Elena showed up just in time to protect her daughter, but much later than she could have helped me defeat Alexander. Although maybe I'm such an idiot myself, since I believed a woman that she would help me kill my husband and save my daughter. It is more profitable for her to come at the moment when I weaken Alexander enough to destroy two at once with one explosion. So she will get rid of the inquisitor and save her daughter and from me, a person whose goals and motives are not clear to her. Hell, I can’t even blame her for this, I would have done the same myself in her place.Alexander, wary of the flames, stepped aside, giving Lily a chance to look around. The girl looked at me with a look of primal horror and panic, her lips trembling, and her face twisted from rolling tears. She wanted to shout something, but instead of this she ran in the other direction, closer to her own mother.Elena, coming out of the alley, hugged her daughter, began to whisper something to her soothingly,

You have touched the heart of the Supreme Witch!Imbued with ether, it wants to contact you!Your consciousness will be transferred.I opened my eyes and froze. My naked body hung in the void, somehow I realized that my legs were hanging in the air and there was no support under them, it appeared. My fingertips rested gently on something hard that I couldn't see, but it made me feel more at ease. I'm already hooked, thanks.There was nothing around me. But what can you expect in total emptiness?Yet again. One had only to think about it, as the emptiness, as if grinning, was filled with pictures. Like a supernova explosion, I was blinded by the brightest light, and then the space around me was covered with a golden glow. It shimmered like cosmic nebulae, branched imitating tree branches, braided like a vine, and all this happened simultaneously before my eyes.The inconstancy and variability of this world amazed me, frightened me and at the same time fascinated me to the depths of my

- That's right, let her become free and live as she wishes, not hiding from anyone. Don't be like me.- I hope it will be so only externally - I could not resist commenting.Elena laughed a ringing laugh without a shadow of sadness and sadness.“Oh, if I had met you earlier and under different circumstances,” she said with a gentle smile, and then added, “Take care of her, Creel!”- I will try.Elena nodded to me, and approaching me kissed gently on the lips, and then dissolved into a soft golden glow. I felt a heaviness in my hand, I stared at the witch's heart with a look of doom, it was still beating, waiting for its moment.Looking at it in front of my eyes, a notification appeared:Heart of the High Witch Elena FarhartDo you wish to absorb its power?Not really…Consuming the heart of the High Witch will strengthen your connection to the aether.Consuming the heart of the High Witch will heal all your wounds.Your physical abilities will increase many times over.Your ethereal s

Eva hugged me tightly, I did not expect such a surge of emotions from her. Embracing the girl in return, I began to look around the room with interest. A long medical bay filled with various equipment and at least five pods lined up side by side. All of them were open except for one more, the most extreme against the wall.On the other side were regular bunks, on one of which Terra was curled up sleeping. She pulled her own fluffy tail closer to her and hid her nose under her paws. It looked very nice.- What actually happened? I asked Eva in a low voice, I didn't want to wake Terra.And really, what actually happened? I thought I was going to die, but here it turns out I managed to escape and even recover. The arms and legs are intact, the bones are pieced together, even the fingers are sewn back in place, and there is no hole in the stomach.- We arrived at the coordinates that Atria gave us, got on the ship, and then took you away.- Who "you"?- When we flew up, a blue flash rushe

In general, I have not yet been able to see the exterior of the ship, but I have climbed the interior up and down. A roomy cargo bay full of crates of gear and supplies we might need on our journey. We tried to take only the most necessary, as Atria stated, but it still turned out to be a lot. Hell, the money isn't mine anyway. Freemius will hopefully appreciate the impoverished treasury of the Regulus government.The first floor was more dedicated to the engineering section. Here was access to the ship's engines and all its systems. Any engineer can easily access them, and a huge number of robots will help with repairs. Heaps of printers, workbenches filled the workshop, next to which there was also a gym. It was also equipped with everything you might need in training. Grace.The second floor, as I said, is residential. There was a dining room, a common shower room for staff, and from these rooms there was a straight wide corridor to the cabins, where, behind the very last door, was

They say: “If I think, then I exist”, but it seems to me that this is not particularly true. The first thing I felt was pain. Penetrating the whole body, forcing the legs to stretch, and the arms to twist in a spasmodic attack. It was as if I was being devoured by the agony of death, trying to convince me that I was still alive. It was as if the old woman herself whispered death in my ear, “As long as you feel, you exist.” And I believed her, not doubting for a second. For how can one believe otherwise when the whole body burns with pain? How can you resist this primordial feeling, which is inherent in all life on our planet?My own stomach became a hotbed of pain. It was as if a red-hot rod had been thrust into it and twisted from side to side, sometimes allowing it to be pulled out and driven back into the wound again. My eyes see nothing, I spin in the dark. Hands and feet do not obey me. I'm scared. Tears run down the cheeks. I would have been ready to scream, to beg for mercy, to

