The hivemind is conquering for me?

Rhea and Willow were left shocked at my statement, while Kathrine eyed Willow Curiously. 'Two in one lifetime. I should go by the lottery at this point, even though its worthless to me.'

"You have a unique Psionic ability too?" Willow asked utterly surprised once again by the man she had just met.

"Yes." I said and was about to ask Willow to continue her explanation but Rhea barked up. "Prove it."

I turned to look at her. "Prove it?" I parroted. "Yes prove it, while I would like to take your word for it, all the things you have been telling us about yourself have been a little over the top. Therefore I would appreciate some proof." She demanded.

Her words seemed fair. Compared to most humans I have had above and beyond care and training in my Psionics thanks to my love and naturally the benefits have paid off. "While I would in general show you my unique ability, It is, how do I put this, rather flashy? Definitely not suitable for a restaurant scene as It would scare almost all patrons."

"Apollo honey, I have that video of Caleb's if you are ok with showing your ability. You don't have to, remember that." Kathrine offered as she glared harshly at her daughter.

Rhea was surprised by her moms look, but did not comment on it. "Sure, the cats already out of the bag with the mercenaries and if you trust everyone here, I don't see why not." I replied.

Kathrine laughed at my accidental pun as she took out her communicator and opened up the video. She then passed it to me and said. "Just hit the button at the bottom of the screen when ready."

After being handed the device, Rhea and Willow scooched up in their seats and were now sandwiching my body with their own. As I clicked play they both watched on in fascination at the battle that was taking place. "What are those Robots?" Willow asked. All she got was a spiteful "SHHHH!" from Rhea who was infatuated with the battle taking place.

Eventually the cameras view was changed to me fighting the Phobos in the distance as our attacks blurred against one another. When I was kicked and sent flying into a pillar, Willow gasped in shock while Rhea continued to look intently.

She was confused as Apollo had not used any visible Psionic attacks apart from the bullets that she could also do. As she thought that, her thought was shut up by a large blue behemoth, feline with bulging muscles.

While the two spectators saw a living ball of raw power and mass, in my eyes The big chonk looked like a giant chibi kitten, totally harmless.

As the fight ended with me passing out and Sapphire protecting my body, the video cut out. "So thats my unique ability, Her name is Sapphire she's a good girl." "That things a she?" Rhea could not help utter in shock." She had seen and killed many Alien peoples and creatures, but she had never seen something so large and with such large muscles function with that amount of speed.

"Yea isn't it obvious? I mean look how cute she is." I said as I pointed at her large maw. Willow was staring in awe. She had not met another person with a unique Psionic power before. She felt bad Apollo had to share an extra piece of information while she had yet to give him anything about her own power.

I felt a tug on my sleeve and looked over to Willow. She was cupping her hand in the air and I understood what she wanted to do. I leant over slightly and allowed her to continue to whisper into my ear.

Kathrine watched on at Willow and Apollo with great curiosity. She wanted to know about Willows power and wondered if Apollo would give anything away. His face had begun to show a variety of facial expressions from shocked to intrigue.

When I drew back from the whisper, I looked at Willow and forgot about my filter. "Well then, I have not been scareoused in quite some time, well done. Yes I totally understand why you want to keep your aura's a secret, those who don't have a good grasp on Psionics wouldn't understand and I thank you sincerely for trusting me with information you provided."

Willow could not look at me now and turned away embarrassed. I chuckled at her reaction and turned to finish my meal. Upon doing so, I noticed Kathrine staring at me in a way that had inquiry written all over her face.

"No Willow trusted me with her secret and I won't be telling you, and trust me you don't wanna know."

"Is it that bad?" Kathrine could not help stare at Willow with trepidation. "Urm, not really bad per se, It is more... Just trust me, you don't want to know."

Kathrine decided to trust my Judgement. If I was not running away screaming, she could probably live with it.

The rest of the dinner past by with more general conversation, mostly Kathrine asking her children about every modicum of their lives.

After desert, Rhea offered an invitation to Kathrine's building for more drinks. "Come on Apollo~ This is your last night of employment with my mother, surely you wish to go off with a bang?" Rhea said while slurring as she had been drinking heavily throughout the meal and a while before and after.

Willow also looked at me with an eagerness, she had begun to feel slightly liberated from what I could tell after having finally told someone about her ability other than Rhea and her boss.

"Yes please if its not too much trouble? I think tonight will be fun if you were with us." She followed up behind Rhea, not nearly as drunk however.

Nathanos looked over at me while putting on his blazer. 'He attracts them so casually.' He could not help to think. The man wasn't jealous, it was his sister and her weird friend after all, but he was observing how Apollo acted all night. 'No filter, acts casual, doesn't try to impress and let his actions speak for themselves.'

Nathanos kept all this information in his head and decided he was going to try out this tactic tonight. "Mom, I'm going to go out for the night, Don't wait up." He said and leaned over to kiss his mother on the cheek."

"Ok sweetie, make sure you text me where you are staying so I know in case you go missing. I dont need details, just that ok?" Kathrine said acting the concerned mother. "Ugh, fine only because I don't want you to slap me again." Nathanos muttered.

In response to that, Kathrine mimicked going to slap Nathanos again. However, she stopped before contact and stroked his cheek. "Good boy."

I saw no reason to decline the invitation as I had no other engagements. "Sure thing, As long as Kathrine is ok with it?" I said looking over.

Kathrine had just kissed her son goodbye and turned back to me. "Apollo stop being purposely slow, yes you are coming back to my building, It is non negotiable." She said with a scheming smile.

Nathanos had left in his vehicle, so Kathrine had to call her vehicle to pick us up. I'm the meantime, Rhea, Willow and I went back downstairs to the cosmic themed bar for more drinks.

The two girls were animals at drinking and had forgone their pleasant fruity drinks for shot after shot of a strong, sweet liqueur. They drank enough in 10 minutes to the point I was actually struggling to keep up their pace and the alcohol had no actual affect on me.

It was at this point that Kathrine walked back in. She was surprised at the pyramids that had formed in front of the thee of us in such a short amount of time.

She walked over and tapped me on the shoulder. "Are you still sober enough to understand what I am saying dear?"

"Yes I am perfectly fine." I said, causing a little confusion of Kathrine's face as she looked at the pyramid. "Can you pay for the drinks while I get these two in the vehicle?" She said as she passed me her bank chip.

I actually felt rather touched she trusted me this much, it was a lot of money to hold all at once. To Kathrine however, she felt like it was the most natural thing to do.

As a thank you for the trust, I reached for the chip and leaned up and kissed her for a moment. Kathrine grew bashful and pulled away as we were in public, but no one seemed to care or notice. "No problem kat, I'll pay then help you."

Kathrine did not need help as she proceeded to pick the two women up like sacks of potatoes under her arm and carry them out. I then simply payed for the drinks and the meal upstairs with a tap of the chip and followed her out while putting the chip in my breast pocket.

After following Kathrine into the vehicle, It was but a short flight to Kathrine's building, and Instead of landing on the ground, the driver landed straight onto her apartments balcony.
