New Beginnings
Narration - aphrodite woke up in a cold sweat and looked over and saw no one but heard noise downstairs with the smell of bacon so she got up and got in the shower and began to think to herself (aphrodite self thoughts- "they are imbeciles, they left me alone" "they just trust me way to much, right after our fight they should be on guard at all times"
(she got out the shower and heard a knock at the door and went to open it and saw joey with a change of clothes for her)
Joey - put these on and come downstairs we have things to discuss)
(she closed the door and proceeded to get dressed it was a pair of sweatpants and a T-Shirt then she sighed and went downstairs to see all the other's eating with timothy cooking and they all looked over at her)
Aj - look who it is
Dontae - you hungry?
(aphrodite shook her head yes and sat at a chair in between dontae and joey)
(timothy brought over a plate of eggs, bacon and pancakes)
Timothy - enjoy!
Aphrodite - thank you (she started to pray and when she said amen no else said anything and she was surprised but began to eat)
Joey - you two (pointing at lotus and euphoria) get out for a minute
Lotus - but-
(dontae looked at him)
Dontae - go now
(they both left the room)
(timothy finished cooking and cut off the stove and walked over to the table and sat at the other end)
Dontae - yeah we have an important matter to discuss
Dontae - are you with us or not?
(aphrodite noticed that his normal and cool composure was completely gone and he had the eyes of a madman)
Aphrodite - if I say I'm not, then what?
(as soon as she said it timothy Pin Pointed behind her while joey made a energy sword appear in his hand then dontae had four copies beside him and aj stayed in his chair still eating)
Aphrodite - looks like I got my answer
Aphrodite - well I left them of my own accord, so I'm not your enemy and that's all you get for now
(they were still there and dontae finally spoke up)
Dontae - you cross us or do anything that opposes us you'll regret it, do we understand each other?
(aphrodite pondered for a minute or so and finally got up from her chair)
Aphrodite - i don't like the way this is going
(they all stood their ground and nobody moved and finally Lotus walked in and seen everything)
Lotus - is everything alrig- nvm
(the brother's backed away and aj was still eating his food while timothy went back to his seat while joey regressed his energy and dontae's copies dispersed and aphrodite sat back down)
Dontae - everything's fine (still staring at aphrodite and vise versa)
Aj - what is it?
Lotus - well there's a story on the news and you guys should see this
(the boys got up and dontae waited for aphrodite to walk ahead of him and they all ended up in the living room and saw the story on the news which was a series of killings and destruction going on in United City and surrounding cities: large pieces of ice sticking out of buildings and ice covering cars, people, etc and buildings on fire and victims burnt)
(the casualties were 146 dead and 73 with critical injuries and everyone was in complete chaos and the group put their head down and joey threw an energy blast at the TV and it crashed to the ground)
(joey turned around and faced dontae)
Joey - they have to be stopped (looked at aphrodite), all of them
(everyone but aphrodite looked to dontae for answers)
Aj - a decision has to be made
Timothy - she saved us
Lotus - she could've killed us all while we all had our guard down but she didn't so I think we should give her chance
Joey - that's the problem we have kids thinking they actually have opinions in this and it's not helping we need to make real choic-
Dontae - HEY!
(everyone stopped talking)
Dontae - I don't need everyone's opinion right now
Dontae - I don't see her as a threat right now so she stays and if I decide that she's not useful to us anymore then I'll take care of it myself
(everyone was still silent)
Dontae - I'm not saying trust or even like her but for now she stays if she decides to or not (she looked at her)
Dontae - now… are you with us?
(aphrodite looked at him and nodded yes)
Dontae - done deal and-
Aj - hold on
Aj - the kids are not ready for this and I don't think they know what they're getting into
Dontae - you're right but I'm training lotus personally so he'll be ready soon enough
Euphoria - you don't know me so don't speak about me
Aj - i'll kick your ass from here to next week so watch it little girl
Dontae - relax aj she's just a kid
Timothy - I won't let you lay a hand on her
Aj - i don't care if she was an ederly woman
(they all looked at him)
Aj - fine do whatever you want but when something happens to them you guys better be prepared for the consequences
Dontae - everyone downstairs, I need to talk to aj for a minute alone
(everyone headed downstairs to the training room and aj stayed)
Aj - what is it?
Dontae - are you ok? You seem out of it
(aj looked at him and finally spoke)
Aj - I just know how this plays out for us and I'm stressing out
(aj looked at him and smiled)
Aj - sorry for rambling on about nothing
(dontae knew he was holding something but he decided to change the subject)
