The hivemind is conquering for me?

‘This was not how It was supposed to go.’ Thought the man with the blue cybernetic eye. Even outnumbered, he and his squads should have easily made their way through these lowly drug peddlers by now. No there was an outlier.

As he peered from his cover, He saw the outliers blue hair flailing wildly as she just used a sledgehammer to cave in someone’s head while smiling ruthlessly at the same time. Blue eye began firing at the woman, but she raised her arms to cover her face as she ran back to cover, though many shots did manage to land.

The woman had some serious subdermal armour to take the rounds she was taking. She was clearly bleeding in some places, but that armour had kept her, to his chagrin, alive. He would look up high grade implants later, for now he had to coordinate a push through. His plan however was fell short as gunfire began hitting his troops in the right flank.

“What!” Blue eye shouted as he repositioned. He should have had a full team taking that room by now, what happened? Did they get all taken out? Casualties began ramping up on the attackers side and they were forced back slowly.

A tactical retreat now was in order. Blue eye would take on the punishment that failure meant. He began feeling phantom pain under his cybernetic eye , but shook it aside for now as he attempted to get the rest of his men out of there.

The tactical withdrawal was costly with rear guards being set up and chewed threw every couple of minutes. After a gruelling stairway skirmish, the 40 troops he had brought with him had been reduced to a meagre 12. And of those 12, almost all of them had sustained injury, blue eye included.

As they got in the aerial personnel carrier, blue eye collapsed to the ground exhausted, he then grabbed a set of pliers and a portable cut off saw from the first aid kit to remove all the bullets from his augments and flesh. As he needed to be in the best state possible in order to survive his punishment.

…

As Tobias’ men ran out of the building and began shooting as the retreating air vehicles, they began cheering after they realised they fought of the raid. I stayed behind however as I made my way to Jinx who sitting next to a wall holding her stomach.

As she saw me approach, she smiled and spat out some blood. “Hey baby, did you have fun?” She was clearly in a lot of pain, but was putting a front on for me. I stroked her face as I knelt down and looked at her lovingly before I asked. “How bad is it?”

Jinx’s face warped into confusion at the emotion in my eyes. “Wait baby, I am fine, I’m not dying. It just hurts like a bitch. There’s a few bullets stuck inside me and I cant move without causing more damage.”

I looked at at her conflicted before a massive wave of relief washed over me. Ignoring her clearly injured state, I hugged her and whispered. “Oh thank goodness.” Jinx winced in pain at my hug and mouthed ‘OOWWWW!’ However, the hug felt nice so she let it continue.

As I sat next to her, I took a glance over her entire body. It was riddled with holes. some were deep and some were just skin damage as the black chitin under her skin prevented more damage.

In my curiosity, I placed my finger into one of the holes to touch the chitin. ‘Interesting.’ I thought before I spoke softly at Jinx to not raise ears nearby. “Did you know your subdermal armouring is thicker and stronger than Onyx’s? That is really bizarre as she has just eaten a prime not too long ago and its incredibly durable now.” freewёbnoνel.com

Jinx flashed a bloody smile at my comment. “What can I say baby? I am just built different. Its probably to do with my Psionic strength on top of my mutations. Though can I ask you something?”

I looked at her face and nodded warmly as an indication to go ahead. “Can you stop fingering my bullet wound? I wanted your first time fingering me to be somewhere a little further down if you catch my drift.” Jinx then elbowed me in the ribs while laughing before she grunted in pain.

I was about to complain about the blow hurting, but I would look like a big baby if I did that and only my Origin can have that property in my being. As I thought that, I felt as though I had been electrocuted for a moment and cursed inwardly at how much my own mind enjoys harming its flesh sack.

Having taken my finger out of her sensitive hole, we sat there a little while with her shoulder on my head before we were interrupted. “Hello friends how are we doing over here- Holy shit woman how are you not dead!” Tobias said in shock as he saw the state of the blood soaked, bullet hole ridden Jinx.

I smiled and replied for the tired woman. “She is just built different.” Tobias looked at me a moment before laughing. “Hahahaha , well if that ain’t the truth. Man I should get me some of that armour you have under your skin girlie, though I don’t have the pain threshold for that type of surgery to be fair.”

Tobias then dropped a bag that was over his shoulder onto the floor before us. “Your goods are still safe and sound and since you saved a lot of my men today, I threw in some of the product that was not destroyed in the skirmish.”

Jinx smiled hearing that. She then whispered. “You are in the wrong line of business Toby, you are too charitable.” Tobias’ smile turned a little sombre. “Not charity, gratitude. Those men that came today were elite. I served in the Spartari military, I know better than anyone what surpasses the Phalanx and those people were it. I lost 58 good men today. People I considered brothers. However, if you were not here I would have lost them all.”

His smile then returned pleasant after saying that. “And besides, I have to find a new place to set up as this place is clearly compromised and I don’t feel like the men that came here take defeats lightly. I have to pack up fast so you taking a few extra pounds of drugs will actually help me out. That being said, when you can walk, you should really leave in case they come back sooner rather than later.”

As soon as Tobias said that, one of his men ran through the door panting. “Boss! A convoy of vehicles are making there way from the north. They are going to be here any minute!” Tobias cursed under his breath. “Shit what now.” He then turned back to us. “Right you two, up, up, up. Not having you fight again in that condition. Lets get you down to the bottom floor. You can take the back way out while we deal with whatever shit has brought its way to my door now.”

Despite the odds of possibly another firefight taking place soon, I helped Jinx take her time going down all the stairs. Once we made it to the bottom, the door to the appartments barged open and Tobias looked straight at us.

“Do you have any idea who is outside right now?” He said with a mixture of anger and worry. “A mad woman by the name of Lady Sophia. Now I don’t know why she is asking for you specifically, but If you do not comply with me and go see her right now, our new friendship can go fuck itself and I will drag you out there myself.”

‘Sophia? How did she know I was-‘ I trailed off as I looked at Jinx. ‘Right…’ “Woah cool your jets Toby I will-”

“No I will not cool my jets! That woman is bad news and I want her out of hear asap! Now move it!” Tobias was on edge and I could not get a word in to calm him down so I just sighed and helped Jinx outside.

On the street, a semi circle of vehicles was surrounding the building entrance with more than 100 bio cultists aiming their weapons at the tired gangers who were severely out numbered after the last fight.

In the middle of the of the two parties, a gorgeous woman with blonde hair stood impatiently tapping her foot, not bothered by the guns aimed her way. Once she spotted the man who she was worried for completely fine, her anxiety washed away as she smiled in relief.

“Here is the man you were looking for Lady Sophia, sorry for harbouring him, we did not know he was a person of interest to you.” Tobias said, throwing me under the bus, not cool…

“Thank you Mr Tobias.” Sophia said coldly before she nodded her head towards two cultists to help Jinx. Once they arrived with a stretcher, I placed Jinx down who fell asleep instantly and I continued walking over to Sophia.

When I stood right in front of her, she looked deeply into my eyes, her own being a torrent of emotions before she leaned in, wrapper her self around me, and began kissing me like crazy.
