Chapter 143 by TheDespaxas TheDespaxas

Well, it's a bit awkward!

Don't panic!

Moira threw the pink towel towards John who missed it. It ended falling on his dick, hiding it from her view but still showing its length and status.

"Newman? How will you explain this one?" asked the Warden, apparently both amused and exasperated to run into him once again and in such circumstances.

"I actually can't, but I really would like to know how the hell you are here at this exact moment. I didn't know I would be here, how could you guess it? And what about the towel?" he countered, her presence here was even more suspicious than his own and he was kneeling naked in the middle of the road. He got on his feet, letting the towel drop on the ground. For a moment Moira didn't reply, her mind temporarily focused on something else. Now that the blocks had been removed, John equipped the clothes he had worn to Anna's place. Moira regained her composure and explained her presence.

"Lorelei called me really early this morning, she had a vision in her sleep. She said something strange would happen, that a huge burst of energy would occur, at this spot, at precisely that time. She said she saw me waiting here for it to happen and that I had my towel with me for some reason. I take her warnings seriously, such bursts happen when creatures from the Abyss try to invade our reality, or when highly powerful mages fight. Now explain to me why there is no threat and all I found here is you with your dick hanging out?" she explained. John remembered the blind blonde girl from the meeting at the manor, a seer from what they told him. He wondered how much she knew. Did she only see a towel, paradoxically as it was only there because she said to bring it, or did she ask her to bring it knowing he would be naked, in which case she could have asked Moira to bring clothes...

"I'm not sure I can tell you everything. I did something that I shouldn't have, someone expects me to fix it. What I assume are usual threats have been made and telling you who or what is part of the things that could made them act on those threats. I will probably be able to fix the thing asked of me, even if I really don't like it. I fucked up, for reasons insignificant in regard to the reality of the situation, I have to assume responsibility for my mistakes." he explained, dead serious. John was pretty sure that Moira had ways to know when he was telling the truth, so he tried hard to only ever say things that were technically true, even if they didn't give her enough information.

"Can you tell me what kind of threats? And what I can do to help, even without you telling me what this is about?" asked Moira, she had sworn to protect him and took matters of honor seriously.

"I could use a ride home right now. And the threats are multiple, from the obvious ones to more insidious. Could you protect Anna and my mom without them knowing about it? Before any of this happened I was actually going to ask you how to go about telling Anna the truth about me and my powers, maybe my mother too one day. One of the threats is to reveal all of it to them and cast a shadow on our relationship, maybe destroying it in the process. Are there rules about introducing family and loved ones to this? Would they be safer not knowing about it, even if others know about them?" he inquired. Moira looked at him, trying to read his expression and listening to what he said. She knew that she was lucky to live in a family knowing about the Abyss, late bloomers appearing outside of known lines or clans often had a lot of issues hiding this world and their powers from their social circle.

"If you say that me knowing more will put them in danger I will trust you on that, I don't think you would lie about them. As far as telling people, it will be hard. People often face serious trust issues when they tell others about it. If you had not already gotten in trouble, I would have said to try and keep it a secret for a bit longer, but if you are serious about your girlfriend, you shouldn't wait too long, relationships built on lies are doomed to fail. We already have someone watching your mom, I'll send another agent to protect Anna after school and will keep an eye out at school. Now, get on!" she said, tapping on the spot behind her with her hand. John straddled the bike behind her after recovering the towel from the ground and putting it in his inventory for safe keeping. Only then did he remember that what he wore the day before at Anna's house didn't include his blue boxers and that his erection was pressed against Moira's butt cheeks.

"Sorry about waking you up early," he told her, trying to defuse the situation. He wasn't wearing a helmet this time and neither did she. John had absolutely no idea where he was, so he opened the map part of his interface. He wasn't far from home but the city map he was seeing was mostly greyed out, only the place he when to this last week were revealed.

Moira dropped him a block away from his house, to avoid being seen too often in front of it.

"John, I know you think you have things under control and it is noble of you to right the wrongs you have done even if it costs you, but please be careful about what you promise to do and the deals you make. These people cannot be trusted and the wrong words could be used to put you in situations where you owe them a lot more than you expected," she warned him.

"Actually, there's something you maybe could help me with. Do you have something to make people forget what they saw? For when innocent people witness monsters or something like that? I can fix the thing I did, but doing it without being noticed will be hard. I'll return it to you afterwards of course and it would still help even if it is a short length of time impacted," he explained. Something like that would be very dangerous in the wrong hands and John shuddered at the thought that someone had scratched the memory of the events of Friday from most of the people at school.

Moira called her shield from her medallion and got a small device looking like the shutter from a old camera mounted into a metalic half sphere.

"It's an oblivion charm, Cornelius made it in case... Well exactly for what you described. Hold the lens towards the person and say oblivion they will forget half an hour. It can work on multiple people at once with one charge, but the time decrease by 10% for each person. It has 10 charges left and I want it back." she said, throwing it to him and speeding away the second he caught it.

John walked to his house and to the tree on the side facing his room. He put on his special boots and climbed up. He then created a Shadow Clone inside his room, making him open the window and help him get in after the jump.

John looked at the alarm clock on his night stand. The place he had been sent must have had a strong temporal distortion, because he still had nearly half an hour before his usual wake up time.

Without anything better to do in mind, John decided to try to give the appearance of normality by unlocking his door, stripping naked and slipping in his bed, pretending to sleep while realizing the deep shit he was in.

A normal morning in a new week.
