Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Katie came into the room, and I had my back turned to Victoria. She gave me a strained look, and I shrugged at her, unsure what had just happened myself.

To be honest, my being able to heal someone was more believable than what Victoria had just done. As far as I knew, the girl hated my guts and made sure that everyone knew that, but I guess there was more to the story than just the cover.

"She should be fine now to get back to my place. Ensure that you keep everyone close to the trees where you walk, and you will be safe. I need to get going and get Melody now, or are there others that need help?" I asked, but Katie shook her head.

"No, you get going. We will make sure that everyone gets to your… tree. Some of the girls have gone to get the guy\'s help, but they aren\'t telling them about the place. I didn\'t know what your plans were," Katie explained, and I nodded.

"I will come back after because I need to deal with the ones tied down in the front area. I will need to talk to everyone tonight about how things are going to be going forward. I just want you to concentrate on getting everyone to safety, okay?" I asked Katie and left the room after she nodded.

I didn\'t look back at Victoria because I didn\'t know how to deal with all of that right now, and it wasn\'t the time. I ran back out into the dorm halls and kept going until I was outside, where the group of men was pinned to the ground.

I walked over to the one that seemed the smartest, and the grass was removed from his mouth as I squatted down.

"Listen, and well. I am going to be gone for a bit, but when I get back, you better have answers for me. The grass will keep you warm until then, but if you choose to stay in this city that I am trying to save, you had better be ready to listen to my rules, and follow them," I explained in a low voice.

"Sure! I was a framer before this all, and I got swept up in everything, but it\'s not what you think! We aren\'t forcing them to do anything!" The man told me, and I shrugged.

"That would be good, but the way you are going about it has me worried. Still, stay here, and be prepared to answer my questions," I said, and the man nodded.

I stood up and walked over to the nearest tree, placing my hand on the trunk. I connected with it immediately, and my senses connected with the trees over at the bookstore.

I could sense that Anya and her father were halfway to my place, making good time. That was good, but now I was concerned about what was to come next.

[Time to test out those wings!]

"There really needs to be a better way of doing this. How am I going to bring Melody and her grandparents back? I can\'t huck them across the city!" I grumbled in a low voice.

[Worry about that when you get there!]

I groaned as the tree reached over and wrapped around my waist.

To be perfectly honest, I didn\'t really like heights, and considering how far I needed to go, I was not ready for this.

"What are you doing?!" The man asked me, and I sighed.

"You really don\'t want to know," I said, and before the man could ask why the tree hurtled me into the air like a rocket-propelled missile.

My eyes burned and were blurred as I felt my skin try to rip off my body, but then I started to slow. My eyes snapped back as I hit the peak of my arc, and I got a stunning view of the city, but now I could see just how bad it really was.

"This is all just from one person?!" I asked aloud as my bullet of a body started to tip down, the air rushing past me.

[This is from a person that had no idea how to use their powers. This is from a person that would be considered the weakest of all of them. This is only going to get worse, so you had better get training. Don\'t try to save the whole world too fast, either. There are lots of exciting things here I would like to learn about!]

I was picking up speed now as I could see my target just outside the city coming into view. There was a lot of snow on the ground, but I knew it wouldn\'t matter; the ground was coming too close, too fast.

I closed my eyes and turtle as I impacted the ground, feeling bones break all over my body, and then I bounced and rolled through the snow. I finally came to a stop, but I was covered in snow.

I didn\'t care.

[Total damage 54%. Repairing.]

I lay covered in snow on the ground as my body fixed itself, and I quickly started to feel better. The snow around me and on me quickly melted away, and grass grew under and around me to lift me from the dirt.

"Hello?! What in tarnation did you do to my front yard!" I heard an old voice demand from the direction of Melody\'s grandparent\'s house.

"Hey, Henry! It\'s just me, Dan! Sorry for the mess I made!" I called as I slowly tried to get up, but my body just wasn\'t ready yet.

"Dan?! How did you… nevermind! Are you okay? If it was you that made that mark, I wouldn\'t think so, but I can\'t see you over there! Hell of a storm we got last night! Now the darn power is out, but we got a nice wood stove inside! The truck won\'t," Henry started to ramble on, but he cut off, and Martha, his wife, spoke up.

"Stop pestering the poor boy! Come inside when you are ready. I will put some tea on," called Mrs. Pactor, and I grinned.

Not even the end of the world could change some people.
