Jenna sighed, looking over at Min.
"You sure about this?" She asked as Min sat with her legs crossed. Min groaned and shook her head.
"No. I'm not. But we have nothing to do. And we need to find out why Shin-Ra paid for this town. If it has anything to do with Angeal and Genesis, then I want to know." Min added. Jenna shuddered slightly for a moment.
"Why can't we ask them?"
"They might not tell us. Or they won't know." Min said and shrugged before shutting her eyes.
She had to go past everything. The explosion, Bahamut. She took a huge leap back in time, twenty-eight years earlier. She had spotted someone in then to follow, a young woman with long black hair. Someone had called her 'Gillian Hewley'. She was Angeal's mother. She worked at the Science Department of Shin-Ra. It was a lead.
Gillian was very beautiful, even in the white lab coat. She walked with a professional stride, adding to her appearance. She approached the other man in a white lab coat.
"Hollander...about the project...I'm in."
The rest was a blur. Cells from some sort of organism were injected into her womb. She became pregnant...nine months later a boy was born.
Angeal.
But the mayor's wife also gave birth. Gillian's Jenova injected cells had been placed in her womb. On the same day Angeal was born, the mayor's wife gave birth.
Genesis.
Min focuses harder, back to the origin of the cells, that organism, that entity...
Jenova.
It was strange. The woman looked just like Min, but she was more regal, and clad in armor. She faced a woman who resembled Jenna...but wasn't. She held herself in a cold stance, her face emotionless as the other woman spoke.
"Jenova! We welcomed you to this world, our home," She cried out, hand over her heart, "But you have done nothing but kill the Children of this world, the Cetra!" The second woman chuckled, and Min observed her skin was pale blue.
"Sweet, innocent, beautiful Minerva. You wish to believe this idea of yours...that everyone has light left in them. I do not. I do not feel for those deaths. It amuses me that you still hope I will see 'the error in my ways'..." Jenova threw her head back, laughing manically.
"Jenova!" Minerva shouted, drawing her sword, a rapier. "I do not want to kill you, but I will not let you kill this planet's children-my family!" She shouted before charging Jenova. Jenova laughed, summoning a Masamune. Sparks flew from their swords, a flash...
"Omega, now!"
"MIN!"
Min's eyes shot open and she released a scream in her terror and sat straight up. Genesis knelt in front of her, but before she could read his expression Jenna tackled her back to the ground.
"You're safe...thank god....I was worried...you fell over...paled...then you turned cold." Jenna sobbed hysterically. Min blinked and hugged her quickly, patting her back.
"I'm fine. I'm okay." She avoided thinking about what she saw. Jenna would hear her.
Jenna wouldn't have heard her though, glancing at where Genesis was speaking with Angeal. She hadn't mistaken his thoughts...he was still thinking them. Be she the Goddess Minerva or just Min...she is mysterious. What did her friend tell us about her condition?"
