Mind Games

By Michael Luvar Barnes

_ S _andra poked her girlfriend's side gently with her fist that gripped a plastic bottle of liquor. It had cost a half an hour of time but it was worth it. The sweet liquor was imported from a Tower near the Western Border on one of the many electric trains that raced all over the nation daily, hour after hour, moving supplies and individuals. It had a cherry-like sweetness to it thanks to a specially bred yeast that was used during its manufacture.

The badger Alterhuman nudged her woman's side again before taking a swig. "You know, you should really try some of this." Sandra grinned, obviously a little tipsy.

"What is it?" Gain smiled at her love gently. Her fangs glinted in the dull light of the mobile theater/super lift. It was date night, and lifts on the Eastern side of the hundred level, mile high, Tower were using dim lighting and showing nothing but romance shows, movies, and plays via their entertainment feeds.

Free video glasses, goggles and snacks were provided by persons that volunteered for entertainment duties. Upon completion of their work they would be compensated by the local Tower Council. They stood near tables set up in the large people movers towards the bottom of their stadium like seating.

Though each lift could only hold, comfortably, about a hundred seated people, it was the best way to travel if you just wanted to take it easy. The outside view's provided by them were spectacular if one plugged into any of the hundreds of observation cameras mounted to the outside of the lifts and to their rails.

Gain lifted the video glasses she wore to lock eyes with the tipsy woman that had tugged her own off to snuggle into the shoulder of her butch girlfriend.

"You are such a dude, I saw that!"

Gain sighed as he realized Sandra was referring to her scratching her groin. "When things get itchy I scratch them."

Sandra rolled her eyes. "Yea, but, you always scratch like your packing a real dick and balls you know?" Sandra pointed at her lover's groin and narrowed her eyes conspiratorially. "I think you may be syncing with your TNVR avatar."

Gain sighed at the mention of Tower Network Virtual Reality, it was the computer networked virtual space Citizens could plug into via cranial implants or wearable gear. It was also the place she ran around in as a male. Sandra had joined her a few times as a virtual representation of her Alterhuman badger self. They had made love a few times too via network interfacing. While there was no sensational difference sex wise, aside from Gain having a functional cock in that world, the two preferred their simple shared apartment for their _clam hunting_as Sandra called it.

Upon first glance the lithe reptilian was presumed to be the lesser in the relationship, however looks were truly deceptive. Gain took the lead in most things, including sex, and even took to wearing a prosthetic dick while walking around. Sandra half expected the male acting Eurtilian to mark territory with it while openly defying any Enforcer that happened to show up to stop her from waving around her fake dick.

"You know I just like the weight of it, and maybe I have some phantom sensation from time to time too. If it makes you happy I can see a Clinic about it." Gain relented.

Sandra pressed the bottle of liquor into her girlfriend's lap. "Good, now have a swig and lets get through the rest of this dumb movie."

"You picked it." Gain pointed out before taking a long pull from the bottle. "Hey," she remarked with a smile. "not bad tasting liquor we should get more sometime." Gain took another long pull and kept the badger at bay with her free hand.

Sandra shoved the hand pressing against her forehead away and reached for the bottle. "Give me that!" Sandra took the bottle back right before Gain polished it off. Swirling the liquid around she sighed and realize the four ounces left would have to do. "I might not even get a proper buzz now."

Gain nudged Sandra and whispered into her fuzzy ear. "You know, we do have that new toy."

"You best not make promises of sex you may not be able to keep. Your more of a lightweight than me, and once that liquor hits, your going to need me to drag your sexy butt home!"

"Carry, you never drag a lady." Gain said with mock offense while clutching her chest dramatically. "I wonder if my heart can take any more of your badgering!"

Sandra growled low in her throat at the poor joke and took another drink. "Just watch the dumb movie I picked!" the badger said as she tugged her video goggles back on.

"I love you too." Gain chuckled as she replaced her own lenses to continue watching the movie.

