My System & My Academy of Superpowers

Chapter 104 - Jealousy Can End The World.



With a sad look on his face, Ryan was coming down through another elevator which he had to wait for to come. His hands, on the bag, were trembling with fear. 

'It can't be true. My System must have made a mistake. There must have been some mistake. Why did she come here? Why is she in California? Why now?'

The elevator's door opened. He saw Gwen's head from behind. He unconsciously started walking towards them. He was still shocked by the fact that his ex-girlfriend was there. 

'Come on. Am I still traumatized? No. after telling them everything I felt so good, why do I feel afraid to face her?'

The holiday before the Visitor's event was the time when Ryan had told his group about everything. 

He reached the girls. They were talking about something which Ryan didn't want to listen to. He was too deep in his shit. 

"Ryan," Gwen muttered when she saw Ryan standing behind Doc with a sad look on his face, "Ryan's here." 

Doc quickly turned around, "We- we were not fighting! We were not arguing over you!" she started. She thought Ryan must have heard everything they were arguing about.

Doc's eyes were teary after Gwen told her that she had kissed Ryan before. She took his first kiss. Suddenly Ryan appeared behind them. Doc thought he was sad because he heard their conversation. 

"Ye- yeah, we were just talking about random stuff. We were not fighting over you," although Gwen gave him an obvious hint that they were fighting over him… Ryan didn't seem to notice it. 

He got his senses back, his mind in the right place, and saw two girls standing in front of him with worried expressions on their faces. 

'They. yes, they. They are the ones who make me feel at ease when I see their faces. I should tell them.' 

With that thought, "I saw her," Ryan told with a feeling of melancholy inside his heart. 

They both went silent. It was not related to anything those two were talking about which confused them. Ryan ignored what they were saying, instead, he decided to talk about Erin Heffley. 

"I saw her in an elevator. She was in there. She's here in California! What do I do?"

"She?"

"W- who are you talking about?" 

"Her..." he looked down, "Erin Heffley. My ex."

Their mouths dropped open, nearly touching the floor, "W- w- wh- what?"

"E- Erin?"

"H- He- Heffley?" Ryan was still didn't raise his head.

"Y- you mean her?"

"No. wait. Do you mean your ex? That bitch?" Ryan nodded. 

"Wait, how is that possible?"

"Yeah, how? Why is she here? Did she talk to you?"

"No."

"Are you okay?" Doc reached him. 

"Yeah…."

"Calm down. Everything's gonna be okay. We will avoid her on the way. It's okay if you can't face her. She's out of your heart, throw her out of your mind and life too."

"Yeah. throw her," Gwen repeated not knowing what to say.

"Come on. As long as I have you two, why do I need to worry about others?" Ryan said grabbing Doc's hands.

'I don't like you two-timing right in front of our eyes but fine. That's fine.' Doc thought with a smile on her face. 

"Oh, I told her that we kissed and she was so~ angry!" Gwen sprouted in between. 

"W- what?! Why did you tell her!?" Ryan was blushing, "Doc-"

"It's okay. It's okay, Ryan," Doc was calm, "Don't hide things from me though," she was still not liking the part of being treated as a second girlfriend. She was literally sharing her man.

Or Gwen was sharing her man. Or they are a part of Ryan's harem. Or… well, there are multiple possibilities. It's just that Doc was not liking the way their relationship was. 

The trio started moving out of the big building. Ryan still had that lingering feeling in his chest but tried ignoring it.

"What about our lunch?" Gwen asked.

"Oh, it's lunchtime right now," Doc replied looking at her watch. In the Academy, this was the time when they would let students enter the cafeteria for eating lunch. The time limit to eat your lunch was one and a half hours. 

"We won't be able to reach the Academy in time." if it was from Ryan's house to the Academy then they would have made it but right now. They were far away from his house, from the Academy.

They were in the main city, the Academy is built on the outskirts of the city. To take the city bus, then to walk from his house would take them at least 45 minutes to reach the Academy.

No city busses are allowed to drop students in front of the Academy. The military doesn't allow it. So they drop someone near the Academy, a few meters away. 

"I have a great idea, why don't we eat outside today?" Gwen suggested. 

"Outside? That sounds cool! It's been a long time since I visited a restaurant," Doc said, "What do you think, Ryan?"

"Ah? Uh, yeah, yeah, a diner, sounds good. Let's go to the nearest one,"

"Family diner?" Gwen muttered. Soon, they both realized Ryan was still not out of the shock. They thought about going with him, not confusing him anymore. 

"There it is." Doc pointed after the trio walked a few blocks to enter the market area which was filled with shops, hotels, and restaurants. 

"Ah, we should hurry up before we lose that spot," saying that Gwen ran inside, "I will catch it for us," 

"Come on. Let's go, Ryan, this will cheer you up!" Doc grabbed his hand and pulled him with her. 

It was a strange feeling for Doc to enter the diner with her labcoat on. 

"Give me a second, I will take this thing off." she started pulling her lab coat off from her shoulders in a corner. She didn't bother going to the washroom. 

From behind, two men entered the diner. They were not too old, they were young. Ryan gave them a glance, he ignored them. 

They walked across the hall towards the corner where Doc had finished taking her lab coat off.

They both giggled and bent over on the right side, their shoulders bumped with Doc. Ryan was not looking, he was in his own thoughts.

"Oh sorry." the man apologized with a corny smile. 

"I- it's okay," Doc replied, feeling creeped out. 

Another man from behind threw his hands in Doc's direction, then threw himself in her direction.

His hand touched Doc's stomach and he dumbed with her, "Okay that was on purpose." Doc pushed them away. He suddenly raised both of his hands.

"N- no, ma'am!"

"Don't mess with me, you piece of scum," those words caught Ryan's attention.

"What's wrong, Doc?" he asked running towards them.

"This pervert. These perverts. They tried molesting me, such scums."

"Hey, hey," he moved his hand towards Doc's shoulders.

"Don't touch her," Ryan's red eyes glowed when he glared at the guy who was about to touch Doc, "Don't you dare touch her," he groaned.
