The hivemind is conquering for me? - Chapter 581

Chapter 581: What Gutters?

Making my way over to Mindy and Lena. I spotted them on a leg press machine. Mindy was doing an exercise while Lena stood to the side chatting away. As I approached I announced myself. “Hey guys, how did your test go?”

Lena, who was in the middle of explaining why burning things was fun, turned around and said. “Oh Apollo! Tell Mindy here why- Woah! Fuck a duck and call it chuck! Nice cum gutters bro! Those look mean.”

My mouth was left hanging by what was just said. I really did not know how to respond about my abs being called… That. “Thank you?” I said uncertain and put my shirt back on. Lena swatted me on the chest after it was back on.

“Hey, what are friends for if not to complement each other? I mean look at mine!” The woman then lifted up the bottom of her corset and showed me a nice refined six pack. “Mmh, very nice. Good definition. Do you work out a lot?”

Lena then laughed like she heard the funniest joke in the world. “Hahaha! Fuck no! This is the most I’ve moved my arse in years! Hahaha! Just good genetics and Psionics, bestie!” I chuckled in understatement before turning to Mindy.

“How did you do on the test Mindy?”

Mindy had just finished her leg press and smiled at the weight she just achieved before turning to Apollo. “Incredible! I didn’t even realise I had gotten stronger beforehand, but I lifted two hundred kilograms like it was trivial! That beat my old record by one hundred and forty!”

My heart genuinely warmed hearing this. “Thats great Mindy! I’m so happy for you! And to think how long you have been awakened? You will be outlifting me in no time!” Mindy snorted in laughter. “Yeah right! I bet you lifted like multiple tonnes or something you freak of nature!”

“Hey!” I sniped back. “We are all freaks of nature, space wizards here! Get with the program Mindy!”

Lena looked between Mindy and Apollo laughing amongst one another and was unsure about what to do. She had been awakened for a long time and not really gotten on with anyone because of it. No one wanted to be friends with the girl that burnt her own, already, burnt skin because it felt nice.

She had no problem with what was happening before her. Her best mate seemed outgoing and chipper, not like her quiet and stoic self… She would just need to learn how to act around other people without coming across as rude. Her social skills were shot in that regard.

I was then slapped on the shoulder as Lena got my attention and she declared. “I lifted eight hundred kilograms! Don’t know how! Look at my little arms! Guess I’m built differently huh!” She had and began flexing and it was rather endearing.

“Wow, eight hundred is good. Well done Lena. Good job!” I said genuinely. Despite my eight tonnes. The numbers being thrown around by everyone else were not low in the slightest.

Lena felt a warmth in her chest. It wasn’t hot like fire, though it did make her feel incredibly giddy like when she played with fire. It felt good receiving praise from her best friend in the whole wide galaxy!

“Hehe. Thanks Apollo! Now come and get your arse on this machine! We got a lot of shit to get through, might as well power through them all quickly so we can take a break faster.”

I saw no reason to refute that. All of these machines appeared to be maxed out at only a tonne as well so I would be having an even longer break due to that. And this one was a leg machine? My legs could 100% lift double, possibly triple what my upper body could after all. The gene spliced muscles were no joke after all.

…

The extra strength tests took a while, they were literally testing every individual body part and that included sub sections like lower back, middle back , upper back, the whole back etcetera.

Once we were done though, people were free to leave as all the tests had been concluded. “See you later Apollo. I’m going to go and sleep until five minutes before classes start tomorrow!”

I gave Mindy a friendly hug and rubbed her back. “See you later, drink some electrolytes so you don’t feel as sore tomorrow.” Mindy chuckled hearing that. “What are you, my dad? I’m the older one here. Or should I start calling you daddy, Apollo?”

I felt a twitching below and something was rising… I pulled away from the hug and declared seriously. “Do not call me that. Please…” Mindy was taken slightly aback. Apollo didn’t really get serious, so it threw her off. “O-ok I won’t I’m sorry I-”

Mindy’s eyes, the greatly enhanced Psionic marvel they were, had increased perception beyond what any other human has. So, when she saw something twitch against the black of Apollo’s pants from the inside with her peripherals… An evil smile suddenly sprouted on her face.

