After the dinner made by Carmen's mother, which consisted of a delicious lasagne, a normal looking salad and some beverages she bought for this dinner. Carmen, after she has eaten the entire salad, she is looking on the lasagne.
"You sure don't want to eat a slice?" asks Al.
"Don't feel like it." says Carmen to Al.
Al and Carmen's mother, are both looking at each other, surprised by her reaction, then the Vewolf doll, who was sitting on the fourth chair, munching on a salad leaf, he assures them about Carmen's behaviour.
"I can assure you, this is something normal to human body when they get infected by our gene's kind."
"I already had time to adjust." responds Carmen to Vewolf doll, and to her two family members. "About a few months ago."
"Really?" asks Carmen's mother. "Now you can go on diet?"
"Looks like it." says Al.
"Which means I can move faster on combat."
"And be easily knocked out." says Al. "What do you think I'm still fat? I can go on diet, but I can risk losing my resistance."
"So, you would rather have resistance, but you get easily hit, tired and stumble easily." says the Vewolf doll.
"You're lucky you are a doll and an Individual who's on the extinct species list." says Al after a few seconds with a smirk
"Alright." says Carmen's Mother. "Before we try to kill each other, how about we discuss something else."
"Like what?" asks Carmen who almost finished her salad.
"Your first mission." says Carmen's mother. "I've never heard talking about your first mission. How was it like?"
"My first mission… It consisted into catching aliens on the Brighton Music Hall."
"She can't remember much about the fight." intervene the Vewolf doll. "I've taken her body control to fight those three aliens from a Pluto planet I think."
"Pluto56B I think it was the name." says Carmen. "Navylian told me the aliens have been taken by the said planet justice system and they have been incarcerated for a lifetime of them."
"Nice." says Al.
"You've had it better than us." says Carmen's mother. "My first mission was fighting a mummy in London museum. By myself. I can home wound and I had to spend half of my salary in potions that can cure all of my wounds."
"That much?" asks Carmen's surprised.
"Not everyone can heal their wounds like you." says Vewolf doll. "If it wasn't for my Vewolf regeneration abilities and heal abilities you would be already in a wheelchair."
"True, true." admits Carmen. "Without your regeneration health I could be nothing. But I don't even fully know what abilities I have."
"Changing subjects, I see." says Al. "Anyway, my first mission was chasing a living banana from Second Dimension and losing it by mistake in a zoo cage in Seinfeld."
"How do you not know your abilities, Carmen?" asks her mother.
"I was busy, mom." says Carmen. "I had school, patrol duty and hunting."
"And you did not ask me." says Vewolf doll.
"Then, what are the abilities?" asks Carmen sounding pissed.
"Alright. There is morphing form, you know, transforming your arm into my limb kind. You've showed it earlier with brass knuckles." says the Vewolf doll looking at Carmen, and he continues after a few seconds. "Nail shooting. An ability I rarely use in my form. But is an effective one, if you eat properly. But this ability is really dangerous cause if you use it when you are hungry, you will certainly collapse and run out of energy."
"Hm…" says Carmen looking at her hands, and at her nails. "They can regenerate though?"
"Yes. But it will take hours for a complete regeneration to original form. That is why I prefer using combat attack. And the regeneration, the thing I've told you. It is the most important ability set I have. With this one I can heal myself and anyone else."
"You can heal anyone?" asks Al surprised.
"Yes. I can heal them, by a drop of my saliva or blood applied to their wounds. Think of a limb cutting. Like arm cut. I can re-attach it, if the limb hasn't been got completely." he takes a pause of three seconds. "Once I had a buddy… Who has been stabbed forty times on the chest area… He was on the brink of dying. And I… I gave a bit of my blood, and saved it." he then feels sad as he said this.
"What happened to him?" asks Carmen curios.
"He tricked our kind. He tried to destroy it and use it for his own good." he takes a pause to eat a slice of carrot from the salad bowl, eh then continues talking. "Thankfully that "buddy" of mine. It is gone forever. And with him, a huge part of the knowledge of Vewolves."
"What do you mean by this?" asks Al. "With is death, a huge part of Vewolf knowledge died?"
"I cannot tell you this." says Vewolf doll. "It is for my kind good."
"Alright…" says Al who decided to not go further and ask about this sensible question.
"And there's more?" asks Carmen.
"More? Abilities? Apart from fast speed, photographic memories and combat strength, this is it."
"A bit too much power in the hands of a teenager." says Carmen's mother.
"Too much in the hands of a hunter." says Al. "Most of the hunters semi and half humans, posses more abilities, that presents a big disadvantage to them rather than an advantage. The hunters who can do more than his team he joined, are often seen as easy target by Individuals and aliens."
"Really?"
"Navylian, is a strong wizard, but he is still a human."
"And my team has some good hunters. A ghost, an invisible man, a vampire and a teenager like me."
"They and you are strong, I give you that." says Al to her nephew. "But I have to tell you something. No matter if a human, half-human or semi-human, they are still humans. Like in my case."
"What are you?" asks Vewolf doll curios. "You haven't told us what are you."
"What I am?" asks Al. "I am something who has cheated Death. More times than I could count."
"He is a well-trained hunter." says Carmen's mother.
"Can you train me one day?" asks Carmen after a minute of giving some thought to this question. "When you'll have some free time?"
"Sure." says Al in a second. "But at the moment, I am busy in this region owned by your Team."
"I see." says Carmen.
"Well then." says carmen's mother raising from her table and preparing to clean it. "How about you," she looks at Carmen. "Help me clean the table, while your uncle is preparing for his leaving."
"You're leaving already?" asks Carmen raising from the table and taking the dishes, then hands a slice of tomato from that salad to Vewolf Doll too much of it.
"I should be going." says Al looking on his watch, getting up from the chair, and walking to the couch where he left his raincoat and things he carried here.
While the girls were busy with putting the dishes in the sink, Al was putting his raincoat, taken the two pair of gloves on the hands, and taken his briefcase. Before he left, he goes to the kitchen, says his goodbyes to the last family members alive and gets going to do his duties. But before he was about to leave, he hands Carmen a piece of paper, on that piece of paper it is written a number.
"Dial that number on the special phone… Your base should have a said phone placed on the living room that is used by hunters in case badges don't work."
"I'll see."
"Good. You dial me and ask me questions of things you don't understand or need some training."
"I will, Al."
Al just gave a smile and nod to Carmen, then he bids farewell to his sister and nephew, leaving them alone in this house, telling them maybe in the morning he will come by to have a coffee or tea. He managed to book a room in the hotel carmen's mother works. That is one of the reasons he came here, to talk to a person who works in that said hotel to book a free room.
