Talks & Exposition

"What the hell is going on?"You heard a voice shout as two people turned a corner and froze as they saw you standing there fully naked and making a horse feel small.

"What the fuck?" The woman wearing a doctors white coat said outloud as she froze, her eyes locking onto your crotch and going wide

"Sorry, these guys felt like they had to prove something" you smirked as you grabbed your pants and pulled them up, you cock quickly shrinking and disappearing "I take it you're the one in charge?"

"I am," the man said cautiously as you continued to put your clothes back on "What do you want?"

"To talk, and tell you how bad things are outside." You told him straight

"not here." the man stated as he looked around and seeing the looks on everyone's faces as they started whispering to each other. Motioning for you to follow him, the guards stook close and you were lead into a private room, the large guard entering with you while the other guards stayed outside.

Inside the room was a large meeting table, obviously supposed to hold at least a dozen people, wuth comfy looking seat. Sitting at the head of the table, the man gestured for you to take a seat as well.

"I am Doctor Johnson I run this hospital, this is Doctor Allez. Now tell us what the fuck you're doing here, scaring everybody?" Dr Johnson introduced himself and the woman by his side.

"I'm not here to mince words dotor, I am here to tell you how bad it is outside, and how I can help you and this hospital" You said strernly, your eyes lingering on Dr Allez for a few seconds before moving back to Johnson. "I know you know shit has gone down, you've barracaded downstairs and thrown out anyone who's turned into a zombie."

"Which we shouldn't have done, we should've isolated them and worked on a cure" Dr Allez interupted you and glared at Johnson, who simply sighed and rubbed his temple, obviously an old argument kicking off again

"It was too dangerous, too high risk. we needed to focus on the healthy patients"

"We could've found a cure by now if we did proper testing!" Dr Allez snapped

"No, you wouldn't. Dr Johnson is right, it's too dangerous to keep zombies around. no matter what testing you do finding a cure is impossible, even for your Powers." you stated, both johnson and Allez gawping at you

"How... do you?" Dr Allez spluttered out, obviously her Powers had been kept secret, or at least were meant to be kept secret from you

"You and your flyboy aren't the only ones with Powers," you said as you pointed to your eyes "I've got a few tricks of my own. telling who's got what power being one of them, and shapeshifting being another."

"Interesting," Johnson muttered to himself, thinknig on something "Is it possible for others to get more Powers? Or to transfer them?"

"We're getting off topic," you said trying to avoid answering his question and bring the conversation back on topic "I bet your flyboy has told you the things he's seen, but not how bad it really is outside. The amount of zombies, the mutated animals, the gangs, the dwindeling resources, the fact you're being watched and that the power will run out soon." you counted each one off with your fingers

"What? We're being watched?" Johnson stood up, followed closely by Allez

"The power will run out?"

"Well yeah," you said to Dr Allez with a confused look "We're in an apocalypse, no one's manning the power stations, i'm surprised the power's lasted this long, but it won't last much longer"

Going pale, Allez sat back doing as she started muttering to herself, trying to figure soemthing out as Johnson spoke up

"What do you mean we're being watched?"

"You've got a big, sturdy, secure building. One of the few in the entire city with plenty of beds, supplies and i'm guessing some generators. Of course people are going to be interested in taking it over. It's why i'm here." Out of the corner of your eye you saw the guards hand move to his holster again "Difference is I don't want to kill everyone and just take it for myself. But the other guys? I can't say, but they aren't idiots. They were scoping the building out and taking notes, so they're at least making a plan before they do anything."

"We can handle them." The security guard said sternly "they won't get in."

"Maybe," you scoffed not turning to look at him "but if they take out your flyboy, then who's going to get your supplies? Like I said, they're not idiots, they're making a plan of attack as we speak"

Feeling an actual gun press against the back of your head, you heard the guard growl "And how do you know you're not with them? Doing some recon so you can figure out out numbers?"

"You don't." you smirked, feeling the gun slowly remove itself from the back of your head as the guard began grunting, his arm slowly moving to point the gun at his own head, the guard not able to stop it even when he used his other arm "but then, I don't need others to take over this place."

"Alright Enough!" Johnson barked as he slammed his hand on the table while Dr Allez was muttering to herself "Whatever you're doing, stop it!"

