The Virus Stealer

12 - Decision. [REWRITTEN]

"Jacob! Nice to see you again!" She wraps her arms around him, only to be given pats on the backs.

"Y-Yeah, you're choking me," he chuckles. Alex would let go of him, still smiling. The hooded figure would cough, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Why are you here?" He asks, glaring at Jacob. Jacob would narrow his eyes at him. He would approach him and suddenly slam his hand against his back, patting the hooded man.

"Oracle! Great to see you again!" He laughs through his pats. The hooded man, Oracle, would grunt every time he gets hit. He would brush Jacob's hand away.

"Get off! How many times do I have to tell you? Mind your own business," Oracle would sigh and step away from Jacob. Jacob still stands at his original spot, smiling.

"No~ You misunderstand," he smiles. "I'm not meddling in your business." Jacob's smile would fade, revealing a serious expression. "This is mine, and you are involved."

"Can you tell us what is wrong? It must be serious since you've come to meet us instead of being at your workplace," Alex would put her hands against her hips while leaning towards Jacob with a pondering look. "Well, I did tell you to come to visit from time to time- and by the way," she looks over at Jason that is covered in bandages.

"Who is this fella?" She would lean closer to him, examining him.

"Looks young, doesn't look like he is a normal guy, kinda handsome," she would pat his shoulder. "I like you! I think we can be friends!" Oracle coming from behind would grab her shoulders and drag her away from Jason, giving them some space.

"Look, kid. Whatever your deal is, you better not mess with us," he said.

Jacob would smack his head, pushing Oracle aside. "Move it, you edge lord,"

"Wha?!"

"This is Jason Collins. He works under me. There is a- well, misfortune to his life and now he's involved with the Satan," Jacob would gesture his hand towards him. 

"Whoa!" Alex would rush at Jason again, knocking Jacob aside causing him to scream.

"If you are involved, does that mean you have a supernatural ability like Jacob?!"

"Does that mean you're immortal? What about your weapon? Do you have a special ability that can be activated on the urge of death?! How about-" Oracle would wrap his hand on top of her mouth, as they can only hear her ramble in her muffled voice.

"Why doesn't he talk?" Oracle asks, looking over Alex's shoulder. When Jason was about to open his mouth to say something, Jacob would cut him off.

Not knowing for sure if it was intentionally or not.

"The thing is, we wanted to see if you can help us with something. Use your nerd power," Jacob said.

"Sure. What can I help you with- wait, nerd power?"

"This," he would reveal Jason's mask and hand it to her. She takes the time to examine it. She opens the visor up to look in the interior.

She was able to find that in seconds while for Jason, it took him a cleaning session.

"Made by Nathan? It does look like his work, I gotta admit," she pauses to continue examining it.

"I have just the tools and parts to get this working. We'll have to go to my house," she looks over towards Oracle. "Do you have your keys?"

He would reply back with a nod.

Jason would pat Jacob's shoulder, grabbing his attention.

"What about-" Jason stops and puts his hands over his mouth. Jacob's eyes would go wide, while Oracle and Alex stare in confusion.
