26 Chapter Twenty-Six

"Milling Is Fun!!! Dirtying our hands, wearing uncomfortable boots, and rumbling noise. I love all that.. Don't you, JJ??"

"Crazy woman.. Funia, I'm tired... I'm young. I want to waste me time while I'm still me young.."

"JJ doesn't go well with you. Stop complaining and help me find a suitable nickname for you..."

"Nash.. Nash will do, Funia."

And back in the city, a conference was taking place. The first official meeting between the people, the mayor department and Electra.

"Welcome everyone. I'm Christine Joshoix and today will be about you and Electra. After a few demands, Electra finally accepted to come. Electra, who are you?"

"..A helping friend.."

"...Okay.. Maybe you could help us understand how of a 'helping friend', you are to this city, to the people watching you."

"..I too was at the bottom. And I too was looking up to people. But I realised that I was wrong. Heroes and Villains only look after themselves.. So, who was going to take care of you...? Children becoming orphans.. Parents becoming widows.. Families destroyed... I wanted to change that. This city has been under the reign of stupid and careless people. I took it from them to save you. I am your 'helping friend'."

"...Thank you for your words. I understand your reasons and whys. And I want to ask you a last question? A last question from the people."

"Go on, Mayor."

"If your lover, your fiance Karin Jones is in danger. And you must choose between someone of this city and her. Who will you save, 'helping friend'??"

Trying to catch her off-guard, the reverse happened. Her answer was lit. Taking anyone by surprise, Electra said something no hero/villain could say before...

"This city. Always this city. I truly love this city. This city is my family..."

Lie. Lie.. Lie... She's lying.. I can see it. I can feel it. Fuck!!!!

"Thank you for coming today, Electra. The people wanted to see their saviour and they are happy. I am happy. Let's shake hands as a symbol of peace."

And I was right..

"Your questions, I will forget their real meaning. If you don't want me to punish you for it, come this address tonight at ten. Disobey me, and your son will really experience a hit-and-run.. Was I clear?"

"..Y....Yes..."

I was right. She's worse than the heroes/villains who were here before. She's the True Devil, Never a 'helping friend'..
