Chapter 6

“No, I just want you to be able to defend yourself better. Will you allow me to do this?” Kim nodded as he reached into her mind and waited while she came also.

Going deeper he also felt her follow him. He felt her surprise when he stopped and explained that they were in her ability center. She looked around at all the colors and was amazed, this was inside her? Oh my god it, was beautiful!

Reaching out, he explained that the 5 strands he had ahold of were her defenses. He felt her nod; he told her he was going to strengthen them.

Slowly very slowly he drew in energy around him, each of the strands started to glow as he infused each with energy. Time had crept to a standstill, Tahir was afraid to increase the energy flow. Kim’s strands were much more delicate than Tina’s; he assumed it had to do with their abilities. Finally after what seemed like days the strands began to thicken. It almost felt as if her mind was resisting his efforts.

Slowly he began to increase the energy, the strands shook softly then stopped, he had to stop increasing every few minutes. After an hour they were only 1/4 thicker, Tahir was starting to get tired but continued, another hour and they were almost twice as thick. Tahir withdrew from her, fell to the floor exhausted.

Several people rushed to help him but met a wall and stopped. Kim could feel a difference in herself but was more worried about Tahir. She could actually feel him, could feel how exhausted he was but his defenses were still so strong even in this exhausted state. Reaching out to him, she felt his wall open for her reaching in, she remembered how he had drawn in energy, and she did the same and felt it begin to flow through her into him. Tahir was shocked, just by showing her how to; she had gained an ability that he had been using since the first day. The energy she was supplying plus what he pulled in was quickly regenerating him. Within 5 minutes he felt his old self again.

“Please don’t scare me like that again!” she cried out to him as he held her close to thank her.

“It was strengthening the both of you so soon after each other that did it. I hadn’t done this before so it was new.” he replied liking the feel of her in his arms.

“New to you?” she cried, “I haven’t heard of anyone that can do half of what you can.” Tahir was shocked, as far as he was concerned, he thought everything he did was old hat.

That anyone could do what he did. The Captain walked up a few minutes later to check if he was alright. “What caused this?” he asked.

“I was trying to increase the defense abilities of Tina and Kim. I over taxed my energy, plus it took twice as long with Kim, I think it has to do with her abilities.” Tahir replied.

“You strengthened them?” The Captain said shocked, he had never heard of anyone doing this.

“Let me see,” Tahir called Tina over.

“Ok Captain, I want you to try and enter her mind, not too hard.” The Captain nodded as he reached out gently ... and hit a wall! Very nice! He began to push harder and felt his daughter’s defenses tighten up and she was pushing back at him, not doing too badly either. Damn, she was a lot stronger; he was at almost half strength and was actually having to work some.

The pride on his face began to show as he increased to a point he had never been with his daughter. She still resisted him, not as well, as he increased his power. When he was at 3/4 of his power, a point he had never been to with her ever before, he felt her begin to slip so he withdrew.

Holy shit! He looked at his daughter with new respect hell only 10 years old and she had held him off, till he had used most of his power. “Tahir, thank you so much for this, I take it you are now linked to her?”

Tahir nodded and indicated Kim. The Captain reached again and again hit a wall ah! Extremely nice! He knew that Kim never really had any defense, so he was glad. Increasing he was at the half way point with Kim still resisting.

Tahir had definitely done an extremely good thing here, just past the half way point he felt Kim start to slip and stopped. The captain was shocked, “I am impressed. Kim never had any defensive abilities before so you have helped her greatly.”

Kim looked at the Captain, she had felt how strong he was, nowhere nearly as strong as Tahir but definitely strong. “Thank you again Tahir, at least now I have a chance if we get attacked like Tina was before.”

Tahir nodded and looked at the look of shock and pride now on the Captain’s face. “I need to talk with you Tahir,” the Captain stated, walking away he waited for him to follow.

“What’s going on?” Tahir asked, a look of suspicion crossing his face.

The Captain sighed; he really didn’t want Tahir to start off on the wrong foot. “We were hoping that you might want to do a few missions.”

“Such as?” he asked.

“We heard that the east group of the doctor’s has, put many things on hold since you injured him. It appears that he isn’t the boss but works directly for him.” The Captain explained, “We want you to spy a little here or there, we know that they can’t touch you.” Tahir had been waiting for them to give him something to do.

“Ok, when?” he asked ready to go right now.

“As soon as you can, we want to know what they are doing; we know that they are worried about you, after you hurt 3 f their stronger ones. We are expecting them to try and take you out. All information about you has been removed from the computer and the building. All the doctors, nurses and techs minds were wiped of ever meeting you. Only the 5 here, me, the director, Kim, Tina, and the new girl Helena, know of you.”
