Chapter 13 - plans for expansion

The next morning Zack woke up with quite a suprise and that was all the girls looking at him worried like something bad happened.

"What's wrong?" He was getting worried.

"You should have said you were so tired?" Priya answered him and Zack looked confused he was not the type to have a easy time sleeping in he usually gets up at 9 if he tries to sleep in.

Seeing the confusion in his face Rachel just decided that telling him the time was a better thing to do "its about 1 pm give or take a few minutes."

Now this was surprising for Zack sure he felt tired but he did not feel that tired.

"How i never slept for so long?" Zack asked himself not expecting a answer from the girls but he did get a answer.

"Well is it not obvious sweetheart it's stress." Hazel told him running har hand through his hair wich to her suprise was very soft.

"I guess but still feels weird." He said as he was not rejecting Hazel's advances as he kinda liked to feeling but he had to get serious so he gently grabbed her hand and stopped her " we have something important to discuss." He said.

So the girls quickly sat infront of him in a sort of semi circle.

"We need a bigger base because this won't do in the long run so any ideas?" He asked the girls.

"Why not get one of the black market." Rachel told him but it was rejected because who is to say that it would be safe.

"Can't we just buy one?" Priya asked him.

"If we had enough but we dont and let's not forget that getting a big enough house is already hard enough.

"Can't we make one?" Hazel suggested but it was quickly rejected when they realized none of them knows how to build a house and having one made is more expensive.

"Can we make this bigger like mine in to the wall?" That was Priya's next suggestion wich in theory would work but they have no tools and it would be a very slow procces of even doing that.

The were allot more suggestions some honorable mentions were the giant wasp hive but Priya and Zack still have had a little bit of hate towards the hive but hid it under the fact that it would be weird to explain how centipedes or others insects are living with wasps.

Another suggesties was for making the base bigger with a bomb wich was flat out rejected because it could make things worse.

After a hour of suggestions a good suggestion came up.

"What about a treehouse." Rachel said as a joke.

"If we make multiple with a bridge between them it could very well work with multiple treehouses." Hazel said and Zack and Priya nodded wich suprised Rachel because it was supposed to be a joke.

"Then its settled we are making multiple treehouses with a ladder coming from one in case someone can't climb trees." Zack told them girls.

After that a big discussion started about multiple needs in there and how it should look they might not know how to make a house but a treehouse can't be that hard atleast that is what they thought and Rachel decided to not say it was supposed to be a joke and played it off as being smart.

"So when should we start building the first one?" Hazel asked Zack.

"I guess the sooner the better but honestly i kinda want to be a little lazy we have done a lot in the last few days after all so i guess tomorrow." Was the reply Hazel got.

But the girls could understand why he wanted to relax a bit if what Priya told her was the truth and it is they have been busy finding clues about possible captain whereabouts.

"By the way do you know about possible captain whereabouts Hazel?" Zack asked her wich suprised everyone did he just not say he wanted to relax why worry about the legion if you want to relax.

"I thought you wanted to relax why worry about that?" It was a simple question but the other girls just like Hazel could not wrap their heads around why he would ask about it when he wants to relax.

"So we have someone else in the legion and so we have a extra person to help with building the treehouse." It was two reasons and the girls did not know on which to focus on so they decided not to mention it.

"I do actually." Hazel told him in a somber tone she must have seen where her friend or sister get sealed and it must have took a toll on the fact that she could not stop it.

"Can you tell us where?" Zack asked gently realizing this might be hard for Hazel but it has to happen at some point.

"Ten kilometers from my right hand side is a swamp." That was much better than anyone thought apart from the swamp part but nothing they can do about.

"Oh so which of the two are we getting?" That was the reaction Rachel had when she heard to location.

"The one who you like to tease about one of her needs." Hazel just responded in such a casual way that only Zack did not understand.

"So do i get to know?" He asked the girls hoping that would tell him.

"Sure its the mosquito." Priya told him with a happy tone.

"Cool but i will say we do that after we have a treehouse up so we dont have to worry about space are you girls all right with that?"

The girls had no problem with that and the rest of the day was spent talking a little more about the treehouse and the next day they got started with it.

The next day Priya and Rachel went out to look to see which trees are good and Zack decided that he should get a new skill and left with Hazel he asked her to see if she has a idea.

"You want to know if there is a good skill i recommend." This made her think for a little bit.

After a little bit she came up with a idea "why dont you drink my blood and see what you get i mean it depends on your luck so are you a lucky person?" She asked Zack.

"I would say i am average in luck i guess." He told her wich caused Hazel to get a small smirk on her.

"Then take a bit of my blood i mean what is the worst that can happen i have some pretty good skills you know."

It felt like a good idea but the worst that could happen is that he got a useless skill that changed how he looked.

So he agreed to the plan of taking her blood but there were some questions.

"How do you want to do it like do i need to grab something?" Zack asked her.

"No dont worry i have a better idea of getting you my blood don't you worry about it." This did the opposite for Zack and made him only worry more about it.
