Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 55 Act Of God

"Wanna punch in the nose? Just hold me like this for a bit, you idiot!" Victoria growled into my chest, and I smiled, patting her head.

"You should try to get used to it, Vic. It's really beautiful up there, and I would like to show you what I have created for all of us," I said, kissing the top of her head.

Victoria looked up at me with a frown and then punched me in the stomach to no effect and then started to growl.

"I don't like heights!" Victoria snapped.

"Neither did I, but at least you only had to get thrown once. This time will be different, I can stay low for now, and the grass is bringing out the chest you left in the house. I don't really want to walk back, and I would like to get a look at the city as it is still growing. You can't tell me you don't want to see that, am I right?" I asked with a big grin, and Victoria clenched my white shirt in her hands.

"Fine, but if you take me higher, then I want to go, so help you God, I will never show you what is in that chest! Understand?" Victoria shouted at me, and I nodded.

"I promise. Scouts honors, or whatever!" I smiled, but Victoria narrowed her eyes.

"I am serious, Daniel! I need to be able to trust you!" Victoria told me, and I stopped smiling.

"I get it, and I am serious as well. You can put your trust in me," I said and picked her off the ground.

"What about my parents and grandparents?" Victoria asked, but I turned her to see the four of them walking over.

"Well, don't you look different now! I feel like I should smoke one before you do anything else crazy, or just to watch the world grow! What do we live in now? A forest?" Frank asked as Helen, and the grandparents walked over to join us.

"I just saw you, boy, and now you have gone and grown a pair of wings?! Right after, you turned me back into a fresh sapling! How are we supposed to keep up with you?!" Pops asked, and I laughed.

"Just head to my Central Great Tree north of here. Vicky and I are going to go for a cruise around the city to see how things are growing. There sound be something inside of you pushing you towards the tree, so you won't get lost. Feel free to smoke your brains out on the way; I am sure it's going to be like a walking acid trip, so take your time," I laughed.

"Oh, Vicky! You are so lucky! I wish that I could go on a trip like that!" Helen exclaimed as she came over to kiss her daughter, who was in my arms and then gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Mom! Go back with dad! Get off Dan!" Victoria complained, pushing her mother back from me.

"Oh, my little girl is so protective of her new man!" Helen laughed.

"Mom! Can we go? I am getting sick of them already!" Victoria whined, and Everyone laughed.

I turned and started to run, stretching my wings out as I did. This was going to be my first time taking off, so I should probably get some good speed, or Victoria would very likely never try this again.

I pushed myself to my limits and ran up the back of a car before jumping into the air, flapping my wings. Getting up was a bit laborious at first, but my body grew stronger with each flap of my large white wings.

"Don't go any higher than this!" Victoria screamed, making my ears ring, but I was only twenty feet off the ground and barely clearing the light posts and wires.

"We need to get higher than the wires, and then we will glide," I explained, and Victoria clenched me tighter.

"Fine, just don't drop me, you idiot!" Victoria complained, and I nodded, beating my wings harder until suddenly I felt a warm draft seem to catch my wings and carry me.

With the warm draft under my wings, I barely needed to even flap to hold a solid thirty-five feet. Now I could finally relax somewhat and look around at all the sights all around us.

"Look! The trees are starting to create bridges to each other!" I said to Victoria, and she slowly looked up.

The trees were slowly reaching out to connect with each other, making bridges. The process was slow, but we weren't the only ones looking.

Down on the streets below, people were watching and pointing up at the trees and us. I could only imagine the stories that were going to start popping up around the city.

I would have to make sure that people didn't start going around saying I was an angel or that this was all an act of God. That mother fucker wasn't doing a damn thing, just like every other time.

I was a firm believer in what I saw, but I loved the idea of fantastical things, but God was not a subject that I could get down with. Too many holes in the stories and not enough proof of existence.

This, right now, growing around us, was created by ultra high tech AI that went crazy and decided to give me the power. The same ones were all over the world, killing and destroying things.

"This is actually really nice. I am still scared, but it feels like we're floating on air, and you kind of look like an angel right now. I think that you should make me something that I can remember this by, like you used to," Victoria said as she looked up at me.

"Make you something? You aren't going to throw it away like you did last time, right?" I joked, but the truth was that I knew she had gone back to get the things that I had made for her.
