Chapter 47.5
"Jason," Ava called out again and Jason frowned. This entire time, his phone had been ringing nonstop but both he and Elizabeth had ignored it.
"Alright, alright," Jason replied. "Send the info to my Holo-lenses."
After reading the information that A.V.A sent, Jason's lust quickly died and he moved Elizabeth to the side before pulling himself out. Elizabeth moaned as she felt his rod leaving her and Jason also wistfully looked at her entrance, wanting nothing more than to return to her warmth but he still moved to get up.
"What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked. She realized that it must be important if Jason was so impatient, especially since he was rather reluctant to part with her before reading the message.
"Nothing much. Just a bunch of flies buzzing around my daughter and her friend," Jason answered. He noticed how distraught Elizabeth was when he mentioned Alice and he sighed before moving to kiss her. "We'll make one of our own."
"Huh?" Elizabeth tilted her head bemusedly, trying to understand what Jason meant as she pushed her tumultuous feelings aside.
"A sister. We'll make a sister for Alice," Jason replied seriously and Elizabeth blushed. "Not a brother . . . I'm not good with boys."
"Get ta 'ell out of ere!" She smacked Jason and shooed him away.
"Guess I'll take that as a yes?"
"You - shameless rogue!"
"Mhm. Just how you like'em."
With a bit more physical teasing, Jason quickly left the hotel by jumping through the window. Because he knew that a situation might occur, he had been practicing how to quickly switch from his ordinary clothes to his Fenrir armour. He had become proficient these past few weeks and now he could call his armour from his dimension onto his body in less than three seconds even when he was falling.
"Jason . . ." A.V.A was about to begin protesting on how Jason was ignoring her during a crucial moment but he cut her off almost immediately.
"Ava, warn Melanie and Emily," Fenrir growled. Halfway to the ground, his Pivot Grapple activated and he swung to another building before disappearing from Elizabeth's gaze. "I'll be there in but a moment."
"Show off," Elizabeth muttered under her breath before swearing as she gingerly walked to the bathroom to shower, her lower body wracked in pain. As she let the hot water glisten her skin, she thought about Jason, her relationship with him and the other women around him.
I'll need to meet them someday again, Elizabeth thought. Especially that bony lass. I'm not sure what she has planned, but I can't leave a snake like her unattended.
The hot water that cascaded down Elizabeth's body couldn't douse the heat she felt inside. Thinking of Jason's words, Elizabeth sighed and tried cleaning herself properly.
Shite. He poured so much inside of me . . . I really might get pregnant. Even though Elizabeth was complaining internally, she had a smile on her face as she dreamily imagined her and Jason holding a child. Their child. A lad would be lovely, though he wants a lass. We'd be together, as a family . . .
Elizabeth sighed as reality came knocking down on her. Even if they had a child, she doubted they could ever be a conventional couple or even family. Whether it was by decision or fate, life was never normal for either of them, and it never would be.
Ah, well, we'll deal with it when it comes, yeah, Elizabeth thought as she came out of the shower and dried herself. In the meantime, I'm craving lobster.
She could hear Jenni and Tommy in the living room and realized they had returned after a long time. Looking down, she sighed again when she noticed that she was once again in towels after another shower; clearly, it was obvious what had happened between her and Jason.
"Ah, fuck it," Elizabeth muttered as she readied herself before leaving the bathroom.
As soon as Jenni saw Elizabeth, she grinned knowingly and wolf-whistled.
"You two make up with angry sex, boss?" Jenni asked teasingly and Elizabeth rolled her eyes.
"Shut ye gob, Jen," Elizabeth said, unaware that her cheeks were flushed.
"Aw, you're blushing!"
"Where are 'e in getting the stage ready?" Elizabeth asked, ignoring Jenni as her skin turned a shade redder.
"Should be ready for next week, Liz," Tommy answered, his voice gruff.
"Good. But I've got a dead brilliant plan. Listen . . ."
The two listened to Elizabeth's plan rapturously with Jenni's grin growing bigger as she listened. By the end, she sniggered while Tommy said nothing, only growling in displeasure.
"Oh, that'd knock his undies right off. Hehe, good thinking boss," Jenni could imagine Jason's face and she sniggered again. "I'll make sure it'll happen."
"Great!" Elizabeth also chuckled as she imagined Jason's reaction. I can't wait for the concert.
At this moment, Elizabeth's phone rang and she picked it up without hesitation.
"Elizabeth Hyde here," Elizabeth said in her American accent.
"Freya. An interesting name," a cold, emotionless voice of a female said through the phone. "Named after the Goddess herself."
Elizabeth raised her eyebrow in surprise and amusement. Surprise due to the fact that A.V.A was autonomous enough to make a call herself without Jason's approval, and amusement as she had detected the slightest hint of disapproval in the AI's voice.
"Something you need, fax machine?" Elizabeth asked amusedly.
"In an hour, go to the coordinates Jason will be. He'll need you for an alibi."
"Coordinates? What coordinates?" Elizabeth asked innocently.
"The coordinates for the tracking device you planted on Jason," Ava answered stoically.
"Mhm, I like you," Elizabeth answered with a chuckle. "Alright, I'll play your game, little robot."

"A.V.A," Fenrir called out quietly. "What the hell happened here?"
Fenrir landed in front of the orphanage and paused, asking his AI quietly as he observed the carnage in front of him. The gate to the orphanage was smashed away, most likely by a large object at high speeds, and it barely hung on its hinges. Past it, the area glared orange as flames licked the building to ashes. From his vision, Fenrir was unable to see any of the children, Melanie, or Emily. His heart sank as he felt his vision turn red and A.V.A quietly answered him.
"You were too late, Jason."
