Crossdressing To Survive An Apocalypse

Yue moved close. "I.. I have a second ability.... I'm scared he will try to experiment with me..."

Tian just blinked at him. "What second ability? I mean, how does that work? I've never heard you mention this before."

"it's not common. Only a few people in this world again a second ability. They are as rare as space ability users. I… I think I'm one of those rarities. It scares me, Tian. I know that I've always wanted to be strong, but being strong and standing out is two different things. My secondary awakened powers WILL make me stand out of the crowd," he played with the button on his sleeve.

Tian held his hands. "I'll make sure no one knows about it."

"Thank you," he glanced at his sister with a small smile. Never in thousand years did he imagine having a secondary ability..

He did wish for one for a very long time in his past life. That wish must have been granted in this life.

Even so… it was granted so soon into the apocalypse. It will really make him a target of envy and target of malicious people.

"It's going to be alright." Tian hugged him, patting his back soothingly. "So Tell me what is this miraculous ability."

"I think it's related to touch," he whispered close to her ear.

"touch? How does that work?" she curiously peered at him. Her small brown eyes seemed to shimmer, awaiting his answer.

"Well… when I touch a person.. I can copy their powers. I'm not sure how long I can use their powers or how powerful that ability might be, though." He added nervously. "I'm still new at it. Just discovered it today. Started having the symptoms days before….."

"Copying one's powers. That sounds amazing," she whispered back. "Listen don't tell anyone about this. If it got out, you might be in danger, especially in the hands of that darn Prisitsky,"

"I know. His moral grounds are non existing… I fear Qian too. Trexa is special. He might want to take her back," he pulled his darling pet out of his sister's pocket and caressed her smooth fur.

Trexa happily laid n his palm with her limbs flayed out and her big tummy jiggling.

"she used to be a test subject," he whispered. "she somehow escaped the labs from g city. I have no clue how butt she even came to s city. I found her under a dumpster. Reminded me of my darling la Trexa. She has the same white mark on her belly," he gently kissed her small paws.

"Squeal~" Trexa looked at him with her eyes half close.

"to others she might be just a rat. But to me she is family," he took a deep breath, holding back his tears. "For two years she was my only comfort, my warm hug in winter. We never had much to eat but she would always scrounge food for me from eth gutters. It smelt awful, but I would eat it. Kept my tummy full."

Tears started rolling down. He hurriedly wiped them away.

"I fear I might not be able to protect her or myself, for that matter. Tian,…. I…I'm weak, I'm very weak." He hugged the cute fur ball close to his face, hiding his tear-stained cheeks.

His tears were pathetic. He gained a new ability, yet here he was sobbing like a pig…

It was all fear that broke him…and Prisitsky's cold countenance. He did not even flinch when he said that he would dissect that poor zombie for the good of mankind.

One day, he might do the same to anyone he meets. Alive or not, he can easily use the sentence for the good of the mankind to hurt anyone he wanted.

That's exactly what he did last life before he disappeared. He kidnapped a person… no one knows who the victim was, but he was safely retrieved.

A person like that would do anything for science. Including using his friends and loved ones.

If one day..one day he discovers about his ability and Trexa's ability, he might try to hurt them. If course he could fight back. but how many can he fight?

If a whole base joined hands to support Prisitsky's cause, then…. Then he would have no way to live.

A warm hand gently cupped his face. Tian peered into his eyes. "Don't let the fear overtake you, let it become your strength,"

"huh?"

"You fear being captures correct, then use that fear to train yourself harder. Use it to become stringer. The ability you have is miraculous. You were gifted an ability many others dream to have. Find a way to use it to its full potential."

Yue sniffled softly. "That sounded poetic, but I have no clue what to do to overcome my fear."

Tian rolled her eyes. "Train your powers in secret."

"What if my powers are exposed to the public? I mean I can't stay without touching others. At one point someone will discover my anomaly."

"ah ha! I've got something for that," Tian pulled off her coat and started to search through the various pockets. "I've got it here somewhere… where is it… I asked Juda to put it right here…"s he mumbled.

"what do you need?"

Tian sighed. "Bandages,"

"I've got bandages," Yue easily took it out of his coat pocket.

"Great,"' Tian gently wound it around his fingers. "your powers activate only if you touch someone. So.. this can prevent it from being discovered for a while. It can't be hidden for long. Before that, you need to grow stronger."

She hugged him close with a bright smile. "plus your sister is here. I won't let anyone lay their hands on my precious little boy,"

Yue chuckle hugging her back. tears overflowed, dripping onto her coat. "Fan has already laid his hands on me," he jokingly whispered.

"Not a word. If I hear any more details, I might be tempted to give him a vasectomy," Tian mumbled, patting his back.

"Wow so mean…"

The warm hug took away all the anxiety he was holding in.

He peered at his bandage wrapped palm. 'I have a strong ability.. Now I have to learn to harness it to become the most powerful person. So that I can protect the ones I love,'
