Ch.59

We went, Jessi ended up knocked off the boat and Kyle saved her while I held Amanda who was nearly knocked off as well. Jessi soon moved in with us and I ended up sharing a room with Josh and Kyle which was mostly just Josh and Kyle sharing a room because I spent my nights in Amanda's bed or on my laptop in the garage, trying to get the human trials approved for the nanites. My free time up until graduation was spent listening to Amanda play the piano and occasionally playing with her at her place.

We hung out a lot until after I graduated with honors. I went about getting into UW on a scholarship that came out of nowhere and soon I moved out of the Tragers into a college dorm. Amanda was working on getting a scholarship of her own despite me giving her and her mother a bank account where I put ten college school years worth of college money from Madicorp into it for Amanda.

I split the rest with the Tragers, kids and all including Jessi before leaving me similar funds to Amanda in an account. The rest, which was hundreds of millions, went to charities all over the globe that had nothing to do with Madicorp or Latnok openly. Basically I paid our college funds and a little extra for pain and suffering before giving the rest away. The Tragers agreed that it was for the best considering everything.

Jessi said I should've kept all of it, if only to make our own way and I told her it didn't feel right, but giving it to charity did. I told Stephen and Nicole that after everything they did including interfering in their marriage and putting Jessi under like that making her dangerous while manipulating everything, they deserved compensation and so did everyone they were threatening to ruin by their actions so the money I gave them was theirs. Josh said I would make one scary evil mastermind and I told him evil wasn't what I wanted to be.

Amanda told him to knock it off and said she didn't want me to be evil either. Josh was sour because Andy was out of town, but I'd given Jessi the do's and don't's of living with a family. I told Kyle not to be so obvious when Jessi lies so Lori and Josh didn't exactly get mad at her, though Lori did get upset when Mark canceled on her. I told her it wasn't Jessi's fault because Kyle sort of gave it away that she'd lied to protect her and Stephen figured the rest out.

I apologized to her and held her as only ex lovers in grief and comfort can do. I told her that Mark was a fool or a coward and Stephen was being an irrational father, but if it helped she could come visit me at UW and stay in my single dorm room when she needs to blow off steam and vent, so long as she doesn't expect anything and tries not to walk in on Amanda and I. Needless to say it was a long conversation and when it was over, I left her sleeping.

I walked out of her room and sighed as Stephen was there. I told him to relax because she needed someone to listen and I'm not gonna be here to spill secrets so he could talk as he liked as well. He grimaced and asked what I thought. I shrugged. "Lori's seventeen, nearly eighteen and Mark is nineteen. They're both smart and despite what you think, he just burned her saying he was afraid you'd drop him as a TA and ruin his future so he clearly didn't care enough to risk it."

I shook my head. "Personally, I think he's a fool and not worth her time because while you ruining his future is possible, I know you'd never hurt Lori like that. Still, interfering in her relationships like that is a low blow and something that could hurt your own relationship with her. Rebellious college daughters getting married or knocked up is a serious thing that happens all the time and it starts with their fathers trying to overstep a delicate balance in their relationships so they overcompensate."

He grumbled. "You've been seeing Nicole too much."

I shrugged. "She gives great advice while I read up on her old child psychology papers and statistics. Oddly enough that's the least worrying thing Lori could run off and do once she turns eighteen. Trust me, you don't want to know the others. It starts with staring in videos like you caught Josh watching and gets progressively worse."

He paled and I suggested he speak with Nicole and repair his relationship with Lori as soon as he can before promising to stay out of her relationships while being there at any point if she needed him and reminding her that two of her brothers had psychic powers and one could turn a car into a mini fridge sized cube or liquid slag if her guy friends try anything she doesn't like. He patted my shoulder and I nodded before he asked if I was leaving tonight. I sighed. "Tomorrow after Amanda's closed recital. Carol and I are going to watch her from back stage before Amanda's agreed to help me unpack. I know it's a college tradition for the parents and family to help unpack the dorm room, but I don't really have that much stuff."

He asked about the tools and garage stuff and I shrugged. "The nanite maker is patented and I've disassembled it for now since I have all the first trial medical nanites made. As for the building ones, I've packed them and I'm coding them specially with Adam's help for projects to stress test them so they're packed up. The tools are in the toolbox and the camper shell is at Declan's place. He offered to lodge it next to his own for now since he needed the room as well for his sports stuff."

Stephen sighed. "It feels like only just yesterday that we were taking you in."

I bit my own lip and smiled. "If it helps, I have something to show you if you'll let me?"

