“Mark, are you sure you want to do that?” Cecil asked.

I stood there for a moment and tried to not act surprised that he wasn't trying to convince me to not do it. “I doubt there's any kind of prison that could handle him for long, not with how adaptable Viltrumites are.” I said and he nodded. “Plus, by his own reckoning, he abandoned the task his people assigned to him and the Empire will execute him when they find him.”

Cecil gave me a searching look. “You're going to save the bug planet anyway?”

“From him, yes. If he wasn't there, they would never bother looking at their planet.” I said with a smile and Cecil nodded again.

“I'll put you down for an extended away mission, with bonuses for the ship and any other technology you can bring back.” Cecil said and smiled back. “Do you want to tell Debbie or should I?”

“Ah, shit.” I said and rubbed my face. “I don't want to tell her dad's still alive and he's trying to lure me back in to his scheme.”

“Heh, good luck trying to lie to her, kid. She's a bloodhound.”

I sighed, because he was right. “Can I change my mind? I'm not going, I swear.”

Cecil slapped me on the shoulder. “You're a terrible liar.”

“Dammit.” I groused. “I'll need a few hours to prepare and it'll give the tech people more time to pull some of the space ship apart to see how it ticks.”

“I'll let them know after you help them with the translations.” Cecil responded.

I walked over to the door and turned back to face him. “Thanks for trusting me with this.”

Cecil waved my thanks away. “You've been doing great up until now, kid. Giving you a chance to fix a future problem before it reaches Earth again? I can only pay you so much without bankrupting the government.”

I had to chuckle at that. “We make that back every time The Giant and I do a shift out in the asteroid fields.”

Cecil smirked and saluted me with his middle finger. I laughed and left the room to go to the hangar again. They really did need my help to tell them the names of everything and I was sue that Justine was going to do up a language primer as she asked me to spell everything out. I might get another cheek kiss out of her too, just because the other scientists had fun teasing her about it.

After working for over an hour and actually earning a cheek kiss for how much I had helped, I left the hangar and quickly found an out of the way spot that wasn't under surveillance, and stepped home to my bedroom. I stored my Invincible costume and equipped a normal set of clothes before going to my mom's room and knocked on the door.

“Mark? What's wrong?” Debbie asked right away.

I held in my sigh, because she knew I wouldn't wake her up if it wasn't important. I opened the door and she sat up, the blanket falling down to reveal she wore a sheer and practically see-through camisole. The slight chill of the air made her nipples harden and I couldn't help it as I glanced down at her breasts.

Debbie blushed at the attention and didn't try to cover herself up. By her thoughts, she knew I found her attractive and she didn't mind me looking. She had been feeling very sexy during the last few months with Atlas giving her regular infusions of his love and a lot more of his attention than Nolan ever did.

“Come in and sit. It must be important if you woke me up this late.” Debbie said as she pushed herself back to lean against the headboard, her words confirming my own thoughts about why she was immediately worried.

I walked over to the bed and her eyes dropped to my waist. Her blush didn't lessen when she saw the slight tent pole I had there and her thoughts were full of flattered feelings and need for a certain hero's attention as soon as possible. She didn't mention anything as she patted the bed beside her. I climbed onto the bed and sat where she wanted and leaned back against the headboard.

We sat there for several minutes as I thought about how I was going to tell her, then realized she was a grown woman and wouldn't want me to be wishy-washy about it or to couch it in qualifiers.

“A being that shouldn't exist approached me a short while after I went to bed...” I started and then told her everything that happened, even my talk with Cecil. I left nothing out, not even my thoughts about suspecting it was a ruse the whole time and how surprised I was that it was my dad that was behind it all.

Debbie had been silent as I talked and she stayed that way when I was finished. She looked straight forward as her hands made fists and then relaxed, then they repeated the motion. After another few minutes, she turned to me and her hands reached up to wrap around my neck and she pulled me into a tight hug. Her nipples poked my chest and I didn't say anything as I hugged her back and held on.

“Do you think you can do it?” Debbie asked me in a whisper.

“I know I can.” I answered. “I can save their planet from him, too.”

“Good.” Debbie said and eased her hold on me just enough to lean back and look into my eyes. “Don't back down. Don't let him talk. Don't allow him to convince you.”

“I know, mom.” I whispered.

