[POV Reo]
"How have you been Amelia??" I asked the woman sitting in front of me... the woman was giving me a stink eye while she was fumbling with her coffee cup.
"I am surprised that you still remember me... after all, you did forget about me for 4 years..." Amelia said in a slightly annoyed tone... I could only smile wryly after hearing that... I couldn't tell her about the other worlds now, can I??
"I am not going to make any excuses... but, I did have a valid reason..." I mused with a grin on my face. This seemed to irritate Amelia even more... "So, how married life is treating you?" I asked, and Amelia gave me a blank stare and snorted.
"...Don't even start..." Amelia deadpanned... after she moved to France with Susan, she still kept in contact with me even though her husband didn't like it... after all, Sirius hated me after the Graveyard... to be honest, I couldn't be bothered by something like that.
"He is still a good who likes to fool around... sometimes I wonder, why the fuck did I waste all of my life behind that fool..." Amelia said and released a defeated sigh. "He still acts like a baby..." Amelia muttered under her breath while shaking her head.
"But everything is not bad... after getting married to him, I was finally able to relax... I have been married to him for a decade and since then, I have been relaxing... there is nothing to do... except lazing around" Amelia said with a small grin on her face.
"Good for you... you had worked really hard for the DMLE" I gave her genuine praise... she had worked very hard for that department and if it was anyone besides her in that position, then they would have given up a long ago.
"Thanks for the compliment... though, sometimes I think that having that job would have been much better than lazing around while doing nothing" Amelia said with a melancholic look on her face.
"Getting stressed in the old age would have gotten you more wrinkles..." I said with a sly grin but I flinched when Amelia hit me with a stinging hex from under the table... though I only felt a tingle. If I wanted, I could have dodged it but that would have annoyed her more.
"Who the fuck are you calling old, you brat??!" Amelia growled out dangerously and I simply smirked.
"Ah... my bad, I wanted to say mature beauty..." I said with a smirk and a grin appeared on Amelia's face... I could see that she was clearly amused.
"Hmph!! That's more like it... even after having a harem you don't know how to treat a lady... though you can still be redeemed" Amelia said with a smug grin on her face. "You know... coffee isn't working anymore... let's go for a drink" Amelia said with a frown while starting towards her coffee cup.
I thought for a couple of seconds and nodded my head. "Sure... why not, but where are we going?" I asked Amelia while I left some money on the table for the coffee. Both of us quickly walked out of the cafe and entered a back alley so that we can Apparate without getting noticed.
The world has changed a lot and the whole Mundane world was riddled with CCTVs. Neither of us wanted to be in the interest so a deserted alley was the best. "It's a small bar near the Ministry..." Amelia said and extended her hand towards me, I took her hand with a crack both of us disappeared from the alley and appeared inside a small room.
An old man was sitting behind a table and he wasn't even surprised in the slightest when he noticed our sudden arrival... "...It's nice to see you, Amelia... especially after such a long time" the old greeted Amelia in a shaky voice.
"I am surprised that you are still alive old goat... I had thought that you had kicked the bucket" Amelia said in a teasing tone and the old man simply snorted... "Though it is nice to see you again, Moris, and I am glad that you are still alive and kicking" Amelia said with a smile on her face.
"So, what can this old man get for you?" the old man asked in a shaky tone, I simply kept watching their conversation from the side.
"Get us a private table, old man" Amelia said and the old man looked towards a board near the wall and pointed his finger towards table number three... Amelia curtly nodded her head and gestured me to follow her. Both of us left the room and entered a moderately busy bar, Amelia led me towards table number three.
As soon as we sat down, a waitress arrived to take our order, I ordered whisky on the rocks while Amelia ordered bourbon on the rocks. Only after a minute, the waitress returned with the drinks. As soon as the waitress left, Amelia pulled out her wand and tapped the table surface with a hard, the table hummed slightly and I felt some wards flare up around the table. Pretty neat!!
"So, how do you like the place?" Amelia asked me and picked up her glass from the table.
"It is pretty nice, though I never knew that this place hosted wizards and witches..." I said and took a small sip from my drink.
"Of course you didn't know... only the higher-ups from the Ministry knew about this place... we came here from time to time to have a drink without getting bothered" Amelia said with a smile on her face.
We simply sat there while enjoying our drinks while chatting about some common stuff...
[In Marvel World, Elysium]
"I can't believe that they have built have a safe place for us, mutants" a girl gushed out in an excited tone.
"I would ask you to refrain from calling us mutants... we are Meta-Humans" a middle-aged woman with auburn hair said with a frown on her face.
The previous girl looked really embarrassed and squeaked out an apology. "Please, forgive her Kaya (OC), she didn't mean to offend you, she is simply excited" the woman known as Storm said in an apologetic tone.
"It is no problem Ororo, but some people will be really offended if they hear that term, after all, some of us have gone through a lot of bad stuff before Leviathan made this place for us" Kaya said in a bland tone but there a fanatical glint in her eyes when she mentioned Leviathan's name. Some members of the group didn't fail to notice that glint.
"...Though, I really hope that someday we could make a place like this for ourselves, what do you say, Kitty?" the girl named Blink said in a cheerful tone.
The first girl now known as Kitty frantically nodded her head with a grin on her face. "Hmph... If someone tries to do something like that then they would simply send Sentinels after them..." the girl with white and black hair snorted.
"Rogue, you don't need to be like that... after all, everyone can dream" the guy named Bobby chastised the girl named Rogue with a frown on his face.
"...Speaking about the Sentinels, what happened to the Trask Industries?" the man named Pyro asked Kaya in a curious tone.
"I don't know much... but from what I have heard, Leviathan had destroyed all of their branches and facilities when he was annoyed by the Trask Industries" Kaya said with a smile on her face, Kaya was sent by Eric so that she could show them around Elysium.
The whole group didn't know what to say... after all, some of them felt it was wrong to mindlessly kill humans... after all, they were taught by Xavier and the ones from the Brotherhood relished when they heard that the humans were taught about their place on the food chain.
"...Looks like you seriously like this Leviathan guy" Logan commented offhandedly but Kaya wasn't offended by it.
"Of course I do. He saved us when we were being prosecuted for something out of our control... all of our rights were taken away, we were treated like animals... the Meta-Humans in this country had it much better because after they were captured they were thrown into pits, but I can't say that about Meta-Humans from some countries..." Kaya retorted and the group finally understood that the mutants in this world had more problems at the beginning but now they were living happily because someone decided to kill anyone who tried to stop him.
The whole group seemed to be deep in their thoughts after hearing Kaya's words. "... I think all of us really tired today, it would be really nice if you show us where we will be staying" Ororo said with a thoughtful look on her face when she saw the whole group was deep in their thoughts.
"Of course, please follow me" Kaya nodded curtly and started to lead the whole group towards the place Eric had arranged for their stay...
