"the name of that organization is umbra isn't it, they're the pinnacle" Zayn said.
"Is that true?" Ross asked.
Erebus's expression turned grave, his voice barely above a whisper. "Yes, it's true. Umbra is the organization, and they're more powerful than you can imagine. They're the ones who funded my research, who pushed me to create the perfect soldier."
Moselia's eyes narrowed, her voice cold. "And they're the ones who want to control me."
Erebus nodded. "Yes, Mosi. They'll stop at nothing to exploit your abilities, to use you for their own gain. But we won't let that happen. We'll fight back, together."
Ross's face set in a determined expression. "We're in this together, Mosi. We won't let them take you away from us."
Zayn's eyes flashed with anger. "Umbra's going down. We'll make sure of it."
Erebus's gaze swept across the group, a small smile on his face. "Together, we can do this. We can take down Umbra and secure Mosi's freedom."
"can you explain more about this experiment you did on me, Dr. Samir said something about having a bird gene, cat and something else, he also made something about one major one he can't say, tell me what's that" she asked.
Erebus hesitated, collecting his thoughts before speaking. "Mosi, the experiment involved combining human DNA with genetic material from various species to enhance your abilities. The bird gene, specifically from the Avian was used to enhance your vision and agility. The cat gene, from the domestic cat, was used to enhance your reflexes and flexibility."
He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "The third gene, from the electric eel, was used to enhance your neurological abilities, allowing you to interface with technology and control energy."
Moselia's eyes widened, her voice barely above a whisper. "And the major one, Dr. Samir couldn't say...?"
Erebus's expression turned solemn. "The major one, Mosi, is the gene from the Phoenix. It's the key to your regeneration, your healing abilities, and your... resurrection."
Moselia's eyes sparkled with confusion. "Resurrection? What do you mean?"
Erebus's voice dropped to a whisper. "You, Mosi, are virtually unkillable. The Phoenix gene allows you to regenerate from even the most fatal injuries, to come back to life."
Everyone gasped immediately...
"Where did you get a phoenix from?" Zayn asked
Erebus's eyes clouded, his voice laced with a mix of awe and reverence. "The Phoenix... it's a creature of legend, of myth. But I found it, Mosi. I found the last one, deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. It was ancient, wise, and powerful. And it gave me its gift, willingly."
Ross's eyes widened in disbelief. "You mean, it just let you take its DNA?"
Erebus nodded, his expression solemn. "Yes. The Phoenix knew its time was ending, and it wanted to leave a legacy. It chose me, Mosi, to be the guardian of its power. And I used that power to create you."
Moselia's voice was barely above a whisper. "I'm a part of a legend... a myth."
Erebus's eyes locked onto hers, his voice filled with conviction. "You're not just a part of it, Mosi. You're the continuation of it. The Phoenix lives on through you."
Moselia's eyes shone with a mix of emotions, her voice trembling. "I... I don't know what to say. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this."
Erebus's expression softened, his voice gentle. "You don't have to say anything, Mosi. Just know that you are more than just a creation. You are a symbol of hope, of rebirth. And I will do everything in my power to protect you, to help you master your abilities, and to keep you safe from those who would seek to harm you."
Zayn stepped forward, his eyes shining with determination. "We'll protect her, Erebus. We won't let anyone hurt her."
Ross nodded in agreement. "We're in this together, Mosi. Always."
Moselia's gaze swept across the group, her heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you... thank you all. I don't know what I would do without you."
Erebus smiled, his eyes warm. "You'll never have to find out, Mosi. We're family now."
She glared at Erebus.
"I'm still mad at you, you know" she frowned.
"I'm tired, famished and dirty, before any other thing, van I at least have a drink of water?"Erebus chuckled, relief washing over his face. "Of course, Mosi. I'm sorry, I forgot about your basic needs. Let's get you taken care of."
He gestured to a nearby door, and Ross hurried to open it, revealing a small living quarters. "There's a shower, food, and water in there. Take your time, Mosi. We'll wait."
Moselia nodded, her expression softening slightly as she headed towards the quarters. "Thanks... I guess."
As she disappeared from view, Erebus let out a sigh, his eyes closing in relief. "I'm glad that's over. For now, at least."
Zayn clapped him on the back. "You did good, Erebus. She's angry, but she's also curious. And she's got spirit."
Erebus smiled wryly. "I'm glad someone thinks so. I'm just trying to make things right."
Ross nodded in agreement. "We'll get through this, together."
Erebus smiled at Ross as others left, then he looked at Ross.
"You know, you'd never find out of you don't tell her, I mean about how you feel about her, I can see it all over when you look at her" he told him
Ross's face turned bright red as he looked away, trying to hide his emotions. "Erebus, I... I don't know what you're talking about."
