Chapter 3
Reeves POV
The first thing I realized was that I was on the floor. The second is that I had a splitting headache and 3rd cloud and tiffa had just entered the living room hands intwined and you didn't have to be a rocket scientest to tell that their hearts were foreaver intwined as well. "Well Cloud, I assume that your situation has changed and tiffa you got one hell of a right hook even when you don't mean to."
End pov
At that cloud smiled broadly "cloud I don't think ive ever seen you smile quite that big before." Reeve said At this cloud blushed like a little school girl and hid his smile and tiffa burst out laughing. After a moment of hesitation cloud said, "well I think I accept your earlier offer. Ill have to talk with Tiffa first." Tiffa then looked to cloud with question in her eyes "cloud, Reeve did you offer him a position at Neo-Shinra?"
Reeve nodded and tiffa smiled, "that's wonderfull cloud which position are you taking?" then it was reeve who spoke up "Head of SOLDER", "Oh good the current head dosent do anything and he dosen't know the diffrence between a boat and a Broadsword" "well cloud you start in a month ok?" reeve asked cloud, " Yeah that's fine." Then Reeve left knowing that Tiffa and Cloud had some talking to do. After an hour they had decided that it would be best to hold off the wedding for just a little while. "So, do you work at Neo-Shinra all the time?" cloud asked, "no your job may become full time but mine isn't nearly full time I meet one time a month with my design staff for new power development and then once a year I tour all the old reactors and do what needs doing. Namely destroying monsters around the reactors. But in my spare time I run a bar called, made a little drumroll 7th heaven its realy popular but im the only one that works their even though I put out adds and stuff all the men usually end up getting fresh with me and make passes at me then I have to kick their asses. But I think I have a knew employee atleast when he's not busy with his other job." Cloud laughed and said, "and what makes you think that." "oh I have a certain pull with the guy, atleast I hope I do" cloud nodded and smiled then tiffa thought of something, "oh cloud everybody will be so happy to see you at the 5 year reunion cid brings the old highwind that he rebuilt around to all the cities and then we go someplace." Cloud looked puzzled, "the old highwind" tiffa simply replied "he built a knew prototype that's faster more lugsurious and has more facilities onboard but cid always brings the old one to go on our reunion" "oh" well I think its time to go to the bar and start up.
They got the bar ready just as the first person wandered in and his eyes immediately saw clouds Ultama Weapon but then he relised what was going on Tiffa had hired another bodyguard. "hey tiffa can I just get a burger and a beer?" tiffa nodded and said, "cloud would you get the beer?" suddenly the man's face stiffened, "your Cloud, Cloud Strife cloud?" Cloud simply nodded the man was astounded "holy shit your realy you! I got to go tell my friends!!!" with that he bolted leaving his beer and burger without even a moments heasatation. Tiffa could tell that he was angry at this turn of events as she could imagine he had a hard enough time talking about where he had been for the last 5 years with tiffa and he know had to deal with reporters and her bar was going to be packed, "damn!" they both said in unison and then they turned to eachother and laughed, "so what should we do you could leave for a while but the same problem would present itself." Cloud shook his head, "No I never ran not even from sephiroth and ill be damed if I will run from a damn camera crew." With that the matter seemed to have ended and he went back to polishing the bar's smooth surface. In about 30 minuets the entire news world and every nosy person was at tiffa's bar. Thank goodness that I made my new bar much bigger but still everyone was hardpressed to fit in. however tiffa was making more money than she ever had and it was good publicity but Cloud while trying to do his job of dispensing drinks was interrupted by the camera crews who were asking him a million questions and that's when cloud had had enough, "ENOUGH!!!" with that he pulled out his ultama weapon and sliced a camera in two nearly cutting of the man's nose in the process. "enough! I will tell you some of what you want to know alright!?" all the reporters looked scared but the nodded and the cameramen started filming, "First of all everyone back." He said in a more controlled tone as he put his Ultama Weapon away. "Now I will tell you where I have been I was Captured by a remote faction of the old shinra for 5 years. Now what questions?" at this there was scilence but slowly one began to speak up "Where you the leader of the group AVELANCHE?" cloud thought some moments and then responded "I guess you could say that but I just did what I had