Rachel woke up the next day after having slept soundly, within her mind were not the thoughts of what happened yesterday, just that it had been a long time since she slept this nicely.
Her chipset re-started and she opened her interface to look at the amount of digital cash she had, together with what she had in cash, would be enough to cover the expenses thanks to Morpheus.
She didn't forget to give a single prayer of thanks before tidying up and departing her room.

What she found at the other side of her room, wasn't so surprising.
For one she saw Sarah sitting on the couch with her legs crossed and two swollen cheeks, the thing is... they looked recent.
And humming in the kitchen with an apron was Morpheus, cooking something, and what he's cooking smells incredibly nice.
"Good Morning, Rachel... excuse my modesty for using your food, when do you usually prepare your stall?" He asked without turning around, the two females assumed he was using the kitchen, neither of the two noticed how the pan was slightly reddish on its own as he moved it.
No gas or electricity was being used, only divinity.
"Good Morning, Grandma." Sarah didn't say much and evaded Rachel's gaze, still blaming her for this bastard's presence in their house.
"Good morning, I don't mind sweetheart, you shouldn't have bothered yourself... in two hours I should be down there... I didn't think you knew how to cook..." She even walked up to him just to make sure that he wasn't going to burn the house.
"Why is that so?" He inquired as he moved the frying pan around.
"Well... you didn't even know where you were standing~" She giggled and took a seat, giving her granddaughter a sidelong glance, she had never seen her this calm in the morning, she wasn't even wearing her 'jaws'.
It was then that she moved her gaze to the frying pan and gaped.
'Eh?'
"W-What are you doing?" She asked more with shock in between than actual bewilderment, if he doesn't have enhancements, how is he doing this!?
Did he lie?
"This is a magic trick of sorts, don't bother... I'm going to finish and then we can move the stall." He tried to not explain too much, with all the wonders that technology itself can accomplish, surely this small thing is not too surprising.
And indeed, she just assumed he's using some mysterious means.
"Are you going to remain with me?" She asked hopefully, it'd be reassuring to have him around with her in the stall, it isn't safe all the time.
"No, I need to go somewhere..." He had nowhere to go, but he wanted to look for a peaceful place to study the chips.
"Tha's sad... Sarah, and you? why are you here still?" She then finally addressed her granddaughter, a little nervous.
But before she could even answer, Morpheus opened his mouth again.
"Your good for nothing granddaughter is hungry and doesn't know how to cook, so I had to actually cook for her after what she tried to pull of, can you believe that?"
"..." The girl just clenched her hands tightly and said nothing else, indeed... today they had a 'rough' start.

When Morpheus woke up he had one leg on the couch and one outside the couch, however, there was something heavier on top of him.
He immediately glanced at the big pair of jugs in front of his face, however... the visage wasn't too reassuring, because the beauty sat on his crotch with her hands fiercely trying to strangle him, not having a good result apparently.
"..." He sighed and glared at her a little as she continued to squeeze her robotic arms tighter and tighter around his neck, but that damned neck isn't bending!
She saw that he woke up and grit her teeth "You have an enhanced neck don't you! it has to be!"
She hadn't seen many cyborgs with enhanced necks, it's one of the most complicated parts of the body to enhance mostly due to the connections between the many systems of the body.
Moreover, his doesn't look mechanical at all.
Even as his eyes opened to glare at hers, she didn't stop squeezing.
*SLAPP!!!*
He slapped her, softer now than before but her face was once again flung aside, taking the chance he then exchanged places and sat on her stomach, pinning her two robotic hands against the couch!
She couldn't believe she was this powerless!
"YOU!!"
*SLAP!!*"
He slapped her again, harder until the red turned slightly purplish.
"HOW DAR-!"
*SLAP!*
"I"
*SLAP!*
"STO-"
*SLAP!*
"..."
By the time she got the gist of the 'game', her cheeks were already burning.
Yesterday she told him that she would get her boyfriend to beat him up, but it was nothing more than words, she does have a boyfriend but he's weaker than her, mainly because he only has one enhanced arm while she has two...
Be it as it may, her poisonous gaze locked his, wondering what kind of enhancements he has to overpower her so easily, it might be corporation or military enhancements, only they get them so much stronger than the public market.
Seeing her reluctance, he stood up from her stomach, he had been wearing just small shorts and a small shirt together with her bra, no sight of the hideous jaws.
