Adam stood in the alley, as he watch the last moments of the alternate universe crumbling to dust as it decays into nothing
The blood puddle had dried, but the horrific sight of what he had witness first hand hadn’t.
Priscilla stood nearby, her arms folded as she was now standing, her golden drill curls from her cheek as it flow long side the wind, her crimson eyes were unreadable.
As she now looked down at silent Adam and asked.
She asked her voice quiet and her deamour indifferent.
"Still have a crush on me? Even knowing I could snap you out of existence just as easily?"
Then... he shrugged, his positivity quickly returning.
"That version of me isn’t me."
"So it doesn’t really matter if that rip off lives or die."
She blinked in slight suprise at his response.
Adam added, his voice softening.
"For showing me. And for sharing that part of yourself. It means a lot to me that you did, I feel alot closer to you now big sis."
He met her eyes without flinching.
"Now that I know what Thesis can really do, I just have to work harder. If I want to stand beside you someday...and maybe even go up against that ability of yours."
"Pftt... As if you can beat a Great Spirit... But nothing beats a try I guess."
"I could care less if that wall was a Divine Spirit, I will win in the end someway, somehow."
Priscilla’s eyes widened slightly.
She had expected hesitation.
Maybe fear. Definitely distance. But not... this. Not calm resolve, sincere gratitude, muchless motivation.
"Tch... ridiculous boy."
She muttered under her breath.
With a huff, she turned away and extended her hand, not just her pinky this time. Her full hand, dainty and pale, fingers relaxed in invitation.
"Are we still having our outing or not?"
She asked, looking off to the side with a dignified pout.
"Don’t keep a lady waiting."
Adam smiled bright, and, warm.
"Where to next, my ever-beautiful guide?"
He asked, as Priscilla was the one showing him around.
"There’s a place we could go to test our your abilities more freely....
She said, her tone regaining some composure.
"Outside the city. Far from peering eyes. We can teleport there instantly from here."
But Adam, being Adam, tilted his head, then tightened his grip.
He bluntly said, and before she could react, he started running.
Priscilla stumbled in her heels, barely managing to keep up, as Adam drag her along running. At this point the two of them were long out of the alley way.
But Priscilla kept complaining as they went along.
"You impulsive brat, where the hell are you even taking me?! You’ve never been to the human world before...so...
But before Priscilla Adam turn around and met her with a wide smile and said.
"Which means there’s still plenty of fun I haven’t discovered. Come on! I’m sure we can find something amazing to do!"
"But what about testing your powers?!"
She shouted, barely keeping pace on the cobblestone road as her heels clicked furiously.
Adam suddenly jumped, and at this same time his horns began retracting.
And as they did, it shift from white to purple. A wave of space Astrum burst from beneath his feet as he control the gravity around his body and Priscilla.
In one swift motion, he scooped Priscilla into his arms, bridal style, and launched the both of them high into the sky.
"Hey...hey! Whaaat exactly do you think you’re doing?!"
She yelped, arms instinctively looping around his neck as they took off high in the sky.
They soared into the open air of Celestine City, the sun beating down on them like a spotlight from the heavens. Flying cars zipped past, neon trails glowing and flowing like ribbons.
Yet Adam moved gracefully, as manipulate the gravity around him to fly and move in the air.
"It’s beautiful up here. Just look down... And beside this also counts as testing my powers doesn’t it."
Adam said to Priscilla.
"Why can’t we have fun as we test them."
"Tss... Count your blessings, boy. I’m in a rare mood today."
"Well the sun is up, and that probably makes you sour as hell, no need to lie to me... But hey there can’t be cons without pros right...just look down, and trust me, it is a really beautiful sight from up here you know."
Priscilla scuff and sighed but ultimately gave in as she looked down as Adam requested of her.
And for a moment...just a moment, her breath caught in her lungs.
The towering skyscrapers, the glimmering light show of traffic below, the mirrored lakes of hologram and advertisment nestled between the metal and marble... It was unlike anything she had allowed herself to notice before in this place.
"I’ve never flown through the city ...
She murmured, her eyes softening at sight below.
"Glad I could be your first."
She slapped his shoulder lightly in response.
But besides that she remained firmly gripped to him as they fly through skies of Celestine.
At some point Adam carried her through the clouds, but not for long as they eventually drifted lower, gliding in gentle arcs over rooftops and plazas, until Adam’s eyes caught something in the distance.
He mentally said to himself as he caught sight of familiar place from high above the ground.
It was a cozy little dome-shaped shop nestled between a sky-garden and a monorail track, its signage glowing in playful pinks and blues.
[Blister] in Neon blue.
Quite a few people was present there buying different cold deserts and smoothies.
He said, eyes lighting up.
"That place sells ice cream!"
He grinned at her, as he began to descend to the shop below, Priscilla in arms.
Priscilla blinked again.
"...You’re completely insufferable."
But she didn’t say no, and for Adam that was another win in of itself.
"Hahaha... Just ease up a bit big sis... You will love it trust me on this."
