Chapter 1547

Touched By An Angel

Earlier:

Ally entered the nursery. She listened before she went further. It sounded like Riley and Derek were asleep. She'd hate to walk into anything. She made her way to Precious room.

"I've been waiting for you." Summer said.

Ally jumped a little. She hadn't noticed that Summer was there.

"You startled me." Ally said.

Summer picked up on Ally's reaction. She tried to make light of it.

"Don't worry, when I come for you, you'll know it." Summer said.

Ally noted Summer said 'when' not 'if'. She decided to let the comment pass.

"Hello, I didn't know you were here." Ally said.

Summer smiled and touched Ally.

"Hi." Summer said. "I was just fooling around."

Ally almost felt an electric type feeling when Summer touched her arm. Others told her that too. She didn't think Summer fooled around either, maybe only with Jan, Young Allison and Savannah. She was very 'adult like' with all the Terminators.

"How's Precious?" Ally asked.

Summer looked over at the crib.

"She's dreaming." Summer said.

Ally wondered about that.

"Do you know what she's dreaming about?" Ally asked.

Summer smiled.

"Yes." Summer said.

Ally wanted to know what an infant dreamt about.

"What is it?" Ally asked.

Summer wanted to play around with Ally.

"I know what everyone dreams about, even if they're daydreams like Terminators have." Summer said. "I don't think dreams should be shared unless the one who dreamt them wants them to be shared. I think you know what I mean."

Ally wondered what Summer knew about her.

"I know it all…." Summer said.

'I didn't ask that question.' Ally thought.

"You didn't have too…." Summer said.

Summer smiled at Ally and left.

Ally checked on Precious and began to review her files of what just happened. She wondered how much of that conversation was actually spoken on her part….

Summer headed out. She dropped by and checked on Vanna and Allison.

Vanna tossed and turned.

Summer was troubled immediately. She silently entered the room and went over and gently touched Vanna. Vanna stopped thrashing about and was soon deep asleep. She'd 'helped' Allison before at night too in Palmdale. Sometimes Holly would come and get her. She usually came on her own.

Vanna slept peacefully now. She smiled at Allison's and Vanna's sleeping forms and left.

She headed for the Command Center.

Moments Ago:

Vanna hid behind some rubble. There were some men looking for her – again. She'd escaped from them earlier. She was able to grab her top before she ran off. They'd ripped her pants off….

Her top was long so it hid most of 'her' as long as she was upright. If another group of men found her like that, it would happen again. It always did. She'd just wanted some food to eat. She hadn't eaten anything for three days. She'd found some muddy water and put some of it in a depression in a rock. She let it set for awhile. She drank some of it once it cleared up a little.

She could tell the men were angry she'd gotten away. They'd planned to keep her for another week and then 'trade' her for some supplies. They wanted to get plenty of 'use' out of her first. She'd been 'sold' before like that. The first two days were always the worst. She seldom had any time to rest. They men were all over her nonstop…. That was the case earlier. There were only four of them in this group but they'd made the most of it. One of them had given her a piece of rat jerky to eat at one point. It was after his third time. She hated when they held her down and took turns. It always started that way with a group…. She would try to be on her knees after that. That way she didn't need to look at them and see the crazed looks in their eyes. It was over faster that way too. The downside to that was it presented two choices to them. Some took advantage of both. She never really understood that.

The men passed by where she hid this time and soon she couldn't hear them anymore. She was sure she'd lost them. She doubled back to their camp and gathered as much food as she could find and some water. She figured she'd already 'paid' for what she took. She hurried away from the camp and the men. She went deeper into the Wastelands. She didn't think they would follow her there, maybe they would. There were Scavengers there and patrols with Grays and Terminators. She could end up in the hands of either. More of the same but worse would happen. She could face slow mutilation at the hands of Scavengers or a short life in a Skynet work camp. A few made it out of them. Most didn't. All of the females were heavily abused by the Grays first and then by the men in the work camp. No one cared. They all knew they were going to die. The females all hoped they died sooner.

She ate the food as she ran and hid from spot to spot. If she was capture again, the food would be taken from her. That was just for starters….

