she deserve what she got?”
“No, of course not, not in the end, no. But we were happy together, she loved me, love is a chemical reaction to stimuli after all, what’s the difference if it’s externally induced, at first?”
“But was it just at first Steven, or did she need further doses?”
“No, unfortunately, it didn't last. I had to keep topping it up, she needed to be reminded why she loved me. The effects kept wearing off, so I had to top it up every six months or so.”
“Like I said, smooth, you seduced and raped an innocent woman using your powers, and you justify it by how many people you've saved. That doesn't paint you in a good light does it? Next question, did she want children or was that all you?”
“She did, but I didn't want to risk it, I'd no idea what the effect of my powers would be on a child. I'd no idea what it would turn out like. But in the end I loved her so….”
“So?”
“So I lied, I told her I couldn't have kids, that I'd been sterilized by an industrial accident, it was probably true anyway, or so I thought. So we adopted Sally two years ago. She was great and for a while everything was working out fine.”
“Very sensible, you surprise me, so what changed it in the end?”
“It was an accident I think, we just got carried away and forgot to take precautions or she forgot take her pill, or deliberately forgot. I don't know really, and I couldn't really ask, after all I was supposed to be sterile remember. She was two months pregnant before I knew anything about it. Then well, she was so happy. She loved Sally, but somehow this felt more special, it was more a part of us. It even meant that I had to use less pheromone’s to control her.”
“How wonderful for you, when did you realise something was wrong?”
“The twelve week scan. I'd set it up with a doctor who knew my secret, he faked the scan Jean-Marie saw, just in case, so she saw a perfect little foetus. It was later in private that he showed me what was really there. I threw up.”
Elroy held up the jar and gave it a shake the evil looking creature inside writhed and spat at the glass.
“Yes, there were hundreds of them, in a tight ball, growing inside her, almost like a normal baby would be.”
“Like a normal baby? And you let the pregnancy continue?” Elroy spat out.
“Ok, I know now it was a bad idea but at the time I still didn't know what to expect.”
“And Jean-Marie?”
“I don't know what she thought, I think she knew something wasn't quite normal, but she had nothing to compare it to. She had no sisters or close friends who'd had children. The creatures moved every so often, and we continued to fake the scans and the test results, she thought we were having another little girl.”
“How were you planning on hiding the birth from her?”
“Emergency caesarian, it was due...” Steven looked upwards, thoughtfully, “tomorrow as it happens. We would have faked an emergency, and put her out, opened her up, removed the sac and hidden it. I'd got a replacement baby lined up, from a woman due at the same time as us, sad case, a rape victim I'd got to just too late. It was going to cost me a lot of money, but we would have had a child, which at least Jean-Marie thought was ours. And we would have kept the others secret.”
“Who was helping you on this, not a normal doctor surely?”
“No, it was a Meta Powered one, I won't tell you who, but he fits more into the mad scientist role than most, I promised to protect his identity.”
“So what went wrong?” Elroy already suspected who it could be. The Arachnid had strong ties to The Five, who were led by a slightly mad, brain enhanced scientist.
“We had just got to bed, and,” Steven paused, “Jean-Marie wanted to make love, she had read