“You might have lost last time; but, you drove him off. He's afraid of you now. He's afraid of what he feels when he sees you.” Debbie wisely said and I nodded. “Use it against him, Mark. Tell him that you know better... no, show him that you are better than him.”

I felt my emotions swirl and rise in answer to her words. “I will, I promise.”

Debbie smiled warmly and leaned in and lightly pecked me on the lips. “That's my boy.”

We stayed there and looked into each other's eyes for another few moments, then she leaned back against the headboard and pulled me over to let me lay down on her lap.

“When do you leave?” Debbie asked and petted my hair.

“A few hours. The techs are going over the ship as much as they can.” I answered.

Debbie hummed happily at having so much time to spend with me and kept petting me. We were both taking comfort from the simple activity and neither of us wanted her to stop until I had to leave.

Atlas finally finished getting the last dimensional coordinates for each of the thousand Earths that the Angstrums came from. He had also filled up the warehouse with living areas and beds with the help of five Eves. The one on the floor had stayed by his side and didn't falter once as she helped search through each dimension for the counterparts of the resistance members she used to know.

In fact, she seemed to gain more confidence as the search came to an end and she managed to move her legs on her own and sat up with the help of her dimension's Angstrum. He had a huge smile on his face, as did most of the other Angstrums, because there had been so many people near their families when they were rescued. The hugely expanded warehouse was barely big enough to house them all.

Atlas sat down beside Eve and she switched her hand from his bare ankle to his hand. “I need a break for a few minutes...”

“Hours. You need sleep after all of that.” Eve corrected and Angstrum nodded.

“Samantha...” Atlas started to protest.

“Like a few of the others said, they've survived for this long. A few more hours won't make much difference.” Eve told me. “Besides, I've seen the state of them all, too. Until you make another space to fit them in, there's no room left for anyone else.”

Atlas glanced around and had to agree. The place was packed and none of the rescued people seemed disturbed to have so many copies of themselves or seeing so many Angstrums. The bad part of all of that was the other local heroes had either been killed or joined up with the Viltrumites. It would take some investigation in each dimension to search the other cities for possible resistance members.

The other Eves came over to us when no one else appeared for them to settle and sat around Atlas and Eve, gave each other a look, then a walled divider formed around us to give us privacy. A door appeared in one of the walls and Eve and I were lifted up as a bed formed under us.

“Angstrum, we need some privacy.” The Eve that held my hand said.

Angstrum nodded and stood. “You've been doing good work and deserve a break.”

“There's a bunk bed just outside if you want to stay nearby.” Sam said.

Angstrum shook his head. “I have a few people I'd like to visit with before I can let myself sleep.”

Atlas held up a hand and gained the man's attention. “If you want, I can spend an hour in the morning looking at the closest dimensions for a Tisha that lost her Angstrum from natural causes.”

Angstrum looked surprised for a moment and then chuckled. “Of course you can do that.”

“It takes longer because I don't have proper coordinates or an energy signature to follow.” Atlas said. “I'll also be looking for a dimension you can all move to and can live your lives without anyone questioning why there are so many copies of you.”

Angstrum gave him a huge smile. “I'll pass that happy new around.”

Atlas and the Eves waved as he left and he shut the door. It disappeared and all six Eves gave Atlas a look full of desire and unrequited need.

“Samantha is first.” Atlas said and pulled Eve onto his lap. She gasped and moaned as he kissed her and his hands roamed over her back, arms, and legs. He caressed her all over and she dissolved her clothing into atoms as his fingers searched her down there, then they were inside of her and she cried out with pleasure and came hard.

The other five Eves exchanged looks again, then their clothes dissolved and their hands caressed and rubbed Eve all over, giving her more physical stimulation than she ever had, even before she had been paralyzed for months.

Eve moaned and cried as Atlas mounted her for the first time and she felt herself start to fall in love with him. He had saved her and he was treating her exactly like she wanted him to, then two of her counterparts locked their lips onto her hard nipples and another kissed her tenderly on the lips.

When she opened her eyes to see which one it was, she saw Atlas kissing another her and his hands were playing with her and the one kissing her.

“We've chosen well.” The last Eve named SP-One said and her head dropped down out of sight.

Eve gasped as she felt a tongue probe where Atlas was giving her the best pleasure. Atlas gasped next and he slowed down his movements to give her a chance to feel everything as much as she could. She felt her love grow in proportion to the care he gave her and she had to include her other selves. They were helping and then Atlas stiffened and she felt a deep warmth fill her up. Her eyes rolled up into the back of her head and she passed out from pleasure overload.