There was some movement up in front and off to the right side. They weren't too close. She planned to keep it that way. It was a Skynet patrol. She changed directions and headed the opposite way. They seemed to be looking for something where they were at. She was glad it wasn't her.

It wasn't long before she spotted another group. This one was most likely a group of Scavengers. There were a lot of them. She changed directions again. With any luck the Skynet patrol and Scavengers would find each other. Luck wasn't usually with her. She decided to head back out of the Wastelands. She hoped the men would be gone that held her previously.

She spotted a Resistance patrol. If there were more than two of them she might be OK. If there were only two of them they would 'take' her as well. It'd happened three times already. They weren't brutal about it and they even apologized to her but they still went and 'took' her anyway. She'd encountered other females and they all told the same story. She'd never met a female who hadn't been abused multiple times. It was just the way things worked. The ones that were hard to look at were the ones that escaped from a Scavenger camp. There were usually things missing….

She closed up on the Resistance patrol. There were three of them. Great, it was a gamble now. She looked behind her at the Wastelands. There were still the Scavengers and the Skynet patrol out there. There was also the group of men she'd just escaped from. They wouldn't be happy she took their food and ate it already. They were going to want more from her the next time they caught her.

It wasn't worth the risk to join up with the Resistance patrol. Maybe if she had some pants on but not like this. Once they got a look at her and saw she was exposed they would want 'more'. She reached down and touched herself. Her hand came up slimy. They would see she'd been 'active' very recently. She really wished she didn't have red hair everywhere. She was going to find a way to change that one day and be like all the other females down there. She'd even tried to pull them out one by one before. They always grew back. She always seemed to attract more abuse when she was captured with one or more other females.

There was movement right in front of her.

Oh no!

The four men that 'took' her earlier were back. They must've followed her. There were four groups to avoid now!

Her heart pounded. She was terrified. There was no way out. There was no direction to run. One of the groups was going to get her. Why couldn't she have been born a bird?

The darkness closed in around her. She wanted to be anywhere else but there.

In a flash she was in a field of green grass. She hadn't seen one in years. There was the sound of waves gently crashing. She looked and saw she was near the beach. She ran through the grass towards the surf. In the background the sun began to set. There was a beautiful sunset. Everything was calm and peaceful now. The earlier events were forgotten.

It was as if she'd been touched by an angel….

Vanna slept peacefully now.

Young Allison and Anna watched the interrogation. They saw how it concluded. There was nothing to talk about.

"They have a new target." Young Allison said.

Anna made sure a drone was on its way. CamNet already dispatched one. More were ready to join it.

"There will be a drone over the target shortly." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted John Henry in on it too.

"Let's let the Command Center take this part." Young Allison said.

She often 'overstepped' her authority. She wanted to be a team player too.

Summer was briefed by CamNet on all the developments. She was spared the details.

She reentered the Command Center.

"I'm back." Summer said.

John Henry was worried about the time. It was late. It was near the 'Witching Hour'.

"You need your rest." John Henry said.

Summer could see John Henry was worried it would come back to him if it was found out she wasn't in bed.

"I won't stay long." Summer said. "I don't want to get anyone in trouble. There will be company here soon enough."

She'd passed by John's room on the way there.

Young Jesse drove towards the location the Gray gave up. She followed behind Cam in the captured vehicle they'd appropriated from the Grays.

"There's a drone over the target location." Gail said.

They weren't sure how good the intel was.

"Is it legit?" Young Jesse asked. "I don't want to get stuck in a sucker play."

Gail looked over the images.

"That's unknown at this time." Gail said.

John Henry contacted them a few minutes later.

"I've traced some of their phone traffic to this area." John Henry said. "It may not specifically be that building."

Young Jesse thought about how she would play it if she was tortured.

"I give up a location near where the real target was." Young Jesse said. "I'd hope my people discovered someone snooping around or the location could be a big booby trap too."

John Henry kept the drone at fifty thousand feet to avoid detection. That was at the urging of the Young bunker. They still suspected there was more in play than they'd seen so far.

