Chapter 34: Emily's Sky Part 3: A Song About Emily

Emily's Home, 7 AM, July 30th

Abel finished making and putting on his clothes, black cargo pants, ankle high military boots, and tucked in a white muscle shirt and held an olive drab shirt. But before he put it on, he stared at his left arm, the black, oily limb being a dead giveaway of who he was.

So Abel quickly grabbed a roll of bandages from the bathroom and wrapped his entire arm and hand up. He flexed his fingers as the substance filled in the loose spaces until it fit tightly, then he put on the olive shirt and looked at his last piece to put on. He looked at a special set of contact lenses Angela left for him and put them on, hiding his substance eye under a convincing glass lens as he stared at himself in the mirror.

He sighed, and focused a little bit, then opened his eyes to see Hana's room as he asked her "You there?" Hana blinked and looked around, then closed her eyes and looked through Abel's eyes as she asked "I don't know. Are you gonna push me out like last time?" Abel sighed and told her as she stared at his reflection "I'm sorry... I just didn't want you to go deeper into that memory... I'm gonna do something today, and... I want your permission."

Hana was flushed as she asked him "Why do you need my permission? What are you gonna do? Fly to Busan?" Abel replied by letting Hana into his memories, mainly the day prior to show her what he was referring to. Hana watched the memory and then went silent, making Abel ask "Do you see why I'm asking for your permission." Hana inhaled, and told Abel "I may not be able to do something about it... But I do see your point... And you did have the decency of asking first... And I can feel how you get around Emily..."

She sighed and reluctantly told him "I'll allow it... But please, for the love of God... Don't ruin Lena's relationship with Emily..." Abel nodded, and told Hana "I promise... Now, extend your hand out..." Hana was confused for a moment, but did so as Abel imitated her movements and told her "Feel what I feel... I know you have some substance in you... And I will show you to use it..."

Hana felt a burning sensation under her skin, seeing the black lines under her skin running down her arm as it reached her palm, where the heat continued to rise until she was panting with some pain as the black liquid secreted out of her pores. She felt the cool relief as the black gunk formed in her hand, shapeless as Abel told her "Put your other hand against it, and think of something... A shape..."

Hana nodded, and started thinking of something easy she could make, and then crushed the substance in her hands, pulling it to be flat and long. Abel felt as her movements shaped a rudimentary shiv, making him remark "Good... Practice your molding... And don't worry about the details... The substance will slowly remember how to take shape from pure memory."

Hana nodded, disconnected from Abel then looked at the gut knife in her hand, and ran her finger along it's edge, feeling it's sharpness as Yuna knocked and asked "Hana, are you busy?" Hana hid the knife, and replied "I.. I'll be out in a sec!" Meanwhile, Abel went downstairs to find both Lena and Emily waiting by the doorway.

Abel looked at them, Lena and Emily both gave an awkward smile as Lena told him "Umm we're ready to go." Abel nodded and stepped outside, where he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small Ford M151 "Mutt" and threw it in front of himself and watched it expand into a life size Jeep.

Both women watched silently as Lena asked "Is this what you've been working on during the nights?" Abel nodded and gave a quick "Yup." as he got on the driver's seat and turned the engine on, then told them "Hop on, we got a long way to go." Lena put on her aviators, took Emily's hand and both got on the back seats, allowing him to drive down the road.

When they arrived at the highway did Abel look at them with the rear view mirror, finding Emily already flushed as Lena held her hand reassuringly. Abel sighed as he continued driving towards London, wind blowing his hair back as he continued speeding through the highway, unaware that Lena was staring at him as she told Emily "It'll be fine."

It took them an hour, to arrive at the heart of London, mainly across the street from Westminster Abbey, as Lena and Emily hopped off. Abel shrunk the jeep back down then pocked it, then looked at both of them as Lena approached him with Emily holding onto her arm as Lena told him with an uneasy smile "Let's go then."

Abel motioned with an outstretched arm and told them "Ladies first." causing them to chuckle as Emily outstretched her free arm, allowing herself to hold Abel's arm as the three walked together across the street and into the Abbey.

They looked around the massive gothic cathedral, with Emily showing Abel the Tomb of The Unknown Warrior, making him sigh and give a moment of silence, followed by Lena escorting them out and across the street. Two streets later did they arrive at a cafe a little ways northwest of the Abbey, where they inhaled, and entered, hoping nobody recognized them.

Lena walked up to the counter while Emily and Abel both took a seat near the back, where he asked her "Emily... Why do you find it hard to believe that I like you?" Emily instantly felt herself sink into her chair, feeling her stomach flutter as Lena arrived.

Lena was sitting to Emily's right while Abel sat to her left, both looking at Emily as she swallowed the lump in her throat, and replied by asking "Actually, I wanted to know why either of you would be interested in someone like me? I'm nothing special, just another person."

Abel and Lena both replied simultaneously "Because you helped me when I most needed it-" then turned to look at one another. Emily blinked, then Abel let Lena speak first "Look love... Yes, you might just be a normal person, but I love you for it. You make me feel like I'm not some bloody freak that should have stayed in a cell..." Abel added to that point "Likewise, you don't see us just for the things we can do and have done... You see us a actual people."

