The hivemind is conquering for me?

”Is this about Hailey? She called me last night after your date. Very sweet of you to set up a picnic.” Kathrine said, catching me off guard. I took her hand and stroked it affectionately.

”I know you wanted to check out anyone I date that is human, so I thought I should let you know... Sorry you had to learn from her, you should have been told right away, but the timing has been off recently.”

Kathrine giggled. ”Oh it’s fine darling, I have known about Hailey’s feelings about you for ages, I just forgot to tell you when I became yours. Simple mistake. Hailey is very inexperienced though, so go slow, be safe and do not use her throat like you do mine. She will die. Was there anything else you wanted to tell me darling?”

I opened my mouth to both tell her I wasn’t planning on going fast and tell her my other news, but. ” I do have some other news to share Kat, but I think someone has just sat on me. I’ll see you later, ok? I love you very much.”

Kathrine then kissed me. ”And I love you as well Apollo. Till later and thank you for helping my fixation darling~”

...

Opening my eyes, my thought was accurate, Valerica sat atop me, smiling as she looked down at me. ”Hello sleepyhead. Why have you chosen to nap here? You looked absolutely adorable and needed a closer look.”

”And a closer look was mounted atop me? Be grateful I was talking to Kat and not actually sleeping, you would have turned into a sexy teddy bear.” I said smiling, prompting Valerica to swat my chest.

”Hey! No flirting with mommy first thing after waking up, but thank you for saying I am sexy, hehe. Oh, I suppose I should ask. How is Kitten? What did you talk about?”

”Talk? We didn’t talk much, Kat’s fixation was acting up and we only had-”

”Ah, good. Glad you two are able to continue the romance despite the distance, I am sure that helps tremendously with the longing... Speaking of... How can I get this special connection the two of you have? I know it’s not Kittens doing, she still has no Psionic potential, just the potential for the family technique to take in Psionics to strengthen the body... So how do I get it? Because how am I going to cope with you leaving the next time and I can’t get cuddles and spars whenever I want? It’s not fair, momma wants special sleepy time too!”

Looking up at Valerica straddling me, looking attractive as always, I decided not to bring up constant sexual depravity with my seed constantly filling Kathrine to the point that I accidentally enslaved her... I instead changed the subject.

”So, how long until the other one gets here? I won’t lie, I am not looking forward to this, that woman does not like me.”

Valerica looked down at her son and frowned. ’Why won’t he tell me?’ She decided to ignore this little rebellious attitude and punish him later until the truth came out, for now though she stood up and helped him up.

”Oh nonsense dear. I am sure Tamara likes you a great deal. She is probably just one of those girls that don’t understand her own emotions. Trust me, by the end of all this training, I am sure the two of you will be inseparable.”

I smiled at Valerica’s optimism, but I had a feeling that was not going to be the case.

...

Five minutes later Valerica and I had already made our way over to the centre of the field when a group began making their way over to us. Well group wasn’t the correct word in this context as it was that Sigfried guy and his harem.

Apart from the guy the only two I could remember was naturally Tamara and also Francesca, the latter being the friendlier one of the group. The other two looked similar, making me suspect they were sisters and both had green hair like Sigfried.

Tamara was, of course, throwing me a dirty look as she walked, clinging onto Sigfried’s arm. However, Francesca did something unexpected. She went from holding Sigfried’s hand and ran ahead from the rest of the group and up to me.

She then tucked a strand of her blond hair behind her ear and said. ”Hey, Apollo. Miss Valerica. Are you excited for your special training? I can’t wait for it to be my turn!”

I smiled at the woman and nodded my head. ”I am. Though knowing Valerica, it’s going to be grueling. I can tell by the smile she attempted to hide when I asked what we were doing today.”

Valerica coughed to feign ignorance before deflecting to the group that had now come into ear shot. ”Speaking of today’s session, what are the rest of you doing here? Today is just supposed to be for Tamara and Apollo. You all have your designated days.”

Sigfried then spoke up in response. ”We just wanted to come give Tammy our support and-”

”-Oh please.” Francesca then butted in. ”The pink haired menace wouldn’t shut up about beating the cocky out of Apollo here and she also wouldn’t shut up about him being a pervert, even though he clearly isn’t. She also wouldn’t let everyone lie in as she wanted ’witnesses’ for when the man does something perverted.” She then turned to me and smiled. ”In case you haven’t realised it yourself yet, Tammy is crazy, so good luck today, you will need it.”

”Bitch do you want to see crazy? Because I will show you crazy!” Tamara yelled at Francesca, taking steps forwards in aggression. Francesca simply folded her arms in front of her with a cocky smirk. ”Go ahead Tammy, lay a finger on me and see what happens.” She said and looked towards Sigfried with extra obviousness.

While the two went into a stare down, I couldn’t help thinking. ’Great, anger her up before whatever combat activities Valerica has planned. Sounds great...’

Valerica just watched on with interest, not bothering to put a stop to the spat. It wasn’t her job... Well it was, but she just felt like seeing what would happen. Much to her surprise, the pink ball of rage problems actually backed down with a huff before returning to Sigfried’s side.

Valerica then turned to Sigfried and replied to his response. ”Well, usually this wouldn’t be allowed as the training is specialised for each individual after all, you would get nothing out of watching these two train, but hey, fuck it. Considering all of you are a part of the enhanced training, I don’t have a problem with you all watching, but from a safe distance.”

Sigfried nodded his head. ”Thank you Valerica, that is more than fair. Come on girls, let’s watch from under those trees. Oh and Apollo, best of luck today.”

Sigfried then turned and walked away with the two green haired women, leaving Tamara and Francesca behind, the latter touched my arm and smiled at me. ”Best of luck.” She then leaned in and whispered. ”Her eyesight is a bit sensitive, use that to your advantage if you can.” Before finally turning away and shouting Siggy, wait up!”

I smiled watching Francesca running away. ’Nice girl.’ I then turned my attention to Tamara who was glaring daggers at me and also smiled at her politely, but she wasn’t having it and huffed.

Once the observers were a fair distance away, Valerica then spoke to Tamara and I. ”So, today I have a few things for the both of you to work on your respective strengths and weaknesses. But first at the start of every session we have for the next few months, we are going to begin with a spar like the last one we had. The first on their back, loses. Do either of you object?”

Neither of us did.

”Good, now any questions before you begin wailing on each other?” She followed up and I raised my hand, prompting her to tell me to ask.

I then turned to Tammy and asked. ”So, any chance I get another free hit this time?”

Valerica resisted the urge to laugh hysterically at her son. He was a little shit in combat and pre combat and she loved him for it. That was something she would do to piss off her opponent and it worked a charm as the feral one began growling like another deranged one close to Apollo’s heart.

”I think that is a no, Apollo. Now both of you get ready.”

Tamara squatted down slightly, like she was getting ready to pounce at me the moment Valerica gave the go ahead. Smart, considering dicking about being over confident caused her to lose last time. Luckily for me though, thanks to Francesca, I now had another trick that would only work most likely once. As I liked combat, but I have seen this woman’s strength and if she got hold of me with her rage...

’Brrr.’

The thought did not agree with me.
