Capítulo 113: Festival de Cannes (part 2)
As we were waiting for our flight, Shane and others began to slowly show up. Some of the cast had shown up long before us as well. We were flying private, but we still had to wait for the jet we were taking to be fueled and go through it's usual checks. While we were waiting, I talked with Barbara a bit about the Orphanage and asked how everyone was because it had been a little while since I had last seen them. According to her, everyone was doing great and looked forward to my next visit.
Rob and Helena were hitting it off as they laughed and talked about different things. It was good to see Rob happy. He deserved it. I just wondered if he was biting off more than he could chew with Helena. If I wasn't wrong, I assumed she was the Huntress. The reason I suspected so was the fact that Barbara brought her, her name, the fact that she obviously has strong Italian roots, and the fact she told Rob that she was a teacher.
At last it was finally time to board the Jet and we all made our way to it. On the way the system sent me a notification.
--------------------------------------------------------
Quincy Jackson who had entered the Warriors tower two days ago has sent a food request.
--------------------------------------------------------
Quincy had been training non stop and I had let him take a break by entering the tower to face some real life situations for a bit. I was a firm believer in the Spartan way of training the people around me. If they couldn't take the training, I really didn't even want them anyway. Because I could not offer Quincy power like I had my disciples, I loaned him evil Wonder Woman's bracers before he left. Items didn't count as a persons power so they were overlooked by the tower. Any items or power gained from the tower can also be used in the tower.
I had no use for the bracers personally and I figured I might actually end up gifting them to him sometime anyway. If he lost them to the tower, it wasn't a huge loss to me. What was an godly op defensive item for most was just a junk toy to me. Unfortunately for Quincy I could only send food, water, and other comfort items through the Moonlight Computer which I wasn't anywhere near. He would have to find another way.
'Tell him his request has been denied and to eat the monsters he slays for now' I thought to my system.
...
Message Relayed. Reply from Quincy: I understand, I will try harder.
...
If I had found this young kid sooner, I would have probably made him one of my Disciples. He was hard working and full of will power while braving the scary situations I threw him into. In my opinion a mortal man who has no power and fights to gain power is way cooler than one born with it or that got it easy. I look forward to the kids progress. He's still not as well trained as a Bat Family member, so perhaps sending him to the tutorial part of the tower early was a bad idea, but only time can tell if I made the right choice or not.
Quincy was well aware of the path he had chosen. He knows it's a dangerous path and he isn't afraid of danger or even death. His personality gives him a huge advantage in fights as well. Without fear of death, one is bolder and not as hesitant. A perfect soldier if you ask me. If he completes the tutorial, I'll gift him the bracers and maybe something else from my vault. It would be well deserved.
As we all walked onto the flight Barbara spoke to me. "You seem lost in thought. Is something the matter?"
I dismissed her words with a wave of my hand as I replied. "No, I'm just thinking about the future a lot lately."
Barbara raised an eyebrow as she sat down in her seat. "Where am I in this future of yours?"
Sitting next to her on the Jet, I leaned over close to her ear and told her straight. "You don't listen to me and you do whatever you want even in my delusions."
Barbara laughed. 'So what would I be doing in your delusions if I let you decide?"
"Unspeakable things" I replied.
Barbara laughed again. "Maybe my father was right about you".
I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe he was."
Barbara's smile didn't fade as we continued talking on the long twelve hour flight. Around five hours in she fell asleep and I looked over to Rob to see what he was up to. The man had the biggest grin on his face that I had ever seen as Helena was also asleep, but her body leaned over a bit with her head resting on his shoulder. Seeing me look his way, he gave me a thumbs up and mouthed the words "You're my bro for life."
I could only shake my head as I turned back around and looked at the beautiful woman asleep beside me. Maybe I was a little envious. The thought only lasted a second as I remembered the Son I had from the future. The kid only spoke bad of me to others, I should probably be careful with women from now on. As I was thinking this, I heard Barbara murmur in her sleep. "You dumb fool". I couldn't help but wonder who she was speaking to in her dream.
For the rest of the flight I thought about my upcoming store opening and tournament that I had planned. Telos, Lola, and Sodam were already headed to earth and would be here in a couple of days to not only give me the equipment I requested, but also participate in the tournament themselves. I looked forward to seeing them again.
Last I talked to them, they had experienced a lot since I had left. Sodam seemed to have the roughest time of the three, but all three boasted about being stronger and I looked forward to them being matched up with me later. The stronger the opponent the better.
