Spill The Beans

After you finished talking, it was silent for a good while. Until Andrea let out a loud sigh. "I'll go get us some drinks. You three can talk about it." She said before getting out of the driver's seat and walking into the gas station. Right after, Elle let out an awkward chuckle and did the same, leaving you with Tori and Nessa. To call the atmosphere tense and awkward would be an understatement.

"Pete." Tori finally said after what felt like an eternity. "You think we should?"

"I don't know..." You muttered. "But maybe Hideki can find a cure or something. It's... it's a possibility."

"What if we just get another Kelly from King Enterprises?" Nessa asked quietly. "It lets me go outside like this and-"

"That's not what this is about." Tori said with a gulp. "Nessa, I... what if we want kids one day? They'll have our curse too."

"But-"

"Pete, should we go to Hideki?" Tori asked, interrupting Nessa again. "If I really am pregnant, then... I don't know what to do... I don't want them to live with this curse. To go through what Nessa did..."

Nessa's eyes widened as she stared at Tori. "You're... Tori?" Nessa mumbled. "Are you serious? You're..."

"I don't know Nessa." Tori whispered as she balled her hands up into fists. "I'm... I'm scared to take a test and find out, honestly."

"Tori..." You muttered as you turned around in your seat and grabbed her balled up hands. "We're in this together. I'm scared too, but we'll manage. So don't-"

"Pete." Tori said quietly. "I'm terrified to go to Hideki. I'm terrified what they might do." She whispered. "I've heard rumors about turning normal people in suits of skin and **** people for experiments and-and-and... what would they do to me? I'm not even human, I might-"

"Tori, you're-" You began to say.

"What human lets things possess them? To read into their mind, to use their body however they want?!" Tori asked in a shaky voice. "I'm no different than Kelly, right? I'm just a tool for sex and nothing-" Tori said before stopping as you quickly unbuckled and awkwardly climbed to the backseat to embrace her. Immediately when your arms landed, Tori started bawling, using your shoulder as a glorified pillow.

"It's alright Tori." You whispered as you rubbed Tori's shaking back with one hand, ignoring your own discomfort of your positioning to soothe her, even a little. "It's okay."

"I didn't know she felt like that..." Nessa muttered.

"She's just under a lot of stress." You said as Tori's bawling started to slow down. "I'm sorry. I was the straw that broke the camel's back, wasn't I?" You asked. Tori nodded in response, although it might've just been to wipe her eyes and nose on your shirt. "Don't ever think like that. Curse or not, you're Tori. And that'll never change."

"I'll go get Elle and Andrea, so-" Nessa began until you shot her a look.

"This goes for you too, Nessa." You said firmly. "You'll always be Nessa. And don't ever even begin to think differently."

"I know..." Nessa muttered.

"Don't feel **** to go to Hideki. Just because Tori doesn't want to doesn't mean you have to go in her place." You ordered as Tori's crying turned to sniffles. "We'll find another way. I promise."

"P-P-Pete." Tori sniffled. "I'm o-okay now."

"I want to keep holding you though." You said as Tori buried her head into your chest with another sniffle...

Later, At Home

"You've been quiet for a while. Did you three decide something?" Andrea asked. "We didn't want to butt in, we're not channelers so-" She tried to say before you hugged her tight. "Babe?"

"Am I too tight?" You asked.

"No..." Andrea whispered. "Did something happen between you three?"

"No, no." You answered quietly. "Just... you're a part of this weird family too. Don't-"

"Of course you'd say that." Andrea muttered before kissing the side of your neck. "But your job is to comfort us, not the other way around. When we started dating, you promised to be my rock, remember?"

"Drea, you-"

"Of course we saw, Peter." Andrea whispered. "And do you really think if Elle or I held Tori like that, she'd be as happy?" Andrea asked. "We've both been part of her mind, we both know the answer."

"I just... I wanted you to be there. To not just walk away with an excuse. You're important to me and them, you should've..." You muttered as you tightened your hug, eliciting a peep from Andrea. "Sorry..."

"It's fine, Peter." Andrea grunted, making you finally loosen your hug. "I'll stay next time anything about the curse comes up, I promise." She whispered right into your ear. "You big sap."

"I really love you Andrea." You muttered before planting your lips on hers for a long kiss...

---

"Uhhhh! Knock next time!!" Elle shouted as you opened her door. You hadn't even opened it all the way, but quickly shut your eyes. "What are you here for anyway?"

"I just wanted to tell you that... I want you to stay the next time something like that comes up." You said with a gulp. "Can I come in all the way?"

"I'm not dressed yet!" Elle shouted as you heard a rustling of clothes. After a few minutes, the door you were leaning on suddenly moved, making you instinctively open your eyes. Elle was in a little bra and some panties. But... something was off. "What?"

"You said you were getting dressed..."

"I'm wearing underwear! That's better than I was..." Elle muttered. "What are you staring at?"

"I don't know..." You whispered as you narrowed your gaze at Elle. "There's something weird about you..."

"My bra's new, maybe that?"

"That's what it is, yeah..." You muttered before suddenly cupping Elle's chest, earning a squeak of surprise. "You're not this big."

"I put on a few pounds!" Elle lied.

"I know what your tits feel like, Elle. You don't have to pad for me." You said as you unclipped Elle's bra effortlessly, exposing her flat chest. "The clip in the front is convenient though."