Abel and Lena both held one of Emily's hands each, causing the red head to blush intensely as Lena and Abel both told Emily "I love you." making her go red from ear to ear. Lena giggled while Abel smiled and felt a dull stinging sensation on the side of his head, making him look around to not find anyone.

The three of them enjoyed their drinks as the minutes ticked away, Emily and Lena enjoying tea while Abel had coffee. After fifteen minutes they paid and left northwards, towards St James's Park, Lena and Emily arm in arm while Abel walked behind them, looking around as he quickly stopped and told Damien "Not today, I refuse to fight..."

Abel continued walked as Damien stood about three feet from where Abel stopped, and told him "One day little brother... One day." Abel gave him a thumbs up and hurried to Emily and Lena, finding them both sitting on a bench kissing, making him smile a bit.

He stood a small ways from the bench, getting Lena's attention as she told Emily in a whisper "One sec Love." She hurried over to Abel and whispered something to his ear that made him look at her with a surprised look, then got a small nod from Lena as he sighed and nodded back. Lena then walked over to Emily and told her "Gotta use the lav."

Emily nodded, and noticed Abel sitting next to her now, and asked him "What did Lena say?" Abel swallowed as he told her "She, uh... She told me I should try to... kiss you..." Both were beat red as a brief moment of silence passed them, until Emily admitted "W.. well... Hana said you're a gentle kisser."

Abel was the one to go red now, making Emily chuckle as he looked at her, both going silent as Abel leaned closed to her, Emily able to feel the warmth radiating off him as he leaned close and pressed his lips against hers. Emily was the one blushing now as she felt his lips gingerly peck hers, her hand instinctively holding onto his like it would with Lena as she returned the kiss with a small amount of force.

Abel held her hand tightly as she gently scooted closer and deepened the kiss, placing her free hand on his cheek until a flash caused them both to freeze and go wide eyed. They turned to find Lena smiling with her phone in one hand as she giggled and told them "You two should see your faces."

Abel and Emily both were red as tomatoes, making Emily yell "T.. that's not funny!" but Abel smiled and let it slide, knowing that Emily would get back at Lena somehow.

But, as the three talked about what to do next, Damien stood behind a tree, watching them as he wondered just what the hell was Abel doing. He watched them as Abel and Lena both took Emily's hands and walked through the park together, heading east towards London Bridge. Emily and Lena both smiled as Abel looked out to the Thames, leaning against the guard rail as Lena snapped another photo, making him turn to look at the smiling pilot.

Abel rolled his eyes with a smile and asked "You guys lived near here, right?" Emily nodded excitedly and told Abel "Yes, over at King's Row, about ten minutes away from here." making Abel ask "Can we stop by there?" Lena smirked and replied "Of course love, but you'll have to beat me there first!" Lena zipped ahead of them, making Abel pick up Emily on his back and teleport after Lena, making Emily blush but giggle to no end.

Abel smiled as he teleported over the street and onto the next building, all the while Emily finally got to see how Abel moved around so quickly through his eyes, seeing his split second reaction time and the ways his teleportation worked. Abel stared at the apartment building Emily was pointing at and rushed towards the edge, but right as he was about to teleport again he felt his body ache, causing him to just jump without teleporting.

Emily was about to scream, but Abel quickly put his hands together and made a long and flat piece of substance, using it as a glider as Emily had her arms wrapped around Abel's neck and her legs around his waist.

Lena was already exiting the alleys as Abel glided above her, avoiding balconies and cables in the process. Lena frowned and zipped around the corner, while Emily instructed Abel when to turn and where to go. Lena saw the apartment building and zipped towards it, just as Abel dropped off the glider to the front doors.

There was a loud assortment of noises as the three groaned, all sprawled on the lobby, with Emily at the top, Lena under her her, and Abel on the bottom. Emily groaned, got off them and asked "Are you two okay?" and got her reply when she noticed that Lena was bright red, same as Abel, as their faces were pressed one against the other's when they crashed.

Emily was frozen for a split second, but pulled her phone out and took a photo, making Lena go a darker shade of red as she told Lena "You should see the look on your face~"

- Theme Ends -

Lena kicked herself up and zipped to Emily, trying to take the phone, unaware that she kinda stomped on Abel in the process. He watched as they headed upstairs, forgetting that he was still there as he muttered "... Nah... Let them enjoy it..." then laid back down groaning.

MEKA HQ, Busan, South Korea, 7 PM

Hana smiled as she laid on her bed, her body ached like hell, but she was content as she asked "How did the date go?" Abel was on the other end as he replied "Well, you can have a look if you want." Hana entered his memory, while she smiled at the sight, Yuna watched from the doorway.

Hana chuckled at the end and asked him "You got away with kissing Lena? Jeez, here i thought I got into scandals." Abel groaned as he finally got up and headed up to Emily's apartment, asking Hana "You ain't mad?" She sighed as she sat up and told him "Not really, but when we meet again you are definitely taking me out on a date."

Abel was up the third flight of stairs as he replied to that "Of course... Now, if you don't mind... I never asked Emily which room she was staying at..." Hana started laughing like an idiot, then let a snort slip, making Abel ask "Did you just-?" but she instantly shot back while blushing furiously "NO!" as Abel wandered the apartment complex like a stray dog, going from floor to floor until he found Lena and Emily waiting for him.
