The grogginess has worn off for the most part, but your mind is elsewhere as Brother Blood continues to press you for answers.

Based on what you heard, you can deduce that you're a human in appearance only.

That data Blood listed off made it sound like every cell of you was manufactured in some lab, and it seemed like whoever was behind your creation was important.

The names of Lex Luthor and Lexcorp aren't new to you, but you don't understand how some Wall Street fat-cat is involved in making something like you... Whatever you are.

Lex Luthor is just some CEO based on what little you've heard about him, so what does he have to do with all this?

Then there's that other name: Cadmus. What the hell was it? You're just as lost as Brother Blood is in regards to that.

You pinch your eyebrows. You came here for answers, not more questions.

“Battery!” Blood's voice rings out, breaking your concentration. Your tired eyes look over towards him.

Brother Blood's agitated face continues to gaze at you as he clutches the tablet filled with your data tightly in his hand.

“Stop ignoring me and tell me what you can remember about Lexcorp! You don't expect me to believe you came all this way with no memories of there, do you?!”


A: “You're supposed to be the one with the answers. What do YOU know about Lexcorp?”

B: “I don't even know what I am, Headmaster. What else did you discover?”

C: “Did you find any other abilities I might have?”

D: “I'm too tired to deal with this right now. Let me go.”

>B: “I don't even know what I am, Headmaster. What else did you discover?”

In fact, unless you've been given false memories, you have an entire life worth of memories to talk about, and none that involved lex or cadmus

“You're supposed to be the one with the answers. What do YOU know about Lexcorp?”

Brother Blood seems to hesitate for a moment as his mind tries to come up with a “serviceable” answer.

“Let's just say there's men on this Earth that even I wouldn't cross. You have Lexcorp branding on several parts of you, and if you're truly one of his creations then you are a great risk to keep.”

Brother Blood's eyes return to his tablet, quickly scrolling through it.

“But you're more than just some weapon... Why would he go to the trouble of giving you reproductive properties?” Blood questions himself, stroking his jawline as he investigates.

“All this trouble just for an android,” He mutters. “What were you made for?”

Android? That's what you are? Are you really just an imitation of a human? That can't be right.

Blood looks back over to you, noticing that you seem troubled.

“What is it, Battery?”


A: “I can't just be an android, right? I've had dreams and stuff! Hell, I'm even in love with someone!”

B: “What did you discover in regards to me suddenly learning a martial art? Is there anything else locked away”

C: “Wait, is Luthor known for making weapons? I thought he was just some jerk-off from Wall Street.”

There's no way you're just a machine. You stand from the work bench you had been laying on, struggling to balance for a moment.

“I can't just be an android, right? I've had dreams and stuff! Hell, I'm even in love with someone!”

Brother Blood looks at you with an amusement.

“I'm well aware of your budding romance, Battery. Blackfire stopped by to visit you, but you were still under. She left you a kiss on the cheek and this,” He reaches down, picking up what appears to be a shopping bag and handing it over to you.

You take a look inside, seeing a pair of jeans, tennis shoes and a black tee-shirt.

“She said she doesn't want you wearing that costume when you take her out on a date,” Blood remarks.

“Pleasantries aside, I'm afraid that you are just an android. What skin and organs you do have are just made from a synthetic material identical to human flesh. Hell, even your brain looks like a normal one, but I'm sure it's “programmed” to feel a certain way. However, analyzing this material uncovered a digital signature; Cadmus. I've never heard of it, but it's possible that it assisted in your appearance.”

You sort of slump hearing all that, questioning how genuine your emotions are, even the disappointment you feel now.

You look over at Brother Blood, trying to push the dilemma out of your mind.

A: “What else did you find?”

B: “So you think Cadmus is another lab or something?”

C: “Thanks for the help Headmaster. I need to go get some air.”

You're welcome.

>>1763485
>A

You do your best to ignore your internal crisis. You came here trying to figure out how you acquired your power, not whether or not you're considered human.

“What else did you find?” You ask.

“Well for starters...” Blood trails off, his eyes returning to the tablet.

“What ever system operates your body seems to be, er... Corrupted? Fragmented? It's all out of sorts, really. Most of your key components seem to be temporarily encrypted and only unlock when your body deems it necessary. Good news, though. I think I might've uncovered something in my analysis. Do you feel any different?”

