An Angels Hero

Trouble | Arrival

Jack, Severin, and the rest make it to his bedroom. Inside, Jack rummages through his things until he finds the device. "See?!" Jack says as he stands, holding it up. "I got this off the ship just in case it would be needed." He says, "It's a small device that allows traveling between universes. Similar to the ship we used."

"I see." Severin says, "It does look odd."

"I'll prove it." Jessica says as she steps forward. "I don't know why you're trusting him with this information, but if you trust him, I will too." She says as she snatches the device. She then pushes a few buttons and flips a switch. She disappears and Severin notices the aura he felt from Jack emanate afterwards. Then she reappears, with aura now coming from her in an overwhelming quantity.

"..." Severin is left speechless after witnessing that.

"Do you believe it now?" Jack asks.

"I... I don't know." Severin says, "It still seems so far-fetched."

"Really?" Jessica says, "I traveled to another universe a moment ago. And you're still not convinced?" Severin stands there, thinking about what she said.

"Fine. Let's say that I do. In the scenario that you really have traveled throughout the multiverse." Severin says, "If there is a multiverse... Wouldn't it be bad to tell me?"

"I'm not sure." Jack says, "I'm not sure how many people need to know or be introduced to the multiverse for it to create a distortion large enough to be a legitimate threat. I don't think a couple people, you and Avery, knowing would be that severe."

"Okay then." Severin says, crossing his arm. "And what if I were to go and tell others?"

"I... It would probably cause an issue." Jack says, "That Ruin guy would probably show up. Or the STCF."

"I see. You didn't really think about it before telling me, did you?" Severin says, "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. You shouldn't make a habit of that though."

"Right, hehehe." Jack rubs the back of his head. "My father wants to hold a special dinner to celebrate my victory. Wanna come, Severin?"

"Fine. I'll join." Severin says. Ethan is standing in the back, watching this transpire. After they begin to exit and head to the castle cafeteria, Ethan stops Severin, putting his arm in front of the door.

"What is this?" Severin asks.

"Even if Jack trusts you..." Ethan says, "I want you to know that I am not as quick to forgive. You'll need to earn my trust." Ethan says before he moves his arm and follows the others. Severin follows suit, not uttering a word in response. The group, which consists of Jack, Avery, Jessica, Ethan, and Severin, make it to the cafeteria. The cafeteria is crowding up as citizens flock in to join. There is an empty table where they all sit. Avery sees Willow amongst the crowd.

"Willow!" Avery says, happy to see her. As he walks over to her, she is wheelchair bound. A result from Severin's brutalization.

"Avery!" Willow says, and they kiss. Avery then looks at her and back at Severin.

"One moment." Avery says.

"Okay." Willow says. Avery then walks over to Jack.

"Jack, since Severin is with you... I'm gonna sit with Willow somewhere else." Avery says, "Is that okay?"

"Of course it is." Jack says, "She's your wife now, and I know what Severin did probably is traumatic for her, so it's fine."

"Thank you." Avery walks back over to Willow, and Jack watches as they talk and go off to find their own seats. He smiles, happy Avery had her. The group sit there for a few minutes, but finally the crowd dissipates as they all find seats. The king then stands to speak.
