I know it is being caused by sensory overload from the bug control ability, the human brain didn't evolve to handle that level of input. It will recover in time, the plasticity of the human mind is astounding. I also know the girl is named Taylor, but I can't remember why I know it.

That brings to mind another important question. Who am I? Compared to hospital bed, I'm only around the size of a large cat or medium sized dog. Twisting my head around, I see a large fluffy tail coated in white fur. The rest of my body is coated in kind.

So, I am not human looking at all, and my memory is full of holes. What a wonderful way to start the day.

The coldness of the floors is starting to agitate my paws, so I brace my hind-legs and try to jump onto the bed. With a soft plop, I land onto the thin sheets of that cover the girl. The sheets pull as turns her in sleep.

Crawling forward my paw touched her hand, and my perceptions unfolded as senses I had no clue existed forced themselves to the forefront of my mind.

Every cell of Taylor's body was mapped in my mind, each muscle, each bone, each neuron was known to me. Yet, inside of me a copy of genetic material was also forming. It started with but a single cell, splinting and divining. Growing and multiplying. As the first neuron formed, I tried to will the growth to stop, and luckily it heeded my command. The blob of biomass was already larger than my body, yet I hadn't changed in size at all. Where was the mass being stored?

I recognized the powers as the ones that Panacea and Echidna had. That was a powerful combination. How much more could I do?

A subtle glow was centered in Taylor's head. I mentally pulled on it, as suddenly I was able to sense nearby bugs. By general estimates it was only a few dozen feet, as the copied power was weakened. The bio-sense power, told me that Taylor was still alive. That was fucking stupid of me, it could of be the Fairy Queen's power and I could of accidentally killed the girl.

Activity in Taylor's Corona Pollentia was still being registered by the bio-sense.

Panic of suddenly being made aware of powers subsidized.

Despite being only awake for a few minutes I was extremely exhausted, and curled up on Taylor's flat chest.

* * *

A set of large breast made up the pillows I was laying on when I finally woke. The bio-mass that was created for the original clone was also missing.

Apparently my version of Panacea's power continues working while asleep.

Taylor started to stir, and was greeted by a pair of large mounds that she didn't have the day before.

"Hi, I'm Kyubey."

* * *

"Hi, I'm Kyubey."

Why did I say that? My voice is high-pitched and child-like. It is a result of this strange body or was I really that young before? Was I even human before?

A new clone had started growing the Elsewhere, as I woke.

From the bio-sensing, I could tell that the cantaloupe sized breasts aren't the only thing my power did while sleeping. She was a few inches taller, so the growth spurt she would of had in the coming year had already happened. Calves and abs were now well developed, along with several others muscles. Her waist tapered inward then slopped downward into wide hips. Taylor's curly hair had grown further, swaying against the mid of her back.

"What did you to my body!" screamed Taylor.

"I granted one of your wishes. You hated that you had no curves, and being a stick figure, did you not? So I helped."

I had hoped to be able to get us both out of this hospital unnoticed. Then I was going to try and steal the Undersiders out from Coil. Taylor's scream probably alerted the nurses.

Time for plan B. Play cute and dumb.

I curl up and pretend to be asleep,

The gnats and flies under my control were being pushed by away by an a person-sized object.

The window is closed, and I have no thumbs to open it. This must be how a cat feels. I don't have enough time to use the Panacea's power to make a glass cutter bug.

And, I was suddenly thrown off the bed as Taylor kicked me off. The landing on the floor surprisingly didn't hurt at all. But, unlike a cat, I landed on my sides instead of all fours.

A nurse with security guards on each of her sides.

"That perverted thing changed my body!"

More yelling.

"I'm not a thing, I'm Kyubey," as I said from my undefined position of laying on the floor.

* * *

Have you ever been carried out of a hospital in a pet carrier? I'm pretty sure even with large sections of my memories missing, that it was my first time.

I had tried to keep a fly on each of the PRT officers that meet the hospital security staff, and one on Taylor as she was also escorted out of the hospital. If she had any understanding of her powers at this point, her bug control would probably override mine.

Taylor was taken out of my range and to another section of the building, while I was carried into the holding cells.