Erebus chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Don't play dumb, Ross. I've seen the way you look at Mosi, the way you care for her. You have feelings for her, don't you?"
Ross sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. "Okay, fine. Yes, I do. But I don't know how to tell her. I'm afraid of ruining our friendship, of losing her trust."
Erebus placed a hand on Ross's shoulder, his expression serious. "Ross, you have to take the chance. Mosi cares about you deeply, and I think she might feel the same way. But you'll never know if you don't tell her."
Ross looked up, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "You really think so?"
Erebus nodded. "I do. And I'll be here to support you, no matter what happens."
"but she's in love with Zayn, they have also been... Intimate" he struggled to say.
"I've seen the both of them, she smile the brightest when she's around him, and I don't want to see her lose that for whatever selfish reason I might have, besides Zayn loves her so much, he adores her, I think I'm not suitable for her"
"I just want to be by her side"
He looks down solemnly but with determination
Erebus's expression turned compassionate, his voice gentle. "Ross, you're not selfish for having feelings for Mosi. And it's understandable that you'd want to prioritize her happiness. But don't assume she can't feel the same way about you. Maybe she has feelings for you too, but hasn't realized it yet."
He paused, his eyes locked on Ross's. "And as for Zayn, yes, he loves her deeply, but that doesn't mean Mosi can't love you too. Love isn't a competition, Ross. It's not a zero sum game. Mosi's heart is capable of loving multiple people, in different ways."
Ross looked up, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Really?"
Erebus nodded. "Really. And even if Mosi doesn't feel the same way, your friendship is worth more than any romantic relationship. You've been her rock, Ross. Don't give up on being by her side, no matter what."
Ross's determination solidified, his voice firm. "I won't. I'll be here for her, no matter what."
As Erebus was passing Zayn's room, he called out to him.
"Hey uh... Erebus, quick word"
Erebus stopped in his tracks and turned to face Zayn, who was standing in the doorway of his room. "What's up, Zayn? Everything okay?"
Zayn stepped out into the hallway, his eyes serious. "Yeah, everything's fine. I just wanted to talk to you about Mosi. I know you're trying to help her, and I appreciate that. But I need to know... what's your endgame here?"
Erebus raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the question. "My endgame? I'm not sure what you mean."
Zayn's eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't play dumb, Erebus. I know you've got a hidden agenda. What do you plan to do with Mosi once she's mastered her abilities?"
Erebus chuckled, impressed by Zayn's perceptiveness. "Alright, alright. I suppose I do have a plan. But it's not nefarious, I assure you. Let's just say... I want to give Mosi the freedom to choose her own path, without Umbra or anyone else controlling her."
"and? That can't be all" he asked
Erebus's expression turned contemplative, his voice taking on a hint of vulnerability. "And... I want to make amends, Zayn. I want to make up for past mistakes, for playing God with people's lives. Mosi's the key to that, in more ways than one."
Zayn's eyes searched Erebus's face, his expression softening. "You're talking about redemption."
Erebus nodded, a small smile on his lips. "Yes, redemption. I want to help Mosi find her place in this world, and in doing so, find my own redemption."
Zayn's gaze lingered on Erebus's face, then he nodded. "Alright, I trust you. But remember, Mosi's not just a tool for your redemption. She's a person, with her own agency and desires."
Erebus's smile grew, his eyes shining with gratitude. "I know, Zayn. And I promise to respect that."
"do you also know if her parents are alive?? Her foster parents I mean, Mr and Mrs Thompson, I mean you must have known how she took down the world's leaders by her own self" Zayn said, feeling proud of Moselia
Erebus's expression turned somber, his eyes clouding over. "Ah, yes... the Thompsons. I'm afraid they're not alive, Zayn. They were killed in a 'car accident' shortly after Mosi's... incident. Umbra silenced them to prevent them from revealing anything about Mosi's past."
Zayn's face fell, his eyes widening in shock. "What? No, that's... that's horrible!"
Erebus nodded grimly. "Yes, it is. But Mosi doesn't know. I've kept it from her to protect her. She's been through enough already."
Zayn's expression turned determined. "We'll make sure she knows the truth when the time is right. And we'll make Umbra pay for what they've done."
Erebus's eyes gleamed with approval. "I knew I could count on you, Zayn. Together, we'll uncover the truth and bring justice to those responsible."
"alright thanks"
"Zayn, do you really love Moselia?"
Zayn's expression softened, his eyes gazing off into the distance as if remembering a fond memory. "Yes, I do. I love her strength, her courage, and her determination. I love the way she makes me feel, like I'm home. I love her quirks, her smile, and her laugh. I love her for who she is, and for who she helps me to be."
He turned back to Erebus, his eyes shining with conviction. "I know we've been through a lot, and we've got a long way to go. But I'm willing to fight for her, to stand by her side no matter what. Because when I'm with her, I feel like I can face anything."
