Natasha and Muna both bore their gaze into each other, as though they were in a staring competition.
The pressure radiating from the two girls was gradually affecting young Aella as she gasped for breath.
Seeing the situation one more time, Ruby grabbed Aella's shoulder and teleported away.
' she can't be here I'll keep her in my private founding.'
With these thoughts, Ruby appeared back in the hallway.
"Ladies, what's up with the tense atmosphere?"
Although he asked this, he knew his two women knew each other. It wouldn't take someone with two IQs to figure that out.
Heading Ruby's words, the radiation suddenly plummeted and it felt as if everyone could breathe once more.
'Javi, you're really messing with my mind, huh?'
If the system was a human, Ruby would have tortured him until he spill all the crap it had been hiding from him.
what's all this crap??
"I assume you two already know each other, so need for any formal greetings?"
"Yes, we do!" They both said as they paced toward each and shook his other hands in a feral grip that made shattering bones reverberate throughout the hall.
Natasha leaned closer to Muna's ears and whispered, "don't play any stupid game. if you want the war to stop then don't."
She pulled herself back and flashed a tiny smile as though they were besties.
'I think it would be hard to manage all these girls, unlike those harem novels.'
A bit of time later, Ruby suddenly said, "Ladies why don't we go have dinner?"
Ruby was trying to alleviate the moods of the girls. He knew he had to do something about their behavior toward each other. Hence, he made a plan in his head to make them get along with each other.
Sometime later, they were all seated in long dining inside the screen room of the cave.
Ruby, naturally, sat at the largest seat while Natasha sat to his right, clinging to his hands. Megan sat at his left side, sending a flurry of daggers to Natasha.
Muna sat with little Aella at the other end of the dining. However, her gaze was fixed on Natasha.
'This bitch.'
These were the thoughts of both Megan and Muna.
An eerie silence plunged the hall as everyone did their things.
Ruby was planning on how he'd make all these girls get along. This was the first time he had a headache thinking of what he'd do. In the past, he only dated one girl at a time and the rest were just his banging buddies.
However, things have changed, and it seems like he'd finally settled down with the harem of his dreams.
Some awkward moments later, little Aella suddenly said, "I don't like it here!"
She drew strange stares from everyone as they all averted their gaze from her. Aella inwardly blames herself for speaking up and thought these people would treat her the same way those supes did.
Contrary to her expectations, Ruby said, "It's Ok, Aella. I've already made plans for you to stay in a much more lively place."
The cave was a bit boring--- to begin with—and for a kid—so Ruby understood what she might be feeling!
Really! You'd do that?" The zing of her excitement was noticeable in her voice.
Ruby exhibited a small smile at her cute reaction. "Yes!"
Unconsciously, Ruby caught a glimpse of his sister's face on the little girl!
He hated this feeling for some reason because the heroes might one day use this leverage on him. Thus, Ruby placed it in his agender to stop these stupid feelings!
Little Aella started gobbling her grilled chicken wings sprinkled with a bit of veggie. The aroma alone made her stomach grumble.
It's been a long time since she had this kind of meal. If she could remember well, it was Christmas eve before her parents died.
Aella shoved all these thoughts to the back of her head as she continued to gobble the food widely.
Standing up, Ruby was planning to be alone for some time since he needed a bit of quiet time for himself.
He was expecting Natasha to still stick to him like bubble gum. However, she didn't and only watched his back as he gradually faded from her view.
'He wants to be alone, so I should let him be even though it pains me.' Natasha thought.
It was one of the abilities of lust demoness to know and feel what their partners felt, so Natasha had this feeling as a demoness herself.
With more knowledge and as their love reach leaps, it would reach a point where she would be able to know what her partner was thinking.
With these thoughts lingering in her mind, Natasha averted her gaze to the two women that seemed like they would jump on her any time from now.
"For starters, human girl, do you know how old I am?" Natasha asked with a gaze brimming with superiority.
"I dunno and I don't give a fuck!" Megan replied as she crossed her legs and glared at Natasha.
'You're so lucky human that my hubby has feelings for you.'
This was where the flaw with lust demoness came. If their partners have multiple partners, they'd also develop feelings for the partners as well.
Natasha was trying to avoid all those feelings because she wanted Ruby for herself alone.
"I'm gonna go outside for a bit wanna join me?" Megan turned to Little Aella.
"No, I'll wait for big bro Ruby."
"Ouch! That hurts." Megan clutched her chest as though she had just received stinging bullets.
"Aella, I'm very close to Ruby. In fact, I'm his fiance. You could even say I'm his wife."
"Hmmm!" Natasha abruptly cleared her throat as she heard that last part.
"So you wanna go out with me?" Megan asked one last time as she flashed a tiny smile.
For some reason, that smile made Aella change her mind. "Ok."

In another part of the cave, electric sparks blazed as box shapes flared open and a plain milky mask popped out of it.
Ruby grabbed the soft mask as he brought it to his face and adorned it. Immediately he donned the mask, his cheekbones protruding out as his eyes sunken with dark bangles beneath it and his hair turned white, then his sharp nose crooked downward.
'Now it would be hard for anyone to recognize me.'
`Ok, time for some clothes."
Ruby strode to the other side of the cave to the closet. His hands rummage through the closet before he finally sees a rusty worn out cloth.
This cloth would compliment his frail-looking face and would give the impression that he was poor.
After Donning the baggy black-sleeved shirt and trousers he strode out of the room and reached the screen room. However, Aella was nowhere to be seen only Natasha who was sipping red wine.
"Hon, where are they?" Ruby said as he glanced at Natasha.
"she went out with…what's her name again? Yes, Megan."
"Wait! How did you know it was me?" Ruby initially thought it would be hard for someone to recognize him.
"That's a secret."
"Secret, huh? But do you mind telling me?"
"OK, since you insist I have a connection with you."
"That makes sense."
Ruby said this because he could feel the connection with his minions as well.
He only had connections with Muna and Big bang, but now he could feel a third connection.
After his brief conversation with Natasha, he scrambles out to go searching for Aella.
______________
Location: outer city…
Ruby–in his frail-looking appearance– boarded a train with Aella, who was also dressed in similar clothes.
The duo didn't draw any attention to themselves as they went straight to the extreme of the train and sat down.
At first, Aella had asked why they were dressed like this. Ruby told her it was a disguise so that they would be able to avoid the big supes.
She didn't ask any more questions again because there was now a tiny pulsing flame of hatred brimming in her tiny heart.
Of course, Ruby noticed this, and he couldn't wait to see the monster she would become in the future.
A bit of time passed before the train stopped with a boisterous screech sound. Ruby and Aella hopped out of the train.
Ruby first scanned his surroundings for any supes before strolling into a white square-shaped building with an "orphanage" engraved into the wall.
After entering the orphanage, Ruby paced straight to the counter and slid a black skull card to the mature woman on the counter.
The woman slid the card back in a coded manner as she got up and led Ruby and Aella through a set of glass doors before arriving at a vast room filled with several other supervillains in the making.
