*Later at Tucker's house*
"Who's up for a beer?" Tucker said, exhausted. "Actually, I think I'm gonna head out." Jordan said back. "Come on, Jordan," Tom complained, "just hang out with us for a few more hours. When was the last time we all actually went out and had a good time?" "I appreciate it, Tom, but it's been a long day. I just want some sleep." The tired Jordan said. "It's cool. Go get some rest. We've all been through a lot today, especially you." Sonja reassuringly said to him with a smile. "Goodnight, guys." Jordan said as he waved to them. "Night." Sonja said. "Goodnight, man." Tucker said carrying some beer. Tom then waved and said, "Yeah, goodnight, Jardon." Jordan walked out and climbed into his car.
When he got in, he rubbed his eyes and looked at his hand that pulled the trigger earlier. He clenched his hand and began driving. A little bit later, Ianite suddenly appeared in the passenger seat. "Jesus!" He yelled as he jumped. "Sorry for scaring you." She said back. Jordan shook it off and said, "It's fine, My Lady." "Question, if I may…why do you call me 'My Lady?'" She asked. "To be honest," he shrugged, "I don't know. I guess I just said it one day, and it stuck. If you don't wanna be called that, I can just stick with Ianite." "No, no, I like it." "Now, I have a question for you. When did you wake up? Was it during the bridge incident?" "Truthfully, Jordan…I was never asleep. I only acted unconscious to see what you would do if you thought I was."
Jordan's heart started to beat faster. "So, um, you knew what was going on from when you crashed in downtown to the bridge incident?" "Yep." Ianite couldn't see it in the darkness, but Jordan's face was turning bright red. "Oh…" There was a long pause filled with awkward silence. Trying to change the subject, Jordan said, "So what do you do for fun?" "Well," Ianite said, "I love to read and write. What about you?" "Well, my hobbies are also kind of my job. I make gaming videos on YouTube and stream games on Twitch. One of my series I do is Mianite with Tom, Tucker, and Sonja." "Neat!" "Yeah, it's pretty gnarbuckle." As he said this, Ianite giggled. Before they knew it, they were back at Jordan's place.
As they got out of the car, he said, "You're welcome to chill at my place if you want." "Thank you, Jordan, but I also am going to get some rest. My brothers have told me the clouds are even comfier than pillows." Jordan smiled and said, "Goodnight, My Lady." Ianite smiled and kissed Jordan on the cheek. "Goodnight, my hero." Right after she said that, she vanished. Jordan just stood there, motionless with his mouth open. Did that…just happen? He walked into the lobby, still in shock. He stepped into the elevator and leaned against the wall as the doors closed. He laughed to himself and smiled.
Suddenly, his phone went off. He reached for it and hesitated about answering it until he realized it was his mom calling. He gave in and answered it. "Hello?" He asked. "Jordan! Oh, thank God!" His mom said with a sigh of relief. "Mom, what's wrong?" He asked as he walked out of the elevator. "What's wrong!? What's wrong is that I come home to see you on the TV nearly being killed!" He then walked into his apartment. "Mom, I'm fine. Listen, I can't be on the phone long. I shouldn't even be on it now. The people from the C.I.A. have ordered my friends and me not to communicate with anyone electronically."
"Just tell me what is going on, Jordan." He sighed and said, "Today, I was attacked by aliens who were sent here to kill my friends and me. Another race of aliens is at war with them and need our help. They somehow brought the gods from our Mianite series to life. The aliens trying to kill us are gonna destroy this world with us." "Stop making up stories, Jordan." "I'm telling the truth. You can ask the C.I.A. if you want." "Fine…just promise me you're safe." "I promise." "Goodnight, Jordan." "Goodnight, Mom." He hung up the phone with a sigh. "This is gonna be a long week."
