"So, when will you arrive? Would you like me to send you a car, or will you be running here like usual?" Questioned Emma curiously as she stood up and walked toward the window.
"I'll be there in a minute; also, open up one of those windows in your office." Replied Pharaoh lightly as he didn't wait for Emma to respond and promptly hung up, causing her to frown slightly.
"Well, he is a teenage boy now." Muttered Emma as she set the phone back on her table before walking to a specific window that was much smaller than all the other windows.
Standing up from the toilet, I exited from the bathroom and set the phone back down before standing behind the couch.
"Mom, I'm going to use the bathroom upstairs." Said Pharaoh, his words causing Hana to look at him with furrowed brows.
"Didn't you just lea- ahh, I see; remember what I said, Pharaoh, keep it in moderation." Replied Hana as she slightly widened her eyes and nodded her head, while Pharaoh blushed and winced.
"Ugh, I-I will, Mom." Remarked Pharaoh while blushing, garnering curious looks from everyone else, though before they could question him, he swiftly headed upstairs.
"What were you referring to, Mrs. Kent?" Asked Gwen curiously as she sat beside Jean and watched Pharaoh walk up the stairs, disappearing into the second floor before glancing at Hana.
"Nothing of importance, Gwen, just boy things." Said Hana lightly as she shook her head, leaving both Gwen and Jean unsatisfied while Peter, Elaine, and Sara were in the loop.
"You as well, Peter, just like Pharaoh, keep it in moderation." Added Hana seriously as she eyed Peter, who deeply blushed while Sara smirked in amusement; nonetheless, he still nodded his head.
"I-I understand, M-Mrs. Kent, I-I'll make sure to." Stated Peter while intensely blushing in embarrassment, prompting Hana to nod and Sara to cover her mouth, suppressing her laughter.
"Peter, tell me about this boy stuff later, okay?" Asked Jean quietly as she leaned over Gwen and whispered in Peter's ear, though Elaine's hearing was quite good despite being in her early forties.
"Peter, don't tell her anything, okay?" Stated Elaine seriously as she eyed Jean and Peter, wishing to preserve the purity of her youngest daughter for as long as possible after witnessing Sara and Pharaoh.
"Eh, s-sorry, Jean." Said Peter apologetically before looking toward Elaine with a thankful expression, to which she replied with a nod, while Jean returned to her seat while pouting.
"Hmph, you're no fair, Mom." Muttered Jean as she folded her arms while pouting; although she could've used her telepathic abilities, she would never use them on her friends and family unless required.
"Hehe, I can tell you what you want to know, Jean." Remarked Sara with a smirk, though all that got her was Elaine smacking the back of her head while giving her a certain look.
"Tell Jean a single thing, and I'm grounding you, Sara; just because you're an adult doesn't mean you're exempt from punishments; so long as you live under my roof, everything still applies." Declared Elaine as she eyed Sara, who was rubbing the back of her head in annoyance, but she didn't dare argue back, having already learned the hard way there was no winning.
"Haa, fine, Mom, I won't say anything." Replied Sara lightly, causing Elaine to nod, though before anyone else could respond, a thunderous noise resounded throughout the neighborhood, frightening them all.
"T-Thunder? Isn't it the middle of the day and sunny to boot?" Remarked Gwen in confusion while holding onto Peter, who was still blushing with Gwen, only making it worse.
'Pharaoh. Tut. Tut.' Thought Hana, Jean, and Sara, respectively, though only Sara knew exactly what had happened as she looked at the ceiling.

Flying through the sky, I stayed high above the clouds and headed right for Boston. It only took me a few seconds before I spotted that familiar building where Emma worked, or I should say owned; it was a tall skyscraper, the tallest one in Boston, and the central hub of Frost Technologies.
Heading right toward the building, I spotted Emma casually standing while looking out beside an opened window, which I flew right into, coming to a complete halt once fully inside, though I should've known better, as the air followed right behind me, cracking the window's and messing up her office.
"W-What the!?" Exclaimed Emma with an ugly expression, her body suddenly turning all crystal-like as she lowered her stance, only to sigh in relief when she spotted Pharaoh standing before her.
