Chapter 27 - XXVII

POPPIES

"This place isn't known to anyone and even the organization knows nothing of this place. This place is protected by a barrier that keeps anything out without my permission. This place would be our headquarters and your new training ground as things are out of hand in the meantime and I'm pretty sure that we are being hunted down" Dr. Gissele explained as she lead the way inside what seems to be a house. Good thing that was only a walking distance from where we left off.

"Don't be shy, you'll all be staying inside this facility of mine as long as we'd like" Gissele continued as she let us enter the insides of the house. It wasn't fully furnished at all as it seems to be kept minimal from every furniture up'til the house decors. It was quite spacious even with our number.

We settled down by the living area, not minding where everyone sat and stood. "So what's all of this again? It's like the whole new island to the city thing all over again?" Marille began that made me unnecessarily chuckle from her resort. "Wait, what's all this about islands and cities?" Ambrose asked. Gissele first asked the guard to get her some coffee before answering what Marille had asked and not minding what Ambrose said. "I get what you're implying my dear but, for now...we actually have no other choice. I had just discovered something before coming here and even before the incident during your school's event but I guess we'll further discuss the details tomorrow since all of you are probably tired and hungry so of course, who am I to take away your time to rest right? now carry on, look for your rooms, I had prepared some adjustments just for all of you before coming here" she said as we all head upstairs and look for our rooms and saw that there were pairings for each rooms.

"Looks like we're room mates from now on?" Haily said before opening the door leading to the room that had our names indicated above the door. We both entered and let the others look for theirs. The room was still spacious for the two of us occupying the room. The room had three shades of gray but I'm only familiar with the repose gray while the other two were lighter and darker. It pretty much clicks to our styles.

The room had a double decked bed and a mini book shelf. It was furnished with the necessities which I quite liked. We roamed the room but I stopped my tracks when I stood in front of another door. "What's this?" I asked myself as I opened it to see a full black suit. "Cool, it looks like the ones we see in those spy movies!" Haily exclaimed upon seeing what's inside this closet. There are other clothes but the two were really at the center and there are even boots.

"Liked my presents? Why don't you try them out before coming back down for dinner, and don't bother to cover up those markings, it's just us anyways" We turned to face where the sound came from that came from the corner of the ceiling. "She didn't put up some cameras right?" Haily asked with an uncomfortable tone. "I just shook my head and grabbed my suit that has my name indicated on the rack. "I'll go change first" I said before going to the bathroom wash up and change into this set of clothes.

It took quite some time before I went out of the bathroom wearing my attire. "Woah, you look so badass! I wanna try mine already" Haily rushed inside the bathroom that made me chuckle. She seems to be in a good mood now. I walked to the scandinavian table that had a mirror on the wall. I brushed my hair and dried it afterwards. I was almost done fixing myself when Haily came out of the bathroom. "No kidding" I commented on her look. "I told you we look like those spies in the movies" She said excitedly before rushing to my side to fix herself up.

We decided to head down when Haily was done. Haily tied her hair in a pony tail while I just let my hair down. She was really into her attire. We arrived at the dining hall and only Gissele was in the room with us. "I really did a great job picking those design for all of you" She praised herslef. We thanked her that she gladly accepted and soon enough, the rest joined us at the table and food was served. "Meet me outside after you digest what you ate, I want to test something out" Gissele stated before standing up and disappeared somewhere.

"I didn't know that you guys were into tattoos? I mean it looks good on you but does everyone have them?" Ambrose broke the silence. "Well, we all got'em when our abilities awakened" Hypo said after drinking a cup of cold water. "Oh, like those in the comics I've been reading? cool!" Ambrose replied with eyes tinted with excitement. "I guess, but it was really painful, I thought I'd die from it!" Danny joked that made the room silent. "Wait, did she mentioned something wrong?"

"We can't talk about it right now, maybe on another day" I said before standing up from my seat and leaving them there.

"Calm down, you know she din't mean anything else" I talked to myself as I walked outside the house to see Gissele sitting on a bench. "I suppose the alpha wants to see what I'm about to do?" She began as I stood beside her while looking at the dark surrounding. "I'm no alpha" I firmly said. "Oh really? I thought that was what you've been playing this whole time?" She mockingly said to me that made me turn my head to her. "Whatever you're trying to do, don't step out of line" I warned her. "Honey, I know you know it yourself, you see yourself as the leader in your group, always taking command but I wonder what your comrades think of?" She replied that made me form a fist. "Huh, when agitated, your markings emit a dim glow, fascinating" She commented that I disregarded and walked away from her.

"They're my friends and not just some comrades for battles"