The rapist comes up to me and is already swinging for a blow, as someone's arms are wrapped around his neck from behind. A short crunch of a breaking neck and that's it, it falls to the ground like a bag of potatoes, dropping an iron rod, which rolled back to the feet of the person who saved me.- How are you girl? an excited voice rang out.In front of me stood a short woman dressed in shabby clothes, not the first freshness: torn worn jeans, a darned checkered shirt with some spots and a couple of holes on the stomach, showing pale skin, a sweatshirt with a hood flaunted on top, which was thrown over an old American army jacket . These are usually worn by veterans of Vietnam and other wars who were not lucky enough to be on the street ...Again, memory throws up details that were not in my head. At the same time, not wanting to return all knowledge completely.The woman's face, hidden under the hood, was swarthy and grimy. White greasy short hair was knocked out from under the fabri

not obey, weaved and strove in every possible way to catch on the toes of old worn sneakers on the unevenness of the asphalt. Cars drove by, drivers honking furiously at me, yelling about my parents and my lack of intelligence, but I didn't care. All their swearing was drowned out by the loud beating of their own hearts. Knock-Knock! It counted every second of delay as I rushed to the entrance to the park, where he stood on the podium."Stop, you freak!" Violetta's voice came from behind me.The cars were still honking to me from all sides, for I brazenly stepped straight across the roadway. Fortunately, only a four-lane road separated me from the park, and the flow of cars was not so fast."Get out of the way, you idiot!" someone shouted after me.Finally, my foot rested on the road curb. The body swayed forward, I lost my balance, collapsing on the footpath, where I just heard the beginning of the speech:“I’m glad that we all gathered today, but it’s a pity that on such a sad occas

Epilogue
The noise of the crowd in the bar forced me to break away from my own thoughts, interrupting them like TV static, preventing me from focusing on what had happened in the past.I would like to forget all this altogether, throw it away and move on with my life.But it's hard to do all this, sitting in an old bar, drinking cheap diluted beer while grimacing at the putrid smell of people around, and also watching another reminder on TV ...“It's been a week since that horrific incident when a group of supervillains took over the Superhero Academy, set off explosions all over Yuniopolis, and released the prisoners from Ironville Prison.Here, in time with the voice of the pretty girl of the announcer, frames of devastation began to appear on the screen. Destroyed to the ground houses, formed as if they were made of playing cards. Burning shopping centers, churches, administrations, and, behold, the prison itself in all its glory, in the iron wall of which a huge hole gapes.It turns out th

After all, it will not be possible to get everything and clean it.Mistakes are not allowed.- I'll free you! Now is the time! Marcus snapped out of his seat.He ran up to Rena and grabbed her by the waist and turned her back to him. He pressed something on the device hanging on his belt, and then, with a buzzing sound, began to inject a huge amount of a drug that enhances abilities through the tubes.Rene started screaming in pain again, but this time her agony was stronger. The girl fell to the floor, began to writhe, bend, tear her clothes and scratch her skin.I can't even imagine how she feels right now.“Be patient, dear,” Marcus whispered, stroking her bald head, “It’s okay, you have to do this, remove the pain, endure it and free HER, even if you yourself have to die.”Who is locked up there? What woman is so important to Marcus that he is ready to give people's lives for her? What should I do? To stop him?Not! I've gone too far! You can not stop half way because of your own

My fingers closed around Katherine's throat. I could feel it shrinking, trying to get at least a breath of life-giving air, but I didn't let it happen.All.End.Removing my hand, I looked at the pale face of the girl with her eyes closed. Heavy, greedy sighs escape my lips, as if I had just been strangled, not her. Not enough oxygen, dizzy.I didn't want to end up like this. Did not want.Yielding to a conscientious impulse, I felt the artery on her neck with two fingers - there is a pulse, but weak.Already happy. I was afraid that I would kill her, I would overdo it with force. After all, he could break her cervical vertebrae with gloves, or somehow harm her.Crap…Is it all worth it? Since when am I ready to strangle a person for the sake of some ephemeral piece of information?“Sorry, Kat,” I whisper, looking at her face.Bending down a little, I kiss her on the forehead, and then I get up and walk towards the descent. I feel extremely lousy at this moment. Somewhat overly emotio