"Haa, it's only you; I had thought I was being attacked." Remarked Emma lightly as she stood upright while her body returned to normal, only for her to glare at Pharaoh in slight anger.
Seeing Emma glare at me angrily, I looked around her office, observing the damage I'd done, causing me to slightly wince before rubbing my face.
"Sorry, I'll clean it up later, okay?" Replied Pharaoh, though Emma merely raised her eyebrow and folded her arms, causing Pharaoh to sigh.
"A simple sorry isn't going to fix my damaged windows; do you know how expensive it is to fix them? It's at least 6,000 per window, and You've damaged seven. So unless you've got about 42,000 just lying around…" Stated Emma with a frown as she shook her head and tapped on the large window beside her, causing more cracks to form on the glass pane.
"Ugh, fine, I owe you one, how about that? I'm sure that's worth something." Said Pharaoh in frustration as he dismissively waved his hand, while Emma suddenly smiled as if she was never angry in the first place.
"Perfect, that'll be more than enough to cover the cost of my windows and then some." Remarked Emma with a smile, utterly unbothered with her wrecked office while Pharaoh clicked his tongue.
"Alright, can we move on to why I'm here? I don't have all day; my Mom thinks I'm masturbating in the bathroom." Declared Pharaoh with a frown as he repeatedly tapped his foot, unknowingly causing the floor beneath his foot to dent.
"Masturbating? You know, before all this, I was a stripper for a place called the Hellfire Club, so if you're ever in need, I don't mind helping." Said Emma with a slight smile as she pulled down her collar, showing off her cleavage, though Pharaoh wasn't in the mood to appreciate the sight of her two moderate-sized breasts.
"I know you well enough that such a service isn't going to be free, Emma; besides, I've already got a girlfriend. Now, can we get to the reason why I'm here?" Remarked Pharaoh with a frown as he shook his head before eyeing Emma, causing the floor beneath his foot to crack from the intensity of his tapping.
"Hmm, your payment from earlier will also cover that." Muttered Emma while looking at the floor as she fixed her collar and nodded to herself.
"Anyways, follow me; I'll take you to where I locked him up." Added Emma as she elegantly walked past Pharaoh while swaying her hips, something that's become second nature to her after working as a stripper.
Following Emma, we exited her office and walked down the hall, stopping at an elevator, which we promptly entered once the doors opened; after Emma finished pressing several buttons in a specific order, the door shut, and a soft red glow illuminated the elevator. However, after a few seconds of waiting, the elevator suddenly started falling, which caught me by surprise, though that was about it.
"I don't have billions of dollars, but I'm also sure this is unnecessary." Said Pharaoh lightly as he glanced at Emma, tightly holding onto the elevator's railing.
"Hehe, maybe." Replied Emma with a beautiful laugh while looking at Pharaoh's reflection in the mirror in the top right corner.
After a few seconds of falling, I saw Emma's body suddenly transform into its diamond state again, which prompted me to brace for impact since, just as I thought, the elevator suddenly came to an instant halt after falling for probably a hundred or so floors.
"Definitely unnecessary." Muttered Pharaoh lightly while Emma simply smirked and returned to her normal appearance.
Once, the elevator doors opened, revealing an underground compound that wasn't filled with many people despite being large. Following Emma, we walked down a long path, passing by several large rooms of scientists working on what looked like various types of advanced weapons, causing me to frown slightly, but I didn't question it as I always knew this place existed ever since I first met Emma.
"I thought Frost Technologies focused on transportation." Said Pharaoh lightly as he walked past a group of scientists testing a weapon that completely vaporized a human-sized dummy.
"That's our main focus, but with me as acting president, I'm dipping Frost Technologies into other areas; I've got to expand the business somehow." Replied Emma lightly while Pharaoh simply hummed.
"Just know if I happen to see any of these weapons on the streets, even though we're friends, well, if you'd consider me a friend and not just someone useful, I'll throw this building into the sun." Stated Pharaoh seriously as he gave Emma a stern look, to which she responded by dismissively waving her hand.
"Hmph, you're so mean, Pharaoh; of course, we're friends." Said Emma with a slight pout as she looked at Pharaoh, who blankly looked at her.
"Yeah, I hope we are too." Said Pharaoh with a nod while lightly shaking his head and sighing.
