Verlin didn't need to think much before agreeing. He was also curious about what the enhanced humans would decide to do in this war. He nodded his head and said, " Alright, I'll follow you to your leader."

Chloe and her mother came back from the kitchen, and Verlin could see that Marie had cried, and Chloe was still a little upset. He didn't want to eavesdrop on their conversation, so he didn't hear what they were talking about.

Chloe walked up to Chleopatra and said, " I'm willing to go, but what exactly is the Hidden Society goals?""

But it seemed that Chloe had no issues with eavesdropping on their conversation, Chleopatra smiled and said, " Actually we are in the middle of a dispute about whats going to happen with the war, Im bringing you along mainly so you don't get involved with the war before you are prepared. It has been increasingly harder to find enhanced humans that have yet to reach adulthood. "

Verlin thought about the enhanced humans that had tried to ambush him, He might not have been the first one to be ambushed. They might have targeted other enhanced humans as well. Verlin frowned a little bit. He couldn't help thinking of the woman who could teleport even when he had her by the neck. If she were to attack again but instead go for Chloe, the best choice would be just to kill her.

Although Verlin hadn't killed any humans as of yet, It couldn't be much different from killing animals. It was just flesh, bones, and blood. Well, in his case, it would just be a blood mist.

Chloe noticed the frown on Verlin's face and asked, "Is everything okay?"

Verlin nodded his head and said, " Yeah, I was just thinking of something. You should probably go pack your clothes and other necessities. "

Chleopatra interjected and said , " That won't be necessary. We already have all the basic necessities and more at the HQ. "

Chloe seemed like she wanted to talk to her mother a bit longer, Chleopatra and Verlin noticed this, so they both walked outside and waited for Chloe to finish talking with her mom.

After a couple of minutes, Chloe came out of the house with no noticeable emotion on her face. Chleopatra looked at her and said, " You know, it's not like this is goodbye forever. You can come back anytime you want. "

Chloe smiled weakly and said, "I know, but it's still hard to leave my mom behind. She's all alone now."

Chleopatra put a comforting hand on Chloe's shoulder and said, "She'll be okay. We'll make sure she's safe. And it's better for you if you make more contact with other enhanced humans. The lifespan difference between humans and enhanced humans is far too large."

Verlin nodded in agreement, knowing that Chloe needed to be around other enhanced humans to understand her own abilities and the world she lived in. But he couldn't help thinking about himself, From the point in time when he had landed on the planet up till now, none of his cells have shown even the slightest signs of decay. If he was truly immortal like he had predicted, then would anything he does or accomplishes even have meaning. Chloe, Rachel, and everyone else would eventually die, and he would be left alone. Although he didn't know what universe he was in, he didn't think he would find another kryptonian. Then again, the universe is a big place. Even if there weren't any other kryptonians, he was sure there were still plenty of things that could exist alongside him.

Verlin shook his head and decided to keep those thoughts at the back of his head, He turned to Chleopatra and said, " Well, let's start moving."

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Chloe and her aunt both nodded their heads, and Chlepatra led them towards her car that was parked 50 meters away from the house. They got in the car, and Chleopatra started driving towards the headquarters location.

During the car ride, Chloe seemed to have recovered and started blasting her aunt with more questions. After 40 minutes of driving, they were already outside City A. They drove for a bit longer before reaching a building that looked like it was built halfway before the constructors gave up on it. It didn't give any eerie vibes. It was just incomplete and sad.

They all got out of the car and followed Chleopatra's lead into the wanna be building, and reached an elevator that was hidden behind a wall. Chleopatra pressed a button, and the elevator doors opened up, revealing a spacious elevator interior. She inputed a certain passcode into the elevator numbers, As they descended, Chloe couldn't help but ask, "Why is this HQ underground?"

Chleopatra smiled and said, " It isn't. This is just to take us to the teleporter. The actual HQ is located on another continent."

Seeing the shock on Chloe's face, she continued and said , " Don't be too surprised, The Hidden Society has existed for thousands of years, technological advancements are naturally much higher than what is currently available to humans."

