Chapter 16

Natasha was bored, the doctor had totted on for the last 4 days, how great he was and that this plan would finally pay that traitor Tahir, back for all the pain he had put the doctor through. Natasha didn’t really care all she wanted was to get Tahir in bed, if his ability sex was that good, Natasha trembled, thinking about how it would be with the real thing. Still not feeling that strong yet, Natasha just hoped that she had given herself enough of the rads coats, shit she hadn’t used it in over twenty years.

With still 3 days to go the doctor had already reassembled the machine, although his first two tests had been complete failures, he had hope.

“Natasha,” he started, “What was the reading on the first test?”

“I had a reading of only negative 10%, hardly worth mentioning,” She replied.

“And the second?” he said, looking at the energy flowing through the machine.

“Ah! It saw an increase to 25%” starting to get excited she turned to look at what the doctor was doing.

“Good it appears that I am finally on the right track, that was where I was all those years ago when the leader had me start on the awakening pulse.” Smugly he looked down on Natasha after all these years he had the upper hand on her damn it felt good!

At this point Natasha really didn’t care what credit he took, she was tired of the asshole anyway.

“I have missions for the leader to complete,” she said as she stood to leave.

“Yes, yes,” he waved her away again pissing her off, but she could feel her power growing a first for her.

AH! Soon doctor, she wouldn’t have any need to be his or anyone’s little lap dog, a mere messenger girl.

Tahir had spoken on Helena’s behalf and she and her daughters had been released to the inside of the building only.

“Tahir?” Helena asked timidly, “I wanted to thank you for all you have done. The girls are my life and that bastard Romotine knew it.” Hanging her head, just as Kim walked up.

“Miss Kim I wanted to apologize to you also, had it not been for me you would never been in danger” Helena had started to turn and walk away when a gentle hand on her arm stopped her.

“Helena you have nothing to apologize for, I have met your wonderful daughters. I can see why you would do anything for them.” Kim paused thinking a moment, “If you don’t mind I would be honored to call you a friend.”

Helena’s mouth hung open, here she had done what she had and they wanted to accept her and be her friend? Looking over at Tahir he was gently shaking his head yes, this causing Helena’s eyes to stare even more. “For all that I have done to both of you, how can you still want me around let alone want to be my friend?”

“Well for me,” Kim started, “It was easy, anyone who raised as respectful and delightful girls like yours, has my vote of confidence.” Helena started to cry as she grabbed Kim and hugged her close.

“I found it a lot easier to believe you when I captured you,” chipped in Tahir, “when you showed no concern for yourself and only screamed at me to help your daughters, I found it a lot easier to believe you.”

Suddenly engulfed by soft, crying female flesh hadn’t been his intention, but hey he could definitely get used to it.

Captain Roberts had been watching the whole time from the door. He had to admit Helena and her daughters were more than a welcome change around here. Even though they had no abilities at the moment, they were fast becoming friends with his daughter, something she hadn’t had in a long time.

Running up to him the youngest of Helena’s daughters look up at him waiting.

Looking down he smiled big, “How can I help you young lady?”

Ever shy she opened he mouth and squeaked! “Sorry sir, I was wondering if my sister and I could go outside with Tina?”

“Well, that depends on two things.” As he watched her face fall he thought she was adorable. “First you have to ask the Captain,” (Leaning low and close he whispered) “that’s me,” her smile made it all worth it. “Second you have to have permission from your mother.”
