Chapter 88 - Trying To Know Each Other

"Maybe he has a reason for not being honest with us straight away, Lucas!" said Aidan which made Lucas exhale and nod his head in response,

"Yeah… and that's the reason I really want to know, Aidan!" Lucas said to Aidan,

"We will find out the reason as soon as we meet him!" said Aidan which again made Lucas nod his head in response to that before they finally stopped their conversation and went to sleep.

…

That day, the sun was not visible but the coolness of the wind was able to bring calm to the surrounding area. The tinkling sound of wind chimes sounded very sweet and beautiful in the ears of a beautiful woman who was currently cooking a fairly large pie, she even cooked not only a pie but five grilled chickens, beef ribs, and a lot of vegetables that almost filled the mouth. the large dining table. His smile grew there as if waiting for the arrival of some of the people he had been waiting for. "Are you sure… they will all come?" a question posed by a tall and thin man who at that time was carrying a basket of apples,

"Yeah… I think they'll be here today, thanks for helping me pick these fruits, Zach!" The woman said very kindly to Zach who was now chuckling and then shook his head in response to what the woman said to him.

"Oh! Don't ever think of me as someone else here, I am your brother, we are the same!" Zach said to the woman who was now looking at him with a smile,

Ting… ng…

At the same time, the bell rang and Zach took back the basket that the woman was holding,

"I think you should open the door… let me wash these fruits!" Zach said to the woman who now chuckled at that and immediately walked in the direction of the exit. The woman walked over to the door and immediately opened it to see eight people who were now standing on the terrace of her house, and her gaze was now on one person who was standing right in front of her at that time.

There was nothing she could do but to smile sweetly at the man who was now looking at her in complete disbelief,

"You finally realized it, Lucas!" said the woman to the man who turned out to be Lucas, who was now exhaling slowly as he said,

"Why didn't you just tell me or Aidan… Elizabeth?" Lucas asked the woman standing in front of him who turned out to be Elizabeth, who was now smiling again to turn to look at Kendrick and Vernon,

"I didn't think that you would also bring Kendrick and Vernon back here, they haven't visited me since five months ago!" Lizbeth explained to Lucas who was now exhaling in response to that.

"Don't just stay here, come on in! I have prepared a lot of food for all of you!" Elizabeth said as she pulled Lucas and Aidan's arms to enter and looked at the others with a smile to invite them into the house too.

"You …. did you know we were coming?" the question that was asked by Wilson at that time, made Elizabeth now smile and nod her head.

The nine people there entered and walked towards the dining room,

"Zach! Did I say the right thing right? They came with the others!" Elizabeth's words, made Zach who had just finished cleaning the fruits who had now put a cherry in his mouth turned to look at Elizabeth along with eight other people, which of course made him cough and smile,

"Oh! Welcome home!" said Zach to all of them who are now looking at each other feeling confused and strange to hear him say that.

"Sit down… sit down… and let's eat together before we talk, am I right, Lizbeth?" asked Zach who now turned his gaze to look at Elizabeth who was now smiling and nodded his head in response to that.

"Yeah… that's right, Come on! Sit down and let's eat first!" said Lizbeth to all of them who looked doubtful but followed everything that was said by the two, they sat down and ate the delicious food that Elizabeth and Zach had prepared.

At first, the dinner they were having was very awkward, but fortunately, because Aidan, Queen, and Elizabeth's characteristics were almost the same, making those who were there grow their smiles when Aidan accidentally put pepper into his own pudding, which of course was given protest as well as defense from Queen and Elizabeth, which made Lucas laugh about it.

…

By what Elizabeth said after they ate the food that had been prepared, they all gathered in the living room which at that time was very spacious, which made them all able to sit anywhere because of the many sofas, chairs, and windows.

"So… why don't you explain and admit that you're just like us, Lizbeth?" a question that was asked by Lucas at that time, made Elizabeth who was sitting opposite Lucas, Nick and Aidan now smile and then said,

"There's no rush to admit it because I know you'll always be here, Lucas!" Elizabeth said to him who now exhaled in response to it, Elizabeth's gaze now turned to look at Nick who was silent and looked at him carefully, which of course made Elizabeth smile now in response to that.

"Long time no see huh ..." Elizabeth said to Nick who was now frowning and then said,

"You… do you remember everything, 002?" Nick asked Elizabeth who was now smiling in response and nodded her head in response to Nick's question,

"How could I forget it, Nick… my power has to do with it all!" Elizabeth explained to Nick, and it certainly made those who heard it curious about the power that Elizabeth had at that time, and even Lucas felt so.

"Actually, what is your power… Lizbeth?" A question asked by Aidan at that time made Elizabeth smile without answering.

"With Lizbeth here… I'm sure we won't have any trouble finding the other two members, am I right… Lizbeth?" a question uttered by Nick at that time, made Elizabeth look at him still with a smile, which of course made them even more curious.

…

(Told about 001 and 002 trying to get to know each other)

Since the first time Nick met the 002 women, he had never spoken much, because usually, Nick would mutter to himself as if he had a friend, and now that he had it, he didn't know what to do which of course made Nick himself into trouble and confused about it.

"So… you are 001?" a question asked by the woman, made Nick who was daydreaming realized and turned his gaze towards 002 while nodding immediately,

"Yeah… I'm 001!" said Nick to 002 who was now smiling and again nodded his head while drying himself with another dry towel.

"Then… what was your previous mission?" 002 asked Nick who was now frowning in response,

"How?" Nick asked 002 who was now looking at him and then said,

"At first I was with twelve other people, they had different powers like me… and our mission was to dodge one monster… but in reality, we were actually tasked not to dodge, but to eliminate our own comrades, because that would makes us the left and the chosen ones. Is your mission the same as mine, 001?" asked the woman, which made Nick pause for a moment before he finally recalled a dark memory in the past, where he did have friends and there were twelve people with different powers, and yes ... he also got a mission similar to 002, but he never knew if the mission they were on was only to save the best one because at that time Nick was trying to defend his friends,

"Ah… you don't know the real mission, do you? Forgive me!" said 002 to nick who immediately turned to look at the woman and then asked,

"What exactly is your skill? Even though I didn't tell him and I was silent for a long time!" said Nick to the 002 women who were now looking at him and then smiling.

"Because this is my specialty, 001… I can see and hear all the things that are inside your head, and not only that… I can also see other things that no one can see!" 002 was clear to Nick, who was now exhaling and understanding what she was saying to him.

"Alright… then, from now on… I beg your help 002!" said Nick to 002 who was now nodding his head in response to that,

"Me too, please continue to protect me ... because I know I can't do much and need protection especially from you!" said 002 to Nick who now nodded his head in response to the woman's words and then Nick gave another towel to 002 who was now back smiling after getting another towel.
