Aatrox checked the paper with the address he was holding and confirmed it was in the right place. Looking up, Aatrox saw a building of at least 30 floors. It was nothing compared to the immortal palaces he had already destroyed, but compared to the residences of this world, it seemed quite luxurious.
"Good evening sir, may I know where you are going?" The doorman asked in a polite tone.
"Apartment 2601." Aatrox replied in his neutral and distant tone.
"Oh yes, Thomaz already warned me that some of his colleagues would arrive. You can go up. "The doorman warned him as he pointed to the elevator.
Aatrox went in the direction the doorman pointed and looked at the elevator curiously. According to the memories of Benjamin, this thing would go to the floor you picked, but Aatrox did not understand how it worked. As Aatrox compared the object to the laws of physics he had studied, the elevator door opened and Aatrox awoke from amazement.
A beautiful woman, who seemed to be in a hurry, was preparing to rush out of the elevator when she looked at Aatrox. Startled, the woman stopped for a few seconds and quickly remembered her commitment again.
Not to waste any more time and opportunities, the woman took a card and handed it to Aatrox. "Boy, I'm in a little bit of a hurry, but you can find my information on the card. Contact me if you are interested. "The woman said after handing him a card with some writing on it and walking away.
Aatrox looked at the card and just read her name, "Maggie Mode," as the elevator door began to close. Not to be left behind, Aatrox quickly put the card away and entered the elevator.
Hitting number 26, Aatrox waited for the object to work. In a few seconds the doors closed and Aatrox felt that he was being pulled up along with this thing. For him who had already flown with his own powers, knowing that he was climbing a few feet per second was not surprising.
With every close contact, Aatrox had with mortal technologies, the more he was fascinated. It piqued his interest. In his old life, Aatrox had witnessed several more technologically advanced civilizations, but because of the Decay blade, Aatrox didn't care about any of it. 'Can I remember some technologies of that time?' Aatrox wondered.
When the elevator door opened, he found himself in a living room. Apparently, the elevator had him in the living room of Thomaz's house.
"Ah, you're here, newbie." Thomaz said as he came from the kitchen followed by Carter, Riley, and Violet. Everyone, but Thomaz who was holding two, was holding a soda can in their hand. Approaching Aatrox, he reached out and offered Aatrox the soda.
Aatrox was surprised by the hospitality. He really didn't expect Thomaz to treat him well. In the old world of Aatrox, after something bad happened between two people, the normal thing to do was get angry and only stop when the whole family on the other side was completely dead.
'It seems that in this modern world things work differently.' Aatrox thought until he remembered Jimmy's old teacher. 'Or maybe there are still some bad seeds.'
"Thank you." Aatrox replied as he received Thomaz's can.
"You're welcome, you arrived on time. We were brainstorming about what to do for the job. Carter suggested making a text like a newspaper, but we rejected it because we thought it would be very boring. "Thomaz said.
"Yeah, we wouldn't have much to do." Riley said with a bored look.
"How about we make a song?" Violet said as she looked at Aatrox.
"Truth! We have a musician in our group, we can't waste it. "Riley said excitedly.
"That is okay with me, do you play any instruments?" Aatrox asked curiously.
"I play the piano," Carter said softly.
"I play double bass or guitar, " Riley said.
"I play drums," Violet said.
"I play the electric guitar," Thomaz said.
"I play the acoustic guitar," Aatrox said. "So apparently we can form a band. Carter playing the keyboard, Riley playing the double bass, Violet on the drums, Thomaz on the electric guitar and me on the acoustic guitar. "
"Yeah, what a coincidence that each of us plays an instrument." Riley said in surprise.
"How do we do the music?" Thomaz asked, agreeing with the planning.
"First we have to choose a theme. How about World War II? "While Aatrox was studying the contents of High School, this was what he found most interesting.
"I think it's perfect, there are some comics I read that have the same theme," said Carter excited for the first time.
"Okay, let's gather the most important facts and try to put it together musically." Aatrox said.
"Let's go to the table, there we can write more comfortably." Thomaz said a little excited. It seemed like writing the song was going to be fun.
After several attempts, they were able to put together the first stanza using the Friends' theme song as their base.
" Fascist Mussolini controlling Italy
Japan, it plans to spread with its military
Hitler and the Nazis want Lebensraum
And appeasement's preferred policy of Neville Chamberlain ... "
"It's getting very good! Who will sing? "Riley said excitedly.
"I don't want to," Carter said a little embarrassed as he remembered that he would have to present to the entire class.
"As a rock band, we can let the guitarist sing. Aatrox or Thomaz, who will sing? "Violet suggested.
"Whatever for me." Aatrox said without caring.
"Maybe we can do this together?" Thomaz said, surprising Aatrox once again.
'Maybe I really misjudged him.' Aatrox thought.
"I think that will be good." Aatrox said, agreeing with Thomaz.
"Well, since it's getting late, we can meet again to do the rest of the song. To practice how to play, we can practice on our own instruments at home by following the music of Friends and when we meet again we'll just have to fit it all in. "Thomaz said.
"Okay, my mom just texted me asking if we were done yet," Riley said.
When everyone had said goodbye, Thomaz told Aatrox. "Can you wait for a little? I want to talk to you about something. "