He nodded and I touched his face, connecting our minds and showing him all the PG good times I've had in the house with all of them. The little moments in between that made me smile and the happiness I felt for being accepted. Nicole asked what I was doing and I touched her face as well, showing them both every good moment especially the quiet ones with the simple comforts of home and family. I let them go and they both smiled while I sighed. "You all have given me so much and mean more to me than words can express. I want you to know that even though I'll be in college, my home is still here and always will be."

They gave me a hug and Stephen said I was welcome back any time and that I'd best come back for holidays, birthdays, weekends and any other excuses I could find or they'd come find me. I smiled wryly and Nicole told him to stop it and for me to come back when I can, but to live my life as happily as I can and experience everything college has to offer. I went to hold Amanda and the next day I watched her recital with Carol.

I congratulated her when she got the spot to try for the scholarship. I told her that I hoped she got it, but even if she didn't I'd see her in college next year. We went to my dorm with me and I moved in, breaking the bed in together until the Tragers and Declan came in. Yeah, it wasn't the best timing, but we dealt with it and Stephen corralled them away from us.

Once we were dressed, I let them in and Amanda took my truck keys, kissing me and saying she'd come back tonight with my guitar. Josh made a comment I ignored and said I was missing out on all the hot college girls. I shrugged and told him. "None of them are her."

I sat on my desk chair and asked what brought them. Nicole gave me a bonsai tree saying I wasn't really a fern type of person. I thanked her and told her it was perfect. Kyle handed me my laptop saying he'd finished learning everything I'd put on it and so had Jessi on her own. I smiled and handed them a memory stick apiece. "I made those last night. They're everything I've tried to do, what I did and how I succeeded or failed with our abilities. Just promise me you'll go slow. The stronger we get, the more dangerous our abilities can become for us and others. One wrong move could cripple or kill someone easily."

They nodded and took them happily, especially Jessi who was eager to learn new things. I stopped her and said seriously. "That includes yourself. If you push too hard one some of them you could stroke out or outright die. I spent weeks learning some of them just to the basic levels because they're that dangerous to use."

She nodded saying she'd be careful so I turned to Lori who handed me a mixed CD of hers. I thanked her and set it on my laptop saying I'd listen to it while I work. Josh said he had nothing for me except he'd passed me an extra large pack of condoms. I pocketed them in my jacket and told him it was cool, because I didn't have anything for him either. I'd passed him a memory stick telling him telepathically to have Kyle show him how to use it.

It was an all access key password encryption program that gave him full membership access to every porn website currently in existence. I took them to the cafeteria and bought us lunch before telling them I'd be home on the weekends sometimes to do laundry and hang out or catch a game. They all said it sounded good before giving me hugs. I stopped with Kyle and told him to be careful because I wasn't around a lot so Latnok may interfere despite my final warning.

I turned to Jessi as well and she nodded, saying she'd look after him. I told her she knew the cost of being a killer like me, but I hoped she'd never have to do it again because with our minds there was always a way out. She gave me a hug and I told her telepathically that she needed to take charge when it comes to Kyle because he's as innocent all over as she is at heart. I wished her luck and left it at that while she thanked me.

I smiled wryly and said my goodbyes before deciding to head to the study hall and read through the library next door. Amanda pulled me away and actually stayed the night. I devoured her sexually and made love to her at times while her smile devoured my soul. She could never tell me no in bed and I'd deny her nothing, which made our combined passion burn so bright Seattle would be a smoking crater if it physically manifested.

The next morning Mark showed me around since I knew him once I took Amanda home. She had her car and knew my door was always open to her night or day, with or without a phone call. She had my class schedule so she'd know when I was free, no secrets or lies. Weeks passed as we went back and forth to her place and mine when I wasn't spending weekends in her bed.

Carol took issue when she learned we were having 'The Sex' as she put it. Still, she didn't do more than tell Amanda she could join other colleges like an all female boarding school. As for our sex life, Amanda and I hadn't slowed down, though she certainly got creative when she started bringing Ashleigh over since it was summer time for them. I modified my bed into a full king size and my room soon had a lot more stuff in it, mostly computers and monitors, books and college stuff, but there was a drawer full of condoms both flavored and ribbed.

I'd gotten my tongue and cock pierced and they absolutely loved it. Meanwhile the medical nanite human trials were successful in the hospital all the way up to terminal cancer patients. Declan hang with me for a few games when he got the scholarship to UW. He scoped babes and borrowed my room a few times, calling me a saint when he found the condom drawer with sex toys in there as well.

