Chapter 51 - Chapter 28 Act II: Major recovery

*Iceland hospital*

*It seemed Lucia was awake on her phone. Meanwhile Traveler just regained his consciousness from the dream he was in. As he slowly got up in a sitting position Lucia looked at him and said*

Lucia: "Hey you're awake late.. are you okay?"

*He looked around him as he brushed his head before responding*

Traveler: "I'm fine.. just.. slightly confused..."

Lucia: *setting her phone down* "Why? Has something happened? Did you have a nightmare?"

Traveler: *forgetting most* "I don't know.. i did have a nightmare of sorts.. i helped the Town of Smarand people with Saiki.. it seemed our minds were connected in the same dream... By me honestly it felt like a nightmare.. my eyes.. everything... They burned badly."

Lucia: "Let me look. You're probably still sleepy."

*She got up from her bed and walked towards him. She checked his eyes and nothing happened to them. It was probably the acid that he remembered.*

Lucia: "Hmm no. You're completely fine. Must be a traumatic moment i suppose. Well i was waiting for Dr.Sandro to confirm to us if we're able to go or not. I must get back to my girls! They all miss me surely."

*Meanwhile inside the Assassin Squad Center.*

Asuna: "Go Saiki! Come on! You're almost there!"

*Saiki was mad* "You keep dodging! Ugh! Stop!"

*She was making fun of her at their favorite fighting game*

Asuna: "Hehe and special! GG's! You gotta train harder girl! You'll beat me one day."

Saiki: "I hate you.. you know that?"

Asuna: "Ehe~ sure you do! I'll go post more stories. I'm getting bored!"

*Back at the hospital*

*Dr.Sandro entered the room with a small tablet in his hand*

Sandro: "Good morning you two. I presume you slept well last night?"

*Lucia nods but Traveler.. doesn't.*

Sandro: "Hmm something happened?"

Traveler: "Not really.. just a nightmare.. that's it."

Sandro: "Understood." *He approached them* "So, your condition is stable and ready to be discharged. You don't need to worry about the pay, The President has it covered on her behalf especially since you and your team has protected the nation from what could've been it's demise.. even tho we're getting attacked again soonly enough.. hopefully everything will end up smoothly."

Lucia: "We understand.. and we'll keep protecting Iceland until we die doctor. Thanks for everything."

Sandro: "No worries miss Lucia that's everything i could've done. You are free to go. Your equipment and everything else was already transported back towards your center so no need to worry about that. Just have a great walk there or more reccomendedly take public transport there. Great days in advance!"

*Lucia nodded took Traveler and left the room.*

*38 minutes later.*

*Door opens*

Saiki: "Huh? Boss!" *She jumped from the couch and immediatelly came for a hug*

Lucia: "Hey Saiki! Glad you're feeling well! Where's everybody else?"

Saiki: "Aru is probably sleeping still.. Asuna just beat me at our fav video game.. but she should be in her room.. and Azusa.. sister.. i didn't see you today... So i would'nt know..."

Lucia: "What about Seia?"

Seia: "I'm here."

*Seia was hanging on the ceiling below Saiki in which she immediatelly got startled and jumped back.*

Saiki: "WAHH! SEIA! WTF!"

*Seia giggled and dropped down from the ceiling*

Seia: "Sorry for scaring you~ i was just trying to make a better entrance."

Traveler: "Can see that... How'd your locking session go?"

Seia: "Not the best.. i slept at 4:38.. it was almost the time Asuna got up for her morning coffee.. but i slept eventually."

*Asuna emerged from her room finishing the talk with her mother.*

Asuna: "Oh boss! I missed you!"

*They did their usual fist bump followed by a hug*

Asuna: "How are you feeling! You look very energetic!"

Lucia: "Eheheh.. you wish.. i just got a good sleep i guess..."

Asuna: "What about you tough guy?"

Traveler: "Nightmares.. my eyes.. my precious eyes..."

Asuna: "What the fuck happened to your eyes? You look totally fine."

Traveler: "Burned.. Acid... FUCK! I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT!"

