Atlas of Worlds (Pt. 1)

"she cares for you to too much... "

Volt nodded, but didn't say anything.

"Now why don't you show me this side of yours I haven't seen" prima said smiling.

Volt didn't smile back. "How?"

Prima sighed. "Can I just follow you two around? "

Volt muttered "Yeah, sure" but still didn't smile.

He didn't want her to be in his company and felt the bitterness was mutual.

"Or.. maybe not... I'm not wanted I suppose..." Prima said looking at Voltraire.

He looked at her, saying "You're right. I don't want someone that'd rather have me dead to follow me around and watch everything I do."

"Well it's not like you haven't done crimes that deserve the death penalty! I just wish to improve the relationship between us but if you want to keep things like that then fine!!! No second chance for you!!!" Prima glowed red and tried to punch Voltraire.

He took the punch without a flinch.

"I didn't say you can't go; I only said that I wouldn't enjoy it very much," he retorted, piercing her with his gaze. "But I guess I can't expect someone like you to know the difference, now can I?"

"What?! How dare you say that!!!"

He smiled. "Funny," he continued on. "It's almost sad on how you only noticed the second part of what I've said and not the first, which was the important one."

With a sigh, he turned to Liela. "We should just leave her alone. It's beyond obvious that she doesn't want this to be any other way."

"I guess..." Liela looked sad. "Maybe next time, prima. Why don't you go find someone else to hang out with you"

Volt approached Prima. "Two things I want to say before I leave," he said. "If you want to hear them, that is."

"I will listen"

He leaned in and whispered 'I forgive you' and 'sorry' into her ear.

"That is all." After saying the last bit, he just left the room.

Liela followed voltraire. Prima smiled for a moment before realizing she was left in the room alone again. "Alone again..." She sat back down looking at the floor.

"Don't say I didn't give her a chance," Volt muttered as he walked through a hallway. "I tried."

He then stopped in his tracks by Jinsoku, who was also trying to move through the hallway, touching one side of it to get his bearings. "Dude, seriously? Can't you let us pass first?"

The former ninja stopped and turned to him. "I find it very easy to find the source of your voice despite this building's poor accoustics."

"Hey, I'm not that loud!"

Liela started laughing.

"You sneak-insulting jerk!" Volt leapt at him and the ninja dodged and weakly hit the back of Volt's head

"I'm sorry if you feel your title in this community is being stolen," the ninja replied. "If my fist were a sword, you'd be headless."

"Shut up!"

"Guys let's not start something."

The ninja walked backwards and pressed himself against the wall so that they could pass.

There would be a day where he would fight again, but today was not such day.

For now, his priority was locating food.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Volt announced victoriously as he walked past Jin. "Respect in effect, baby!"

"You are a very dishonorable man," the ninja stated. "You follow no code but your own."

"You got used to it after a while."

The ninja chose to remain silent.

"Ninja wannabes, I tell you," Volt said as he went. "Complete pushovers."

"I don't know volt. You need to have some respect to her"
