The VENOM Squad : Emperor Scorpion ft. Monitor Lizard

Chapter 4

"Grock is sorry," the Stone Giant apologizes.

Gusion is currently standing on the entrance of his room, his face turning into a frown as he scans his invaded personal space. Grock is sitting timidly across him as he hugs the fortress like a baby.

"Grock tried to sleep but Grock has insomnia," he adds.

"You have insomnia?" Gusion asks as he enters in his messed up room. Who would have thought that giants would have something like that?

His bookshelves are broken, the books are scattered around almost covering the floor, his bed is in a total wreck and impossible to be repaired. His glass windows are broken that the cold breeze could enter it easily.

He stares at the huge broken mirror and he gets startled as it suddenly collapses right in front of him.

He wants to shout at Grock but his timid behavior makes him as innocent as a child which is preventing him from venting out his anger on the stone giant.

"Grock did not do this on purpose," says the giant as he stands up. He does not want to anger Gusion but his carelessness is out of his control. It has been a problem for him ever since he existed.

"How did you know that you have insomnia?"

"Lesley told Grock about it," replies the giant as he brightens up upon mentioning the sniper's name. "Lesley said that if one cannot sleep soundly, then one is having insomnia."

Gusion hears a loud crack so he looks behind and narrows his sight towards the stone giant. He tries his best to calm down and bury the fury that is building inside him.

"Grock is sorry for that, too," he states as he lifts his foot from the cracked floor. "Grock should go outside."

Gusion watches him leave and when the giant tries to open the doors, its stony hands made them creak and break like a fragile glass. The doors got off from its hinges and fell on the floor with a bang. He face-palms at the wreckage and it would take days for his room to be fixed. Plus, he does not have the time to fix all that himself especially that he needs further research about light elements so he could apply them in practicing his combat skills.

"I need my room to be fixed as soon as possible. I need to take Grock for a walk," he demands from their family butler before storming out from the room. He lets out a sigh for he had never taken into consideration that it would be this hard to keep a stone giant inside your home.

Upon taking his exit from their mansion, he sees Grock mumbling something as he sits by the stairs. He also senses the gloomy aura he emits, probably feeling down after what he had done with his room.

"Want to go see Lesley for a bit?" he says which the giant agreed to reluctantly.

"Lesley seems to know a lot about your kind," Gusion comments.

"Yes, Lesley said she read a book about us," Grock states.

Gusion nods in response, "And you seem to be very fond of her."

Upon reaching the Vance household, Gusion sees Lesley sitting by a tree branch near the gates while wiping her rifle.

"Grock is here!" the stone giant announces as he waves the fortress above his head.

Lesley smiles at him and jumps off to greet them.

"A visit?" she asks but Grock does not know how to respond so he stared at Gusion, waiting for him to reply on his stead.

"No," he replies. "You know more about their kind so it's only logical for you to take care of him."

"Are you telling me to babysit him?" Lesley clarifies. With her tone of voice and with an eyebrow raised, annoyance starts to show on her face.