Erebus smiled, his eyes warm with approval. "That's what I like to hear, Zayn. You two are meant to be together. Just remember, Mosi's got a lot on her plate right now. Be patient, be understanding, and be there for her when she needs you."
"the training is gonna be hard Zayn, but I want you to leave her be, she'll get through it, or she'll never be able to realize her full potential"
Zayn's face set in a determined expression, his jaw clenched. "I know, Erebus. I'll give her the space she needs. But it's hard, you know? Seeing her push herself to the limit, feeling her pain and frustration... I just want to help her, to protect her."
Erebus placed a hand on Zayn's shoulder, his eyes serious. "I know it's hard, Zayn. But you have to trust me on this. Mosi needs to go through this alone. She needs to confront her own demons, to face her own limitations. If you interfere, you'll only hold her back."
Zayn nodded, his eyes flashing with understanding. "I get it. I'll back off, give her the space she needs. But if she ever needs me, I'll be there in a heartbeat."
Erebus smiled, his eyes warm with approval. "That's all anyone can ask for, Zayn. Now let's focus on supporting Mosi from afar, and helping her become the powerful force she's meant to be."
"what about Sophia? You should know something about her"
Erebus's expression turned guarded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Sophia... yes. She's a complicated one, Zayn. A wild card, even among the Umbra operatives."
He paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "Sophia has her own agenda, one that doesn't necessarily align with Umbra's goals. She's a chameleon, adaptable and cunning. And she has a personal stake in Mosi's fate."
Zayn's eyes locked onto Erebus's, his voice low and urgent. "What do you mean? What's Sophia's connection to Mosi?"
Erebus's expression turned grim. "Let's just say Sophia has a history with Mosi's family, one that goes far beyond mere coincidence. And she'll stop at nothing to claim what she believes is rightfully hers."
Zayn's face set in a determined expression. "I'll make sure Mosi knows. We'll be ready for Sophia, whatever she throws our way."
"also she wants to have you back, I'd do well to be careful too, I don't know what she's had planned because it's been quite long, but I know it's coming, fast and dangerous and it's going to put your relationship with Moselia in jeopardy if you're not cautious " Erebus warned told Zayn.
"I'm sure you wouldn't want Moselia to be heartbroken and I'm sure I don't need to tell you that Ross will kill you if you hurt her" he told zayn.
Zayn's eyes widened in alarm, his face pale. "Heartbroken? Ross will kill me? Erebus, what are you talking about? I would never hurt Mosi, she's the love of my life!"
Erebus's expression turned serious, his eyes locked onto Zayn's. "I know that, Zayn. But Sophia's plan, whatever it is, will drive a wedge between you and Mosi. It'll make her question your loyalty, your love for her. And if Ross gets wind of it... let's just say he's very protective of Mosi."
Zayn's grip on Erebus's arm tightened. "Tell me what to do, Erebus. I'll do anything to prevent that from happening."
Erebus's expression turned grim. "Be vigilant, Zayn. Watch your back, and Mosi's. Don't trust anyone, especially not Sophia. And be prepared for anything, because when she makes her move, it'll be swift and deadly."
Erebus's expression turned grim. "Be vigilant, Zayn. Watch your back, and Mosi's. Don't trust anyone, especially not Sophia. And be prepared for anything, because when she makes her move, it'll be swift and deadly."
Zayn's face set in a determined expression, his eyes burning with a fierce intensity. "I won't let her hurt Mosi, Erebus. I'll do whatever it takes to protect her. And I won't let Sophia come between us, no matter what she tries."
Erebus nodded, a small smile on his lips. "I knew I could count on you, Zayn. Just remember, Sophia's not to be underestimated. She's a master manipulator, and she'll stop at nothing to get what she wants."
Zayn's jaw clenched, his voice low and deadly. "I'll be ready for her. And when she makes her move, I'll be the one who'll stop her."
Erebus's smile grew, his eyes gleaming with approval. "I have no doubt about that, Zayn. Now go, be with Mosi. And watch your back."
As for Moselia, after resting, she felt sweaty and decided to take a bath, taking off her clothes, it slipped down her body and fell to the floor.
Releasing her raven black hair, it cascaded down her body before she slipped into the tub.
Just as she closed her eyes to relax, she felt a presence.
She opened it and saw Zayn.
Moselia's eyes widened in surprise, her cheeks flushing with a warm glow. "Zayn! What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Zayn stood frozen in the doorway, his eyes fixed on Moselia's naked form, his face pale. "I... I didn't mean to intrude," he stammered, his eyes darting away, trying to compose himself.
Moselia's gaze followed his, and she realized her state of undress. She quickly sank deeper into the water, covering herself. "It's okay, Zayn. I just... wasn't expecting you," she said, her voice still soft.
