DEVAB: Empty Thoughts

Chapter 5: Hope.

He walked without a purpose, everything that they knew he warned people about, but were doubted. Every place they could've thought of, kicked out. Multiple names were made for them. "Lunatic! Madman! Deranged!" All those thoughts meant nothing to them, though. He knew the truth behind it all. He just can't get the idea that he should keep this whole situation private. Been three years anyway.

He walked back to a house, knocking on the front door, knowing he'll get a response. The door opened. The opened door revealed a woman, he knows her, Alice. Alice would've been seen as a better human being then him to the perspective of anyone who would actually see them. Alice wore more casual clothing, and didn't constantly have goggles on her long, black hair 24/7. Alice sighed when she saw how the man looked, his face of shame and disappointment, she knows him. "Why do you bother trying to warn people about M.E., Gio?"

Gio sat down near a table with Alice on the other side. Gio still had a gloom look on his face. Gio decided to finally speak up. "Look Alice, I'm sorry I don't want anymore people falling victim to M.E. and becoming Slaves to the person who made me like this, but-"
"Gio, we've had this conversation for years at this point, you need to stop thinking that people will believe you, and that'll they understand, of course, I do, but that's because I know you. They don't." Gio looked away from her in sadness, but he looked backed and regained himself, and knew what she was saying was true. "Alice, all I know, is that even if I can stop one person here from M.E., I would've done my job. But that isn't enough for me. I want them completely done with, GONE!" He shouted, slamming his fist on the table. Alice shook her head, "I respect your determination, but we're just two people warning others, we can't possibly put a stop to them." Gio got angry at this and barked back: "To hell with that! If I can't get anyone with me to raid that bastard's place, then I'll go by myself! If nothing, it'll kill a part of the company. Those people at the bar aren't willing to go with me, no matter how hammered, but I'll go by myself, and put an end to Maveri-".

Knocking on the door was heard.

They both were stunned to hear this, nobody went knocking near them. What could they want? Alice rose up and started walking towards the door, where she opened it and saw two men and a young girl. One man looked solemn and serious, the other seemed more edgy and seemed like a bully you'd see in some sort of tv program focused around school. The child with them looked nothing a like them, though. She wore a huge green and fluffy hoodie on her, it was like they were all pulled out of completely different areas and times, but they all knew eachother. Naturally, Alice stepped back a bit out of shock, not helped by the solemn man's next sentence: "Hello Alice, we have a reason to believe you and a friend are investigating a ordeal featuring people with yellow eyes doing violent actions, we'd like to help you."

"Are you so willing to let these people into our house?" Alice was questioning Gio, but he just silenced her by going "SHHHHH!! Alice, I haven't a hell's clue who these people are, but god damnnit would I rather give up myself to that company then not take up this opportunity. This could be our only chance at stopping M.E. and H.M., let's take it." Alice just shrugged, with a hint of hesitation on her face and stood behind Gio as he introduced himself and Alice to their new guests, Darrell, Brock and Evanna.
"Good day everyone, my name is Gio and this here is my good friend, Alice." Alice gave a quick look after he said that. "We are very thankful to have actual people willing to help us, I don't know where you've heard about this whole ordeal, but we are very willing to take in new recruits." Gio continued while the three listened "I'll have Alice take Brock and Darrell into a different room to explain the entire ordeal, I was never one for explaining stuff." Evanna spoke up: "Why didn't you mention me there? Am I not going to be involved?" Gio was going to speak until Alice spoke before him. "I don't think this kind of situation would be appropriate to expose to someone like her, so we'll leave you out for now, I'm sure that we will find a way to include you, so that you aren't left alone." Brock whispered to Evanna so the others wouldn't here. "Don't worry, Lass, I'll tell you all about what's going the moment their backs are turned!"

Brock, Darrell and Alice all went into a separate room to explain everything, Brock and Darrell also wanted to explain who they were, along with their unnatural powers, it'd be weird, but they're sure that Alice and Gio would get used to it. Gio was left to mind Evanna. Gio haf a thought in that moment, simply asking Evanna: "I'll show you what's really happening here, if they aren't going to tell you, you should know what's really going on." Evanna was uneasy, but followed him up without saying a word. Gio said nothing while walking up to his room. When they reached his room, the door was scratched and barely holding on, and Gio's eye was twitching, he put his hand on the doorhandle, and pushed the door to let Evanna see what was in there.

Curiosity got the better of Evanna.
