I walked down the hall passing the rooms that had signs on them. Dix covered her door in pictures and stickers. Shi had his door covered in keep out signs for Dix and a list of people who could come in. I smile knowing both of them will be happy to see everyone back, and they might like Darek too. Dix made a sign for everyone who lived in the red hall, I'm sure the six of us are next. I found the door the said big brother Pyatʹ on it, so what would one do? I knock and wait, there was a slow movement, when the boy looked at me, he was scared, "No wait! I'm not ready for this to come!"
I mean I would be scared out of my mind if someone plowed me into the ground as I did. The boy slammed the door in my face, I sigh I walk over to Sei's room I open the door, and peek in at the girl's room. Sei was connected to an IV as the soft beeping sent shivers down her spine. A hand fell on her shoulder, "Sei was knocked unconscious during your fight but we found old wounds that might have caused the concussions." Dr. Kellie said as I feel the lump grow as I hear the panicked little boy in the neighboring room. His words were rambled off in short hyperventilated sentences.
I run over to Pyatʹ's room, we both push on the door, I really don't want to break it and scare the boy more than I have. We finally move the desk blocking the door, Pyatʹ is in the corner of the room, crying, "Sei is dead…dead…father said they couldn't kill…father was wrong…did they kill Shi and Dix? Will I be killed next?" the boy was spiraling, Dr. Kellie goes over to him, "Pyatʹ, calm down, Dix and Shi are not dead nor is Sei. I think Sei is suffering from long term damage from abuse that wasn't caused by Lilia. Can you tell me what your father did to you?" the boy shook his head, Shi and Dix are the only ones who can help him snap out of it.
I walk out and hear a groan, Shi walked out of his room, "Shi?" the boy rubbed his eyes and looked towards me, "Lilia!" he ran over to me, "Lilia did you know big brother Pyatʹ is here and so is big sister Sei!" he woke up fast, "Shi, I need your help, Pyatʹ is going through something and his brain is panicking, can you go in there and help him?" Shi looks at me, "Is he suffering from withdraws? Dr. Staff mentioned his Hormone levels were higher than mine and Dix's." that could be it, Dr. Kellie and I didn't look him over or Sei when they were brought here. "I believe it's something close to it." Shi nods and walks into the room, "Big brother Pyatʹ!" the boy was shocked when he saw Shi standing before him.
Pyatʹ reached out to grab the boy, "Shi is that really you?" Shi nods as he hugs Pyatʹ, there was a groan from the door, "Is that big brother Pyatʹ?" The two boys smile as Pyatʹ wipes his tears, "Dix you're okay too?" walking over she nods, "Yeah, it's really nice here, Dr. Kellie is helping us get ready to return to normal everyday life." I walk out of the room; Dr. Kellie follows me as the children climb into Pyatʹ's bed and sleep together to calm the fear-filled boy.
In the hall, I shook I cause that boy to be filled with so much fear. Dr. Kellie stopped me, "Lilia, the boy is suffering from withdraws from Hormone V, I looked over his scans he was in an overdose so he could carry Sei, remember his power was flight, not strength. Sei is in a coma because of you either, once her hormone was out of her system she had to succumb to her injuries and stress. You saved the girl from dying out of nowhere." I punch the wall as the dent was like a crater in the ground. "Then why is it I brought more fear alone than I do with my friends?" Dr. Kellie touches my shoulder again, "I've told you before that you six aren't the human, you've been genetically modified to those around you look human, but Lilia when you are put next to normal supers you even outstand to them."
My throat dries out as her words settle. I can't even think, I just need to walk away. Dr. Kellie watches me, "Lilia this doesn't change the fact that you're still a wonderful person, you and the others are the best things to ever happen to me, to your families, to your school, and the community. Don't you ever think any different, and Heath wouldn't be the young man he is now if you didn't sweep in and woo him with that personality of yours?" I roll my eyes, "No offense Heath's a dog sometimes it wasn't my personality he was after I can tell you that much."
Dr. Kellie didn't follow me this time, walking through the colored halls back to blue room 40 was dimly lighted as Heath was reading something on his phone. I sit next to him, "I think I've researched enough!" Heath claimed as he grabbed me, he pulled to sit on his lap lifting the hem of my dress, "And, what have you been researching?" He gives me a smile, "Pleasure points, I thought spicing up our sex life would be nice." I laugh, "We've only done it once!" I giggle out, "I want to keep you on your toes.
