6 Abrupt Change and Family (2/2)

”Why is she smiling like that!?” Leo was really terrified when he saw her mom smiling like that while looking all calm.

”So?”

”Uhmm..before I explain this, can you get dad here mom?”

His mother raised an eyebrow when she heard that but still called him over.

”Henry, come here at the kitchen!” yelled his mom.

”Yes dear, coming”

Leo shook his head when he heard the soft tone coming from his dad.

”Do you need me for something, dear?”

”Explain” she didn't answer him and instead look at Leo but his dad didn't get angry because of it and also looked at Leo with a questioning gaze.

”With this” Leo strode forwards and he sent a pack of instant noodles to his Inventory but in the eyes of the 3 people it just disappeared.

”Phuff! Ahahaha! Are you actually trying to explain your way out of this by a silly magic trick” Aria laughed loudly with tears in her eyes while holding her stomach. Even his mom chuckled a bit and his dad had a surprised expression for a few seconds.

”I-I” Leo's face turned red from embarrassment.

”Well, I admit. What I did was pretty stupid and why did I even do that in the first place?” Leo thought to himself at how stupid that was.

”Fine, I'll show you guys something that might shock or scare you guys”

”Yeah, yeah. Don't worry I won't laugh this time brother” Aria said with a small laugh.

Leo just glared at her and proceeded on ”Armor On!” Leo raised his voice.

And Leo was instantly covered with a Suit of Armor as his parents and sister stared at the scene slack jawed at it.

A moment of silence.

”Wait, is that the Red Protector halo suit thing!?” It was Aria who broke the silence first.

”It is!” Leo said proudly.

”How did that suddenly appear from out of nowhere and where did you get it? Did you stole it or something?” asked his dad who had been silent up until now.

Leo looked at his mom instead if she's gonna ask too but it looks like she isn't and his dad had the same question in mind as she's just looking at him but this time with a more serious look.

”Of course I didn't steal it dad” after Leo said that, It at least made his parents breath a sigh of relief while his sister is circling around him with her eyes moving up and down gazing at the armor covering him with a pondering look.

”So how did you get this lump of metal or something then?” his mother asked softly this time but she wasn't able to hide the still worried tone behind it.

”You really shouldn't worry mom, I did not steal it. It just appeared in front of my door 2 da-yesterday inside a box and I thought someone was giving me a fridge or something but it wasn't though, that's it and It's called a Mjolnir Assault Protector or just Armor mom” Leo immediately came up with a passable excuse he thought trying not to make them worry and as the three of them started touching the Armor.

”And you didn't report this to the authorities?” his dad asked while he ran his fingers on the surface of the Armor.

”Yes! I mean no! I showed you guys this Armor because there was- hey! What happened?” Leo glared at his sister when the helmet suddenly disappeared and only an earpiece was left attached on his left ear.

”I just pressed this button here?” Aria tilted her head with an innocent look while the helmet appeared again when she pressed the button.

Shring ~ Tsuuk ~ Shring ~ Tsuuk ~ Shring ~ Tsuuk ~

The helmet would vanish and reappear then vanish again as Aria is seen repeatedly pressing the button just below the jawline of the helmet and Leo was just standing there with a rigid smile as his eyebrows keeps twitching and what annoyed him the most is his parents just standing there watching as they tried hard to keep themselves from laughing when they saw how stupid he looks right now.

”Aria! STOP!” Leo glared at his sister and probably the only thing missing right now is smoke coming out of his nose.

”Hehe” Aria had a cheeky laugh as she hastily hid behind her mother.

And his parents was looking at him with open mouths as they both thought ”Did he just raised his voice on Aria? Did he finally grown some balls?” as they both never imagined this day would come. If Leo knows what his parents currently thought of him, he'd probably spurt blood saying ” B-balls? Balls your sister!”. Fortunately, he can't, as he'd probably faint from blood loss and anger.

”Cough* Alright, stop playing around especially you Aria, behave” Their mother said like she's finally grown tired of this farce.

”Yes mom” Aria said in a weak voice while acting innocently.

”What are you? 8?” Leo thought when he saw Aria acting like that while his mother rubbed her head smiling.

”Continue to what you were supposed to say earlier” his mother said and he saw his dad getting a chair for his mother to sit on.

”Seriously? Why do I feel like I'm in the court now and I'm the defendant here? Now, I'm still wondering how the former survived all this” Leo said with the edge of his mouth twitching when he saw both his dad and his sister stood on both sides of his mom as she sat there on the chair with legs crossed looking at him.

”The only thing missing now is for both of them to wear a police uniform to complete this ridiculous scene” Leo thought again.

”Why aren't you saying anything?”

”Ahh, yes. As I was saying...” Leo took off the Power Armor and started narrating a story he hurriedly made up on the spot and the 3 people just listened on with eyes and mouths opened wide with a story that can only be heard from an insane person or a person with a few loose screws on their head.
