Chapter 33 - Chapter thirty three

Zayn and Ross held up their hands in mock surrender, still chuckling. "Okay, okay, we're leaving! No need to get feisty, Mosi!"

Erebus and Dr. Samir laughed and nodded, "We'll give you some privacy, Moselia. Feel better soon!"

As they filed out of the room, Moselia called out, "And don't think about sneaking back in! I need some alone time!"

Zayn and Ross exchanged a look, grinned, and whispered in unison, "We'll be back..."

The door closed behind them, and Moselia let out a sigh of relief, finally alone to tend to her discomfort and collect her thoughts.

After a warm bath, she came out, and got dressed.

wearing black cargo pants, and a white sleeve tank top and a pair of timberland boots, she did her hair in loose bun, holding her stomach as it hurt, she straightened up, resisting the urge to throw up, her period has always been so nerve racking and mood changing.

She sighed and left her room.

As she walked out of her room, Moselia was greeted by the concerned faces of Zayn and Ross, who were leaning against the wall, waiting for her. They immediately pushed off from the wall and approached her, their eyes scanning her face and body.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Zayn asked, his voice soft and gentle.

Ross added, "We brought you some tea and crackers, thinking it might help with the cramps."

Moselia smiled weakly, touched by their thoughtfulness. "Thanks, guys. I appreciate it."

Erebus and Dr. Samir emerged from the living room, looking concerned. "Moselia, how are you doing? Do you need anything?"

Moselia took a deep breath, trying to muster up some energy. "I'm okay, just need to get through this day. Let's get whatever we need to do done, so I can go back to bed."

Zayn and Ross exchanged a look, and then Zayn said, "We'll make it quick, Mosi. We promise."

Ross added, "And we'll be right by your side, the whole time."

They followed Dr Samir.

"We should go out, explore Japan and see" Zayn said and added, "that is if you want to do that Mosi, I will support whatever you say" he smiled and Ross nodded.

Moselia smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart at their considerate words. "I'd love to explore Japan with you both," she said, her voice a little stronger now. "But let's take it easy, okay? I don't want to overdo it today."

Dr. Samir nodded, "Absolutely, we'll take it at your pace, Moselia. There's no rush."

As they walked out of the facility, Moselia felt a sense of excitement and freedom. She was grateful to have Zayn and Ross by her side, taking care of her and supporting her every step of the way.

The Japanese sunlight and fresh air hit her like a gentle hug, and she felt a sense of peace wash over her. Maybe today wouldn't be so bad after all.

"Let's go get some food first," Ross suggested, "I heard there's an amazing ramen place nearby."

Moselia's stomach growled at the mention of food, and she nodded enthusiastically. "Ramen sounds amazing right now."

Zayn grinned, "Then it's settled, ramen it is!"

"oh I forgot my disguises" Moselia pointed out as they left the house.

She immediately felt warm hands around her face and a face mask was out directly on her face with a pair of sunglass, she turned around and saw Ross, who smiled sweetly at her.

Moselia couldn't help but laugh at Ross's quick thinking and gentle touch. "You're always prepared, aren't you?" she teased, adjusting the face mask and sunglasses.

Ross chuckled, "Someone has to keep you safe and incognito, Mosi."

Zayn handed her a hat and a scarf, "Here, add these to your disguise. We don't want to take any chances."

Moselia took the hat and scarf, wrapping the scarf around her head and putting on the hat. "How do I look?" she asked, striking a pose.

Erebus, who was walking beside them, smiled, "You look like a completely different person, Moselia. The disguise is perfect."

Dr. Samir nodded in agreement, "Yes, you're now ready to blend in with the crowd. Let's go enjoy that ramen!"

They entered a Japanese ramen restaurant, they were a few people inside eating, after deciding, Ross and Zayn decided to order food while the others sat down at their table waiting.

The aroma of rich tonkotsu broth and savory pork filled the air, making Moselia's stomach growl with anticipation. She sat down at the table, surrounded by Erebus and Dr. Samir, while Ross and Zayn went to order at the counter.

