C10 Chapter 1.10

- Even if they drop money, I wouldn't do that. - Said Astro-Star.

- Even if yes, it's a lot of money, besides losing my soul, I would be rich, but my soul is very important to me, Barry. - Said Astro-Star.

- Yes. - Barry said. - For me too. - Barry said. – But what if it were by other means, like winning the lottery, what would you do with 700 billion dollars, plus 30 gold bars.

- What a dream, Barry. - Diana was laughing. – That's a lot of money, really. - Diana said.

- I have no idea. - Said Astro-Star sitting in the leisure room of the tower.

– I, at least, would distribute a part. - He said. – There are many hungry and penniless people around the world. - Said Astro-Star.

- Scout as usual. - Diana said. - It's a good idea. - Diana said.

- You wouldn't do that, with that money. - Said Astro-Star. – If there was another way.

There was the attraction and seduction of sin itself, once, she was almost tempted, there was the temptation.

All heroes almost killed an innocent, even if it's almost, they were attracted to a chase.

Investigating and following heroes, it took its toll on her body, everyone thought she was drinking, or feeling sick in corners, but really, she hadn't slept, it had been four days.

They had constant fights, Astro-Star, Wonder Woman, various sprinters.

Her lack of sleep, it was going down to five, she was getting energetic and eating a lot, which she saw several heroes being cornered, and villains surrounding Diana.

Those bastards were giving some heroes double work, in a matter of the sixth day, Luther, made an appearance, and invited Nixty Selenity Delphos out together, the man managed to reschedule three times, four, until she couldn't find an excuse to avoid to meet.

Meanwhile, while being watched by prying eyes and spies, at that time when Nixty Selenity Delphos and the gamblers were watching them...

The heroes were in the Watch Tower, while the silence was heavy.

After a while in silence they started talking, exchanging reports of a tiring day of humanitarian aid, they almost killed or let children die who were kidnapped by a villain, Astro-Star almost dropped a child towards a cliff.

- I can't keep fighting. - Said Astro-Star.

- What there was? - Diana asked.

- I need to go to the fortress. - Said Astro-Star.

- What's going on, Klaus? – A hero arriving there questioned.

- I'm not as steel as I imagine. - Said Astro-Star.

Between your missions, unaware of spies and gamblers.

In the meantime, Nix was following them, while Astro-Star, Diana and various heroes, of greater or lesser degree, were being tried and tested.

There was a fight at the end of helping some girls, they were angry, and they went to fight.

For hours, they didn't even speak.

Nixty Selenity Delphos began making enough excuses to avoid even his children, some reporters, even avoiding contact with Clark, former Warriors Society classmates.

She had deep circles under her eyes and didn't look good, thin, couldn't hide it, not even with makeup, she was pale and stooped, she had white streaks on her head.

That was strange even for her, she looked on with a constant pained expression on her face, that moment, Nixty Selenity Delphos was shaking.

Well, she went to Luthers tower, panting, in a dark suit.

- What do you want, Luther? - She said.

- Apparently I scare him. – Entering your room.

- The finite situation. - Said Nixty Selenity Delphos.

Her vision left Lex unresponsive, she looked worse at sight, deciding it wouldn't do any good to wear her makeup or whatever.

- You are sick. - Luther said looking.

- A little. – She said, taking an offered glass of wine, her lips were dry and bluish, looking at herself in the mirror after what she felt, it wasn't scary.

- So your trip is for that. – Luther said.

– Yes, I have a trip to resolve this at the end of the month. - Said Nixty Selenity Delphos.

- Want to come back? – Luther asked.

- I intend to come back better. - Said Nixty Selenity Delphos. – It's just bad days. - She said.

- I understand. 'They were heading towards Luther's dinosaur museum, taking the elevator down with her.

- You had something to share with me, before you saw me. - Said Nixty Selenity Delphos.

- That Seleniano, and the Society know? – Luther asked.

- They only know that I'm taking a sabbatical. - Said Nixty Selenity Delphos.

– If the why, I didn't say, and they didn't notice.

They are coming here. – Luther said. – I have something to share with you. – Luther said.
