Trunks kept glaring at Elata as she took off. When she was out of sight, he let out a deep breath that he didn't know he was keeping in. He then turned around and decided to head back home.
"Where did she come from? If only I asked her first" he wondered in remorse. Just like any other person, he was curious about whom she is and where did she come from.
Caught in his trail of thoughts, Trunks reached his house where he got in after releasing a sigh, releasing all his vexation and questions. He headed straight to the kitchen where his mother and sister were. Bra was doodling on a piece of paper with her headphones on while his mother was enjoying her cup of coffee.
She turns around to face her beloved son; she gives him a welcoming smile.
"You're back soon," she commented, as she got up and started setting the table for lunch.
"Yeah. I am," he replied mechanically, but his mother was no fool, she noticed something was wrong with her son. She looked at him with concerned eyes and said:
"What's wrong, Trunks? You seem a little down today." Vegeta entered the kitchen right after she finished.
"You seem pretty fine for a kid who woke up sick this morning," he commented irritably. Trunks was a little bit anxious in the presence of his father.
"I umm…Frankly, I woke up sick, but I feel better now," the kid explained with a sheepish smile. Trunks was telling the truth, however. He wasn't able to go to school today because he woke up with a sore throat and a headache, it was enough for Bulma to let him stay home, but it wasn't enough for Vegeta to let him take a break from training. Vegeta then said:
"Is that so? I expect you to be in the GR soon,"
"But before you do so," his mother said, "I want to know what's wrong with you. You look kind of disappointed. Why is that?" she added as she took a seat on the table,
"Umm…I don't know. The weirdest thing just happened to me today," Trunks went on saying as he played with his food with a fork,
"This should be interesting," Bulma commented. She had seen queerer things; she doubted that he could top her,
"I wasn't sure what was going on. I was in the garden taking some fresh air when all of a sudden I felt something. It was quite powerful. A power level that was far away from here…" and at that moment his story caught everyone's attention, especially Vegeta's, who seemed at first disinterested, "I was curious about the source of that energy. So I flew towards it, and before I knew it, that source was heading my way! So I hid in a near bush, waiting quietly. A woman flew down looking around. I knew she was the source of that power level. I didn't want her to notice me, so I kept hiding. But sadly she did notice me she even threatened me! She told me her name is Elata and…" at the sound of her name, Vegeta's stomach started aching as he slammed the table with his fist yelling:
"She's still here?" Trunks was puzzled at his father's reaction, while Bulma only giggled quietly telling Trunks to continue,
"Well. Anyways, we were getting ready to fight; she didn't seem to be terrified at all. She looked at me as if I was her training dummy. But before she could use any attack she paused and asked me if I had a medicine for a friend of hers. I was confused, but couldn't help but to believe her, so I gave her my Senzu Beans,"
It was a noble thing he did, but his father disapproved. He stood up, his veins almost popping out of his head. Trunks was no fool, he knew that his father was hiding something.
"In the end we didn't fight, she just flew away," he thought his words might sweeten his father's bitterness, but he only made it worst,
"Calm down, Vegeta. You should be proud," Bulma told her point of view,
"Proud? He should have killed her. Now she might be using the beans for her own selfish reasons," Vegeta said in his normal tone trying to keep his anger under controlled.
"She's good. The planet is still fine," Bulma rolled her eyes, already getting tired of this conversation, "She's not selfish, she's a very good person. I can feel it," she added, causing Vegeta to look at his daughter, who so far hasn't displeased him this morning. He thought about how selfish he thinks Elata is and how much his daughter likes her. He thought if she was truly selfish she would have never stayed and told his daughter a bedtime story last night. For a moment there he felt convinced that Elata wasn't as bad as he made her to be, but he shook his head losing that thought.
"She'll never be good," he said under his breath as he exited the room. Bulma followed him.
"Where are you going?" she asked while looking at him as he opened the front door,
"I warned her not to talk, see, or touch my kids. Now she has to pay for it," he managed to say it very calmly. But his calmness sent shivers up and down Bulma's spine. She felt uneasy.
"What? Are you crazy?" she yelled at him, but he was not willing to stay and listen to another word. He didn't want to be convinced to stay, because he knew it was possible and he didn't want to. Vegeta took a flight and headed straight to Goku's house. He was able to feel her power level from couple of miles away. He smirked satisfyingly.