After holding her cheeks for a few seconds, she stood up and got on guard, preparing to have a serious fight.
She started with a jab, but it got quickly returned to her, he didn't even need to use magic.
The exchanges continued with her getting her face demolished each time until finally, he just countered her fist with a fist of his own.
*BAANG!*
The firsts clashed and hers immediately released some sparks and got flung aside!
!!!
*PAA!*
His first impacted her chest and sent her harshly against the wall where he took her neck and even lifted her up.
!!!
He's too strong...
"IF YOU WEREN'T RACHEL'S GRANDDAUGHTER, FOR THIS... I WOULD HAVE ALREADY KILLED YOU..."
"..."
*COUGH!!*
*COUGH!!*
She coughed when her neck got released, thankfully he didn't punch her had enough to bleed, but still, she could feel how her cyborg's arm got slightly damaged there.
Morpheus didn't even need an enhancement spell... before becoming a god, he was a six-winged archangel... after attaining godhood his race increased in rank, attaining him ten wings... although these bionic bodies could indeed make him struggle a little, they're far from being able to create a heavy wound on his body, at least not these ones she has.
Sarah didn't say anything else and just retreated back to her room, stumbling.
Perhaps, she and her boyfriend together would be able to do it? she wasn't too hopeful.
She came down not too late afterwards and saw him cooking, she decided to stay and eat since she's hungry, she's staying in their house, surely he will allow her to have some food, right?
**
**
And so, the trio ate, and the two females marvelled at the taste of this food.
Bacon-Wrapped Chiken Breasts.
"I'm off... thanks for the food..." Sarah threw Morpheus a deep glare before putting back her hideous jaws and leaving after covering herself in her hoody.
"Who are you leaving that plate there for?"
!!!
The girl that was almost departing through the door literally felt her soul leave her body... she looked back only to see those cold eyes glaring at her.
After gulping a good one in and remembering the beating that she got, she walked back to the house, took her plates and cleaned them before making her way out again.
"Aren't you going to say your farewells to your hardworking grandma? disgusting girl..." He disdained once again and it impacted right at her heart.
!!!
"..." Rachel bit her lips but she didn't say anything, awaiting her granddaughter's words.
"Have a good day, grandma... I'll be off." Her words seemed genuine but then her poisonous glare didn't stop looking at him to the point she even took out two fingers and pointed them at his eyes, then at hers before departing.
'The joke...'
...
"I'm sorry... she's just... complicated, don't be too hard on her." Rachel fidgeted, a little ashamed, but she's surprised that there is an improvement with just a single day... aside from her swollen cheeks that is.
She stood up and prepared to clean the dishes but he stopped her.
"Complicated? she's a villainess... a villainess I tell you! A demon duchess!"
"Please don't exaggerate, she helps me pay the bills and works hard herself... she... she just has bad manners." She sighed and then when she saw him taking the dishes to clean then, stopped him.
"Let me clean the dishes..."
"No, I will do it..." He took them but then she stopped him, she couldn't allow her cute guest to do so many things in her house, she's the one that's supposed to be the host!
"Morpheus! you can't do everything yourself!" Having had enough she took the dishes from his hand, the God could only sigh and pass her the apron.