Two hours later

Sandra carried Gain up to their apartment entryway. The walk to their place had taken a half hour due to Gain insisting they let her natural poison filtering ability work on the alcohol. She promised she would be capable of, to quote, fucking the shit out of the badger if she took her time getting them home.

Once into their apartment the badger walked over to the sofa bed. It was rarely in sofa mode since most of the time all they did was fuck, lay around, fuck more, play games, cuddle, and browse information feeds before screwing. Sandra was surprised that her sexy mutant lizard had so much energy for sex, but remembered she was bred for it.

"You egging anytime soon?" Sandra asked as a she laid her lover on the bed and began unzipping her one-piece suit before she joined her.

"Maybe in a little bit, still have a few days before I have to drop egg." Gain shook her head at the thought of passing the things over to an orphanage for use by the State to boost population levels. Some chemicals, a warm nutrient bath, and the eggs would start to form a new Eurtilian hybrid or pure-blood depending on what genetics were added to it.

"So...sex?" Sandra asked as she peeled herself out of her clothing and dropped the suit to the carpet.

Gain nodded happily and unzipped her own suit. The clothing was free, provided by Lady Eurynome by decree, like everything else around them. Even their money, Time, was given to them by her to spend as they saw fit in twice monthly allotments. You could literally lay around all day and it would be okay.

As Sandra slid onto the bed and crawled over her sexy lizard she nuzzled her neck before kissing her throat. Her lover's gentle gasp made her grip her by her shoulders and hold her still as she began to suckle and lap at one of her favorite sensitive spots.

The buzz Gain felt in her throat, as her lover nibbled and hummed the flesh over it, made her reach between her legs for her prop and stroke it. Sandra lifted herself up, releasing her lover's smooth scaly neck to watch her stroke her prosthetic dick.

"I think you should get a gender reassignment," Sandra reached between their bodies to play with the toy herself. It was lifelike and modeled after an Eurtilian male member, the fake material was soft yet firm as she stroked it. "with your Eurtilian genetics it likely would just be a needle in the butt or something; then poof, a dick, smaller tits, and finally, maybe through inverse genetic logic, you would have a palm filling ass."

Gain made a mock offended expression. "My ass is just fine!" Gain pushed on the badger and they rolled over until she was on top. They kissed and only parted to breathe before Gain nudged the badger's legs apart with her knees. Sliding the toy in, she began to firmly thrust into the badger.

Sandra reached off to the side of the bed as her body was rocked by each smack of her lover's hips against her own. Her arm swung down until she grasped something just out of view. Bringing her hand up she brandished a light yellow dildo. Gain's eyes widened at the sight of it and the mischievous look on Sandra's face.

"Just the tip." she said as she locked her legs around the scalie's waist and began to suckle upon the end of it, spit-shining the knobby end of the toy before reaching around and grabbing Gain's ass with her free hand and spreading it.

Gain hissed through clenched teeth as the toy was pressed against her rosebud and beyond. Sandra twisted it, pushed it, and nudged all eight inches into Gain. Gain shivered as she mashed her clit against the backing of the toy and came.

"You always were a butt freak." Sandra murmured as she moved her hips to get the toy inside of her moving around to hit her own spots.

"F-f-fuck that was good!"

"And always easy to boot!" Sandra snickered as she grasped the toy with both her hands and began to work it back and forth into Gain's ass. To her credit, she was not really one to talk, Gain knew all her weak spots and could make her cut loose with wall shuddering screams if she wanted. They had even gotten a noise complaint once! Delivered by a masked Enforcer who laughed the whole time as they were informed of their infraction.

Gain clenched her ass around the toy and began to make short humps into Sandra and knocked her hands loose as she lost all muscle control as one of her spots was struck hard enough to make her go cross eyed.

"Stop, stop!" Sandra whimpered as she rode out her orgasm.