I'd been making things, mostly advanced medical stuff, but I was thinking up other stuff and making notes as I went. Declan ended up inviting me out for a night with the boys as he put it one evening. He, Kyle, Josh and I ended up at a bar that didn't card and got pretty drunk. I called it when Kyle began doing tricks to impress a girl at the bar by herself.

We found my truck had been towed so we got it back. When the douche bag at the impound lot tried to screw with us, I purged my liver on him, all over him in fact. There was no food, just a lot of alcohol and stomach acid. He was soaking from head to toe when I apologized to him before saying I felt a lot better.

His dogs had been scared away and he was pissed, but only because Kyle did it on him right afterwards and it was extra chunky, food included. He smelled like a bar bathroom minus the smell of piss. He said we needed to leave so I touched Declan and did the same to him, making him purge as well, all over the asshole, mouth open and everything. He told us to just take the truck and leave when Josh said he might be sick.

I didn't feel sorry for the guy at all as Josh drove us away. Josh said we got a flat ten minutes later and I told him to stop for a minute. He asked if we should get out and I shook my head, tapping the dashboard. The tire re-inflated and I turned the dash computer off. "We're good, let's go."

He asked what that was and I smirked. "Auto repair nanites. They're programmed to activate by remote command from the dash computer and repair any damage to the truck as needed. No more car trouble, ever."

Josh said that it was amazing and Declan asked how the medical nanite trials were going. I asked why and he told us the issue in his ankle. I told him he'd drink a few cups of milk when we get to the house with some orange juice so I could use that to repair his ankle bone. I told him the milk would provide calcium and he lost interest, so I told him I'd fix him up for good once we get home.

He thanked me and said he should've mentioned it before now. I shrugged asking if he was in pain. He said a little so I took his hand and closed my eyes, numbing his pain before telling him it would last until we get to the house. He thanked me again and I thanked him for the night out.

I told him I'd brush up and head next door to visit Amanda in her own bed for once as a surprise. A week after I repaired Declan's ankle bone, I got a vivid image of a car accident so I forwarded the information loud and clear to Jessi who was with Stephen and Lori. I left class and told the professor my mother just got into a car accident so I'd be out tomorrow and for the rest of the week. He understood and asked where the hospital was.

I told him it was United Washington General hospital. Amanda met me there and we beat the others before listened to the doctors with Stephen. When I heard her condition, I paled and told the doctor my thanks before telling Stephen it basically meant her condition was declining and their science wasn't advanced enough so they were just making her comfortable and hoping for a miracle as well before it kills her. I told him it would take days before I could make enough nanites now that the machine was taken apart.

We went out to the others and I learned Adam Baylin was dead because he'd tried something that was too much for him and it killed him so Foss had stopped by saying he was taking Adam and Andromeda over seas to protect them and keep them from Latnok like I'd requested. I nearly punched a wall until Jessi mentioned the serum Zzyzx had us in. I stilled before telling them. "I have to go, I think I might have something, but with her condition it might not be enough."

Stephen asked what and I told him. "Back when we returned from Adam being shot I made a case of pills which were distilled versions of the recovery liquid I put Adam in. I'd feared that Latnok would come for you all so I'd made an emergency case. Unfortunately they aren't as strong as a full liquid tank and only one of them can be used per week or it risks overtaxing the body and causing seizures, but one might be enough to stabilize her out of critical condition. I just don't know how well they fared time wise."

Amanda and Josh said they'd come with me and we returned twenty minutes later. I slipped in and gave Nicole a pill and while her condition drastically improved, bringing her from danger, she remained in a coma. I told the others it was my best shot so Kyle came back with the serum minutes later. I looked at him wearily and he said he'd made a deal with Latnok for it.

He gave it to her and Nicole came out of it almost instantly. I took the remaining dose in the vial and told Kyle to tell me everything. In the end he'd promised that hostilities between ourselves and Latnok would end and he'd join them. He said Cassidy seemed sure I'd join them if he did if not right away then as soon as I see they aren't my enemies.

He told me about the money issues a week later and I went with him to the Latnok facility on campus. When one of the guys, Nate, asked about my girlfriend, I told him he'd stay away from her if he knew what was good for him. He went to get up in my face and Cassidy stopped him, telling him that was one fight he wouldn't survive. I told Cassidy I was only here to win money for Nicole's hospital bills and to make sure they didn't try anything to hurt Kyle.

He said that was fair enough until Nate broke the motherboard for the hoverboard Kyle and I were building for a competition. I clenched my fists and when the asshole said bye-bye, I lost it. I beat him half to death in front of the entire group, breaking half of his ribs, fucking his jaw up and leaving his face like bloody mashed potatoes. Kyle pulled me off of him and told me to let it go or I'd kill him.

