OVERWHELMING.
It's too overwhelming. Just before this meeting, Ram had been an orphan, having crush on a famous celebrity, Emily Roxane. His crush on Sandhya stopped before it even developed further after he discovered that she was engaged to Chandra. He had the Power of Time, but had no control over it. Some aspects of his powers made the Elders uncomfortable.
But now, damn it.
Emily Roxane was not real. It was just an illusion created by his aunt, Ella, to entertain him. She had a device implanted on him since a long time that enabled her to read his mind most of the time.
On the top of that, his parents had been killed while they tried to prevent the Forces of Darkness from kidnapping him.
Her agonizing fear after not finding Ram on her own, involving her father, who was the Previous Elder of Time. Several children who had been kidnapped ended up being dead few days later.
Them approaching scar-faced Nemesis of the Elder and finding about him.
Ram displaying Powers of Time few days after Aunt El started to take care of him, under disguise that only he could discover who she was, by the fact that her right eye was smaller than her left one. In ever single disguise.
And few days later, he displayed using other powers and the Scar-faced nemesis discovering that the children had been kidnapped to experiment whether they can display using of all the existing powers.
The dead children were the ones who didn't react well to the experiment and dying. While Ram survived and could even use all the powers.
Them suspecting that Ram was the only one who was successful. But Ram didn't think so. If that were the case, then how could they let Ram escape so easily from their clutches.
They must have been monitoring him, just like Aunt El had been, probably using some trackers as well as other devices, god known how many of such devices Ram had in his body.
Just few days ago, the Previous Elder of Time fighting with Scar-Faced Nemesis with an intention to kill each other, Aunt El didn't know why.
Aunt El sensing something dangerous was about to come, disguised herself as her father, and appeared in front of her niece, Sandhya, who doesn't know of her existence just because Sandhya's mother didn't like Aunt El's friend ship with Ram's parents. Aunt El manipulating Sandhya so that she could monitor Ram and when the time comes, introduce Ram to The Institute and also train him.
She also wanted Ram to make Sandhya fall in love with him as she didn't trust Chandra, whom she thought might belong to Forces of Darkness.
But Ram messing it up when he Freeze the Flow of Time and kissed her leading to him angering Sandhya and Chandra, thereby his visit to the Justice All, Elders of Faction of Hope and Aunt El risking her exposure to come and help him.
On the top of all of this, the Twins, Nano and Rita, entered a lab under the Justice Hall without alerting anyone, manipulated Ram and implanted a device on their own into Ram.
Ram didn't know whether the Twins were his allies or foe.
He didn't know what their device does.
But he what he did know was that if he didn't find any information about them soon, he would spend his days fretting about it.
But even the heavily connected Aunt El didn't know about the twins.
What should he do now?
He turned to look at Aunt El and she was distracted as hell. She had a faraway look in her eyes, probably communicating with her assistant and that meant it was almost it was time for them to part ways.
He wanted to spend more time with her. He remembered being with her during his childhood. She had been her mother figure, he could remember her more clearly than his parents.
She had lost so much in her life just because of him. And even put her life in danger because of him. She had so many things to worry about him now. If he were to force her to look into the Twins, Ram was afraid that she would break down.
No, he shouldn't disturb Aunt El. At least for the time being.
That left him with only one other person she said he could trust. Her proxy, the fake Female Elder. But Ram was afraid that whatever he was going to speak to her, will ultimately fell into his aunt's ears. He couldn't do that either.
His assistant Em, was angry at him for him, pressuring him to give his consent to change her appearance. Even though seeing her in Emily Roxane's image reminded him of his aunt, he believed that Em chosen it out of her own. She should continue with her.
Moreover, even if he were to ask her help, she couldn't do anything. The Previous Elder of Time had kept her in dark about many things, prevented access to his memories, even after they were transferred to Ram. Aunt El did the same to her as well as The Twins. She was even more vulnerable now.
Ram was on his own this time.
That left with only one option for Ram. The one that he hated the most.
To wait for them.
Ram hated waiting, especially after discovering his past from Aunt El.
The Twins Nano and Rita were an unknown variables in Ram's situation. The device that they implanted in him was more so.
His life was already in danger. He had more things to worry about. If only he could confirm that The Twins were his allies and the device they had implanted inside of Ram was not dangerous, Ram could at least focus on the training that his aunt El had planned for him.
He can't accomplish this by waiting for them to approach him.
He had to find a way to approach them.
But how?
It was then that Ram remembered the Lab where he met them.
That's it! If they were his allies, they must've left some clue for him, that would enable him to feel safe. Or at least, a clue as to how to communicate with them.
He had to find it soon and to do that, he had to convince Sandhya and Chandra to take him over there. But they were under orders to take him to The Institute straight after his meeting with Aunt El.
