"What about now?" he heard the kid say "Are you scared?" 935 looked up at the man, his green eyes practically glowed.
The man's heartbeat quickened at the sight of his eyes, instinctively he took a step back, air seemed to have frozen in his longs, his ears seemed to have caved in on itself as the world around him suddenly fell silent.
The only sound he could hear was his own heartbeat, even in the cold he could feel beads of sweat forming on his face.
"Th-this... this c-c-can't be happening" the man stuttered and ran inside his house. The moment he stepped in he locked the door, he leaned against the door checking if he'd hear 935 footsteps approaching the house.
After a while he didn't hear anything, "I'm probably just seeing things" the man said with a sigh and turned away from the door, the moment his turned what he saw almost made his soul exit his body.
935 sat on a chair watching him, with a picture frame in his hand. 935 looked at him with the smile a predator uses to look at a prey it had trapped in a corner.
The man's legs felt weak and with a thud his knees kissed the grown, 935 watched as he took a bowing position and began muttering something.
"Who's Mary?" 935 asked, "She was be really strong for you to be praying she comes to your aid" He heard 935 say. The man refused to answer and went from 'Hail Mary' to 'Our Father'
"Come here" he heard 935 say in a stern tone "Don't make me say it twice" 935 added and glared at him.
The man swiftly crawled to 935 like a servant begging his master to take him back.
"Sit" the man assumed a sitting position on the floor "Chair!" 935 said and the man quickly sat uncomfortably on the chair across 935.
935 brought out his phone and showed him a sketched picture that looked exactly like the one 935 held in his hand but in black and white
"If i remember correctly, you go by Tobi Andrews right?" 935 asked and pulled back the phone. "These are your two beautiful little girls right here" 935 explained the picture "and the woman by your side is your lovely wife" 935 looked at him with a sinister smile "Catherine"
Tobi swallowed hard as he felt his very being quiver underneath 935's gaze.
*****
935's gaze moved from Tobi to his shaky hand holding the picture. 935 took the picture from him and stared at it. "Those are my two beautiful little girls right there" Tobi explain, "and the woman beside me is my lovely wife, Catherine" he added as he swallowed hard.
935 gave him a skeptic look "Please, I don't want any of this. My wife is pregnant, if you wanna break my legs sure, just please let me go back to my family." Tobi pleaded.
*****
Tobi immediately remembered how his life had been spared that day, why he didn't know but after that day he moved to a new city with his family and cleaned every trace he had that could link him to the lab.
As he looked at 935 who sat across him the only reason he could think the boy was here was to finish the job he didn't all those years.
"Your wife and kids are not home?" 935 asked and placed the framed photo on the table. Tobi nodded in affirmation.
935 nodded and walked over to Tobi, Tobi froze up as 935 stood before him and fished a phone out of his pocket. "Keep this on and with you" 935 said and placed the phone Lily gave him when they were still living in the countryside on Tobi's thigh "Don't lose it" he warned and Tobi nodded.
935 put on his contact lenses and headed for the door.
"935" he heard Tobi call out to him and he stopped and faced Tobi "You are not here to kill me?" Tobi asked.
935 looked at him and opened the door without even touching it, "My name is Kai" 935 said and walked out without closing the door.
The moment 935 was out of view a wave of relief washed over Tobi's body, he held his chest as he tried to steady his still racing heart.
.....
Shen looked everywhere for 935, he was about to call Lily when he heard a voice behind him "Where's my taco?" he turned to see 935 standing behind him.
"Nǐ zài nǎlǐ?" Shen quickly asked his whereabouts, his voice laced with concern.
935 shrugged and walked past him and headed to the car "Wǒ gēnzhe yī zhī māo mílù le." he lied saying he got lost after following a cat.
Shen followed after him. They got into the car and was surprised to see a taco neatly wrapped on the backseat. He picked it up and ate quietly, while Shen drove back.
When they reached the house 935 greeted Shen goodnight and went straight to his room. Shen ensured the house was locked and secured before leaving for the night.
*Drop*
A drop of blood fell into the sink, Kai looked at his reflection on the mirror and blood flowed from his nose. He turned on the tap and rinsed the blood from his face.
He thought about a reason for the sudden nosebleed, from what he could remember, it only ever happened when he overused his abilities. It had been years since he used his abilities and only used them when he met Tobi, could he be getting rusty? He thought to himself as he looked at the mirror.
.....
Meanwhile Tobi stared at the chair 935 had sat on, he noticed something white sticking out of the chair cushion, he quickly pulled it out. It was a neatly folded paper, he slowly unfolded it to see a sketched photo of him and his family.
"Honey are you okay?" his wife Catherine asked from behind him as he felt an arm on his shoulder. Tobi quickly shoved the paper inside his front pocket and turned around with a smile.
In front of him was Catherine, his two daughters stood beside their mother while she carried their third daughter on her back, she was fast asleep.
"Baby!" he asked and hugged her before he snuggled the kids, "When did you get home?" he asked deviating the question with a big smile.
"Did something happen?" Catherine asked "You looked like you were on some sort of trance like you saw a ghost or something"
Tobi chuckled "Oh i wish it really was a ghost" he muttered to himself "It's nothing babe" he assured "Now how was the movie?" he asked.
The girls immediately started chattering about the fun day they had to Tobi while Catherine went to but the little one to bed.
