Chapter 23: The mystery girl

Iris Patterson is pensive about what she has observed in Dorothy Weber, she has not yet told her friends that it was thanks to her that the Airspace-wanderer was saved from the tornado that took them into outer space. Blossom was also very confused, more so now that she knows the truth about the alien existence, that Jannaly is an alien and the existence of Armin Blake, should Blossom tell the truth? The answers to those questions seemed like they didn't exist, or that it was not known if they should already be answered, but it was worth searching without stopping. Iris goes to the hospital to see her brother Yadir and tell him about Dorothy, at the same time she called her friends to explain the matter about Dorothy.

_Hello Yadir! - says Iris enthusiastically

_Hello Iris! You don't know how happy I am to see you

Iris approaches Yadir to give him a hug

_How are you? What an accident you suffered! I know you love being in the hospital!

_Well, I think I'm on the right track, very funny! - said Yadir playfully - but first I'm grateful that despite everything that's happening, we're still alive

_Oh yes, very funny! - says Iris playfully, both of them laugh

_Tell me little sister, are you okay too?

_In fact, I came to talk to you about something that intrigues me a lot: look at this photo - Iris took a photo of Dorothy without her noticing and shows it to Yadir.

_Oh, who is she? Because she's very pretty - Yadir liked Dorothy

_You're not here to know and I'm not here to tell you, but I think she liked you too Yadir, because I came to see you when you were still in a coma, and well, she came in with me, she saw you and even though she tried to hide it, I saw in her eyes that she liked you too

_So you came to tell me that you were wondering if this beautiful girl liked me?

_Not exactly, her name is Dorothy Webber, she's an automotive engineer, she created the Fast Sea Car, a car with the ability to submerge in water like a submarine.

_Wow! An engineer who wants to give Jawara competition, so she really likes cars? - said Yadir, making it clear that he feels very attracted to Dorothy

_Yes, but there is something else, that's why I sent for the boys, to talk to them about this matter- at that moment, Jawara, Blossom, Yamal, Joshua and Wally arrive at the hospital, they enter Yadir's room

_Yadir! Friend, I hope you're getting better- says Wally enthusiastically

_Wally! It's good to see you, yes, I'm doing very well, guys, I'm still very happy to see each and every one of you.

_People are still very scared about what's happening, but there is much more chaos and disaster in all parts of the world knowing that Berlin no longer exists, I continue studying this storm and I'm alert to see which storm is next- says Joshua worried.

_Come on guys! We can handle this-said Jawara- many people survived Storm Leslie, I'm going to work very hard to make the Airspace-wanderer have more innovative functions so it can survive.

_Precisely Jawara, I want to tell you something about this-said Iris uncertainly- look at this photo, her name is Dorothy Webber, an automotive engineer, she is the creator of the Fast Sea Car, a car with the ability to submerge in water like a submarine, it has the functions of a car but also of a submarine. I interviewed her before Storm Leslie hit Berlin, but I couldn't finish it.

_Wow! She is another innovative engineer, in fact, there is something I must say about her-said Blossom, with the suspicion that she is also an alien.

_This girl was the one who saved the Airspace-wanderer when the tornado took it into outer space-said Iris.

Jawara opens his eyes wide and looks at Iris in surprise. He already thought it was strange that his wife and the others had been able to get out of the tornado alive. The Airspace-wanderer was about to collapse at that moment.

_What do you mean? -said Jawara- So you say that that car flies?

_My love, I didn't tell you anything -said Blossom- Dorothy asked me not to say anything but I must tell you something: When the earthquake happened in the United Kingdom, a woman named Jannaly Miller and I went to help those people, but Dorothy was in trouble, since she was extracted into outer space, she was heading towards the Sun. I wanted to help her, so we went out into outer space. Many fireballs rained down on us at the moment we wanted to save her. We managed to help her, but something very surprising happened: we saw gigantic ships, like spaceships, and they started shooting at us and chasing us.

_What do you mean? Spaceships? -said Yadir with his mouth open.

_Yes, but everything was strange, I saw Dorothy face to face, and I have the feeling that she helped us, but I saw pain in her face, her eyes were shining a lot and the color of her eyes was a very dense royal blue and well, I... - Blossom looks around thoughtfully if she should or should not say what she already knows - she didn't seem human, or at least, she looked... different.

