[5 months later]
It has been almost half a year since I came to live with Momo's family. It took me some time to teach Momo most of the general rules of common sense. She still struggles with it sometimes, but it's much better than before. I even attended a gala with Momo, where I saw how out of touch rich kids and people, in general, are. After all the lessons with Momo about common sense, even she managed to pick up on the weird behavior of most of them.
On another note, I managed to introduce Mei to Momo, and I even got them to become friends. It was honestly easier to do than I imagined. They quickly bonded over their shared interest in different scientific fields, and their other favorite topic became me as well.
Me and Mei after some back and forth agreed that we should wait until we both become at least 16 years old, so until then we won't have full blown sex, just only really close physical contact. Momo and Mei came to an agreement after they both realized that Momo had fallen in love with me. They decided they would share me—and possibly each other—as there was some strange sexual tension between them.
So when they came to me with the idea, I obviously accepted—I mean, who wouldn't? So, the three of us entered a polyamorous relationship, and we set some ground rules. Firstly, Mei added that she doesn't want any man in this relationship other than me, and Momo agreed wholeheartedly. I was genuinely relieved that I didn't have to say that rule. Momo declared that we should always be open with each other, so no lying and no favoritism. I made a rule that all of us have to agree to add somebody, and they should have a pretty great affinity toward everyone, not just one of us.
As a general rule, it was decided that while there will be no favorites, the interests of us—the core members—should be placed higher than other potential newcomers so we couldn't be separated, no matter what. I jokingly added that since all the puppets are safe, being fiercely loyal to me and the female ones really attracted to me, we could add some of them in the future. And once again, for some reason, Momo agreed without hesitation.
I had a weird feeling about this and went to test it out. So, I made Momo and Mei do some tests, where I found out that they are almost as loyal to me as my units—most likely due to my power making them and their souls stronger. They feel an innate trust and love toward me, and since their powers came from the same source—me—toward each other as well.
I didn't know how I really felt about it, but I told them, and they didn't seem to mind. They only commented that this way we are basically inseparable from each other.
Thanks to Nezu's help, I managed to get some new quirks as well. He didn't really need to convince Vlad King and Ectoplasm to give me their blood, as they wanted to give it to me as thanks for helping and even rescuing them with my puppets. The other quirks were acquired in a bit of a strange way. Thanks to Nezu's immense dislike for the HPSC, he managed to get not only Hawks' blood somehow, but also Lady Nagant's—the notorious ex-pro hero who murdered a high-ranking member of the HPSC. He also obtained blood samples from villains in Tartarus: the A-rank villain Gorgon, who has the transformation-type quirk "Snake"; the B-rank villain Droid, who has the mutation quirk "Mechanical Body"; and lastly the A-rank villain Death Ray, who has the emitter quirk "Radiation." How Nezu managed to get these samples, I didn't dare to ask.
I also asked Momo if she could give me her blood so I could sample her quirk as well. She just shook her head and gave me a big, sloppy kiss. It took me a moment to realize that she had given me her DNA in a different manner. I went ahead and created some interesting combinations with this new option. I mostly focused on a theme this time, mainly to honor someone important from my past.
Combinations Bank: (new)
-Fierce Wings + Heal = Guardian Angel: This power allows the user to take the pain of others and take it upon themselves. However, the user also has the ability to heal rapidly and manifest bright green, calming wings from their back, granting them the ability to fly.
-Blood Control + Fierce Wings = Blood Angel: This power allows the user to utilize their giant wings both offensively and defensively, with razor-sharp feathers that can harden when coated in the user's blood. The user is also capable of controlling someone for a limited time if they manage to consume their blood. The drawbacks include potential major blood loss during prolonged combat and bloodlust if they haven't consumed blood for a while. However, this last drawback can be mitigated with strong mental discipline.