After a few moments, the elevator came to a stop, and the doors opened up to reveal a large, high-tech chamber filled with all sorts of strange and advanced equipment. Chloe's eyes widened in amazement as she took in the scene. While Verlin scanned the area, he looked up and used his x-ray vision. They were more than 3 km deep into the earth.

Chleopatra led them through the chamber and towards a large, circular platform at the center of the room. As they stepped onto the platform, Chleopatra spoke a few words into a device on her wrist, and the platform suddenly began to glow with an otherworldly energy.

Verlin felt a sudden rush of energy, and the room around him began to blur. A second later, they were no longer in the underground chamber but in a completely different location altogether. Verlin couldn't help but be amazed at the technology that allowed for such instantaneous transportation.

Chloe, on the other hand, looked a bit disoriented and asked, "What just happened? Are we still on Earth?"

Chleopatra nodded and said, "Yes, we are. But we are now in a different part of the world. This is our headquarters."

Verlin looked at the surroundings and first noticed there were 2 people who seemed to be guarding the teleporter, Chleopatra walked up to a device that was protruding out of the ground that seemed to identify her. She walked up to the 2 guards to explain that the 2 of them were with her. After a couple of seconds of talking, Cleopatra took Verlin and Chloe out of the room, and Chleopatra asked, " Verlin, would you like to meet the leader now, or would you like to walk around first?"

Verlin hesitated for a second before speaking, "I think it's best if I went to meet him now rather than later."

Chleopatra nodded her head, and as they continued to walk towards the leaders office they passed by many other people, Verlin had taken a deep look at them and noticed that every single one of them was an enhanced humans that had reached adulthood.

They soon reached a room, which Verlin presumed the Head of the Hidden Society resided. Chleopatra knocked on the door, and a very stern voice replied, " You may come in Chleopatra."

When they walked in, Verlin saw a man sitting on a chair, He had short black hair and piercing blue eyes. He looked like he was in his early thirties. He stood up from his chair and said to Chleopatra, " Its good to see you were succesful in not only bringing your niece to join the Hidden Society, but also to bring along this very distinguished guest."

He walked up to Verlin and raised his hands for a hand shake and said, " Sir Verlin, Although we have learned a lot of data from the Federation, It's an honor to be able to see you in person."

Chloe seemed shocked. She looked at Verlin and said, "Sir?"

Even Chleopatra was a bit surprised she knew that Verlin was an alien, but she didn't know anything else about him. She had just assumed that he had information that the leader had needed.

Seeing that Chloe and Chleopatra didn't know about Verlin's identity, the leader said,

" Chleopatra, you can go show your niece the ropes of the society, let her meet other enhanced humans, and see if she wants to follow through with the process. "

Chleopatra didn't say anything and nodded her head and proceeded to drag Chloe out of the room, ignoring Chloe's complaints.

The leader continued and said, " By the way, I don't think I introduced myself. My name is Alexander Fury, I have been the leader of the Hidden Society for the past 4 centuries."

Verlin was a bit surprised because Alexander looked like he had just entered his early thirties, Verlin shook his hand and said, " Well, my name is Verlin, but you should already know that."

Alexander laughed a little and said, " Once I got news that an alien had landed on the planet, I had to look into it. "

Verlin nodded in agreement and said, " Fair enough, but one thing I have to ask, the airplane incident, was that you're doing? "

Alexander shook his head and said, "Although we have the technology to be able to remotely hijack a plane, this incident wasn't our doing. In fact, no one apart from us should be able to do this, and I would suspect there was someone in the Hidden Society who had a secret agenda. If not for the technological increase 20 years ago. "

Verlin continued and said, " What are you talking about? "

Alexander continued and said , " About 20 years ago, something happened in all the countries at the same time. There was a huge technological increase. It seemed to come out of nowhere, I expected they had some sort of outside source providing it to them, So when I found out an alien was on the planet, it all seemed to come together. "

"So, what you are implying is that you thought I was the one that provided the technology for them?"

Alexander nodded his head an said, " Indeed that is what I thought, but seeing some of your data, If your species had the same capabilities as you, they wouldn't need to use technology all that much."
