Chapter 12 - Omega and Stormy: Team Bonding and Memories

Back in the Magnus Lair. Omega and Stormy race in the Lair in the MagnusMobile and MagnusCycle respectively. Omega's mission only started three and a half years ago, and now he has a partner and another assistant.

Omega hops out of the MagnusMobile whilst Stormy and Nesha dismount the MagnusCycle.

"Yo EJ!" Omega shouts, "We have a guest."

EJ pops her head out of the computer area and looks at the two vigilantes. She also notices the awkward looking Nesha clinging to Stormy's arm. Omega walks up to EJ at the computer area.

"I didn't know we just let random people in?" EJ asks,

"I didn't know you can just keep a secret partner hidden in your pocket! Besides, this is more for her protection." Omega replies, "And you can thank Alexander."

"He was trying to make a hit on the club?"

"He was planning a mass murder. Pretty much as a way of 'cleansing the country' as he puts it."

"And Ariel?"

"Seems she doesn't approve of Alexander's vision. She basically told me everything Alexander is planning.

"Why would she do that?"

"Thinks her vision's better I guess."

"Well, don't even think about letting her get her claws into you, okay?"

"I know… I'm gonna take five upstairs, I need to clear my head."

As EJ finishes up talking with Omega, Omega heads off up the elevator back to the lake house in which he resides. Clearly a lot has happened, so he feels needing a moment to himself is needed.

EJ looks towards Stormy and Nesha.

"So who's our guest?"

Stormy leads Nesha up towards the computer area.

"This is Tanesha Mansingh." Stormy introduces Nesha to EJ. "We just call her Nesha. Nesha, this is Elizabeth Jeremy, we just call her EJ."

Both EJ and Nesha shake hands.

"She happens to be shy, so don't take offense to the silent treatment." Stormy goes on, "She does happen to be a computer programmer with hacking skills."

"Oh jeez! That gives me a break at least!" EJ happily proclaims, "Well, we can get you set up."

All three women sit at the Magnus Computer. EJ shows Nesha how to use the highly sophisticated computer, which consists of a high-tech keyboard and mouse along with two massive dual monitors and multiple smaller screens.

"These kind of computers I thought NASA would have!" Nesha says, as if she was in a candy store.

"Oh yeah, this is the works!" EJ replies, "We can monitor both Omega and Stormy as well as all criminal, police and civilian activity in the area."

EJ finishes instructing Nesha, and proceeds to stand up.

"Well, I'm gonna hit the sack. See you in the morning." EJ proceeds to the elevator, where Omega comes back down and passes EJ on the way.

Omega goes to sit with the pair of Stormy and Nesha.

"All settled in?" Omega asks Nesha,

"Yep. I like it here." Nesha shyly replies,

"So are you two going to give each other a shot?"

Stormy and Nesha look at each other.

"I'd like to." Nesha replies happily. Stormy smiles at Nesha's response. Nesha then turns to Omega.

"Have you ever been in love?" Nesha asks,

"Once…" Omega softly replies, as if looking back on a painful memory.

"Tengge?" Stormy asks, Omega looking away as if Stormy hit a nerve.

Tengge Hunter, Omega's love interest whom he'd first met three years ago. Tengge was born into a ninja family and was trained to be one. She'd had come to Brisbane City on a mission, which is where by chance, she met a young Steven Lockyer. Three months after being in a relationship, Tengge failed in her assigned mission by being foiled by Steven under his Omega Magnus identity. Steven convinced Tengge to abandon her ninja life, and revealed to Tengge what he really is. Rather than being freaked out like most people would, Tengge developed a deep love for Steven for what was inside his heart, rather than what he was. She was introduced to Steven's family, who graciously accepted her in their lives. Tengge then decided to abandon her mission and her ninja life, choosing to be with Steven instead.

Omega didn't begin his career as a vigilante on his own. In addition to his aunt Stefani Lockyer helping him set up his operation, Tengge decided to become a vigilante alongside Omega. Her code name was Nami Magnus, mostly to honor her late mother who was brutally murdered when she was young. The two worked together for one year, when an incident went horribly wrong, and Tengge was presumed dead after a building she was in exploded. She was helping innocent civilians to evacuate after terrorists planted explosives all over the building.

Omega explains the entire story to Nesha, who is in tears from hearing the sad tale.

"I actually remembered you having another with you." Nesha says, "She was really beautiful. She had long purple hair right?"

"Yeah, that's her." Omega replies, "I don't talk about her much, but… I do think about her a lot. She was truly unique."

"I really loved her. She was wonderful, nice, kind, she was an angel." Stormy chimes in, "What did you mean when you said she knew she was going to die?"

"She left her old organization behind." Omega says, "Clearly there had to be consequences, but Tengge didn't care. I guess she was more worried about me I guess."

"Did Ariel know about Tengge?" Stormy asks,

"No, I hadn't seen much of Ariel after we graduated high school." Magnus answers, "It was only eighteen months ago when I saw her again."

"So what's the story between you and Ariel?" Nesha asks,

"We were best friends in high school." Omega responds, "She basically got me to come out of my shell really. I guess she did have a thing for me. But I never had a thing for her."

"You said that Ariel was helping you." Nesha speaks up, "You don't suppose she's trying to distract you from Alexander, is she?"

Omega freezes in place. He hadn't thought of that.

"Well, I don't know…" Omega says, unsure of himself,

"You're trying to save her aren't you?" Nesha asks, "It's honorable and all, but if it's too late, you need to know what's more important."

As Omega tries to give his answer to what Nesha said, EJ comes rushing in.

"Turn the TV on now!" EJ shouts,

Stormy flicks the TV on, which shows a bunch of hooded cultists along with Alexander Stephenson.
