Chapter 17 - A new room mate

The image of the stranger is now revealed. 

She was a vision of elegance. with dark blue hair, cascading in waves around her porcelain skin. She had a captivating gaze and a graceful smile. Her eyes were big, adding to her beauty exponentially. 

"Is this your sister" John wispered staring at her in admiration mixed with surprise.

Dickson ignored John and began speaking to her.

"Sis what are you doing here?!" Dickson exclaimed before pulling her out from John's presence.

John stared confusedly trying to put out the reason his ultimate beauty was snatched away from his presence

"what you doing here sis? i thought you were suposed to be on a mission" Dickoson demanded an answer authorittavely.

"What's that? pretty bro isn't happy to see his sister" His sister said jokingly.

"It's no wonder you were called Dickson cause your'e such a dick to your big sister awn" She added childishly.

"That's not it and moreover you are not my elder sister Tasha! you are my---" Dickson's word was interrupted before he could continue.

"Uhm excuse me is there something i should know about here?" John said trying to make sense of their conversation.

"Shut up John!" The two replied in chorus.

"I'll leave you two to it then" John stared away embarassed cause he had just lost all the chances he probably had with her.

"Like brother like sister pfft. Sarah is better anyways" John thought but slowly let out a grin that exposed his thoughts.

"Cover that grin John!" The two once again said in chorus causing the grin on John's face to that of utter most embarassment.

"Let's go talk some where else" Dickson declared as he pulled Tasha out of the training room.

"So mind telling why you're here?" Dickson asked with a smile evident in his face.

Tasha pulled out a lollipop from her pocket and began to slowly lick it

"I see you're not yet over with that cocky attitude of yours but anyways i was unexpectly through with my mission and was dispatched back here to assist you in training John" Tasha said, wobbling the lollipop at the edges of her mouth.

"One thing i hate as a highly intelligent person is baseless rumors. You know what happened the last time you were around…" 

"yeah yeah. Why do you even care so much it's not like you are afraid of calling me your twin sister or anything" Tasha said, curiosly waiting for Dickson's expression.

"You just won't come to the fact that i'm actually your older sister by twenty seconds would you?" Tasha teased.

Dickson ignored her approaches and feigned ignorance,

"Tell head quarters that i won't be needing any help and that i'm ok" Dickson said, attempting to walk away.

"This is an order from the government!" Tasha stressed her words, trying to state the sgnificicane.

Dickson paused in his motion, and without truning back he went back into the training room.

John was lying down flat on the floor.

"So what was that just now?" John asked.

"If their's anything for you to know, it's that she is my twin sister and the rest is none of your…"

"Jeez when did simple conversations start leading to this bro" John commented staring at Dickson akwardly. Silence soon enveloped the room as none of them had  anything to say.

"We should get back to your training John. You still haven't been able to phase through the mannequinn" Dickson did not only break the silence but also John's spirit.

He suddenly remebered that his right  leg was once stuck in the mannequinn and immediately checked out it's condition.

"I thought i had a dream where my right leg was stuck inside that mannequinn over there" John sighed in relief.

"It wasn't a dream" Dickson bluntly said with no regard for John's emotions. John stared at him for a while,

"Oh so it wasn't a dream right? yeah.." He slowly began to loose consciouscness.

"Get up you f*cking b*tch" Dickson threw a resounding slap at John jolting him back to consciousness.

Back at hero academy campus,

Eleen ran to her room and closed the door. No one was present so she had a lot of room space. She went to the corner of the room and bowed her head to it's side while attempting to remove the communication device from her tooth. She did so to avoid the probabilities of hidden cameras.

She moved the communication device down her chin and began to speak,

"Father abort all missions immediately. Hero academy has deployed troops to…"

Back at villains headquarters,

Eleen's voice sounded through the microphone in the room, At some point, her voice began to crack making it evident of a technical fault.

"Troops, abort, immediately. See what you can make of those words computer" Austin (prime leader) requested.

"At your service sir" the robotic vocie of the computer replied.

Back at Dickson's office,

The fact that John had to retry his phasing ability once again brought chills down his spines albeit he had a little bit of courage up his sleeves and he couldn't help but cheer himself up.

I am doing this for my father, mother and sister. John yelled out in serious intent before attempting to dash away.

"Wait wait so you have a sister?" Dickson was puzzled.

"Nope. I just wanted it to sound like we were a complete family of boys and girls" John forced out a smile, speaking hesistantly.

"And don't interrupt my self motivation process ever again" John declared before settling down back to his original pose.

Dickson scoffed at John and rolled his eyes.

"You can do this John. You did it once and you can do it again…" John motivated himself through his inner thoughts.

...1,2,3 Go!

Back at hero academy campus,

"I need you to keep an eye on Eleen. Make sure to inform me about her every move" Sarah commanded.

"Yes, will do" her comanion replied, bowing his head down and leaving.

Eleen placed the communication device back inside her mouth, twisting and snapping it into position. Just as she finished the procedure, a gentle knock sounded through the room.

Eleen went over to receive the door,

"Hi, i am Angel, your new room mate"

Just as Eleen was about to reply, inbox messages began popping up on her status screen, as well as Angel and all the other students.

"I think we have a new mission."
