Chapter 286: WTF Did You JustSay!?

"Oh… Greetings, sister."

"What do you mean 'greetings'!?"

And as soon as Riley was done with his words, Hannah quickly rushed towards him; her fists, already on their way to his head. But even so, Riley did not move as the reflection of Hannah grew larger and larger into his eyes.

And not only did he not move, he even stretched his arms to the side to welcome Hannah's fist– but it didn't come. Instead, Hannah wrapped her arms around him; probably too tight. She wasn't using her abilities, yet Riley could still feel a certain warmth emanating from her body.

"You… you little shit," Hannah then whispered as she rested her face on Riley's chest; her words, muffled and slightly stuttered, "If… If you were released from prison, then you should have gone straight to us."

"I can't, sister," Riley only let out a sigh as he slightly rested his chin on Hannah's head, "I can't go outside without the supervision of my fellow members from the Hope Guild."

"Things… things have been getting crazier and crazier since you were gone," Hannah tightened her embrace even further, "The clones are getting rampant, the fucking Hero Association… and now we're being invaded by aliens– the world is going to shit. It's been going to shit ever since Megawoman was defeated."

"I noticed, sister," Riley once again sighed.

"And… and to think the fucking government was experimenting on Megawoman," Hannah's words continue to muffle, "They weren't happy with the clones they made?"

"As you said, sister. The world is going to shit."

"Hm… but did you just try to enter the fucking portal?" And almost instantly, the tone of Hannah's voice changed as she pushed herself away from Riley, "What did you think you were going to do, you fuck?"

"I wanted to torture all the aliens so they could sing me a song, sis–"

"Don't fucking answer that! Just say you're sorry!"

"...For what?"

"Agh! I don't miss this part when dealing with you!" Hannah almost pulled out her hair as she looked at her brother. But after a few seconds of trying to calm her breaths down, her eyes started to scan the people that were still frozen until now,

"What… do you plan on doing to them?"

"I was going to leave them like this forever, sister," Riley answered, "So that they could contemplate and think of what they have done to Megawoman for the rest of their lives."

"..." Hannah's eyes quickly became dead.

"They won't die," Riley quickly noticed his sister's expression, "I would give them food, directly floating food through their mouths. As for the bowel movements, I have not quite–"

"Release them now."

"But sis–"

"Now."

"..."

And with a short but almost disappointed sigh, the sound of gasps started echoing several times in the air; the helicopter blades which had stopped drumming in the air, once again letting out a quiet thunder as the pilot seemed to be trying to stabilize their hover in the sky.

"Most of these men and women are just following orders, Riley," Hannah sighed, "That doesn't excuse much of their actions, but the one that should really pay for whatever it is they were doing with Megawoman are those government fucktards sitting on their fat-ass seats doing nothing but scheme and– can you let go of that camera?!"

Hannah could not help but abruptly stop with her words as she noticed a camera hovering around them.

"It is fine, sister. I am just getting used to the camera since I will become an actor soon."

"...What?"

"I was coerced to audition by Miss Hera."

"...I guess it doesn't matter for now," Hannah could only shake her head as she listened to her brother's words, "None of those matter until we deal with the immediate threat. These aliens just keep on popping up out of nowhere. And also…

…can you put the city down now!?"

"..." Riley stared at Hannah for a few seconds; almost like a child not wanting to put down a toy. But after a few more seconds, the city of Toronto once again started to descend to the ground; causing all the people that were there to tumble and roll on the cracked pavement they were standing on.

None of them wished to fight or try to apprehend Riley anymore; why would they? They weren't being paid enough to deal with a monster like this; it was almost as if asking them to fight Darkday.

And so, after a few minutes; a somewhat loud howl reverberated through the air as the city of Toronto was once again finally placed back to the ground– almost like it never left in the first place. Whether or not it would have a lasting effect on the terrain and the surrounding ecosystem, well… this was no time to think about it.

The people that were previously frozen all started running away; running towards the vehicles they had hidden all over the place. Were they hiding here in the first place? Riley thought as he watched them all leave.

Of course, he also returned the camera he had borrowed from the helicopter, he wasn't a thief, after all.

"I need to return to Hope Guild, sister," Riley then said as he approached Hannah, "I can't proceed any further without someone supervising–"

"Fuck, look around you? You think the authorities care?" Hannah rolled her eyes, "And since when did you care about the authorities in the first place!?"

"I have huge respect for the law, sister," Riley blinked a couple of times.

"You… forget it," Hannah waved her hands, "If you're going to the Hope Guild, then we're going with you…

…Baby Crew, finish whatever it is all of you are doing, and let's meet at the base of the Hope Guild."

[Sure, just gonna wipe the floors with these guys first.]

[Affirmative, big sister.]

[Got– Fuck, do you even cultivate, bro!?]

[For reals? Finally, I have had it with these motherfucking aliens in this motherfucking place!]

[I… I think I'll be a little late– Eep!]

"Meet you guys there," Hannah could only let out a smirk as she shook her head, "Surprise? We've known the Hope Guild's location since–"

"Gary put a tracker on my pocket?"

"Wait… he put it in your pocket!? He told us he put it in a place where you wouldn't even notice! That stupid fucking giant!"

"..." Riley only watched as Hannah let out her frustrations… which lasted probably half a minute before her breaths completely calmed down.

"A… anyway," Hannah burst into flames as she floated in the air, "Let's go, I used a jet to get here. It should get us to the base of the Hope Guild in a few hours…

…you excited to meet the others yet? You've met with Gary like a week ago, right? Oh god, you've only been out for like a week and everything's gone to the gutter."

"I'm not excited, sister."

"Pft, of course not," Hannah shook her head, "Anyway, what's with the rumors between you and V? Even Gary was saying some shit that almost caused Tomoe to go ballistic; I swear, that girl is quiet but she's secretly an internet terrorist."

"Rumors?"

"You know, that you two are going at it?" Hannah chuckled, "Is she like your girlfriend now or something?"

"No, sister," Riley shook his head as he followed Hannah, "But we did have sexual intercourse back in the prison."

"I see."

"..."

"...What the fuck did you just say!?"
