"Are you sure that you are fine because we can go to a hospital right now." Mega reached her out hand out and touched Scarlet's forehead and then she touched her own, measuring the differences in their temperatures with her hand. "You don't have a fever." She mumbled.

"I don't think that's how they check for temperatures." Esong shared the information which he thought they lacked. "You nee..."

"I know what you need." Mega cut him off abruptly. "Scarlet said this is the old and simplest way of checking the temperature of a child. She uses it on Justin all the time."

Esong looked at her and she shrugged, it worked, it was neither accurate nor scientific but it worked. 

"I still need to talk to Carolyn which we are both going to do from the kitchen while I make breakfast because I happen to be starving." she said instead. Without waiting for any responses or questions to be asked, she walked straight to the open doorway and moved to the kitchen. 

Along the way, she met Gertrude and two other maids, they were using hand rags to clean the lower ends of the windows. When her eyes caught theirs, they lowered heads slightly and bowed. 

"Good morning my lady." 

"Good morning, I told you to call me governor." she responded. 

"Yes governor." they answered quickly. 

She continued walking, not wanting to delve into the emotions or lack there of in their eyes. It was better if they did not express any emotions of pity, disgust, or harbor any curiosity about the happenings of the previous day. Scarlet was quite certain that if they did, she would not hesitate to fire them. 

Arriving in the kitchen, she got some noodles and eggs from the pantry and placed them on the counter. 

"What should I do? What are you cooking?" Carolyn came closer to her and asked. 

Scarlet poured some water into a pan and it started to heat up instantly. It was amazing how some adjustments in the factory had increased the efficiency of all the cooking devices. "We can talk as I cook, I want us to have a genuine conversation where you tell me everything you feel and think. Even the littlest and tiniest details, leave nothing out." As she spoke she added noodles to the water, added spices and then she started cracking eggs. "I will start by apologizing for not remembering, then I am going to follow it up by pinching you on the arm for not saying a word." she actually put down the chop sticks which she was using to whisk the eggs and she pinched Carolyn's shoulder. 

"Aww." Carolyn expressed her disbelief verbally and physically by slapping Scarlet's hand away. "I can't believe you have actually pinched me."

The other Su's had respectfully stayed a distance away to allow the two sisters to talk but because the living room in Scarlet's private quarters was designed to grant whoever was in the living room space to see into the kitchen, many eyes were peeping and watching and them. 

"Are they going to fight?" Beord asked. 

"Should we separate them?" Adler asked. 

"Stay out of it." Dorian shouted at both of his sons. 

Scarlet pointed her chop sticks at Carolyn and said, "And I want to pinch you harder for not saying anything until that annoying spokesman of yours decided to do it for you. Hey, sisters are for life, you should have been the one to come to me with this information."

 "He is not my spokesman!" Carolyn blushed red slightly and muttered. 

"Yes your highness," Scarlet lowered her voice and spoke politely but sarcastically as she bowed. 

"Don't call me that." Carolyn laughed slightly and she said, "I am not his wife." 

"I..." Scarlet was starting to respond when something was said that made her shout her mouth. 

"Yet." Carolyn added. 

Now she held Scarlet's attention, yet, whose dictionary meaning meant that the possibility was open to something happening soon.

"Did he propose?" Scarlet asked curiously? 

"No, maybe I am jumping to conclusions, let's change the subject. I never came to you with the issue of you selling my draft because you did not remember it anyway and you were doing so well. You recovered and went back to being the sweet little sister I loved and missed. What did you want me to do? Come to you and say, 'hey you remember that time when you visited me at school and I was so happy but you secretly stole my draft which got me kicked out of school for plagiarism and destroyed my dreams? Ooops!!, you don't but let's discuss it anyway." It was Carolyn's turn to be sarcastic and dramatic with her words and hand gestures. "You did not recall what happened and I had long forgiven you by the way, all I wanted was an acknowledgement. Just anything that showed me you knew what you did." she sighed and sat down in a chair. "I really didn't ask Markay to talk to you and jeopardize your mental well being and healing." 

Scarlet had been chopping up vegetables like cabbages, carrots, onions and green papers while Carolyn talked. Then she added oil to a pan and started frying the eggs, turning them into scrambled eggs. 

"He was both right and wrong to come to me because you would never have brought it up for the rest of our lives and it would have eaten you up. Who knows what might have happened in the future? Perhaps you would have left eventually or moved to another city because seeing my brazen face was too hard for you."

Carolyn shook her head, dismissing Scarlet's words. "I would never leave, I would probably propose a game of doge ball where I would proceed to beat you up until I feel better." 

"Ha-ha!" Scarlet laughed dryly. "For your information, I am the queen of dodgeball, you could never beat me." She was a skillful dodger and her hands were quick and nimble, those were some of the skills of an excellent chi blocker in the zombie apocalypse. A time came when those with superpowers were worse than the zombies because they preyed on the weak. Chi blockers existed to maintain the balance because they had skills that could stop the flow of powers in the superpowered individuals by swiftly blocking various points of their bodies before capturing them. 

She got another pan added a little oil, the onions, green papers, cabbages and long thin carrots. As they fried, she added some soy sauce and salt. 

Those who were peeping into the kitchen started sniffing the air and touching their bellies, realizing that they were incredibly hungry. 

"This is torture." Elroy commented and he sat down. Looking into the kitchen was too painful for him. 

Scarlet added scrambled eggs to the vegetable mixture and strained the noodles. 

"What can I do to fix what I did? Tell me and I will do whatever it takes to fix things between us." she looked at Carolyn with genuineness in her eyes. "I can tell the authorities what happened back then and the school..." 

"No way," Carolyn disagreed vehemently. "I run all the factories on our planet now, I can craft anything I want with no supervision from old fussy teachers who limited our knowledge to only flying cars and mechas. Someday, every house on our planet will have something designed by me, be it kitchen equipment, cars or games. My work here is important and my name will be mentioned along the most inspirational women in our world someday. Previously I would have been just another ordinary low level worker in a crafting factory, never seen and unknown. The mess you created has somehow inevitably turned into a blessing for us, each of us. Beord is head of communications, Adler heads defense, Elroy is still lost, Fey has turned into a great navigator of politics and business. We are living in a castle and I am dating a prince!!!!" She laughed and clapped her hands, her face was expressing so much disbelief as she mentioned the good things they had now. "Would we have all this if not for your mess and your teacher?"
