Jabberwocky.
Verde brought the Jabberwocky home. Surprisingly, the black-winged boy only looked like he was seven. An age mature enough not to be supervised all the time, and yet the perfect age for the phase when 'Daddy loves me the best so I will please Daddy!' occurs.
Jabberwocky snuggled to Verde's chest, trying to not tickle Verde with his black feathers. But the Professor wasn't bothered by the wings. He actually was interested in it. "Um—"crap. Verde didn't know how to call the child. He said that his name is Jabberwocky, so what should he call him? Jabberwocky? Jabb? Jabber? Jabba? Wocky? All of them sounded weird to him. Like it wasn't a name he'd actually use to refer a human.
"S'r?" Jabberwocky tilted his head, Verde wanted to grunt at the boy for using gibberish language that he didn't understand. But, the green-haired professor receded. He's just a boy, a child! He probably couldn't talk well because he wasn't actually thought how to talk properly! Verde sighed.
Jabberwocky seemed to understand his anxiety, because he buried his head on Verde's chest. His hair ruffled against Verde's shaved chin. "Waaaaaaaa'm~" Jabberwocky gibbered. "Listen here, un, uh Jay," okay. Jay. That seemed like a good name. "I'm Verde. And I'm a scientist." A name is good, right? It's always good to start with a name.
"Ve'de?" Jabberwocky repeated, unsure. Verde sighed. "Yes, Verde." He really needed to teach this boy how to talk properly. "Ve'de!" The boy exclaimed as he hugged Verde's neck, this time he sounded sure and somehow happy. His feather tickled Verde, who, somehow, laughed. "Stop it, Jay." He said, still laughing.
It was honestly the happiest evening Verde had in a few years.
oOo
Dear Reborn,
How are you? I hope you're fine, and not doing any self-hating (teehee). Me? I'm fine, thank you very much. I'm writing this letter to you and the others. I'm pleased to inform you guys that I've found the cure for the Rainbow curse!
My years of wandering have finally paid off. I've been sniffing around the Estraneo for quite a while, and I heard that they stole something from the Vindice, and injected it to their greatest masterpiece: the Jabberwocky. It connected to the fact that Vindice have been researching about Rainbow curse for long. Who guessed that it's the cure they're developing? (haha)
And so, I came to a conclusion that the blood of Jabberwocky is what we needed as the cure of our curse. I already asked my family to help me find the Jabberwocky, how about you guys?
Well, I guess that's all. Take care of yourselves, okay?
Lots of love,
Luche.
Reborn took another look to the letter, despite knowing the letter from inside out. He twirled his fedora idly, making Leon jumped from the fedora to his lap. "Reborn," an old man greeted from behind. If it wasn't for his familiar voice, Reborn would have point his gun at him. "Ciaossu, Ninth." He said casually.
The boss of Vongola laughed and sat beside the hitman. Eventually, Reborn talked to him about Luche's letter. "Aah, I see. I've sent a team to find the Jabberwock. But, if you want to find it by yourself, I won't stop you."
Reborn smirked and put Leon back to his fedora. Ooh this will be a fun hunt indeed.
