Chapter 559 - Brain Goes Buzz (2/2)
Oh...' Matt realized, or at least, he felt that he realized Mark's intentions.

Manhattan Highschool.
Nik walked into the school with casual steps. The unconscious school guard by the gates barely attracted any attention as Nik smiled at a blonde girl looking at him. She stood along with another youth, bulkier than Nik and bald. 'Well, isn't that the criminal description,' Nik looked at the tattoed arm that the man flaunted over his admirable bicep. ”Hello, I'm—”
”Beat it, newbie.” the man grunted with a twitch of his eyes, ”Don't poke in the funny business.”
”Whatever that means,” Nik smiled, ”I am looking for a smoking hot chick,” he emphasized, winking at the blonde, ”And now, I realized how hard my search would be. I am—”
”F.u.c.ker!” The man growled, pushing the girl away slightly before readying himself to punch Nik, making him sidestep with an apologetic smile.
”Come on, pal. I don't want any trouble. Just here to introduce myself. Take it easy, I'll leave,” Nik raised his hand in surrender and snickered as the man looked visibly placated. ”My name is— Grumbling Baldy— by the way.” Nik jogged away with a snicker as the blonde hurriedly stopped her boyfriend from hurting the humorous stranger. She had to. He was hot!
As Nik entered the building, he walked around. The students barely filled with the corridors with the classes already started but Nik could sniff something. 'Hmm?' he furrowed and whispered in certainty, ”Pheromones...” Turning his head, Nik began making his way to the first floor, and suddenly, his head buzzed. Oh, it buzzed hard! There wasn't any strange scent aside from the pheromones and of course, Nik couldn't hear or see anything aside from the murmuring students and the stern voices of the teachers lecturing the student on the topic and even then, he 'shifted' forward.
BOOOOMMMM!
The ceilings crashed, revealing a man falling down but he didn't stop and fell further to the ground floor. It didn't stop here. With an eerie buzz, a yellow humanoid figure covered in exoskeleton slowly flew down. A human-wasp with an arm-sized stinger sticking out of its enlarged butt.
”Wut...” Nik muttered and considered should he laugh or not. The following scene decided for Nik since the wasp actually let out a human-like cough and with it, caused a few acid-spit to spread on the floor, corroding it a pace visible to the n.a.k.e.d eyes. ”That's... kind of hot...” Nik heard a whisper behind him. The scent of pheromones was stronger than ever as a pair of tender hands gripped his t-shirt tightly from behind. Looking behind, Nik found a rather youthful and beautiful asian girl with slightly darker skin, just like Nik, gazing into him. Her eyes were... glazed. She was confused, not as much as Nik who instantly began analyzing Cindy Moon. Of course, he recognized her the moment he saw her. What kind of Incubus he is if he can't look past the little changes?
”Hey, don't grip my t-shirt this tightly. My girlfriend loves this one,” Nik hastily whispered while enjoying Cindy's scent. She survived the day and that meant that she had successfully mutated and now, both of their brains buzzed but Nik already knew that the wasp had directed its attention towards Nik's direction, or to be precise, Cindy's direction.
Instantly shifting alongside Cindy, that took a massive hit to Nik's recently gained reserves, Nik let go of the girl and whispered loud enough to let himself get heard by the girl while the wasp crushed the locker that had given its warm shade the duo quite recently.
”You should be able to jump from this high. Follow me!”
Not willing to waste his energy on spatial shifts, Nik opened the window and jumped down followed by the girl, who instantly faltered after seeing the height but the moment she saw Nik landing and felt her head buzz again, her body leaped on its own and while she closed her eyes, instead of her legs impacting against the ground with an expectant crunch, she found herself landing roughly into a pair of arms and the moment she opened her eyes, Cindy gazed at the amused and mischievous smirk of the youth that held her attraction once again.
”Out of your heated stupor?” Nik chuckled as he looked at the Wasp's front and did Nik wish he hadn't seen it. The previous metallic surface of the figure had allowed Nik to preconceive the image of the mutated monster but as Nik looked at the yellow, hairy face with two sets of eyes and long, nasty, horizontal mandibles followed by equally disgusting limbs and torso and the repulsive genitals reddened and hanging out of the fur by the short margin, Nik felt that he had found his polar opposite. The evil twin brother of anything that's holy and hot. Like him.
