[POV Reo]

I patiently waited for Fleur and Jean to make their decision. If they decide to come with me even after this, then I will take them along with me but I wanted them to think about it carefully. Now, they should at least have an idea of what we were planning to deal with… after all, hearing and seeing are completely different things. ​​

While they were thinking I decided to check my mark on Sublime. No, I can't spy on him through the mark but I can definitely locate him. I concentrated inside my mind and it didn't take too long for me to find him… Sublime was currently in some eastern country… I think probably China. The reason I am saying probably is because I don't have a world map inside my mind…

"Yes, we still want to go with you" Fleur said looking at me with determined eyes and Jean also nodded her head from the side with a determined look on her face.

"Fine… let's go. So where to next?" I asked Nemuri who thought only for a few seconds before answering.

"India, they had a base somewhere near Surat" Nemuri said with a thoughtful look on her face. (A/N: Now, this is just a story so if by some coincidence it matches your city then remember this is fiction) Nemuri once again prepared the portkey from a stone by the street. The four of us placed our hand on the stone and with a familiar tug around our navel, all four of us were whisked away and we appeared on the shore of some river. Three of us landed perfectly… only Jean ended up sprawled on the floor…

"Ugh… this was really bad" Jean said while groaning on the ground. Fleur helped the poor girl to get up and casted a scourgify to get the dust off her.

"What's this place?" I asked Nemuri, she made a portkey to here then she must know where it brought us right?

"This is Tapti River when I came to India last time, some festival was going on in here" Nemuri answered the question with a smile on her face, this wasn't her usual smile… this was a genuine smile. She must have enjoyed the festival a lot…

"So, how long do we have to walk before we reach the street?" Fleur asked when she finally digested everything Nemuri explained about her trip. Fleur also liked to travel so she was naturally entranced by Nemuri's tale.

"Oh… don't worry, we don't have to walk that much" Nemuri said dismissively and gestured us to follow her. It took us nearly 5 minutes to reach the street. There was a small market there along with some odd-looking vehicles. Nemuri said that they were auto-rickshaws. We also saw several food stalls there… Nemuri took us to the pani-puri stall.

After eating just one pani-puri I knew that I fell in love with that thing. It became one of my favorite foods. Jean and Fleur were also having similar thoughts. I didn't want to leave but Nemuri decided to drag us away from the stall, she said the pani-puri in West Bengal was much better than here. I made not so subtle demands to take us there… she laughed and happily agreed.

(A/N: I am from West Bengal, so I am biased. You can sue me!! But pani-puri in West Bengal is the best)

Nemuri used the same method and Imperiused an auto-rickshaw driver to get the necessary information. Even after she got the location from him, I wanted to ride auto-rickshaw, it was odd-looking but I felt that I will definitely get some kind of thrill by riding it. Fleur just shrugged and agreed…

Nemuri had to reserve an auto-rickshaw because the place we needed to go was quite far and the driver was quite adamant that he won't get other passengers. Quire an odd system though I didn't complain… after all, I knew very well that I shouldn't badmouth some countries systems or traditions…

And just like I had guessed, the auto ride was a completely different experience. I kind of liked it… it wasn't like normal car rides or bike rides. We finally arrived in front of a creepy-looking old haunted mansion. I immediately remembered some horror movies I have seen throughout my life… and I meant both of my lives.

Nemuri paid the driver a 500 hundred rupees note and send him on his merry way. She noticed that I was staring at her. "What?" Nemuri asked in a defensive manner.

"Where do you keep all that money?" I asked her and an evil grin appeared on her face.

"Oh… why don't you check my nook and cranny with your detection rod?" Nemuri said in a husky voice. Fine!! It was my fault that I fucking asked her… the other girls were looking around so they didn't hear what Nemuri said.

I spread out my senses and immediately found that there were 39 people inside the building. Quite a number and I don't think that any of them were meta-humans. After practicing my senses for so long now I was able to sense the difference between humans and meta-humans. But from what I was sensing… they were neither meta-humans nor mutants…

Something clicked in my mind. I am really a lucky bastard!! I got 39 of them in a single place?? It could be a trap after all, from what I have heard from Emma they found Emma and her merry band as soon as they started to rest. Well, before reaching any conclusion I should check it out…

"Let's go in but everyone be careful. It might be a trap since everyone inside there are U-Men, there is 39 of them so before directly attacking we need to see if it's a trap or not and if it's a trap we would need to stun them and find out how they knew about our arrival" I said and disillusioned Jean and then did the same to myself.

Nemuri and Fleur started to cast a modified muggle repelling charm, unlike the other muggle-repelling charms this was different. This worked on the opposite principle. This charm would stop anyone from leaving not entering… obviously someone could still escape by chance or by mistake but now no one was knowingly getting out of this place…

The four of us sneaked into the building and found that my guess was completely true. This was a trap prepared for us and everyone inside the place was wearing full-body suits. Now, I needed to know how they knew about our arrival… since we had already discussed this, all four of us silently moved inside the building.

"Sawyer! Are you sure that they are going to come here?" all of us heard an angry female voice from the inside.

"Fuck it Drix! You know eye told us about their arrival. She has never been wrong before" a man retorted in a similar manner. All four of us crept closer to the room. Eye?? It must be someone from their group but I need to know what kind of ability she has… ohh, it is much better that she has never failed before…

"Then where the fuck are they? They should have been here by now. Sawyer, I have more important things to do than play around with your bullshit, and does Sublime know about this?" the woman shouted once again. The man grunted in anger and something inside the room was moved… I shot a few spells on the wall and made it transparent from this side…

We saw that the man was sitting by the table while the woman was leaning on the wall. "No, I was unable to contact Sublime after our Nebraska base was destroyed" the man said in a low voice. Even though the woman was wearing a helmet and full-body suit I could feel that she wasn't happy with that answer.

"Damn it, Sawyer! How the fuck do you plan to explain this to Sublime?" the woman screamed in anger.

"It doesn't matter, Leviathan had already destroyed one of our bases. I can't allow a pathetic mutant to reign supreme over me… it has to end now" the man said with a grunt.

The woman was shocked and stopped leaning on the wall. "Are you fucking stupid?!! Didn't you see what he did in Nebraska City or are your eyes just for show?" the woman demanded and slammed her fist on the table. The table collapsed under the force of her punch.

"Everything will be inconsequential. His power won't matter anything in front of Ruler. You know how Ruler's powers work, right? Whatever he wants happens" the man known as Sawyer said in a confident tone.

"Ruler isn't a God Sawyer! His power has limits too… he can't stop anything he knows nothing about and I think Leviathan falls into that category" the woman retorted and the man just laughed. I signaled Nemuri to move in… both Fleur and Nemuri flash stepped inside the room… since we were able to see what was inside the room it wasn't a problem. Both me and Jean decided to wait outside the room.

"Yes, Leviathan can control metals like Magneto and release lighting from his body… nothing more is…" before he could speak anymore Nemuri's curses hit him and he was petrified, bound, and silenced. Fleur did the same with the woman. When both of them were out of commission, I entered the room along with Jean through the door. I stopped the disillusionment charm and appeared right in front of the Sawyer and Drix.

"Hello! How are you? I am pleased to meet you two…" I said looking at them and I didn't need to see their faces or use Legilimency to know that they were scared…
