Before I could hear Melody complain, I was hurtled into the air.
My target: the hospital.
Out of all the places that would be important to worry about, the central hospital downtown was my main concern. I wasn't sure what I could do, but the best was to try and at least create another tree over the hospital.
I reached the top of my arch and then started to drop, and I glared at my target. The emergency entrance was filled with dead ambulances, meaning this would probably hurt.
I rolled to my back and waited for the pain, which came an instant later as I smashed through the room of an ambulance.
[Total damage 25%, Repairing.]
I had landed almost perfectly on a stretcher, smashing it down flat, but I was still able to move. I got up and rotated my shoulder as a couple of cracked bones healed, and I was feeling good as new.
I opened the back doors and walked out of the ambulance, and a man was staring at me in a parka.
"Are you okay?! You just fell through that roof, right?! Don't tell me you're like that other crazy guy that destroyed the city!!" The man asked in shock as he started to walk back from me, but I shook my head.
"I am fine, and yeah, I am like that guy, but I am not here to break things. I came to help out since the hospital probably needs it the most," I explained, and the man stopped back peddling.
He didn't look homeless, and when I mentioned helping the hospital, his eyes lit up.
"Really? What is it that you can do to help? My name is Grayson, and I am a doctor at the Metaralis Hospital here," The man explained, and I nodded.
"Good, just give me a moment, and I will see what I can do. By the way, is there a research wing of this hospital?" I asked as I walked over to where some trees had been planted, touching the closest one.
I instantly connected, and my mind wrapped around the hospital to all the trees, but just doing that almost drained me of what I had left to use. I would need to scan more things to reach a Growth Spurt like Orphus had said before I could do this properly.
"Yes, but why do you want to know that?" Grayson asked, and I turned back to him as I asked the trees to start growing the Great Tree as much as possible until I was ready.
"I control all forms of growth, so I need to be able to scan biological organisms. The guy that destroyed the city? He was nothing to what will be coming," I said as I walked over to him.
"You can't be serious?! More of these guys?" Grayson asked, starting to step back again.
"Thousands, all over the world, and there will never be power again. Grayson, I am going to level with you here, shit looks real bad, but there is me. For some reason, they decided to give our world a chance to fight back, and they picked me. The rest of the world doesn't have a me right now, so I am going to need everyone's help, you included," I explained, and Grayson nodded his head.
"I saw what that monster could do, and you are saying that he is the weakest of what is to come?!" Grayson asked, and I was impressed by his question.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
"Yup, that's why I need to get stronger and help make everyone stronger. I am only one person, though, so what can I do?" I asked the man, and the man stood up straight, and I smiled.
"Let's go! I can see those trees behind you growing, so I believe you!" Grayson said as he pried the door open just enough for us to get through.
I closed it easily, but I could see the place was packed with shivering people and small fires. I concentrated and focused on pumping out as much heat as possible, and Grayson gasped from beside me.
"Holy shit, are you pumping out heat from your body?! I feel like I need to take off his coat and all my layers!" Grayson explained as we slowly walked, and he did just that, putting her coat to the side.
The people around me started to look up as the waves of heat reached them, and they started to cheer. Thankfully, a strange busty nurse in a park told them all to quiet down, or she beat them all senseless.
I didn't really think that the last part was needed, but the people all listened.
"That is Sofia; she is the Head Researcher for one project, but a bit of a rocket before all this. Now she is one of the free people that could get people to listen. She will probably join us in a moment," Grays explained and then looked at the sad remains of the shirt I was wearing.
"I don't know if clothes can really handle my mode of transportation. Still, the sooner you can get me to a place where you have samples of biological lifeforms, that would help heat the whole place up. It will already start getting warmer soon, but not enough," I replied, and Gray nodded.
"Do plants work? If so, then I will leave you with Miss Diaz. She is the head of researching Plants being used for healing, but some of her ideas are way out there," Grayson told me, and that was when Sofia joined us.
"Yes, plants work," I said, and suddenly Grayson nodded and walked away quickly.
"Sorry, work to take care of!" Grayson said as he walked into the colder part of the hospital without his jacket.
"Ah, Gray didn't want to play? It's okay, baby; what do you want to know about my plants? I heard through the grapevine that you are interested, mmm, right?" Sofia asked me with a Spanish accent, and I rolled my eyes.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
