2. The Lilith stories - 2

I met some superpowered dudes while hospitalized. The events that happened last week leave me a bit depressed. Still I'm paying my undue fee regularly though. Since the hospital is a government controlled facilities, my government grant is handy in situation like this.

Well, I'm hoping I get out soon though. Being near Lilith as she is right now is too creepy for me. Right now, right then, I want to run out of the hospital running, but more likely than not the guards are going to chase me because "schizophrenic patient", well fuck you too buddies, I'm paying my due. If the world was not destroyed and remade, I wouldn't even be in this situation.

As I walk down the hall, I met a group of four that come for check up. There are two boys and two girls. They were laughing and joking when they walk. One of the boy bumb into me.

"Sorry." He says, his arm is bigger than my entire body, so I decided that it is wise not to make a fuzz. My broken bones haven't healed anyway, but it is progressing nicely.

Yesterday, a doctor expresses his surprise at how fast I'm healing.

But no, I don't have any healing power, because if I use my OP uncontrollable power for small shit like that, the intended target may miss and pop a timeline or two. So I'm not doing anything, and let everything progress normally.

No, no I don't have an super healing power, but my bones are mending fast according to normal people. It is because to them I have been in here for like a week, but really it has been more than a month you know. I'm going crazy at the rate this woman is reseting thing. If I'm not confined in some boring hospital room, I won't even care, but since I am, it is getting depressing lately.

Being near Lilith always makes me depressed.

Anyway, after I ignore the Wonder Four, that is, the four people that look like they are the happiest people in the world, I trudge back to my room. But before I trudge back to my room, some kind of explosion happened behind me.

A flesh explosion.

Chunks and blood are flying everywhere as a single tentacle make its appearance.

I was thinking, 'oh, so those four was Ability Holder too' since Lilith is going on a hunt and all, but next thing I know, I was back at the other end of the corridor. I look around in confusion, someone do the timewarp again, but Lilith hasn't even finished her feast yet has she?

To avoid trouble, I get back to my room.

The next few moments are very troubling, if I'm annoyed by Lilith doing the timewarp every few days or so, I'm even more annoyed by the constant timewarp happening right now.

So I'm drinking water, it is half full, but then suddenly it is full again, so I continue to drink. After a while, I put the cup down, because I refuse to participate in the game, the cup constantly become full and then empty, and then full and then empty, even though I'm not drinking it, as if it is enacting that event even though I'm not participating. After a while, the glass pops out of existence because of the constant time paradox.

There is no cup.

And then in the future if I want to get water, I have to ask the orderlies nicely again, and the people at the hospital will be suspicious if I have done anything with the glass that can turn into sharp sharp pieces. But I didn't do anything you know, it is just all kind of crazy right now.

A woman walks into my room.

It is the woman from before, from the group that bump into me. Suddenly she says

"It's you. You are the only thing that changed."

And then she charges me just like that. I realize she is holding a knife.

Shit, I don't want any stab wound. I tried to run but before that could happen, a figure emerge in the room. It is Lilith, her appearance is bloodsoaked, she isn't smiling or crying, she just is, and currently, she is holding the knife wielding lady by her neck. Lilith's mouth opens wide, revealing all the teeth, her hand squeeze.

A scream.

The knife wielding lady disappear, Lilith is still here, looking at me.

"What are you looking at?" I told her "Go and find her, and leave me in peace please."

And just like that, the cannibal ability holder just walk out of the room.

Whew. I breathe out.

So the new world has a few people with time abilities too, I thought the new world was supposed to be weaksauce but here we are, an ability holder whose face I don't recognize doing crazy shit with time.

But of course she is no match for Lilith.

Even though that person did the timewarp, the only people who was not affected was Lilith and me. She should have realized it by now.

I really hope that she just let Lilith do her thing. It will be over quickly, and then everyone will forget about it like it never happen. It is the best option for them.

Not me though, Lilith couldn't even start with eating me.

The sun outside was setting, I choose to use it as the sign of the time. Suddenly, it was rising instead of setting

I was lying on my hospital bed, with a glance, I saw a group of people at my door.

It was the group of four.

The muscular leader looking guy was asking the knife wielding chick

"What are you doing Sophia? Suddenly you drag all of us here, saying we all need to be here."

I watched on with interest, so finally coming to me for help aye. Good good, finally there are people who recognize my truly awesomeness.

"This has all happened before."

'Sophia' says. Her group finally shuts up and listens. When some timetraveling badass who can warp time like a pretzel says something, you better listen. Sophia suddenly looks over her teammates sadly. There was a look of vulnerable on their face as if they are dreading what she is about to say next

"You all died in all previous timelines. Only I manage to escape through time."
