Chapter 17) Kidnapped, but I let them

  As we enter the coffee shop, we all get a whiff of the smell of the somewhat coffee smelling air.

  It doesn’t smell like someone was brewing it, but more like the coffee just appeared.

  Of course, this is exactly what happened, the coffee just appears!

  There are other customers in here, all me of course. The one who mans the counter is a bunny man with something resembling a handlebar mustache. He’s the only person in the entire city with a mustache as it’s very hard to do so, but I thought this would be kind of funny.

  I say, “I’ll have a coffee please!”, and he replies “Sure, what will they have?”

  Herbert asks, “what do you have?”

  The bunny responds “coffee”, and the tone he says it in implies that the list will go on, but it doesn’t.

  Both of my guests ask for coffee. They just copy my order! So unoriginal!

  We get our coffees, and then sit down at a small table.

  They can’t drink it though, their helmets get in the way, so I say, “why don’t you take off your helmets?”

  Herbert responds, “we need our helmet.”

  I respond, “No you don’t, and it’s rude to not drink your coffee after you just got it for free.”

  They continue to say no to this request, so I use my outside view to project 5 seconds from tearing onto both suits.

  Their suits start to tear, and so they are forced to take it off after I think their superiors tell them once again to do so.

  I finally get a better look at both of them. A more face to face look.

  They don’t look super special, no tattoos or cool scars, just grey fur with green or brown eyes.

  This is boring…

  I’ve decided to mess with them even more, I’m gonna trap them in this city.

  It’s kind of mean, but all in good fun!

  After taking the to the coffee shop, I left them while saying, “I need to go.” I didn’t give them any expnation other than that. They got coffee though.

  I then, to creep them out, made every collective member near them walk in perfect unison. All at different speeds, but it gives my city a more eerie feel.

  I started to have some citizens talk to them, ask them questions like, “where are you from?”, and “what are your secrets?”

  All very standard normal person stuff.

  After that, I feel like I want to see Grené, Myra, and Aster again, just check in on my fragment and his parents.

  Finding myself is a lot easier than before, there is a thin link connecting me.

  I find that I’m a good bit older, by a few years.

  I was actually expecting that I took longer than that, the little me is probably around 6 or 7. I’ve grown into quite the genius, using advanced vocabury and the little me has a tutor.

  But the little me is more focused on creative things, like writing, drawing, or other stuff.

  He’s so simir to me, actually he is me, so why am I surprised?

  Maybe I thought that since he had none of my past memories nor the memories of power, he should be different than me?

  Maybe it’s my influence? He has a piece of me, so I guess he should be me.

  Whatever, I need to check in on Serne, see what he’s been up to.

  I start searching for Serne where I st saw him, and he’s not there. Serne’s old house is mostly empty except for several cameras? and other things.

  If someone’s watching, how would they react if I just pced myself there?

  No reason not to, so I do.

  The moment I do, several lights fsh red.

  This is better than when I first came here, at least I’m not nude!

  Suddenly a net falls from the ceiling, covering my body and completely restricting my movements.

  This is perhaps not very good, although I do want to see what happens, so I won’t struggle.

  Suddenly several armed guards along with people in some type of hazmat suits come in and then carry me away.

  I’ve been pced into something like a body bag, so I have plenty of time to think while they start to load me into a vehicle.

  I wonder what exactly caused this? How did this go from Serne’s home to something else?

  Did Serne try to get the government to go after me? Has he told them my secrets?

  I feel like I’m missing something, but I don’t know what.

  I don’t think they went after Serne, why would they? He’s just a normal guy, I think.

  Or was he a decoy, did they kill him after I first met him before I had the longer discussion?

  If it’s my fault, I should help him. Even if it’s not, if he’s in trouble I might help him anyway, benevolence and all that.

  This vehicle is taking an awfully long time to transport me.

  Nevermind, we seem to have arrived.

  Now let’s see who has the nerve to kidnap me!

  As they open the bag, a bright light hits my eyes, causing me to make a weird noise in pain.

  I find myself in a room 50 armed guards along with many many seemingly automated weapons.

  Is it that scary when someone appears in a room randomly?

  It’s not like they know me!

  Wait, I feel dumb.

  They might actually, this is my Asterios body, and they probably had a feed of my appearance.
