27 Chapter 27 - A Mess

For now, she decided to wait and watch— they may be weak but they were still mutants and she didn't know what they could do.

She wanted to at least wait for an optimal time before making a move— however, it seemed like her chance wasn't going to come, because as she hide there watching them, one of the males came to a stop and spoke.

"Wait— I smell something."

It was the man that was covered in fur, it seems like he had some sort of mutant ability that allowed him to have an enhanced sense of smell.

His smell was good enough to pick up even her body odor— it made sense since she wasn't currently doing anything to mask her scent.

"What is it?"

Asked the other male of the group as they all came to a stop— their bodies seemingly tensing as they heard the man's words.

They were weak, and they knew it.

Why else would they willingly choose to hide in the sewers away from anyone else if they weren't weak— well that and because they all looked abnormal compared to normal humans.

"I don't know, it smells like a person."

He said as he sniffed around the air trying to pinpoint her location— it was hard due to where she was hiding but her existence had already been exposed.

Hiding any longer would be pointless— now that they knew someone was here they would stay on guard and make it much easier to catch them off, guard.

She decided to reveal herself— at least then she had a chance to catch them off guard by pretending to be a mutant.

Jumping down from the roof she landed somewhat before them— her looks were different than it was before.

She had used the information she had eaten to alter her body to look more abnormal— much like them in an attempt to blend in. Some parts of her face and body were covered in scales, much like a snake's, and her eyes were slit with a slight glow to them.

Her nails were somewhat long like a wolf's— teeth jagged like one too.

She looked more monster-like, which was perfect for a group like the Morlocks that hide because of their looks. Maybe she would gain some sympathy from them.

With that thought in mind, she stepped forward and looked at the group— she recognized none of them, but that was to be expected since she didn't know a lot about the Morlocks and hadn't read too much of the comics beyond the basic newer stuff.

The comics were far to— off hinge— with so much wild and wacky stuff happening that it made no sense or connected to each other in any way or form.

"Who are you?"

Spoke the male with burn marks all over his body as he stepped in front of the group and looked over at her, it seemed he thought himself a leader or protector of some sort.

"I'm just looking for somewhere to hide out for a while."

It was a basic excuse but one that could work quite well if they believed her— and why wouldn't they with how she looked?

However, it seemed her plan had failed— the short girl that looked a lot like a fish had been staring at her all the time when suddenly she jolted back and clinched her head in pain.

This instantly made the group jump into defensive mode and pull away from her— burn face and furry standing to the front of the two and keeping an eye on the girl to see what she was doing.

"What did you do?"

Yelled one of the men at her as she looked at the group confused.

She had actually done nothing— nothing at all.

Even she was confused as to what the hell was happening— she had planned to kill them and eat them but she hadn't done so yet.

So what was this all about?

"I-I tried to look inside of her m-mind."

Stumbled out the fish girl as she struggled to speak the words.

Her hands clenched her head as the other girl stood by her side— trying to aid her. It seemed like whatever happened to her left some backlash that hadn't faded yet.

"It's so-s-so messy."

She stumbled out again as her eyes moved from the ground and locked onto the girl before her— who had been standing there in silence for the time being.

Pondering— observing.

"It's so chaotic, so many voices, so many emotions, so many thoughts. It's not normal— I've never felt anything like it before. It felt like I was drowning."

The more she listened to her the more she came to an understanding of what had happened.

The girl had tried to peer into her mind and was met with the internal connection that her hive mind had with each other. It had to be known that her mind was vast— constantly functioning in order to manage all the hive units she had.

Feeling everything they felt, knowing everything they knew, learning everything they learned, doing everything they did.

It was a lot— she was just made different.

The girl on the other hand wasn't.

So how could she experience, let alone understand, what was going on in her mind? It would hurt her— a lot.

"She's dangerous, r-run."

Was all the girl could mutter out before she passed out from the mental pain she had been in— leaving the others on edge.

They were ready to either flee or fight at any moment.