As they waited, Moselia took in the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant, admiring the traditional Japanese decorations and the steaming bowls of ramen being devoured by the other patrons.

Ross and Zayn returned with a tray laden with steaming bowls of ramen, gyoza, and steamed buns. "Alright, Mosi, we got your favorite - tonkotsu ramen with extra pork slices," Ross said, setting a bowl in front of her.

Zayn added, "And we got some extra gyoza me for everyone to share."

Moselia's eyes widened at the spread before her. "This looks amazing, thank you both!"

As they dug in, the group savored the flavors and textures of the delicious Japanese cuisine, enjoying each other's company and the warmth of the restaurant.

"wait how did you speak Japanese to order?" Dr Samir noted and we all smiled.

"You seem to have forgotten we're experiments, it just seem to click" Erebus said.

Moselia nodded, "yeah, when we arrived, I heared them.speak japanese and my brain just seemed to translate it naturally, and in a couple of minutes I started speaking the language too, it's not that hard "

"Wow, for the first time I'm actually jealous of your well programmed brains" Dr Samir said and we all laughed.

Ross and Zayn looked at Mosi, she seemed to laugh so brightly, compared to the past year where disaster seemed to meet her from all corners.

Ross and Zayn exchanged a warm glance, happy to see Moselia laughing and carefree. They had been through so much together, and it was moments like these that made all the struggles worth it.

"I know, right?" Moselia said, still chuckling. "I feel like my brain just absorbed the language or something. It's crazy!"

Erebus nodded, "It's not just the language, Mosi. We've all been experiencing strange... enhancements, I suppose. Abilities we never knew we had."

Dr. Samir leaned in, intrigued. "I'd love to study this further. The possibilities are endless!"

Zayn raised an eyebrow, "Let's not get too carried away, Doc. We're still trying to figure out who we are and what we're capable of."

Ross added, "And we need to enjoy the little moments, like this ramen and good company."

She gagged again, and the others looked at her.

"Let me help you to the toilet" Ross stood up.

"No need I can go myself"

"Don't worry guys, the wrist watch she's wearing has a tracking chip, we'll find her if she gets lost"

"Guys it's just a trip to the bathroom, don't fret"

Moselia stood up, waving off Ross's offer, and made her way to the bathroom, trying to reassure them. "I'll be fine, really. Just need a minute."

As she walked away, Zayn and Ross exchanged a concerned glance. "We should still keep an eye on her," Zayn whispered.

Ross nodded, "I'll go check on her in a minute. Just to make sure."

Erebus, who had been quietly observing, spoke up, "Actually, I think I'll go check on her too. Just in case?"

Dr. Samir nodded, "Good idea. We don't want to take any chances."

As she took off her facemask, cap and scarf, she stared at the mirror, her skin seemed to glow.

She washed her face and wore it back, when she opened the door to leave she saw Ross.

"I told you I'm fine"

He brushed his hand against her neck.

"Still you should know me" he whispered and kissed her neck, then held it in a chokehold, firmly but gently.

"I'm always worried about you, I can't help it, you make me feel so" he whispered and smirked and kissed her chin.

Moselia's heart skipped a beat as Ross's gentle yet firm touch sent shivers down her spine. She felt a rush of love and affection for him, knowing that his concern came from a place of deep care.

"I know, Ross," she whispered back, her voice barely audible. "I feel the same way about you... and Zayn."

Ross's eyes sparkled with emotion as he gazed at her, his grip on her neck gentle yet possessive. "I know, Mosi. We're in this together, always."

Just then, Zayn appeared beside them, a soft smile on his face. "Everything okay here?"

Ross released Moselia's neck, but not before giving it a gentle squeeze. "Just making sure our girl is okay," he said, his eyes never leaving Moselia's face.

Zayn nodded, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Good. We can't have her getting away from us that easily."

Moselia rolled her eyes, laughing. "I'm right here, you know. Not going anywhere."

