Chapter 9

Next Alan looked at the other side of the bathroom in the main room. Concentrating, he saw what he wanted and then the next room started to take shape. Alan thought it would be easy but as he found he had to expend quite a bit of energy. Pushing harder Alan was almost done when he felt his power falter a bit. As the sweat started to fall from his face Alan finally finished the room and had formed the extra room off it. “Ok guys you also have a bathroom, uh,” taking a step Alan almost fell on his face. “Shit I was afraid of this!” Falling on one of the cots all four of them rushed to Alan’s side.

“What’s wrong with him?” Harman asked a moment later.

“I believe he expanded an excess of energy today, he had me all over the place, after he came here. He moved all of us out of harm, fought off the boosted ones, moved us all here. Then he remodeled part of the bunker I think he needs a lot of rest.” Angelika said, she had felt Alan’s power slowly growing weaker but it was still greater than any of theirs.

Varick nodded she was right, Alan had done far more than he’d ever really seen anyone do, though this would most certainly increase his power when he awoke. “I think we all need to get some sleep. I’ve got my feelers out today we’ll see if they get anything tomorrow.” Varick advised all of them.

They all nodded and went to their rooms leaving Alan on the cot, though he’d made a bed for himself in the room for the men, they thought better than to try and move him. They’d seen it to many times a defeated enemy was out but not down the same held true for Alan they didn’t know what might happen if he felt threatened while unconscious.

Walking in Varick saw a small desk, three small beds a lamp between the beds, two rooms off the room it’s self. Looking further he saw three dressers each when he checked had comfortable but efficient clothes for battle. Strange Varick thought the clothes almost felt as if they would block ... Varick’s mouth dropped open THIS was a damn good thing they were always at the mercy of the others through their bodies. Shaking his head Varick could see that Alan had put more than a little thought into the creation of their place.

Looking in the extra rooms Varick saw a full bathroom, and then he looked into the other. Except for one weight set the room was large and bare. Though not as happy as he’d like to have been, Harman started in on the weights smiling like a child on Christmas morning. So this is what had Harman so excited, “I’m sure he will finish it later Harman.” Varick told the grinning Harman.

“I know but just to have this room and the beginning of what he promised is a first for me. Other than you and your sister and my sister no one has fulfilled even half of what they promised to me.” Harman told Varick, the smile growing by the minute as he worked with the weights.

Varick nodded and moved out into the main room checking on Alan. Knocking on the female’s door, they both opened it and summarily dragged him in by both of his arms. What he saw had him shaking his head he knew that both of the females liked feminine things but he hadn’t thought they liked them THIS much! Both beds were pink with the softest pillows he thought he’d ever seen. In the closet he saw very feminine clothes that appeared to have the same protection that theirs did. In their bathroom were a great many things he could only guess the function of and wasn’t about to ask about.

“We don’t know how he knew but this is the first time I actually feel at home in this place,” Truda told Varick, his sister beside him smiling widely as she also nodded at him.

“I am sorry all these years you both have been so uncomfortable, here all I thought was to keep you, hell all of us alive. I apologize to you both, I have forgotten that we aren’t machines especially now.” Varick said to them both. Though what really shocked him was when both of the women walked up to him and kissed him, one on each side at the same time. When both of them drew back Truda started to giggle which in its self shocked her but not nearly as much as Varick’s reaction to the kisses. Varick could feel the heat on his face and worried for a second ‘til he caught sight of his sister smiling wide and Truda giggling.

“What is this?” Varick was asking as he felt the heat spread to his chest.

“I believe it is called blushing,” his sister told him, “I find it adorable on you!”

Varick though did not find it adorable, which of course caused him to blush even more bringing more giggles from Truda. Varick decided it was time to beat a hasty retreat bringing even more giggles from Truda ‘til she couldn’t stand anymore. Angelika was just smiling, good, her brother was finally starting to feel and be more human. It might take a while but one day they would be more normal.

It was about ten hours later when Alan jerked awake and promptly fell off the cot onto the floor with a loud thump. “What the hell where am I?” He said as he looked around the sparse room.

Varick hearing him awaken walked out of the room, “You are in our hidden bunker. You brought us here last night so we could regroup. Your mother seems to think that you pushed yourself too far and drained all your energy.” Varick explained.

Alan shook his head to clear it ok, he remembered most of it, and he also remembered he hadn’t finished his promise. Walking over from the now full kitchen, Varick handed Alan a cup of coffee. “Thanks,” Alan said then took a sip of the acrid concoction making a face Alan nodded; yup it was almost as bad as his. Finishing it up, he thanked Varick then reached out to their bedroom. He could see Harman working with the free weights, smiling Alan concentrated and watched as each piece of equipment appeared in the room. Alan figured Harman was happy when he heard him shouting with joy.
