In The DC World With A System - Chapter 58

Under Gordon’s instructions, the police took the injured Denis Grove under custody.

According to Jim Gordon, Thomas is the vindictive type of person, he isn’t willing to back down when someone threatens him or his family. Any teenage boy or man will feel angry if someone acts inappropriately in front of their girl.

Gordon felt if he didn’t intervene, there is a high chance that this man will lose his life. Thomas has killed Roman without hesitation or so he heard. If that rumor is anything to go by then there will be another death in his hand.

Another thing which made him get involved in the skirmish between young people is the error in cameras. The camera of the cafeteria has some defects as only statics are visible.

It is a well-known fact that Thomas Allens is a genius in the field of mechanics and electromagnetism. He might have disrupted the camera to do the deal.

For someone of Thomas status, it is a simple matter to twist the facts, though he will have the advantage as Denis is the one who started the first. All he has to do is exaggerate some things and he will be released easily in the court.

After his team left with Denis, Gordon is getting more and more anxious. People have left the seats around the young couple but there is a high chance someone may try to create conflict.

For a woman as beautiful as Angela, a small fight happening between boys for her affection or attention is very easy.

While Gordon is nervously keeping an eye at them, while making sure they aren’t interrupted or there is any incident, Angela was amused.

” You must have caused some upheaval if the Gotham police are so attentive,” she said amused at her boyfriend. Thomas felt his world crash at her comment.

It seems in her opinion he is someone who only knows how to cause chaos and create problems for people around him.

She is going to enjoy her time here at Thomas’s expense.

” You can never stop causing trouble, can you?” She asked with an amused look.

Thomas has a dejected look on his face. He doesn’t like it when his mother or Angela says things like this.

They always think it is his mistake when in reality he is forced to act.

No matter what he says they will never believe him. As such he can only keep it to himself, ‘ Trouble always seems to find me wherever I go.’

He sighed sadly, ” You are early. Aunt Glynda told me that you will arrive on the next flight instead of this one. How did your plan change so suddenly?” He changed the topic and protect himself from her teasing.

Thomas has a gut feeling that Aunt Glynda said the truth but his dear Angela must be decided to make some amends in her plans at the last moment.

She has a mischievous look but she was unhappy with him , ” I wanted to see how much attention you pay to me. In the end, I am disappointed with you. ” she started to sob and tears start to fall.

Thomas is capable of a lot of things but calming a crying woman isn’t one of them.

Yet he tried to apologise, ” I am very sorry. It is just that I was very busy. I cannot take time to look at the schedule of flights and my father informed about your arrival just now.

As soon as I heard it, I run here to pick you up.” But if she was that easy to calm down, he won’t be so anxious.

As he thought Angela grasped the point about him being too busy to pay attention to her.

She cried out, ” I thought you loved me, but you are too busy to pay attention to me.

Mother was right, men pay attention to their partners only at the start of their relationship but after that, they feel it us no longer important to spend time with them.

They start ignoring them.” Her crying only increased.

Other people in the cafeteria looked at her as well as Thomas frantic efforts to calm her down. The boys who wished to get Angela’s attention would have come forward and be a hero but Thomas previous action against Denis stopped them.

Gordon is another observer and he took joy in the miserable looking Thomas. Because of Thomas, his vacation was interrupted and has problems at home.

She wasn’t done. She used the tissue paper to wipe her tears, and continued, ” Before we took that step, you would always pay attention to me. If I told you I am coming you would have looked through all the reservations for tge past week to confirm when I arrive.

Last time, You hacked the server of the airport to search for my appearance. You made so many preparations. You took me hiking, we went scuba diving. You took special care for me and spent your entire time with me. ”

She continued to narrate the things they have done together for decades, forgetting that they are officially together for six months only.

But, Thomas isn’t that EQ derived to question her and let things be. He has once denied and opposed her vigorously. The aftermath was being taught by his mother in how to behave and talk with girls.

Whenever he remembered that incident chill run down his spine. He has promised himself that day, he will never stand against Angela.

Thomas was only twelve years old, at that time If he did everyone in his family will side with her and he would suffer.

He knows the reason for all this drama was a promise. She wished him to promise her and everything will be over, but he is too busy at this juncture to spend time with her.

He has to complete his layout before the Justice League is officially formed. That layout will be his protection cover when they snoop out his less than ethical businesses.

But, calming down Angela is his priority. Angela and his mother, both of them know he doesn’t like them crying and being sad. Whenever they use them, he crumbles no matter how hard he willed his heart.

After her emotional episode was done, he stated it, ” Fine. I will accompany you on your little adventure trip to the Amazon rain forest after things are settled here. ”

As soon as he promised her, her tears dried up and her charmingly smiling look adorned her face. She no longer has the need for that facade.

Thomas sighed sadly at this but he has promised her already.

After Angela has finished her coffee, the two left the airport.