Zayn took a step back, his eyes still averted. "I'll leave. I just wanted to check on you, make sure you're okay."
Moselia's expression softened, her voice gentle. "Wait, Zayn. You can stay. I just... need a minute to get used to your presence." She smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "And maybe you can turn around while I get out?"
Zayn nodded, his face still flushed, and turned around, his back to Moselia.
She smiled mischievously as she got out and then she gave him a back hug, making him suprised as he felt her chest pressed against his back
Zayn's eyes widened in surprise as Moselia's arms wrapped around him, her chest pressed against his back. He could feel her warm breath on his skin, sending shivers down his spine. He tried to maintain his composure, but his heart raced with excitement.
"Mosi, what are you doing?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper, trying to sound calm despite the turmoil inside him.
Moselia's grip tightened, her lips brushing against his ear. "Just showing you some affection, Zayn. You're always so serious and brooding. I thought you could use a little pick-me-up."
Zayn's eyes closed, his body relaxing into her embrace. He couldn't deny the sparks flying between them, the electricity coursing through his veins. He felt himself getting lost in the moment, in Moselia's warmth and closeness.
"Mosi..." he whispered, his voice trailing off, unsure of what to say next.
Moselia's laughter whispered against his ear, sending shivers down his spine. "Just enjoy the moment, Zayn. Let go for once."
Her hands took off his jacket, and sh kissed his shoulder.
"I love you Zayn"
Zayn's heart skipped a beat as Moselia's hands slid off his jacket, her lips brushing against his shoulder. He felt his defenses crumbling, his resolve melting away under her tender touch.
"Mosi..." he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion.
He turned around, his eyes locking onto hers, filled with a deep longing. His hands cupped her face, his thumbs tracing the contours of her cheeks.
"I love you too, Mosi," he whispered, his lips inches from hers. "More than anything."
Their lips met in a gentle, tender kiss, the world around them melting away. The tension between them dissipated, replaced by a sense of belonging, of being home.
As they broke apart for air, Zayn's eyes searched Moselia's, his voice filled with conviction. "Forever, Mosi. I promise."
His eyes further trailed down her body, as his hands moved in succession with it.
She gasped slight as she parted her lip, slipping his finger in, and she gently bit it.
He could feel a strain in his jean
Zayn's eyes flashed with desire as Moselia's lips wrapped around his finger, her gentle bite sending shivers down his spine. He could feel his pulse racing, his heart pounding in his chest.
He leaned in closer, his mouth inches from hers, his voice husky with desire. "Mosi, you're driving me crazy," he whispered, his finger still trapped in her lips.
Moselia's eyes sparkled with mischief, her gaze locked on Zayn's as she released his finger, her tongue darting out to lick her lips. "That's the idea," she whispered back, her voice barely audible.
Zayn's hands continued their exploration, tracing the curves of her body, his touch sending shivers down her spine. He could feel the tension between them building, the air thick with anticipation.
Suddenly, Moselia's hands dropped to his waist, her fingers deftly undoing the buttons of his jeans. Zayn's eyes locked onto hers, his breath catching in his throat as he realized what she was doing.
"Mosi..." he whispered, his voice trembling with desire.
her hand holding his penis as she gently stroked it.
He closed his eyes and let out a low groan, his chest upheaving.
"Open it, look at me Zayn" she whispered.
Zayn's eyes snapped open, his gaze locking onto Moselia's as she continued to stroke him. He could feel his face burning with desire, his body trembling with need.
"Mosi..." he whispered, his voice barely audible, as he gazed into her eyes.
Her eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint, her lips curled into a sly smile. "I want to see your face, Zayn. I want to see how much you want me."
Zayn's eyes never left hers, his gaze burning with intensity as he surrendered to her touch. His body arched, his chest heaving, as he let out a low, husky groan.
"Mosi... I... I can't take it," he whispered, his voice cracking with desire.
Moselia's smile grew wider, her eyes flashing with triumph. "Don't try to take it, Zayn. Just let go."
Zayn's body shuddered, his eyes locked on Moselia's as he felt himself losing control. He could feel his desire building, his passion reaching a boiling point.
With a low, husky groan, Zayn's body surrendered to Moselia's touch. He felt himself being swept away by a wave of pleasure, his senses overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment.
Moselia's eyes sparkled with triumph, her smile radiant as she watched Zayn's face contort in ecstasy. She could feel his body trembling, his muscles tensing as he reached the peak of his desire.
As Zayn's body relaxed, Moselia's hands slowed their gentle stroking, her touch becoming softer, more gentle. She could feel Zayn's eyes on her, his gaze burning with intensity, his chest heaving with exertion.
"Mosi..." Zayn whispered, his voice barely audible, his eyes locked on hers.
Moselia's smile softened, her eyes shining with love. "I'm here, Zayn," she whispered back. "I'll always be here."