Now I was waiting in my cell until someone came in for questioning. Newly awakened case 53, child-like behavior. One count of Assault with a parahuman ability, no prior record. I would likely get a probationary deal If I can keep the act going. The question is how well does Armsmaster lie detector works against an inhuman body.

* * *

The second Taylor clone had finished growing, but was still stored in the Elsewhere. I still haven't figured out where that was or how it was connected to me.

I had two flies sit on the hands of an analogue clock, that was in what I could only assume was an office about thirty feet behind the cell. From the positions of the hands it was near eight thirty. Given that there was light outside when I was brought in, and I've only been here about an hour; I can guess it is still early morning.

Well, since I couldn't do much at the moment, I moved one of the flies into the gaps of the cell. It landed on my furry ears, and then in the Elsewhere a copy of it started to generate. It took only a few seconds for the copy to complete, and a another copy started forming as soon as the first one was done. A second true fly then was controlled to land on me, as it and the first where duplicated at the same time. The first fly was then moved off. The copy of the first completed, but no new clones were being made of it.

From the quick little experiment, I've learned two rules on how my version of Echidna's power worked. I cannot create a new clone of something while the a clone of the organism is still being created. I do not need to maintain contact once the clone has started growing. I need to touch the target again to make a new clone, even if I already a copy stored in the Elsewhere.

I still don't know where the clones are being stored at, or how to get them out. But, that might be a good thing for now. Echidna's clones where highly insane and uncontrolled. That could easily be the case with mine as well. If that turned out to be true, I would need Panacea's power just to mindrape them into loyalty. A PRT holding cell would be a good place to test it, in case the clones were totally nutso, but said cell also has a camera pointed at me. Revealing that I am Nilbog plus, while containment foam dispensers are pointed at me doesn't seem to be a good idea.

It has been over an hour as clone!flies have been creating spare bio-mass for me, and I am starting to get really bored. Time to express said boredom as I start singing, "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves and this is how it goes. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves,l everybody's nerves and this is how it goes. I know—

"Hello, I'm Miss Militia. We have some questions for you," said the women with the American flag bandana mark.

"Hi, I'm Kyubey", I said as I tilted my head.

"What are your earliest memories?"

"I woke up in hospital room, that Taylor was in."

"Taylor, did you know the girl?"

"I know of her, but I never met her before"

"What did you know of Taylor."

"She had a trigger event when she was locked in a locker that was filled with vile waste by Sophia Hess, Emma Barnes, and Madison Clements."

She didn't even flinch as I mentioned Shadow Stalker's name.

"That is fairly serious claim, have you met these girls before?"

"No."

"It is possible you have a Thinker power, so we will look into it. But, back to more immediate matters. Can you undone what you did to her? If there is no lasting harm, the PRT is willing to show greater leniency."

"I can change her body back to one closer to how it was. I only wanted to help her. But, then she got all mad and started yelling.

Talking With The Bee

(Автор: CptTagon)

"Oh, that feels wonderful, Taylor," Lisa murmured as I massaged her shoulders. I swept her hair out of the way, and moved to her neck. Even after two months of dating, it still felt kind of weird to be touching another girl in this way. Obviously, nothing of the kind had happened with my mom, and Emma and I were both too young to have been interested in such things before she betrayed me. So there was still a sense of wonder in running my hands over Lisa's back, and feeling the muscles relax underneath her skin. This was the most daring thing we had done yet, with Lisa pushing me on.

Lisa groaned as I worked a knot out of the base of her left shoulder. I was feeling very limber, since she had already spent half an hour working me over, back, neck, limbs and all. The tease had left me feeling a bit hot underneath my non-existent skirt, with her fingers just dipping underneath the towel I had worn, and ghosting over my breasts. Now it was time for me to return the favor.

Over the next ten minutes, I worked my way down Lisa's back, until I arrived at her hips, and the towel that was covering her butt. Lisa moaned her appreciation. As I stared down at my girlfriend's

rump, I worked up my nerve. I'd already touched her down there, but we had both been clothed, and it was a lot more spontaneous then it was now.

