Ch. 18| Opposite of Darkness is Light

"What did I say about bringing people to the base, Neo? Also, aren't you the person I shot trying to shoot little red?" the man most commonly known as Roman Torchwick asked. 

Neo just looked at him with a raised eyebrow and pulled out her scroll. "It was either that or jail for me. I messed up and pickpocketed him and my illusions did squat." she told him. 

"So he is blackmailing you?" Roman asked gripping his cane harder looking like he was about to use it.

"No, he plans on getting rid of our little problem." she told him. "You can't mean... Cinder?" he asked looking at me skeptically. 

She gave him a smirk and nodded at him. 

"How do you plan on getting rid of Cinder?" he asked me.

"She is someone that craves power. I'll take her power and show her what it means to be really powerless. " I told him.

"How do you expect to take her power?" he asked me. 

"Ask Neo for the details. I told her a little bit." I told him not wanting to explain myself.  "When do you think Cinder will come and check up on you?" I asked them. 

"Cinder and her group contact us whenever they need something. The next time they call we can try convincing them to come in person" Roman told me.

"That would be helpful. I have only a month then I have to leave. If you don't get Cinder to me by that time you are out of luck." I told them. 

Which was a lie because I could find them whenever. I have [Warp-Gate] and I can use that to go straight to their base. I told them the lie more to give myself time to gain more power in this world.

"Why only a month?" Neo asked me holding her scroll up.

"I told my girlfriend that I would only be gone a month. If I don't get back to her within a month there is no telling what she would do." I told her. 

Roman seemed to be less on guard after I told him that. He must have some type of bond with Neo, maybe a father like bond. He doesn't have anything to worry about with me. She would be my type, but Ophis is all I need.

"We will convince her to show up before then." Roman told me. 

"I'm going to take my leave now. Contact me when she is on her way." I told them and giving them my scroll number. I only had a scroll because they were given to the teams to be able to enter their dorm rooms.

I left the warehouse that they had their base in and went back to the shop I left the girls at. Not for sure if they would be there, but Coco is crazy with shopping, and with a hundred thousand lien to spend it's a possibility that they were still there. 

I got to the store after a short walk realizing after I could have used [Warp-Gate]. The girls ended up not being at the store, so I had to call them on the scroll. Which admittedly I could have done in the first place. 

Asia was the one who picked up the phone sounding real excited and slightly tired.

"Mavros, we were wondering what happened to you? Coco told us you had somewhere to go and that you gave her your card. We all had fun though. Got to make some new friends and Eri and Velvet really hit it off. Eri liked Velvet's accent and Velvet who normally got bullied for it was happy. Coco though is relentless. I don't know anyone who loves shopping as much as her. Then again I don't know many people. Ravel, who would be most used to situations like shopping couldn't even stand it." Asia ranted to me not letting me speak at all.

"*Chuckling* I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves. Where are you anyway?" I asked her and chuckling at her rant. 

"Oh, we're on the bullhead going back to the school. Apparently, tomorrow is class with Professor Goodwitch. Velvet and Coco told us she is very strict and works everyone to the bone." she told me.
