People came up to me, one man asked, “Where you made to be a superhero? You are like a superhero!”. Another one said, “Can you touch me?”. Another one said, “I love you so much.”. Another, “You are like a real life angel.”. Another, “You are adorable. I’m getting a picture.”. It was all overwhelming me. I force my hands out and shout, “Stop! Just stop.”.
They keep on going on, I started to feel exhausted and held my forehead. I said, “I have to go.”. I move through the people and walked to find Yannic again.
I looked around and caught my eye at Yannic under a tree at the right of the entrance path of the museum.
Yannic finished his call, I shout at him, “Yannic.”. He turned around and ask, “What is it now?”. I look for an answer, “What will we be doing now?”. Yannic said, “Well icing Lucy is still a top priority. You are the only one that can do the job. Jarry is going to drone scout the Boyee island. We will be going back to the Croc Station and check up on the La Libere.”. I smiled, “Okay.”.
Yannic starting going towards the road, he said, “We got to put that Volate back to the truck.”. I said, “No way. I’m having to much fun with the La Libere. I’m flying there.”. Yannic looked at me and smiled.
I turn on the machine, crack it to three and bolt to the sky and onward to the Croc Station.
I flew through the night sky, seeing the city from above at night was beautiful. I teared a little, my face locked at the urban night lights. I felt so alive but I still had that unease for K-1, hoping she was okay.
I arrive at Croc Station, landing on my two feet this time at the outside of the back garage. I turn off the Volate and took it off, laying on the wall. I loosen my body to see any officers, Palite or agents near by, nothing. The masked Voller isn’t here either.
I go to the office building and lay down on the couch I slept on. That Volate made me feel so light but that sensation of flying is so amazing. I could just go all day flying around the world.
I go to take my phone but realize that I don’t have it and that I crushed it.
I get up and clean my knives at the bathroom. After that, I go back and heard the garage door open and it was Yannic with pizza and my bag. He sees me at the other room as the door was open. He said, “I think you left this back in the park Lue.”. I came up and took my bag. I said, “Thank you.”.
Yannic said, “I also invited some friends.”. Daniel and some other guy, a white male that I don’t recognize but had an orange scarf and a low saturated dark blue brief case. Daniel greeted, “Hey Lue. We are having four cheese pizza.”. I was disappointed. I said, “I’ll have a slice.”. Yannic ask, “Just one? I mean its a big pie.”. I told him, “I just don’t like cheese or milk much.”. Yannic reason, “But Lue, calcium is key to having strong bones. Granted, its pizza cheese but still.”. I said, “Milk is really only good for toddlers.”. Daniel came in, “Food is food man, I just want to munch.”. The orange scarf man said, “Wait, but doctor. Don’t you have an offering?”. He looked at me and put his right hand out, he greeted, “Oh, my name is Severin by the way.”. I shook his hand and replied, “And you know me as Lue, or K three.”. Severin state, “I’ve seen the stream back in twenty thirty nine. Nice to meet you in person.”. I laughed a little but I still don’t like the memory, I uttered, “Yeah.”.
Daniel took the pizza, put it on the couch near the desk and open it. He took a slice.
Yannic said, “We got a special offer for you.”. I question, “What?”. Severin got his case and lay it before him, he open it and it was a light blue Voller scarf and a piece of paper at the bottom. Yannic announce, “I want to invite you to be a member of the Vollers. Will you take the offer? You will need to sigh the paper before you can wear the scarf.”.
I am profoundly surprised, I took the sheet and read over a terms of membership. It is a special kind of terms as it was made for individually for me as to be Yannic’s fighter, spy and mechanical apprentice. I smiled of that I found another community, it reminded me of Technovania but I also had futuristic thoughts and they were optimistic.
I took the pen and wrote my name at the signature box. I said, “I will do it.”. Yannic smiled. I gave him the paper, he checked, he stated, “We gotta work on your signature but don’t worry about that for now. I’ll accept this.”. He put the paper at the desk, then said, “Go ahead, take the scarf.”.
I was delighted, I took the scarf and put it around my neck. Yannic said, “Now wear that in business areas. Not in combat as it will, be a distraction.”. I spoke, “Thank you so much. I’m glad I can be with you, friends.”. Daniel voiced, “Yeah. Maybe you can do more kitchen work. Hell maybe even replace my trimmers.”. Then he laughed. Yannic said, “This isn’t the ideal place for a new member, but these are, extraordinary times.”. Severin close the brief case and turn around. Yannic said, “Come, lets enjoy ourselves.”.
We eat, we talk, we share our recent stories. Yannic told me of Voller rules and how the apprenticeship will work. He said he will get me education in one of the finest schools in the world, and that he will fund my education. He wants me to be an engineer for his new generation of Volate creators and other technologies. I accept.
After the little party. Severin left, me and Daniel took our sleep, and Yannic worked on paper work.

I was dreaming again, this time I was at the butchering complex, sitting on a chair. I was in my army suit from NO-306. K-1 was naked and I saw Lucy standing right beside her. I tried to get up but I couldn’t move. Lucy looked at me and shout, “You are a loser, you are a loser!”. Then laugh.
K-1 coughed blood, then K-4 came out beside me and fell on me, puking blood. I freaked out, my face becoming wet of tears. I try to get off the chair but couldn’t.
Then I open my eyes and saw Yannic holding me as I was struggling. Yannic told me, “Lue. It was just a dream. Most likely a bad dream.”. I whispered, “I know.”. Yannic looked frighten, he said, “Lucy is making an announcement, and she is mentioning you, and she has one of your sisters on the stream.”.