Strange feeling.You seem to have experienced remembering, you know that they are in your head, and you can even feel them, but you can’t see them. It's akin to taking an old disc from the shelf, inserting it into the player and it won't play, it's damaged. So do I.- Don't you remember? Marcus was sincerely surprised. “Well, no wonder, she warned about something like that.- Can you continue your story? I ask irritably, feeling my temples begin to squeeze.“Okay,” Marcus replied with a shrug as he walked around Rene.He took a chair, and passing a little closer to me, placing it next to me.“Sit down, I see you are not well,” he said in a voice full of sympathy and concern.His hand rested on my shoulder, forcing me to gently, but at the same time, adamantly sink into the seat.Then, smiling, he stepped aside breaking the distance and showing his empty hands.Why such courtesy?But thanks to this thoughtful gesture on his part, I was able to sit back in my chair and allow myself to r

The elevator doors parted in different directions, revealing the inside of a metal booth, upholstered in wood in the old style of the sixties. Once inside, I turned around to face the closing doors. My gaze slowly lowered to see small streaks of blood trailing from the elevator doors.Looking down, I noticed blood dripping from the gloves mixed with everything else. In the joints between the fingers, where the metal was connected by some kind of elastic lining, someone's long hair was stuck, which I immediately pulled out, throwing it aside.The unpleasant consequences of the death of many people. They always leave a lot of dirt behind. It is even surprising why nature made death so dirty? Is it really only in order to thereby scare away all other predators from the body and let it decompose becoming fertilizer?If so, then humanity has broken this primary cycle. Those students definitely can't become fertilizer for anything. They are cremated, and the ashes will be scattered somewher

“… and that’s how we come to the fact that we need to check you out!” Guys, kill her!What? Who? What is it about? Who to kill? What guys? I got distracted! Crap! Looks like he's inviting trouble...Sighing, I looked at the crowd of zombified students walking towards me. They all walked quite briskly, someone hovered above the ground, a couple climbed the walls and tried to take a position above me. I was surrounded, and if they use their abilities, it will be very bad for me.Without waiting for the attack, I made a short dash forward, jumped up and, pushing off the bench, caught my hands on the metal roof of the canopy that blocked the paths between the buildings of the academy.They immediately grabbed me by the legs and began to pull me down, trying to fight back, I heard how their fingers and hands were breaking. One of them actually had my boot run into his face, breaking his nose, but he didn't even notice. That's just a huge minus.Zombified people do not feel pain, they are r

So the time has come to fight against the mentors who have been sharing their knowledge with me all this short time. I must admit that everything they taught me here came in handy for me very soon. Even unexpectedly, somehow.Just as unexpected as Yolanda's attacks.A beautiful woman in a long dress standing against the wall attacked us with her ability.Stone blocks flew at us. Walls appeared right in front of your nose, and under your feet every now and then small obstacles strove to jump out. I had to dodge very often. So often that I could no longer really keep track of anything else, my gaze was lost in all this flickering of concrete sculptures and deadly structures, and I completely surrendered to the will of instincts.Run a meter forward, and then bounce back to dodge the concrete guillotine that has arisen above your head, roll to the side in the hope of slipping under a multi-ton block.— Watch out! I shout to Katherine.Sliding across the floor, I grab the girl by the legs

It surprised. Why did she decide to release me first? She could help herself first… “Now help me. So helping each other and actually holding hands so that the paper clip does not disappear into the air, we got out of the steel fetters holding us back. - Finally! Katherine whispered wearily, leaning against an iron beam. Her chest heaved up and then down heavily in time with her greedy breaths. After just a couple of minutes, we were out of breath as if we had run a couple of kilometers of cross-country. But we still need to get out of here and face those who kidnapped us. - Get down! Katherine whispered as she jumped at me. She pressed my body to the floor, and she fell down herself, trying to completely hide behind boxes with broken equipment and a bunch of tools from above. At first I did not understand what all this was for, but then I managed to hear quiet steps. Someone was walking in our direction with a confident, neat step. Is it one of our guards? They finally decided to sh

Something too often, being in a new body, I get into some kind of trouble. As soon as we let Katherine into our house, the door of the apartment was knocked out by an explosion, and we were seized. Memory helpfully throws up scattered fragments of a conversation that we had before the attack. Kat, one might say, fell on my head like a Japanese kamikaze on an aircraft carrier. The girl was out of her mind. Dilated pupils looked at me with insatiable hunger and desire, the scarlet skin of her face, frequent heavy sighs, she looked more like an excited drug addict than a harsh and terrible detective. She tried in every possible way to get close to me, and this made her uncomfortable. She pressed me against the wall, breathed into my neck, so at the same time she was also rude. Crap! I can’t say that I don’t like assertive girls who take the initiative in their own hands, but not when everything goes like this. Although it is worth recognizing it turned me on. I have never been a fan of
