"Ms. Watson, would you like some coffee? I'll be stopping by at the main café.", Jhon asked as he was about to leave.
"Sure, I'll have some classic.", I replied.
"Okayy!", he said and left the office.
1 month has passed since I solved and finished the Reaper's Case. I told the Chief and Jhon about how I solved everything, but only Jhon knows about my ability of stopping time. Since he's the only person who's able to understand most of the properties of my powers...
And even if I did tell the Chief about my powers and just accept and understand it the way Jhon did, he'd still inform it to the Government. Making it even more dangerous for me...
"Guess I'll take my lunch now..", I said as I closed a file.
I stood up and grabbed my lunch from my bag and put it on my table. I don't necessarily cook for myself, but since I was in a good mood from waking up today. I decided to make extra for lunch.
After putting my lunch box on my table, I scanned my surroundings first.
I was only pretending that I'm about to take my lunch, so that I can continue on what I'm really investigating..
I looked back and walked towards the door that Jhon left open, I checked the hallways and it seems like everyone did go outside for lunch..
"Good.", I muttered to myself as I closed the door and locked it.
"I only have 30 minutes or 45 minutes to continue on this one.", I said as I walked towards a certain whiteboard with a cover.
I flipped up the cover to unravel everything that's behind it. It's been a month since the Reaper Case ended, and it's also been a month since I started to investigate about him even deeper.
On the whiteboard that I just uncovered, had lots of pictures, texts and markings on it.
It's because I'm investigating on Jack again. But this time, I'm digging even deeper to his mystery. Like for example, 'What are Reapers?', 'Does the Underworld really exist?', 'Is there anything beyond human beings?' and lastly, 'What are these mythical beings?'.
Those are my thoughts and what's being pinned and written on the whiteboard..
"If nothing strange happens today, then I'll start doing something strange by tomorrow I guess..", I said.
By strange, I meant it as like discovering new places around the world and meeting new creatures. In that way, I'll be one step closer to learning the truth about everything..
I was in the middle of my thoughts then suddenly someone knocked at my door. And it wasn't just a normal knock, it was a knock with a mass of strength involved.
"WATSON?! MS.WATSON??! PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR!!", someone with a familiar voice shouted from behind the door.
"Jhon..?", I said.
"YES, IT'S ME MS.WATSON! PLEASE OPEN IT UP, HURRY!!"
I rushed towards the door because I could feel the panic from Jhon's voice. And after opening the door, I could see Jhon panting. It looked like he was just running...
"What's wrong Jhon?", I asked.
"Ms. Watson, we have to evacuate now!", he said in panic.
"Wh-What for..?"
"THERE'S A BIG TSUNAMI THAT'S ABOUT TO HIT THE CITY!"
From the words and panic that I can hear and feel from him, I could tell that he's not lying..
So I rushed with Jhon towards to the very rooftop of this department. Everyone was there and were looking towards the direction of where the ocean is.
I got in through the crowd and saw..... The biggest Tsunami that I've seen in my entire life...
"Holy shit....", I said.
"This building is not enough to keep all of us from that thing...", Jhon said as he stood beside me looking at the same scenario that everyone else is seeing.
I started to think of something that could save my fellow workers, and stopping time won't be enough to save all of them at once..
'What should I do....?', I thought.
After going through lots and lots of thinking, I was able to come into a conclusion in a matter of seconds.
"Jhon, stay here.", I said.
"Ms. Watson? What are you—"
Before Jhon could even finish his sentence and before his eyes could even look at me, I stopped time.
After stopping time, I got out from the crowd and started what I had in mind..
"The strength on my legs is enough to jump from building to building, and I only have 5 seconds in total to reach the ocean on this stopped time.. The other seconds will go to looking at the tsunami's size and figuring out a way of stopping it.", I said to myself.
I exerted some strength into my legs and started to run and jump from building to building towards the tsunami's location.
After reaching the ocean in a matter of 4 seconds, I immediately started observing the tsunami's size. And from my perspective, this is definitely not a normal tsunami....
If I were to compare this, it would be the same size as a mountain. But natural disasters can't generate this size of a tsunami, then what could be the cause of this??
"Damn it... Stop thinking about where it came from Watson! Think about how to stop it!", I said to myself.
I started to calculate the scale, size and radius of the tsunami. But.... I was wrong..
Even if I had such a powerful kick that could very much create a crater, I'm not strong enough nor am I big enough to stop this tsunami...
I started to lose hope since I only have 4 seconds left before time flows back to normal..
"Damn it! I can't think of anything else.....!"
Before I even knew it, Time started to flow back to normal again.
"H-Huh?! W-Wait! I wasn't ready yet!"
As I said those words, the tsunami that is a size of a mountain started to go towards the city slowly but surely.
"Damn it all.... I guess trying it won't be a bad idea, I have nothing to lose after all..", I said as I started to run towards the closest building and execute my plan.
And as I was on the middle of my running, I saw a kid that was right in front of the tsunami.
The kid had a white short hair with a little bit of blue on it, and it looks like she was wearing a costume and a... Fork?!
"Kid! What are you doing?! Get out of there!!", I shouted towards the kid but she didn't listen to me.
I started to get closer so that she could hear what I was saying, then all of a sudden she raised her fork and chanted something.
"BY THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY POSEIDON, THIS TSUNAMI SHALL NOT HIT THE CITY!!", she shouted.
"HEY! THIS ISN'T A GAME SO GET OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW!!", I continued shouting but she didn't listen whatsoever.
I started to think that it was hopeless and just execute my plan. But after looking at the tsunami again, I realized that everything was too late.. I wasted my last chance just to shout at a kid...
'Damn it.. So this is it...', I thought to myself.
As the tsunami got closer and was about to hit the city, the kid suddenly started to hold her fork with her two hands and started to face its tip downwards.
"STOP!!!!!!!!!!", she shouted.
'It's useless kid... It's all over.', I thought to myself.
But after the kid shouted that, she started to stab the ground that she was standing on using her fork and suddenly... The tsunami is starting to get repelled by some mysterious force.
"What the....", I said as I was in awe and feeling fear of what I'm seeing.
'What the hell is happening...?', I thought to myself.
I looked at the kid again and it looked like she was struggling as she was stabbing the ground with all of her strength...
That's what I thought at first, but then I remembered Holmes' advice to start thinking in 4 dimensions.
After using his advice again and observed the kid even more, I realized that... She was the one that's stopping the mountain sized tsunami.
With all of her strength, she used her fork... No... That's a trident!
'It can't be...', I thought to myself.
Seconds passed and the kid is still doing her best on holding out the tsunami, then all of a sudden she started shouting.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
After she let out her scream, she raised her fork up and launched it towards the ocean. And as she did that, the mountain sized tsunami.... disappeared, or more like.. it got split in half after she threw her fork.
Then after she threw her fork towards the ocean, she took some breaths and started to jump towards the ocean as well. It also looked like she was chasing where she threw her fork on... No... It looked like she targeting something as she threw her trident, and she followed it to ensure something.
After witnessing such an event... I couldn't help but keep my mouth open.
And I'm sure, the people on this city have the same questions just as I have on my mind now. Like...
"What the hell was that....?"
