The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness

Chapter 43 - Alice and Zeel Once More

Zeel planted his feet in the ground. The cement surface cracked under the strain of his powerful footstep.

A 300ft fall took a lot out of Zeel's remaining stamina in his injured state, but Zeel didn't have the time to pay attention to his recovery.

Zeel widened his legs to shoulder-length. He needed a good foundation to stop the incoming 'missile'.

Alice's plane was about to descend onto the roof, but it was more along the lines of crashing.

With a massive rumbling noise, the plane descended but another problem soon presented itself.

The plane still traveling too fast to slow down in time.

At this rate, Zeel could not stop the plane without damaging it so he decided to disperse the force over a certain distance.

For a brief moment, Zeel also got dragged along with the plane.

After dispersing enough of the force, Zeel then dug his feet into the concrete below. The plane instantly halted under his insurmountable strength.

With a sufficient counterbalancing weight, Zeel then flexed every muscle he could spare.

The plane stopped just beyond the edge of the building. The ravenous Zombies below entered a frenzy at the disappointment of missing another meal.

The group stood at the side, completely appalled by the super-human feat Zeel had just completed.

While anyone would like the looks of admiration at the moment, Zeel was more concerned about his worsening wounds.

Zeel preferred assistance instead of mere observation and admiration.

"Little help here?" Zeel yelled, throwing a death stare at everyone there.

He was still holding onto the wing of Alice's plane. He was confused about why Alice didn't just float the plane down with her telekinesis but didn't pay it much attention.

'Why can't Alice just use telekinesis to stop the plane? Even if she is weak right now, it shouldn't be by much,' Zeel reasoned in his mind.

Alice exited the plane and jumped toward Zeel with excitement. It was the excitement of a wife that didn't expect her husband to return after the war.

Alice wrapped her arms and legs around Zeel like a koala bear.

Zeel had expected many reactions from her: kicking, cursing, biting, slapping, but he had to admit that this was his favorite reaction.

"Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you," Alice said in a bit of a seductive voice.

Zeel had read about this before, so he knew that she was currently deflecting and trying to act cute.

He could guess it was because she did something that messed with the nanites and didn't want him to be overly angry at her.

But the devil would always get his due.

"I've been around, but we'll talk a bit later," Zeel replied as he saw the earlier spectators running toward them in excitement.

Threat assessments indicated that they were harmless but Zeel was never one to let his guard down.

"Nice landing!" The guy named Luther said to Alice.

"I think technically it is called crashing," Alice replied.

"I guess catching a plane is no big deal around here?" Zeel interrupted as his body began to sway, excessive blood loss was still an issue even with an amazing healing factor.
