I sat on the captians chair Nika on my lap alying the ship at normal speed. We didn't want to freak them out anymore than they were already and covering miles of distance in a blink of an eye wouldn't help that.

"The sisters are discussing what to do. Lucia wants to leave as soon as you tend to the groups wounds while Rosa wants them to join you us. Aylene also seems to want to stay. The others are mixed, some agree with Lucia and others with Rosa. Except for the teen guy, he hasn't said much and just stares at our door."

I stiffened."Is he attracted to you or something?"

She wiggled on my lap and rested her head on my shoulder."Would it matter? I don't care if he does I'm yours. Always have been."

I snorted, "won't stop fuckers from trying."

Nika smiled, "well im sure it won't be a problem, at least not in the way your thinking."

Nika kissed my jaw and settled in to my arms.

---------------------

A few minutes later Nika stopped the ship a few meters from the walls of my city. The walls were; a hundred feet tall and fourty feet wide in a star shape, a tower with automated turrents at every star point and corner both anti-personnel and anti-air.

The humans stared in awe at the structure. As they should, Nika had really hit it out of the park. The gates were opened by some A.W's followed by medical units who quickly took all the badly injured to the medical facilities and treated the small wounds on the spot.

After the treatment finished I tasked the A.W's to escort the humans to a hotel while I kept the three sisters behind as I needed to speak with them.

The three sisters stared at me, well one glared but what's the difference?

"Follow me, let's go somewhere more comfortable to speak" I called over a hover car and opened the co-pilot door for Nika. Looking at the girls I opened the passenger door and spoke again."C'mon get in. I don't want to stand here all day ladies."

They got in. One of them still glaring amd still looking badass.

Hmm, how could I get a scar. I can regenerate a whole limb so I doubt a scar would even remain after a cut.

I took us to a Japanese restaurant because I felt like eating sushi.

--------

Everyone was silent during the meal. Well the girls were i shamelessly flirted with Nika.

Hey if you have a girl, especially a pregnant one. You spoil her with affection. Simple as that. Screw what people think.

Even if you have to watch her eat pickles with butter.*shudder*

Anyway, after we finished eating l, Rosa finally spoke."So before we begin, I know that you are aware of my abilities, so i won't beat around the bush. Why can I only read your surface thoughts and why can't I read Nikas at all. At first I thought you were like me or that you were robots like the ones you have but Aylene asured me that the three of you were most certainly alive."

"Oh thats simple," I took a drink of my sake."that's because I'm not entirely human like I once was. And Nike wasn't one, ever."

"So then what are you?" Lucia asked.

"That's for me to know and for you to wonder"

Lucia snarled and threw her drink at me. I closed my eyes ready for the splash but it never came. I opened my eyes to find the alcohol stopped in midair. Aylenes eyes shining white. She flicked her hand the alcohol floated back to her sisters cup.

"Thanks. I love drinking sake but I prefer regulars water for my showers."

Nike glared at Lucia while Rosa looked exasperated.