He begins to kiss my neck as we fall into position Heath stops and organizes me better as he lifts my hips into the air, as he enters, we fall into a rhythm. As I reached my climax, we both freak out, I feel something leak out of the condom, Heath ripped himself out of me as he leaks on the bed, "You broke another one!" We both looked panicked, as we take the box, "To Dr. Staff?" I ask him as he nods, "To Dr. Staff." We clean up a little and head to Dr. Staff's room when his office light it was on. I knock waiting for him to open up, when the door opens the man smiles, "Hey kids coming for some advice?" Heath hands Dr. Staff the box of condoms, "They are a default batch, we've had two of these, break on us in the past hour." "You two really are like rabbits."
I roll my eyes, "Alright, please check them." Dr. Staff laughs, "You two need to take a joke." Heath groans, "Can you please look at them, you crafted them, right?" Dr. Staff looked at us, "I did make them but the other boxes were made by the Hero League, they liked them so much they bought them from me and started to make them for supers." I looked at the box, "Is this your box or the one made from the Hero League?" Dr. Staff took out his glasses, "Hmm, this one seems to be one from the Hero League, they changed the special rubber I used to make them proofed for you kids."
I tap my fingers on his desk, "Okay, what did you use to make them strong enough for the boys?" Dr. Staff smiles, "I used your hormones well actually; C, Q, and X. You see mixing something with three times your strength made it full proof." I nod when Heath asked, "Okay then, and let me guess you, Dr. Icy, and Dr. Kellie are the only ones who have these said hormones?" the older man nods, "Not much to say, we found and created them, we are the only ones with access to them." I nod they made the condoms with normal super strength rubber. Mean we can rip through even specially made condoms for superheroes.
Dr. Staff sent us on our way as he grabs out a bag, "I'll fix them for you two, but remember I will be expecting a full detailed report about how many times you can endure during intercourse." I turn beet red, "Oh my goodness, I don't feel like counting how many times he can make me climax." I said covering my face, Heath cleared his throat, "If I can do it without worrying about a broken condom then I'll let you know." Dr. Staff nods, "I want it as soon as possible, in detail, and yes please tell me your position." I cover my face more as Heath wraps his arm around my waist. "Let's sleep more, I could after our adventure at 2:20 in the morning." I glare at him, "It's 2:20 in the morning!" Heath looks at his phone, "Well 2:21." I groan as we walk back to room 40, and return to our bed.
When we wake up, I climb over Heath, yep we need to move the bed. I dig around the drawer and find some clothes to wear and I go to the shower, once I'm clean I dress in black skin-tight black jeans, I put on a pink form-fitting sweater dress, I put on a black belt and wear pink converse I normally don't wear them but this is better than heels especially when my feet hurt from yesterday. I tie my hair in a ponytail and put simple light makeup on and head out for breakfast.
My grandparents were sitting at the farthest table with papers and ten cellphones ringing. I roll my eyes and walk over to them, I pick up one phone, "Yes, have you talked to the billing department, about that? No, then talk to them before you complain to us." I grab the next ringing phone. I listen to the screaming sectary, in her twentysomethings throwing a fit about not getting a raise, "Leave then, we have better people than you." She continued to scream, "Yes, I understand your daddy helped you get this job, but if you act like a brat then you can return home to your daddy." I hang up and answer phone number three, the person was lost while my aunt Angel was taking over the company. "Talk to her, she has ears I promise you she does." I hang up as they finish handling the last phone call.
My grandfather hugged me, "Oh, Lilia we're sorry, I never thought about you wanting to pursue something other than the company." I hug him back, "Well I think I'll pursue the company, as long as you agree that I can use my powers." My grandmother looked worried, "But, what if—" I stop her, "I'm alright look." I move my sweater and show her my arm, "No scar it doesn't hurt, and I'm walking on my right foot, you know the one I broke." She sighs, "Alright, and yes you can date Heath, that boy stayed by your side the inter time." I smile and hug both of them. "Wonderful then lefts have breakfast together!"
