Return

The trip back to the facility is surprisingly quick, and little is said, everyone being a bit lost in thought. Mike eyes his fellow humans, wondering how things will go when they get there. He knows it’s partially because his thoughts had become more sexual due to the changes in him, but part of him hopes they throw themselves into their new lives much like he did.

Upon arrival, they fall in behind him as they enter the building. They’re inside for less than a minute before a door bursts open and Alicia runs out, leaping into Mike’s arms and nearly bowling him over. She’s nearly in tears as she squeezes him tightly.

“You’re back, and safe! I was so worried, we were about to call someone!”

Mike smiles, simply content to hold her, and after a few more moments she lets go. Stepping back, she has a relieved look on her face. As she takes a deep breath, the others come out of the meeting room, looking similarly happy. Behind him, Mike hears Becca whisper to Layla.

“No wonder he likes it here, look at these aliens…”

Mike chuckles, as Kyrie and Liam give similar greetings. Kyrie giggles as she steps back. “So, you just got kidnapped to capture some more pussy?”

Before Mike can answer, Damon interrupts. “So, these two must be our new arrivals? And they tried to abduct you.”

Mike nods. “I convinced them to come back with me. Bear in mind that they can’t understand you right now.”

Kyrie grins. “That’s good, because otherwise they’d know I’m really looking forward to their examinations.”

Damon sighs. “Look, this is a bit abrupt, but how about we bring them into the observation room before we decide what to do?”

Alicia nods. “I agree. And Mike can explain what’s happening.”

Mike turns to Layla and Becca. “We’re going to put you in the observation room for the moment, while we decide how to move forward. I’m sorry if this seems bad, but you didn’t exactly make a great first impression.”

Layla simply nods, while Becca smiles and shrugs. “Fair is fair. We agreed to this.”

Mike nods, and as Damon gestures for them to follow him, Kyrie leans in to whisper in Mike’s ear. “After we figure this out, we can work on figuring out how to celebrate you coming back.”

Mike chuckles. “It’s not like I was gone long, just a few hours.”

Liam giggles. “True, but you owe me, remember?”

Mike laughs. “Fair enough. We’ll work something out.”

Liam winks, nudging Mike playfully.