_I'm super surprised by what you just said, B

Lossom! -said Iris- I was shocked by what Dorothy did, to get them out of the tornado, she had to fly the car in the opposite direction of the tornado, she did it very quickly.

_Don't tell me, now it turns out that she did it like the DC superhero, Flash?-said Wally

_Something like that, but even though I asked her questions about her creation and how she helped Blossom, she didn't answer me, she told me it was a secret and made me promise not to say anything, but the truth is that with everything that is happening it is impossible not to say anything, sometimes keeping quiet could end the lives of many people.

Moment of silence

_Now that we know what Blossom told us, what are we supposed to believe?- said Yamal.

_Should we assume that an alien invasion is coming?- asked Yadir

_I didn't tell them, but then a last ship chased us telling us not to go back to outer space, but now I have serious doubts about Dorothy, could it be that she comes from outer space?.- said Blossom, wanting to reveal what she already knows

_We can't say until we prove it- said Jawara

_Why do you say that, darling?- said Blossom- I clearly saw those ships, they chased us, they wanted to kill us.

_Well, who doesn't tell us that there are other humans who innovated with something much more powerful than the Airspace-wanderer- said Jawara

_Jawara, I know that you maintain your position that there is no extraterrestrial life- said Iris- but you have to believe it.

_Listen to what Iris says, love- said Blossom- it's not like we're dealing with an alien, and I'm not talking about her innovative capacity, intellect, creativity, her bold personality, I'm talking about what I saw in her: eyes that are not even seen in humanity, it's true that there is a great variety of tones, colors, eyes in the human race, but... the shape of those eyes that I saw in Dorothy, they weren't from a human!

_I'll think about it, but now that you mention it, once I went to see the hole of shadows, I heard a melancholic female voice singing, I went to look to see who it was, it seemed to me that it was Dorothy, and as you say Blossom, her eyes were shining and the color of her eyes was a dense navy blue.

_We are in the middle of many mysteries! - exclaimed Joshua- the mystery girl has given us grounds to doubt her. First the eclipse, an eclipse that only Sharon could describe how far the astronomical scientific base has gone, and then all of New Jersey was extracted into outer space! I think... friends... that this could be beyond the end of the world.

_Mystery girl? - Yadir says a little annoyed - hey! We don't even know her, she must have good reasons for not letting herself be seen.

_But Yadir, that woman doesn't let herself be seen - Yamal said - you already said it, we asked her to answer certain questions and she doesn't answer anything.

_She even begged me not to say about these matters - Iris said - like the matter that took me to outer space, and what we witnessed regarding what happened with the Airspace-Wanderer.

_Now mentioning Dorothy - Joshua said - she was the one who made the improvements to the van where I have my studio, and she never wanted to give me her name, but her improvements were so good that when the hail fell, absolutely nothing happened to it.

_Yes, same with my sister's car-said Jawara- and she didn't say her name either, but it's the same girl.

_Oh what the heck!-exclaimed Joshua- look Jawara, we have to talk, but in private, can you guys give us a moment?

_Of course, go ahead-said Iris.

Jawara and Joshua leave the hospital, they go to a cafeteria, sitting waiting for their coffee, Joshua tries to persuade Jawara to believe what Blossom and Iris said.

_Hey Jawara, can I ask you why you don't believe Blossom's word? And not Iris's either?

_Joshua, I need facts to conclude that, I don't deny that things are happening that have never been seen before, and even if I don't admit it, I'm extremely scared like you, but I need an explanation about that.

_You must believe her, she's your wife, she would never lie to you about it, I do believe her. Who doesn't tell you that we witnessed what many have said, that it is an alien invasion? Why would Dorothy ask Iris not to reveal what she witnessed and the same with Blossom? It seems to me that Blossom...was told something, and she saw something similar to what Iris saw, and she acts as if she had also been asked to keep a secret.

_I need to digest it Joshua, right now I am not a hundred percent, to be honest with you. (He mentions it referring to the matter of his mother)

_I'm just telling you not to doubt Blossom's word, if not you should distrust us, we are your friends, how much more right your wife! She looked sure of herself.

