"Some people never change." She said and looked me into the eyes again. They were filled with experience. She was now one of the trainers along with Doc, Wong and me. Mordo never came back even after 4 and half years. But now all I was thinking was about starting a new life. Finally.
"By the way, how long was I out?" I asked. She slapped me, AGAIN and said, "2 whole goddamn weeks!" and continued with a Lecture. Man is she good at giving lectures. I am pretty sure I slept after the first few sentences.
CHAPTER - 6
Happy life
Jaden
(Time skip- 4 and half years, i.e. 5 years after the tesseract incident and 9 years after the doctor Strange movie.)
I just finished training the last batch. I was extremely tired when I felt someone tapping my leg. I turned to see a particular 3 year old, black haired girl with sparkling kaleidoscope eyes which turned many colors just like her mother. But were sea blue unlike her mother's sea green.
"Hey sweetheart. What can I do for you?" I asked coming down to one knee.
"Dad, you know I'm not a baby." Bianca said.
"Yes Bi. I am perfectly aware of it. Give this man a chance to annoy his daughter." I said. She rolled her eyes.(AN: Bi is pronounced as be)
"Okay. What happened?" I asked, getting up.
"Doc called. He told me to get you and mum. He also said it was something important."
"Let's go then." We found Angel in the other training area.
"Mom!" Bianca screamed. Angel came jogging towards us. And, yes. Bianca called me Dad and Angel Mom. That's exactly what happened. After my accident on a mission we dated for 4 months before getting married and then we had Bianca. 3 years passed since then. Bianca was being home-schooled by Angel.
Bianca is no less than her mother though she is only 3 years old. After she was born Hecate gave her a gift similar to that of Angel's. She had a bracelet which turned into any weapon on thought and fit Bianca at any age and it was called nivalis. Hecate also gave me a similar weapon when Angel and I got married, but it was a watch instead of a bracelet. I mastered Sword, daggers, Archery and guns. Angel trained me in it. My weapon was called Nero.
Bianca also trained with Blackjack and Midnight. She got all of Angel's powers and also has the ability to absorb the power she faces or has. It seems that Hecate has grown fond of Angel and they kind-of became best friends. I realized that I zoned out when Angel was shaking my shoulder wildly and waving her other hand in front of my face.
"What happened to you?" She asked.
"Nothing. Let's go." I said and left with Angel and Bianca close behind me.
We met Doc in the central room of Kamar-Taj. (AN: where Wong explains about the infinity stones.) He looked nervous.
"What happened Dad?" Angel asked.
"Angel-" Doc started. "The gods summoned us for a meeting on Olympus. Tonight." Now I understood why he looked nervous. Bringing up the topic of the gods is not very good in-front of Angel.
"I'm not going." She said firmly.
"They called the whole team." Doc said. And yeah, we sort-of turned into THE team of sorcerers.
"Tell them I stayed back to take care of some important business." She said.
"But-" Doc started but met her glare which by the way is very scary. "Okay. Changing your mind is impossible." See, even Doc gives up on trying to convince her.
Angel stayed back and the 2 of us went to Olympus via Sling ring. I covered my face with the new mask Angel made for me. It covers the lower half of my face and is made up of Nano-tech just like my old one but with Julia. I didn't think my armor was necessary. The gods were bickering and arguing about something and the other Demigods who were sitting on miniature thrones beside them were waiting for them to finish. I put up my hood and elbowed Doc.
"I hope we are not interrupting you all." Doc said loudly.
"Who dares to interrupt the meeting of the gods?" The king- Zeus I think- asked.
"We are the Sorcerers my lord. If you do not want us here, we shall take leave." I said.
"Oh! We have been waiting for you." A lady with blond hair and grey eyes said.
"That is Athena." Julia said in my ear. But it wasn't Julia's voice, it was Angel's. She was speaking to us using the AI earpiece.
"Now that that is settled let us tell you about us since you do not know." Zeus stated. Doc and I were about to say that we do know when Angel's voice rung in our ears, "Do not object. They shouldn't know that I knew about them."
"Wait, I thought there were 3 of you." A Blonde god said. He had a golden bow and a quiver full of golden arrows next to him.
"Angel stayed back to take care of some important business." Doc said.
"Then how will she know what is going on here?" A goddess with a silver bow and quiver asked.
"I have a blessing to see anything I want in all space." Angel said.
"She has a blessing that she can see anything she wants in all space, so she would be observing our meeting." I answered.
"I thought there were 14 Olympians, but there are only 13 here." Doc said.
"How do you know?" a shadowy god asked.
"We do know something about the gods from the Mythology." Doc covered up.
"Let us Begin the meeting." Zeus' voice echoed through the hall. Everyone fell quiet.
"Will you 2 introduce yourself and your absent partner?" Zeus said.
"I am Doctor Steven Strange, the master of mystic arts. Angel is the one who is absent and she is my daughter." You know who said that, right.
"You're lying. She isn't your daughter." Blonde god said again.
"Fine. She is my adopted daughter." Doc retorted.
"I am Storm. That is like my code name. I don't reveal my real name or my face to anyone except the sorcerers." I said.
"Why don't you?" Athena asked.
"It reminds me of my past."
"Is Angel the real name of your daughter?" She asked Doc.
"That is the name she gave herself since her parents are no more. She didn't want to be reminded of her past as well. Angel is short for Angelina." I replied.
"You lied when you said her parents were no more." Blond god said again.
"Her parents abandoned her for no logical reason so she thinks them dead." I said getting annoyed. I hope he shuts up.
"You haven't answered my question Lord Zeus, why are there only 13 Olympians here?" Doc said.
"My brother Poseidon is very depressed about the death of his daughter and never came out ever since he got to know that she died 9 years ago."
"His daughter?" I asked.
"Yes. She was the greatest hero we had on our side. Her name was Percillia Jackson." The 3 of us were shocked. Just then I heard someone sobbing behind me. I turned to see a woman with brown-grey hair and blue eyes. A girl, looking similar to her, came to her and hugged her.
"That woman is Sally Blofis. She is Perci's mother and has high hopes that she will return one day. And the girl is Estelle Blofis. Perci's half-sister. Estelle was gifted with godly powers of Poseidon and Sally can enter the Greek/Roman world anytime, but we regret the loss of Perci." He said and there was silence for a moment. I could feel Angel trying to control her anger on the other side.
"Let us get to the matter. My son Apollo-" He said pointing towards the Blond god, "- has revealed a prophecy concerning the gods and you are involved in it. Apollo, if you please." Blond God- Apollo- stood up and said-
AN: And….. Cliffhanger, as always. R&R for next chapter.