I nearly attacked Kyle as well before coming out of my blind rage. I shrugged him off and told Nate that if he ever came near my brother or anyone I cared about again, he'd wish I'd finished beating him to death here. He coughed up bloody teeth and cried while Cassidy apologized to me. Kyle told him I hated being here because I felt like I was backed into a corner and now this.

He told Cassidy that this wasn't the way to earn our trust and get me to stop seeing Latnok as an enemy after so long. Cassidy said he'd handle it and talk to Nate after he's fixed up. Kyle tossed him a pill and told him what it was, my first invention, the healing serum pills. He told him that we were even and done if this was how we were going to be welcomed because I had no tolerance for any more attacks on us.

I paced until Kyle grabbed his laptop and agreed to leave with me. We worked in my dorm where I felt like I could breathe again. He helped me calm down and I apologized to him only he said it was fine because I was more in tune with my instincts and he understood the feeling that drove me to it. Like I was under constant threat and every move they made was a strategic one meant to attack us.

We ended up back home and working as a family to win the competition. I modified everything as we went and fired up the forge to purify the magnets. I spent hours purifying them until they were pure enough, only there wasn't enough raw materials in the end. Kyle wrecked the board and I cursed, saying it wasn't enough. "I can get the magnets pure enough, but their density and amount after the refining process isn't enough for a hover board of any decent quality. We need industrial magnets and they're too expensive. We might as well cash in all our college funds to get the money."

Kyle said he could get the magnets, but Nicole said no. Hour later we had industrial magnets curtesy of Jessi who spent the checks she'd been getting from Sarah. After a test run, I refined the magnets well passed industrial strength and into a far higher grade. When I finished, I smirked and modified the board so much further beyond what Jessi and Kyle were used to.

I added a silicone crystal based solution by frying the microwave for the materials needed and when I finished, I told Kyle to try it again. Jessi looked over the data and I told Kyle how to control it for movement as well as height and speed. With a bit of practice, he flew over the house and back on it once I made sure he was snowboard strapped in. When he landed he said we'd definitely won so we headed to the competition the next morning and he showed off after the others from Latnok helped us put the board together after some overnight modifications on my part.

Mark had been one of the three members to do so which made things easier on him I guess where Lori was concerned. We won the competition hands down and I was the one on the aboard now. I did tricks and when I landed, I glared at Nate who'd been the competitor I was against.

He grabbed his crap futuristic board and left with it sparking. I unstrapped and asked who wanted to try it out. I told them I'd figured out how to compensate for the heating of the magnets of a permanent bases so the same tech could hover a car and with some modifications, it could in theory make bullet trains far faster while eliminating the G's they pull and any friction. Jackie tried it out and I explained the controls until she was flying around the room pretty fast like a pro.

She landed it saying she'd been a bit of a skateboard enthusiast but this was far better. Jessi was next, then Kyle, Josh and finally Declan who'd come. Amanda had passed, but the Latnok student Chad had given it a try. Kyle gave the check to Stephen and Nicole while I discussed the upgrades with Jessi, Chad and Mark while I held Amanda in my arms.

I was smiling until I saw Cassidy smiling with us. I nodded to him and spoke to him telepathically, saying I was interested. He nodded and I turned to Mark who asked how I'd modify it further now to improve the balance issue. I told him I'd add a gyro harmonic stabilizer that would round out the magnets like magnets, but increase their output and capabilities while providing a more stable balancing equilibrium for the rider so it would only move or adjust as needed.

We discussed more in depth on the upgrades before Jackie mentioned how Kyle helped her tomatoes. I asked what she'd changed and he'd changed before telling her how to eliminate the diseases and make it immune to such things while adjusting it's capabilities and lower the necessary water needed to help it grow healthy. I told her when I finished narrating that it should give the ability to grow them in any environment be it the Arctic or the desert.

I went on to describe the modifications necessary for the plants to speed up their growth by a factor of hours instead of days. Jackie was so intrigued and started taking notes. Chad asked how I was able to do that and I told him I had perfect memory recall with a photographic, holographic and eidetic memory. I told him I took a couple hours to memorize the internet and a day to read through the entire high school and college library.

They were stunned and I shrugged saying as I was speaking to them I was visualizing the changes, predicting the outcomes and adjusting the modifications all while enjoying a memory of waking up with my girlfriend in my arms, the way the sun kissed her hair and the smile she had as I slowly roused her from a sweet dream. Amanda blushed and I kissed her neck before sighing and telling Jackie to let me know if she needed anymore help or if she wanted to try a different plant because some varied from the changes necessary for genetic modifications like that.

