'So they are deaf.'
After thinking a bit Connor approached the three girls and motioned them to stay put. They nodded and he went on to exterminate the rest of the monsters, the Gate Team was about to arrive which meant that his team only needed to keep the area safe. Stay connected with m|vl|e|mp|y|r
Looking around he realized how bad this Gate Opening actually was. If these Rotten began to run wild around the campus the next generation of Evolved would've been eviscerated. He looked towards the two young woman in new light.
'Not many could've or would've done what they did. They are truly good fighters and even better people, unlike most of the Evolved who only care about fame or other stupid petty thing.'
With a sigh he checked on his whole team, they were perfectly fine. For them this was an easy battle. Sadly their team had no healing personal, so the girls had to stay deaf for a while longer.
Soon more helicopters and SUV-s arrived bringing medics, soldiers and for Connor's utter dismay reporters.
'The damn RIB. They definitely gotten the news about the girls defending the university. I feel really sorry for them, getting constantly harassed must be very annoying.'
The Gate Team arrived as well and went into the Gate to close it. The closing of a Gate is pretty simple after you clear it, you just have to go to the other side and stay there for a while. When the Gate begins shrinking you come back. Alpha Team had done it many times, when Gate Teams aren't available.
Before the reporters could rush the three girls a wall of regular soldiers stopped them. It couldn't stop the cameras though and they probably had pretty clear audio as well. Connor approached the medics, who were currently healing the girls. He got close enough to hear their argument.
"No don't heal me! Heal our daughter first, we deny medical attention until she receives it!" Said Angel Monarch, while shouting. She looked very pissed when the healer approached her first.
With a surprised look the medical professional went and healed the girl, then the two young woman. Connor was only a couple of steps away at that point. They looked at him with serious faces and Queen of Nature said, "Thank you for showing up just in time. And nice execution of that Corrupted."
'Why am I getting complemented? I came here to say they did a great job!'
"Don't complement him too much Bea. They were quite slow with their approach." Connor got a bit angry hearing that. They responded the fastest to the alert, they sere in the helicopter in under two minutes! That is fast even amongst the Teams! But he knew that they had every right to be angry as well, so he forced out a smile.
"We arrived as fast as possible, sadly the alert only came in 1 minute before the Gate opening." Angel Monarch just shook her head and said in a very exhausted voice.
"Yeah, I figured out a bit late that a Gate Spirit was on the university grounds. That one's on me, sorry."
'Did she apologize? And for a mistake she didn't even commit. Is Newber or Copen that different? How can an Evolved be so humble?'
Queen of Nature just held her hand and smiled, their daughter was sitting between the too. She seemed to be in the best shape out of the three. Soon some officer got to them, for debrief. Then they went on their way towards the dorms.
Connor went on his way with his Team as well, but the experience stayed with him for a long time. He wasn't even a little bit surprised by the news either.
"So lets see it right now!" Said Clockwork, he was always interested in Vicky's soul form.
Sera nodded and asked Vicky for her Watch and was about to open the status window, when she received a priority message, but not only her, Bea and Sera got one each. With curiosity they opened it and they were a bit amazed.
It was an invitation from that prince they met, Otto. He asked the three of them for a private dinner with him and her sister. Sera looked at Bea and they both shrugged. The others were confused by this interaction, but they showed it to them as well.
"A private dinner with royalty, fancy. They will even send dresses for you and a private vehicle, but weren't we invited?" Faith seemed a bit offended, but it was all just a joke to her.
"Maybe if we would have saved a bunch of people's lives by tackling a Realm Gate alone, we would've gotten an invite as well." Faith looked at Hellfire with murder in her eyes, then she smiled and began laughing.
"Anyway the dinner is only tomorrow, lets look at Vicky's status screen for now!" Clockwork didn't seem to care a little bit about the dinner invitation, but was very interested in something else, so Bea asked him.
"Clockwork, why are you so interested in Vicky's status window?" Before he could answer Lucy cut in.
"Oh, don't worry about him. He is just very interested in upgrading his transformation, he never shuts up about it." Everyone looked at Lucy with raised eyebrows and Clockwork facepalmed. She was looking around confused until Faith with a stupid grin asked.
"When does he never shuts up about it exactly? Not when he is with us that is for sure. Are you two perhaps spend a lot of time together?" Lucy's face started to redden, but she was just too shameless to embarrass.
"Yeah, we have been fucking for a while, so what?" They began to laugh, which angered Lucy and further mortified Clockwork. After about a minute Sera had enough of waiting and opened Vicky's status screen.
