"Just a few murder cases up here… can't have the city going to shit and ending up like the lower half," Auntie Electra smirked.

Athena just gently shook her head, not falling for the woman's provocation, before walking over to me, who was sitting on Auntie Electra's comfy couch.

I felt the slight stress within my body dwindle, and as Athena slowly laid my head in her plump lap, her warmth made me nearly drool with comfort.

"Your hair is so silky… is it genetics, or do you do something to keep it so clean?" Athena asked, lightly petting my head while inspecting my hair with twirling fingers.

"Ask… my maids," I yawned before slowly closing my eyes and drifting off into the land of dreams.

…

When I awoke, I found myself still lying in Athena's lap, who was still petting the top of my head, and the smell of perfume that she had sprayed on her wrists permeated through my sinuses.

I moved a bit closer into her hand, and she reacted calmly to this as she sat me in her lap and continued to pet my head.

Her conversation with Auntie Electra was something I was too unfamiliar with since it was about technical things like programming and rewiring and lots of other nerdy stuff.

"Anyway, do you have the stuff I asked for you to order?" Athena asked Auntie Electra, who suddenly swung around in her office chair and began to typing on her computer.

"Sorry about that… got completely caught up on another project," Auntie Electra muttered, moving her neck side to side to crack it ever so slightly and give her some needed relief.

With just a few clicks of her mouse, her desktop had turned black with new folders appearing on it, and as she entered a website I was unaware of, Athena looked down at me.

"Look the other way, sweetie," She muttered, turning my head by grabbing my chin lightly.

"Why?"

"She can see it! Don't have such a stick up your ass!" Auntie Electra shouted, and Athena let out a little sigh before letting go of my chin.

The website on her screen was simple yet had lots of illegal things that most likely were not made for human consumption.

"Do you know what this is, Ada?" Auntie Ethel asked, walking down from the top part of the loft apartment and then walking right beside Auntie Electra.

"Umm? No? I've never seen so many… exotic plants?"

The entire room froze, and I thought I had done something wrong, but it seemed they were just building up a hysterical laugh that echoed through the entire apartment.

Even Auntie Ethel was laughing as she supported herself with the desk to prevent herself from collapsing to the ground.

"W-What? Stop laughing at me," I stammered, but they continued to laugh and laugh for just a few more seconds before calming down.

"Girl, you are so innocent," Auntie Electra let out one last chuckle before opening up one of the items and then ordering them.

The metal plate sitting right next to her five monitors glowed just a bit before creating a sealed mason jar with exotic purple leaves inside.

She tossed it to Athena, who just barely caught it before it could hit my face, and judging from Auntie Electra's little smirk, I could tell she did that on purpose.

She sat the jar to the side before Auntie Ethel suddenly pointed something out.

"Hey, isn't this the same cover name as one of the criminals you were tracking?" Auntie Ethel asked, and all three of us looked closer at the name.

Yep, no clue as to who they're talking about.

"Hmm… you may be right… lemme just track it back," Auntie Electra did her thing as she typed away, doing something that allowed her to trail the teleportation back to the original sender.

But, she was blocked instantly by something causing her to click her tongue with disappointment.

"Shit… they're good… ummm… welp, I'll figure this out later. They've probably changed their account password a hundred times by now, so there is no point in rushing it… they have quite a bit of popularity as well, so I doubt they'd delete their account," Auntie Electra shrugged before getting up and hopping onto the couch with me and Athena.

"Hm? Want me to pet your head as well?" Athena asked, beginning to stroke my hair once again.

"I'm just here to watch a show…." The woman's voice trailed off before she switched on the massive television not far across the room with a remote and put on a nice show.

Auntie Ethel also decided to sit down on the couch and snuggled right up next to Athena, who gave her a sweet kiss on the forehead.

"Gross…" I muttered under my breath.

"Oh? You don't like such affection?" Athena asked while Auntie Electra tried to find a good show to watch.

"N-No…"

"I see… then what is this picture with your mommy," Athena smirked before pulling out a holographic phone and showing a picture of my mom in Japan giving me a kiss on the cheek while I was as red as a tomato.

"B-but that's because she's family,"

I had never been a fan of such affection as I was never interested in boys or girls during my youth or even when I got older.

I was purely focused on growing stronger, and my one true love was the crown that I so desperately needed to ascend into an all-powerful being.

To be honest, if I said I wasn't salty about that, I would just be lying my ass off, but as of now, there were more important things to accomplish.

"Uh huh… well- oh, how about we watch the documentary made on Tolf. That was pretty funny to watch," Athena lightly chuckled.

"I mean… sure, as long as the little girl wants to watch it," Auntie Electra shrugged.

"I don't really care,"

"Then it is decided!"
