Preconceived Notions

Hello everyone. This is a simple short story where the prompt was "Write about someone who has a superpower" and there was a limit of 3000 words. 

This was my interpretation of it. 

I hope you like it =)

It was almost six o'clock when, abruptly, the intercom buzzed, snapping me out of my perfect focus. As a result, the flask on my right hand fell on the floor and some droplets of the fluoroantimonic acid began corroding my shoes and all the way to my bone. In spite of my quick healing powers, I cursed as I felt the excruciating pain.

"Aleksander, Queen Aaliyah requests your immediate presence in the main hall."

With a puff of annoyance, I stomped down the stairs.

"What is it you want mother?" She shot daggers at me, but I was too tired to even bother about my lack of manners.

"General Moore has found this ugly creature trespassing our grounds." In one quick and violent movement, General Moore kicked the alien causing it to stumble forward and fall on the floor. A loud and disturbing crack echoed through the walls. Suddenly, a red liquid began oozing from the humanoid.

"Mother!"

Her mouth curved into a wicked grin. Sometimes, my mother disgusted me with her lack of compassion. She lived for death.

Instinctively, my legs dashed towards the limp body. Up close, the figure was clearly of a human female. But how did a human manage to get in Etherea? Our planet was at least at 2.5 million light-years from Earth and last time I checked their technology was still too primitive for such lengthy journeys.

"You ought to study it and present me and the court a thorough report within a month."

I carefully hoisted her into my arms and carried her to my lab.

The bleeding on her forehead had finally ceased, but her body was covered in deep cuts. Probably from the swords. My fists clenched and rage began bubbling inside me. Our soldiers knew only brute force and thus, behaved like irrational animals.

I tore her dirty garments so that I could clean her cuts properly and see if she had any life-threatening wounds.

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

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Somebody help me!!"

Once again, the unexpected ear-splitting caused the vial containing the fluoroantimonic acid to spill all over my hand. If I had a heart, I would have definitely died from a heart attack by now...

Her eyes widened in shock as she witnessed my hand heal by itself.

"W-Who are you?"

"Hello Miss, my name is Aleksander. And you are?"

"Eva. Where am I?"

"You are in Etherea."

"So that means the scriptures were right..."

"What scriptures?"

"None of your goddamn business."

"Are all humans as rude as yourself?"

"Are all aliens green perverts?"

"Eva, I only removed your clothes so that I could tend to your wounds. I did not mean to offend you."

"Humph...Next time ask first."

"So, you are saying that I will have to take off your clothes another time?"
