Chapter 28 - A Talk Among Friends

Heading back into town after their fight Face had Larry slung over his shoulder like a duffle bag with Anubis sitting on the other shoulder. His energy levels had reached the bottom and was on the verge of passing out after using up his contracted power again. Everyone was trying to settle down their nerves after the intense fight except for Deen who was trying to start a conversation with anyone who would listen.

"Hey, Hey, what can you do Ivan?" Deen asked Shaper following closely behind him.

"For the third time, it's Shaper!" He yelled. Then with a defeated sigh, he said "And I can shapeshift into almost any animal or combination of animals to help fight." he finished off as his arm began to grow wider and grow scales showing off his ability.

"Yeah, that's cool I guess," Deen said with a bored tone. "What about you Greg?" She continued while looking at Reaper silently following behind the group.

As he slowly looked up Reaper dined to not argue with Deen as he spoke up, "Superspeed."

"Running?" Deen groaned "That's not a superpower. Anyone can run."

"What about you Larry?" She said as he moved over next to Face nudging the motionless sniper on his shoulder.

"How do you know my name?" Larry asked between yawns he could not seem to stifle. still trying to fight off the weakness overcoming him.

"You just look like a Larry, that whole Larry vibe you give off you know?" She said merrily as she brought her hands to feel the air around him.

"What about you Deen? What can you and Grimm do?" Rak asked with hope to learn something about this new "friend" of theirs they picked up.

"I'm glad you asked!" Deen grinned seemingly waiting for that question to be asked. "You see, Grimm is invulnerable as long as she is awake, nothing can hurt her, only to people around her. Which is why I can come out all healthy like. She can't get hurt but she can still go to sleep like what happened earlier."

"And I!" she said in an even louder voice raising her scythe high "Have my trusty Cerebella, me and her have some memories together, and she can cut almost anything." She finished swinging her scythe around wildly.

"What can't it cut then? You seem to have had an easy time with that demon." Face chimed in. A bit aggrieved how hard he had it taking hits from the demon earlier.

"Why our bonds of friendship of course!" she yelled, followed by a laugh.

"What about this Jeffrey you keep talking about?" Face questioned.

"Cerrebella may have cut Jeffrey, but our bonds of friendship are as strong as ever. That's why he is still number one." Deen retorted.

"How did this guy become your best friend anyway?"

"Well he was the first person I ever saw, so that was just a dead giveaway that we would be friends. We also had so much in common like, he would scream all the time whenever he touched Cerrabella, in joy of course. So if he was crazy over her too then we were just fated to be best friends. We lived together for a whole 4 days, how could we not?" Deen said, happily reminiscing.

"Oh yea, do not mention Jeffrey to Grimm, she will get a little hysterical and be moody and it is just a nightmare to deal with." Deen finished

"Deen." Rak called out trying to get her attention "After you had to deal with Jeffrey, do you remember talking to anyone about joining our group? or know why we are here?"

"You mean Bob? The old guy right? Yea he came to talk to Grimm when she was in charge after Jeffrey left and she agreed to come to help out if it meant she did not have to look at that place again. I don't know what she was talking about, that place was great with so many friends who did what we wanted to do and no one around to say what we were doing was wrong."

"That senile old man, He should have warned me if he was dropping a bomb on me like this..." Rak thought to himself getting more annoyed listening to Deen ramble on.
