"She is a lovely woman with the ability to heal just with a smile," said Alfred. Kelsey was surprised by the computer man's heartfelt comment.
Alfred continued with the story telling her about the nano-bots and how they finally discovered some severe damage in the boys' brain.
Robert told her that it was from his father breaking the boy's skull when the mother apparently thought that he was masturbating in the shower.
Kelsey cried out he didn't even know what it meant, even now he is not very good at it. Her face was a contorted mask of anger and Sandy quickly hugged her to soothe her temper.
The damage caused to the boy's brain would have gone undetected except for the nano-bots Alfred informed them. Eventually he probably would have died of a severe aneurysm within a few months of being in hospital. With the damage being repaired it triggered a transformation and his body healed and grew to what it should have been.
Neither Kelsey or Alfred mentioned the alien entity in Sydney's body. They had exchanged glances as Alfred had paused before mentioning the growth in Sydney's brain.
It was an amazing experience Kelsey recalled watching him just thicken and grow taller. "He grew into what I imagined him to be in my fantasies if I had been his mother."
"Actually," interrupted Alfred, "you may not be too far off the mark Kelsey. Sydney is very empathetic with you. The genetic composition in his body suggested at the time that he had telepathic abilities, which we know now he has, so they may have been reading your fantasies to create something that was very close to being what he saw was what you wanted."
Kelsey looked shocked as Alfred continued. "Sydney has gone through more changes. Not as dramatic as the first one, but he works hard on his body, his mind and his abilities. Goodness knows that when Cue --"
"No Alfred!" interrupted Kelsey, "Not that yet."
Alfred blinked at her then said, "Ok then well as I was saying he works hard at it, actually he makes everyone work hard to keep up with him. The harem is amongst the fittest women that I know, and Mrs Kelleher is going really well also and she is just his housekeeper.
"There is something about being around the man that just makes you want to be better! Even Patrick has taken up walking again. I even find myself jogging around my space in here and I don't have a body!"
There were loud chuckles at his comment.
Kelsey said, "It is true though. I never worked out much, but since Sydney came along and Jenny was born I just feel like I want to have a flat belly, tight buns and I want to be able to run and jump." She reddened slightly and said, "Most of all I need to have the energy to keep up with him in bed!"
Alfred sighed, Moira and Sandy found it extremely human, and they exchanged glances. The green man spoke again, "I have seen the man in bed with all of you. Seen you all panting and puffing and going to sleep then he goes running. The only time his heart rate goes up is when he is banging the lot of you, his heart barely registers in anything else!"
Robert whistled very impressed. "Yes Robert don't think you are going to be too close to him in the sprinting after tonight though," Alfred continued.
Moira asked the question that didn't seem to getting closer to an answer. "So what about all the food he ate tonight, what was that all about! Goodness he ate enough for eight people!"
Alfred explained that when Sydney goes through changes in his body it consumes a lot of energy, a huge amount. So in preparation his body does two things: one it sleeps, then two it eats everything it can. Now that the man had gone to sleep again there was going to be another feeding frenzy in the morning.
"So why did he sleep so long today?" asked Sandy.
Kelsey suggested that this had happened before when Sydney slept after getting out of hospital. "It's like his mind needed the body to sleep to process everything and I suspect organise all the successes. When he came out of hospital it was like he won a battle finally getting out of there. Goodness he slept for 15 hours the first time and then ate like a horse and then for two days the next time. It's like he burns up then slows down, grows or changes, then we are off to the next cycle! On the final change, the one that sort of cemented him altogether he slept for three days. After that he was in control, as if he was totally whom he needed to be. It seems that he still hasn't undergone all the changes yet."
"Exactly," said Alfred, "and I don't know how long it is going to continue until he reaches his full powers, that is if he ever does!"
"Can I see him?" asked Moira.
Kelsey wasn't sure but told her to be ready for anything as she led her to the brightly lit bedroom followed by Robert and Sandy.
Sydney was naked on the bed and had obviously kicked the covers off at some time. His skin had a definite tightness about it and as they watched it glowed a soft green.
"What?" cried Moira.
