Hours later…
The moment Noah met up with his team, he casually dropped the bombshell.
"So yeah, I met Caster and so I helped him".
A beat of silence, then…
"WHAT?!!!"
"You did what?!"
Benjamin nearly fell off his chair. Genevieve gasped. Caleb pinched the bridge of his nose. And Aria? Aria exploded.
"You did what?!" She shrieked, storming up to him like she was ready to strangle him.
"Noah, do you have any idea what you just did?!"
"That guy is our ENEMY!"
"He's Cyber Squad's new captain! The brat who stole your position and took your Avatar, all your efforts for 10 f*cking years!"
"You don't train someone like that!"
Caleb, ever the rational one, folded his arms and added. "I hate to agree with her, but she's right. What exactly possessed you to do this?"
Caleb almost never openly supported Aria. For even him to support this time, Noah definitely needed to present a good explanation for his actions.
