((Bit of a wall of exposition in the spoiler. Didn't know how to condense it, so for those not interested in the details: The angel that saved Matt was George's wife, Ella, who is now a ghost for the next 100 years as a result. The family from him onwards have had magical forms to defend the world, whilst George himself had a harem of 6 back in his day. His powers are portals of observation, teleportation and a soul generator.))
Matt ate one of the best pizza's he'd ever had in his life, relaxing, feeling energised and content. His cheeks took on a more healthy colour and he settled down. In that time, he had noticed the far side wall was covered in photo's or pictures of people. He recognised some as from his family tree, whilst others remained a mystery though a few of them were of a completely different ethnicity. Only one picture held one person in it. She was beautiful, with short brown hair and caring azure eyes. He almost recognised her.
''Who are all these people?'' Matt asked, looking at the wall as a whole.
''The entire family from me onwards.'' George responded. ''Plus my 6 women that made up my harem back in my time.'' Matt practically choked on his drink, George gave a little laugh. ''Once I realised I had powers, being young, I abused them to my hearts content. I had a 'wife' in practically every continent back then.''
''What is your power?''
''What? Oh right, yes! Got ahead of myself! Yes, my powers is teleportation, observation and a powered soul.'' Seeing Matt's go-on expression, George continued: ''My teleportation eventually stuck to my pub, you see. I could put it anywhere in the world. Back then I was clumsy, but I eventually found this little neat place in between time and space. Since I had those who weren't happy with me on my back, I eventually stayed here more often than in reality. I can also create portals of observation to see events in the past, present and future. They're quite taxing.''
Matt was fascinated, but he was desperate to see if his friends were ok. ''Uhm... you wouldn't happen to know if my friend are...''
''One step ahead of you.'' George created a portal of observation over Selina, Angel, Conny and Kyle before flipping to Maria wherever she was.
''They look like they've moved on...'' Then Selina mentioned him, and he noted their expressions.
''They're young, and won't be used to losing someone in death. They cried their hearts out after you died. Considering you've only know each other for about 3 days, it's impressive to have left such an impression. They're fine though, in Japan. That's the place next to be attacked, so we'll head their eventually.''
Happy to know his friends and girlfriends were ok-ish, he turned back to the wall.
''Who is she?'' Matt pointed to the short haired woman. ''I recognise her.''
''As well you should. She is Ella Robson, my wife... actual wife. She was the one that saved you.'' Matt recognised her fully. Those eyes were those on that angel. ''Her magical form is the most rarest I've ever seen. She can transfer her soul to revitalise a dead one, aswell as heal a body. That would normally cost her her life, but my powers is a soul generator aswell, so I transfer that to her, before she becomes a ghost for 100 years. That is how you were saved, though we had to negotiate like hell with some God that our family souls come here first.'' George explained. ''Apparently, that Anima had Hestia pray for your soul to go to a lovely little paradise like place. Atleast you'll have the option to go there or here when your time actually comes.''
Matt had so many questions now, but he stuck with two. ''Just for now, I have a couple more questions. How am I lucky and why do I have powers?''
''Hmm...'' George took a second to think on it. ''Our family, since me, have always had magical forms, and we've used it to defend this earth from other planar invaders or simply trying to make the world a little better. You got yours way earlier than I wished, but I saw these aliens invading and knew I needed to get it in early, sorry that it's been difficult for you. Both your parents are magical aswell, and it is why they are away all the time. Again, sorry, bad family trait that. And lastly, you're very luck because Ella only got out of her ghost form 4 days ago. If this had happened earlier, you wouldn't be here, and my family line would probably have ended.''
Matt yawned, despite his fascination. George laughed.
''Hah, I guess it's been a long one for you hasn't it! Beds are upstairs, you can sleep. We'll talk more later.'' Matt thanked him before heading off. His mind was filled with questions, but he knew they would have to wait.
