First group discussion

*Beep Beep*

Anakin stared down at his wrist for a moment, his concentration lapsed as his comms pinged a new message. His eyes narrowed for a second, placing the sound of the ping and finally remembering what it had been set to.

Looking at the time for a second, he realized that [Pheonix] would now be out of their session, and Anakin had a few questions that he wanted answered.

"Anakin?"

From the side Obi-wan Kenobi spoke up, Anakin finally remembering where he was at the very moment. At the bridge of a venator war ships that was leading a small fleet to their next campaign. Anakin wasn't happy that his small break had been interrupted by the CIS retaking one of the already liberated planets, but that was the life of a Jedi.

He had only gotten one night to stay with his wife for force's sake. Padme was not happy in the morning when he got the call, they had plans for their small holiday. She had even taken a few days off from the senate, he would have to make it up to her later.

Though he might have been in the clear with how passionate he was with her the night before.

But for now, he had to make a quick escape, the planning of the retake was a bit boring all things said, and he knew that with both Obi-wan, Ashoka, Rex and the 501st they wouldn't fail. The tricky part was making sure his men stayed alive.

"Sorry master, I just received an important call, it has some information that might prove useful, one of my contacts."

Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow in his patented way.

"Ohh you have hidden contacts now?"

Ashoka was looking on from the side, her face inquisitive while at the same time she was trying to look like she didn't care.

Anakin almost rolled his eyes as she stayed looking at the holo-table in the middle of the room, even as her ears twitched into their conversation.

Quickly coming up with a reply he started to make his way out.

"Not hidden contacts, just contacts that wanted to stay anonymous. I'll just quickly take this, inform me of the plan when I get back."

Flashing an almost roguish grin Anakin made a quick escape, roaming down into the corridors and back to his private quarters, he didn't want anyone knowing what he was looking into.

After pulling up his personal data console Anakin navigated back to the [Consol] function and opened the group chat. These would be the first messages sent since the other day, Anakin quickly read through the logs before putting in his own question.

************************

Rias pouted in her room as she sulked in her bed.

She was angry.

No.

She was pissed.

No.

She was going to make someone pay.

After finding that dreadful app on her phone the past day, seeing what was written about her and being rightfully vengeful and taking it to her brother, the last thing she had expected was for him to look at her in worry.

She had explained everything from the start, she had shown her phone. She had even, when asked, read out the messages that had been sent in the chat.

But the longer she went on the more she realized there was a problem.

He didn't believe her!

Sure, he had assured her that he did, but he hadn't taken any of her words to heart. She could tell from his responses and how worried he looked that he truly couldn't see the app and it wasn't some sort of joke or prank. Though it was unlikely for her brother to do such a thing, it was possible.

That then brought into question what type of magic was being used on the phone.... or even herself! The more she talked about it the worse the situation got.

In the end Sir'zechs had even called Ajuka to come out from his research projects to look at her phone and herself. She wasn't happy about being checked for any foreign magic but let them do what they wanted.

In the end nothing was found, and her parents had been called to take her home. Though no one had said it, Rias could tell they thought the stress of her betrothal was starting to get to her.

It wasn't!

She was doing just fine!

She just had to find a way to kill that prick Riser, or better yet, they could come back to their senses and cancel the whole thing. Her brother was LUCIFER for devil's sake! He had to have the power to at least do this.

Shaking her head to make sure that she wouldn't get even more worked up Rias looked down at her phone once more. Last night in her anger she had started ranting about the app and showing it to a few of the servants, but still no one saw anything.

It wasn't her brightest moment, but she was having a bad day ok.

In the end she was left sulking in her bedroom, with most of her family worried about her.

"Stupid Consol app"

It was just as her voice fell that, almost as if mocking her, a sound came from her device.

*Beep beep*

Looking down at her phone, maybe expecting a message from Sona, one of her only pure devil friends, the smile that had just appeared on her face disappeared as she looked at the notification.

[Consol app]

(Message from Dark Knight)

In her anger Rias picked up her phone and threw it at the wall. She was hoping that the screen would smash, and the rest of the phone would go with it as well as this point, but with the enhancements placed on it the phone only bounced harmlessly off the wall and fell to the ground.

This just brought another pout to Rias's face. She contemplated using her destruction magic to obliterate the phone but held herself back.

She stared at the phone like a traitor for a few minutes before once more it let out a beeping noise.

Ignoring it for a little longer, finally She moved over and picked up the phone.

[Consol App]

(Message from Darth Vader)

Going to the app, Rias logged into the chat to see what was happening.

[Dark Knight]

(@Phoenix. What was the session like?)

[Darth Vader]

(Yes, what was the session like? Are you alright? It wasn't some trick, was it?)

That was all Rias had to see. Quickly typing out her message of victory, she sent it and closed the app before running off to inform her brother. Maybe it would be different now, and he would take it more seriously if he believed the other party was trying to lie to her.

