Chapter 243 Cassie?
The next time Jack woke up he opened his eyes and looked around, he could only see white around him.
'It looks like I am in some sort of white room.' Jack sat up and looked around, and he could see that he was sitting on a metallic bed.
'This must be the post-radiation room that Elma stayed in for ten hours.' Jack thought and looked at the walls.
Everything was made up of white tiles and there were white LED lights in the ceiling.
"I wonder how long I have to stay here?" He looked at his body, he was completely naked and there was only a white towel covering his crotch.
"I hope I don't have to wait for long." He thought and looked at the door, he could tell that it was tightly shut.
After some time he laid back on the bed again. 'What kind of powers did I gain?' He moved his hand up and looked at his palm.
"I don't feel that anything has changed." He started taking deep breaths. 'It's just that my head feels drowsy. That must be because of all the anaesthesia they have given me.' He thought and closed his eyes.
'I hope Nicole protected everyone in the time I was gone.' He started thinking about his girls and their safety.
And he didn't know when but he fell asleep.
"Jack..."
After some time he heard a sweet but familiar voice and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Elma." He looked at her standing in front of him, she had a relieved smile on her face.
"How do you feel?" She asked, as she came close and rested her hand on his arms.
Jack took in a deep breath and found out that he was no longer in the white room, but it was a cosy one with a comfy bed and dim lights.
There was a pleasing scent of sandalwood in the room.
"Where am I?" Jack said and stood up. He looked her straight in the eyes. 'I no longer feel drowsy, anaesthesia must have worn off by now.' He thought and took in a deep breath.
"You are currently at one of my farmhouses," Elma said and sat on the bed beside him, she then placed a hand on his face. "Do you feel any sort of pain anywhere?" She asked with a worried expression on her face.
"No, everything is fine." Jack looked at his body and could see that he was naked and there was only a blanket over his body.
"Should I bring your clothes?" Elma stood up from the bed and moved towards one of the cupboards and picked up a shirt and pants for him. "I brought a new one." She gave him a blue shirt. "How is it?"
"It's good, thank you," Jack said with a smile on his face. He then took the dress from her hands and wore it after standing up from the bed.
"What power did you get?" Jack asked as he looked at Elma with a curious expression on his face. He wondered what kind of power did she get.
As it could reduce a chunk of his problems. He can't stay with Elma all the time. And he knew that Elma had connections with some dangerous people, even her father was a superhuman.
She was the most likely to get harmed out of all of his girls because of this reason and he would be relieved if she got something powerful that could help her fight.
Elma looked at him and a smile formed on her face. "It's something good." She said. She wanted to build some suspense and excitement for Jack.
"Tell me," Jack said, he couldn't wait anymore. He wanted to know what kind of power she had.
"I think it would be better if I show it to you." She said and moved towards the bathroom door, she then opened the door and moved inside after that she closed the door.
A frown appeared on Jack's face at her actions, he couldn't tell what she was doing and what was her motive for entering the bathroom.
She could have shown him the power directly. But he didn't say anything and kept calm, he believed in Elma and knew that she wouldn't do something like this if there was no reason.
Soon enough the bathroom door clicked and then opened.
"How do I look?" A familiar but unpredictable voice came to Jack and then his eyes widened in surprise.
"Cassie?..." He murmured under his breath, he could see Cassie standing in front of him, there was a smile on her face, and her clothes were what caught his attention.
It was the same white suit that Elma was wearing just now.
"Elma?" He took a step forward with a surprised expression on his face.
"You guessed it right." A serene smile formed on Cassie's face and then her body started blurring and after a moment Elma came in front of Jack again.
"So you can shapeshift?" Jack took in a deep breath and placed a hand on her face.
"Yes..." Elma nodded with a blush, she had seen Jack this surprised the first time.
"That's a nice power, but you have to use it carefully and don't put yourself in trouble," Jack said and nodded.
He then took in a deep breath and stepped back.
"How can I find my power? I can't seem to sense anything strange with my body." Jack said as he looked at his palms.
"It came automatically for me." Elma stepped forward and her body blurred, her clothes then dropped to the ground and from below them a black cat emerged.
The cat moved towards the bed and jumped on it. "On the third day, I turned into a cat in my sleep." The little cat said in Elma's voice.
"You can even turn into an Animal?" Jack asked, he was even more surprised now.
"Yes." The cat said and jumped again, it then landed on Jack's shoulder and sat down.
"That's an amazing power." Jack patted her head.
Elma jumped from his shoulder and landed on the bed again, she then turned into her real self again and this time clothes formed on her body automatically.
"I can even form clothes on my body by shapeshifting my skin layer." She said and looked at Jack with a proud expression on her face.
"This power will help me a lot." She murmured and looked at her hand.
"Don't get in trouble." Jack reminded her. He cared about her a lot.
Elma nodded and looked into his eyes. "I know that your power would be even more amazing than mine." She said.
"Why do you think so?" Jack asked with his brows raised.
"Call it intuition," Elma said and held his hand. "Let's go back." She said again and started moving.
After a few hours, Jack's car moved out of Elma's mansion and soon enough he reached his.
'Elma got an amazing power, I hope I get something good too, so I can protect my girls.' He thought and entered the mansion.
It was morning time so Cassie and Susan were not there as they were gone to college.
And Jack could also not find Nicole. "She must have gone for her business," Jack remembered how Nicole was passionate about making money.
He took in a deep breath and sat down on the sofa with a beer in his hand. "That scientist said that it's fine if I drink." Jack thought and took in the first sip.
"Jack." Just as he was about to take the second sip a voice suddenly came from behind him.
He turned his head around and could see Vieva standing behind him, and there was a worried expression on her face.
A frown appeared on his face, he could tell that there was something wrong. "What happened?" He stood up while placing the beer away.
"I need your help." She said and gulped her saliva.
"For what?" Jack could tell that the problem was serious if Vieva was asking for help if she couldn't solve a problem then it meant that it was extremely hard and most likely dangerous.
Vieva took in a deep breath to calm herself down. She then looked around the mansion.
"We should go to a different place." She said.
Jack listened to her and stayed silent for a moment. After giving it some thought he nodded. Previously Nicole heard Vieva's words and placed her life in danger and now he didn't want anyone else to put their life on the line for him.
Vieva raised her hand and clicked her finger and then a white light spread in the room, Jack turned blind for a moment and when he opened his eyes he was in a different place.
It was a mansion made out of wood and he was currently inside the living area.
"This is my place. Sit down I will tell you everything over some alcohol." Vieva said and then a wine bottle appeared in her hand and in her other hand two wine glasses also appeared.