You look down at your hands, searching inside yourself for... Anything, really.

Something inside you clicks as your hands tremble, an electric current starting to travel up your arms and around your body.

You feel processes begin to work in your mind like a mechanical instinct. You don't exactly know what you're doing, but it makes sense to you all the same.

Suddenly your vision becomes hazy as the current intensifies. There's a blue flash across your eyes and you find your body lunging forward off balance.

As you regain your stance, you look around and notice you've traveled away from the work bench a considerable distance. Your mind repeats the mental process as you focus your sight on a different part of the room, finding yourself traveling to it in the same fashion.

Brother Blood looks at you with bemusement as you zip around the room, blinking as he observes you.

“It seems your body can compress itself into a bolt of electricity and zap you over to anywhere you desire... Fascinating.”

Brother Blood says that last bit with a smirk, looking at his reflection in the tablet screen.

“If that's all Battery I'd like to get going. There's work I need to get done.” Brother Blood informs you, heading towards the exit.

“There's no more classes today, so if you want to get changed in those new clothes of yours you may. No one's allowed in here after school. Oh! Don't forget your punishment either. I've sent details to your communicator.”

You finish testing your new ability and watch him exit, thinking about what to do next.

[New Power: Bolt Blink!]

A: Get changed and go see Blackfire. She might be worried about you.

B: Go see Control Freak. You might want to see him about some “adjustments” to your suit.

C: Get out of HIVE and explore the city. It's been a while since you've seen Lain and you also need to chase down some members of The Oni.

D: Check your communicator and get started on that mission.

E: Go visit Red X in the infirmary. You're curious about how he's doing.

You take off the belt to your outfit, feeling it vanish from you and temporarily leave you in the buff.

After you get dressed, you decide to go see Blackfire. Afterwards you might want to visit Control Freak and have him make some changes to your costume.

You make your way through HIVE's halls in your casual attire, heading to Blackfire's room first in hopes of finding her there.

Opening her door reveals the young alien girl laying on her bed with her legs idly kicking back and forth behind her. Her eyes pull away from a fashion magazine in front of her as you enter, causing a smile to flash across her face at the sight of you.

“There you are! I was starting to get worried.” She exclaims, closing her magazine and floating towards you.

Her strong arms wrap around you tightly as she pulls you in for a quick kiss. You can't help but give her a warm smile and a hug back.

She rests her head against your chest for a moment as you hold her each other, delighted at the physical contact you share as she takes both of your hands into her own.

“So, how'd it go? You were out for hours.”

A: “I wound up finding more questions than answers, unfortunately. You don't know anything about Lexcorp or Cadmus, do you?”

B: “Not great... I'm worried about not being an actual person. In Brother Blood's words, I'm just an android.”

You shake your head.

“I wound up finding more questions than answers, unfortunately. You don't know anything about Lexcorp or Cadmus, do you?”

“Ugh, that's annoying. Sorry to hear, baby. Hmm...” Blackfire audibly thinks to herself, stepping away from you.

She reaches over to her shelf and grabs a half-full bottle of barbecue sauce, tilting her head back and pouring it into her mouth as she downs it with a big gulp.

“Ah!” She sighs, turning back to you as she wipes an index finger across her lips and slurps left-over sauce off it, coating it with her saliva.

“I've never heard of Cadmus, but Lexcorp is a different story. I had lunch with the rest of The Five today and Jinx was giving me a quick rundown of what they've done lately. She mentioned some examples of organizations that hired them, one of those being...”

“Lexcorp.” You say, finishing her sentence. She just responds with an acknowledging nod.

“Yeah. Doesn't seem to be a company built on morals. Why do you ask?”


A: “I'm pretty sure Lexcorp made me. I'm not human, Blackfire, just a machine.”

B: “Cadmus and them had something to do with me. Brother Blood said it was a risk having me around.”

“Cadmus and them had something to do with me. Brother Blood said it was a risk keeping me around.”

Blackfire nods.

“I can see the reasoning for that. If he knew about you being here, he'd think Brother Blood stole his tech. That's why you have that dorky costume, though.”

Blackfire gently punches your shoulder in a teasing manner, but the playful smile on her face disappears once she gets a closer look at you.

It's been troubling you since you left the lab, and you can guess it's showing on your face seeing how Blackfire is starting to look worried.

