Fernando
|
After a few moments, Fernando and his daughters arrive to the main control room by teleportation, as are the others do by other means - i.e. walking. They gather a few feet from Fernando and his group. With most of them there, Fernando steps up to them.
"Now, for lack of a better word - people, I need to check on a few things but I will be back. During your peaceful evacuation of this lunar base, my daughters will oversee your actions and they are as capable of the same actions as I. But note this, I am aware of your star ship hiding in the Moon's shadow. If you guys like working in the dark, that is fine by me but you are never to set hand or foot into this base without permission any more." Fernando tells them. Then he holds up his hand, counting down from three, then two, then one. In a flash of light he is gone.
Two bodies slient thud against the ground besides the mutant hater. The mutant hater turns to see his two guards on the ground, only to have his hair grabbed and pulled back from behind.
"How about picking a fight with somebody your size?" A large intimidating male wearing a New York Emergency Medical Services jacket tells him as he twists The mutant hater's hair and bend it back backwards before putting a large caliber pistol to his nose. "You got a problem with picking on little girls, you got a problem with me." Eventually, the mutant hater is pulled and twisted enough to lose his balance and fall to the ground. A foot is placed onto the Adam's Apple of his neck and the gun aimed to his face. "Name's Fernando, from the New York Emergency Medical Corps. I know what is on your mind - New York was destroyed long ago. Don't listen to the rumors of time, you dumb idiot. It's still there because I'm still here. You need to understand one thing - people are people no matter what they are, what the color of their skin or eyes, what they eat, or what ability they have. Even the Lord of Salvation had powers and abilities more than mere men and they hunted him down, killing the Son of God. You dare call the Son of God a mutant? Now you have a choice, accept us as who we are as people of the human race or your soul can kneel down before god begging for forgiveness. Which one shall it be?"
The mutant hater struggles with Fernando's foot against his neck. Fernando slowly puts away his gun and steps off the mutant hater's neck, taking a couple steps back. The mutant hater sits up, grabbing at his throat and coughs. Fernando grabs him by the arm and pulls him onto his feet, whispering into his ear, "You're afraid of a little girl who can bring on a little cold and ice? I lay waste to this land by having the sun rise up from the west and burn this place to the scorched ground, and there is nothing you or your god damned spirits are going to about it. Lucky for you, she is scared and ran away so I got to find her but let me tell you to go in peace so you can go home and be with your loving family. But if you go out to hurt another person, I will be back to give you nothing but pain and death. Understand what I am telling you?"
The mutant hater nods his head nervously. Fernando gives him a hard shove forward, making him stumble on his feet.
"Now leave. I don't want to see your face ever again." Fernando tells him. The mutant hater runs away. Fernando looks around and surmises where Elsa may have went, and with the help of a couple of gadgets he picked up at the Lunar Base, quickly finds her. He teleports behind her where she was with the Spirit Wolf.
"Elsa! Get Over Here!" Fernando calls to her.
Looking at him, Elsa stands where she is with the Wolf Spirit.
"Elsa! I Said To Get Over Here!" Fernando calls to her one more time.
Elsa looks at the Wolf Spirit who nods and then at Fernando. Together they slowly walk over to him.
"Elsa, you forgot what I told you?" Fernando tells her.
"Told me?" Elsa asks.
"Remember." He tells her.
"I can't remember." She says.
"You are not a monster. Stupid adults who think they are doing the right thing but are actually doing things for themselves to look good in front of others like that idiot mutant hater are the real monsters. All children are innocent." He tells her.
The Wolf Spirit whispers something into Elsa's ear. Elsa whispers something back before they nod at each other.
"Did you hurt that man?" Elsa asks of Fernando.
"I wanted too but I didn't, for I am not a monster. And neither are you." Fernando answers.
"If I am not a monster, then what am I?" Elsa asks.
Fernando looks at her for a while and then at the Wolf Spirit before approaching her and answering, "A person who is a human being with powers and abilities unlike everyone else." He kneels down before her to be at her level, taking her gloved hands as he continues his soliloquy, "Everyone has a power or ability that sets them apart above others. Thing is, many do not see their ability develop because they get lazy and never practiced their ability, so it dies within them. Others, like you, me, and several others, do practice their abilities. Yes, practice. You may not know it, but it being cold like it is around you, is you practicing your power though you may not know it. In time and with practice, you will be able to do wonderful things with this gift of yours."
"Gift? It is a curse!" Elsa says.
"It is a curse because you yet understand how it works, but one day you will. Perhaps one day soon. Could be days or could be years. It depends on you, Elsa." Fernando explains.
"Then, what is your power?" Elsa asks.
"It has to do with Time and how it is seen. And for me here and now I see things are wrong but can not figure out why. I'll figure it out and try to fix it somehow." Fernando explains.
"Fix it?" Elsa asks.
"Fix it. Let me say that Time is nothing more than a bunch of things called 'events' that are supposed to happen one after the other. But if something goes wrong with one event the others will not happen as they are supposed to." Fernando explains.