I say this just in time for Heath to walk through, I run over to him, "Heath we're having breakfast with my grandparents." He looked over worried as I drag him over to the food, "Are you sure about this; Cupcake?" I nod, "Yes, my grandmother just told me, we can officially date." I smile and peck his cheek, he touches my hips, "Okay then does that mean I can come over and stay at the house?" I giggle, "Not until they see a ring on this finger." I said to point to my ring finger, as he kisses my hand. "Okay, I'll bring the ring in a few days," I laugh loudly, "We still have time, just be patient." I grab myself a plate of food as Heath pours himself a cup of coffee, he grabs his own plate as we made our way over to my grandparents.
Our breakfast was nice we spent hours talking and winded up staying until lunch started, Dr. Kellie walks over to us, "Oh, there you two are, "The others have been causing trouble after they walked around the compound let's get the interrogation started." The group walks in and notices us, as Vee rushes over, "Oh, Lilia! We were worried when the kids told us what happened last night." Right, I haven't even told Heath yet, my grandparents noticed the transition in tension, "Well we should return to the house, Lilia please return when you are ready." I nod as everyone waves; Dr. Kellie sends them out.
We all grab some lunch and talk about how we are going to talk to Seth, Dr. Kellie works away reading over papers about the camera we found in the rooms. Darek walks in, "Oh hey kids, are you working on the school as well?" Tucker sticks his pierced tongue at him, "Nope we have to go and interrogate the girls' old friend." Yukii sneers, "Yeah right, a friend would spy on you since you were twelve." Darek sits down, "I see, you girls must be hurt." I give a nod as Dr. Kellie jumps, "No way these cameras are from the Hero League!" I grab the bag that the camera was in, "Those dirty little—" I stop Ryan who began to rant, "We'll ask the one who knows more than we do." Vee stood up and stormed out, "Wait up!" Yukii called as she ran, I take their trays and sent them in the kitchen. "Girls!" I take off as the boys clean up before coming after us.
In the orange hall Vee stood outside room 27, Yukii was steaming, if she had Heath's power the hall would be on fire. "Get him out, now." Vee was boiling, "Calm down we need to get the interrogation room ready." We walk down the orange hall until it we stopped back into the hall that divides back into red, green, orange, blue, and purple. There was one wall that had a keypad on it, "I bet this is the yellow hall." I said as Dr. Kellie walks out of the green hall, "Yes, that is the yellow hall, I never thought I would have to use the prison or the interrogation rooms."
Dr. Kellie opens the wall and the bright yellow floors blind us. "Welcome to the yellow hall." It was the shortest hall with five doors, "The last door isn't an interrogation room, it's filled with stabilizers that are for villain if we have to bring down here." I nod, Seth doesn't seem unwilling so we'll be okay. "Heath, Tucker, Ryan go get Seth. Girls pick a room." Dr. Kellie said as I opened door number one there were two doors, the left door opens up to a control room where we can watch. The door on the right opens to the interrogation room.
Yukii stands at the two doors, wearing her baggy green sweater, ripped skinny jeans, black converse, and her beanie. Vee tapped her foot but entered the control room, her outfit today was very cute like a white form-fitting sweater, with a 'baby boy' blue skirt, black leggings, and flats her hair was down today and she wore a matching colored headband as her skirt. The door to the interrogation room opened as Yukii pushes Seth in, then our door opens and they all file in, this is when I notice what everyone is wearing, Heath was wearing a plaid shirt tucked into his pants the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he was wearing his favorite sneakers and tied his hair into a man bun, super hot. Tucker wore a similar outfit to Yukii; ripped jeans, a black baggy sweater, and his favorite sneakers. Ryan was fashioning, a fitted cream sweater with dark jeans and a pair of worn-out Nike. I sit in the chair closest to the window and watched Seth squirm as he waited.
I continue to watch him pace, Dr. Kellie enters with Darek, "Are we ready?" Darek asked as Yukii was jittering, "I'm going first," Yukii said as she stormed to the door, Tucker threw his fist into his open hand, "And, I'll join you." Dr. Kellie looked worried, "You two don't hurt him, Tucker you hear me!" I turn to the window, "Well, look who it is, Seth. Yukii looks at that the boy you thought was—" Yukii elbowed him in the head, "Shut it," she took the first chair, "Alright Seth, tell me when you were first assigned to watch us."
