Ally felt as if she is over the moon all morning, with light comfortable tingles going all around her body. She recalled all of the action last night between herself and Jon, and can't help but be a little embarrassed by her demeanor. Sure, everything was exactly what she wanted to do, and she felt the sensations that she was afraid she could never feel...but...what now?
Rolling over to the side to see Jon sleeping next to her calmly as his lean and well-built body is only half covered with the duvet, Ally reached out and wrapped on of her hands around his chest before warming it up gently for him.
Jon grunted lightly before reaching out with his own hand and grabbing Ally on the head before it found its way towards her neck area and pulling her close.
He said something unintelligible before continuing to sleep with Ally just watching it closely.
Ally wished every moment that she spends with Jon can be frozen in time and lasting forever, but somehow...she also knew that all good things must come to an end.
Their front door to their suit was cranked open and then closed.
And then opened and closed again.
That must have been Pethant heading off towards his morning gym session...Ally thought as she looked up to see Jon looking right at her.
Her heart beats so loudly and powerfully that she felt Jon must also be able to feel it through the close contact with her body.
'So it did happen yesterday...' Jon said, looking up in the ceiling.
'You-didn't-like-it?' Ally asked, her voice audibly tensing up despite her best attempt to sound neutral.
'No...it was great.' Jon said with a loud chuckle, 'but I don't think I can do more of that physically for a little while...Everything is kind of sore...'
'Was-it-from-the-battle-with-the-Two-Fingers?' Ally asked innocently. Jon turned his head and gave her a prolonged stare before slowly shaking his head.
'Oh....'
Eventually, they dissembled from the warm cuddle and headed back out to the living room when suddenly two shopping bags was put in front of his bedroom. That must have been what the second opening and closing of the door was, Ally thought.
One of the bags had Imogen's name one, while the other had Freya's.
'What the hell...' Jon murmured before opening up Imogen's shopping bag first. There was a brand new bright red hoodie followed by a note.
"Hey Jon, Imogen here. Sorry for the stupidity yesterday...both of us were drunk and a little...horny. Anyway, if you ever need anything from me, just contact me through this number. Imogen xx"
Always the polite one on the outside...Ally made a face behind Jon when he was reading through the note.
'Maybe Pethant would want this...' Jon said, 'would match up with his hair well, right?'
'YES! My-love-look-the-best-wearing-my-hoodie!!!' Ally said cheerfully and reached out to grab the hoodie before tossing it on the ground in front of Pethant's room before Jon even said anything else. Oh well.
Freya's shopping bag appeared to have been altered since Ally last saw it, and there was also a note beside a full set of shiny formal suits.
"If you wanted to get more information on the trade of the RED BLOB and those behind it, come find me at S'. Something big is happening at this level, and you may want to be here for it."
Jon held the note and stood there for a moment without speaking. Then, he lets out a sigh.
'What's-the-matter, my-love?' Ally asked, poking her head in front of Jon and looking into the note, 'isn't-it-just-S-city-we-are-going-to?'
'No.' Jon said, pointing to the dash behind S, 'that denotes the city named S Prime. Superhuman Prime. That's the first of the secret superhuman cities in the world that is classified to most normal people and a significant portion of the superhumans too.'
'Such-a-place-exists?' Ally's eyes glowed brightly with curiosity.
'I should have known...' Jon said with a sigh, 'most of the underworld works through there because of its non-connection with the outside world. However, I didn't think they would even bother with anything at this level...'
'My-love?'
'Ally.' Jon said, looking towards Ally, 'I want to keep on the investigation of the Red Blob, the superhuman experiments, and the group that lies behind it all. Will you follow me, even to the city of S Prime?'
'You-know-I-will!' Ally said, her hands on her hips angry at the fact that Jon would even ask the question. However, she didn't really realize nor care for the dangerous undertone of what he is saying.
'Ok, I am sure Pethant will be fine too.' Jon said, looking up into a painting on the wall of mankind marching towards the heavens. Perfectly placed symbolism for the next season.
'You-have-a-history-with-S-Prime?' Ally asked.
'And the underworld too.' Jon said, 'perhaps now is the time to stop running from it and face it head-on...'
'Are there gyms and strong people?' Pethant's first question was just as expected.
'Yes.'
'I am in.'
Now that the trio is on the same page, Jon is finally able to enjoy a few more days of peace at the resort with Ally. Their shared activities over the next few days didn't go beyond their normal cuddling, though both parties are happy with what they have, as their passionate first night is all but a sweet memory shared between them.
Then, as the holiday quickly came to a quiet end, the trio returned promptly to S city, when Jon handed in a letter of resignation into the C Institute.
To everyone's surprise, he stepped away from his tier 1 status. Pethant is also hesitant for a moment, but he did the same too.
'The Cameraman's Association forbids any activity and digging into S Prime.' Jon explained, 'so, in order to move freely, we will have to ditch what we have here.'
'But I have just gotten promoted....' Pethant said his teary goodbye with his brand new ID card before leaving the manly tears on the path behind him. The journey he will go on with Jon will be much greater than whatever he will get here, so there is no point dwelling in the past anymore.
With all the responsibilities off their shoulders, the trio stood outside the C Institute to which none of them had any access into and looked far out into the distant landscape of S city.
'Master, what now?'
'Now...we figure out where S Prime is!'
'WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!'
