" So what do you want with me ? "
" Grab my shoulder firmly, we are gonna go to your daughter place. "
" How ? I did not say anything about my daughter. "
" Cry me a river. I have my own source. Ready ? "
" Ready. "
As Clef grab my shoulder and Nova help me by confirmed the coordinates I snapped my finger; then the two figures in the room disappeared.
( By no mean the universe we are gonna take a peek on is canon. This universe will take place after Dr Clef's suicide )
Earth, Alternate Universe. Approximately 50km from Site-17.
" So, how did it feel when you back at home ? "
" It felt familiar and weird at the same time. It's hard to describe. "
" Good for you. Haven't I erased your role as a reality anchor you wouldn't have been here. "
" You are right, so what you gonna do with my daughter ? "
" Don't misunderstand me. This is a reunion between father and daughter, I will let the rest for you to decide: take her and both of you come back with me or stay here liked a bird in a cage. "
" Well then, I choose the first option. "
" Wise choice, now we need to prepare so want to eat something ? "
" A curry dish would be nice "
" Here, dig in " as I hand him a hot delicious curry dish.
" Honestly, I still don't understand why you do this for me. Base on my experience, Reality Bender are a bunch of kids who attempted to distort reality; so why are you not like them ? "
" I don't have any reason to lie to you. See, I'm from an alternate reality where your existence, the Foundation, anomaly,.. are just countless number in the database. But I admire you, everything you have done to protect humanity from it ignorance, greed, .... Truly a person to hold in high regard. By the way, do Strelnikov still alive ? "
" Yes but he is retired. Why don't you use that power of your to summon him ? "
" Nah, it's better to recruit him in person. I don't want a drunk Russian men goes on rampage in the site. "
After 2 hours of eating and chatting.
" Okay pack up. Be prepare to leave and take these "
What I currently holding on my hand is:
- A smart watch
- A mask
- A pistol load with tranquilizer rounds
- A light weight tactical armour suit
- Some smoke bombs and flashbang.
As for me I only need a mask and some non-lethal attacks.
" What is with this smart watch and these tools ? "
" Hand the smart watch carefully. It will let you become invisible like this. " I equip the watch and become visible.
As I approached him from behind intend to scare him but surprisingly he turned around and trade blows with me. Grinned, I let out a barrage of counter blows with him until the invisible effect began to wear out.
" See that's the effect. No wonder why you are top rank operative. "
" Sure, I noticed that. What about the other ? "
" This suit will allow your body temperature hidden in case of there are infra-red sensors. The mask help you hide your face since The Foundation assume that you have died when you suicide. The rest help you deal with things easier. Just don't kill them unless you want us to be hunted by both the GOC and Foundation. Just don't make a big scene. "
" Further more this is a backpack, inside it is set of clothes I prepare for your daughter. Don't worry, this clothes will temporary neutralize her ability and will not damage her skin. The watch will recharge as you stop moving. The pistol has infinite rounds so don't worry about running out of ammo in the middle of the fight. "
We spent some minutes to draw out the plan. To put it simply I will distract the guards while Clef will take her from her cell. "
" On my mark. 3 2 1 GO ! "