-Mechanical Body + Fierce Wings = Mechanical Guardian: This power permanently transforms the user's body into an almost fully mechanical version of themselves. They also gain large motorized, sharp mechanical wings that allow them to leap great distances, dash at high speeds, or slow their fall. However, due to the weight of their body, they cannot fly. The user is incapable of self-healing and requires someone to repair them. The only organic part of their body is their brain, so unless it is damaged or destroyed, they are not in real danger of death from injury.
-Voice + Snake = Snake's Temptation: This power allows the user to take on the characteristics of a half-snake, half-human hybrid with the special ability to give suggestions or even hypnotize someone at a subconscious level. In this form, they are much stronger than an average human and gain certain snake-like traits, such as flexibility, heightened instincts, and the ability to produce venom. The user has a strong weakness to cold temperatures in this form, and they are easier to trick due to the altered characteristics of their brain.
-Creation + Chemistry = Alchemical Genesis: This power allows the user to transform any material into a completely different one permanently. The user is not immune to the potentially hazardous effects of the materials they create. Additionally, they can only transform up to one cubic meter of material in a single activation. The power is very energy-intensive and can quickly tire the user out.
These powers should come in handy in the future, especially Alchemical Genesis. I can finally try to mass-produce some things with the help of it and Terraforge. I originally planned to ask Momo to help with my projects, just like Mei does with her ones, but I didn't want to make her slave away just to make things more efficient.
After everything was ready, I prepared to finally finish the biggest project I had been saving up energy for and working on for two whole months. My nearly perfect creations—two of my puppets, into whom I've poured my energy to make them capable of growing stronger and reaching the physical and mental peak of humanity. They've been slowly handcrafted by me to be the perfect 'sons' who would take on aspects of me and the girls, and who I could trust more than any of my other named puppets.
Their frames weren't the real issue, as that would change the second I named them. No, the real challenge was maxing out everything to the top of mankind's potential. Finally, when the last touches were complete, I called in the girls to help me finish them. I couldn't bring out everything these creations were capable of alone—it would have been a waste—so I needed the girls to contribute as models for my creations' traits and to share a part of their soul.
When the clock struck noon, I started the procedure. We were sitting in a circle in Momo's room at the mansion, with the giant puppets in front of us. More than an hour passed as I focused my concentration on one of the puppets and on Mei. My wings and halo manifested as I said, "Your name will be Sanguinius." Even when I heard something large slowly get up, I didn't open my eyes. Instead, I turned my focus to the remaining body and Momo. Again, my wings and halo glowed brightly as I said, "Your name will be Fulgrim." I felt the ground tremble as the other puppet rose and walked out of the circle.
When I opened my eyes, I was shocked. I may have miscalculated some things. First of all, both of my new "sons" were much taller than I had anticipated. Sanguinius stood at 7 feet tall, and Fulgrim was 8 feet. Since I made them to be genetically around our age, they will likely grow even more in the future. The other thing I hadn't expected was that I ended up with "daughters" instead of "sons." Yes, both of the giants were, in reality, very tall, super-strong, and muscular women. How did I know? Well, besides the obvious difference in their general shape, they both had gigantic assets—so big, in fact, that they were literally larger than my head and part of my upper body.
Well, I had just turned 14 not too long ago, so I'm still only 5'6", but even so, this shouldn't have been possible. While I pondered this, the giant girls approached the ones I had modeled them after. Mei was already fond of Sanguinius, whose body and face were almost a perfect copy of Mei's, except for her blonde hair (like mine) and Mei's golden-yellow eyes. Meanwhile, when Fulgrim approached Momo, something unexpected happened. Momo spread her arms and tried to hug Fulgrim. Despite Fulgrim's seemingly noble demeanor, her facade cracked, and she blushed at the gesture but accepted it nonetheless.
Fulgrim was almost an exact copy of Momo, with only a few differences here and there. Her hair had the exact shade of silver that highlights Momo's, and her eyes were the same deep purple as one of my pupils, along with my wings and halo. I just thought to my self, whatever happens next, life with them surely won't be dull.
