Chapter 58 - Meeting the leader of the shelter

In an office Marie was sitting eating a lemon popsicle while an elderly woman looked at her curiously.

"So if your story is correct, you were just a girl who underwent experiments by the French government.

Later you died but were revived as the daughter of a god named Flavio whom you call Mama Flavio.

That triggered a breakdown of traditional powers, creating new powers based on the gods.

From that moment on, you lived with your father Julien in a nomadic life in Mexico, why didn't the French soldiers stop trying to kidnap you. "

Marie nodded while savoring her lemon popsicle "I don't remember much about when I was a baby, but I know they were always trying to kidnap me.

It wasn't until I entered the Calmecac with my sister that they stopped. Maybe my mother Miyuki had to see it too, who one day suddenly appeared. "

The woman sighed and gave the girl a smile "It looks like you were having a beautiful childhood."

The woman's face then became serious "But everything changed when that couple destroyed your group and shot you in the stomach?"

Marie nodded sadly and pointing to the stomach of her bear suit "It was the first time I felt a pain in my life, but the pain is not what bothered me.

My inability to save my teammates, but especially Suzie, is what hurts me.

It makes me feel a sense of helplessness and anger against that couple. I just want to ...

I want…"

"Take revenge, I think that's the word you want to use."

Marie looked at the woman seriously "They must pay for killing Suzie. She was my best friend.

She didn't deserve that death like the rest of my classmates. "

The woman crossed her arms "As an adult, the best I can tell you is to forget hatred, but you are not a girl, you are a goddess.

So I can only be sure that you will eventually get your revenge. Just remember that you must not make it your goal to take revenge.

Your main goal should be to get back home, although I doubt you know how to do that right? "

Marie nodded and lowered her head. "As far as I can remember, Mom Miyuki, she said the first step to travel between dimensions and later between multiverse.

It was learning to create portals, to move things from one place to another.

Unfortunately, I lost connection with my sister so I have no idea how to achieve that.

Although I have the memories of Mama Flavio, I don't understand a large part of them. "

The woman showed a smile "I think we can help you learn how to make portals. You will see this bunker belongs to a national physics laboratory.

The main inhabitants of this place are the best physicists in the nation, although all we ask in return is that you can create a door that leads us to a better place.

Our world simply died in nuclear war, caused by a conflict in Iran.

It's so stupid that the leaders came up with that solution, but I was just the head of the FBI in Chicago.

There was nothing I could do to avoid disaster. "

Marie raised her head "I think my Aunt Sunshine told me she was from the FBI, she even gave me her badge."

Marie, using her divine energy, appeared a plate that was on a black wallet, which she handed to the woman.

When the woman opened the black wallet, a small laugh could be heard before shedding a few tears.

"How small is the world or the multiverse, to think that I could see my daughter again."

Marie was surprised "So you are the grandmother of this universe, you also had a son named ...

Armando? "

The woman shook her head "I got pregnant with Sunshine when I was 16. It was a mistake from my unbridled youth.

But I never regretted taking care of her. I had to study twice as hard and I worked very hard to get a college degree so I could go to work with the police.

After this, I rose through the ranks until I entered the FBI. From the lowest rank, I began to climb places.

That also caused the death of Sunshine, because she wanted to be a police officer. When she entered the police academy, I felt proud.

But when I saw her corpse, something inside of me died with her that day. I couldn't do anything to save her either, Marie.

She died in a confrontation with gangs; she was too young and did not deserve to have suffered that fate.

But at least I know she's still alive somewhere else, could you tell me about her."

Marie showed a smile and used her divine energy to be able to transfer her memories of her aunt to the woman.

The woman who did not understand what was happening could begin to remember everything that Marie had gone through with Sunshine.

When the memories finished appearing, the woman looked at Marie with different eyes "Thanks for doing that Marie, but at the hour I think you should go out to be shown your room.

I'll give you your ID badge back later. I want to keep seeing my daughter for a little longer. "

Marie showed a smile and washed off the seat and left the woman who when she saw that Marie could only cry.

Although she was a strong woman, the feelings she had accumulated were too much for what she wanted to be alone.

Marie, who was accompanied by a soldier named Jhon, looked curiously at the bunker that was gigantic.

"Jhon, this bunker is too big how many people can live in this place."

Jhon showed a doubtful face as he scratched his cheek "I have no idea since it is classified information, but there should be almost 5000 people in this place.

Although the number could be higher due to scientific facilities which are off limits. "

Marie licked her palette and pointed to Jhon "I am not an expert on these issues but if you are a soldier why is that woman your leader if the FBI was not a police institution?"

Jhon sighed and looked at Marie "Sherlyn is our leader because the general in command of the base died a long time ago.

Although she is not a military woman, she is the one with the most experience among us, which is why she is the leader.

Also in this place there is no chain of command because the United States no longer exists.

It may have been born in them, but the only thing I have been able to see is this bunker under the city of Chicago.

I don't have feelings of belonging to a country that died a long time ago, but I'm not going to deny my origin either. "

Marie was surprised "But when I think about it you are not supposed to speak English, why can you communicate with me in French."

Jhon took out of his jacket bag a photo of where he was with an elderly couple.

"My father was from Quebec in Canada and my mother was a southern woman from Louisiana. In my family, learning French is almost mandatory.

Unfortunately for you, we are only a few people who speak French, that's why I was assigned as your personal guard.

I will always have to be with you. I hope you don't mind, little goddess. "

Marie shook her head "I don't like being alone, I hate it because of the memories I have."
