BLEED/HAVEN

[XXIV] LEO

Voiceless. Only movement came from the swollen lips and bruised face of the man sitting tied to the chair before Leo. His eyes were intense and full of rage. The deeper he searched into the man's eyes, the deeper he dived into the flames that engulfed them. He then stood, surrounded by emerald flames, the beast from the Raphael staring at him and speaking

"Ravai."

From there the scene shifted once more to a woman standing amidst the fires, people rushing all around to escape or cling to their lives. The woman's gaze was fixed on Leo despite the chaos surrounding, she extended a hand, Leo felt drawn to it. In the blink of an eye, he was in a dark room, enormous and high in the sky, looking down upon the chaos below, the woman looked in his eyes and asked,

'It's your choice.'

Leo woke with a start, the sound of banging on his door tearing him from his fever-like dream. A voice called out from the other side of the door, singing in a playful manner, Jet,

"Leo it is Setton and Jetton, but my name is not Jetton it's just Jet but Jetton sounds kinda cool. We need you to wake up so we can whoop you in some video games."

Leo shook his head before turning to see Juno asleep, using his backside as a pillow. Isaiah had been letting her maintain her physical form whenever they were home to feel less lonely with all the time he spent doing nothing now. Along with the fact that she seemed to enjoy it. However he did not have an explanation and did not need the others asking questions as to who she was, so he turned and spoke,

"J-Juno. Hey Juno.. You gotta go."

Without a word from the A.I, she dissipated in a flash of light and Leo frantically gathered her three spheres. From then, the two started knocking at his door frantically to which he finally replied,

"Yup! I heard you, I'm coming."

On his way stumbling to the door he saw that a digital clock in his kitchen read '1:07pm'. Well, he was more tired than he thought after the prior night he spent at Jet's. After the last mission they went on on the Raphael, Leo was repaired and the team had not been called in for the rest of the week, giving the man time to recover both physically and mentally.

He opened the door and was greeted to Jet and Set dressed up for a night on the town. Jet had a white tee with beige slacks and loafers. He wore a nice golden watch and sunglasses as well. Set was dressed in a black long sleeve with matching slacks and dress boots. Leo wore. The same sweaty outfit from a day prior. When he opened the door, Jet lowered his sunglasses and rose an eyebrow before he spoke,

"So. We're going to the ball around seven. Charnita is going to hang back and take care of her son until then and Tina is going to the mall in about an hour. I propose.."

Set made a face before signing something, to which Jet laughed and continued,

"Yup I agree, Leo, how about you shower, we grab some food and go get you something to wear tonight."

Leo raised an eyebrow before he spoke,

"But I have clothes-"

Jet threw an arm around the friend's shoulders and continued,

"Yes, and you have good taste may I add, but why not spice it up, try something new? You might like it. Right Set?"

Set folded his arms with a charming grin and nodded.

'I'm excited to see what they have in store for you.'

With a grin and sigh, Leo agreed to the proposal and went to take a shower. However he still found it odd how Jet was able to act so calm after last night.
