The covers pulled back slowly to reveal matted red hair and a sweat-covered face. Victoria looked like she was in really rough shape.
"Why is she like this? Why wasn't she already at the hospital?!" I asked with shock, quicking darting a look at Katie.
"She was fine until the power went out, then she started to get worse. I wanted to try and go to the hospital, but that's when that group of guys showed up, trying to get in," Katie explained, and I nodded, focusing back on Victoria.
"Relax, and I will see what I can do for you," I said slowly and placed my hand on Victoria's forehead.
She flinched at my touch and averted her eyes from me, but that was fine. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my hand and what I was feeling from Victoria.
[Target Scan...Complete!]
[Female is suffering from late stages of Pneumonia. Place hands on the target's chest to start repair.]
I blinked the message away and inwardly groaned. Yes, this should go over well.
"Katie, do you mind giving us some space?" I asked, looking back at her, and Katie gave me a strange look.
"What are you going to do?!" Katie asked, but I gave her a look, and she closed the door without another question.
The room became dark, but my eyes adjusted quickly, and I turned back to Victoria. She had an angry look on her face, but that was only going to get worse.
"W-Why'd you m-make K-K-Katie leave the r-room?!" Victoria demanded in a weak voice, and I sighed.
I didn't really have time to waste, but I wasn't going to force this. I looked around and saw glass on the nightstand beside her.
I reached over, grabbed the cup, turned, and threw it to smash into the wall on the opposite side of the room.
"Is everything okay in there?!" Katie called from the other side of the door.
"Yup," I called back and walked over to the shattered pieces of glass.
"W-What are y-you doing?!" Vic cried weakly as I bent down to pick up one of the sharp shards.
I stood up and walked over to the bed, where Victoria looked terrified at me.
"Look, this is to show you something," I said and held up my arm.
Victoria watched in frozen abject terror as I took the sharp piece of glass and dragged it down my arm. It barely even would cut my skin to start, but I was able to make a small gash that hardly burned.
Victoria's terror slowly turned to wide-eyed confusion as the cut on my arm healed almost as fast as I sliced it. After it was healed, the skin looked better in that spot, but there was no scar.
"If I told you that I could heal you by placing my hands on her bare chest, would you have believed me? You see what just happened when I cut my skin, right? Something happened to me just after the power went out last night, and now I can do some pretty strange and wild things," I explained, tossing the shard back over on the ground with the rest.
"I-I, umm, umm, just do it! B-But you had b-b-better not grope me, you p-pervert!" Victoria squeaked and then started to cough raggedly.
I smiled and sat down on the small bed beside her, pulling the blanket back to expose Victoria's sweat cover chest and soaked nightgown. Her nipples stood erect, pressing up into her satin dress, but more than enough skin showed for my hands to make contact.
"Just try to relax, and you will feel better right away," I said gently and placed my hands on her chest, so her nipples barely grazed the backs of my wrists.
[External repair of female human activated. 1:59s until completed.]
Green light started to glow from my hands, and Victoria's eyes opened in surprise.
"You are really healing me? But I always call you a womanizer and a pervert!" Victoria asked me, and I shrugged.
"You are allowed to have your opinions about things, but I really think you should keep those ones to yourself. I love the girls and made it my priority to save them all when this happened. You are friends with them all; even though you don't like me for your own reasons, they like you. Plus, you're a pretty girl, even if you act vile and angry all the time," I said in a matter-of-fact tone, shocking Victoria.
There was a long quiet stretch where we just stared into each other's eyes, but I could feel her breathing slowly getting better. There were still about thirty seconds left, but I found it hard to look away from her green eyes.
"Umm, thank you, I guess. This isn't going to change how I feel about you!" Victoria said to me suddenly, but then her face got red, and she looked away.
That was right about the time that the healing was completed, and the light faded from my hands. I took my hands from Victoria's chest and then placed her on her far side, leaning forward to get up.
Suddenly, Victoria's hands wrapped up around my neck, pulling my face to hers. Our lips pressed together before I knew what had happened, and I was drawn into a passionate kiss.
This made my head spin harder than the rain of punches the Villain had hit me with. All I could do was respond to her passion, wrapping my arms around her.
"Are you guys okay in there?! You are being awfully quiet in there!" Katie called from the other side of the door.
Just as fast as it started, Victoria pushed me away and then expertly kicked me between the legs. My eyes bulged as I felt the wind being knocked out of my sails.
[Total damage 5%. Repairing.]
I groaned and then glared at Victoria, who matched my stare. She put her finger to her lips to be quiet and then drew it across her neck, and I groaned but nodded.
"You can come in; the womanizer healed me like the true pervert he is!" Victoria declared as my head was still spinning and my bits and parts were being rebuilt.
