CHAPTER FOURTEEN
BRIGHT BLUE GHOST

"YOU HAVE GOT to be fucking kidding me!" I couldn't help but exclaim as I stared at what was in front of me. All this time into this quest and it is now - not even a few hours after we left our motel - that we ran into one of Hades' lost souls.

But that wasn't what I found aggravating in this whole situation. No, it was the fact that Hades was taunting me with it. All these weeks and no souls but I have an unplanned out-of-nowhere meeting with their lord in my dream and suddenly, there's one in front of me. I could almost see the smug smirk on his face and that made me clench my hands tightly around the steering wheel, making my knuckles turn white from the effort.

"What?" Cosmo asked from the backseat, moving towards the middle to shove his big head between the two seats. I turned to look at them but found his buzzcut hiding Tempest from my view, so I pressed my palm on his face, digging it into his nose and pushing him backwards.

A snort escaped the blonde sitting in the passenger's seat before she spoke, wrapping her arms around her middle, "Look outside, dumbass and tell us what you see,"

A few minutes of silence passed as we waited for Cosmo to finally notice the flying a few inches from the ground, glowing a bright light blue colour and practically see-through figure a few feet away from where we waited for the traffic light to turn green.

When the male never spoke, I turned around and looked at him incredulously, "Seriously? How are you missing the floating blue lady on our left?"

I watched as his eyes widened in realisation and he nodded, signalling he finally saw her. I turned to Tempest to find her doubling over in laughter and was snapped out of my shocked state when someone honked from behind us. Not knowing what to do with the situation at hand, I pulled over but stayed far away from the ghost in case it was hostile.

"So what do we do now?" I let out a breath to show how useless I felt at the moment. It was like my body locked and my brain was fuzzy, unable to make a coherent thought. I didn't know what happened but Hades' plan seemed to have upset me a little too much for my liking.

Tempest chortled, "First, get Cosmo glasses,"

I couldn't help but cackle at that as well. I appreciated her move for trying to make me feel better even though she didn't know what was wrong with me. My laughter though earned me a punch to my bicep from Flash. He did not look amused at all.

Oh well.

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up," he rolled his eyes, leaning back in the seats.

"It's not our fault you have bad eyesight!" Tempest threw out while she was on her laughing fit. The expression on his face was priceless that I couldn't help but doubling over as well. "Should we start calling you grandpa now?"

"I'm not even the oldest person here!" He complained, giving her a pointed look that said 'call me grandpa and see the consequences'.

Tempest returned that with her own, "Did you just call me old, asshole?"

"You started it," He pointed out, turning to me as if I were their mother. Unlike a mother though, I didn't interfere. At least at first. This whole thing was hella entertaining but knowing both of them, it could go on for hours and hours so after a while, I broke the fight but yelling nonsense.

They both turned to me, wild expressions on their faces.

"I'm pretty sure I'm older than both of you so shut up and let's figure out what to do with the ghost outside!" I pointed towards the floating lady on the street who was causing pedestrians to marvel at her as they thought that it was all an act. But when one of them tried to grab her, his hand went right through her and panic rose in milliseconds.
