The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)
Chapter 296 - Ororo's Feelings...

[POV Nemuri]

I nodded in satisfaction when the man in front of me gulped down in fear. I like having this kind of power that people respect me even when I am not getting my hands dirty. ​​

I hummed lightly... this made the man sitting in front of me shift uncomfortably in his chair. Finally satisfied with the reaction, I decided to proceed with the meeting.

"Commissioner Davis, it's nice to meet you once again" I said in a serious tone but like usual a fake smile was plastered on my face.

The man nervously accepted my hand and shook it and sat down in his chair and wiped some swear from his brows. "The pleasure is all mine Miss Kayama... can I get you anything ma'am?" the man now known as Commissioner Davis asked nervously.

Yes, the man sitting in front of me is the Commissioner of NYPD. Since I had some time I decided to deal with a couple of rogue Detectives before I went into Space. I don't want to deal with anything troublesome after returning...

"Commissioner Davis, with some of the upcoming Projects I am quite busy so I won't be able to stay for long. But due to some unavoidable circumstances, I had to come" I said with a tone of urgency. Commissioner Davis frowned after hearing me and creases formed on his forehead due to tension.

"Of course, Miss Kayama. Please tell me how can I help you?" Commissioner Davis asked frantically. I didn't have to manipulate this fool... that is what happens when you have an immense amount of money and you donate money for the police department from time to time.

"You see, I found a couple of Detectives snooping around my company so I wanted to ask you if there is an active investigation going on against me or not" I said with a sweet smile on my face.

As soon as he heard about the Detectives snooping around my company he started to sweat like a pig. Poor man... I wonder if I should conjure him a bucket or not.

"Ah... um... you see Miss Kayama, I can't answer that question" Commissioner Davis said while stuttering.

"Yes, I can understand that and I am not asking about the charges against me... what I am asking is if there is an active case against me or not... after all, if that is the case then I would need my lawyers" I said with the same sweet tone but the man in front of me turned completely pale.

"Ma'am, I can assure you there is nothing like that and the Detectives were doing whatever they were on their own accord... I assure you that this is not going to happen again" the man gave a speech like any other politician.

He might be the Commissioner of NYPD but to become a Commissioner you need to get involved with Politics and he is way too young to play games with someone like me.

"Thanks for taking care of this... I have been rather worried since it was reported to me that they were looking around... I immediately thought that I should call my lawyers but then decided against it" I said and the man nodded his head so fast that I was surprised that he didn't sprain his neck.

"After all, doing that would have looked bad on you and you are the Protector of this city... I can't ruin your reputation because of some hot shots" I said while stroking his ego slightly. Hook, line, and sinker...!!

All men except Reo are so simple, just stroke their ego slightly and you will become one of their favorite people. The bright smile marring Commissioner Davis's face definitely indicated that.

With that, I finally decided to bid him farewell and leave...

*****************

The rest of the days passed in a blink of an eye and it was finally the day of the launch. A tanned woman with silver hair could be seen pacing in front of a giant bed... the bed wasn't empty though. A man could be seen sleeping on the bed surrounded by 8 beauties... and none of them had a single stitch of clothes covering their bodies.

[POV Ororo]

Ororo... don't be like this. I continued pacing in front of the bed. Today is the launch... I know there is still several hours left before the launch I can't stop myself from being nervous. What if something goes wrong??

"What's got you so worried?" I heard a voice from the bed. My eyes found the person who spoke those words and I found Reo... the man I love sitting on the bed looking at me gently, his eyes were filled with care.

"I didn't notice that you were up?" I didn't answer his question, instead, I asked him another.

"When I noticed someone was pacing in the room I got up... you didn't answer the question, though" he said softly and he pulled himself out of the bed from the tangle of female limbs.

He walked up to me and pulled me into a hug. Even though both of us were completely naked, neither of us acted out of lust. He kept hugging me and I returned the hug... I think a couple of minutes passed since we have been like this. Reo pulled away from the hug and even though I was disappointed... I didn't let it show.

He gently pulled me to sit along with him at the edge of the bed and he kept looking at me with his care-filled eyes. I remember the first time when he kept staring at me with eyes like that.

~FLASHBACK~

"So, you love the serenity here?" Reo asked me and I just smiled. Both of us were just walking without any destination for about an hour.

