"Batman?"
The room was then filled with an awkward silence that caused me to soon regret I said those words, for in that moment I saw Elizabeth's face started contorting, as a creepy smirk formed in her rosy pink lips, which I knew in an instant, would bring endless trouble.
Hastily I try to get loose, but it was all for not as she had me in her iron grip 'like seriously this is some bear level strength she has in her arms!'
"Young master, I'm being serious here and you are making jokes, I believe someone needs some punishment" Elizabeth says as she begins a furious, unrelenting, round of tickling that nearly made me spout tears.
"HAHAHAHA UNCLE! UNCLE! I- I- HAHAHA I GIVE UP! I GIVE UP! IM SOWYYY" I Begin to cry as I was attacked, by the vicious maid, even throwing a childish sorry to see if she would let up. To my surprise she did and I earned an incredibly pillowy hug, as I was smothered in twin peaks.
"KYAH! Master is really adorable" Says the culprit of my delightful suffocation. I mentally sigh at this, 'sigh, women, you just can't ever be sure with them, one second their happy, the next they may bash your head in'.
Exiting my moment of great philosophy I push her away to regain my breath, noticing this, she too lets me go and retakes her serious expression.
"Jokes aside young master, what it means is you have a great responsibility far in to the future, which your parents have left for you and you only. But it also means, you are at this moment, one of the youngest billionaires in the planet, do you understand what I'm trying to say young master?" She says, as she stares at me with a bit of concern in her eyes.
Catching on to the detail, I respond a bit unsurely "It means I have a lot of money, but people may try to take it from me?" I compliment while tilting my head a bit, although unconsciously.
Seeing my display Elizabeth goes a little wide eyed, as if astonished at my comprehension that goes beyond what my age would suggest, and then I once more am embraced, while I feel those marvelous pillows on my cheeks, I couldn't help but think 'This woman really likes her skin ship, this is probably the nth time she does this, just in the last half an hour, I will probably die in this life to a pair of breasts' and even do I rant, a part of my, called it an instinct, was absolutely delighted as though it were all according to plan.
"Young master, you are correct, however rest assured as long as I am here, nobody will ever be allowed to bring harm to you" Said Elizabeth in a highly determined tone and as I looked up I swear I could almost see flames lighting up her eyes. Yet it were those words, which really stuck to me, reminding how really valuable she was and how real this all was.
"I believe you, but I will protect you too Elizabeth" Now holding her hands in my own I say, while holding her gaze, to show off I was also determined to protect what little I had left, that actually mattered.
As she warmly gazes at me, she pinches my cheek and teases "I have no doubt of this young master and I'm relieved, a girl like me needs a big strong man to protect me"
A bit embarrassed I was reminded how right now I was but a boy of no more than 5, powers or not, I didn't look reliable, never the less I refused to back down and teased back "Yes, then I will be that big and strong man Elizabeth".
"Okay, okay big guy, I believe you" She says in a light chuckle. "But first let's get you home young master" She says as she flourishes her dress and goes out of the room to get the permission to leave from the doctors in charge of my care.
With finally a moment to rest, from the tornado know as Elizabeth I proceed to get down to business. Sitting in a meditation pose on the bed, I sunk my mind into my conciseness and guided only by instinct I begun to tap into my abilities, so as to see explore the wonders of my godly abilities. No sooner had I begun that a deep frown appeared on my face.
As my eyes snapped open I could not help but exclaim in frustration "Damn! I was scammed!"
I was indeed scammed, scammed to pieces by that no good entity. My power was essentially none existent, while I initially believed it to be part of the beings so called "Restrictions" I was quickly able to tell, do to my or more specifically, Lucifer's Knowledge, that this wasn't the case and was instead do to the frailty of my current vessel.
That's right it turns out wielding the almighty power of an archangel, couldn't be done with a normal human body, not to mention an untrained child body like mine and while I could use up a large portion of this power by driving my soul out of my body, it would leave me immensely vulnerable as my body or soul could be attacked, more worrying the former than the latter do to the baptism.
It was as though I was I high performance engine, stuck in a beat up car frame.
"Damn, couldn't you at least have given me a weapon?!" Immensely upset and frustrated, I did what was available and started cursing, while looking at the heavens and brandishing my balled fists at the air. It was as I waved my arms furiously in the air that a mind blowing thing occurred. In a split second an amorphous coal black began to ooze out of my skin that quickly gathered just in front of me, which caused me to jump back and inevitably fall of the bed.
Grunting in pain I turned to look at what had scared me, moments prior and when I did I was frozen in awe, for hovering over the bed was an ever changing black substance, which with every passing second adopted a new weapon form such as knife, machete, gun, nunchucks and more. Witnessing such an amazing scene, I could utter but one word.
"Wow"
