The Demon Triplets

Chapter 16

After walking behind Dick for a while we finally make it to the dining room where we both see Alfred putting down some food," Just in time Master Dick, Sir Zeldris. Breakfast is ready to be served."

Nodding my head I look towards Dick who pulled out a chair from the side of the dining table and sat down. He then looked towards me and smiled before pointing to the chair next to him. I nodded my head in thanks, giving him a small smile in return before pulling out the chair. Just as I was about to sit down though I get hugged from the right before feeling a weight on my left.

"Zel, why did you leave the medical bay?" Meliodas questioned with worry hanging in his tone. I felt Damian nod into my shoulder on my left side causing me to sigh before giving Meliodas a pointed look," Because I woke up and felt dirty so I took a shower and got some clean clothes. Something you obviously need at this moment too."

I heard Dick snicker while Meliodas gasped in a mocking way," Hmph, how dare you. I smell like rose petals thank you very much."

"Yeah, wilted rose petals," I snorted before raising an eyebrow at him and feeling Damian shake with contained laughter. Father, who came in with Meliodas and Damina, found this whole conversation amusing with Dick who was now full-on laughing.

I then proceeded to gently push Damian and Meliodas off of me before nodding my head toward the dining table," Now put aside your childish behavior and sit down to eat. I would like to eat it before it gets cold."

Meliodas sighed at that before nodding while Damian headed towards the other side of Dick and sat down. I went to the chair I already pulled out while Meliodas sat across from me and glared at me with annoyance. Father also sat down at the head of the table with a newspaper in hand. We then all began eating the food Alfred made and my gosh this food is practically heaven in my mouth.

I looked towards Damian who seemed to smile at me before continuing to eat and so did I. I then began thinking of a way to tell Father and the others about Death's mission he want me and my brother for. Continuing to think while eating I didn't notice the glances Father threw at me before he finally broke the silence," Zeldris, do you have any idea of what Deathstroke wanted from you?"

Looking up from my food to him I swallow the piece of omelet I was eating before stating," Yeah, Deathstroke's plan was to gain the attention of HER by killing my brothers and I." Damian and Meliodas' heads shot up at my reply with their eyes big and wide while Damian coughed from swallowing his food the wrong way," W-what do you mean he was trying to get HER attention?" Damian asked while Meliodas stared seriously at Zeldris waiting for an answer.

I was about to answer when Dick interrupted," Wait a minute, who is this her you guys are talking about?" Bruce nodded his head in agreement looking at me for an answer. Setting my fork down and looking straight at Dick I began explaining," You know how Meliodas, Damian, and I have powers right?" Dick and Father nodded in reply invoking me to continue," While we have these demon powers we still are human. The powers we have makes us Hellbounds. In other words, if Death or HER asks us to do something, we are required to do it because of our powers." Meliodas and Damian nodded their heads confirming what I said before Meliodas opened his mouth," Technically we aren't supposed to be talking about this in front of those who aren't Hellbounds so why are you telling them this Zeldris?"

I turned my gaze towards Meliodas before replying back," Because Death contacted me this morning telling me that he wants us three to be ready for a mission in three weeks." This got Father and Dick's attention while Damian and Meliodas eyes widen causing me to continue," Death also mentioned that SHE gave permission to tell our family about HER and Death's missions."
