Damon tries to keep his mind as neutral as possible, he wants to sit and have a heart-to-heart discussion with Athena. She'd dropped countless messages for him, however, he'd called her and told her to keep calm and focus on getting better, and without waiting for her to say anything, he'd ended the call. He strived to keep calm and think straight without anyone interrupting him, talking to her would have been some kind of distraction. He doesn't wish to speak to her over the phone, he wants to talk to her face to face which is why he's neither replying to her messages nor paying heed to Electra whenever she brings up the issue. They stepped out of the elevator in the health care section of the Villa and began to move toward Athena's room. The hospital stench that welcomed him when he stepped into the section almost made him want to turn back and wait for Athena to be discharged. According to the Doctor, she would be discharged today and he'd stylishly waited but he didn't hear a
"You could have told me you have flower allergies, I'm so sorry Athena. I meant no harm." Trevor apologized to the woman sitting on her bed. "You really don't have to apologize, I love flowers and you brought them with so much affection, how could I reject it? I thought I'd get discharged earlier but it turns out that the doctor was out on a business meeting which was why I was still in the hospital bed." She said with a smile. "Well, all is good now, you got the comfort of your room. I'm glad you're well now, you got all of us scared... Especially him." Electra said, pointing towards Damon. Damon heard what Electra said but chose to ignore it, after Athena's allergic reaction, he'd phoned Doctor Alec asking if Athena could be discharged and he'd affirmed it. He'd brought her to her room to rest but she insisted on him staying saying that she wanted to clear all misunderstandings. He wanted to clear up all the misinterpretations too, so he stayed. "Awww, I never knew I'd captured
"Hey. Want some booze?" A calm female voice asked but Damon's eyes were just fixed on the novel he was reading."I'm sorry, okay. I know I've been a swine, so I'm sorry." Athena apologized when Damon didn't give her a speck of attention.Damon dropped the novel he was trying to read and turned to face the woman standing with a wine and two glasses"Are you planning to get me drunk?" He asked and invited her to come sit.Athena chuckled and sat down on the couch closer to him, "Electra told me you have a very high tolerance for alcohol so, don't worry, I won't even try to get you drunk." She replied with a smile. "Alright, how's your health? Getting better huh?" "Yeah, I am. It's a normal thing for me, I get such panic attacks whenever I see something relating to my past." She revealed."I'm interested in your past, are you ready to talk about it or are you just here to judge me as usual?" He asked and she chuckled."I'm sorry for whatever I did, I am just... You know, like that. I'm
The phone was ringing. Damon's eyes were closed, he cussed in the state of subconsciousness at the intruder that was disturbing his sleep. He'd labored for that sleep before it finally took him in its weak slumber. The phone continues to ring but he chooses to ignore it, the caller will either get tired of calling and stop or get frustrated. Simple and plain. He's not compromising his rest for anything, he'd finally gotten the little rest he deserved after a very long time. The ringing stopped only to resume again, well... The caller has a strong resolution. He brought his wrist close to his mouth and muttered, "AI, block that fucking call." "Call blocked." The robotic voice announced and a smug graced his sleepy face."It's already 8:50 in the morning." It disclosed but Damon chose to ignore it. Having the AI is a blessing and a curse for him.Damon tried to sleep again but he could not, the call had definitely chased away the little sleep in his eyes. Opening his eyes, he l
"Well, that's a well-thought-out plan. Extraordinarily promising, it's dangerous but it's good." Electra said as she stuffed some hot tacos in her mouth. "Stop talking with your mouth full, you're eating something spicy you know?" Trevor cautioned but the woman just scoffed at him and refocused her attention back on Damon who was sitting and studying some files. He'd brief them on what to do and the three of them believed it was a perfect plan. Lethal but reasonable... They've got to take the risk. "You should call your assassins back then, I don't think they can help anymore, besides we're going there on our own," Athena suggested. "Yeah I think so, they've been there for a long time. I'm sure they miss home and all their friends." Trevor agreed."What's your take on it, Electra?" Athena asked the young woman who was busy eating. They'd tagged her foodie but Electra's insane appetite for today was insane, she had surpassed what she'd take this week alone. "I'll go with whatever
TWO WEEKS LATER. "What are we going to do boss? I'm going wild right now." Electra asked, pacing around in the tenth they'd set up for the night. "Why are you so restless? Hold your horses, Electra." Trevor conveyed. Electra stopped pacing, turned to look at him, and frowned, "We've not heard from Athena for the past two days we camped here and you want me to hold my horses? You have to be kidding me." She said in frustration and sat down on the nearest chair."Okay, keep up with the worry, Let's see if that would bring her back." Trevor huffed and turned back to start working on his laptop. Damon sighed, maybe it was truly a bad idea to send Athena into that fortress, he should not have agreed when she suggested it. Some of the assassins they had sent for the past few months came back with some useful information; they could not gather evidence because the security in the fortress was extraordinarily elevated. Before one would get in, there'd be so many scans and checkups by dif
Damon's eyes scanned the huge building they were entering, there were guards which of course were killer machines in every corner of the building. They may be men on the outside but they are void of emotions, those types kill without a tug of emotions... Probably, animals are way better than them. "Move!!" The order came from one of the soldiers who was leading them inside. The men in the building who have undergone the experiment are regarded as ‘Machines’ Or ‘Soldiers.’ They don't call them assassins like they usually do.Damon looks around for Electra but he cannot find her, he can't help but pray that she should be alright. He'd stopped praying at a very young age when he found out that no matter how hard he beseeched, none of his prayers were ever answered, in fact, his situation seemed to get worse sometimes so he'd decided to quit the habit, however, as they take them to a new cell today, he can't help but pray that his faithful shield is safe and sound. They've been here for
"If things go well, what would be my reward?" Athena asked as she worked her way around the huge primary system center.Damon turned to look at her in fascination, "What kind of reward do you want, great mind?" He asked, his eyes focused on her.This was the last phase of the mission, once the system got hacked and destroyed, everything in the fortress would be affected because every little device was connected to the primary system center. "How about you organize a party for us? It won't be bad to have our own party. We have a house full of young blood eager for fun, a party would not harm. What do you think?" She asked, her fingers working on the laptop keyboard violently."I'll think about it, just stay focused." He replied and Athena smiled. It might be the last part of the operation but it is extremely difficult too. If they're caught, they'll be done for good. "All done, we're awaiting your order," Electra announced as she halted beside them. "Good, is the communication with
