"How do you know about powers?" He asked while scanning me. He relaxed on his chair. His face rest on his right hand and his left hand was on arm rest. He was trying to read my mind.
"As expected, I can't read your mind. Even after so many years, I can't peek into your mind."
I blinked twice.
"Well, I sensed the power myself. And I am not surprised because I know you are power wielder yourself and so were my mom and dad. Can you tell me in detail about it?" I asked.
"Mhm. I suppose someone is waiting for you outside. He looks anxious." He said while looking outside. I looked at the direction he was looking.
"He is my bro-"
"Shawn Adams, famous cardiologist, and only son of Mr. And Mrs. Adam's." He interrupted me.
"Can you meet him and make him believe that you are harmless? Brother Shawn and big bro Kyle are worried about me meeting you. Since you have very dangerous reputation, they couldn't stop worrying. And right now, I don't want to disclose that my parents are alive. So, will you please make brother Shawn believe that you are harmless?" I requested him with sincerity.
"Are you scared of me?" He asked.
"No"
"I am dangerous mafia. I can kill anyone. Everyone is scared of me. What makes you different?" He asked coldly.
"I know you, that makes the difference. I know your hidden personality. You are kind and gentle. But you don't show it. Indeed, you are cold and ruthless to enemies but for your loved ones, you are their protective shield" I said.
During apocalypse in past, Black was on top tier. He would kill those creatures swiftly. He protected his friends from many attacks even if his life was on stake. We met before my death. He looked at me with concern when he found me in abandoned house. He gave me supplies but I was so ashamed of myself that I left without telling him anything. Ashamed of misunderstanding him.
"You don't know me." He said in daze.
"I know your name." I got up from my seat and whispered in ears.
"You are Eric Williams, the only heir of Williams corp. The mysterious CEO, that only appears in masked form in important occasions." I sat back on my seat and continued, "Now you use Black as your name in mafia world and business world. You are mysterious."
His face showed emotions. It was amusing but I hold my composure.
"Now please, can you make brother Shawn believe?"
"Mhm. We will discuss later." He woke up and started walking with me towards brother Shawn. We came out of cafe. Brother Shawn looked at me. He was worried.
"Lil sis, are you okay?" He asked me immediately.
"Yes. As I told you, black is not harmful." I said hurriedly.
He looked at black.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Black." Brother Shawn said with stressed voice. He was worried and stressed about me being with him.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Shawn." Black greeted. He hold my hand. His sudden touch caught me off guard.
"Don't worry of your little sister, she is important person to me and I guarantee no one would dare to harm her, including me. And if someone did, I will deal with them."
"Okay" Brother Shawn was speechless. He looked at black holding my hand.
"I know but your reputation is quite dangerous. I can't help but be worried about my little sister. I can't leave her alone, I hope you understand my concern." Brother Shawn said politely.
"Mhm... I understand. My assistant will inform you our location every half hour. He will also send you live video of few seconds for proof, if you want you can even call her in between. We have more important things to discuss and once we are done with it you can pick her up. Don't worry about her safety. She is safe with me." He said while pulling me close to him. I looked at him.
Why is he pulling me close to him? His arm was around my waist. He looked at me. His eyes held warmth. The same warm eyes I saw in my previous life. I looked at brother Shawn,
"Brother Shawn, don't worry. Trust me." I said
"Okay Luna. But I hope Mr.Black keeps his words and informs me about my lil sister's location and also the live video call for few minutes." Brother Shawn said.
"Sure."
Brother Shawn hugged me and whispered, "If you sense danger than run towards east direction for 5 minutes. I will be waiting for you there."
I was touched by his words, his concern. I nodded. He left. Black looked at me.
"Your brother really cares about you. He is waiting for you in East direction. Very impressive."
"Stop reading his mind. Can we talk further things. I have other important works to do." I said.
"Like?"
"I will tell you everything. Let's go in." I said calmly.
*******
Luna and black sat opposite of each other. Black ordered snacks and mango juice for both of them. Then he asked Luna to start with the conversation.
"At right time, I will tell you how I know about you. But for now, you need to tell me about power stuff in detail."
"Power wielder exist from ancient times. In ancient era, many people had powers and those who were able to wield powers were strongest being but as humans started transitioning to modern world with technology, the belief in power wielders reduced. Those who had powers, started hiding their powers as no one likes to be experimented upon. There are many crazy scientists in past and even in present, who knows about people like us and they want to find source behind our powers. They try to catch us and try to experiment upon us. There are some power wielders who work for them for various benefits.
I was 4 and half year old when they attacked my residence. Some power wielders invaded our house and killed my parents. My parents were normal humans with no idea about all this stuff. They were gonna take me with them but your parents stepped in and Saved me."
"My parents saved you? But how did they knew that you were being attacked?" I asked.