She thanked me and said she'd try it all out. Mark said he was working on a 3-D program meant for holographic analysis and biology interface. Amanda asked what that meant and I told her with a smile. "It's basically a mind to machine virtual programming to connect a mind to a machine like my wavelength differential virtual reality program."

Mark said it was all good clean science and nothing remotely bad. I just shrugged and told him I'd have to see his project and what he had because I wasn't about to talk a lot of code in front of my girlfriend and leave her entirely lost in the conversation. He said that was fair and I told him he knew where my dorm room was so long as he knocked. I told him my computers were self built and more heavily encrypted than anything else on earth and I should know because I'd hacked or cracked every other firewall there was.

He said he'd stop by with it tomorrow. Chad finished talking to Kyle about his own project so I released Amanda enough so she and I were only holding hands. We said our goodbyes and Josh said he wanted me to add that to his car. I told him he'd be lucky to get an upgraded hoverboard because I didn't have the tens of thousands of dollars to get the magnets necessary and making them from gravel or old car speakers would take months straight of raw refining to make enough for one car. Kyle told them where the industrial magnets came from and while he and Jessi could make the modifications I'd done now that they'd seen it, understanding the math behind it was difficult since there was no bases.

I grunted and told him about base eight math, base nine all the way to base twelve math that was behind the hoverboard modifications. I told them I'd give them a hard drive because memory sticks didn't hold enough. I drove Amanda to work and went to my classes, participating in a lot of Latnok stuff, though mostly just doing my own projects using their resources.

Within a week I'd helped solve world hunger, reinvented a disease all cure immunity booster, cured all forms of poisons, reinvented quake stabilizers for both land and sea, reinvented air purifier towers, reinvented water purifier and desalination pumps on a massive scale and reinvented the trash to fertilizer super liquid. All the while I'd completed a hundred and fifty-seven cash prize science competitions that ranged from a hundred bucks to a hundred grand and did my school work. To say I'd impressed Latnok would be an understatement since I'd inspired everyone there except Nate who royally hated me despite being healed.

Jessi came with Kyle to Latnok and wanted in so Cassidy decided she and Kyle could work together on an assignment for the party. Jessi asked what my assignment was since she and Kyle were doing them and Cassidy told her that I was special in that I was too busy winning competitions, inventing stuff to solve world problems and pretty much impressing everyone all on my own. I gave them a blank look and told Cassidy I was bored so I was heading out. He nodded and told me to give his best to my girlfriend from all those in the stuffy lab.

Since I retained patent rights to all my projects, Latnok knew I was holding back so he was acting gingerly to me. Still, I didn't care and instead went to help solve Josh's problem. Andy was moving away so I gave them both wrist watches.

When they looked at me like I was stupid, I told them. "They're hard light hologram devices. They'll take an image of both of you and give it to the other in full size, solid and fully capable of transferring the sensations, tastes and smells to each other. It's not perfect, but it only has to last two years. Then you'll both be in college and fully capable of joining any college the other is at. Think of it like a long distance foreplay until the climax of both you meeting each other in college. Just try not to make messes all over the place and remember where the volume is so neither of you end up pissing off your parents."

They thanked me and I stopped as I was about to leave. "Oh, and try to remember your surroundings. The last thing either of you need is to crash a car or something because you're not careful."

They both saluted me and I shook my head before heading downstairs. Stephen said it was nice and Nicole spoke up. "Especially considering we half expected some sort of teleportation device after how famous you've become in the academic circles."

I frowned and she said Stephen told her about all the competitions I'd won. I nodded. "Oh, well I've been thinking about starting my own company and putting all my patents to use now that I've had a chance to finish a few of my ideas. Though teleportation isn't one of them yet. I haven't had the time to build matter to matter subspace streaming transportation devices."

Nicole looked at me weirdly and I spoke again. "Teleporters."

She nodded before going wide eyed. "You mean you could-"

I nodded. "The high physics math is solid and supports the possibility, but manipulating matter on that level requires extremely fine tuned devices and I'd have to have Adam help me since it's easier and quicker to streamline it with builder nanites. I just haven't had time to look into it further."

I tilted my head as the math ran through my head and I adjusted it to this world's lack of magic or open ki. When I shook my head Nicole asked if I'd just done it all in my head. I told her not all of it, but enough to begin building and testing. I stopped myself and sighed. "Actually I wanted to talk to you about another project Nicole. I intend to make a psychological study program for a headset similar to the one Stephen used to talk to his father only it'll be for anyone with problems and meant to help therapists connect to the patient's mind where they can help them on a level never before heard of."

