BXBX NOVEL Chapter 336 Mr. Panther!
"So, what did your dad want?" Cancer asked.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair before sitting down on the bed as the five others just stared at us. "He wanted to talk me out of going to the Mortal Realm to kill Xena."
"And what did you say to that?" Cancer asked, and I shrugged.
"I told him that I wasn\'t going to try and kill her," I said plainly, and Cancer nodded her head in approval before looking over at the Winds of Change.
"What are you going to do now?" Cancer asked, looking at the five Winds of Change.
"That is a very good question. I am not really sure yet," I said as I scratched my beard.
"What do you mean you are not sure?!" Fate demanded, and I narrowed my eyes.
"First of all, you are not a girl. Next, I am in the middle of something right now in the mortal realm, and I can\'t just have randoms showing up that I have to make a new backstory for. You are all going to have to wait until I am done dealing with things Around Torrain, and then I will come and get you. I have a Blood Witch coming that wants to shit in my breakfast flakes, so there is no way I am going to bring you five with me right now. Once I am done, then I will be able to bring you to Eliza\'s manor in Northwall," I explained, and Karma nodded.
"That does make sense, and we can wait for you. When you return for us, Murphy and my bother with look different, so you don\'t have to worry about them," Karma said with a cute smile that made me want to kiss her, but I didn\'t want to upset Fate anymore today. The fact that he was going to come to the Mortal Realms was a bonus to me because they would lose a good portion of their power coming down. That way, I could piss him off a bit more without him getting too much revenge on me.
"How long do you think it will take?" Luck asked, coming over to me as I stood up. She took one of my hands and then rubbed it, and I felt a warm electric feeling before she winked and let it go.
"Four or five days, maybe a week, but no more. There is a lot going on, but I just need to figure out a system that works and slam it into place in all the villages at the same time," I explained as I patted Luck\'s head of orange hair, and she giggled as she left me and went back to Destiny who had been hiding behind Karma, staring at me.
"Good! Try not to take too long. I hate to listen to Fate complain and then to have Murphy give his fatalistically cheerful monologue after!" Luck complained, but Murphy just shrugged.
"This is clearly a bad idea that someone is going to regret; I just hope to see it when it happens," He said, but everyone ignored him.
"Alright, I need to get back, but does this mean that I have all my powers back?" I asked as I coated my fingers in galactic claws as easy as breathing, but this was here, not the Mortal Realm.
"Yes, but you will still be limited to how much you can draw, but you will have access to most of your abilities, but the stronger ones that could be dangerous to the realm are still out of your reach," Karma explained, and I nodded. That made sense because I could use my claws to tear space-time to go back to different points in time, but it could cause catastrophic effects. Things like the collapse of an entire dimension.
"Good, now I need to go figure out what is going on back at home," I said as I walked towards the door, but first, I kissed Cancer. "Don\'t worry; everything will be okay."
Cancer nodded with a smile on her face, and I turned to look at the Winds of Change. "Four or five days, maybe a week. That is all I need."
And with that, I waved, and Astral Highway opened and sucked me down into the rainbow tube as I was pulled back to my body where Olivia was waiting. She looked at me, and then the floor, and then frowned at me.
"Was that really it? You went there and back in a blink? What happened?!" Olivia asked in a rush, but I just grinned and gestured to the side.
An Astral Portal opened to Tallia back in bed with all her cat gear back on, but she slapped her book shut as soon as she saw me grinning.
"Just because you can do it doesn\'t mean you need to keep bothering me!" Tallia complained as I walked through and then went over to lean down and give her a kiss.
"I just got back," I said, and Tallia rolled her eyes.
"You also just left minutes ago," Tallia retorted, so I kissed her again.
"You were the first person that I wanted to see," I said, and Tallia blushed ever so slightly and then finally kissed me back.
"Now get out, and stop flashing my private life off to people!" Tallia snapped as she pushed me back, and I left, chuckling back to the inn room where Olivia was waiting.
"So you have your powers back now?" Olivia asked as the portal closed, and I nodded.
"Mostly, but I don\'t have access to my stronger abilities. Still, this is going to help a lot going forward!" I said as I went over and kissed Olivia passionately and then started pulling her to the door, but she stopped me.
"Hold on, Mr. Panther! You need to change how you look, and me!" Olivia said and laughed as I let go of her hand and changed us back to Leafa and Rosie. I kind of wanted to reveal myself, but that was getting ahead of myself. I needed to find these cultists and demonesses and start closing in on them, but Xena was here to mess with that.
