DoomPet

Chapter 63

The lack of power in the night didn't faze Samuel. After all, every day for a few hours in the darkest part of the night, the power is shut off to desperately try and conserve the coal they had left. It was the random power outages that scared him.

Of course it also didn't faze him for another reason. He had stayed over Elena's apartment all night, rigorously testing the durability of his new body part. She had tried every damn thing in the book and even some stuff he had never even heard of. By the time they fell asleep he was tired, sore, and so, so happy.

His joints felt achey. He vaguely thought that he'd have to oil them soon. The sex was wonderful. A bit awkward due to his lack of experience, but wonderful.

Faint echoes of orgasmic pleasure rattled around his skull when he moved his hips, but he hushed his urges. "Elena?" He looked around, realizing she wasn't in bed with him.

A shrill scream from out in the living room pierced the air, making Samuel leap up out of bed. "ELENA?" He was convinced an imp was ripping her to shreds again and ran out ready to slaughter whatever dared to touch her.

She was standing, staring at the TV, a breaking news story flashing across it, and talking to someone over the phone. "Ok! I'll be right down! Where's the head of the energy division?" There was a pause as she listened, "Well, mobilize troops and get the Slayer ready of course! We need it locked down now." Another long pause before she spoke again, "Ok wall section four, zone ten. I'll be down but keep it under control."

Samuel staggered over, leaning over the back of the couch, panicked, "The Slayer, the wall? What happened?"

Elena turned with a smile on her face and jumped up on the couch, standing on the cushions so she could kiss the robot. "We did it."

"Did what?" Samuel asked, pulling away from the kiss.

"An energy source, a new one, we found it. Samuel, we found it!" She laughed with sheer joy and fell back on the couch.

"Well what is the power source? Nuclear?" He walked around the couch to sit beside her, letting her rest her head in his metallic lap.

"Close." She looked so beautiful and happy at this moment, "It's in the severely corrupted zones." Her phone rang loudly and several messages came bursting through. "I- They need me. Samuel, I'll be back later." Elena hopped up and kissed his head before hurrying out. "Oh!" She poked her head into the room again, "Go get the Slayer! Hurry!"

Samuel was pleased and also terrified, despite all his work with hell he worried about what they had found for energy, but he knew who the true king of this matter would be. A short walk later he explained the whole situation and asked the question, "So what do you think?"

With his matted hair and drool smeared face, the Slayer blinked and looked up at Samuel from the covers of his bed. "What? How early is it?" He rubbed his face and hid from Samuel's stare with his hands, "You said thermodynamics and my brain just shut off. Why did the power go off last night?"

Crüe, still half asleep, let out a soft groan and scooted closer to Doomguy, wrapping an arm around him. "Stop. talking. 'bout. nerd. shit."

"It's like 6 AM get your asses up. I thought you woke up at 4 AM? Come on!" He poked and prodded the Slayer to no avail. "Oh we'll do this the hard way then." He walked into the living room and plucked Daisy out of her nest, nicking his rubber on the sharpened mattress spikes. Shaking her awake, he spoke, "Go lick the Slayer's face."

"Can I?"

"Yes, you have my permission."

She scuttled out of his grasp and into the room. He heard her leapt up on the bed and the Slayer burst out into an explosion of swears. Thirty seconds later he stomped out of the room, glaring at Samuel and clutching Daisy. "What happened? I didn't understand anything that you said. Does it involve demons?"