Seth looked nervous, "I was sitting in class when your file became the topic of our Hero History class. You six appeared on the screen, and our teacher spoke about how the boys were being watched by Dr. Kellie; one of your creators. My teacher spoke about how you girls were still in the care of your parents and guardians, but little was told about you. Which is what brought up how I was introduced to the Hero League program." Yukii crossed her arms as Tucker looked annoyed, "Hurry up already!" He whined out as Yukii glares, "My teacher handed us a slip of paper that spoke of working undercover for the Hero League to watch any villain, or experiment on the list."
Seth looked nervous, "So, I choose you, girls, to get more information on you for the school. They were shocked since no one choose you since everyone interested in you was too old, and moving to Riverside and suddenly becoming a teacher is more suspicious than a child going to school." Right, my grandmother was on the PTA until last year. "So, I was placed in the school and at first found it difficult since I've only been in super schooling, normal schools were filled with normal kids, and I've only been able to be myself not hide it like you three." Yukii was looking annoyed. "Anyways the studies were easy, but I wasn't in any of your classes since you girls excelled in your studies, I had the Hero League pull some strings and I was in your classes on my second day."
Tucker leaned back in his chair, "Okay, so that's how you started going to school with them, but when did you first approach them?" Seth nods, "Right, it was the third week, I was placed in Violet's science group. Violet was the 'nicest' one from the research that was gathered on you three so entering in was easy." Seth looked at the table, "Then to get more entwined with you three, in Gym I did everything in my power to prove myself worthy of you, Yukii." Yukii was going to boil over, "I started to play as aggressive as you did, for you to notice, after a couple of weeks. You approached me and told me I was pretty good and that I could join you for lunch." Yukii bangs her hand on the table. "You are nothing but a lying good for nothing!" Tucker pulls her away, "Go stand by the door," Tucker said giving her a smile.
Rolling her eyes, she walked over to the wall, "Continue," she gripped over to them, "So, I knew I had the won over two noticeable group members. Lilia was going to be a problem no matter how many friends the other two had Lilia ignored them at lunch, I was kind of shocked Lilia's powers weren't ice-related, she really was the Ice Queen." Great, I had that nickname longer than I thought. Seth looked to the mirror as if to speak to me, "I knew I would have to stand out like no other, so I did my research and found all her likes and interest, then I went to the library one day and grabbed Lilia's favorite book off the shelf, mind you, this took me months to get, but I struck her heart. The Ice Queen was helpless in my hands, and soon the girls only talked to me at lunch and we even started taking the bus together. We were like this for the rest of middle school." Seth's face fell from the mirror as I knock on the glass.
Yukii and Tucker walk in as Dr. Kellie turns to us, "Who's next?" Vee smiled, "I am." We shiver as Ryan follows her into the next room. Vee sits down and Seth sighs, "Oh, don't sigh in relief yet, Yukii is a dream, I'm a nightmare, and Lilia will be your torturer." Seth flinched, as Ryan placed his hand on Vee's hands. "Okay Seth, I want to hear what you told the Hero League after you return home for the summer." Vee asked him as he nods, "Yeah, so when I returned home, the League celebrated with the amount of information I gave them. They actually asked me to return, I was nervous but my father told me that this was: my-for-sure entrance into the League. I wouldn't need to pass their entrance exam."
Vee kept her sweet smile as Seth looked nervously at Ryan who ignored his pleading eyes. Seth sighs, "I took the offer and continued to go back." Ryan looked at Seth, "Where did you stay? When we did some of our own research on you, your addresses lead up to an abounded house." Seth nods, "Before I was just getting transported back to my house in Kansas City, but when I agreed to do it again, they placed me in that old house with my father, who was always gone on business, so the house only looked clean on the outside when he was home." Vee was beginning to turn red, "Do you continue to sign contracts with them to spy on us?" Seth swallowed hard, "Yes, every summer, I sign a new contract and get closer every year to signing a Hero League super contract, the contract you sign when you start working for them as a full-time hero."
