Chapter 6 // The Reunion

                                    

                                          
Lena sighs and looks down "It's quite the name... Temptress. But it just doesn't suit me, I am not like that. I would have liked Minerva, as bad as it sounds its better. Because it means the mind or intellect. And-" Kara chuckles which makes Lena stop talking and look up at Kara. 
                          
"You know that you, Temptress. Can create your own version of it. It doesn't mean you need to use your body and that. No you can actually use your mind to outsmart people- help people."
                          
Lena slowly nods Kara is right, even a prophecy isn't that precise. So she can make it her own. And Kara even encourages her to do that. Lena smiles a little and says "You are right, a prophecy is never that precise. So- I can be myself even though I am following a string of fate," She chuckles which makes Kara get a crinkle on her face since she doesn't get why Lena is chuckling "I never thought I would say that, I am not really a believer in things like that. Heck, I am not even religious. Which is probably good because you hate that other guy. But believing in fate and prophecies, it's quite difficult."
                          
Kara's crinkle disappears and she speaks up "I get it, it's difficult for you. But don't worry, you have quite some time to get used to it. And about the control room, it's just a room where the world gets viewed on. Some people make reports back there but others go out to literally stalk the person. Which is creepy... but that doesn't matter. What needs to be done gets done. But that room is actually some sort of gigantic hall, yes it is. And in that hall many viewing screens, who get called stalker screens by the guys higher up. But right now I was talking about the screens... right. Alex will teach you how to use them- And my time is up! I need to go. I am sorry, I talked to much. Alex will answer your questions if you have any."
                          
And with that Kara stands up, walks towards Lena. Gives the woman in question a kiss on her cheek and with that she disappears into thin air. Kara appears again just outside James' apartment block inside an alley. She sits down and looks at her watch, she needs to wait exactly three minutes and seven seconds. Because that's how long it will take for Alex to fly to the control room.
                          
Suddenly a guy stands in front of her, blocking out the light. He speaks up in this low and demanding voice "Give me your wallet."
                          
Kara looks up, he has a knife in his hand, and chuckles "Sure, could you help me get up so I can grab it from my back pocket?" He raises his eyebrow but holds out his hand, so stupid. She grabs his hand and holds her other hand up. With a flick of her wrist a couple of demons land and attack him. He lets go of her hand and looks scared around him. He is outnumbered, and he completely missed how those other people got there. 
                          
Kara just laughs and says "Give him what he deserves, nothing more." And with that she walks away from the fight. She looks at her watch that is connected to this timezone and sees that she has twenty-seven seconds left. She sighs and grabs her phone from her back pocket. She shakes her head and crushes her phone, she sighs when she let's the parts fall to the ground because it wasn't worth it. With a wave of her hand the phone lies on the ground, looking completely new. 

                          
She quickly grabs it and checks her watch, it's finally time. But should she wait longer? Knowing Lena is scared of flying? No- no. She will make her way upstairs, trusting that they are already there. She walks to the apartment complex and a movement of her finger the front door opens. If Lena saw this, which she probably does she would be gasping. This thought makes Kara chuckle and with a smile on her face she walks to James' apartment. 
                          
Just before she is about to knock she cleans her clothes a bit. Again by just twitching her eye, just to mess with Lena. With a grin on her face she knocks on James' door. Her grin fades and changes into a smile, because she knows that grinning isn't the best way to do this. The door swings open and there stands James. Kara holds out her hand for him to shake. He looks confused for a second but he grabs her hand and says "James Olsen"
                          
Kara smile turns into a gentler one as she says "Kara Morningstar."
                          
Kara looks at him and asks "So, Jimmy. I am here to help you. Everything about this conversation you will forget but I am here to truly help. Could we maybe sit down for this? I don't want you to pass out." He looks confused again and hesitantly nods. With that he walks to the couch and leaves the door open for Kara. Kara closes the door behind her and sits down on the couch. "So James, I am the Devil. Which you will probably not trust. But I am going to make your life better, the only thing you need to do is sign your soul over. And that won't mean that you will have an awful life in hell. No- no, it will mean that your soul will do labour while your mind has a great time. So, Jimmy. Are you ready to sign?"
                          
Kara holds up her hand and a paper appears. Out of her pocket from her pants she grabs a pen. The paper is basically a contract with many small letters, but he won't remember this so there is no need to read it. He hesitantly grabs the paper from and pen from Kara and signs. Kara smiles and grabs everything back "Good luck with your sister." She stands up and walks out of the apartment. She stops dead in her tracks when she closed the door behind her. She listens very carefully and hears him blink, twice. That means he forgot, good.