Gain hovered over the badger and repressed an urge to lick and suckle upon her wonderful breasts. Biting her lower lip, she leaned down to lap over one with her tongue which earned her a firm gentle mash of the dildo in her ass from her overly sensitive lover. Gain went rigid and collapsed on top of Sandra.

"Ass bandit." Gain muttered as she trembled on top of her muscular girlfriend.

"Cunt eater." Sandra spat as she finally felt the best part of her orgasm pass, leaving her with little tingles that raced down to her toes.

"You say that like its a terrible, horrible, habit to have!" Gain pulled free of Sandra, her prop cock popping free, and releasing a small dam's worth of orgasmic fluid.

Sandra glanced down at her messy groin and pointed. No further words were exchanged as Gain lost her strap-on and proceeded to kiss her way up Sandra's inner thighs. As soon as she hit home, she locked her lips upon the joy button she nuzzled with her nose a second before and began to go to work as Sandra gripped the sheets and squirmed her way through the remainder of the first of many hours of lovemaking.

Three days later

Sandra felt good, surprisingly so, her normally tense muscles after a shift at the shipyard were relaxed and she felt warm too. Having multiple orgasms after a hard days work tended to do that. The new job was something she was doing to flex her powers, powers she had not realized she had until she accidentally broke her girlfriend's hip during sex two nights ago. The body next to hers of her longtime girlfriend Gain, a strange name for a sexy reptilian hybrid, felt nice and comfortable against her own naked flesh.

Intermingling her fingers with those of her lover, she opened her eyes and found a stranger staring back at her.

"Who the fuck are you?" she whispered.

The stranger smiled and sat up, the sheet sliding off of their nude form, their pointy fangs glinted in the artificial lighting of the room. "Don't play games, Sandra; I have a volunteer shift at the mist farm so if you want sex we have to be quick."

Sandra's reaction to the offer of sex with the male was to knock said male Eurtilian out of the bed with a series of kicks aimed at his gut and groin. The badger Alterhuman bicycle kicked him viciously until he stumbled out of the sofa bed and onto the carpet with a thud and groans. She had not used her full strength, strength that she knew could easily kill now that she had awakened paranormal abilities.

Sandra reasoned to herself that he may be a relative of Gain's. Their coloration was downright identical save for the fact that he had no breasts to speak of from what she had seen of his naked form. A bad joke on Gain's part was not unusual, but this was a little too much for the powerful badger.

Sliding out of the bed she ran for her favorite machete. It was mounted on the wall above a collection of unloaded antique guns. She yanked it free of its nylon sheath after retrieving it and tossed the sheath away as she waved it around in front of her; waiting like a viper for its prey to make a mistake. The fourteen and one quarter inch blade gleamed thanks to the oil applied to its surface liberally by the enraged badger under far different circumstances.

Gain wondered what he had done to make his girlfriend upset with him enough to kick him in the goods. But, as he thought about it, he realized the game was up as she spoke her next words. "Why the fuck is a naked male Eurtilian, that looks like my girlfriend, if she had a dick that is, in my bed?"

Gain swallowed hard as he realized his neural hack of five years ago had finally given up the ghost. The memory alterations, the pruning of the portions of the Alterhuman mind that monitored perception, the implantation of the belief that he was a female, and getting Sandra to see it and believe it, even feel it no matter where they were; VR or reality, she saw him as a she and now that was all gone.

Sandra sniffed the air. "You smell like her!" Sandra shook her head violently as she tried to understand why this was going on. "Are you her brother? Is this a prank? Oh god, did you have a sex change? What the hell is going on!" Sandra demanded as she tried to steady her nerves as best she could in case this...stranger, proved dangerous to her.

Gain, feeling there nothing to fear if he came clean, decided to tell the truth. After all, his relationship was not just a lie, it was a massive manipulation on his part to obtain the love he knew they both deserved. He had proven it, he reasoned, by being the person she wanted him to be, it just took her being modified to see it his way.