“Are you okay, baby?” She asks, putting a comforting hand on your shoulder.

“Lexcorp made me, Blackfire. I'm just a machine.” You tell her, looking away from the concerned Tamaranean.

However, you feel her fingers on your chin as she delicately turns you face back to her. She looks at you sternly, as if she is about to command you.

“Don't be absurd. You are far greater than any ordinary machine.”

A: “There's more to it than that. How do I know if anything I feel is real? What if I don't actually want to be close to you and there's just a program in my head telling me to be with you? Brother Blood said that's a possibility.”

B: “I suppose you're right, but what if I'm mass produced or something? That could be a problem.”

You smile. She's right. You're not just some machine, you're a machine who doesn't take shit from anyone and has a hot alien babe to back him up.

“I know, it's just a lot to take take in. Thank you.”

“No worries, Battery. I'm not really one to hold true to my culture's standards, but on Tamaran it's important to share your emotions. Don't hesitate to be open with me, okay?”

Her digits drift away from your chin as her hand gently glides down your neck and collar, laying her palm flat over your synthetic heart as she feels its rhythmic beating.

“You may not consider yourself human, but you feel like one to me...” She says in a low voice, her eyelids lowering as she gazes up at you.

You put and arm around her waist and pull her body tightly against your, bringing your lips to hers in a loving kiss.

Her hand moves up to caress the side of your face just as you pull away, sighing happily as your wet lips part from each other.

“You make me feel human.” You tell her, moving your hand up from her waist and to up and down her back.

“If feeling human makes you spout corny lines like that, then please remain a machine.” Blackfire teases as you both share a laugh.

You decide that Control Freak can wait until tomorrow. Right now you just want to spend some time with your girlfriend.

“We should go out while there's still time left in the day.”

Blackfire shows a wide smile. It seems like she was really looking forward to going out on an actual date with you.

“Alright handsome, where to?”


A: “Let hit up a restaurant. You need to experience barbecue sauce on some real food.”

B: “Let's go clubbing. I wanna see you move.”

C: “I know a nice little coffee shop we can chill at.”

“Let's hit up a restaurant. You need to experience barbecue on some real food.”

Blackfire grins.

“YES! That's a perfect idea! Let me get changed, alright?” She flies up excitedly, tearing through her closet and taking an armful of clothes with her into the bathroom.

After a few minutes she comes out, wearing some more suitable clothing for going out in public. She's dressed in another rock band tee-shirt and a pair of high-cut shorts that hug tightly against her figure.

She sits on her bed for a moment to put on a pair of purple sneakers, standing up taking your hand once she's ready.

You both arrive at the vehicle bay and mount your bike, Blackfire hugs her arms around your waist as the engine roars to a start and the bike's red lights illuminate you both.

The tunnel connecting to the vehicle bay leads you to a trail just outside of a cove facing the sea, and taking the trail upwards eventually brings you to a road you can use to make it to the city.

It's been a while since you've hit the asphalt with your bike, and the return to the road feels even sweeter with Blackfire hugging onto you and cheering excitedly as you speed like a bat out of hell towards delicious meats.

You both reach the inner city limits in no time, cruising until you find the best looking steakhouse you can find, departing from the bike as you both enter Yosemite Sam's Bar and Grill.

You're greeted by a southern belle-looking waitress, who shows you a grin missing a few teeth.

“Howdy! Table fer two?”

Your both led through the gold rush-themed restaurant, sitting at a booth that looks like a caravan with a few Apache arrows sticking out of it's top.

“Now wut kin I get ya'll sweethearts ta' drank?” The waitress asks through her poorly performed accent.

A: “I'll just have some soda.”

B: “Water will be fine.”

C: “Beer.”

D: “We'll both take your strongest whiskey.”

"We'll both take your strongest whiskey."

The waitress' grin stays plastered on her face as her eyes look at you both like you're crazy.

"Haw haw haw! You kids'r silly. You don't actually expect some alcohol, right?"

A: "We're with HIVE, ma'am. We can have alcohol."

B: "Give it to use or we'll tear this place apart."

You look at Blackfire and nod, prompting her to smile and ignite on of her hands with a purple flame.

“WHAT IN TARNATION?!” The waitress exclaims, jumping back at the sight of the fire.

