 A wave of energy came from him. I stepped back. “Do that again?”

            “Do what again?” He asked. The energy disappeared.

            I looked off to the side and tried to figure out what that was. I looked into the window. “Zorka did his readings change?”

            She came out of the room with shock on her face. “Yeah….” she went back in. She came back out with the data on a glass screen.

            “What?” Mark asked as she handed it to me.

            I looked at the readings. The energy spike proves that he’s strong but doesn’t realize it. His heart rate didn’t spike so there’s a large amount of untapped power trying to get out.

            “Maybe it’s…” I mumbled thoughtfully as I handed him the glass screen. He held the handhold on the side.

            He looked at it and the layers of glass started to separate. The hand hold separated from the glass and also took itself apart. He cupped his hands below it and it floated out to display every piece. Electricity pulsed between the main components.

            I chuckled. “You would get the technology affinity.”

            He looked at me and smiled, “I am an engineer.”

            “Biomechanical,” I replied as I put my hands below his. I overrode his powers and everything put itself back together and I took it from him. I kept silent and started inputting information into his file. Zorka returned to the observation room.

            It took a few moments but when I finished I looked up at him. He had been looking around the room. His eyes landed on the tanks of liquid.

            He got up and went over to them.

            I wonder how long he can be distracted so that he doesn’t realize that his robe came off.

I walked over and stood next to him. I held the tablet to my hip.  

            “What is in here?”

            “It’s a concentrated Healing Water from the planet my trainer is from.” I answered, putting my hand on his back.

            He froze, “I can feel your hand on my back.”

            I started to laugh “There it is,” He looked around for it. “Just…” I trailed off as I watched him use his bone powers to cover himself. “…go change.”

            He glared at me.

            “Watch your emotions. It can get deadly really quickly.” I warned, watching him leave.

I followed him to the door and left him alone to change. Zorka stood next to me. She was glowing.

            “Thank you,” she whispered.

            “Don’t thank me. That wasn’t on purpose. The robe flew off in the energy field and his accelerated metabolism warmed him so that he didn’t notice.” I explained then laughed. I nudged her playfully. “Don’t get carried away, Zorka.”

            She smiled, “I won’t.” She showed me her other tablet and took mine.

            I smiled and rested my head on the wall. I held up the tablet so I could watch the video. “This is in the database I hope you know.”

            “I know. We always record them,” she said. “But I might keep this one.” She smiled at the video and watched how he stood there without any realization to being naked. “Or this one,” She said, flipping to the next one.

            “Front view, good job.” I said sarcastically and looked away. “It’s like you’re a kid again.” I pushed her back into the other room. “Go clean up the archives or something.”

            The door opened and Mark walked out. He wasn’t wearing his shirt but wore the briefs and shorts. “It’s too hot to wear the shirt,” he mumbled as I lead him further down the hallway.

            “We’ll deal with your wings next, then take you to my Superiors. After that I’ll lock your powers and take you home.” I explained as he walked beside me.

            “Do I get a uniform?” he asked as he strayed from me to stare out the window, out at space. it wasn’t the best view, but that didn’t matter.

            “What’s that?” He asked, pointing at something. his eyes were locked on something.

            I walked over to the window and followed where he was pointing. My vision zoomed in and I focused on something moving on the surface. It was too large to ignore. I put my hand on the communicator on my vest, “Bridge, come in.”

            “Bridge here, over.”

            “Is there a patrol in section E right now?”

            “No there isn’t why?” the respondent didn’t let go of the line and I figured he was looking it up on the cameras. “That’s not us…. Oh shit!” his voice became distant with his next statement, “Code Red! Security to Section E! Full defense and plasma protection!” His announcement echoed through the hall.

            I watched as one poked its head up and looked at me. I saw heat waves radiate from its mouth as it bobbed its head up and down as it ran towards me. It leaped up and dug its claws into the overhang then moved its head to look in the window at us.

            I wrapped my arm around Mark’s chest and backed away from the window slowly. “Stay still,” I whispered as it looked at us better. The gold slitted eyes pierced through the heavily tinted glass and saw us.  

            I felt Inner Demon instantly become more active and I felt a power surge course through my body.

            The floor shook as the air locks opened and five ships went out to fight the ones farther off. 

            I moved my arm up slowly, creating a barrier over us and backed into the wall. The thing put one of its front feet on the window and growled at us with sharp teeth that slowly parted then closed. I put Mark behind me and with my free arm grabbed the air in front of me, clenched my hand into a fist.

            This was dangerous as hell, I know. Plasma versus super powered hybrid energy doesn’t end well for the hybrid. And this isn’t exactly covered in training.

            I held my left arm up until I knew I had a grip on its body. I kept it there instead of trying something. It pushed against me and I felt more, darker power flow through my arm and reinforce it. Black energy engulfed my own green energy. I walked forward as it started to pull away. It was pulling me to the glass. My hand met the glass and was pulled through it.

            I flung a barrier back at Mark then used my right arm to prop myself against the glass. I looked at it face to face.
