You try to focus on your work but you can't stop thinking about that weird girl (C.C.) in your dream last night...
Most people think it's because of The events yesterday...but you don't think you can keep this a secret from your wife... she won't judge you too harshly if another girl is in your dreams...Right?
It's not like you found the Green Haired Girl attractive or anything...
You are happily Married to Cornelia... The emperor would probably turn your insides outside if you were having an affair... It's just more what she (C.C) said to you in that dream... something about a contract or something?
You bring it up to your wife as you both get breakfast.
"Hello my love" she smiles at you as she bites into a apple "What is it that's troubling you?
You say "Last night I had this... Dream I guess you could say... And there was this girl, maybe around 16, with Green hair...Eating Pizza Hut... She was mad at me because I killed someone she had a contract with..."
Your Wife's facial expression changes immediately "I see" she says in a quiet voice.
Cornelia puts down her apple "And that troubles you?
You say "It's just... I don't think it was just a dream... I don't know who that weird girl was... but I feel like it has something to do with me killing Zero last night"
Your Wife puts her arm around you and speaks to you normally "It was just a dream, I'm sure of it" she says "and that person probably has nothing to do with it"
You say "I don't think that Green Haired Girl was a person... It felt...older, like some H.P. Lovecraft shit..."
"Well, that would make perfect sense" Cornelia replies sarcastically. "That some creepy dead girl from the past come to haunt you."
You say "No, you see I'mnot sure who he was in this world, but in my World he wrote horror stories, specifically ones about ancient beings... Elder Gods whose true forms can drive mortal minds insane"
Your Wife listens intently "Well... I mean that's really deep..."
You say "and I may have pissed her off... I ranted about how Pizza Hut still existing despite this timeline being so different, was 'Lazy Writing', and called her a 'Fucking Loli Freddy Krueger'... "
"Oh my God!" Cornelia laughs out loud.
You say "I feel a lot better telling someone about this... Just Know one thing Lia, I only have eyes for you..."
"Of course" Cornelia smiles and kisses you before taking her breakfast to the table.
After you eat, you begin your walk through the ghetto.
Most of the people have at least grown used to the sight of you, The Britannian with the glowing circle in his chest, who speaks their language and cares for them.
At one one point a few teens come to try and mug you, but then they recognize who you are and decide against it...
When you walk by an abandoned warehouse, you think you see a glimpse of a green haired girl... you decide to ignore it, besides in this world, Green hair isn't that unusual...(Your Wife has Purple hair, after all)
You see a construction crew working on rebuilding some of the houses, they stop to wave at you, and you wave back... Soon you see Suzaku talking with a young girl with Pink hair... It's Euphemia.. You wonder how she is... The girl looks fairly well taken care of.
You arrive at the Church and take your place among the crowd of people. Soon the large wooden doors open and you see your loved ones...
You see a construction crew working on rebuilding some of the houses, they stop to wave at you, and you wave back... Soon you see Suzaku sitting on a bench talking to Euphemia (Cornelia's little sister)
You decide to walk up to the both of them, (consider it karma for back when Euphimia walked in on You and Cornelia that one time).
You say "Hello, Euphemia, Hello Suzaku..."
Suzaku begins panicking, and Euphemia just looks a bit embarassed...
Suzaku begins panicking, and Euphemia just looks a bit embarassed...
Euphemia begins blushing and stuttering.
"E... E... Em... Em..." she begins
"What?" you ask confused.
"Erm... n-n-nothing!"
You say "Now you know how I felt when you walked in on Me and Lia..."
"Whaaaaa!" Suzaku says in his high pitched voice.
You say "Long story... Anyway Suzaku, I heard you were on stand-by outside the hotel last night...They were just about to send in the military weren't they, before I got everyone out.."
"Y-y-yes... L-l-look I d-don't want to a- argue, so if you l-leave m-me al-alone..."
You nod and walk away...
You say "Have fun you two love birds..."
You watch them for a bit, and they do indeed look like they are very much in love.
Euphemia looks at him with adoration, and he is clearly enjoying her company as he smiles at her.
Then an elderly waiter walks up beside you. He has grey hair and a bushy mustache. He looks at Euphemia and Suzaku and says "I'm so happy to see those two together, they were always one of my favorites"
Something about this waiter seems familiar. You shake your head and decide to go back to walking, after a few hours you head back towards the Viceroy's palace, to give your report to Cornelia and see if there's any paperwork for you in your office
Your Wife is a Cool Boss... You lean back in your Office chair, your laptop playing John Denver softly, as you look through the paperwork for the day... There isn't really any. Cornelia is still busy doing Viceroy things, so you just decide to relax and listen to the late musician, singing softly about Colorado Mountains and Country Roads...Soon It's time for dinner, Euphemia is looking at you nervously, while Cornelia is smileing warmly at you...