Gain peeked over the side of the bed at the badger and her dancing blade. "Put down the weapon, Badgerella,"

"Do not call me by that name!" Sandra said in anger at the pet name that she shared with only one other, the person that had given it to her. Had her lover lost her mind and told this, guy, this male, their secrets just to prank her? Seeing no point in trying to stay calm, Sandra gave into her anger and acted upon it.

The blade was flung faster than Gain could see, even with his modified genetics, he was mostly just a Basic, an ordinary person, just of another race. But it was not aimed at his body, and it thudded as it smashed into the wall next to his left shoulder.

"My beloved calls me that!" Sandra shouted. "You are not her!" Sandra sniffed the air of the apartment again. "But you smell like her...what did you do? Did you skin her or something? You do kinda look like her, and, oh god, am I going crazy? Did I jump to another Universe while I slept? One where I like dicks and," Sandra began to rant while covering her mouth and eyes like she always did when very upset around people she trusted.

Gain smiled to himself despite the fact that he had woefully underestimated Sandra's hate of males. Part of her knew he was her mate and she was still the strong, smart, easily overwhelmed, woman he loved and had _technically_raped for the last five years. Sex under false pretenses could be considered rape, and even though she thought it was a strap-on that had delivered her to so many highs, and not his cock; nothing would prevent the truth from being known now that his mental manipulations had worn off.

"You put it down, though in an extreme way, but that is cool, lets just talk." Gain offered an olive branch once more, not wanting to fight the far stronger Alterhuman woman.

"What is your name?" Sandra said as she stopped fretting and uncovered her eyes and mouth. "Maybe, I am a universe hopper too besides having a strength package?" Sandra tried to reason. "Y-yea! Your just a guy version of my girlfriend, and I just have to master this ability and-"

Gain cut off Sandra with a slow shake of his head, took a deep breath, and confessed his sins.

"Sandra I brainwashed you into believing I was female for over five years. Every time we made love, it was me, a guy. When you thought you were eating my pussy, you were eating my ass, when you thought you were sucking on my strap-on, you were sucking my cock. When you thought I was fucking you with a strap-on, it was my dick. Every time you used ol' yellow on me, it was stimulating my prostate and getting me off like nobody's business because of it, and not because of any, well mostly, cybernetic mods we had done to make sex even better.

"I literally am the worst person on this level for doing the shit I did. And you know what? I do not care what happens to me after telling you the truth: you can do whatever, the love I feel for you, the moments we shared, though manipulated, it was all true."

"How did you do that? I mean my friends saw us! I-I-have no fucking idea how you convinced me you were a woman!" Sandra sputtered. Sandra looked on as Gain pulled on clothing from a storage trunk she, or rather he, kept at her place. "Oh my god, this explains why you scratched yourself like a guy all the time!"

Gain smiled on the inside at the lack of a flat denial of the truth he had spoken while pulling on an undershirt to match the shorts he had pulled on. "I manipulated the visual centers of your brain, so when speaking of me, any pronouns that were gender based were modified accordingly by what you thought you saw."

Sandra nodded slowly as she looked at Gain feeling rage like no other. Yet her face was showing none of the turmoil building inside of her. This man, a_male_, had taken her love, twisted it, and used it against her to get what he wanted from her for five years!

Staring at her bare feet, ignoring her nudity, Sandra pulled in a slow breath of air that did nothing to calm her. Clenching her hands into fists she slowly lifted her eyes until they met Gain's own. "Was I nothing but a warm fuck hole for you, Gain?"

Sandra took one step to launch herself at the Eurtilian. His head smashed into the wall behind him as she made contact and followed up her initial tackle by wrestling him in a choke-hold. Brawls as a child had taught the younger Sandra to never use her full strength on a person. Her new Paranormal Power Package or Triple-P, included enhanced strength limits, durability, and some slight esper ability. But she wanted Gain dead, deader than dead, he had used her, and she was going to make him suffocate before pulling his head off.

