Weiss: Part II

"Don't you think it's time you found your girl again?" My training was complete, it seems. Xandor seems to improve the relationship with my power... although I seem to feel it is a presence, not something that I can control. But it's something that relies on me. It can't live without me.

"She's now in this school... Winston High. I've sent Lex to test her. She is of age to awaken her spiritual vision - something that makes her see hidden powers like ours..."

"What, you going to - no! Don't! She..." I protested, but he only smiled.

"Lex has already made contact."

Lex came back to Esmonia with another girl. She was so indulgent in her new power.

"Brothers and sisters! We have a new sibling! Meet Mira of Winston High." Shockingly, everyone welcomes her happily, and hugs were shared.

Human values were still in Fallen... and it is just the cause they fight for, and their reasons that set them apart.

Just like me.

"And our target that you were sent to, Lex? Where is she?"

"She found her way to Protectors. We cannot defeat her Protector, at least, for the time being."

"Brother... if you couldn't finish the job, you should have asked me. She trusts me the most."

"Whatever suits you. Should this go wrong, don't put the blame on me. It is your responsibility." How deep and insightful. I didn't know Fallen has such values I thought were only from the good guys. Maybe I never tried to see from the villain's point of view.

I sent a message to Elise. I know she will use Telegram.

"Meet me at 6.30am, or else." I wrote. I didn't mean to sound rude, but it sounds rude. I sent it, anyway.

I waited at the clearing near Winston High, and she appeared.

"Why... w-why are you h-here? You're supposed to b-be dead," She was struggling to comprehend my return. I was laughing, in the depths of my mind. I combed my hair back and waited for the best time to reply.

"Well, well. I came to see you." I took out my phone and showed her the exact same text I sent to her.

"You know that doesn't really count as a reason."

"You know yourself, you know me. I told you I wanted to see you, what do you think I actually wanted, huh? Something else?" I still had to act like how I was the last time I saw her, and then slowly revert...

"Please stop, Weiss. Please. Leave from my sight. I met you because I won't know what you could possibly do if I didn't." My power? Is she scared of it? I revealed the darkness residing in me, to show her.

"What are you standing there for?" She was standing there in her own world again, I had to bring her back. I hid my power away and became the supposed jerk she thought me to be.

"Why are you now backing away? Have you got a hidden conscience? What's wrong with me that-" I lied, faking that I didn't know about how my power showed itself.