The restaurant goes quiet for a moment at the sudden outburst as most of the patrons stare in your direction.

“A-Awhh... Yessir mister alien, I'll get you some mighty fine bourbon r-right away!” She says as her accent starts to fall apart, flopping the menus down on the table and scurrying away.

Blackfire just bursts out laughing, holding onto her abdomen as she leans forward and guffaws.

“That was brilliant, Battery! We need to assess the planet's drinks! BAHAHAHA!”

You can't help but chuckle to yourself at her reaction. However, you've never drank anything hard like whiskey. You pipe up and ask Blackfire if she's had any experience.

“Oh, I've had plenty of intoxicating liquors on Tamaran after clashes, but I've yet to taste what Earth has to offer.”

She snickers.

“Perhaps I will be assessing the beverages.” She says, letting out another snort of laughter as two bottles of bourbon are brought to your table along with two small glasses.

“Y-Ya'll ready to order up some grub?” The waitress nervously asks.

Blackfire orders a heaping amount of food. 36 plates of assorted barbecue and steaks to be exact, with the latter being cooked blue rare. Your order dwarfs hers, but you're sure it's enough to fill you.

Once the waitress has left, Blackfire looks over at you with a smirk.

“So,” She begins, propping an elbow up on the table and resting her head in her hand.


A: “Shall we drink?”

B: “You ordered a lot of food. What's the deal?”

C: “Tell me more about Tamaran. What's it like there?”

Blackfire orders 36 plates, and our order dwarfs hers? I hope we're ready to wait here for a couple days while all that gets cooked.

I mean, I think it's pretty clear what Blackfire sees in Battery/Reno. She explained it decently enough when they were last cuddling.
We should probably tell her our real name tho.

>>1764481
Oops, it's supposed to say

>her order dwarfs yours

“Tell me more about Tamaran. What's it like there?”

“Oh, you'd like it. It's a planet of warriors and strength, though most of the people there are complete fools.”

She chuckles darkly to herself, pushing the glass aside and going straight for the bottle.

“Like I said, Tamaraneans are very emotional. We fully express our feelings with words and touch, which is how I was able to gull them all under my heel. Do not worry, everything I've expressed towards you since yesterday is true to my heart.”

She gives you a wink, downing some of the contents of the bottle without wincing. You're impressed.

“Mmm... It's not bad, but nothing compared to spiced Glorffurzzle blood. When I reclaim the throne, you must dine with me in the hall of Vakgar. Only the strongest may indulge in the pleasures that are held there.”

You don't know what the hell her alien words mean, but it all sounds really fun for someone like you.

“Aren't you going to drink with me? Your liver is as strong as the rest of that body, right?” She purrs somewhat sensually.


A: Pour some in a glass, then drink it.

You take the bottle that was left for you and pour it into your glass. You raise it to Blackfire, who raises her bottle in return as you both alcohol down your throats.

Your face scrunches up from the taste and the sensation it gives you. You weren't expecting such a kick.

Blackfire just smiles at you smugly, proudly taking another swig from the bottle.

“I'm stronger~” She sings teasingly at you.


A: “Oh yeah? Watch this!” [chug the bottle]

B: “Really? Maybe we should arm wrestle.”

C: “Alright, alright. Tell me more about Tamaran culture. You told me your race expresses things through touch, but how far does that go until it's intimate?”

“Oh yeah? Watch this!”

You grab the bottle and tilt your head back, trying to chug all the contents.

You get about half way, but the sensation is too much and you start to choke and dribble the rest down your chin.

You slam the half empty bottle down with a hiccup, starting to feel woozy as you become intoxicated.

Despite your messy failure, you at least managed to make Blackfire laugh again. She happily cackles at your display, her face getting red with laughter as yours does the same from the liqour.

Shortly after, your food is brought to the table. You gingerly try to eat your modest plate despite your intoxication messing with your coordination.

Blackfire, on the other hand, is an absolute monster. Plate after plate of meats is delivered to her throughout the hour, and with a mighty roar her bare hands rip into the cooked flesh as she devours every ounce of her feast. Her mouth and hands are stained with delectable sauces and the blood of very rare steaks, and her eyes burn as she ferociously sates her hunger. Her fiery eyes stare into the food like it's an enemy as she puts on this eating spectacle for you and the other patrons to witness.
