The hivemind is conquering for me?

With my arms folded, I watched as the six men started walking over towards me. In contrast with how he spoke to the receptionist, the leader of the group lowered his voice and had a slight grow to it as he barked. "Hey dye job, are you the bitch who was been causing trouble?"

Undeterred by my height, the man walked up and put his chest up against mine in an attempt at intimidation. "Jeez Kathrine where do you find these people." I muttered causing the man to continue to act tough. "The fuck did you just say to me you little shit?" He poked my chest as he said that, which I did not appreciate.

"I said I am here to see Kathrine, she is expecting me soon so can someone go inform her that Archon Apollo is here before you all lose your jobs please. Also if you touch me again I will knock you out, do you understand?" I said in a neutral tone, but my face indicated my displeasure.

The man looked me up and down again at my claim of Arcon before he and his pals began laughing. "Oh good one, you almost had me there hahaha Archon. Yeah and I am King Sigismund's left nut. Now seriously boy, leave or else." The man said that and used his finger to poke me in the chest again.

Suddenly a gasp from some of the onlookers caused a commotion as the man who just poked me collapsed onto the ground unconscious. Giving Kat some credit, her security did not panic at the sight as they began to take out their tasers and one of them yelled. "What did you do to him!"

"Knocked him out." I replied calmly. "How? There was no noise, no movement, he just passed out." The security guard said bewildered. I nodded at his statement. "Yes exactly, now if you could please go inform Lady Kathrine I am here before you find out how I did it."

"With all due respect sir." the guard said with his taser raised. "You are now considered an active threat. Even If I wanted, you would not be allowed anywhere near Lady Hyllus. Now surrender yourself over to our custody or-"

I grew bored of this act really fast and used my Gyrokinesis to hit all of them directly on the head with enough weight to send them to dreamland. At this point, the bystanders started causing a fit as they began running out of the building while the receptionist began pressing a button on his desk that caused panic shutters to close on all the windows and exits and an alarm to start blaring.

I ignored this and began rifling though the security guards pockets. Finding a personal communicator, I dialled in the contact information for Kathrine's personal line and waited. I waited only a moment before the audio connection went through and I heard. "Who is this and how did you get this number?" Her voice was hostile and clearly frustrated. "Hey Kat its me." I said with mild annoyance in my tone due to the alarm. "Apollo? Is everything ok? I am having an emergency in my building, I am about to go downstairs to investigate can I call you back in a moment dear?"

"Actually about that, I am the reason the alarms are blaring, just come downstairs, I will explain everything to you in a moment." There was a pause on the other end of the communicator. I checked to see if I was still connected and I was. "Kat?" As I said that, the alarms stopped blaring and the windows began opening. "I will be 20 seconds darling just wait and I will listen eagerly."

After ending the communication, right on time, twenty seconds later, the door to the elevator opened and Kathrine walked out with an armed escort. Not only was she in the elevator, so was Rhea and Willow, both were armed, but seemed disappointed by something.

Upon seeing his boss exit the elevator with heavily armed men, the receptionist came out from under his desk and shouted. "Thats him! Shoot him now! He threatened to kill me and everyone in the building!"

Kathrine was not even sure what had happened down here yet, but could tell her new receptionist was talking absolute rubbish. "Terminate him immediately, he is clearly not qualified for the job." She spoke in a hushed tone as two of her guards walked over to the man and began ushering him away after knocking him out.

As they did that, Kathrine walked over to me, ignoring her men on the floor and asked. "Are you ok sweetheart? You aren't hurt are you?" I chuckled at Kathrine's nonchalance over the situation and replied. "yes I am fine, a little ticked off and I definitely wont be turning up somewhere early ever again, but other than that I am fine."

Kathrine nodded her head as she raised her arm to stroke my cheek. "Good. Now then, Apollo did you kill these men? I need to know how much of a clean up I need to do." She said as casually as asking me for a drink. "No I just hit them with some of my Psionic power. Knocked their brains into their skulls so to speak. No damage to them of course, just an efficient means of taking them out as they were all stationary."

"Good, good..." Kathrine paused as she took in the surroundings. "Apollo dear, you know you could just ask at reception for them to call my assistant right? You did not need to cause such a commotion to get my attention."

I just blinked at Kathrine for a moment unable to speak. It was not fair to get angry at her for what she just said so I just walked away towards Rhea and Willow, leaving Kathrine utterly baffled and thinking. 'What did I say?'

As I approached Rhea and Willow, I smiled and said. "Hey girls, you two look ready for a war." Rhea chuckled as she rested her gun on her shoulder. "Yea, civvy life is pretty boring after a while, so when the alarms started going off, I though 'Yes! Someone I can shoot!' But it turned out it was just you."

It was then Willow chimed in. "And we would never hurt you Apollo. Never, unless you like that." Rhea looked towards her friend with a 'Huh?' expression before looking back at me. "Sorry about her, lets just head upstairs so we can chat before you and my mom go off to Ecumenopolis 1."

I saw no reason to refuse now the situation has been explained and dealt with and decided to spend a few hours relaxing as Kathrine excused herself back to work as she still had a few bits and pieces to she needed to take care of.

Rhea, Willow and I made small talk for a while discussing this and that. When I asked is they were going to this party with Kat and I, Rhea said no because their job does not allow them to participate in events that will have either of the kings present. I asked for further details, but Rhea placed her finger on my lip and said. "No can do Apollo, its classified. Besides our leave is almost over anyway, I just want to spend the next week slobbing around the apartment doing nothing before we have to go back to work."

After saying that, Rhea excused herself from the room for personal reasons. As she did so, the once quiet Willow suddenly sprang into action and repositioned herself to what I would consider my leg-adjacent. Not quite sitting on it, but leaning enough of her body onto it for it to be noticeable.

"Apollo, we need to talk about my job." She said with great urgence. "Ok? What about it?" I asked puzzled. Willow then took my hand into her own and interwove our fingers together. "With me being your future girlfriend and everything, should I quit my job so you know where I am at all times? What if you want to find me and I am deep undercover somewhere? Or what if I am in the middle of an assassination and you suddenly feel a longing for me? How would I know you need me and to cancel right away if I am not around? So should I quit or not?"

"UUUURMM..." I said confused, unsure how to respond. "No, you keep your job Willow." I said as I patted the back of her hand. "I am sure when we need each other, fate will deem it so. And just in case I did not make it clear just then, do not quit your job over me, ok?"

Willow nodded at my statement. "Ok then future hubby~. I am a little hungry, I'm going to the kitchen, do you want anything?" She asked. "Nah, I'm good. I will just enjoy the silence a moment?" I replied, still confused.

I was so confused in fact by what had happened with Willow, that I had not realised one of the residents that live in my Mindspace had left and stealthily followed Willow into the Kitchen.
