Chereads / Electra City / Chapter 13 - Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 13 - Chapter Thirteen

"Jackson, this is Electra, my new friend from work. Electra, my little brother Jackson.. Jackson, can you go sleep earlier today for your big sis, please?"

"Yes, sis... Good night Madame Electra."

"Cute. I wanna r--No, he's just cute. So, Karin, where is the food?"

"Take a seat... I made a lasagna today."

"...I want slmething else. Get rid of that lasagna.....Joking. I love lasagna. I used to make good ones in the past."

"You stopped?"

"Much obliged. My almost lover was Mind."

Dang! I misread the atmosphere. I shouldn't have mentioned about Mind. Well, I just need to make sure she's comfortable and let my brother enough time to run away from here.

"Warn him that if he takes a step out of his house, I'll murder him."

She read my thoughts.. Is that her power? Then, I have a chance with my 'boost' ability.

"Please, I killed enough people today. Don't let the list expand itself."

"Jackson, Come Back!! Time to eat..."

"Thanks for the food, then.."

"Can we discuss on a few things...?"

"Of course. Go on!"

"Can you tell me about Mind..I mean, Tanasha Jressa?"

"...What I knew isn't relevant. I thought I knew her, but, I didn't. She's someone I could never understand. And someone I don't want to understand anymore. Does my answer satisfy your curiosity?"

"I have one last question. Are you a hero or a villain?"

"Neither. I'll be too busy the next two years. I have preparations to do."

"I see. Okay, thanks for your answer."

"Cool."

At that time, I couldn't have known her power. I didn't ask my brother to flee, but to send an alert. I was worried she would read my mind. That's why I lied. And my lie caused the Massacre known today as, Electra's Frenezy....

"I warned you."

"If we must die to save other lives, I'll gladly do it. I'm A HERO."

"Pointless against me. No matter how many, it is just pointless. I reached the top already a few hours ago.."

"Wha---"

"Fall Of Mars...."

Suddenly, I heard multiple squirt sounds.. As if something was crushed. When I looked out, endless spots of blood splatter all around my house. It had ended. The fight didn't even start and it already ended.

"Heroes giving their life for others. I understand. I was once ready to give my life for someone too. But, ideal such like happiness is a fraud in itself. It won't save lives from absolute subjugation. I hope this time, you learnt your lesson. Next time, it will be Down City.."

"I get it!! Don't kill anymore."

That girl that I thought was weak was in reality very strong. So strong, she faced alone the Hero Agency...
