My shieldcollapsed. He was going to be much tougher than I had thought. I neededall the power I could get, and more. I thought quickly. My armor wascy...er-organic, and had a feature to copy the DNA of any person Itouched. Without thinking, I touched Tempus and temporarily gained hispower. "Comet!" I called. This was one of Tempus's attacks. It sped upthe speed of the air molecules around the target, increasing the heatlevel to the point where the target would either melt or burn up. Nosuch. I put a wastepaper basket by her bed just in case. By the time I got towards the door I could see the snow was really coming down. It was far too late to try to drive home, the highways would not be plowed for a while so I figured I’d sleep on her couch until morning. It was a good thing I did so as Jenny came out looking for the bathroom and crashed down onto the floor. I helped her up, and while she was in the bathroom I found her pajamas which were still hanging on the indoor clothes line.. " No problem," I said. "I always take it as a compliment to be confusedwith a woman. It happens a lot with my name." That's sweet," she said, looking at me with a funny look on her face,as if she thought I might be laying it on a bit thick. But finally shesaid, "You really mean it, don't you?" I do, and you would too if you had worked some of the jobs I have.Have you ever been a waitress?" Not yet!" she said, laughing. "Have you?" You don't want to," I said, ignoring her tease and heading. I'm curious what that is."So, it was really up to me. She had offered an interesting goal, one that we might end up working towards. But there was still one thing that bothered me. "And any repercussions?"She smiled and rolled her hips on my lap, grinding her pubic bone against my erection. "You don't have to worry about that. I'm protected."When I caught my breath again, I focused on her eyes. "I don't think we're talking about the same thing."She pulled my hands up along her thighs to her.