"This is nothing. Last time it was bright green almost too bright to look at," murmured Kelsey.
As the group watched there was a soft crack and the skin split across his chest and stomach. His legs gave a small twitch as they too cracked the outer skin that fell from the man's body revealing a tanned and smooth surface beneath.
Moira made to move toward the bed and Alfred's voice stopped her. "Don't touch him! We want the 'bark' uncontaminated. Also the last time someone tried to touch Sydney when he was changing got an awful big fright. His mind seems to watch over him to make sure nothing interferes.
"Which reminds me Moira, I have arranged for the pick-up of the bedding tomorrow is that alright?"
Moira nodded, a little stunned but fascinated by the changes occurring in front of her to the man's body.
Sydney's penis grew pointing hard and straight towards the ceiling. It was the biggest that Kelsey had ever seen it grow. Once it swelled to a length of some half a metre the skin cracked and the surrounding cover fell away revealing a thick rod of flesh topped by a reddish coloured head.
"My goodness Alfred I certainly hope Jennifer is right about him being able to control that thing else his days of banging my arse are gone!" said Kelsey in awe of the monstrous cock in front of her.
Moira said, "Alfred are you sure I just can't have that bit. I could get a plaster mould made of it and sell them as Whirlwind's cock!"
The group giggled hysterically.
"If you and Kelsey pack and label it correctly I will have Jo retrieve it and do exactly that after they take some samples," came the casual reply.
The women high-fived. Robert said, "I suggest you may need to get a photograph of him to prove that it is that big before someone sues you for false advertising!"
Kelsey and Sandy assured her that they could arrange that too.
The group left as the transformation continued after Kelsey asked Alfred if he was Ok with continuing to record without anyone there. Smugly he replied that he had already taken over the computer systems in the motel not long after Sydney had arrived.
Moira looked at him and said, "So what does that mean?"
"I have access to all the bedroom cameras, in particular the six present in the master bedroom."
Moira was fuming when she asked him to tell her how the hell cameras were installed through the bedroom of the penthouse suite. When Alfred informed her that there were cameras in every bedroom, living area, shower and dining room throughout the whole motel she went ballistic.
Calmly he told her that he had disabled the programs that were sending them to some company called "Motel Dreams" and simply now used the cameras to track where people interesting to him were. She was still not happy but when Alfred told her that "Motel Dreams" seemed to have had a serious computer malfunction that destroyed every vid that they had ever recorded. Not just from her motel but also a significant number of others throughout New Zealand. The news calmed the motel manager.
Kelsey said to her, "I would have a chat to Thelma about it." She gave the woman her number.
"Thelma? Blonde haired woman, green eyes, quite a stunner?" she asked.
Kelsey, Sandy and Robert nodded. "I had a very interesting proposition from her this afternoon. Seems she wants a manager to go to Townsville to set up a few motels and other accommodation. She is offering quite a lot of money to do it as well!"
Robert held out his hand and said, "Welcome aboard!"
Moira looked at him coyly and said, "I haven't said I have accepted it yet."
She looked at his hand still held out to her and shook it. "But I gave my notice this evening before I came back here!" she yelled bouncing up and down on the spot.
"Well in that case Moira meet your new boss," said Sandy as she held out her hand to the woman.
In the hours that followed the group discussed the plans and ambitions of the underground city project. Kelsey watched Moira get misty eyed over the plight of the mutant exiles and the women living there that had been victims of Project BF. She was almost impatient to get up there and get started. When she was told that Sydney was the instigator of the project she sat heavily into the lounge chair. "I should have guessed, the man cannot help himself when people are in trouble can he?"
The group around her shook their heads. Kelsey said, "You don't have to say goodbye to him now."
Moira burst into tears and Sandy thought. He is going to have a thousand women in his harem by the time he is finished.
They decided that they would need to sleep. Kelsey and Moira folded out the bed from the lounge and insisted that they would be fine when Robert gallantly offered his space in bed with Sandy. The women shooed him off and soon all slept snuggled into each other.
When Kelsey awoke it was after 7:00 am and Moira's eyes opened as she attempted to move gently in order to get up without waking her.
