บท 297: Cosmic Clouds...

[POV Nemuri]

"What do you think Reo is doing?" Ororo asked while staring at the endless space.

"Probably... he is also in space" I said while buttering my toast. Coming to space was a pretty nice experience but I was rather bored now.

I didn't have anyone to manipulate here... I could teleport back to Earth and return after I have my fun but I am pretty sure that someone would notice that I am missing even if I use magic.

"Hmm... Momo did say that she would need one more day to finish the ship" Ororo muttered and I simply nodded my head. I wish I had some of my porn collection here.

"Do you want some juice?" Ororo asked me finally turning around from the window. She walked up to the juicer while I was still buttering my toast. I miss my liquor too... That's one more negative point.

"Yeah sure" I said in a grateful tone and sat down on the table. Hah...!! I released a huge sigh... Only if I could get Reo's man meat... It has always cheered me up and I am sure that I wouldn't have been disappointed now.

"Good morning, guys" Susan greeted us when she finally arrived for breakfast.

"Good morning, Sue" both I and Ororo greeted her back. She is a really nice woman, she is smart, beautiful and all things you should expect from an ideal woman but she is wasting her potential.

I kind of pity the woman... She would have gone far in the World if she wasn't forced to babysit her brother, Reed, and that bastard Doom. Well, if this Project succeeds then I will bring her with me to Elysium. She has a much brighter future in Elysium.

"So, when will the Cosmic Cloud would come to pass by Earth?" Ororo asked and placed a glass of orange juice in front of me.

"Reed says that it will be almost midnight according to the clock when the Clouds are going to pass by our ship" Susan answered with a smile and started to prepare breakfast for herself.

"Are the Shields ready?" I asked Susan who slightly frowned.

Reed said that we would be needing some Shields to protect ourselves from the radiation of the Cosmic Clouds. So, I gave them the money to make the Shields but the problem was that the Shields needed to fitted on the windows only after we are in the Space.

They mentioned some scientific reason why it couldn't be fitted back on Earth but I wasn't bothered with the reason, so I forgot. "Doom, Ben, and Johnny will start putting up the Shields after breakfast" Susan said.

"I will help" Ororo chirped in from the side. I simply shrugged... If needed I will help but I think that even without Ororo, they would have been able to put up all the Shields before midnight.

I would rather laze around... Only after a few minutes the men also arrived for breakfast. Susan's brother once again tried to flirt with me but landed on his face when I decided to hit him with a tripping hex. He looked confused while the others told him to be careful... Thankfully, the fool decided to give up and didn't try to flirt after that...

The rest of the day passed in a blink of an eye... I spent most of the day while sleeping and lazing like a cat. Who the fuck is pointing light on my face??!! I raged in my mind and my eyes snapped open... My eyes immediately grew wide in shock.

I waved my hand and a digital clock appeared in the air. It wasn't midnight so that meant, Reed's prediction was wrong. I immediately pressed the alarm button in my room and the alarm started to blare throughout the shuttle.

In my sleep I had turned towards the window and the light that woke me from my sleep was coming from the Cosmic Cloud... I didn't have much time, it was already near the ship... I ran out of my room to help the others.

Before I could even reach the others the Cosmic Clouds collided with the ship... I know this was an emergency but I decided against using Flash Step... I didn't want to use Magic in a spaceship unless I couldn't help it because it would cause more problems if the ship started to malfunction due to magic.

I wasn't that much bothered by the Cosmic Cloud... and I could bother with it later because not much is happening except I was glowing dark purple... That was my hair colour, it definitely meant something but I had more important things to think about now because I heard Susan's scream.

I arrived and found Susan screaming on the floor... The Cosmic Cloud has turned her body translucent. I grabbed her arm and pulled her over my shoulder... I cloud hear the others screams. I finally arrived where everyone was working on the Shields...

For some reason Ororo was knocked out and lightning was crackling around her body. The others were on the ground screaming in pain... I stunned all of them and grabbed Ororo... I was electrocuted but I could withstand it... I pulled her on my other shoulder and carried Ororo and Susan to the infirmary.

When I was finally done with Susan and Ororo... The Cosmic Clouds have already passed. I decided to bring the others here... I didn't like Doom or Susan's brother but I wasn't going to kill them...

I wasn't saying this because I grew a conscience, rather, it was because Luna told me not to kill them. I quickly levitated the rest of them into the infirmary. After I was done with them... I moved beside Ororo and started to cast diagnostic spells on her.

I frowned when I didn't get readings I wanted from from her. I quickly pulled out my phone and called the girls back on Earth... Only after a few seconds Momo picked up the call. "Momo! I need your help" I gushed out as soon as she accepted the phone.

"Nemuri... You need to calm down and tell me what happened, slowly" Momo said from the other side.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Getting restless won't help me and I needed to stay calm. So, after I was calmed down... I patiently explained everything to Momo.

"Wait!! I will need Fleur's help. I might know a lot of spells but Fleur is better than me in charms" Momo said before I could say anything she Flash Stepped into Fleur's room. Momo quickly explained to Fleur about what happened here.

"Momo... If you need I can send Ororo to you using the necklace Reo gave her" I told Momo. I didn't teleport because my magic could have affected the ship but Ororo's portkey won't be a problem because it was specially made by Reo... When used it would only use a little bit of magical energy... It wouldn't affect anything electrical around it.

Momo shook her head denial. "No, don't do that. We don't know what has happened to Ororo and the Portkey could have a negative effect on her health" Momo said and I nodded my head in understanding.

"Nemuri... You know basic healing... Have you used the diagnostic charms?" Fleur asked from the side and I nodded my head.

"Yes, I used them but for some reason none of them are working or I am simply unable to understand the readings" I said and both Fleur and Momo told me to cast the charms once again. I Face Timed them and put the phone on the small table beside Ororo's bed so that they could also watch.

I casted all the basic diagnostic charms I knew and saw that both Fleur and Momo were frowning. Momo disappeared and appeared with a green tome in her hands.

"From what I understand, the spells are unable to get a reading but something like that isn't supposed to happen... Unless..." Fleur began to speak but once again frowned and stopped.

"Unless the spells no longer detect the subject as a human" Momo said dryly and closed the tome in her hands.

"I guess you are right but I have seen that those spells have worked on Meta-Humans before, so, why isn't it working now?" Fleur asked with a frown.

"Fleur Mera-Humans might have powers but their anatomy isn't much different than a human. What I meant to say is she is no longer a human as in Homo-Sapiens" Momo said and put down the tome.

"Do you mean she became an alien??? Is there any chance that she will grow tentacles??" I asked Momo with a straight face but the thoughts inside my head were completely different. After Reo comes back we will have tentacle play... Hehehehe...

"Stop drooling you depraved pervert!!" Fleur's screamed and brought me out of my beautiful thoughts. I wiped off the drool and looked towards Ororo seriously.

"Sorry Nemuri, something like that would never happen. I need you to cast these spells on Ororo" Momo deadpanned. She told me the spells one by one and I kept casting them.

"I think I understand what happened to her... That Cosmic Clouds affected her body in some way and her body is currently undergoing the changes... She is alive... That's for sure but all of her organs have disappeared" Momo said with a thoughtful look on her face.

How is she even alive if her organs have disappeared. "What do you mean her organs have disappeared?" I asked Momo.

"I think what Momo meant to say is her body is becoming a solid construct" Fleur said me and I gave her a confused look. From Momo's expressions, I could see that she had also reached the same conclusion.

"Hmm... I think, her whole body is transforming into..."
