Chapter 91: Real Angels
After showing off in that clearing, Sera and Bea didn't think it would cause the commotion it did. The 7 youngsters quickly spread the news. And soon major news channels were already spinning the story.
'The new arrival threatens children!'
'New arrivals, danger to society!'
'Are our children's even safe?'
These headlines instantly popped up, but other kind appeared as well. Ones that didn't by the children's story, and all the headlines containing slander about Sera and Bea were soon drowned. Of course it wasn't only because of those headlines, since there is a censorship in place and every news has to go through the royal family's people, they have full control over information.
...
-Head Quarters of Royal Information Bureau-
A woman walked into the RIB HQ, she didn't look at anyone and none tried to stop her. The woman wore a very elegant outfit it was deep dark blue and white, it brought out her dark blue, waist length hair and fierce eyes, her skin was very white but it only helped bring out the color on her full blue painted lips. She was a rare beauty even in a world full of Evolved.
Her steps was measured and helped bring people's attention to herself.
Suddenly a very nervous person appeared and walked toward the woman, not looking into her eyes and in cold sweat, he greeted her.
"Your Highness Sarah... What do we owe the pleasure?" The man blurted out anxiously, Sarah walked on still not acknowledging him, reaching the elevator she stopped and pressed the call button, then she finally spoke.
"Do you know what happened?" Her voice was emotionless and a bit aloof.
"Oh, yes... Your Highness refers to the situation with Angel Monarch and Queen of Nature! Am I correct?" After she spoke the man visually calmed down.
"Yes, then you know why I am here. I want to know everything about what happened and also send reporters to find the pair. I want them to start bothering them, to know how they react."
There was a ping and the lift doors opened, it was of course empty. None dared to use the royal elevator which most government buildings had. She stepped in slowly and the man stepped in after her. As the Director of the whole of RIB, he was one of the few that could travel up in this elevator next to the princess. The doors closed and they moved up towards the top floor.
"From the recent reports we know what happened. The 7 kids were blasting music right next to the pair, they got annoyed walked to them and asked to turn the music down. Sadly for them they were rich children, thinking they owned the world their group's 'leader' just made the music louder.
Queen of Nature then used her nature powers and destroyed the box, when the leader was about to get cocky Angel Monarch threatened her and they ran off."
"The report is trustworthy one of the kids, a girl named Tina 19 years old, noticed the pair first and recognized them instantly. She couldn't warn the others in time, but the pair didn't decide to escalate." The man finished speaking and there was only silence, they were nearing the top floor when Sarah spoke.
"Yeah, that is what I heard as well. Anyway did you sent the reporters out?"
"Yes Your Highness, we sent them out after the first report."
"Good, I will wait here then for any news."

-In a fast food restaurant- Explore the unknown at m.v.l.e.mpyr
The Sun was beginning to head towards west, the shadows elongated and the cities night life came alive. The clubs and other late night recreational facilities opened, mostly for the young. But those were exactly the kind of people living in the University District.
In a fast food place named Burger Meal, sat two beautiful woman, they were talking and laughing. A woman walked towards them in her hand was two burgers, her hands were shaking quite badly, but she took a deep breath put on a not very convincing smile and walked to the table of the beauties.
"My ladies, here is two cheeseburgers you ordered! Enjoy!" With quick steps she turned and walked away. The two woman called after her. "Thank you." But she went straight to the kitchen. Everyone was in some state of panic, they have never encountered an Evolved in this establishment and suddenly two of them just waltzes right in.
The worst thing was that they weren't just some small Evolved whom no one knows. They were the two most talked about Evolved in recent history! And they were so polite, they just went to the counter and even waited in line! Evolved never do that, they always just do what they like!
While the whole fast food place was in constant anxiety Sera and Bea were in a state of ecstasy. This food was even better than the cafeteria's! They destroyed the burger in about a minute, then walked to the counter and ordered another each. They sat back down and stayed in a comfortable silence, just looking out the window and watching people go on their business.
"This place seems great, much better than the bunker!" Said Sera after staying silent for a while. She smiled at Bea, it was that smile the one she always had before Nightmare. Bea smiled back.
"Well, that is no a hard bar to jump, but compared to the wild even the bunker was great! It had shower, that was the worst in our journey. Everyone smelled horrible, including me!" They both laughed, then the silence returned, but this time it wasn't so comfortable, it seemed like Sera wanted to say something.
Eventually she took a deep breath and reached out her hand just barely touching Bea's own. Her hands were trembling like she was holding a terrible weight. In a way she was, the weight of previous suffering and pain. Slowly Bea raised her eyes, while keeping her hands absolutely still. Sera was looking at her as well and taking another deep breath, she finally spoke.
"I... I wanted to thank you... For everything... Staying with me when I was at my lowest... Not many people would have done that... And I promise I will get better...
I am getting better already, because of you!"
There were tears glistening in both of there eyes, but through them Sera plowed on.
"And I also wanted to ask you something... You don't have to say yes, but... I talked to Vicky and she agreed as well... So if you want to..."
Before Sera could finish, Bea stopped her. Her hand reached into the pocket of her coat and pulled out a paper. Seeing it Sera broke down into tears.
"How... Where... How did you find this?" On the table was the drawing Vicky made about her family. Bea just looked at her with a smile and tears running down her face.
"I went into Nightmare's place to find the room where he kept you. I also found Vicky's room with all your drawings. And my answer is yes! Always!" Bea took Sera's trembling hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
Suddenly there was a sound close to them, it was plates hitting the ground. Near them the previous female worker stood, and it looked like she was about to beg for mercy. Sera and Bea just looked at her, then walked to the counter and ordered another set of burgers. The woman was so stunned she couldn't move a muscle.
In her head she must be thinking, 'These people, they weren't even mad? How?! This never happened? Why are they so nice?'
They sat back down and waited for the burgers, they were just holding hands and smiling at each other. Soon the burgers arrived and the ate it in record pace again. They already payed and as they stepped on a street something unexpected happened. People began swarming them asking weird things or personal things, it was very annoying.
Bea and Sera tried to push through them without causing a mess, but the reporters were like a wall of flesh. They could have pushed them away with their superhuman strength with ease, but they didn't want to hurt them. After about a minute of this Sera had enough.
Behind her a pair of pristine white wings spread, they had an ethereal glow on them. The clicking of cameras and the flashing lights stopped for a few seconds. It was enough for Sera to put Bea in a princess carry and fly straight into the sky.
Back down the street the only thing could be heard was Bea's scream of fear. Her eyes were tightly shut and her whole body was trembling as Sera moved through the sky, then there was a laugh. Seems like Sera thought her reaction to flying hilarious.
"Yeah, laugh at my suffering, you cruel witch!" This made Sera laugh even more.
"I didn't know you are afraid of heights!"
"Well, I didn't know since I never flew before in my life!" After staying silent for a minute Sera spoke in a very reassuring voice.
"Open your eyes and just look at me. Don't look down!"
Bea took a couple of deep breaths and slowly opened one eye, then the other. Sera was staring at her with a smile, behind her those bewitching wings constantly moved, keeping them in the air. Remembering that fact her eyes began to wander toward the ground, but her attention was snapped back.
Suddenly there was a mouth on hers. Sera was kissing her and the trembling finally stopped, her whole body melted. It was quite short only for a few moments. Sera moved away, her face tried to stay positive, but Bea saw it in her eyes. That kiss took all her willpower. Bea just grinned and said, "Maybe flying isn't so bad."