"I haven't detected anything different since the drone arrived." John Henry said. "I'll let you know if anything changes. You're still a few miles out."

Young Jesse smelled a rat.

"I'm going to drop back from Cam some." Young Jesse said.

"There's a drone orbiting her and us as well as several out on wider 'figure eight' patrols." Samantha said.

Young Jesse worried about Bob's team.

"What about the other location?" Young Jesse asked.

"So far it's nothing." Gail said. "There's a drone at another location associated with it."

Young Jesse was sure the Grays would all be brought to justice.

"They all will get what's due them." Young Jesse said.

The Gray's prior actions dictated that the toll was death.

Leticia couldn't believe her fortune. She was with Sheila and her 'twin' sister.

Jesse thought Leticia was hot and she liked her rings. She really liked the personal attention Leticia paid to her.

Leticia was between Jesse and Sheila at this point. She needed to rest a little.

Jesse wanted to know more about Leticia being a 'submissive'.

"Tell me, love, will you do anything that Sheila asks of you?" Jesse asked.

Leticia looked at Sheila.

"Yes." Leticia said. "I'm devoted to her. I love her dearly. I'll do what she says and be with whoever she wants me to be with."

Sheila thought she'd straighten Leticia out on that. She wanted Leticia to be independent. She wanted her to respect herself and be an individual. Leticia was everything she could want from a human female. Now that she 'possessed' her, she wanted Leticia be herself. She wanted her to be more than someone that needed to obey others.

Her files from the 'Neural Interface' with Jesse indicated she'd possessed the equivalent of several submissives in the future. Jesse made all of them do something to prove their love for her. Once they did and were scarred for life, Jesse dumped them and moved on to the next one. Her files indicated that those actions on Jesse's part were some of the things that she regretted the most about her past. She'd taken a chance for real love and purposely ruined it. Maybe that was one of the reasons why she wanted Leticia to find herself.

"I want you to be your own person and stand up for yourself." Sheila said. "You don't need to do what others tell you to do. That includes me. You have the right to say 'no'."

Jesse felt the 'old ways' rise up in her. She wanted a submissive. She'd controlled submissive females and males by force, not free will, when she was associated with a group of Scavengers. She'd demanded more from all of them at some point. She actually made them do it to themselves. She wanted them to remember her.

"I'll take her." Jesse said.

Sheila looked at Jesse and frowned. She was aware of what was done in the past - the future. She looked at Jesse.

"Think about it for a little bit first." Sheila said to Jesse.

The look on Jesse's face indicated she did. She quickly remembered her regret.

"I'll pass." Jesse said. "Sheila is right on all accounts."

Leticia paid careful attention to Jesse and Sheila when she was with them. She knew how to 'read' people. She needed to find out what they liked and wanted. She'd observed that Jesse and Sheila did some things the same way.

"I'll obey you as well." Leticia said. "I believe you are inside Sheila. You two are physically different as to what you are. You are Sheila's personality, at least a major part of it."

Jesse and Sheila looked at each other. Leticia knew a lot and put more together.

Sheila ran Gail's program but she was who she was from the 'Neural Interface' with Jesse.

Jesse warned everyone before it was done that there was a lot of 'darkness' inside of her. Most of that was evident in Sheila's actions.

"Tell me more." Jesse said.

Leticia didn't think it was anything bad.

"I know Sheila is 'special'." Leticia said. "She's a unique being. Exactly how or what I really don't know because she's like a human female to me with super human abilities. She's like a 'super hero'. I can see now she's patterned after you. I don't know if you created her or how it works. If you have that ability you're like a god. I still love Sheila no matter what. She is what she is to me and all I see is love and beauty."

Sheila was glad to hear that.

"So if I was a scary psychopathic killer robot from the future you would still love me?" Sheila asked.

Leticia already thought that. The dominance excited her.

"Yes." Leticia said. "I already do. You've saved my life more than once in more ways than one in the last few days. I watched you kill for me. I did things to please you. We served justice together."

Jesse wanted to know more about that. Justice needed to be served sometimes.