_Joshua, you have your mother, and even though I have her, it's like....not having her, she came back! And now....I don't know....I don't know how to deal with that, you can't understand me!

_ Yes, I know- Joshua nodded his head- our stories... are very different and our worlds, the ones we had as children, are also...

...and I understand that the situation you are living must not be easy, I am so sorry! You know?.......when Blossom and I went to the cemetery to visit our father's grave, we saw Andrei, Andrei Winterhall, do you remember him?

_ Yes, I remember

_ He spoke to me with much pain and bitterness, about the death of his sister, who curiously has the same name as my wife and mentions that she looks just like her. Later, I had a talk with his brother Jaidev and he mentioned exactly the same thing.

_ What are you getting at with that? What does that have to do with my sister or why do you say that?

_ What I am getting at, Jawara, is that we all have struggles, struggles that are invisible to others, and they need to be heard, because when suffering overwhelms you and you cannot manage it, your path becomes like a labyrinth, a dead end labyrinth that can lead you to make reckless decisions.

_ Come on, Joshua! Now I'm not in the mood for speeches! To return the favor, you said that we who suffer need to be heard, please!

Jawara and Joshua have a deep conversation about the situation, but even so, Joshua couldn't persuade Jawara. As he left, Jawara was still thinking about his mother, and what was echoing in his head the most was for her to say that she has something that is extremely necessary.

On the other hand, Iris continued persuading Dorothy's boys, the reason is because she suspects that it may be someone from outer space, and listening to Blossom, she reaffirms her theory, and having her spirit as a reporter, she wanted to write the best news in the world.

Wally is going to see his girlfriend Jessie, in fact, he came with a surprise, but he wanted to bring her up to date on what he and Iris talked about.

_Hello my love, how are you?

_Wally! Well, more or less, I'm a little scared with what that hail caused me.

_ Actually, there is something that my girlfriend Jessie wants me to know, now that she is here.

_Well, if I came it is because I have a surprise, I would like to tell you in better conditions, but I think that while we are living this cataclysm, you should know it- at that moment Wally kneels down and takes an engagement ring out of his pocket- Jessie, you are a wonderful woman, your big heart is what motivated me to love you deeply, you are the best, you are my whole universe, Melanie. Will you marry me?

_Yes! - said Melanie screaming with emotion, later they kiss. - Of course Wally, as you said, it is time, can we get married tomorrow?

_Tomorrow? - said Wally surprised.

_Yes, tomorrow they are discharged, besides, I am completely ready.

The next morning, only their friends and family witnessed the wedding vows, unbeknownst to Wally, Jessie, his girlfriend, had already bought her wedding dress several months ago, because she knew that sooner or later this would happen, she had faith that Wally would one day propose to her.

On the other hand, Dorothy can be seen with a very sad face, she was very worried about the situation of the world and the many deaths that the cataclysm has caused, but there was also something that caused her a lot of pain. She went straight to the hole of shadows, but the surprising thing was that she went down and nothing happened to her, it did not disappear or cause her any harm. She was looking for something among all those phosphorescent colored precious stones, when she finds it, she begins to cry inconsolably, takes out her phone and calls her father.

_Father, I found what we were looking for, it is a fact - later she hangs up and begins to sing

🎶You will always live in my heart, you will be my strength even if you are no longer with me. Why did you leave? I loved you very much, I will not forget that brotherly affection, oh oh oh, I will not forget it. When someone leaves, it is one of the strongest pains that a human being can experience.

Chorus

You are my most precious memory, you are the sun that illuminates my agonizing sadness, you cannot hear my voice because you have ceased to exist, but even so I come to tell you that you are one of my greatest loves, oh oh oh, one of my greatest loves. That is why I tell you: I will love you forever even if you are no longer here.

We had happy times, oh oh oh, we had wonderful times, times to share, we laughed and cried together, but now you're gone and you've left a void in my heart, I know you didn't abandon me on purpose, but I still demand that you're not with me anymore, because you're one of the best things that's happened to me in life

Chorus

You are my most recognized memory, you're the sun that lights up my agonizing sadness, you can't hear my voice because you've ceased to exist, but I still come to tell you that you're one of my greatest loves, oh oh oh, one of my greatest loves. That's why I tell you: I'll love you forever even though you're no longer here.

