《Into The Portal: Monster Invasion》93- A Bolt From the Blue

“Hey, you are Miles …. Right?” A girl asked as Miles was walking down the street towards the PTC. He was going to meet Cale today. But all of a sudden a cheerful head appeared in front of him.
The girl had short green hair and emerald eyes. Her round face looked cute with her dazzling smile. She was wearing a simple T-shirt and an above-the-knee skirt with sandals. All in all, she looked gorgeous.
“And you are?” Miles asked with one of his eyebrows raised. He didn’t know this girl, but somehow, she knew him.
“Renen Papi. 18 years old. Probably the peak of Grace-Rank. Ability Leaf Blades. Seems like a normal girl without any motive, but still be careful.” Coin filled his companion in. Since they were still in Unity, he could find the person easily.
“The name is Renen.” The girl smiled and explained, “I heard about you from a friend of mine and had been wanting to meet you for a long time. So, when I saw you walking, I immediately wanted to come and introduce myself.”
“She is not lying. She has an appointment with a dentist not far from here.” Coin whispered to Miles’s ears.
“Nice to meet you Renen, I am Miles. Who was the friend you were talking about?” Miles asked.
“Oh, you wouldn’t know her. She is shy, haha.” Renen laughed beautifully as she leaned forward. “She is also in Aomine Stronghold and told me you had used two Strengthening Serums. Is it true?”
It wasn’t a secret anymore so Miles didn’t hide. “Yeah.”
“Wow, you are so brave and strong.” Renen exaggeratedly praised.
“Thanks.” Miles didn’t shy away.
“Um, since we have met, want to grab a drink? I still have half an hour until my appointment.”

“Sure, I know a place,” Miles said and led the way. He wasn’t dense, he could see the girl was interested in him. He wasn’t a beta anime protagonist either, he wouldn’t deny the beauty.
They arrived at a coffee place not long after. It wasn’t too fancy, an average coffee house. It was self-service so they helped themselves. The girl ordered ice green tea with peach slices. Miles ordered Banana Mocha Frappe. They sat at a table and the girl started the conversation. They talked for fifteen minutes before the girl said.
“Since I know so much about you, you should also know my abilities.” She said and formed a leaf blade in her hand. It was long and sharp and looked like a blade formed from green metal but the vitality of a plant could still be felt. “My superpower is Leaf Blade. I can create around 20 of them at one time but I have to throw them myself so I practice Throwing Techniques.
I am close to the peak of Grace-Rank.”
“Thank you for your trust.” Miles nodded in appreciation and said, “I am at the peak of Second Serum and will also use a Mind Serum soon.”
“Wow, you really are special!” The girl looked at Miles with stars in her eyes then they dimmed. “I—
— I actually wanted to meet you for another reason.”
Miles looked at the girl suspiciously until he heard the next line. “I am not gonna lie. I saw your picture from a friend of mine and thought you were cute, and strong (because of the serums). And after talking with you, I feel like I like you.”
“First of all, thank you.” Miles started and smiled, “Thank you for noticing my handsomeness.”

“Narcissistic much?” Renen giggled.
“I like your company too. I would like to meet you again sometime over dinner.”
“I would love that,” Renen said. She bit her lower lip and looked at Miles. “I have to go now, or I will be late for my appointment.”
“How about I walk you there?” Miles asked.
“Sure, I would love that.” With that, Renen paid the bills since she wanted to sit with Miles. Miles was okay with it.
Walking side by side, chatting and laughing from time to time, the couple arrived in front of a luxury building
“This is me,” Renen said.
“Hmm. Thanks for the Frappe, I’ll see you next week.”
“See you.” Renen leaned forward and pecked on Miles's cheek. Miles savored the feeling while helping himself with the beautiful scent she was oozing. After two seconds, Renen broke the contact and ran inside.
“It sure feels nice to be young.” Coin said with a sigh.
“Sure it is, Grandpa.” Miles mocked as he walked back. "Are you sure she is clear?"
"Do you have any suspicions?" Coin asked.
"No, she just feels... off." Miles finished.
"I am sure." Coin replied. "I even did a background check. She is from a rich family, although not as famous as yours, so no ulterior motive. No siblings and she indeed has a person she knows who stays in Aomine Stronghold."
"There is only one thing that I can't put my finger on."
"Oh, do tell," Miles asked, interested.
"She is adopted, but I can't find anything about her past." Coin answered.
"That is normal. Rich families always adopt talented people 'by any means necessary.' Of course, they would have to destroy her past to prevent other families blaming them in case their families died tragically."
"That makes sense." Coin said. "Where are you heading now?"
"Not far. Cale is probably waiting. I was planning on leaving earlier, I hope I don't make them wait."
"Wait, aren't there still 2 hours for that?" Coin asked.
"You know how those districts are. Maps can not be trusted and we can get lost easily."
"Pfft, you really left two and half hours early in case you get lost. Now that is funny."
"Shaddap tin head."
"Bastard."

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