Atlas pulled out of her and he and the other Eves stopped what they were doing and smiled down at the beautiful smile on Samantha's face. They had given her the best time they could after her paralysis and they knew she would remember how it felt for a very long time.

“Mmm.” SP-One moaned and slipped her mouth over Atlas. He was still rock hard and he started thrusting again.

Sam moved Samantha aside and formed a protective barrier around her, then she and the others started working Atlas over. They had put off their own needs long enough and it was time for them to enjoy themselves with the man that had saved them and healed them.

Atlas didn't mind at all.

“We put everything back without changing anything.” Sinclair said as I approached the spaceship. He handed over a copy of their reports and I flipped through them to see how much they managed to figure out. “We've already mapped out a good portion of the power generator, thanks to those new sensors you helped us design. We have a few hints on how to try replicating it and will work on it while you're gone.”

I nodded and tucked the reports into my backpack. “I'll see if I can bring a few dozen of them back with me.”

Justine seemed to appear out of nowhere and kissed my cheek.

“What was that for?” I asked as the other scientists applauded and Sinclair chased them off of the ship.

“You like it.” Justine said with a knowing look and winked at me. “Good luck.” She said and walked off the ship. “Make sure you bring back more fun things for me to play with.”

Before I could joke about if she meant me or technology, the loading ramp closed. I chuckled and went to the pilot seat. I ran a diagnostic and a few of the components weren't sitting properly, so a liberal use of technopathy and telekinesis set everything back where it was supposed to be and repaired the connections.

The spaceship powered up and I checked the coordinates. They were the same, so I hit the sequence for the launch and to set the autopilot. The next six days would have been boring with nothing to do and I was glad that I had a ton of books in my inventory to read and relax with. It was just too bad my reading buddy couldn't join me.

My second stream of consciousness named Atlas woke up at the break of dawn with six very happy Eves cuddled around him. It was a dream come true for many men to be in the middle of a cuddle pile with beautiful women. That they happened to practically be the same woman was just a bonus. Why? Because they were fully accepting of what happened and weren't jealous of the others.

“Mmm.” One of the Eves hummed when she felt me grow hard. She adjusted herself and shuddered as she slid herself down onto me, then she started rocking her hips only just enough to move me in and out barely an inch. That was plenty enough for her to enjoy it and it didn't take long before she came and shuddered again.

Without a word, she slid off of me and another Eve moved into place on top of me and gave me a soft kiss and slid me inside of herself. She repeated the first's movements, barely any at all, and she soon came and needed a moment to recover. When she did, she moved off and another Eve took her place.

They were all starting to fully wake up by this point and we were soon having another orgy with mouths, tongues, and hands everywhere. The best part about it was that they knew the quickest ways to get each other off, since they were practically the same woman, and they were all very happy about it.

The last Eve was Samantha and she gave me a very tender and love-filled kiss as she rode me to completion. I filled her up and she moaned with fulfilled desire, her mind and heart focused solely on how I had kept my promise and how good I had made her feel.

We stayed there and cuddled for quite some time before one of the Eves mentioned having to get up to serve breakfast to the early risers. That gave the rest of us the motivation to get up as well, then we realized there were no showers in the bathroom stalls and no one could clean up, ourselves included.

“More work, some more work, and then we can play again.” I promised and they gave me warm smiles.

Eve formed a door in the wall and left the dividers up. It had become our spot and no one but us would be allowed inside. I would add a few things, not to mention expanding it a little and maybe adding an upstairs. We would need a living area and our own showers and bathrooms, too.

I dropped a couple thousand MREs for the Eves to work with to make breakfast for everyone and I went to the bathrooms and expanded them to add in shower stalls and transfigured large heated overhead water containers, just like I had made way back in The Walking Dead universe. With the recycling and filtering system it had, it would never have to be refilled or cleaned.

It didn't have to last long anyway. I just had to find an empty world or one where a natural disaster had removed the local population. Having existing structures would make things a lot easier, rather than having to build everything up from scratch. I would if I had to, though.

There was no way they could stay here for a lengthy period of time and I definitely needed a lot more room to house them when I went back to each of those dimensions and saved more people.