‘I’ve got a bad feeling…’ I thought seeing that smile. “Sorry Apollo, I guess I won’t be calling you Daddy~ Again huh? Which is a real shame. With that body and your looks, anyone would be lucky if they could call you Daddy~ Don’t you think so Lena?” Mindy said with a wink.

Lena looked confused before shrugging her shoulders, oblivious to what the wink meant. “No idea? My daddy died in a house fire when I was an infant.”

…

…

…

Mindy couldn’t really keep up her teasing after the neutral way Lena just said that. “Ok… I’m gonna go before my legs shut down. See you tomorrow Apollo.” She said and walked away. “Bye Mindy.” I said before turning to Lena. “So, should we go and-”

“Apollo be careful!” Lena suddenly exclaimed in shock and dove towards my crotch. She then extended her arms around my waist and used her jacket as a makeshift privacy screen. “Apollo, you are packing a chub! You need to get it down before someone sees it! Think gross thoughts like sweaty old grandma’s! Picture all those wrinkles, with folds and the sweat getting pooled up in all the wrinkles. Imagine licking it. That salty flavour on your tongue and how- Oh good, it worked!”

She said before standing up casually, patting her knees off, clearly not knowing how what she just did looked from a third party’s perspective. I had to admit though, it did work. “Sorry about that. The D word is a trigger word for me. Gets me excited for some reason.”

Lena shrugged her shoulders and then tapped the side of her side. “No worries. Got that slotted in the memory banks now. I will refrain from using it going forward, but as far as kinks go? Not that bad. Me? I like to be choked and have my hair pulled hard from behind… I think. I don’t actually know, I’m a virgin, but it sounds very pleasant in my opinion. Anyway, should we go see why Miss Valerica wanted us to stay behind?”

Lena then looked up at me with a simple smile and I found it very charming. The woman was leaving a seriously good impression on me. She reminded me a little bit of Jinx. She was very free spirited, just saying what was on the top of her mind. I liked that in an individual. Made it much easier to understand the person compared to someone that kept everything in.

“Yeah, let’s go. It should be fun either way.” I said and the two of us began walking. As we were however, Lena went quiet for a moment and looked at me curiously up and down. “Everything ok?” I asked, prompting her to nod her head with a confused look on her face.

“Yeah, I was just distracted before by your cum gutters that I didn’t realise. Where are your burns? you didn’t have any on your upper body. Are they on your legs? Haha! Are they on your dick? That would be funny as fuck!”

“My burns?” I asked confused, though I had a vague feeling I knew what she meant. “Yeah, your burns.” Lena then took off her jacket top and all up both of her arms were burn scars all the way up both right the way to the shoulders.

She then continued, holding the jacket in her arms. “All the other Pyro’s I know have scars like this. Mostly from their first awakening of the power before they built up some fire resistance. That or the burns they got from surviving fires then awakening, but similar stuff. I just wanted to see yours since your flame is beautiful, your scars must be equally so.”

I looked up and down at Lena and followed my gut. Undoing the buttons on my shirt again. I began to explain. “So Lena, you clearly burnt your flesh right? When you awakened?” She nodded her head.

“Well, I had a sort of… confusing awakening.” I said and exposed my abdomen. Lena glanced at it briefly a second and was about to look away again to listen to her bestie when burn scars started covering Apollo’s entire torso. She was mesmerised by what she was seeing. She had never seen something so awe inspiring before.

She then felt a sense of loss as she watched the scars disappear, but what Apollo said next made her hairs stand on end.

“I didn’t burn my body during my awakening. My soul was burned.”

branded or marked would be the better term maybe. burned sounds like it was damaged, but hey ho. It makes more sensewith the fact he is hidind sol. being marked or branded means it was by someone and in his case, it was.

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
