Advent of Astral Part 28: Raid

After retirement, He would bring Jaimie out to a secluded cabin in the Alaskan wilderness, where he would live a peaceful life with Jaimie. Anders would have been frozen in the cryotube, Astral wanted to teach Jaimie the ways of the symbiote himself.

Waking up one morning to a loud knock at the door, Astral would answer it. There was a federal agent at the door asking to talk. "Well officer, do you have any warrants for me and my girlfriend, or are you here for other reasons?"

"Sir, I think we both know you aren't who you say you are Astral Anders." the officer handed him a note. "And we both know that Project Star's result is you, so please don't resist, we have this area surrounded. Don't do anything and we won't have to kill your girlfriend." He looks dead into Astral's eyes.

"Astral dear, please shut the door! Don't make me crabby and beat your ass." Jaimie shouted from the living room floor in front of the fireplace.

"Okay, don't worry dear. I'm going to make some loud noises for a little bit. Keep your head down okay?" Astral shut the door and smiled at the officer. "Sorry it had to come to this, you seem like a nice person. His armor kicked up and covered Astral. Who pulled out his Murasama and handgun.

Killing the first officer in the blink of an eye as fifty men swarmed the area. Astral would become back into the gaze of many. Happy he is the one who has drawn the attention and not Jaimie. The men charged in a complete circle around the property. Astral would take them out efficiently, his flow and ebb seeming back into its normal unhuman form.

Any bullets fired at Astral would just bounce off his armor as he would slice and dice the invaders, making sure none of them had a chance to escape. Chucking the empty husks into a pile. Setting it ablaze and making a boom while doing so.

Jaimie popped her head up after a minute. "Wait, what did he mean by loud noises?" Looking out the window she was able to barely see Astral go around killing the federal officers. She was confused at first and then it clicked for her. Astral was different.

He walked inside, his armor fading as he entered and she asked him. "What do you plan to do now that the government has found out that you aren't human? What does that make me and what does it mean for us?"

He looked back at her. "Well, it is simple. Teach you my ways and show you the true power of one's body." He sat down next to her while she gave him a blank stare. "Oh, that's right, you don't know."

Astral would pull out many pieces of paper in a binder and hand it to Jaimie, who would start to read it. "In summary, the US experimented on an asteroid. To make a super soldier army, However it backfired, going wary. Spreading across many different people and affecting hundreds. I was the one to kill the last host before it led to you."

"So you only liked me because I was special with powers?" Jaimie would ask him with tears in her eyes. In her eyes, she never wanted to be special, she just wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life.

He would walk over to her, sit next to her holding her hand. "Jaimie, you would be special even if you never had powers. These powers just make you unique beyond comparison." He smiled, leaning in and hugging her.

"Well then why don't you fuck me more?" she would look into his eyes.

"Ah well, about that, you know my mom right? That nice little asian lady?" he asked her.

"Yes?" she remarked

"Well, she is my monitor and doctor, not my mother. I've spent a lot of personal time with her, to the extent of you before you. My skills however are all me." Astral smiled, "it takes a lot of dedication to reach this spot."

Jaimie looked at him. "I want to learn from you, just so that way I can beat you into submission." The competitive fire burning in her eyes. Showing how she has plans to grow.

Astral smiled. "That's the spirit, but the problem is that I am much more experienced than you, and you have a lot of ground to make up." He stood up and offered a hand to her. She grabbed it and pulled him down. He would roll on the ground, tripping her and pinning her. "Lesson one, learn more techniques so you become versed in combat. Not relying on base instincts."

He got up and would rewrite his schedule for the two of them. He was already fairly knowledgeable on things. Needing to work out a couple of problems. One, meditative times would be the same once in the morning and once at night.

He will bring back Anders to have someone to make them food and do some other prep stuff, run labs and take care of the house. The workouts would be more intense than before. In order to have Jaimie catch up to Astral's level. For him to also gain and develop his skills more.

He would be planning at the table as Jaimie watched him. She would look at what he was drawing. "So what do you do that is special?"

He would ponder on what it truly was for a second before finishing his thoughts. "Well, I have this place special to me. A place I call mine as a pocket dimension. The other thing I call my talent is an ability I call absorption." He would lean back in his chair and look at the design. "When I was younger it provided an advantage adding other's skills to my own, with their physical abilities also being added it make it special to me."

"I have a feeling that you have something similar, or at least two different abilities that are unique to you." He would comment. "For one, it seems like people find you irresistible. Any reason you know?" He questioned with curiosity.

"I seem to have a way with words, it makes anyone do anything for me." She would look at him, "The only person to resist it ever was you." She would try and clarify to him but he would look directly in her eyes.

"That explains so much, I'll watch something later to see if its true to what im thinking." He would hold his hand out as she grabbed it. "But usually there is two for us. Looks like we will have to discover it sometime."

"Sounds like a fun time." She would give him a quick peck on his forehead.

"Do you wanna explore the pocket dimension while I make something?" He asked as she nodded yes vigorously. Opening it up Astral would set himself up as Jaimie would experience the pocket dimension.

As for the workout suits he had designed, Astral made a multiple for the two of them to wear. Creating a suit for her to wear in a similar vein to his. The two would leave the pocket dimension, Jaimie in awe of it as Astral sits at the kitchen table looking at Jaimie. "Rest, tomorrow your real training begins."