And yet, just as she knew his vision would begin to fade, as his shorts tented due to the lack of air giving him an erection, she released him as a faint thought filtered through her mind that she knew was not of her own making.

It was worth it, to love you, at least...once.

Sandra's hold loosened enough to keep the love thief alive a bit longer. "Worth what?" she said as she let him drop.

Gain flopped to the ground and gasped, coughed, hacked, and generally pulled in as much air as he could tolerate safely. Staring up at the large imposing femal, he had tears at the corner of his bloodshot eyes.

"Loving you, is worth death. I just, wanted it so badly...." Gain yelped as Sandra kicked him in the groin in mid sentence.

Sandra stood over Gain as he did nothing to shield himself from her blows. She started her beating simply: stomps on his legs and sides, measured so that they only caused small fractures and not full breaks, followed by a few swift gut kicks when she thought he was not suffering enough.

When she was certain he was softened up enough, Sandra procured a bat and tossed the broken male onto her bed by his neck and proceeded to wail on him with it. Her blows were precise, never anyplace that would cause fatal damage, she just wanted him to suffer, suffer like she was suffering. Break him like her heart was breaking.

"You fucking met my parents! I fucking told them I wanted to spend my life with you! And-it-was-a-lie!" each final few words were punctuated with a swing of the bat.

Gain was no longer moving but was still awake and alive thanks to her avoiding his head. His flesh broke and bled in places where his beloved's bat had landed in a particular way. He was bloodied, bruised, and partly broken.

And he felt he deserved every bit of it.

Sandra kicked the bloodied genetically engineered reptilian hybrid out of her bed with a rough shove of her foot. He landed, ironically, in the same place he had started the morning, on the floor by his side of the bed.

"Its over,"

Gain knew what the words meant. It was his life, not the relationship, that was finished and he felt glad. He would die knowing that no matter how broken he was, no matter what he had done, he had did the right thing in the end instead of going with plan b.

"What the fuck was, Plan B?"

"You heard that?" Gain asked, a dribble of blood oozing over his lower lip as he looked at the pissed off badger woman.

"I have limited mind reading powers, you never knew it, and I barely talked about it with anyone. Many people would freak the fuck out thinking I was cheating during every single conversation I had with them by getting an inside look at their thoughts. Learning of their intentions before they even opened up to me." Sandra paused as she realized something. "the few thoughts I did pick up from you...were never selfish." Sandra was torn. She had sex, willingly, while brainwashed, with a male, for years. Such trechery was mind boggling but not unfamilar to her, it was something left to fiction. But in the world they lived in, science fiction was science fact, and just mostly fiction. "But," she dared to ask. "what was this back-up plan of yours?"

"I was going to drug you," Gain crawled over to the wall and propped himself up against it. "Eurtilian venom," Gain licked his fangs for emphasis. "then just repeat the procedure after forcing a VR network login using your network codes I learned by just being your,"

"Don't say it!" Sandra threatened. "You never were, and never will be you fucking RAPIST!"

"Girlfriend." Gain said defiantly, already knowing it was about to be all over for him and kinda happy about it.

That was how it had happened. Sandra considered. He had gotten to her while she was logged into the networks of New Landon. It was how they had first met, in VR, and it was how they initially came to realize they had something, or so she thought.

Narrowing her eyes and focusing on the male that was the source of a growing pit of shame at being so weak to be taken advantage of. Sandra ignored the feelings she felt, he was just meat, and soon would be dead meat.

Sandra raised the bat above her head one last time, prepared to strike the betrayer dead. She wavered though, and her eyes met Gain's and knew she could not finish him off.

She loved the fucker, and that was the only thing that made her not kill him outright.

Gain wiped smears of blood off of his muzzle and tried to sit up more. The pain in his sides was burning, unyielding, like a bad cramp coupled with a nearly unbearable sensation he had never felt before. The agony he felt kept him somewhat still.