Zayn chuckled and wrapped his arm around Moselia's waist, pulling her close. "We know, Mosi. We just like to make sure you know you're stuck with us."

Ross grinned, his eyes shining with amusement. "Forever and always, Mosi. You're ours."

Moselia's heart swelled with love and affection for the two men flanking her. She knew she was exactly where she belonged – between Zayn and Ross, surrounded by their love and protection.

"Forever and always," she whispered back, her voice filled with emotion.

The three of them shared a tender hug, their bond stronger than ever. As they pulled back, Erebus and Dr. Samir approached.

"Shall we get going?" Dr. Samir asked, his eyes twinkling. "We have a lot to explore in this beautiful city."

Moselia nodded, her hand instinctively reaching for Zayn's and Ross's. "Let's go."

As they were walking on the streets, Moselia kept looking around, taking in the scenery, it smelt like food.

"Zayn, I want some chocolate, can you buy some for me, we'll wait right here for you, just that store there" she looked at him with expectant eyes and he smiled.

"Sure, just hold on okay "

Zayn nodded and headed towards the store, leaving Moselia and Ross standing on the sidewalk. Moselia gazed up at Ross, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I love Japanese chocolate, it's so delicious!"

Ross chuckled and rubbed her hair "We'll get you all the chocolate you want, Mosi. Just be patient for a minute."

As they waited, Moselia leaned into Ross's side, holding her stomach because of cramps. She took in the sights and sounds of the bustling street, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Zayn entered the store and was immediately hit with the aroma of sweet treats. He scanned the shelves, picking out a few of Moselia's favorite snacks, including some delicious looking chocolate bars.

As he came back they continued.

"So guys.. now that we are here, what next, you know we can have fun forever, sooner or later, they'll know where we are and send people after us, we have to start with Sophia, take her down" Dr Samir said.

When Zayn heard that name, he frowned, feeling nauseated.

I can't believe I loved that woman, he thought.

Moselia noticed Zayn's reaction and reached out, placing a gentle hand on his arm. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, concern etched on her face.

Zayn took a deep breath, trying to shake off the memories of Sophia. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just... hearing her name brings back some bad memories."

Ross's expression turned grim. "We'll take her down, Zayn. She's not going to hurt anyone else we care about."

Dr. Samir nodded in agreement. "We need to come up with a plan to take Sophia down, and then we can start building a life free from the facility's grasp, and then maybe continue planning how we can take down the others"

Erebus spoke up, his voice filled with determination. "I've been thinking... we can use our unique abilities to our advantage. We just need to figure out how to harness them."

Moselia's eyes sparkled with determination. "Let's do it. Let's take Sophia down and start our new life together."

The group shared a resolute nod, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, as long as they were together.

"yes, our unique abilities, I can try gathering attention to myself and see what happens, if they find out we're here in Japan then no doubt they'll come looking for me, Ross you can narrow down the location after they arrive and then we can find them and take them unaware"

Moselia said.

Ross nodded, his eyes narrowing in thought. "That's a good plan, Mosi. We can use your ability to draw them in, and then I can track their location. Zayn, can you use your skills to take them down quietly?"

Zayn nodded, his face set in a determined expression. "I'll take care of it. Erebus, can you hack into any surveillance systems to give us an edge?"

Erebus nodded, his fingers already flying across his phone's keyboard. "I'm on it. Dr. Samir, can you analyze their tactics and predict their next move?"

Dr. Samir nodded, his eyes shining with intensity. "I'll study their patterns and give you a detailed report. Moselia, be careful when you draw attention to yourself. We don't know what we're up against."

Moselia took a deep breath, a fierce glint in her eye. "I'm ready. Let's do this."

Moselia looked around and saw a group of idols that were dancing and camera recording... She smiled.

"I know just how to do it"

Zayn and Ross looked at where Moselia was looking.

Zayn's eyes widened in surprise. "Mosi, you're not thinking of..."

Moselia nodded mischievously. "Why not? It's perfect. I'll just join in and make a scene. They'll be sure to notice me."