"Like what?" Elsa asks.
"Like you, lets say. One day you being the pretty little girl that you are will become a beautiful woman when you grow up. That is if everything happens as it should. If not, and something bad happens to you, you may never become that beautiful woman you will one day grow up to be." He explains.
"You think I'm beautiful?" Elsa asks.
"In a way you are. But more importantly, you are a pretty girl who one day will grow up to be that beautiful woman. That is why I want you to understand that you are not a monster. You will have accidents with your power that does not make you a monster. You may have to freeze somebody who is going to harm another that does not make you a monster though they are the monsters in harming others. Understand what I am telling you?"
Elsa gives a slight nod.
"Good." Fernando says before slowly getting up. He looks at the Spirit Wolf, "Long time no see. Worst, yet what are you doing here? You are far away from home."
Elsa, though wanting to say something, does not.
"I'm here for her because nobody is willing to take care of her." The Wolf Spirit says.
"Jeanette is supposed to take care of her while I was gone. Where is she?" He asks.
"How was it said during your time? Oh yes, 'she's out shopping.'" The Wolf Spirit answers.
"Figures. I'm going to tell her off when I see her." Fernando says.
"Don't." The Wolf Spirit tells him, adding, "That will be my responsibility. But you need to answer as to why you left in the first place."
"I found those crow spirits to be an interfering threat so I had to deal with them." He tells her.
"Those crow spirits are interfering but they are not a threat." The Wolf Spirit says.
"Their interference ends as far as I care. They were caught in my Moon Base without permission. Knowing what I have up there, they could take over the universe." He tells her.
"The universe is not what they want. Rather, this corner of it. By that I mean, remember that round mechanical devices your people had some 50 years ago that goes about sweeping and mopping your floors? Sometimes they get stuck in a corner trying to clean that corner. That is what the crow spirits are doing - stuck in this corner trying to clean it." The Wolf Spirit says.
"I really do not care. They are crossing lines that should not be crossed. They have definitely crossed the line with me several times." He tells her.
"Let me have a talk with them. At least you can trust me." The Wolf Spirit says.
"I barely trust you, but I'll give them that one chance. I do not want to see them; I do not want to hear them. They want to put on a show; they can go make a circus. I want nothing to do with them." Fernando tells her.
"I'll see what I can do. Just understand that I do not control them, they have their own free will." The Wolf Spirit says.
"That is not a problem for you to deal with." Fernando says to her.
"And I will talk to Jeanette." The Wolf Spirit says.
"Just leave a few pieces for me to yell at. I know how you Wolves can be - eat everything in sight before anyone else can." Fernando tells her.
"I think you're trying to make a joke." The Wolf Spirit says.
"If I was making a joke, I would tell you about the horse that walks into a bar and yells 'Ouch!'" He tells her.
"I still do not get that joke. Why would a horse walk into a bar? Didn't it see the bar?" the Wolf Spirit points out.
"Never mind. You taking Elsa or should I?" He says and asks.
"I'll be taking care of Elsa for now. She will be returned to you all later on." The Wolf Spirit says.
"Good. I'll be by my electric camper." He tells her, throwing in, "See you later."
The Wolf Spirit nods before Fernando disappears in a flash of light.
Fernando ends up by the Electric Camper, waiting in its shade for the others to return.
Another flash of light appears near him.
"Hello Daddy." The young woman next to him says.
"I'm not happy with you, Miss. Aiesha G." He tells her.
"Look, you told me long ago that we will not agree on many things. This is one of them." Aiesha tells him. She then holds out a paper bag to him, "Here, you are going to need this."
"What is this?" Fernando takes the bag and goes through its contents. He finds a few girl things, including a light blue nylon two-piece bikini bathing suit, some hair clips and rubber ties, and a box kit of Lice Shampoo. He then says, "Jeanette is supposed to get these things."
"She's out shopping, so she's going to screw it up as far as you see it and this will make up for it." Aiesha explains, adding as she hands over another larger bag, "Also, here."
Fernando takes the bag and finds a few things, a pair of sneakers, sox, a couple of skirts, polo shirts and girls underwear of Macey's size. He thinks.
"I swear." He says.
"It is not that Jeanette is going to screw up her shopping for Macey. She believes there are other things are needed and she is giving them a higher priority." Aiesha tells him.
"I'll deal with it when she comes back." He tells her as he puts the bags behind the driver's seat of the electric camper. He throws in, "And when I get home, your pretty little pecan tan ass is mine for the spanking. You do not every go against me, even though you do disagree with me. Things do need to be done and you were not there to help out."
"Yeah, you can spank me when you get home. But Rachel and the others are done with clearing out the moon base. I was not needed." She tells him.
Fernando lets out a frustrated sigh.
"You need to deal with Jeanette and the others. So I'll end it here. Bye daddy!" Aiesha says before disappearing in a flash of light.
"I swear..." Fernando says to himself.
He patiently waits for the others to arrive.