Bat in hand, glaring at him with an intensity devoid of any consideration of his ultimate fate. Sandra spoke. "Do you love me? It was never just about the sex, do you love me?"

Gain coughed weakly, nearly passing out from the pain as his busted insides rebelled against any movement at all. Breathing was looking, and feeling, like it was a bad idea. Gain wanted to sleep, he just wanted to die. He deserved it.

"You Eurtilian piece of shit answer me!"

The bat was swung again.

And again.

And again, until Gain 's right arm was dislocated from his shoulder. Finally he broke, his tolerance for pain and holding his peace until he was at peace, gone, and cried out in pain and Sandra's world completely shattered. Dropping the bat she immediately took Gain's face in her hands and cried. She sobbed into the hair-like feathers on top of his head as she pulled him against her chest.

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you," she said over and over again as Gain gently rested his left hand on her back and shushed her through blood stained teeth.

"Do you love me?" he parroted back at her.

"I do, stupid."

"I love you too, and I am sorry."

Gain decided then was a good time to let go and he did. He felt he had done everything he wanted with his life, even apologized and let the woman he had wronged have her revenge on him. A faint smile was on his lips as he let his black eyes slide shut.

***

Eurynome studied the report her Chief Enforcer had given her and dropped the computer tablet upon which it had been given to her. She had read it a dozen times in less than a second and was still somewhat shocked at the murder that was detailed within. "That whole situation is summed up in one word: fucked."

Sabine Queen, leader of the paramilitary forces of New Landon under Lady Eurynome's control, nodded slowly. The tigress had just related verbally, and in a detailed typed report, to the cybernetic vixen exactly what had gone on concerning a couple where one of them was beaten to death by the other.

"She claims he confessed to tampering with her mind, getting her to see him as a female and consenting, for years, to an intimate relationship." Sabine frowned while studying the dark furred vixen behind her monolithic dark stone desk. "We have no formal psychic police corps, nor do we have any publicly known way of verifying her story as to why she beat him to death." Sabine smiled knowingly. "But since you have everyone under constant surveillance..."

Eurynome nodded slowly as her mind collected thousands of hours of audio and video of the two and pieced together a detailed time line for both in seconds. Gain's crime born of a biological cue, his burgeoning love for a woman he desperately wanted to be with; Sandra living, loving, and enjoying herself, blissfully unaware the woman she loved was a man. All this was witnessed by Eurynome within her mind's eye and she cocked her head to the side as she considered what to do.

"Story checks out, fully." she finally said. "Unlike what everyone thinks, I never intervene in all crimes," Eurynome noticed Sabine's expression change slightly. "because I never watch all the footage live. I have my own interests, and besides, the local Tower AI is supposed to bring up things like this and forward it to me before it advances this far.

"Though I am curious as to the software Gain used to modify his girlfriend's mind. I say we mind wipe her and move her to a new Tower." Eurynome was already making arrangements for certain resources to be allocated for her Chief Enforcer to utilize in carrying out her orders. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she decided on a slightly morbid course of action concerning her wayward son.

Sabine pursed her lips before speaking up. "I know that look, who do you want buried or dug up." it was a sharp statement from a feline that was in no mood for another grave run as she called them.

"Collect Gain's remains, have his brain probed for data pertaining to where he got such code. If he wrote it himself," Eurynome turned away in her chair from her servant, friend, lover, and pupil to smile as she gazed at a video window displaying an image of the outside live. "revive him as an AI, in service to the people as punishment for his crime."

Sabine bowed to her master's back and turned to leave Lady Eurynome's penthouse via the vault doorway into it. Eurynome was elsewhere, figuratively and literally, her mind dancing about her networks. For the God of New Landon, nothing was beyond her reach if she merely thought of it. And at that moment, she was reaching into the depths of her systems, probing for information that may prove useful to a certain prisoner program she maintained.

Yes, she smiled to herself, gain would make a fine Time Keeper indeed.