Seth began to look nervous as Vee's smile widen, "I'm done here." She stood up and Ryan followed her out. Heath stands up, "Well is it our turn?" I look at him, "No it's time to let him squirm." I said standing and walking out. "Dr. Kellie can ask him some meaningless questions the rest we know except for the cameras." I go to the green hall and grab waters for everyone, "Cupcake, are you stalling?" Yes, "No, I'm not everyone needs a break and Seth is going to have to face two bad cops when we walk in." I said handing him a couple of bottles.
He watched my backside move as I pull more bottles out. "Okay, I got enough for everyone but one person." Heath took some as we returned, inside the room Dr. Kellie and Darek were talking to Seth about his childhood, I had Yukii a bottle then Tucker, "Boss lady did you know that Seth lost his mom." I nod as Tucker continues to watch them poke at Seth, "We just want to know one more question before the last group comes in. Can you please explain to me in detail what each relationship was with the girls, and what they would be like now if the boys never came?"
Seth was quiet, Darek and Dr. Kellie were watching Seth as he wiggled in his chair, "My mission was to get close to report back, but as you know the only way, I could get close enough to Lilia was to make her fall in love with me. This year's contracted wanted me to bring the girls to the summer hero meeting where the girls would have been contained and they would be set up to train and become the Hero League's property, which is why this year I made moves on Lilia. I knew if I could convince Lilia the others would follow, her grandparents also liked me enough that wouldn't suspect a thing if I suddenly returned for our trip battered and bruised saying that the girls were captured by men speaking in German."
Seth began to cry, "I wasn't okay with this, but once Stone-head saw their profiles he wrote up a different contract on the spot! He told me if I brought them in, I would be guaranteed a draft letter from the Hero League, no strings attached." Heath was fuming next to me, "In all honesty, all three girls are beautiful Stone-head was ready setting up powerful retired heroes to marry them off too. Even if I was able to get a relationship with any of them, I would be shot down even though I worked for them for over five years."
Seth looked nervously at us like he could see where each of us sat. "Please I beg you don't send her in, I know I've hurt her the most." Seth began to fade, this must be his weakness, emotions? Dr. Kellie stood up, "Seth calm down, you fading isn't going to change the fact the Lilia and Heath are coming in next." Darek opened the door for Dr. Kellie as the two walked out Seth fades back in. Heath stands up and waits for me, I don't know if I can…will I want to know anymore? I've suffered listening to him already Yukii's done she won't look at him, Vee is glaring and I…I can't think of what I should do.
The world is fading, oh it's fading. The darkness calls my name, darker and darker it becomes, the people are fading the lights are fading. This is too much…I feel it, I'm slipping out of normality, I'm going crazy.
A warm hand grabs on to me, "Cupcake, are you alright?" Oh, that's right, I'm not alone. The warmth of this hands is like a lighthouse while I'm a lost boat on the sea, I'm not the only one who has to face their enemy. I feel it the light returns and so do the people. I'm not alone, and I am loved. Heath looked worried as he held my hands, "Lilia, babe; are you okay? We can do this tomorrow." Heath's hands are so warm have I only just noticed or have I just ignored it? I pull him in and kiss him, the others in the room never mattered, those who speak so harshly don't either.
Tears pour out, "Oh, guys I don't know if I can do this alone." I sob out, "This is too much, Seth has told the truth, but it's too much, to know that someone so nice to me who helped my cold heart to beat, to be told they were all lies." Heath hugs me, "Cupcake, to me you're the most-warm-hearted, funny, caring, courageous, and sexy woman I know. You're not going in alone I'll be with you." My friends hug me and pull me over to them, "Lilia we can pick everything back up tomorrow." I shake my head, "No, I'm facing my demons now."
I quickly fix my face before opening the door, Heath held my hand as we sat in the chairs. Seth turned white but he greeted us, "Lilia…Heath." We nod to him as I pull the camera out of my pocket. "Tell me what you know about this." Heath was confused, but Seth grabs the bag, "This is a specially made Hero League camera they are used in places where we believe that villains hang out or high targeted draft contenders. But I've never gotten ahold of them the only people allowed to use them are high-level heroes." I allow his words to sink in, I turn to the mirror, "Dr. Kellie your sister bugged your own apartment!" I said as I snatch the camera back. "Heath finish up!" I run out.