to and some people followed me" another reporter spoke up "ktcl Junon tv here is that all you reguard the AVELANCHE members as, just people?" "At first yes but over the course of our journey I have come to reguard them as my nearest friends." Another reporter, "then why did you leave after you saved the world and what does it feel like to be the savior of the world?" "I left because I was forced to do a horrible thing, to kill a friend" at this there was murmers "you mean sephiroth?" "yes, and if you only play part of this making me out to be the bad guy ill get you back for it. I know first hand what sephiroth has done ! he destroyed my hometown killed my mother killed a friend and nearly destroyed the entire world but it was not his fault an entite known as Jenova was responsible if you want more information go to nibrehem and find the Shinra Mansion got to the secret basement and there you will find what you want on the Jenova progect and about sephiroth. But he was my friend before all this madness started." The reporters were stuned in to silence but then one asked a question. What did the shinra do to you in those 5 years?" "no comment" was clouds instant response the reporters asked another question. "why did you save the world?" at this Cloud thought back to the highwind before everyone went home. "We all say that we do things to save the world shure it sounds good but whats the real reason behind it because withought pourpose the work becomes pointless." "so saving the world would become pointless if I didn't know the real reason behind It" "no saving the world in and of itself is a good cause but there is always a deeper reason in my case it was because I had to settle my vindetta with sephiroth." The reporters then only asked more casual questions until cloud grew tiered of it and said, "alright that's enough no more tonight". All the reporters seemed to respect his wishes and walked away. The rest of the night he recived congratulations and thanks from everyone. Finaly cloud went to pour a beer for a woman but none was forthcoming "crap, tiffa where do you keep the extra kegs?" tifa looked up as cloud pretended to toss around the keg as if it weighed nothing, tiffa laughed and responded, "its in the back on the left cloud went to the back and grabbed the keg and when he came back tiffa had a gun pointed at her face, "Ill tell you when I've had enough BITCH!" with that cloud set down the keg and drew his sword and hoped up on a table and jumped swinging on a rafter yelling out a magic command FREESE! The ice started at his feet but moved swiftly suddenly he felt the cold and looked down at his legs wich were now frozen but he turned to Tiffa and fired the gun (this all happened in les than a millisecond) The ice had reached his finger but too late then it frose the firing mechanisim but again too late it traveled down the barrel just too slowly the bullet headed to tiffa's head but then an inch short it stoped and quivered "TIFFA MOVE!" cloud was hanging from the rafter hand outstretched and every inch of energy was going in to stoping the bullets. Tiffa then dove out of the way and cloud moved the bullets to a window then let them go the glass shattered and a few women screamed meanwhile the cameras were rolling and the whole team in their towns saw it 2 hours later meanwhile cloud and Tiffa were cleaning up and the had the bar closed. "Well we may nearly be out of everything but we've made more money in one night than in a whole month and cloud thank you for saving my life by the way where did you put the #$%^&*^%$(*&&^* anyway?" cloud looked a little shocked but then again he had tried to kill her. "lets just say that the only things he's scaring is crows. The magic will wear out by morning and he'll melt by mid afternoon. I crushed his gun so he wont be a threat anymore." At this she laughed but then grew serious "cloud im sorry about tonight it must have been tourture for you with those camera crews." Yeah I would have rather sit with yuffie on a long flight but you cant pick your cards." Tiffa nodded, "by the way ive seen you move fast but that was even fast for you how did you do that and how did you hold those bullets in place?" cloud heasitated for a while and then said "its because of what hojo did to me he gave me the ability to move things with my mind, myself others, objects." Tiffa hesitated can you show me?" cloud heasitated and then put out his hand ward a dirty glass and washed it and dried it then put it away. "WOW! That's amazing!" do you use it on a regular basis like to grab your coat or to open your locked car door?" "yes I have to so don't be afraid to ask me to grab you something or do something, but if its ok with you I'd rather not talk about it, it brings up to many bad memories." At this tiffa nodded and said "well that's it lets go." With that they walked out.
A/N well Clouds new abilities come in very handy later on! Please review!
