucas who was standing in front of her with a frown and narrowed eyes. He immediately removed both of Lucas' hands that were currently holding his shoulders.

"What assignment did we get exactly? Why are you saying that I won't like it? How bad is that task?" Marla asked Lucas who was now standing, taking a few steps back from Marla.

Lucas replied, "Destroying all humans on Earth, that's the task we have Marla!" It was clear that Lucas was now looking at Marla very seriously. Marla was surprised and she agreed with Lucas' statement that she didn't like the task.

Marla chuckled softly, "You're joking about all this, right?" Marla asked trying to convince Lucas if what he just said was a joke from him to make Marla follow them.

But Lucas immediately shook his head and looked very seriously at Marla. "I remember it myself, Marla!" The answer, which finally made Marla silent.

"So… Are you still going to come with us? Or not?" Nick asked as soon as he saw an opening so that Marla could make the decision quickly. Marla also turned to Nick who was currently sitting in his place, making Marla feel even more annoyed with the man.

"I beg you, Marla!" The words that Lucas said to Marla made the woman look back at her.

"We need you! Because I know, we will become stronger if we are together, and we will lose if one of us is not around!" Lucas said to Marla who now closed her eyes and exhaled and then finally she nodded her head in response to Lucas' words at that time,

"Alright, I'll come along… I'll help you guys as you ask, Lucas!" Marla said to Lucas, who was now happy that Marla had finally agreed and would go along with herself and the others.

Hearing that, Wilson smiled happily, and Nick nodded his head in response.

"So… where are we going after this?" a question asked by Wilson also made Nick turn his gaze to Wilson as he said,

"We'll go get Queen and Aidan… after that, we'll go to see Vernon and Kendrick!" Nick said to Wilson, which made Lucas nod his head in response.

"Alright… let's go now!" asked Wilson to the three of them, which made Lucas turn his gaze to Marla who was now exhaling, and then said,

"Give me a minute, I'll get ready first!" Marla said to the three, who now nodded their heads and the three of them waited for Marla outside her apartment.

"So… why are you guys fighting, Nick?" a question that Lucas threw to Nick, made Nick turn his gaze to Lucas and asked again,

"What do you mean?!" Lucas asked Nick, which made Lucas smile as he said,

"The fight between you, Vernon, and Kendrick… are they the fire and the lightning?" Lucas asked Nick which now made Nick exhale and then say,

"I'll tell you, but not right now… Lucas!" said Nick to Lucas who was now frowning at the words,

"Why not now?" Wilson asked Nick, slipping into the conversation, which made Nick now say,

"Because it's not the right time!" explained Nick, which made Lucas nod his head in response, and so did Wilson.

Not long after that, Marla came out of her apartment, which made the three of them now turn to look at her who was wearing a leather jacket, jeans that fit her body and the black sweater she wore under her leather jacket, boots that were very comfortable to wear, which made her Wilson also nodded his head when he felt that Marla's stylist really liked him at that time.

"Let's go!" Marla said glancing at Lucas which made Lucas nodded and turned his gaze to Nick,

"Come on!" said Nick, and Lucas held out his hand to Marla and said,

"We're leaving now!" Lucas said to himself. Marla looked at Lucas's hand, and she took hold of it too, when she saw that Nick was holding Wilson hand who was also holding Nick's hand, which made her know that was Lucas' way of working at that time.