"Taylor, if you don't feel comfortable-" Lisa raised her head to look at me from the corner of her eye.

"No, no, I'm fine. You did the same for me, so it's only right I do it too." Matching deeds to words, I started massaging Lisa's rear, though I kept my hands above the towel. After a few minutes, my hands drifted to her sides, and started working their way back up. As I reached her chest, I slipped my hands to her front, and palmed her breasts. Bigger than mine, but still on the smaller side.

"Oh, not much muscle there to relax, Tay. Still feels nice though." Encouraged by Lisa, I kept on playing with her breasts. With a thrill of delight, I noticed that her breathing was getting heavier. As I caught a nipple in between two fingers, she moaned, and flipped herself over. Her face was flushed, but mine was redder, since the movement had knocked the towel away, and for the first time I saw my girlfriend naked.

I already knew her body was better than mine, but seeing her in all her glory really emphasized it. Her lovely breasts, her lightly tanned skin, and an upside down triangle of blond hair pointing to her crotch were all a sight I had never seriously thought I would see. Seeing my eyes glance over her, Lisa smiled and stretched her arms, doing interesting things to her breasts.

"Like what you see? Got to say, I'm interested in you returning the favor." After Lisa had finished her massage of me, I had just slipped into a t-shirt and shorts, perfect for the September weather in Brockton Bay. Hesitating for a moment, I reached down and lifted my t-shirt up and dropped it at my feet. Hearing Lisa whistle, I looked back at her, frowning, but there wasn't any scorn on her face. Just a pleased look, as she looked me up and down.

"Well, it seems I lucked out on my girlfriend. Always did like the slender type." She stood up, stretched, and stalked over to me. Even as I took a step back, Lisa grabbed my shoulders and pulled my head down for a soul-searing kiss, with her tongue bursting into my mouth. My eyes fluttered as I stared down into Lisa's green eyes.

Finally, she pulled back, leaving me to try and catch my breath. We'd kissed before, but nothing like that. Wow! As I focused on Lisa, she moved forward, pushing me down to the chair behind us. Her grin was as big as when she got the upper hand on someone in a fight. As she started running her hands up and down my arms, I managed to blurt out an objection.

"Wai-, wait, you said you weren't able to have sex! Your power, it told you a bunch of nasty shit about me." Lisa moved her arms up around my neck, and rested her head on my shoulder.

"Well, there are two reasons for that. I've had four months to figure out all your little secrets, and accept them. Second, I'm horny and you're hot. Now kiss me back."

As I leaned in to give Lisa a distracted kiss, I was mentally reeling. Someone could see everything I'd thought and done, all the people I'd sacrificed and turned my back on, and still want me? Not just as a friend or teammate, but as a lover? It wasn't poss—

Sensing my thoughts, Lisa broke our kiss and smiled at me, while one arm worked its way up to rub against the back of my head.

"It is real, Taylor. I do love you, and I do accept what you've done. You need to stop only seeing the bad in you, and accept the good parts too. Your drive to help others, the way you care so much, those are all things I see and really like."

I could barely think, so I just grabbed Lisa in a hug, and held her close to me. Maybe she was right, and even if she wasn't, at least she still wanted to spend time with me. Lisa chuckled, and gave me a hug of her own.

"I do love you Taylor. Honest to God. But if we're not going to have sex, then I'd like to get my clothes back on. It's a bit chilly in here to be naked." As my face flushed again, Lisa hopped off my lap, and started grabbing her clothes from the pile at the foot of the bed, pausing to give me a quick kiss on the cheek. As I stood up to grab my shirt and underwear, I snuck a quick glance at Lisa as she wiggled into her panties. Soon, very soon, I'd be ready to go all the way with her.

God, I hoped it would be as nice as the stories said.

I Just Wanted To Know

He didn't have any particular reason for doing what he did. They'd all been standing around on the boat and he'd looked off the side. Most people, they would have mimed a shudder at how cold it must be and looked away. He didn't.

The water was there. Air cooling the top, and cold North Atlantic Currents cooling the bottom. Then he realized he'd forgotten what that meant. Temperature data, tidal patters, it all came easily. Felt? Not so much.