"You Aren't In charge!" you shouted back, glaring at Johnson and snapping Allez back to the moment "Whatever potision you held before the apocalypse doesn't mean shit anymore, you might be able to hold it for now but what happens when people start getting hungry? When the power goes out? What do you think will happen when the mediocre sense of normalcy you have comes crashing down? What good will you be then? The guards have the guns, Dr Allez can heal people and the rich can be used for fun. But what use will you be?"

Dr Johnson went red in the face as he tried to plutter out an answer "I... we... have generators, and.... we still have supplies...'

"which'll last for what, two? Three days at most? And what happens when your flyboy gets taken out? Who's going out for supplies then? How much you got stashed away cause I can garuntee it won't be enough"

"We have enough for three days, power and food" Dr Allez spoke up, leaning on the table and putting her head in her hands as if just realising how precariously balanced everything was for the first time "Oh God!"

"Shut up" Johnson hissed at Dr Allez who turned and glared at him

"No. we can't ignore this any longer, she's right. Sooner or later the power will run out, the food will run out. Then what? You can't keep pretending anymore, the world is fucked and-"

"AND NOTHING!" Johnson roared as he slammed his hand on the table again, his face bright red as his veins on his head bulged out "The lights go out, so what? What's the worst that can happen? We lose a few patients and bring out the candles and torches. But we will not starve, we will not be attacked and I will not hand over MY hospital to this wannabe thug ruler bitch!"

"You're righ." You said simply, catching Johnson in the proverbial headlights as you pulled out a handgun of your own and pointed it at him "I'll just be taking it."

Before Johnson could say or do anything, you put two round into his chest, senidng him falling back into his chair, pushing it back slightly before his dead weight caused him to slide out of it onto the floor. You were surprised when Dr Allez didn't scream, but then she looked like she'd been a doctor for a while, so she had probably seen a lot of bad stuff.

Hearing the door rush open, you quickly turned the gun towards it, catching the guards with their proverbial pants down, as they saw your gun pointed at them none of them made a move to reach for their own

"Don't." you simply said to them, their eyes drifting from you to the big guard still struggling to move his own gun from his head. "I'm sure you were listening in, but I'll say it clear so you all understand: I'm in charge now, the worlds outside is shit, and I'll be moving in here or some other secure place. You're welcome to join me but I need people to work, not just laze around all day; keep the place secure, keep it clean, grow food, cook food etc. I'll be back by the end of the week so you've got until then to decide whether you want to join me or not."

Lifting your gun up and away from the guards, you put it back into yor inventory as they looked at you in surprise "You can go now, and tell everyone else what's going on"

Hesitantly the guards looked at each other before backing out of the room and closing the door. Swiveling your chair, you turned to face the big guard who was still in the room.

"and you, if you promise to stop saying and doing stupid shit, you can join too"

"Fine! I promise I won't" he panted as sweat ran down his head, not just because he was scared but also because he was still striggling against your Power. all of a suddenly the pressure was gone and his arm flung away from his head as you released him, watching as he collapsed and panted on the floor on his hands and knees

"Good boy. Now fuck off" you ordered him, without even a glance of anger or a moments hesitation, he climbed onto his feet and ran out of the room, leaving his gun on the floor.

swivelling the chair again you turned to face Dr Allez who looked at you with some fear but also curiosity, wondering what you had in store for her

"and what's your plans for me?" she asked

"Whether I stay or go, you'll be under my protection. Which means if I don't stay here, you don't stay here. You're just too precious to leave alone" you told her straightforward, earning a scoff from her

"You mean my Powers are."

"No, your Powers are only part of it, but you're an experienced doctor who knows what she's doing, you're nearly invaluable." Standing up you stretched slightly as you checked out her body, giving her a small smile "Besides, I'd hate for a beautiful woman like you to go to waste."

Leaving the otler woman blushing, you turned and left the room, already you could see the guards and patients talking to each other in hurried whispers as you walked bapst, heading to the door that lead to the roof.

Once you were outside, you turned back into an eagle and flew off the roof, making sure to circle a few times before leaving and landing on a roof some distance away.

Turning back to human, you pulled out your binoculars and waited.

Soon enough, what you saw what you were waiting for.

Trusting Dr Allez to try and keep things organised you knew she'd send out the flyboy to try and stock up on supplied while they could.

Using what you could as a perch to help your aim, you pulled out a rifle with a powerful scope, your stats allowing you to easily aim the weapon properly, and with a single shot, hit the flyboy perfectly in the chest, his body instantly falling from the ckyas you heard the familiar words in your head.

Smiling to yourself, you put the gun away and, now with Lv5 flying Powers, headed towards your next destination.
