Micheal is beyond terrified by what they had witnessed from the sub. It was like a giant fish of some kind but it left blood in its wake. When he calms down, he'll be thankful that Ken had sense enough to get everyone back to the sub when they realized there was blood in the water around them but for now, he was panicking hard inside his room, on a call with Molly.
"It wasn't supposed to be this dangerous! It was supposed to be a simple exploration that might be as dangerous as a normal shark encounter or something like that! Not a GIANT thing!" he panics, pacing back and forth.
Molly watches him, slightly amused as she carefully eats some ice cream "Micheal...you need to calm down. It's probably nothing that you and your team can't handle."
"No! This is so far beyond my ability to handle! This is Crisp level of handling...hell not even Nate would be able to fight that thing if it decides to attack us! Our sub will be eaten whole!"
"It might be but the spells will still hold" she points out "Look if I had thought even for a second that you couldn't handle that realm, I wouldn't have let you go and we both know Crisp wouldn't have let Nate go if it was beyond his capabilities." She rolls over onto her back, staring at him from upside down. From this angle, Micheal has a nice view down her shirt to the spot just above her breasts, not enough to see too much but enough to tease him.
"Molly...you really think I can handle this?" he asks, blushing at the sight.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
"Of course I do! And so does Crisp or he would have fought to come instead of you or along with you guys" she says "Now stop fretting and get out there! They need you to calm them down and you need to watch Nate in case he has another waking dream" they end the call and she muses to herself "I feel like I've forgotten something important about that realm?"
Meanwhile on the ship, Nate is listening to everyone panicking about the giant thing outside.
"We can't go out there when that thing might come after us!" Ken argues.
"But...it's our whole reason for being here and it didn't try to hurt us!" Mathew argues back.
"I-It almost did get Nate though" Scarlet points out.
"We should turn the sub around, go home and send someone stronger to deal with this" Lady Eva says.
"No!" Micheal says coming in and all eyes turn to him. He looks brave but Nate can tell he's terrified inside. "We can't turn tail and run every time something bad happens...We were all chosen for this expedition for a reason. Our skills and powers can help us survive this strange oceanic realm."
Nate stands up "So...what do you want us to do?"
Micheal nods gratefully at Nate "Alright...here's what we'll do. We can use the sonar system to keep an out for that giant creature. It'll show up as a large blinking light. From now on, whenever any of us are outside the sub, we must have someone here at the main console to keep an eye out for that creature. We swim in pairs of two at the minimum...We can make it through this if we work together!" He sounds confident and Nate smiles approvingly at the brave face his uncle is putting on. Everyone else nods in agreement. "For tonight however...we all should get some sleep. We'll continue this tomorrow" They all head to bed, saying goodnight to their families if they wish to or simply going to sleep.
