Nilima Has A Lot To Learn (Pt 1)

“Nilima.” Nilima nervously told Skorn.

Skorn smiled as he got off the bus with Nilima. “That’s a pretty name.” He told her. “I’m Skorn.” He waved over a young man. “Joel! Hey kiddo!”

Joel had been following a female meta who had promised him a snack in her room containing peanut butter when his ears perked up “Skorn” he happily shouted before running up to them.

Skorn pulled Joel into a hug and sneakily gave the girl the middle finger. She huffed and walked off. “Are you trusting perverted girls again?” He asked. “Oh, this is Nilima, she’s new!”

Joel nodded not understanding what he meant before looking at Nilima “hi I'm Joel”

“Hi.” Nilima said, scared half to death.

“We should get you to medical so they make sure you’re okay.” Skorn told Nilima. “We can go to the nursery after so you can be with your friend, Taw. That’s her name, right? I heard that guy call her that.” He looked at Joel then. “Where’s Nine?”

“I don’t need medical attention!” Nilima said quickly, alarmed. Quasim was the only medical attention she ever knew, and she would rather lick her wounds than go through that again.

“Hey, hey, hey,” Skorn held up his hands. “It’s okay. They aren’t gonna do anything to ya.”

Joel approached her with puppy eyes “You're safe here they help people here.”

It was safe in Amihan too, she just had to have sex with men she didn't want to. “I’m not hurt, I’m not sick, I’m okay and don’t need any help or medical.” Nilima insisted.

“Can you come with me then for my checkup?” He asked “usually Riven does but he's out on a mission.”

Skorn looked at Nilima. “He’s just a kid,” He told her. “Would you abandon a kid?”

“He’s not my kid.” Nilima said, grimacing. This ‘kid’ looked to be her age. “I’m not going anywhere near medical.”

“You need to,” Skorn said with a sigh and easily picked her up. “Don’t be a baby.” He said, carrying her to medical where the nurses and doctors stared at him with discontent.

“Seriously, Skorn?” One of them scoffed. “How many girls do you hit on?”

“I don’t hit anything.” Skorn frowned and set Nilima down on a bed. “Make sure she’s not sick or anything.”

A nurse rolled her eyes. “Shoo, you nuisance.”

Skorn pouted. “You’re just made because I didn’t like you.”

“Of course, you butt face!”

“I’m not a butt face.”

“He is. Don’t listen to him.” The nurse whispered to Nilima and gently checked her pulse. No clothes were being removed.

Nilima jumped off the bed. She activated her powers, turning down the temperature in the room until it was freezing. “I’m FINE! I don’t need any medical help!”

Everyone began to shiver.

“Stop that. We don’t use our powers on each other here,” Skorn said, seeming unbothered by the freezing temperature.

No one was even trying to get near her now.
