Chapter 35

                                    

                                          
Cooper was in bed halfway through sleep when he felt like someone was watching him as he slept, he reluctantly opened his eyes and he saw the shape of a man sitting in the corner of his room which made him instantly wake up. He sat up and stared at the corner that contained the man and the man sat up and began to make his way to Cooper's light switch to turn the lights on to reveal it was the cannibal that was roomed across Coopers room, how did he get out of his room and into Cooper's without Cooper noticing? They both stared at each other and Cooper finally got a good look at the man that had light red hair with white tips and light red eyes with melted black pupils as his place skin glowed in the light as his white long sleeve shirt that was ripped and bloodied red with some chunks of flesh missing on his arms and legs like if he bit them off. His black pants ripped and scratched along with him wearing black shoe lace shoes and bloodied white socks and he stepped towards Cooper and lean in as he seemed to be analyzing Cooper's face while he ran his hand through his shaggy hair slowly. Cooper was absolutely still as he waited for something bad to happen but the cannibal that had the name tag "Humble" on his white bloodied shirt and Humble was staring at Cooper before placing his hand out for a handshake that Cooper hesitantly shook and Humble backed away and sat on the floor quietly, there was a thick silence between the two for a while.
                          
Cooper did notice earlier that the other Parasites bowed to Humble when he walked by so he thinks that he must be the leader of the Parasites here and maybe was checking to see Cooper who was knew so it must be that or he plans to murder Cooper or something worse most likely as well. Humble was just sitting there without much of a word being said to Cooper then he finally spoke to poor confused Cooper who had been forced awake.
                          
"I'm the leader of the Parasites and I came to ask for your assistance in helping find us get the point across about what happens here. So many of us are killed only for their families to be lied to about what happened, with you on our side then we could show them. Will you help?" Cooper was staring at him.
                          
Cooper sighed before quietly nodding which made Humble smile and turn off the lights before he opened a hidden vent and crawled inside to what Cooper guessed led to his room and Cooper went back to sleep wondering what exactly would happen in the morning as he lay comfy in his bed. He felt himself slowly drifting off to sleep wondering why people hated Parasites so much if they rarely ever hurt anyone and only wanted to see their families again after many years of not seeing them anymore, Cooper didn't know. Cooper fell asleep.

Cole, Wrath, and Greed were back at the arena training again in the early morning like they had been for a while already and as usual Wrath was running 20 laps as his warm up before he actually starts his hard exercises for the day, Cole and Greed feel glad they didn't get the Joker Card job in the end as they saw Wrath do his heavy exercises that seemed painful and not one bit fun to do at 6am every morning. Wrath seemed to be enjoying himself as he was overall to have a job and prove himself worthy to everyone who denied him and because he genuinely wants to do a great job without fail as Joker Card's are rarely used because of how strong they are, that doesn't mean that their not used in the worst situations so Wrath is preparing for the worst there is in every mission or passing day.
                          
Wrath was working more than his best to be good at many things like boxing as you'll need all your skills ready when your a Joker Card and you need to be able to defend the others easily and take hits without being in much pain which causes a great advantage to the leader as the enemy will be too busy trying to take the Joker Card down. Each of the members expect Joker Cards to not mess up when their finally used and are counted on a lot to help the others win, specially their leader because they need to be able to do what they need to do or want to do in the fight without the enemy stopping them from doing so in the end. Cole had to work on his planning as the leader counts on him to make sure that nothing goes wrong or they have a back up plan in case something fails, the Right Hand Man is also supposed to stick by the leader and make sure they get information they need to know or keep secrets for the Leader no matter what may happen in the end. It almost always half way up to the Right Hand Man to lead the Joker Card or the Surprise when they are sent out to fight for their leader, Cole is learning more and more about Wrath and Greed's abilities and weaknesses they need to focus on so they can be better used in battles or missions without much difficulty for them. Cole needs to make sure that there's always a back up plan or that the current plan works well enough because if he fails to make a good enough strategic plan then all 3 of the people he's grown to care for are going to die or get heavily wounded if things aren't done well enough and Cole needs to prepare them for the new strategies that he makes or they won't be able to do what he told them to do.