Ross chuckled. "You're going to crash an idol performance? That's bold, even for you."

Moselia grinned. "Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. Besides, I've always wanted to try out my K-pop moves."

Without another word, Moselia skipped towards the group of idols, her eyes shining with excitement. Zayn and Ross exchanged a look, shrugged, and followed after her, ready to provide backup.

Erebus and Dr. Samir watched from a distance, Erebus already hacking into the camera feeds to ensure they had a clear view of the situation.

Moselia immediately took off her scarf, her long hair spilling down and her clear eyes bright as she immediately joined the group camera, at first everyone was shocked.

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause as Moselia seamlessly integrated herself into the performance. Her long hair flipped and swirled around her, mesmerizing the audience with its fluid motion. Her eyes sparkled like diamonds under the bright lights, and her exotic features captivated everyone's attention.

The idols themselves were taken aback by Moselia's sudden appearance, but they quickly adapted, incorporating her into their choreography. Together, they created a dazzling display of dance and music that left the crowd breathless.

Zayn and Ross watched from the sidelines, grinning at Moselia's antics. She was a natural-born performer, and her carefree spirit was infectious.

Erebus, still hacking into the camera feeds, chuckled to himself. "Mosi's definitely got their attention. I'm picking up multiple feeds from different angles. We'll have no problem tracking any incoming threats."

Dr. Samir nodded, his eyes fixed on Moselia. "She's a true wild card. I'm not sure what's more impressive, her dancing skills or her ability to think on her feet."

As the performance reached its climax, Moselia struck a final pose, her hair fluttering around her like a halo. The crowd went wild, and the cameras captured every moment of her stunning debut. Little did they know, this was only the beginning.

The idol group's manager, a middle-aged man with a keen eye for talent, approached Zayn, Ross, and Moselia, beaming with excitement. "You three are absolute gems! We've never seen anyone like you. Are you interested in joining our agency?"

Moselia laughed, still basking in the thrill of her impromptu performance. "I don't think so, we're just... uh, tourists."

But the manager wouldn't take no for an answer. "Tourists? Ha! You three have the 'it' factor. We can make you stars overnight. Name your price!"

Zayn and Ross exchanged a skeptical look, but Moselia just smiled sweetly. "Sorry, we're not interested. But thanks for the offer!"

The manager persisted, showering them with business cards and promises of fame and fortune. Finally, Zayn and Ross had to intervene, politely but firmly escorting Moselia away from the crowd.

As they made their escape, Erebus and Dr. Samir fell into step beside them. "Well, that was fun," Erebus chuckled. "But we should keep moving. We don't know how long it'll take for our... friends to show up."

Dr. Samir nodded, eyes scanning the crowd. "Agreed. We've made enough of a splash for one day. Let's find a safe place to lay low for a while."

Moselia grinned mischievously. "But that was just the beginning. We're just getting started!"

As the music video went viral, Moselia, Zayn, and Ross were blissfully unaware of the chaos they had unleashed. They were too busy enjoying their newfound freedom and each other's company to notice the storm brewing around them.

But as they walked down the street, they began to notice strange looks and whispers from passersby. People were staring at them, pointing and giggling. Moselia, with her striking white and purple tint hair, was particularly noticeable.

At first, they thought it was just because of their unusual hairstyles and fashion sense. But as the attention continued to grow, they realized something more was at play.

It wasn't until they saw their faces plastered on giant billboards and TV screens that they understood the magnitude of the situation. They were overnight sensations, with the public and media clamoring for more.

Moselia's "purple-haired goddess" moniker was everywhere, with fans and pundits alike marveling at her beauty and charisma. Zayn and Ross, too, were hailed as heartthrobs, with their chiseled features and mysterious aura captivating audiences.

As they struggled to wrap their heads around this sudden fame, they knew one thing - their lives would never be the same again. Little did they know, this was only the beginning of a wild ride that would take them to the heights of stardom and the depths of danger.