I tapped my finger on the counter and told her all about it including the virtual programming necessary to protect the therapist from less friendly minds to help the truly sick individuals. I told her I'd originally thought it up while thinking of ways to cure PTSD in soldiers, accident and rape victims as blunt as it was. She went from mom mode to clinical therapist and talked about all of it including what she thought was best needed to help the therapists break through with the patients. I thanked her and told her I intended to make a virtual online gaming system similar to it so it wasn't all science and stuff at the company and was wondering if Stephen was interested in running the company in my stead.

I told him I had nearly five million in start up funds, but I wanted to keep the company privately owned while helping reach all corners of the earth to help as many people as possible. He asked why privately owned and I told him I didn't want the company to ever change. I told him I had a hundred potential employees and the money from all the music lyrics with sheet music that I sold to record companies had paid off to start with for now. I told him the rest was from competitions I'd won so it was all legitimately mine.

He said he didn't know about it and I sighed. "None of the individuals I have lined up are in any way connected to Latnok and I trust each of them. Trust me, when you've walked through someone's mind from infancy to current times you know what kind of person they have. They all know about me and have sworn to keep my secrets in exchange for help making their own mind palaces."

They were shocked and I smiled wryly. "Trust me, it wasn't a decision I take lightly. I just don't trust Latnok so I'm using them like they're using me. I use their resources to complete and patent projects while they use my fame to motivate and attract new members. For now it's working but soon I want out and I want a way to help the world while remaining independent of them. Whatever their reasons and motivations, I don't trust them to go away quietly so I'm trying to make it as hard as possible for them to come after us."

Stephen asked about his teaching career and I grunted. "Mark is Latnok, so are a lot of academic students and teachers. They all have tattoos of the logo or wear rings if they're apart of the inner circle. Just being a teacher makes you a pretty large easy target for them and they've already proven they won't bulk at killing or blackmail. If nothing else they could hold you all hostage to force us to go along with their plans, whatever they are."

He winced and I nodded before he agreed it was probably best he get out of there. Still, he didn't like the idea of Kyle, Jessi and I hanging out in their place. I gave him a hard drive. "That's all the projects and technologies I either have or need the patents for with detailed files and everything. I can't promise it'll be immediate, but soon we won't be near Latnok if I have my way."

I took a deep breath and sighed. "Cassidy tried to murder Sarah only Foss saved her when I heard her distress so she's healing and in hiding. As soon as she's better I intend to give them all I took from Madicorp and what I've been secretly gathering from Cassidy's mind and all the little worker bees as it were. Hopefully with their anonymity and the lingering threat of exposure Latnok will back off and leave us the hell alone for good. Still, if they don't a world famous company with billion dollar patents that could change the world protecting us would go a long way to getting them away from us."

Stephen agreed and I told him the bank account with the funds is on the hard drive so I'll trust his judgement since he has a business degree and social skills I lack so it's up to him how to build the company. I gave him a small black book with all the people that bought the limos in them. I told him of the large scale solar reactor designs and the battery designs that go with it so the whole world could switch over to unlimited clean energy. He said there was definitely a lot to work with and with the prototypes I had piled up in the garage, my rapidly growing reputation and the start up funds, there was plenty he could do to get it started, especially if the people I told them about were as trustworthy and honest as I say.

I left them both there to spend the day with Amanda at the Rack only I bumped into Nate there trying to flirt with Amanda. He saw me and paled before acting casual and normal. I casually walked over to him and Amanda gave me a kiss while I warned her against him telepathically. When we eventually broke apart, I heard Nate tell me I wouldn't make a scene and seem like the jealous boyfriend in front of a girl like Amanda.

I promptly bounced his head off the counter and threw him towards the door. He stumbled and fell before getting back up. I told him coldly. "Stalking me at school is one thing, but stalking my girlfriend at her work is a whole other level. Come near her again and I'll file a restraining order and be happy Washington allows concealed carry permits. I'm fairly certain a guy who assaults people at school and follows them to their girlfriend's work wouldn't be missed if he turns violent."

Nate got up angry before leaving with his minor concussion. As for Amanda, she just hugged me and said he'd been acting so normal. I nodded. "That's why I was so worried. He destroyed the first prototype of the hoverboard knowing why Kyle and I were working on it and when Mark said your name he shows up here looking for you. He'd nearly got into a fight with Kyle and did get into one with me. He's a snake."

I shook my head. "Whatever his issues he's clearly not intending to make nice."

