Chapter 29 - 29 Divinity (1/2)
”So you're from another world?”.
”Correct”.
”And you knew us in that world?”.
”I knew of you yes”.
”And how did you get to out world again?”.
”.... I don't know exactly, but I have my suspicions”.
Black eyes met piercing blue ones as the granddaughter of Zeus stared at Gray in an interrogating manner. She, as well as Mareena and Kara, didn't detect any lies coming from the older male, but something didn't seem right to the demigod.
It wasn't the familiar presence that she felt earlier, something she had only felt once, when she met her Aunt Diana, but the sudden change in demeanor that Gray went through, which changed his aura was well as his presence.
Their was nothing hidden inside his body so they ruled out being controlled by something technological, but the three new members of the Team didn't rule out the possibility of mind control. Many enemies of the Justice League possessed telepathic abilities, and used then for nefarious purposes.
And if this ”Gray's” knowledge was true, than perhaps it could be used against them. Them and the rest of the League.
She peered at the twenty year old who reached up to the top shelf of his apartment and took out four glasses. Wondergirl looked on with narrowed eyes as she filled three up with water, and the last one with an alcoholic beverage.
Cassie wanted to take the drink away from the twenty year old, but found him smiling at her while taking a sip black eyes still staring into blue ones.
”Anyway, what is your plan in regards to our universe, Graham? Don't you want to go back to your Earth? See your family again?”.
The Pseudo-Servant froze for a moment before shaking his head.
”Not really. If I go back to my world now, I'll either get sent back here or hunted down and experimented on. The Mages back home would love to get their hands on me. See what makes me tick”.
Cassie, Mareena and Kara all looked at the calm looking young man in shock, before the sixteen year old Kryptonian tilted her head in confusion.
”Experiment? Because of your powers?”.
Gray nodded.
”Mages are both an admirable and insidious bunch if I remember them correctly. Doing whatever it takes in order to reach ”the Truth”. Some do so with honor and dignity, while others do so at any cost..... somebody like me, would just be putting my family in harms way, rather than protecting them”.
Gray's tone and expression neither faltered nor wavered during his explanation. The lack of emotion disturbed the three girls, but all three of them felt sorry for the twenty year old in front of them.
Kara, who felt bad for the Pseudo-Servant, gave him a small smile in consolation.
”At least their still alive Gray. Doesn't that give you any peace of mind?”.
Gray raised an eyebrow at the pretty blonde's words but he shrugged his shoulders and took another sip of his drink. The burning sensation was only felt for a moment, before vanishing with any form of buzz the drink might have given him.
The Rider Class Card was nearly fully integrated with Gray's soul, and had changed his body as a result. The memories, feelings, emotions, experiences that Achilles felt were all Gray's now, and the Lancer Class Card was slowly becoming the same.
Two heroes. One a demigod with near perfect invincibility and a speed that no other Servant could match. The other an immortal witch, the Queen of the Land of Shadows, whose talent for teaching was rivaled by only one.
Both gave Gray a near invincible body, the former having on fatal flaw the the latter fixed. The former also enhancing the immortality of the latter.
A boundless energy filled his body. It was similar to the energy coursing through Cassie's body, but with a higher quality and quantity. Through the countless memories from Scathach, a single term came to mind.
Divinity.
