Max was actually giving him an out. He must have been moved by that speech of Cody's. Even if only a little. 'Take the deal. It's perfect. You know that I can make infinite clones.' I told Cody. "Y-yes. I know where some of the ooze is. You can fight it after school." Cody said. Max smiled and leaned forward. "Good job. See you after school." he said as he walked off. Cody spoke up and said "But what about us!? I wanted to thank you and confess my feelings. I want an answer." Max turned and stalked closer. It was like a predator sizing up prey. "Are you a total bottom?" he asked. Cody looked shocked. Max scoffed and said "I do what I want. When I top, I'm on top of you and fuck hard. When I want to bottom, I'm still on top. You take it well, but can you get it up long enough to top somebody? If not, give it up." It was a challenge. Max was a switch and wanted a switch partner. Cody was not too sure of himself. 'What should I do? I've always seen myself as bottoming for him. I don't even know if I could actually top him.' Cody asked him. 'Friends with benefits is a nice compromise.' I offered.
Having made his point, He began to walk off again. Cody reached out and said "I still want to keep in touch with you. Can we be friends with benefits!? Please!" Max just sighed and said "It was nice fucking you." He paused again. "Fine. But if you go and do any crimes, I'm beating you up myself and tossing you straight to jail." the feisty cat conceded. Cody hugged him and Max rolled his eyes. "Alright. You're not my boyfriend or anything, so get off. You are just a fuck buddy." he said as he pushed Cody off. Cody did not seem to mind. "I'll see you after school." he said before running off. Cody left Max behind and made his way to Dustin and the clones. Cody reported to his brother and Dustin was upset. "You really want to be a cat's slut!? I don't get it." he said. Cody just frowned and said "Shut up. Just be happy for me for once." Dustin just shook his head and said "We need to get ready for class. Let's go." I was not going to go to class I was not even enrolled in the school. I needed to get the new clones back to the lair. There were no classes in session, and I wanted to start working.
Several heroes died to the scourge of my ooze and my teams' rankings only grew. It was only supposed to be a simple walk back to the lair. One silly hero was beaten to a bloody pulp. She happened to be a Fire rooster. That was pretty cool. I decided to make her my new battery. I decided to make a second pool. She was brought to the new pool and tossed in. She was on the verge of death when she was covered up. She groaned as she was drained by the new clone. I split and grew until the pool was half filled. The cultivation time began after that. When it was back to Core Formation, another bolt of lightning struck the pool. It obliterated most of the ooze on top of me, but I could just absorb it back to make use of it. After 30 hours, it was full again. I made a trio of doubled up centaur with the uniform, sweatpants and the hoodie. I put the remaining doses of the poison on them so they could move on to the next stage of cultivation as well. The weakened centaurs were still in the lair. Once they were done, they would be more powerful than the weakened pool of ooze. This would be great.