"Yes, don't you like it?" I asked Reo with a smile, I didn't know if he was getting bored or not. This was our 6th date and we have moved beyond kissing.

I am quite glad that Reo doesn't mind it and he has no problem if our progress is slow... he just wants to me be comfortable at my own pace. Now, I can see how he has so many lovers... my reasons for liking him were quite simple.

I was naturally attracted towards him... after all, he was strong, handsome, tall... and those were the main things I looked for in any potential partner. Him being thoughtful, caring, supportive are just added bonus so that there was no way I could reject a guy like him.

But I knew that he didn't like nature that much... and even if he liked it, it wasn't up to my level. So, I was kinda worried that I might be boring him... after all, I don't like dates in cities or anything... going to a nice and classy restaurant to have dinner isn't my thing.

"Well, I don't hate it to be honest... I will be honest with you, I have never thought about nature so much but I kind of like spending time with you on walks like th..." Reo was saying with a smile when suddenly he froze and stopped walking.

Seeing him freeze up like that I was immediately worried but he was no longer looking at me... he was staring at something on the ground. My eyes turned towards where he was looking and it was some kind of blue porous fungus. It was really small and looked like it was slightly glowing.

Reo was immediately on his knees and he was checking out the flower with a clear interest in his eyes. "What is that? I have never seen a flower like that" I asked curiously and kneeled down beside him.

"What is this place named?" Reo asked me without answering me... hmm... I also don't know that much to be honest. But Jean did tell me the name of this place... hmm...

"I think this place is called St. Charles or something like that... it's in Missouri if that matters" I said, I looking for some new place to go on a date when Jean recommended me this place and it was Nemuri obviously, who gave me the Portkey.

Hearing me a huge grin appeared on Reo's face... his grin was really feral pointed his palm towards the flower and his hands glowed purple for a second and the flower disintegrated into nothingness.

It was beautiful and scary at the same time... this must have been his power of Destruction, this was the first time I have seen him using it. "Why did you do that?" I asked him with looking even more curious since he didn't answer my previous question.

"That was a seed left by a living planet... he wanted to engulf this world using that seed" Reo said pointing towards the empty hole in the ground. I shuddered... and here I thought that Humans are the biggest threat to us.

"Umm... won't he notice that you destroyed it?" I asked him slightly worried. He contemplated for a few seconds before he turned towards me.

"Probably... but it doesn't matter... if he had noticed me destroying that" Reo said and once again pointed towards the empty hole once again. "Then he would have also noticed the Power of Destruction... since he is a living planet... he will probably stay away if he is smart" Reo finished with a thoughtful look on his face and got up.

(A/N: SPOILER ALERT

It's not a piece of common knowledge but Ego isn't an actual Celestial. He likes to call himself a Celestial. He was just a living planet who was exiled from Black Galaxy. If you want to know more then you can check the wiki)

"Just like I was saying before something bothersome gained my attention... I don't mind going on walks with you like this... I honestly like it somewhat... it's relaxing" he said and looked at me gently, I could see in his eyes that he really cared about me.

I didn't say anything and my hands snaked around his neck and pulled him into a caring kiss. I poured all of my feelings into that kiss... I wanted him to know that I cared about him too.

~FLASHBACK ENDS~

Seeing those same eyes I wasn't able to hold myself back and decided to share my worries with him. "You know, I am really nervous about this... I don't know but anything could go wrong" I said with worry clear in my voice.

"Don't worry... nothing like that will happen" he said softly and kissed my forehead. "I decided to give this to you later... when you would be boarding the shuttle but this seems to be a much better occasion" Reo said and a plain-looking silver necklace appeared in his hand.

Even though it looked completely plain... I could feel the magic power oozing from it. I also liked the simple design... I don't like intricate pieces of jewelry that much.

"This is a Portkey... the strongest Portkey I have ever made... if anything goes wrong then you just need to say the activation phrase and it will bring you to Elysium no matter where you are" Reo said and put the necklace on my neck.

I caressed the necklace and started to kiss Reo. He happily returned the kiss. "You don't have to worry Ororo... I would never allow anything to happen to you" Reo whispered gently after we separated and I simply nodded my head.

"I love you Reo" I said with a loving tone.

"I love you too Ororo..." Reo said and pulled me into another hug.
