Chapter 252 - Vacation (I)
POV Reo
"So, you didn't tell me if you liked the city or not?
" I asked Dora when I finally separated from her. She didn't look too happy when I stopped the kiss but if I continued then I would have ended up taking her into the bedroom and having my wicked ways with her… I knew that Dora would have been rather happy with that outcome but the situation wasn't right.
"Honestly, it's amazing… I won't mind living here
" Dora said after a few seconds of pouting.
"The house-elves made all of this, right?
" Dora asked me, I just nodded my head with a smile.
"Creative little buggers
" Dora murmured under her breath.
"Nemuri and Reo made the plans though… the house-elves thought that the plants would be nicer so they added them
" Momo arrived towards us from the side.
After that, I introduced Dora to Jean, Ororo, and Natasha. Dora immediately accepted the three of them… after all, Dora is an outgoing and fun-loving woman. After that, we decided to return to our mansion… we have moved out of Eric's base recently and built ourselves a small mansion on the hills of the west side of the island.
Six months have passed since the Meta-Human fiasco… after that, I enjoyed my days while training and going on dates with the girls but most of the time I had to help with some matters. In these six months, I have grown a lot closer to Jean, Ororo, and Natasha but we haven't made much progress in the relationship department. I know that six months is a lot of time but all of us have been busy with something.
Ororo was learning magic from Rumi and from Nemuri from time to time. Jean was learning about her Phoenix powers from Fleur, and Natasha was getting used to all of her powers. From time to time all of us had to go on some errand or help with the construction of the island… we were also busy with management stuff.
All three of them were interested in getting into a relationship with me but none of them were able to make any progress because they have seen how busy I was and they also had their own lives… I know it's just an excuse but I personally thought that if I got in a relationship with them then I should spend some time with them individually and that would only be possible when all of us were free.
I also knew that women liked it when you did something special for them. Well, we were going to get the opportunity quite soon… The island was finally finished and I finally decided to move out of Eric's base. Well, I wasn't obligated to help them but since I have started the Elysium project I have long decided to see it completed.
So, when I finally decided to move out, obviously Jean, Ororo, and Natasha decided to join us. Throughout these six months, they have been giving obvious signals but unfortunately, I wasn't able to act on them. The house-elves took only four days to get our house done… I know that I had Knox but for now, we decided to enjoy our time on Elysium, after all, we spent so much time to make it perfect.
Money wasn't something we were bothered about… with the current situation around the world, we could still buy countries. Yes, the situation around the world had improved a lot in these six months but they were still suffering… what I did, pushed them back by several decades and the Middle-Eastern countries would never improve… there was a chance that Russia will still pull through.
According to Nemuri, the most affected country was the States. After all, they lost billions when I was done with them… there is a small chance that they will recover in this century. A New President was already elected and he had decided to give up on some of the small cities which were hit by the EMP warheads… for now, they were only focusing on the bigger cities like Las Vegas. For now, he was doing a lot of good…
There was another problem the whole world was having… I was still holding control over all the satellites and they still weren't able to remove the virus I had affected their systems with. So, their defense systems were still down. They had brought out their older systems from the warehouses… older radar detection systems and all that… I took pity on them and for now, I have left them alone but if they try to pull any stunt then they are free game, once again.
"So, where is that depraved pervert?
" Dora suddenly asked and brought me out of my thoughts. We were finally inside the house…
"I don't know… she went out saying that she was going to bring us food
" Rumi said and shrugged. All of us sat down at the table and Dora was still chatting with Jean, Ororo, and Natasha.
After a few minutes, Nemuri finally popped back while she was carrying several crates in her hands.
"I brought pizzas!
" Nemuri exclaimed in an excited tone and put down the pizza crates. She pulled out a shrunken crate from her pocket and placed it on the table and enlarged it… the crate was filled with bottles of coke.
"Brilliant!
" Dora exclaimed and took the topmost box and by some coincidence, she found that her name was written on the box. Dora popped open the box and found that the pizza had her favorite toppings… Dora looked over to Nemuri in clear admiration.
"Thank you, Nemuri
" Dora said in a heartfelt tone.
"You are most welcome! See, how much I love you
" Nemuri said with a smug tone and handed Dora a bottle of coke. We found that Nemuri had personally customized the pizza for everyone… everyone found their favorite toppings on their own pizza. Everyone thanked Nemuri for her hard work… after all, she brought special pizza for everyone.
It was a nice and fun meal, I missed pizza a lot and Nemuri handed me an Ice-Cream after I was done with the pizza. I found out that I still loved Ice-Cream and in a corner of my mind I have decided that I wasn't going to destroy Earth. What??!! It would happen sometime, after all, I was going to become the Leviathan of Destruction. I might not destroy this Earth but some other Earth out there… as a Cosmic Entity I had to do it like the Phoenix Force had to destroy life so that new life could be born.
"So, I say that we book some private beach or island to enjoy ourselves
" Rumi said when the discussions about our vacation finally started.
"No, I think we have enjoyed the sea, way too much… I think we should try a mountain this time, non?
" Fleur said shooting down the plan of any private beach.
"No, there will be no mountains. What happens if I trip and fall off?
" Dora said with a horrified look on her face. Obviously, Dora would be worried about something like that even after she became a goddess and she knows magic and Apparation.
"Dora, you could use Apparation
" Momo said in a bland tone and gave Dora a blank stare.
Dora looked sheepish and started to rub the back of her head while chuckling nervously.
"I say that visiting a forest might be nice
" Ororo chirped in her idea.
"I think that a romantic location would be much better… somewhere like Paris or Venice. What do you say, Natasha?
" Jean spoke with a starry-eyed look on her face.
Natasha just shrugged dismissively.
"I have no personal preference, I have never been on a vacation so any place will be nice
" Natasha said in a dismissive tone. Some horrified gasps were heard and everyone started trying to pull Natasha into their plans.
I was getting a massive headache because of this, I was worried that Nemuri was still silent. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed that Luna and Nemuri making faces while looking at each other, it was their mode of silent communication so I understood that something was going on…
"Luna, is there something you want to tell us?
" I asked Luna, everyone immediately turned to look at Luna who made an innocent face.
"Why yes, will you mind if I recommend someplace?
" Luna spoke in an innocent face. I got a feeling that it was useless as she had already planned everything. Well, I didn't mind Luna recommending someplace.
"No, of course not. So, do you have some idea?
" I asked Luna who beamed with a huge smile on her face. It was clear that she was really happy with that and she pulled out a brochure from her pocket and laid it down on the table.
She slowly opened the brochure and we all saw a beautiful location.
"Patagonia, this is in between Argentina and Chile, I say that we on a camping trip here
" Luna said with an innocent smile.
I looked around to see everyone's expressions and noticed that no one was opposed to the idea. It was clear that Nemuri was already onboard with the idea. So, I knew that everything was already prepared and I agreed that Luna's plan was awesome… I always wanted to go on a camping trip.
I turned my head back towards Luna, she was patiently waiting for the answer. A smile graced my face.
"Sure Luna, Patagonia it is
" as soon as I finished, Luna squealed in excitement and Flash Stepped into my lap and pulled me into a hot and steamy kiss.
Everyone in the room cheered for us, after a couple of minutes Luna finally pulled back and gave me another of her beaming smiles.
"Don't worry, I have already booked the tickets for our trip
" Luna said in an excited tone and every one of us started to laugh nervously…