You say "Hey Lia..? I saw the strangest thing today..."
"Go on...
You say "I think Euphemia has a boyfriend"
Euphemia's cheeks turn as pink as her hair in embarassment... Cornelia raises her eyebrow and asks her sister, "So then Euphemia...Who is it..."
"I c-c-can't d-d-don't!" Euphemia stutters. "It's S-S-Suzaku! He is the one!"
"Oh... So how did that happen?"
"We met.. before the hotel last night, and after you got us out, I realized he was the one..."
Cornelia raises her eyebrow further, and asks "If you love him, why are you so afraid to say it..."
Euphemia looks around before saying, "Because he's... Because he's... not Britannian, he's an...Eleven"
You just smile at her, and Cornelia takes a deep Breath before saying "I know I'm not as...Liberal, as my Husband, but If he makes you happy, that's all that matters to me..."
"Thank you sister! I love you too!" Euphemia says and hugs her.
The three of you finish your dinner in comfortable silence, before heading to bed.
You and Princess Cornelia go to the bed you share...While Euphemia goes to her bed...
You hope that tonight you won't dream about that strange girl (C.C.) again.
You both enter the bed together, and start to embrace each other.
Soon you drift off into the realm of Dreams, and you see her... Eating her Pizza Hut, and now she's wearing a Freddy Krueger sweater... That Green haired girl (C.C.) is here to bother you in your sleep again...
You say "What do you want..."
C.C. doesn't answer, and just stares at you. You don't know what's going through her head, but you start to feel uneasy...
You say "I know you aren't human... so what are you exactly?"
She just smiles and says "I think you answered it best when you called me 'Some H.p. Lovecraft Shit'... To your understanding, You could call me an Elder God... or you could call me C.C."
you can't help but quip "Isn't that the name of one of Pizza Hut's competitors?"
C.C. nods slowly as she finishes off the slice of Pizza she had taken from the slice she was eating earlier.
You say "Look, I'm sorry for snapping at you last night... Just if you're going to do unspeakable things to me... Swear you'll leave Cornelia and Her Family out of it..."
She looks at you for a while, before replying. "I'm not here to torture your feeble human mind... nor am I here to harm your Wife or her younger sister...
I've been observing you today... I must say, you are quite interesting...I have an offer for you...An offer of a Geass..."
Her tone suddenly becomes more serious.
You say "That's a made up word"
C.C. shakes her head. "All words are made up" she replies with a smirk before continuing "A Geass is a Special unique power..." Suddenly a golden glove with six stones materializes on her hand, "You could have powers equal to that of this item from your world's fiction..." She holds it up to you.
"However" She quickly adds "You will also have to swear loyalty and obedience to me."
She slowly takes the glove off, exposing her palm, which is now bare.
You say "I'm sorry...but I'm not interested...No one man should have that much power...Especially not the power of Six Infinity Stones, But I do Know of someone who would be worthy of becoming this World's Captain America...Someone who's a bit of a Runt, but he's got a good heart... Suzaku Kururugi.. like me, He wants to change Britannia from within..."
C.C. looks at you for a while, as if considering your statement.
"Well... You at least are being sincere..." She replies after a moment.
She asks you something "Where do your loyalties lie...Han Quill? With Cornelia and Her Sister, With the Country you Call home, with the downtrodden you stick up for or with the Emperor you call father-in-law..."
You laugh at that last bit... Before asking "can he Read my Mind?"
C.C. says cryptically "not yet"
You say "Good then I can say... I don't consider him my father-in-law, and I believe the feeling is mutual... I don't think Cornelia sees him as her dad either...it's not just that he's always working... It's that he's just like Yondu said about Ego...He is a Jackass... and he may be her father, but he sure isn't her daddy..."
C.C. nods in agreement "That about sums it up"
"I'd Say my Loyalties lie With All the People of Britannia... Not only the elite, but those that others look down on...and to Cornelia and Euphimia of course..." you add
C.C. Then gives you a mysterious smile "So, If I told you that to Save Britannia and her people, you had to kill The Emperor... Would you do it?"
You say "How would I know that it wouldn't lead to further Instability..."
C.C. chuckles and says "You're thinking too much like someone born in this world...You have the knowledge to try and make work what was never successful in this timeline...In order to secure a more perfect Union..as the founding fathers of your timeline said..."
Thats when you understand what she means... C.C. wants you to reform Britannia as a Republic... Like the United States...
You say "I just hope Cornelia will forgive me for this..."
C.C. says "If she loves you, as much as you love her...then she will forgive you...
"This world's timeline has changed...Your presence has altered things..." C.C. says while eating another slice of her pizza...
She smirks and says "Lets see how much It can change...I've got a geass to offer to Suzaku now...but I'll keep in touch..." she says before leaving...
You wake up... and you wonder how your going to break this to Cornelia...