She sighed and went back to work while I bought her a fifty dollar winning soda again and had some coffee before her shift ended. A couple days later she and I ended up in the party at Latnok wearing crystals. Hers was a light red while mine was a deeper red that glowed more. She blushed saying we matched and I made out with her mostly after introducing her to everyone. When she said she wanted to see my work station, I showed her it off to the side away from Nate's.

I set her on the desk and she asked what I was doing. I smiled and said I had work to do to fine tune some things. I stepped between her legs as her dress rode up and made out with her. I tweaked her nipples, massaged her breasts and rubbed her into a frenzy while kissing her with a deep passion that had us both clinging together.

Jackie came over to ask something and stopped seeing us, suggesting we should get a room. I shrugged and took Amanda to the one place no one would be at the moment, Cassidy's office. There we were about to have sex on Cassidy's desk when Kyle snuck in. He interrupted us and said he was looking into Cassidy so I told him the code to the safe and how to break in. He found disks and a couple files on us as our Zzyzx labels. He went through it all and I didn't comment until I told him Cassidy was coming.

Amanda and I continued making out and getting heavy while Kyle slipped out of the room. Seconds later Cassidy came in and I growled while shirtless. "God damnit, can't you people knock?"

Cassidy looked as us in our nearly undressed state and stopped. "Oh. Well I'd apologize except this is my office."

I huffed. "Your point is? It's the only room not being used nearby and considering I can hear across campus that should tell you something."

He looked complicated before looking around and turning off the lights saying. "I see your point, carry on."

I growled and grabbed my shirt as Amanda said there was no need because the mood was ruined. I twitched a finger and turned on the light before we dressed fully and left Cassidy there stunned more. Amanda asked about my dorm and I grunted saying it was across campus and I hadn't invented teleporters yet. Cassidy asked as we were about to leave. "Is that your next big discovery? Teleportation?"

I shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

He said he'd like to see me working with Mark and Chad on it so I agreed before leaving. We headed back to my place after one last round where Nate got drunk and tried to kiss her. Amanda broke his left arm in two places gave him two black eyes and a broken nose. I wasn't so generous anymore and Kyle was out of healing pills so Nate had to go to the hospital drunk and in a rage.

I glared at everyone, daring them to say anything. Amanda could handle herself and she'd proven it by taking out a guy three times her size and even knocking him out to boot. We left after that and I told her how hot she looked going all self defense like so I didn't have to. She told me those private lessons were really paying off and I had to agree.

Of course then I took her to bed and made her helpless against my wily ways. The next day a whole mess started and didn't end until Cassidy was wanted for the murder Jessi committed right after she'd gotten free of a drunk would be rapist hunter. The clone serum Latnok was preparing was shut down and all records were destroyed while the company Stephen started up, World Inc, was making huge headway. Soon the first protoypes, serums, pills, everything, was mass produced and perfected barring the nanites which would take years.

I'd taken Latnok for all they had tech wise when I left the school facility while Cassidy was on the run, Nate was with him for covering up the assault on Sarah which went public and the school part of it was shut down while those like Mark that hadn't been knowing contributors were brought into another research think tank funded by World Inc at the school. I'd gotten enough proof from Cassidy to have all the members of Latnok brought up on murder charges and illegal human experimentation. Sarah and Foss used it all to blackmail them into leaving us alone and staying out of our lives which worked.

It was hard going for about a year while the company found it's feet, but after that things were good both at home and at school as Lori, Declan, Hillary, Amanda, Jessi and Kyle joined me in college. Amanda and Jessi shared a dorm so that meant Amanda basically lived with me in my dorm room. Mark and Lori became a big thing as they worked out their issues and Jackie was with Declan so Hillary tried her hand at college studs as she put it, only to come back to my bed when none of them seemed to satisfy her like I did. That lasted for another year as I got seventeen PHDs and earned millions in competition funds.

World Inc was doing big things and had gone global, solving global warming, the energy crisis, world hunger and thirst, several weather issues and so much more including pollution. It became bigger than Madicorp ever was and competed directly in all fields they did but with three super brains behind World Inc and a hundred geniuses. Josh and Andy joined us in college and Amanda went on to become a music prodigy with a piano. She and I went back and forth all over the globe with the new teleporters to compete.

She'd rediscovered her passion fully while playing for me when I worked. We were fine with working to maintain a relationship and Ashleigh joined us in college after having a son a couple years ago that she'd refused to tell her parents whom it belonged to. They were rich and snobby, but they weren't about to let their grandchild be raised by an adoption agency or foster home so they'd cared for it themselves with a maid and wet nurse. As for Ashleigh, she'd been kicked out, but I'd given her the apartment Jessi had maintained and a car alongside enough money so that she could live comfortably.

