From: fjohnson@skynyrd.rutgers.edu (Floyd Johnson) Subject: STORY: Title unknown-section 5 Date: 17 Mar 92 20:52:21 GMT ACCers, I spent a fair little while wondering how to advance my cyborg toward the battle I submitted months ago. This past weekend, I wrote a chapter advancing his relationship, as well as one identifying his nemesis. I had planned to give some exposition on the Order's head honcho, but I was more interested in what Darrin and Kate were up to. My next post, which I also devised this weekend, will be more believable--Darrin gets to speak his politics and use his nitrous oxide cartridges. This installment is liable to draw some flames from the ladies of the net, owing to the obvious inconsistencies in Kate's character, and some sexually explicit descriptions, but _shigata ga nai_, according to Clavell, the Japanese approximation to "what the fuck". In the event you missed or forgot the previous installments, email me at fjohnson@remus.rutgers.edu, and, depending on the response, reposts will be forthcoming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this installment, Darrin reveals his true nature to Kate. He also, inadvertently, reveals the one thing to the Order that pisses them off more than anything else:he is capable of sustaining an interracial relationship. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Darrin?" She was on the phone, talking with him because she was "in the mood for conversation". She asked him, "Do you think I'm a little silly?" "It happens to us all at one time or another. I'm sure *I've* struck you as even sillier at times." He paused, musing over what had brought he to worry so. "Talk to me, Kate." "I-I got to thinking of you. I thought about how it feels to be around you. I thought of your feel, and your touch-" "I know; I think of such things too." "Do you imagine us...making love?" This caught him totally off guard. "Darrin?" He just sat there, stunned. "Are you there?" After about ten seconds, he stammered, "Th-The thought never crossed my mind." "Oh--hold me", she sighed. "I hadn't, until lately. Only lately do I feel like I want to get turned on by you." He tried to imagine himself with her-was it really possible? He thought about it-maybe he should tell her. "Kate?" "Hmm?" "Would you be interested in coming over? I mean just to talk." Yes, this'd be the thing, he'd also fill her in on his mysterious adversaries. "Maybe you'd come over here." <Aw fuck, what's it matter?> he thought. It occurred to him he could also show her some of the android goons' circuitry. "Give me a little time." "So you will be coming tonight?" Her voice seemed to have gained some fervor. "Uh-huh." With that, he fished the parts out of a desk drawer, wrapped them in a bit of dropcloth, and made for his bike. Nothing seemed unusual about this particular night, except that Darrin chanced into a purple Cadillac about half a mile away from Kate's place. As far as he was concerned, that was the weirdest paint job he'd ever seen. It didn't occur to him, however, that at the helm of the "pimpmobile" was no ordinary driver. It was the Order's infiltrator, and had just signaled the base that it had located its target, asking whether to strike. "No", the Chief replied, "just give him the usual." The infiltrator looked at Darrin, who wheeled around. "You know what time it is?" Darrin replied, "It's about quarter to nine." The two met with a light. "No, I mean, what *time* it is", the stranger retorted. "It's about *us*. Don't you think it's about time we *do* something about the Man, like return the favor?" Darrin noticed this man was wearing a speckled bow tie, and was familiar with political rhetoric on those lines. Looking him dead in the eye, he hissed, "If you're talking about the kind of policy it sounds like you're talking about, 'I don't *think* so'." No sooner had he said this than did the light change, so he floored his Windraider, leaving a loud buzz in his wake. "A Tom to the core", the Chief Minister muttered, having seen Darrin's dissing. "Track his ass." Darrin was sitting on the couch, awaiting Kate's return from the kitchen. She emerged, bearing a pair of sodas in tall glasses. He looked at her long, curvy form, highlighted by the black biking shorts she was wearing. "Kate, I have something important to tell you. I'm not like other guys." "Michael Jackson, _Thriller_", she quipped, sitting next to him. "Don't tell me *you* turn into a werewolf." "No, it's far more staggering." He began unwrapping the android arms. "I'm a synthetic lifeform-a cyborg." "Say again?" I'm deathly serious. You remember that guy I kicked in the