A New House (Energy and Lock)

Jemmy chuckled at Jenny's request. "I'll see what I can do. Your next funeral will be a real party."

Bio asked what a Lord of Chaos was, and he actually sounded like he cared. Jemmy studied him in the open doorway. She couldn't blame him for not knowing. Technically, humans weren't supposed to know what they were. It just made everything more complicated. Then again, Jemmy wasn't supposed to be on Earth at all, but she didn't care.

She considered how to best answer the question. She didn't want to look like she was showing off, but she didn't want to leave a wrong impression, either.

Jemmy held her hand out, and a small table appeared out of nowhere in front of her. A white table cloth formed next, followed by a plate topped with hot steak, fancy silverware, a glass of wine, and a lit candle. Jemmy cut a chunk out of the steak and took a bite before sipping the wine. At this point, she was sure she had made her point clear, so she spoke her answer out loud.

"A god."

Jemmy and Carmen left the house, climbed in the taxi, and rode away to the hotel that awaited them. Jemmy left the table, cloth, plate, steak, silverware, glass, and wine behind. It wasn't worthy of a 5-star restaurant, but it was real food, and it wasn't half bad. These items would stay in the physical world for an hour before suddenly blinking out of existence. Any nourishment gained from the meal, however, would remain.

Perhaps that gift would inspire Bio to be more polite the next time they met, either out of thankfulness or out of fear.

Jenny smiled to jemmy "Thanks" she then looked to bio as Jemmy replied to him with a straight face and jerked her head up a little once to say "that's whats up" or "yeah I'm best friends with a god" but did it all jokingly but not really obviously joking since it was part of the joke. she didn't see herself as high and mighty at all honestly. She then left her own way silently smoking.

[Exit]

Bio watched with opened eyes as food miraculously appeared in the middle of the kitchen. He then held back bursting into laughter as the little girl flaunted her powers to the best of his ability and waved bye to them as they left.

 All of the thoughts rushing through his head about whether Jemmy was good or bad, how she should have approached her, how hospitable he should be to strangers... they all canceled each other out like matter and antimatter and ketchup and mustard, leaving him with a whole new outlook on all of this. It was pointless. All of it pointless. He had just danced like a puppet for this 'god' who could have provided for that girl the whole time but instead decided to waltz around the city looking for servants.

The best way to take care of distractions like that? Ignore them and let them pass on by. Bio may be a human but humans were much less impressionable and naieve than what they used to be in the stone age, especially with the advent of superheroes and supervillains. He thanked Jemmy alright, but only in the sense of thanking her for the learning experience for running into people like her. A cold glazed over expression went over his face, drowning out Jenny's mocking look as he realized how little he cared about the Jemmy worship. She still seemed like a little girl in every way to him. With a smirk and shaking his head and chuckling a bit he facepalmed and walked away. It was time to finish his homework and go for his nightly rounds.