After that, he helped her take her stall to the main road."Why don't you stay with me today? I'll work just half of the day today as I have some things to do outside, then you can come with me and see the place, I will guide you!" She requested him as they prepared her stall, she really likes his company moreover... those guys... they should be coming today to take the 'fee' nothing has happened so far, but she'd rather have him close.The Magic God considered her words, he truly has nothing else to do aside from just studying that chip, apparently, everything in this world can be accessed through the 'internet' but in order to access the internet, one must have a chip and therefore, he can't extract information out of there unless it's relayed by someone else.He refused to get his body dirty with any of those things."Okay, I'll accompany you, how about this? we can cook together..." He decided to
The moment Rachel moved inside her room, it was immediate, both Sarah and the man lunged together at Morpheus, but it was just as hopeless.For a while, he just blocked her fist and his knife, the two of them weren't able to push him back at all.*CLAANG!*His palm clashed against the knife and much to the surprise of the two of them, it was the heat knife that was deteriorating!*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!------That surprise caused a flaw that was more than enough for Morpheus to take advantage of... not that he needed to.He kicked the man's chest precisely when he was aligned between the open door and him, sending him flying straight out of the house and crashing on the streets."Ashton!!" Sarah yelled to her boyfriend only to notice how a palm was straight in front of her face.*SLAAAPP!!!*This sla
Sarah hadn't expected that the dish he was going to prepare was cereal with milk, it's already 2:00 pm, she's not even supposed to be eating according to his standards.When he served that to her, she deadpanned but continued to eat, her cheeks still swollen and her stomach hurting from the earlier kick."...""..."For some time only the noise of her plate was revered as she had her gaze locked at him, his handsome and strong self.This attraction that she's feeling, she would deny it with her entire self... after living so long in the streets it's more than normal that a female would be attracted to strong men, but she firmly refused to get attracted to a man that just beat the shit out of her.Moreover, she has a boyfriend... or had a boyfriend, if he's still alive."Why are you so strong? Where do your enhancements come from?" She sud
The delightful picture of a female could be seen swiftly typing on a keyboard inside a dark room filled with red lights, her hair is as red and shiny as those lights.Dozens of images moved through her head and her vision simultaneously as she studied them.'The Blackout, the bank... could it have been the same person?'That's her hypothesis, but... why does she care?Because she has to get her hands in that camouflaging technology and that EMP... only with those will she finally step up her game and reach V2.'So it's you...'The image was very fuzzy and she could barely recognise it, it's from a camera in barnet, there... before the robbery of the bank where that shadow appeared, this man was also there several blocks away.While everyone ran he was calm and then... he turned into that darkness... no doubt he must be some kind of androi
After flying for not so long while following the instructions of the hostage insect, Morpheus reached a place that resembled a wasteland far away from barnet, in fact, it was already out of London.'It's here...' The insect said and struggled to move away from the grasp of his element output.He looked to the front and furrowed his brows, if he hadn't been using the <Elemental Output: Stone> he might not have been able to detect it.*RUMBLE*In front of him, a metallic object that had been previously invisible finally appeared within his gaze.It was a vehicle, one that belonged to a particular kind of group.The police.The Vehicle ceased floating and moved towards the ground, intending to land as he followed.It was after landing that the door finally opened giving way for a beautiful silver-haired lady
While Rachel hummed in joy downstairs, Sarah had just finished moving the boxes away while refusing to be aided in this endeavour.Morpheus sighed and scratched his silky hair, 'I think I beat her too hard...'He likely did, but it doesn't matter... the objective had been accomplished."Here, do you want me to clean it for you?" It was a little dusty but it was a big room nonetheless, these kinds of houses are difficult to attain in London but since it's an inheritance, they can't do anything against them as the ownership is on paper."It's okay, I can clean the rest." He said and waved his hand lightly.<Elemental Output: Wind>Sarah felt how a breeze moved through her cheeks, eventually turning into a small tornado that fluttered the dirt around in its core, she moved her shocked gaze towards the God that only remained with his eyes shining slightly,
"Don't you think it's about time we have dinner? I think we have been here so long, grandma should have finished with it already..." She sat on top of a high building in this virtual world with a ghost beside her.A literal ghost."If that's what you want..." While they were playing here she answered all the questions he had.At first, she stated that whatever information she has it's what's available to the public, and according to it there isn't any particular activity that's putting the world at 'edge' in fact... the news say that the world is healthier than ever with a relatively recent technology that bases on plant life...Bullshit.Morpheus asked what peoples do regarding these matters and she said, that most people don't involve themselves with those things as most successful businesses are run in virtual environments like this one and they're mostly entertainment.
The next day, the three individuals sat at the table, Rachel was anything if not bewildered.Yesterday she passed by the room and saw the two of them laying together, playing her granddaughter's VR, they seemed to be going along well, now... all of a sudden the two of them are sitting each in their respective places, in complete silence.Only the sound of the spoons resonated as they ate their cereal, yes, it seems there is only cereal in this house.Morpheus looks as relaxed as ever, but Sarah is shivering slightly as if she broke a million pound's worth jar."Is everything okay?" She had to ask, otherwise, what's going to happen with her gossiping? with her grandma senses."Yes" the two said simultaneously."I'm going to help you take the stall Rachel but then, I'll be on my way, I have some things to do."Oh..." Her mood immediately so
