“Yes. I can feel it.”
“Do you want to feel this again?” I said.
He looked at me.
“Then destroy this asshole,” I said. “Once and for all.”
“I can’t,” Kren said. “He’s too strong.”
“Too strong for one neb maybe,” I said. “But two? He doesn’t stand a chance.”
Kren shook his head and then felt that pulse in my belly again. A new resolve took over and he turned to face the Supervisor in his full suit of armor.
“You seriously want to do this the hard way?” the Supervisor said. “Okay…”
I felt the pulse in the pit of my belly, the sense that the baby wanted to do something else, something more. I didn’t pretend to understand what it was but I would run with it.
Twice now my unborn baby had saved my life. Twice it had used that throbbing beam of light to save its mother.
And now, it would save not only me but its father too.
“Kren,” I said. “Wait. Here.”
I took his hand and placed it on my belly.

KREN
I was confused why she wanted to waste time with me touching her belly when I had to fight the Supervisor.
Except I wasn’t sure I could. His armor… It was all the most powerful elements of the fighters stitched together.
Earlier, I managed to beat four of them. Could I beat this many in one go?
The moment my fingertips touched her stomach, I felt it. It wasn’t a kick or a heartbeat. It was a thud much like the soft glow in my chest, only much smaller and weaker.
And there was something else too.
The throb was attached to something. It felt like a tiny hand reaching up to touch me.
I didn’t hesitate. I reached out with my own power and touched that glowing light.
We were joined.
Its power was small but through me, it harnessed a strength far greater than the both of us.
I groaned in pain as the power flooded my system. I’d never felt anything like it. The river was a wild rush and blasted me from the inside and roared in my ears.
“Kren?” Ivy said. “Are you okay?”
“Yes,” I said in a voice that seemed far too calm. “I’m fine.”
“Enough of this!” the Supervisor said. “Your time is at an end!”
He bolted forward at an incredible speed.
I reached out with my hand and kept the other on Ivy’s belly, I sensed every ability the Supervisor had hammer into his armor. I didn’t know how he did it and I didn’t care.
