Nicole stared at Luis with a confused expression on her face, she had gotten a lot of surprises but this one was the most mind-blowing of them all.
"I get it, the false information on your profile was just so you could hide your identity and abilities," Nicole said.
"Yeah, what else would it be for?" Michael said.
"So you really an Angel or you're just someone special?" Nicole asked, still trying to make sure.
"Do I need to show you my wings for you to believe me?" Luis said.
"I would love to see that," Nicole said, acting like a high school girl now.
"Ok," Luis said, looking around the room.
Activating the skill flight wasn't something fun to do but he had learned a way to control it and reduce the amount of pain he felt.
[ Flight activated ]
"No, no Luis I don't think…."
Michael wasn't able to finish his statement as the Angel fell down on his knee with a little groan before the wings quickly sprouted out from his back knocking away the items on the table.
"Wow," Nicole said as she slowly walked to him and began to caress one of the wings. "It's soft and at the same time firm."
"You've shown her, now take it in before someone comes in here and sees you like this," Michael said.
"It's beautiful." Nicole said, running her hands on the white lines running through the wing."
[ Flight deactivated ]
She was still holding the wing as the wings retracted back to his body causing her to almost fall.
"Sorry," Luis said.
"It's not a problem," Nicole said as she adjusted her dress. "If you're here Luis, there must be a reason for it, what's your mission?"
"My story is really complicated but I do know I am here to help humans defeat Lucifer and his demons."
Saying that made him feel really weird as he was originally born a human and had become an Angel later.
"Help us defeat Lucifer," Nicole said
"Yes and to do that I need human allies like you," Luis said.
"Being here to defeat Lucifer means that every human is your ally but if you need any help or anything from me I would be glad to help," Nicole said.
[ Quest Update ]
[ Human Allies: 6 ]
[ Angel Allies: 0 ]
Luis took note of how the number of his allies hadn't reduced the fact that Dylan had betrayed him in some way.
'Maybe the system sees him as my ally or it just doesn't work the way I think it would.' Luis thought.
"Now that you know the truth about him we can finish what he came here for," Michael said.
"Yeah, but he isn't the one we're supposed to interrogate, it's those two boys and Dylan. Where is he by the way?" Nicole asked.
"At our dorm room," Luis said.
"Is he okay?" Michael asked.
"Yeah, he looks okay physically," Luis replied with a forced smile.
"Let's go, Michael," Nicole said, already heading for the door.
"Wait," Luis said.
"What?" Nicole asked quickly, turning to him.
"I don't think interrogating them is the best option," Luis said.
"Why?" Nicole asked.
"Because they will never tell you the truth," Luis said.
"We have footage that will make them tell the truth," Nicole said.
"Your footage captured them going into the woods, it didn't really capture them doing anything bad, they can still deny your accusations saying they went in there to do something else."
After listening to Luis say all that Nicole knew he had a point, if they didn't capture them doing the bad stuff then they really didn't have any tangible evidence against them.
"What's your suggestion then?" Nicole asked.
"I was hoping you would ask that," Luis said with a smile.

Nova had her eyes on the screen but would look towards Orah once in a while to see what he was doing and right now he was talking to Monica who seemed to have suddenly burst into laughter.
'Why would he send a Demon undercover here? A young Demon for that matter.'
Nova was too submerged in her thoughts that she didn't hear Nicole, Michael, and Luis approaching her.
"Nova," Nicole called as soon as they had gotten close to her and that was enough to snap her out of her daze.
"Oh, hi, I didn't see you there," Nova said.
"I can see you're enjoying the fights," Michael said.
"Yeah," Nova said with a nod and forced smile.
There was a long moment of silence between them as Luis shifted to the side, he could have walked to his classmates but he was okay standing in that position where he could get a clear view of a certain someone.
Michael kept looking at Nova and turning away before Nicole caught him.
The reason he kept looking at her wasn't because he was admiring her, it was because of what he had seen her do in the footage.
"Nova," Michael called to get her attention.
"Huh?"
"I've been wondering for a while now, what is your ability?"
"My ability?" Nova said, touching her chest.
"Yeah."
"It's enhanced eyesight that allows me to see farther than anyone's normal eyes can see," Nova said.
That was the truth, enhanced eyesight was one of her abilities.
The way she answered that seemed awkward even to her.
"Is that your only ability?" Michael asked.
"Yeah."
"Ok, your ability is cool by the way."
Hearing her say that her only ability had just confirmed to Michael that she was indeed hiding something that was the main purpose of that question.
"Thanks," Nova replied with another forced smile.
"A tough battle but he has proved he's the toughest of the two." Lieutenant Kate said.
The medical team came and carried the boy lying on the floor as the winner, who wasn't in a very good condition, was brought up.
"The next fight will be between Johnny Del and Maya Reeves."
'I don't want you going out there and making the same mistake Fred made.' Luis thought as he closed his eyes.
Nova who was looking in that direction despite facing the screen had noticed the strange act of Luis suddenly closing his eyes.
'What's he doing?' She wondered.
She looked straight with her enhanced eyesight to see that Johnny who was heading for the pillar in the second-year area had stopped moving.
"That can't be." She muttered to herself.
She activated her aura vision to see if she could find anything but she couldn't see anything.
She didn't stop there as she activated Aura vision ultra instinct and that was when she could see what was going on.
With her aura vision ultra instinct, she could see Luis' orange yellow flowing towards Johnny.
She knew clearly what that aura meant after all it was something that had been used on her a lot of times, it was the way every Angel leader communicated with the Angels in their faction, and seeing Luis doing it now had just confirmed something she didn't really believe at first.
'He's the one.'