"Did you like to administer justice?" Jesse asked.

Leticia looked from side. She didn't want the others to hear.

Sheila placed her hand on Leticia's neck. She wanted to see what was real.

"Yes." Leticia said as she turned and looked at Sheila. "I felt my life had a real purpose for once. I want to do more. I want to be like you. Can you make me like you?"

Jesse and Sheila could see this was complicated.

"We can't make you like Sheila." Jesse said. "We can make a version of you that's the same as Sheila but she'll be like you. You'll remain unchanged and stay how you are. You'll need to do a 'Neural Interface' that will copy who you really are deep down inside. The 'bad' will tend to weigh heavier than the good."

Sheila shrugged her shoulders some when Jesse said that. She didn't see it as a negative. The violence stimulated her.

Leticia didn't know if they were playing with her or not. That seemed impossible to 'make' a version of her like Sheila. They looked serious.

"Are you from space or the future?" Leticia asked. "I can see you've been hurt badly before. I think Sheila was created to prevent you from being hurt badly again."

Jesse really wondered about Leticia. She wanted a purpose. She wanted to belong. She wanted to serve. She wanted to be somebody.

Sheila trusted Leticia. She wanted her. She nodded at Jesse.

"I'm from the future." Jesse said. "So is Sheila's chassis. She was specifically created in this time period with future technology to look like me and be like me."

Leticia still wondered if they were playing with her. That meant Jesse was 'violent' too based on what she'd said. She liked dominance. It radiated power.

"Then Stephany is really you from this time period. You're Stephany when she's older." Leticia said. "You're both the same person. She's Young Jesse."

Jesse never wanted Young Jesse to be like her or experience what she'd experienced.

"I hope to prevent her from ever becoming me." Jesse said. "I'm not proud of my life."

Leticia wasn't proud of her life either. She wondered how wide spread things were.

"You're the good guys." Leticia said. "Are there many like you?"

"No." Sheila said. "There's not that many of the good guys. There are a lot of the bad guys though."

Leticia really wondered about it all. The things she'd witnessed made more sense now.

"Is Tony, I mean John, from the future too?" Leticia asked.

This is where they needed to use caution.

"He's from now." Sheila said. "He's from the present."

Leticia could see John was 'in charge' but 'Barbara' was really the one who made everything work. That could only mean one thing.

"He's the leader in the future." Leticia said. "He's the one who set all of this in motion…."

Leticia really wondered if they would kill her now. She'd figured it all out. Well, some of it anyway.

Sheila still touched Leticia's neck. She felt the twinge of fear for a few seconds but it passed.

"Relax, love, I won't hurt you." Sheila said. "Just remember, anyone who's ever spoken of this to others, ended up in the insane asylum."

Leticia didn't have any close family still alive. Maybe this was her calling.

"I want in." Leticia said. "I want to join."

Sheila and Jesse looked at each other.

"Do you want to risk being hurt or killed?" Jesse asked. "Death is our mistress."

Jesse let Leticia get a good look at her scar.

Leticia was ready for more. She looked at Sheila.

"I feel like I've been touched by an angel. I can try that or I can serve as I do now." Leticia said. "Warriors need comfort. They need to feel special and loved. There are many ways to serve…. I can be a 'comfort woman' to all of you. I want to help."

Even Sheila was a little surprised at that commitment to service. She knew that 'comfort women' were used thorough history by armies. Most of the females in that capacity didn't serve by choice.

Jesse didn't know how that would go over. It would be up to Cameron in the end. Sheila clearly loved Leticia and she was always willing to share herself. Sheila didn't seem to have a problem sharing Leticia either.

"You would be assigned to Sheila." Jesse said. "The decision isn't ours to make. Your old life would be history. Everything that existed before would need to be forgotten and put away forever. Is that a sacrifice you would make? You would need to live on the base forever. There is no 'out' once that happens."

Leticia really didn't like her 'old life'. It was just how she survived and got by. It gave her purpose. She always thought she would need to be that way to survive and get by. Now there was an option. Everything could be different.

"Would I always be assigned to Sheila?" Leticia asked. "Are the others I saw on the ship all there?"