"I already checked him Kelsey still sound as," Moira whispered.
Kelsey still got up and went to the bedroom and seeing that he was still asleep used the toilet and returned to see if there was any pizza left. A knock on the door was answered by Moira and a woman in overalls stood with a large container in a plastic bag in the doorway. Moira told her it might be a while before it was ready and the woman passed her a card and said to ring when they were ready.
Wheeling the container into the bedroom Moira returned to find Kelsey ordering some tea and breakfast for four. She passed the intercom phone to Moira when she beckoned and the woman issued instructions to cook roast, vegetables enough to feed eight ready to come up to the room on a moment's notice. Desserts were also thrown into the order and a huge urn of tea. "Hopefully that will get him topped up," she grinned as she hung up.
Breakfast arrived not long after the high pitched squeals of Sandy and the low growls of Robert abated. Kelsey and Moira had had to go out onto the balcony to cool their bodies down after listening to the pair for the last twenty minutes.
The two women gave the pair a hard time as they ate breakfast telling them that they should have been more considerate of their poor neglected bodies that were waiting for the man in the other bedroom to wake up. Robert jokingly suggested that they would have been welcome to join them. He was confused when Kelsey said that she wasn't sure he wanted them to contribute to any more wet spots.
Sandy giggled but Robert still wasn't sure what it meant.
Moira also pointed out that he had said that they, pointing at Kelsey and Sandy weren't going to get any until he got an explanation for something. Robert said, "I didn't have a choice this morning!"
Conversation ended when a muffled voice called out, "Kel can you come and help me!"
Kelsey raced to the bedroom crying out, "Don't move Syddy!" She saw that he hadn't and was lying quite still in the middle of the bed with skin peeled off and laying all around his body. His face seemed strange and Kelsey realised that he looked as if he had a mask on.
The three donned the rubber gloves that had come with the container and gently removed long lengths of his skin as Moira carefully retrieved the pieces that had fallen of his penis, that now seemed to be quite normal as it lay flaccid between his legs. Kelsey also retrieved the skin that had not quite fallen away from his testicles and laughing said to Moira put these in there too, Jo and Thelma will love a replica.
Sydney said, "Not Thelma, she has already threatened to make them into pendants for her ears a couple of times already."
They finally cleared most of him and Kelsey reached for the mask on his face and was very sad when it appeared that all of Sydney's beautiful hair came with it.
Finally she got him to kneel up, peeled the skin from his back, buttocks and the back of his legs, and left them on the bed. She ran her fingers over him as did Sandy as they checked for any more loose skin. Satisfied they sent him off to the shower after carefully getting him out the bed. Moira and Sandy wrapped the sheets up into a neat bundle and sealed it as instructed then put the lot in the container.
Moira rang the collection company as Kelsey helped Sydney in the shower.
Sydney let the hot water wash over his body as Kelsey got in with him and scrubbed his back, neck and shoulders. Between the two of them he was clean and as Kelsey washed and handled his equipment he was momentarily concerned that he didn't respond to her attention. She swatted him on the bum as she finished telling him that between his hunger and his new growth he would have to wait until he satisfied one and got used to the other before he could start worrying about anything like that.
Sydney grinned and allowed her to dry him thoroughly. He saw her little pout as she wiped his now bald head and said, "Can you go and make sure some breakfast is coming, I am starving!" Reluctantly she let him usher her out of the room taking the towel off her as she left.
Sydney looked into his mind examining the changes that had occurred and was amazed that he did so with ease. His focus of attention to his mind map was sharp and he quickly peeked around his map to see who was doing what.
The majority of them were asleep but Kelsey's light burned brightly and he couldn't help but pull it towards him to pass her a little message of love. Stopping short of sending her a wicked thought he suddenly saw that she was crying a little inside and gently examined her fears. Suddenly he laughed at what was upsetting her and dropped all thoughts of sending a message. Composing himself in front of the mirror he set about changing a few things.
He cast his mind out around the room and the feelings he got back from the four people outside set him to chuckling and he made a few more changes. Looking in the mirror in the bathroom, he mentally checked the next room and found no-one was there. However, he could smell meat and vegetables in the next room and tentatively asked Alfred if there was anyone else besides his four friends in the room. Alfred was suspicious and said, "No what are you up to Sydney?"