Sadly, for Rias once again this would not work out in her favor and instead, she would be sent to be checked by a few other doctors.

After that Rias would never mention the [Consol] app again to the relief of all her close family.

***************

Jean walked to the back of the mansion trying to avoid everyone else. After the incident at dinner, it wasn't a surprise that everyone broke off quickly.

With nearly all the adults going off to look at what happened to Scott, that gave Jean some free time to herself.... well, herself and Pheonix.

Pheonix hadn't said anything since the stunt with Scott, other than a bark of laughter that she was still recovering from.

Jean wondered for a moment how 'that' was something she had learnt from a previous host, but pushed that to the side as she felt another vibration from her pocket.

She had moved to the back of the mansion as she had felt her phone vibrate a number of times. She wasn't a person that texted other people from school a lot. Actually, the only person she really texted was Duncan. But after what happened the other day, it was unlikely to be him.

Jean had an idea of where the messages were coming from, that was why she went to a secluded area. Sitting down with a nice view of the almost immaculate back lawn, the cool night breeze felt good in the warm heat, as the moon shone done on her.

Relaxing, Jean swiped out her phone and saw the notifications from [Consol], quickly logging into the group chat, her eyes filtered over the previous convo and caught up to the latest messages.

[Ruin Princess]

(It was a trick! I knew it was a trick! I'll tell my brother about this, and he'll find you wherever you are hiding!)

[Darth vader]

(Wait! I didn't say it was a trick, it was a question!)

(You're not there are you.)

(It's like dealing with Snips all over again when we first started. Quickly @ Pheonix answer before @ Ruin Princess does something stupid. I can tell she already has though.)

Jean gave a small laugh as she read the messages, but she frowned as well. After what the counselor had done for her in her therapy session, she was a little protective of the man that had helped her. Seeing that the others were a bit skeptical, she knew she had to speak up for him.

They would believe her, because they were like her, people that needed help. They just didn't know it yet.

[Pheonix]

(No, the session was good.)

(He really helped me!)

(It's hard to explain but when you go to your session you fall asleep and then you're in the counseling room.)

(It was very inviting)

(I won't go into what we talked about, but he highlighted a few problems that I have, or will have)

[Dark Knight]

(He told you your future?)

Shooting off several messages to the group in quick succession Jean settled into the calm of the night, she had a lot she would have to explain. Sure, they would find out more and probably some stuff she forgot, but she could give them a small rundown of what was in store for them.

She also didn't want to be the only one that was surprised when they entered the therapy room and saw how magical and weird it was.

*****************

Bruce slowly made his way down to the cave as the meetings for the morning had finished, there were a few more in the afternoon. He was only going down there to update the brand-new files on each member of the multiverse group. A small amount of information could be gleaned from their behavior in their newest messages, ones he was currently looking over.

Aa he expected the small amount of information he was able to glean about this 'Therapy room' was showing a level of power that was on brand with such creatures as Mr Mitzelplik. This was both good and bad. Unlike aforementioned 5th dimensional being, Bruce could easily tell that the motivations of the counselor were much more sympathetic... or maybe diplomatic?

It was hard to tell, the information that was spouted so far all pertained to helping each member of the group, and the notable changes in the user [Pheonix], show that they were more emotionally stable.

Bruce's mind drifted for another second as he contemplated upping the security again for his secure folders, files and anything else he could think of. The warnings from the counselor coming to mind once again.

Once he updated the files, he could get back to being Bruce Wayne. This included taking Sophia brown and Becky Herten, each models, one July, the other September; to Hiltons in upper Gotham after his afternoon meetings.

To keep up his façade he would likely have to bed both before the night was done, though he could speed up proceedings if he cut the dinner short and brought them back to the manner right away.

A bit crass but it would free up time for a longer patrol and fit with the Bruce Wayne persona. He could possibly get out of the nitty gritty if he could rope Dick into interrupting them at the right time and playing up the fact he is 13 and his adopted child.

That usually cools the jets on any women he brings back. But Bruce would have the crunch the numbers on how long it would take for them to leave after meeting Dick without anything happening and him finishing business as usual.

Whichever was more time effective would be chosen.

Until then there were profiles to update.

***********************

(Real quick note)

I don't think I ever put a limitation on the characters talking about the CONSOL app in their own worlds. What I put a cap on was their future knowledge, or any knowledge gained in the therapy room being talked about. That is why Rias can talk about what is written in the chat. Though I'm not sure if I should change this as it brings up possibly plot holes in the future. It depends. What do you guys think?

Also, this week my mind just couldn't come up with more of a group conversation Between the group. Sorry if you were expecting more from the title. Maybe next time I get around to this it'll be better. Hope you enjoyed anyways.

Zevren out!