Sheila thought Leticia was pushing things.

"Yes and yes." Sheila said. "There's a lot of 'room hopping' at night too. Everyone is 'down' with that. The variety is excellent."

Leticia was ready for more. She'd done a lot of thinking about 'Barbara'.

"I'm in." Leticia said. "I take it John and Barbara need to agree first. None of the girls who look like Barbara are her. I can tell she's special. I'm sure that's not her name either. I haven't seen her since the ship."

Sheila and Jesse didn't want Leticia to think too much about all of this.

"Just enjoy the ride for now, love." Sheila said. "It's time for us to 'room hop' right now. Don't talk about any of this right now."

The girls all shared a silent look and a few loving kisses.

Claire and Cammy soon joined Leticia.

Jesse and Sheila moved on to Mary.

Camille and Holly went to Laura.

The girls were all in for a treat with each other. They would all switch one more time before they rested. Sleep didn't seem important right now.

John and Hanna were done for now. Hanna made it four times and John finished twice.

Hanna was very pleased with the experience and would need to update the 'Neural Interface' with Vanna to see if her experiences were similar. All of Vanna's past experiences were where she didn't have a say. None of them were by her choice. It made her worry at first how it would be. If it was by choice it was beautiful.

They took a playful shower. Vanna wanted to buy John some more time before she sent Ally in. He needed to recharge. Vanna could see the limitations of the male body. They were vastly inferior to the female body, especially a Metal female. She really doubted Cameron was fully satisfied. No wonder she pursued Savannah and Young Allison.

When the shower was done they dried each other off.

"Thank you." Hanna said. "This may have been my 'one time' but I plan to be back if I can. You made me feel special."

John was pretty sure Cameron would be the one to decide that. It seemed all the girls wanted more. He still wasn't sure which one he liked the best. They all brought something different to the table even if what they brought was the same thing. The difference was in the details and everyone was different, unless they were a clone or patterned after one of the girls. They were still different. Cammy and Camille were different and they were the same in every detail. Their personalities were different and they were both superior to Cameron's personality. That thought made him wonder if he was the one who held back Cameron's development.

"That's fine with me." John said.

He thought about asking about Cameron but it didn't seem like the right time. He helped Hanna dress which they both found rewarding and entertaining.

John walked Hanna to his door.

They shared a long slow kiss that Hanna deepened.

"I had a really great time." John said.

"I had a loving time." Hanna said.

She moved her lips close to his ear.

"I love you, John." Hanna whispered.

John looked her in the eyes.

"I do too." John whispered back.

He really wanted to be with Savannah. He thought to be with Hanna and Vanna again would be nice too.

Hanna gave him another quick kiss.

"I'll send Ally soon." Hanna said.

John was dressed but he looked down.

"I think I'm going to need a few minutes more." John said.

Hanna didn't think it was a big deal.

"There are plenty of other things you can do in the meantime with Ally." Hanna said. "She likes a lot of attention. We were tight before I was assigned to Claire. Sheila knows how to push all her buttons both sexually and emotionally. I guess we all have a lot more emotional type feelings than we started out with."

John was well aware of that with Cameron. Wait. Why did he think of her again? He sure didn't want to do that when Ally arrived.

Hanna smiled at him and walked away.

John watched her go. He was about to close the door when he decided to see what was going on. He knew everyone wasn't on the jet right now. He wanted to see if the jet went anywhere and where Cameron was. He really wondered how things would go with Savannah and her.

He smiled to himself as he headed for the Command Center. It should put Savannah one step closer to his bed if nothing else. He was going to be with Ally soon. He still hoped to get his time in with Cam, Samantha, Gail and Holly. He really looked forward to being with Holly. That was one piece of chassis he'd wanted for years…. He would need to tell Cameron again that this was the greatest honeymoon ever. He didn't know that the Metal girls all acted without her specific 'approval'.

They all wanted their 'one time' like Cameron promised as she took control of their chassis previously and stole their virginity from them with John. They all thought she was very selfish to do that to them. They all hoped she liked the 'payback'.
