The Blue Eyes

"Why did you do that?" Kevin asked after hearing Selena's answer about what formula the female professor injected in him seventeen years ago.

"I knew they were going after Blue. I had to hide the formula so they won't get it," the professor replied.

"You have to hide it in your son's body?" Kevin suddenly raised his tone again and made the lady flinched in surprise.

Kris, who sat beside him, quickly grabbed Kevin's hand that was clenched on his lap. Kris's movements were so fast that Kevin didn't have time to dodge.

"Calm yourself, Kev. You have to remember that you aren't completely able to control your power yet."

Kevin listened carefully to Kris's words and he started taking a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm himself down. Even though he felt irritated at the werewolf, but his lover's words had a point. He didn't want to be controlled by his new power.

"You even have to pretend to be dead?" This time, Kevin asked quietly when he calmed down a little.

Selena lowered her head, not daring to look into the blue eyes of her only son, who was now staring coldly at her. "I had no other choice," she said timidly. "For decades, I was forced by Joseph to support all his evil plans. During that time, I was under a lot of pressure. I don't want Joseph to look for me again if he finds out I'm still alive, so seventeen years ago, I injected a serum into my face, which caused the cells to regenerate so that the appearance of my face changed until people didn't recognize me anymore."

Kevin was astonished by Selena's explanation, but he only focused on one thing. "So, Joseph Beischel is still alive too?" He asked after he concluded Selena's story.

"Yes," Selena replied. "I know about that from Kris. Joseph and Mike have been eyeing Blue together."

The young scientist was stunned to hear Selena's answer. It turned out that his father and his mother were still alive all these times. He had been in deep grief for seventeen years, but it turned out that his biological parents were still alive.

"Then, what about the orphanage? It looks like that's part of your plan too. It looks like you also lied about Social Service taking Blue and me to the orphanage. Am I right?"

It looked like Kevin's guess was right on target because Selena's facial expression completely changed after hearing his question. In her heart, she admitted that Kevin was a genius who could analyze in a short time. But, it was also what made her feel defeated by her own son.

"You really are a genius, Kevin," the lady did not hesitate to praise the young scientist. "All of your analysis is correct. The orphanage stuff, it's all part of my plan. There was no Social Service that took you to the orphanage. I took you there myself, and the orphanage was specially built for that purpose. Your foster parents helped me take care of all of that seventeen years ago."

Now, it was Kevin who was rounding his eyes in surprise. "Even my foster parents were involved in all this?" He asked in disbelief. It turned out that everything had been carefully planned, including the event where he was adopted by a couple who he thought were just ordinary people.

Selena slowly nodded. "They used to be scientists too, but they decided to retire after the war was over. They helped me buy a building that transformed into an orphanage in just a day, also helped me got a new identity as Monica Nierling. They also gave me the facial changing serum that was the result of their research."

Kevin was completely astounded. Everything was too sudden and it was hard for him to endure. Perhaps Kris was right. He was right that Kevin was not ready to accept the reality at once.

"Then, what about Blue?" Kevin asked again. "She is with the werewolves now. Aren't you worried about her situation? She's in a difficult position, and it's all because of you! Don't you feel guilty? Don't you see how Blue has been suffering all this time because she doesn't know her background at all?"

Kevin's questions seemed to hit straight to Selena's heart. She could no longer look at her son, and even her eyes began to tear up. Kevin was right, all of this happened because of her selfishness. All of this happened because she was so weak in the past.

"I'll apologize to Blue and will explain everything to her after she comes back to us."

Kevin immediately smirked after hearing Selena's answer. "After Blue comes back to us? Why are you so sure Blue will return? What if the werewolves kill Blue after they find out that she isn't the one they are looking for?"

Selena did not immediately answer her son's question and instead grabbed her cellphone which was lying on the table. She pressed the screen several times, then placed the sophisticated object to his ear. After a while, it looked as if the line had been connected because she started speaking on her phone.

"Has Blue come?"

Kevin and Kris looked at each other. At first, Kevin non-verbally asked Kris who was on the phone with Selena, but the werewolf shrugged his shoulders as a sign that he didn't know about that either. In the end, the two handsome men looked back at Selena and watched the lady intently.

"That's good. Ask her to rest and make sure you take good care of her. I'll come over there tomorrow and explain everything to her."

And the phone line was cut by Selena. The lady took turns looking at Kris and Kevin, then smiled as she said, "Blue has returned to the orphanage."

That one sentence inevitably made Kris and Kevin widen their eyes in surprise.

"But, how did Blue get back to the orphanage so quickly? What really happened to her?" Kris finally asked.

"Didn't I tell you we should trust Blue and not worry about her?" The lady smiled at Kris. "The formula I put into Blue's body seventeen years ago was a formula I created myself. Joseph never knew if I had finally come up with the formula. It's a formula for creating a space-controlling power, or you can call it teleportation."

Kevin and Kris widened their eyes after hearing the explanation from the lady. A piece of information that was too shocking that it didn't make any sense.

"I deliberately modified the formula so that at a glance, the effect caused by the formula was similar to the effect caused by Joseph's formula. I purposely deceived them so they thought Blue was the kid who had that formula in her body. I bet on Blue because I believed she would return to the orphanage. After all, her heart and mind are connected to the place. That's what it takes for her to use that power."

All of this suddenly felt like a fantasy story. How did the story go until Selena was able to create the teleportation power in Blue's body? How genius could Selena Beischel be to create that power? Was she even more genius than Joseph Beischel? They were both a pair of geniuses, but who would have thought that the two professors would end up fighting each other using their geniuses?

Was it what Kris meant some time ago that Kevin's parent's had some goals related to the werewolves drama? Kris said that one of the goals was to rule the world, and that goal seemed to be Joseph's goal. Meanwhile, Selena had a different goal, which was to oppose his husband to save the world. Now, Kevin understood.

"Kevin," the grey-haired lady called out her son's name again. Kevin reflexively turned to her, and the lady continued, "You don't have to worry about Blue. Some of my men guarding her at the orphanage. They are just normal humans, but they are armed with great weapons that can subdue werewolves. Now, you only have to worry about yourself. Your father and the werewolves probably have learned your secret because Jack saw you transformed before. Perhaps they will try to catch you later."

Kevin's expression turned tense after listening to Selena's words. He didn't know what happened to him when Jack 'visited' him some time ago, but he didn't bother with it and focused more on his safety.

"Kris," this time, it was the werewolf's turn to get the summons. "You have to take good care of Kevin. We both agreed to change our final plans, so you have to protect Kevin even with your life if necessary."

Kris, without the slightest hesitation, nodded his head. His eyes radiated such earnestness and conviction. His face also exuded a very strong determination.

"Wait." This time, it was Kevin who made a sound. "What does that mean by you agreeing to change your final plans? I'm already here, and I already know everything. I will hate you forever if you refuse to tell me about it."

Kris and Selena looked at each other with equally solemn gazes. It seemed that this time, Kevin should know about their plans. The two creatures of the opposite sex finally nodded at each other.

"Everything is going according to my plan so far," the lady explained. "I managed to trick them by taking advantage of Blue, and Blue had also come back to us. It must have messed up their concentration. In addition, now they also know that the original formula is inside your body. My original plan was to turn you over to them."