Bridge

I'll remember you, you'll live forever in my heart, I'll shelter you there and I won't worry that you'll also abandon me from there, because our love is eternal and unforgettable, I miss you and I'll miss you forever

Chorus

You are my most recognized memory

you are the sun that lights up my agonizing sadness, you can't hear my voice because you've ceased to exist, but I still come to tell you that you are one of my greatest loves, oh oh oh, one of my greatest loves. That's why I tell you: I will love you forever even if you're no longer here. (repeats) 🎶

Jawara was walking towards the hole of shadows, and she heard that melody again, she ran to see, but Dorothy, realizing that someone heard her, hid. Jawara looks down, but sees nothing, decides to retreat.

Upon making sure that Jawara had left, Dorothy comes out of the hole of shadows, you can see that she puts on a mask so that no one knows who she is, but to her surprise, Jawara sees her, although he didn't see her come out of the hole of shadows.

_Who are you? - he asks her challenging her - are you going to tell me who you are, and why do you have us so intrigued?.

Dorothy freezes, as she thought that Jawara saw her come out of the hole of shadows, but it wasn't until she came out.

On the other hand, Sharon was already more stable and her husband goes to see her.

_ Hello love! Here, they are for you - Joshua hands her a large bouquet of roses

_ They are beautiful, I love them! Thank you!

_ You're welcome, I've been very worried, with the presence of the end of the world and you being sick, I'm afraid something bad could happen to you!

_ I'm going to be fine, look! Do you remember her? - Melanie appears, as she was hired as Sharon's primary nurse.

_ Melanie Winterhall, of course! Let me introduce myself, I'm Joshua Dellinger

_ Nice to meet you, I've read your meteorology articles, they're great! Although it is not my field of study, it must be fantastic to study the weather! Look, I know that times are very difficult now given the uncertainty of what is happening worldwide, but I specialize in diseases that cause seizures. Fortunately, my husband, Dr. Andrei Winterhall, has prescribed his wife a severe treatment that will make these strong after-effects due to the hard blow caused by the hail from Storm Leslie temporary. She may have relapses, but for that we will keep her under observation, but the good news is that she will be fine.

_ How long? - asked Joshua.

_ We still don't know, in the area of ​​health this is still out of control and unknown, only if I can assure you that she will be fine, but we estimate that it will be at least 6 months, at most we still don't know. By the way... Doctor Dellinger.

_ Joshua, please, tell me Joshua and let's not use formalities.

_ Okay, Joshua, am, Sharon?

_ Sure! To be honest, I like formalities, but I think I'm more inclined to call each other by your first name- said Sharon.

_ Joshua, I want to thank you for what you did for Andrei, the day he went to the cemetery, I feel a little guilty, I couldn't go with him, (Melanie thinks that she must hide a truth from her husband), thank you very much! We are indebted to you and also to your sister and your mother. In fact, he is here to thank you.

Andrei thanks Joshua for having comforted him despite having behaved aggressively with him and asks for forgiveness for that, while Melanie sees the touching scene of an exchange of encouragement and of new friends they have, she watches Sharon and Andrei attentively, it is more than clear that they are brothers! In fact, the moment Andrei greets Sharon, they feel a special connection that leads them to hug each other, somewhat embarrassed they apologize, but that connection was evident that it was between brother and sister, Melanie feels guilty but at the same time tries to reassure herself, since they gave her a powerful reason why Andrei and Jaidev still can not know the truth, a reason that would be revealed in the future, which was a fact, is that soon Andrei and Jaidev would know that Iris and Yadir are their blood brothers, in the case of their adoptive brothers, Denahi and Fatima, also in due time they would know who their blood brothers are (one of them, the doppelgänger of Iris Hauer's husband, Jayden Hauer), and in the case of Yamal, he would find out that his carnal brothers were not born anywhere in the Multiverse other than on Earth 02, but they are eager to receive the doppelgänger of their brother Yamal (one of them is Hansel Patterson, who is none other than the husband of Antoinette, The Cat of Fire)