face? He was one, too." He presented the remnants of the pair he'd destroyed in a bike battle. "Just like the ones *these* are from." She recoiled, closing he eyes in disbelief. Apparently, she had grasped the implications-she was involved with a being that was not quite human. "Kate, please, hear me out." She faced him, looking as if she were fighting back a tear. "I'm different from those characters; I can *feel*. Honestly, did you think I was bulolsihtting you when I said I loved you?" "N-n-no." "I felt I had to be honest with you about this. That's how much I love you. Frankly-" "Darrin", she whispered, sliding close to him, "hold me". He draped an arm around her, looking into her soft eyes. "You always did feel good", she sighed. His eye dropped to her crotch. The material hugged the folds of her genitalia, giving them a full, almost muscular appearance. He felt himself becoming erect, ad quickly drew his gaze upward. "Too late", she told him. "I see I turned you on." His sheepishness showed in his face. She kissed him, this time eliciting perspiration. "Maybe it can work." He squeezed her against himself. "Kate...thank you for believing in me." "Darrin, would you consider...I mean, seeing you looking down there kind of got me started." She put a hand on his ass. "Yes, but you'll have to show me the way." With that, she guided his had under her tank top, lightly pressing his middle finger against a nipple. He gave her a strange look, enthused, however, by the contact she had initiated. He carefully circled the areola with his forefinger. She promptly directed his other hand to a buttock, which he began to stroke, savoring its roundness. She interrupted his caresses. "I want to put on a little music", she explained, leaving the couch. He watched her as she disappeared into the recesses of her dwelling, noting the swing of her hips as she moved. She soon returned with a DAT. It was real to him that she was rubbing her thighs together as she popped it into the stereo. "It's obvious to you now that I'm getting a little hot." She adjusted the volume, and the sound of a classic guitar filled the room. Watching the spandex-clad figure, he was sure his erection defied concealment. He relaxed as she took hold of him, caressing his buttocks and thighs. His hands returned to her breasts, taking in their fullness, and began stroking them, playing with the nipples. She began shifting her hips, as she had before, giving a gasp. At this, he felt compelled to give her mons some attention. She began undoing his jeans, inviting him to slide his hands down her shorts. She wiggled out of them, leaving only a pair of white panties. He reached between her thighs, feeling them close around his hand, as well as her mighty labia, which were quite wet-he could feel it through the cotton. "Do it", she whispered, freeing his member. He reclined, reveling in his excitement. He pulled her onto himself, exchanging wicked smiles with her. She played with his penis, gently working a condom on it, with one hand, as she tugged her panties down with the other. When the "final preparations" were complete, she leapt onto him, wincing. "You all right?" Her naughty smile returned. "Yeah; it was just a little too sudden." She groaned. "Pull back a little and heave for all you're worth". He drew back, feeling her sliding around him. She was retracting as well. He waited for her to reach apogee, then, in perfect sync with her, let fly. "Ohh yess." That one thrust did a world of things for him as well. They resumed this pace until their respective organs began to throb. Their moans and sighs began to coincide. A single "Uuunh" surrounded them, certifying their orgasm. They collapsed and rolled off the couch, both gasping for breath. "Ohh", Kate sighed, "that felt so *good*." Darrin could only groan his agreement. As he stepped out to his cycle, Kate appeared on the porch. "Darrin?" He turned to face her, sweeping her into his arms. Their kiss was a long, passionate one, one of a mutual hunger that each knew only the other could satisfy. "About last night, if you ever had any doubts", she told him, "I'm sure they're long removed." "Thank you", he sighed. Out the corner of his eye, he saw the purple Caddy whose driver he insulted the previous night. "Holy shit", the Security Leader shrieked, "he a Tom to the bone." The Chief Minister had just gotten into the room. "What happened?" "Check this out". He played the tape from the infiltrator's observations. It showed Darrin and Kate kissing, as seen from a fair distance away. "This Brother is anything but", hew declared. "He has a woman who ain't a Sister."