"That's tr-NOT THE POINT!" Elle bellowed. "Sometimes clothes fit better when there's some curves..."

"Sure they do." You muttered before scooping Elle up in your arms, making her squeak again. She felt so light in your arms. Seeing her blush, you "accidentally" touched her cute butt, earning a glare as she wrapped her arms around your neck. "Quickie?"

"No." Elle said with a sigh. "It tires me out too much and it's not even dinnertime yet."

"I'll wake you up for dinner."

"You'll have to bring my food up, I'll be too sore to walk downstairs."

"I'll carry you downstairs then."

"You'll just touch my butt again, I'd rather stay up here."

"I'll eat in here with you."

"I might not have an appetite."

"I'll go hungry for the night."

"You've got a plan for everything..." Elle mumbled. "Can we wait until tonight though? And then it'll be just us all night?"

"What if Sabel wants to snuggle?"

"You're the worst." Elle whispered before pulling herself up for a kiss...

Elsewhere...

"Check." A woman said with a determined stare at her opponent, a woman with rust-red hair in a wheelchair, her arm wrapped in a brace. The woman had managed to get her Bishop in a near-perfect position, all but securing her win.

"Interesting move, Alice." The other woman said with a devilish grin. "However..." She began before moving her Queen directly next to her opponent's King, which simultaneously blocked her opponent's Bishop. "Checkmate."

"You're too good..." Alice whined as she cleared the board. "Em, you're-"

"Miss King until 5, Alice." The wheelchair-bound woman corrected. "It is becoming more evident that your talent still hasn't returned."

"How do we know if I'm improving if you win every game?" Alice asked with a pout. "Maybe you're just better than what that coin ever did."

"Flattery won't make me throw the match, Alice."

"I know..." Alice grumbled before stretching and leaning back in her chair. "Should I call?"

"Hmm..."

"Should I?"

"Alice, we cannot seem too demanding. We presented them with a constant reminder, they'll come to us at one point."

"But doesn't Shaw-"

"You honestly believe Shaw is able to comprehend what a spiteful ex-boyfriend is saying? And more importantly, have the ability to re-create his story?!" The wheelchair-bound woman hissed. "The more pressing matter is Hasegawa. If that Hideki employee starts talking, Reiko will assuredly find out and start investigating."

"You think she'd come all the way from Hiroshima for this?" Alice asked with a gulp.

"Hideki needs more than just the Ascend to stay relevant in this day and age and Reiko is fully aware of that fact. Imagine the publicity around curing a 'disease' like that. Not just in their capabilities, but in the charitable façade the populace continues to fall prey to."

"Why wouldn't they just-"

"Because my curse keeps King Enterprises beneath the others. They are fully aware of that fact. They know that the moment I am cured, I will have both the capability and the freedom to completely topple their little empire. An unshackled Emilia King is the greatest threat they can imagine." The wheelchair-bound woman said with a sadistic smirk. "That is why they refuse to release me from my curse or even attempt to cooperate in the search for one."

"Emilia, the next Kelly unit is ready for testing." A voice said over a nearby intercom. "Would you like me to bring it up?"

"Yes, please." Emilia answered as she flexed her arm within the cast her arm remained entrapped within. It would be fleeting, but to have a fully working body was a blessing. One she was determined to eternally grab a hold of...

Back At Home

"Lemme wash off my hand." Elle grumbled as she clambered off of the bed, her hand covered in your spunk. "You could've warned me first, Peter."

"You're the one who started looking at me all dirty."

"I WINKED!!"

"And I wasn't expecting it!" You shouted. "And uh... could you..."

"I jerked you off, I'm not licking you clean!!" Elle shouted back. "There's a literal sex machine thing downstairs!!"

"Good point. I can make her look like you. And give her your personality. Can you cook any good? Maybe you and her can trade places."

"Just because I won't suck your dick, you're gonna tease me like that?" Elle asked with a sigh. "It's gross."

"Tori swallows it every time..." You muttered, making Elle shudder. "C'mon..."

"Trust me, some went in my mouth. It's not great."

"I wouldn't know." You mumbled as a devious grin formed on your face. "I'll give you-"

"No."

"Please? Just a few licks and then I'll give you a few licks." Elle groaned and left her room, leaving you stranded on her bed. "YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME TO EAT YOU OUT ELLE!!" You bellowed after a few moments. "IT'S A TOTALLY FAIR... h-hey, Nessa."

"Hey..." Nessa muttered as she stood just outside the door. "Dinner's ready."

"Good."

"Want a towel or a tissue or something?"

"That would probably be for the best."

"Uh... do you like stuff with mouths?" Nessa asked in the most innocent voice imaginable. "I could just..."

"I'll just use a towel or a tissue or something, it's-"

"No, I'll handle it." Nessa said as she closed the door shut behind her and locked it. "I saw it twitching there and it's making me all hot..."

"This is Elle's room, we can't-" You tried to say as Nessa shimmied out of her hoodie, exposing her hefty breasts. No bra. That wasn't an issue. "I'll clean the sheets for her later, let's do this!" You shouted as Nessa's sweatpants fell to the floor. No panties either. Even better. But some part of you, in the back of your mind, was telling you to stop. But why? And was it even worth listening to?
