I apologize for this very late update and hope you can forgive me. School did take a lot of my time. I hope I can redeem myself with this chapter. Sorry with the shortness and any possible mistakes.
The two girls were still sitting on the couch. Selena had her arms wrapped around the younger girl, who snuggled more on her side. Each of the two girls feeling content at the moment. Both taking it in the moment before going off to plan to take down the evil mastermind. They sat in silence, at least Demi did. Selena was reading every small thought that ran through the younger girl's mind.
Then the phone started ringing and Selena realized it was hers. She reached into her back pocket without letting go of Demi. She saw that it was Joe that was calling her, she forgot to call after she made up with the younger girl. She answered, "Hello?"
"I was getting worried that you didn't call me." Joe replied.
"Sorry, some personal things to take care of and it just slipped my mind."
"I hope everything's fine."
"It is." Selena sat up straighter but kept the younger by her side. "I'm been meaning to tell you something since you emailed me those files."
"Oh yeah, what is it?"Joe sat down on his desk chair in his room.
"The first test subject for Project Promethius is my mother." She sat there patiently waiting for Joe's response. It was a couple more minutes before he spoke up again.
"So I guess this makes it personal for you, huh?"
"It sure does and my mom wants to help also. But I think there is so much you can do being a high school chemistry teacher."
"She's a chemistry teacher? Where at?" Joe was becoming more curious about his best friend's mother.
"At the school that I'm going to. Joe, we need to stop this. Is there a location or a date of when the project is going to be used?"
"Yes and yes. I'm sending the coordinates and the date. I already gave everything you need and you know who else is involved. I wish I could help you any further but I can't without exposing myself to my father and blowing this whole operation. I know you're good and I trust Demi is too, so I know you'll succeed. So good luck." Then he hung up.
Selena put her phone on the coffee table and leaned back into the couch. "Is everything okay?" Demi asked the older girl.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just waiting for Joe the last bit of information for the project. We need to come up with a plan." With that being said, the older girl's phone went off, signaling that she just received a text message. She reached for her phone and looked at the message. She dropped on the couch.
"What's wrong?"
"We have about three days to figure something out." Selena leaned forward and placed her head in her hands. "That means we have to start planning right now."
"Oh." Demi said. Selena caught on her tone, she knew the girl was disappointed.
"Demi, I know we just figured everything out between us but we need to concentrate on this. Once that Lex Luthor is out of the way, we have all the time in world for ourselves. I can promise you that." She was holding onto the younger girl's hands. "I need your help on this and maybe your older brother, he seemed pretty powerful and we need someone who can heal us. I would also need to get my mom too."
Demi knew she had no choice but to comply with Selena plan. "Where can we meet up? It has to be a place no one could expect us to be."
"The Talon." Selena immediately answered. The younger girl looked at her confusingly. "It was this café back in Smallville that had closed down back when I was ten. They had the best hot chocolate that I could remember. My grandmother kept the recipe and makes it for me whenever I go visit her." Selena smiled at the memory. "Anyways, um, its been abandoned for seven years and it is blocked off. They were going to tear it down but it was going to cost too much money."
"Do you think the four of could take them?"
"I know we can." Selena got up from the couch and the other girl did the same. She grabbed her phone off the couch and put it in her back pocket. "We'll go to the Talon first, then we'll call for your brother and my mom." The younger girl nodded. "Let's go outside so we can take off." The two girls walked into the backyard. "Are you ready?"
"Do I have a choice?"
Selena lightly laughed and turned around so that her back was facing Demi. "Hop on and hold on really tight." Demi did as she was instructed. "Are you scared of heights?" The younger girl shook her head. "Alright, off we go." With a force, she took off into the sky. She was holding on the girl because she was flying at full speed. When they made it to the location, Selena was still hovering because she wanted to get to the open of apartment that was attached to the café. She helped Demi inside before she got inside herself.
"It's really dusty in here." Demi said as she swiped her finger over a table that had accumulated a lot of dust.
"Well, like I said, it's abandoned." She walked further inside, away from the window. "Call for Wyatt while I call my mother." Selena pulled out her phone and dialed her mother's number.
Demi moved away from the older girl. "Wyatt!" She waited for a couple of seconds before her brother appeared right in front of her.
"Demi, are you okay?" Her older brother asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She looked at Selena, who was still on the phone and then looked back at her brother. "We have a situation. I don't know if mom told you already but Lex Luthor is up to no good."
"Yeah, my mom gave me the low down and I told her I would handle it." Wyatt crossed his arms. "Why are you involved in this?"
"Because she," She pointed to the older girl. "Has an inside informant. Plus, her mother was involved with the first running of the project. For her, this is personal."
Her brother nodded as he understood. "So what's the plan, sis?"