Saiki: "Ohhhh! When that Acid rain poured! Yea poor soul got his eyes burnt.. we were in a dream.. we fought against the titan again inside the Town of Smarand.. we helped the 3 sisters save their town.. they'll assist us for what's about to come soonly..."

Asuna: "Really!? That's why i felt earthquakes last night!"

Saiki: "Eeehhhh... Sorry~?"

*Lucia looked at her worried and slightly annoyed*

Lucia: "What did you do?!"

*She hid her face before saying everything fast* "I'm sorry boss! I had to unleash my FieryShadoKen against the titan! Maybe that's what Asuna felt over the night!"

Lucia: "Oh? That's it?"

"EHHHH!?" *She made a very weird face still being scared thinking Lucia was angry about something else.*

Lucia: "You think i was mad about that! Hah! Silly you! I thought you did something worse than that."

Saiki: "You're not mad!?"

Lucia: *kneeling to her level* "Girl you should never be worried about that if you used it to a good cause!"

Saiki: "R-really...?"

Lucia: *nodding* "Yes really! Who do you think i am! A monster? Hell no girl! Do what the fuck you want! Unless it harms you. Then don't."

Saiki: "Thank you boss! You're the best!"

Lucia:**"Hehe~ i always am~"**

*Azusa came through the door holding some bags*

Saiki: "Sister!!!"

Asuna: "Next person..."

Azusa: "Hey everybody! Oh? Boss! You're back!"

Lucia: "Mhm! Fine and dandy! Where did you go?"

Azusa: "Oh me? I was at the mall. Also Asuna. You're lucky i found these." *She throws the clothes she bought to her*

Asuna: "Eeeee! Thank you Thank you!!! I love you girl!" *She instantly went to her room locked the door and tried them on. It weren't just usual clothes*

Lucia: "Did yall eat?"

Seia: "I certainly did. I don't know about them."

Saiki: "I didn't... I'm starving..."

*Lucia gasped*

Lucia: "Oh my god Saiki! Why didn't you tell Asuna or Seia! You always wait for me!"

Saiki: "But boss..."

Lucia: *sighs* "I know.. i always make the best food.. but sometimes you gotta try their as well alright? Atleast until you learn to cook alright?"

Saiki: "Yes... boss..."

Lucia: *holding her hand* "Come now. I'll make ya anything you want. You name it."

*They went both happy with Saiki happier than a cheerleader to the kitchen*

Seia: *sighs* "She just won't grow up..."

Traveler: "Ay she's very cute tho! You gotta admit!"

*Side eye*

Seia: "Where you going with that statement?"

*His face turned red but it wasn't for that reason*

Traveler: "Hey! Hey! Hey! That's not the reason im saying that! Come on! You're always putting it the bad side!"

Seia: "Ehe~ because i love to! I'm the baddest queen you'll ever see in this nation!"

*Asuna emerged from her room in a maid outfit*

Seia: "Girl you asked Azusa to buy you a maid outfit!? What the hell is wrong with you! Who're you smashing tonight!"

Asuna: "N-no one...? I just love these and wanted to have one for myself."

Seia: "That's why your top is slightly revealing then huh? You want some space? Or am I right?"

Asuna: "NO YOU'RE NOT!"

Traveler: *just analyzing her appearance*

Seia: "And you got your first admirer here!"

Traveler: "S-Seia! Come on!"

Asuna: *turning to him* "Do you like what you see? Hmm?"

Traveler: "N-no..." **"YES!"**

Asuna: "Uhh whatever.. i have others to try on! Don't disturb me! There are daggers awaiting your heart if you enter my room!"

*She slammed her door and locked it*

Seia: "You do you!"

Traveler: "Can i just say go to hell?"

Seia: "Hmm? And why's that?"

*He was furious*

Traveler: "What do you mean why's that!? How dare you tell Asuna that! And i did not like that!"

Seia: "Ohh pretty boy~ you were looking hard and you dare talk back to me on that topic!"

Traveler: "Just.. sybau please..."

Seia: "What? What do you mean?"

*He told her to forget it and just sat on the couch.*

*Well it seems she made 2 people angry in a short span of time. Lucia surely won't be happy about that. Azusa pretended she heard nothing and headed to her room and everyone else went over with their day*
