I have to remind myself that the demigod was still a teenager and that he still acts goofily at times, but this is just ridiculous. I don’t know what he’s playing at or why he is here, but he could just come in here normally. If not then maybe he could have at least worn something...normal.
Whatever he is wearing right now is just silly. And what’s worse
“So I am not supposed to do anything?” I asked Skyr as I watched outside of the window of the submarine. I was sitting beside Skyr in the sub while the other members of the squad were seated at the back. I looked behind us to see that they were all preparing and attaching their protective gears on their body. I sighed and slumped on my seat with envy. I would be lying if I say that I wasn’t jealous of them right now. It's not like I want to go and do something dangerous but it feel like I was beeing left out.
The moment that the other left, Skyr brought the sub back underwater and camouflaged it. At the moment we were looking at six different holographic screens - a footage from each of the cameras embedded in the suits of Jack, Eva, Duke, Vie, Gray, and Falco. Skyr and I divided the task where I will monitor 3 and he will monitor the remaining 3. But just as soon as we started, he noticed that I was having difficulty monitoring 3 screens at the same time that he took one screen from my panel and into his.Now I was monitoring only two screens. Jack and Eva’s.“Testing...can you guys hear me?” Skyr pressed a button on the screen that was used to transmit to all members.“What’s up, general?” I could hear Jack’s voice through the radio earpiece that I was wearing. His face was als
The metahuman’s reptilian eyes regarded us carefully before it threw one of its octopus arms towards us. Jack pushed us both to the side and we scrambled to our feet to run. The gator metahuman bellowed behind us.“Nathalia!” Skyr’s voice boomed from my earpiece. “Nathalia, speak to me if you can hear me. What’s going on? I see you running with Jack.”“General? General! We need to leave immediately. A metahuman is attacking us!” I yelled out in a panic as Jack and I jumped on top of the roof of a storage building. We stood with our backs facing each other nervously as we kept a lookout at the gator.“Tell him we need backup. This metahuman can camouflage.” Jack says and I pressed the call button and relayed the same message that Jack just said to Skyr
“Hey, Nat. Long time no see. Well, from your side actually.” He grinned. I propped myself onto my elbow and winced in pain at the bruises on my back. Trei saw my struggle and chuckled. “Hang on. I’ll get it for you.” He says as he reached out behind me and pressed a button on the side of the bed. There was a buzz as the bed started to incline just enough for me to be after to see my old friend.Well, my ex-friend.But at the moment. It seemed like the fight between us never happened because I was just too happy to see a familiar face here with me. “Is it really you?” I asked. “I am not dreaming, am I?” I asked as I reached out to pinch his cheek.Trei slapped my hand away with a laugh as he returned the gesture. “You know that is not how it works. Silly goo
I let out a yell as I threw in a punch one after another at my sparring partner - Falco. Falco did not expect that I would be an aggressive partner that he narrowly dodged my first punch and had to block my second blow.“Ow! Hey, easy there. What’s with you today?” Falco says after jumping back to avoid my kick. “And I thought sparring with you would be a little bit relaxing since your back is bruised.”I lowered my stance immediately as soon as I realized that I was venting out my frustration at Falco. I didn’t sleep much that night because of Trei that I missed morning practice. Skyr didn’t punish me for it - thankfully. “Sorry, Falco.”“Hey, it’s cool.” Falco waved a hand. “I just didn’t expect you to go all out. Now, come o
The afternoon training went by without a hitch and Skyr no longer bothered me after that. Moreover, it felt like he was being conscious of me because I kept catching him sneaking glances at me.As I was preparing myself to leave, Eva grabbed my arm. When I looked at him he pointed at Skyr. “The general wants to talk to you.”I looked at the general after that to see him flinch when our eyes met. Then he started to look away with his arms crossed as if Jack was more interesting to look at. Then he frowned when he saw Jack pointing a finger at him and laughing. I saw Skyr gripping his teeth and cracked his knuckles before heading over to beat up Jack.I looked back at Eva with a raised brow. “Are you sure he wants to talk to me? Because right now I feel like he wants to turn Jack into a pulp.”
“Come on sweetie. There are no sharks here.” Eva insisted as soon as Falco and Duke finished attaching the underwater jets on me.“There.” Falco said as he eyes me from head to toe to check if he was able to attach everything perfectly. “Yeah. This should do well. The jets work like an extension of your body. It was specifically designed to read your suits movement patterns so you can react and dodge like you’re fighting on land. Though it won’t do much when you want to chase someone since the max speed is about 30kph. Of course that is only if you haven’t broken your helmet.” He said and pressed a button on the headband at the back of my head. Not a moment soon and there was now a thick and clear glass in front of me. “If you want to deactivate it just pressed the button that I tapped right behind your ear and it will retract.”
I missed this. Missed the annoying blabber of the students in the campus. Miss seeing the sight of these wanna be popular rich kids as they marched down the hall. I might even be losing it, but I have to say that it was nice smelling some unfiltered sweat and body odour. I swear in Atlantis, it is all about cleanliness that even if your armpits are sweating under your suit, it won’t even smell.Right now, I am wearing some plain jeans and a white shirt and couldn’t help but miss the fancy white suit from Atlantis. It feels more comfortable to wear than my current outfit. But right now, for the sake of this mission - mine and Rachel’s first mission - I will have to bear with it.“Ugh!” Rachel almost gagged when she came out of the girl’s bathroom and shivered as she sprayed alcohol all over her hands and her purple sleev
