Anti-Heroes; The Origin Of Rogue And Painkiller

35.The Tale Of The Meta Dracula

Philky POV

It's been a week since Janelle's been dead, I've talked to Victor about the bracelet and he explained it's importance.

Flashback

I sit in the hotel room with Victor and Clark as they explain Janelle's bracelets and the differences between mine and Khalil's.

Clark:Your bracelet is made of diamonds as you know, but these are made by Janelle. She placed some of her... Self into the bracelets, her abilities we should say, Khalil's have the different forms of kryptonite, everything in his is made from a form of kryptonite and a few from earth's untapped materials. His is more for stability, to keep his mind safe and an indication of danger. Yours...

Victor:Yours has some of Janelle's inner light, which means that you're basically wearing Janelle's abilities, she gave you this and not Khalil is because you are going to be doing something different than Khalil, she knows he's going to step out of the meta world so he needs more peace of mind than protection. You on the other hand...

I look at the bracelet shaking my head.

Me:You expect me to believe that this is supposed to hold Janelle's abilities? Come on man, you can't even believe that right?

Before I can blink I see Clark throwing a punch but my body deflects it pushing him into the table, smoothly like I knew he was gonna do that, like I've done it a million times.

Victor:Trust me Janelle was busy during her time away, she found a way to do things no one could think about doing. She found the key that combines different magical abilities and was able to work it in her favor with no strings attached, which is very hard to do in many practices. Now that's not to say you've gained everything Janelle had just a few life saving ones, you'll learn what they are as you go. So I'd advise for you to not take that off. Both of the pieces are indestructible and won't work on anyone else due to Janelle's ability to connect your electrical pulse to each one. The pinch is the literal blood bond to the bracelet.

I look at the bracelet turning it around.

Me:She is coming back? Ever? In her video she was alluding to me seeing her again but at the same time telling me to not get my hopes up.

Clark:We have a theory, Bruce doesn't agree with it but he hasn't seen the things we have.

I look at them waiting.

Victor:We believe that because Janelle's able to connect her self to these bracelets even in death to protect you guys, maybe putting you in a situation that the bracelet couldn't even protect you from could force her to snap from her dirt nap.

Me:I'm not following.

Clark:Say we push you in a active volcano, if Janelle didn't put flying ablitiles in and the healing ablitiles are weakening she'd wake up because your death would be like an alarm.

Me:Alright... But I gotta go, I have some things I need to do, we're leaving in a week or two right?

Victor:Yes.

I nod and get up leaving out.

Flashback over...

I flip Janelle's phone a couple of times as I look at the video on my laptop, I remember Khalil explaining to me before on how at first Janelle thought due to their relationship she believed that anti-bodies were the reason she was able to take on the toxin because they were passing DNA, when asked where they talked about this he said at her house.