”Cindy, right?” Nik whispered as he continued to keep eye contact with the monster. In fact, that worked. The monster didn't lose Nik's gaze and looked back. ”How did you know my name?” Cindy inquired in surprise. She could barely contain herself from tearing the t-shirt now. Of course, the fact that a monster is right above her and the boy's earlier warning of this t-shirt being his favorite... 'No, his girlfriend...' Cindy bit her lips.
”How? I threatened a street thug over a knife and asked if you are a smoking hot babe, or not. Turns out, he lied but I knew better,” Nik continued, ”Besides, how about doing me a favor?”
”What?” She whispered, of course, not believing the truth Nik had divulged. ”Try and focus on yourself. A spider bit you yesterday, did it not? You also feel strange but sweetheart, you are letting out such a sweet scent that anyone half-the-man as myself could barely control himself and that monster isn't a human. So... I suggest, if you are not into bestiality, it is best that you figure out a way to stop smelling so... delicious.”
Cindy's lips twitched as she muttered, ”For a guy who saved my life... you sure say some things nasty.”
”Oh my,” Nik looked down in surprise, ”Not into bestiality? I mean, not even in comics?”
The monster roared the moment Nik broke the eye contact and the shout instantly petrified Cindy with her scent now overflowing.
'Ah... guilty I am...' Nik's lips twitched as he still didn't have the heart cold enough to throw such a lovely girl into the mouth of a monster when—
Fwwwiiiiissshhhh!
A sharp sound echoed and Nik merely took a step back when a white blur instantly stopped in front of Nik. 'Oh, how hot are the skintight suits...' Gazing at the wide ass proudly presented in front of Nik covered in a silver-white bodysuit, a thick one with further enhancement to the limb section with arm guards, leg guards and claw-shoes, and a silver belt tied across the thin waist leading up to a thick ponytail of the brunette hidden by the costume, Nik didn't even give the cursory glance to the monster who now shrieked in pain and anger. A long, shallow cut not etched over its entire body from the center which allowed greenish blood to leak.
”P-please!” Finally, the monster stopped shouting and whispered. He slowly landed and knelt in pain while a gigantic brute slowly opened the window and jumped out. His body still covered in the dust of the rubble he left within the school. The figure wore a yellow tank-top, exposing his... well, Nik admired everyone's biceps. A respect to the fellow bodybuilders in his sense. With only a pair of shades on his dark skin, the man smiled and gazed at the white heroine.
”White Tiger,” the man spoke in a deep voice, making Nik gaze at the black strips that even reached the woman's butt, ”I'll take him...” he said with a sheepish smile. For a moment, the man looked towards Nik and showed a hint of surprise.
”Nik, is that you?” He exclaimed while Nik slowly let off Cindy, making him take another look at the man.
”No, I don't know any Nik. I am sorry.” The apostle shook his head as the black hunk tilted his gaze before shrugging. ”Can you? You already let him escape once!” White Tiger lashed at Carl Lucas. Of course, Nik knew the disgustingly strong man who resigned over Harlem until he was backstabbed by the fallen Stryker. This man is a local legend who employed Nik back then.
”Sorry about that. You know his venom can be itchy...” Carl pointed out as White Tiger snorted and turned around with Carl putting a restrainer on the Wasp's mouth and holding its limbs and wings at the same time. ”No, the venom practically melts steel, but you wouldn't care.” Hissing, she looked at Nik and Cindy while taking a soft sniff. ”You two alright?” She inquired while walking forward as Cindy looked towards Nik with a panicked expression.
”You tell me!” Nik groaned and acted, ”We were just going to have fun when that... whatever! Let's go, babe.” Nik held Cindy's hands with pursed lips as she accepted the gesture and walked alongside, making the man behind White Tiger chuckle. ”Ah, he's always like this.”
”You know him?” White Tiger pressed the button over her belt as Carl nodded, ”I guess so. A natural-born salesman with the greatest female share of the market back in the days... but now, I guess, it wasn't his selling ability that hooked those girls up.”
”We've caused enough damage. Keep a tight leash on the guy. It's good for all of us. Hill's sent out support from the local.”
White Tiger didn't reply. The fact that another human's scent could attract highly mutated or beast-based supernaturals was something worth sharing only to the parents and the HQ to keep such individuals safe and turn them into assets.