"Never mind my friend just going to show off a bit!"
He stepped out into the living area and yelled, "Ta dah!" The reactions of the four people were priceless and he found it very hard to control the mirth that threatened to bubble out from him as he looked at their faces.
"My goodness Sydney what the hell happened?" gasped Robert.
Kelsey stood looking at her lover and then started to laugh. "You are a child!" she giggled.
Sydney was standing naked in the room. His hair was down to his bum, his body covered in hairy curls including his groin from which sprouted a penis of enormous size and his scrotum hung almost to his knees.
Moira's phone flashed at almost the same time as Sandy's as they too began giggling.
"Sydney, Jennifer already told us that you could control some of your body characteristics so we are not buying that you have suddenly turned into a yeti!" laughed Sandy.
"Bummer," said Sydney, "Bloody woman knows everything!" He stomped back into the bedroom and re-emerged a few minutes later dressed and looking as he normally did.
Kelsey kissed his forehead as he sat at the table ruffling his hair then gave the errant lock a flick out of his eyes. "Eat!" she commanded, "You have training in two hours."
Sydney ate, though not as much as the previous evening. He skipped the cheesecake and only drank six cups of tea. They filled him in on the events of the previous evening and Alfred replayed the details that Jennifer gave them in the vid conference.
"Hey Alfred how come you can't pick up Jenny's aura when she becomes the goddess?" asked Sydney delicately eating a caramel tartlet.
The screen changed and Alfred replayed the scene but this time in an ultra violet hue. Sandy, Robert and Moira gasped as the little girl seemed to be now surrounded by a blue glow that stood almost a full metre taller and was definitely in the shape of a woman.
"That's the best I can do Sydney," complained Alfred, "there just doesn't seem to be enough there to pick up with anything else and believe you me I have tried every wavelength I can find!"
"So have you tried it on me?" Sydney asked.
The screen flickered and then showed Sydney eating. Alfred changed his filters and the blue glow around Sydney was just visible. The man closed his eyes for a moment and the glow began to expand until what looked like a gigantic man sat at the table eating.
The three who had not been looking but rather concentrating on the screen turned at last towards Sydney.
Kelsey said, "Now this would have been a better shock than that stunt you tried a little while ago young man!"
Sydney grinned at the startled faces as they perceived his warrior visage. Fierce eyes glared back at them and his arm seemed to have a gigantic shield attached while his outstretched right arm held a long wicked looking sword. He playfully popped the buttons on Sandy's top with his sword exposing the woman's heaving chest as he used the sword to push her top open.
"Don't cut me with it please," the woman gasped in a frightened, almost terrified whisper. Sydney instantly dropped the persona and gathered the woman up in his arms as she sobbed.
"I am so sorry Sandy," he said holding her close. "I didn't know, please, please forgive me," he murmured into her cheek as his tears fell against her mixing with the woman's own.
He lifted his hand gently to her temple and stroked her calmly until her tears ceased. Blinking her eyes as she looked at him softly. "You were not to know Sydney, no-one knows."
"I can take the memory away for good if you wish," he whispered to her and she stared at him in terrified hope.
He pressed his fingers gently to each side of her face his thumbs resting against her temples and stared into her eyes holding her gaze for long minutes. She sighed and then her eyes closed as his did then re-opened.
She smiled and said, "You have such wonderful eyes and warm hands Sydney. Why is my top undone and where are the buttons?"
The people around the room stood in open mouthed shock as Sydney suggested that she had tried to strip her shirt off to replace it with a Whirlwind T-shirt. They had been having a bit of a giggle as she had forgotten that she had buttons so when she tried to pull it off too fast popped them on the floor. She grinned, "Silly me!" Kelsey passed a T-shirt over that Sandy put on after she removed the remnants of her blouse.
Sydney resumed his seat and Alfred harrumphed. "You and I need to have a chat Sydney," then he was gone.
"Ok let's get this show on the road," said Robert giving Sydney a meaningful look that the man acknowledged with a little nod.