She'd put herself through the rest of high school and come to college where like Amanda and Hillary, she very rarely left my bed to sleep in her own. Unlike Hillary however, she didn't ruin things by sleeping with a professor and getting caught. The ethics board had fired the Professor and kicked Hillary out so she ended up finishing college online and becoming a sports reporter. Declan went pro with basketball and joined the Lakers the next year while Amanda and I married and while I stayed in school, she became a world famous concert pianist both solo and with a full concert.

She knew about my son being raised by Ashleigh's parents and I'd kept an eye on him with Adam and Andromeda whom now had physical forms as well as digital minds. They'd been so happy that I'd spent years working with Adam to build better nanites and make Brainiac level bodies for them. Andromeda and Adam had to be careful with their strength and abilities, but they'd both hugged me and Amanda, calling us dad and mom. Unfortunately it wasn't all perfect because Latnok had tried other tricks to get us into the fold and ended up exposed.

We'd had to destroy proof of being their test subjects and with some minor surgery thanks to Andromeda, Jessi, Kyle and I all had belly buttons. Proof of Renfield and Adam Baylin's existence was all erased including pictures so Latnok had no leg to stand on while they were rounded up, hunted down and arrested. Everyone remotely connected to them and their illegal human experiments or murders was taken down with them. The rings that Kyle, Jessi and I wore were the last remnants of the corrupted organization.

I was an inventor and well known scientist with hundreds of PHDs, Doctorates and Masters degrees in all manors of subjects by my tenth year of college. I'd stayed and become a professional student until I joined Kyle, Jessi and Josh of all people in World Inc. Stephen and Nicole retired when I took over the company and Amanda gave birth to my second son, though our second oldest after our daughter.

She became a composer and taught at a music school for free so kids from all over could learn to love and enjoy music. Josh and the others got to see the first spaceship circle the solar system and return to earth with tons of data on all the planets and asteroids in it. An off world power station was put on Mercury manned by Adam bots as they stored and supplied all the world's energy requirements in advanced solar batteries.

Inter planetary teleportation devices were made for the transport of it all as half of mercury had become a solar farm. In the meantime Jessi and Kyle finally married, Mark and Lori had four kids and Andy and Josh had seven. Yup, they'd been very busy. Though I'm not one to talk much since Ashley had four more kids and lived with Amanda and I full time as both a stay at home provider for our children and our personal sex kitten as Amanda calls her.

Her parents had learned I'd been the only guy she'd ever been with after the second child she'd had. As for baby Gregory, he'd joined us as the oldest of my children and a prodigy as well. Unlike myself he hadn't had to gestate for sixteen years so the first nine months had been enough for his brain to naturally be pretty powerful. Though he was only at half as much as myself, Kyle and Jessi to start out with.

Still, he had the heart of an angel and wanted to learn all of what he could do. On the business side, I'd developed a process to extend the human lifespan by five hundred years give or take while maintaining mental acuity. Health nanites that Andromeda controlled did the process on those willing to have it done. It was offered to those who could afford it first for the first five years from then.

I didn't much care as we worked to colonize space and found a handful of suitable planets to do so. One of which had a reptile species on it that was akin to dragons only venomous instead of fire breathing. We colonized all except the dragon planet and unfortunately it was to far even for our most powerful teleporters so Kyle, Jessi and I had put our heads together and made stabilized subspace wormhole devices. Ships delivered the devices after the terraforming ships had finished growing the planets into hospitable environments.

Humanity spread it's wings after the cities and towns were built. Billions left, one billion to a planet since earth's natural resources were nearing depletion. Only religious nuts and the animals remained after the big move since I'd worked to revive all the species that died out in humanity's time on earth. Solar facilities were built in each star system and a world was set for violent life sentenced criminals.

Over the decades our ships advanced and our technologies with them. Wars broke out in places between the rich and the poor, countries were changed and new laws were written as the monetary system was abolished. A new system based on advancing humanity peacefully was made and it had it's kinks, but those that stepped up were honored and the class systems changed with them.

Greedy lazy assholes with no skills were left at the bottom and told to learn and help or stay there. World Inc had changed with it by the second century after the great movement. I left the one hundred immortal's children in charge, taking Kyle, Jessi, Amanda, Carol, Declan and pretty much everyone I cared about or they did into the painted world. In one day the title of best and brightest was given to our children whom were more than ready.

A clone of myself went out and I transferred my soul that wasn't me to it before it died.
