Heroes: Sentinel (Chapter 5/16)

Chapter 5: Revelation 

Location: Sentinel Station. High Orbit Over New City USA.

“How’s the visit going, son?”

Adrian replies, “Awesome. I hear things are going great up there.” I bite my bottom lip, trying to figure out whether to talk about it now or wait until we’re face-to-face. My son laughs, “Wow, you really don’t have a poker face.”

“What?”

“Dad, I know what’s been going on up there. Sir and me talk every day and believe me when I tell you, he’s told me everything.”

“Oh. He did say that he would. I just didn’t know how or when. But, son, nothing happened. Well, not really. Nothing more than you’ve seen. Some nudity and stroking. Wow, that sounds so wrong. I stopped it. ”

“Why? Dad, you don’t need to worry. I asked Sir to visit you while I was here.”

“You didn’t mean, you know, like that, right? I mean, it felt intense.”

Adrian laughs, “Yeah, because you’re super-horny while Sir oozes sex. I’m glad he’s helping you relax and open up. Flying naked sounds amazing. I hope I can fly one day. Jumping really high just doesn’t sound as cool.” I don’t know what to say. My son waits then when I don’t respond, he asks, “Dad, can I say something to you that you might not like?”

“You can always be honest with me, son.”

“I love and admire you so much.” I smile then he continues, “But something I’ve realized from living with you is that you’ve spent way too much time being Sentinel 100% of the time, alone on that space station. Work is your life.” I start to object, but he cuts me off, “Dad, I’m not criticizing you. But like when I said I want to go to Paris and asked if you’ve been, what did you say?”

I frown, “I talked about one of the times I was there.”

“Dad. You talked about holding up the Eiffel Tower because you had to keep it from tipping over while the rest of The Assembly battled the Marquis de Folie.”

“Well, wasn’t that a good story?”

“That’s not my point, dad. I’m pointing out that you’ve been everywhere, but you’ve never visited anywhere.”

“Okay, I guess that’s true.”

“What I want to know is what makes you happy? Other than me. I don’t know your hobbies. Do you have any? Who’s your BFF? Is it Bear? I like him but you guys feel like you’re newly dating, not best friends. I mean, you guys sure don’t know much about each other except for work. Do you know anyone outside The Assembly?”

I open my mouth but I realize that I can’t answer any of his questions. I close it and we stare at each over the video comm link.

“I know you didn’t grow up in a normal way, but it’s not too late. I love my parents. You. My friends. Clubbing. Travel. Art. Working out. Hockey. Lots of stuff. While I’m here and you’re there, take Sir up on his offer to expand your horizons. I love Sir. More importantly, I trust Sir. He’s an incredible guy.”

“I agree with you, son. That’s why I’ve gotten closer to Bear. He’s genuinely my first friend, that’s why it seems new. It is. The past few months have been very … illuminating. And I trust Intrepid too, obviously. I appreciate that both of you love and care about me.”

“I’m glad, because he really likes you but we both think you need a push to find happiness. Sir pushes me, but he protects me, too. He’d never do anything bad to me. Or anything I don’t want. Let him push you. He’ll never do anything you don’t genuinely want, either. And don’t use me as an excuse not to try new things.”

This is not what I expected but it does have me thinking. I am a lot happier now with him and Carlos in my life and in my home. “So, what do I do from here, oh wise son?”

Adrian laughs, “Whatever you feel like doing. Not what I think you should do. Or even what you think you should do or feel. Go with it. Try new things. Experiment with a hobby. Get a secret identity. Spend time on Earth as a normal person. Let loose. Sir and me will help you however you want. Just be you. And that means being more than Sentinel 24/7.”

We make some more small talk then sign off with mutual “Love you” reassurances. Even though he’s 18, he’s smart. And I’m feeling like he’s right. I didn’t have any life. Now, Bear and I hang out, so he is my best friend, but it’s a one horse race. I don’t know that I’m his best friend. My sexual encounters have been more biological imperative than any kind of emotional experience. Having Adrian and Carlos here has been life-changing. I’m just realizing how much.

I spend the rest of the day on work in my command center. I know, I know. It’s like I haven’t learned anything. But in this case, I need to work. There’s a very dangerous villain on the loose, looking for a big weapons score. The Assembly leadership council asked me to take point. Black Belt is handling intelligence. He’s narrowing down where the exchange will happen. I just need to be ready when the call comes.

Dr. Daemon is one of my archenemies. He’s brilliant, diabolical, and magically gifted with the ability to control mystical energy from the Rouge Monde, a mystical pocket dimension. While Daemon’s red energy can’t hurt me, he has successfully distracted and delayed me on numerous occasions while his heavily-armed henchmen complete their mission, making him the most successful opponent I’ve ever faced.

The villain is also very attracted to me, seeing our conflicts merely as foreplay. In his warped mind, we’re star-crossed lovers destined to rule the world together. Because he doesn’t understand the concept of morality, the monster interprets the fact that I don’t use lethal force against him as a sign that I am testing him, making him earn my heart with some massive catastrophic event as proof of his worthiness.

While that’s all clearly insane, if Daemon is buying experimental weapons, those weapons will be extremely volatile and dangerous. I need to prevent the acquisition at all costs. I go through everything Black Belt has learned. Looks like I’ll have a few days before it happens but I can still work out my game plan. How can I make sure that he fails this time?

It’s the middle of the night, so I move to the kitchen for a snack and to clear my head. As I gulp water back, Intrepid comes in. “Ah, no more naked dancing?”

I joke, “You’re one to talk. I’ve never seen you naked.”

“But you’d really, really like to.” I hesitate. The handsome young hero moves in. He reaches out and unfastens the sash on my robe. It falls open and his hand explores my muscular, hairy torso. “Some rewards can be earned. But some rewards are better when they’re won.”

“How about arm wrestling?” He gives me a skeptical look. “Checkers?”

“We could keep it simple. Rock-paper-scissors. Best two-out-of-three.”

“So, you’re offering nudity if you lose. What do you want if you win?”

“Good question.” Intrepid thinks, even though I know he has something in mind. He’s maneuvered me into another contest for a reason. “If I win, I get to really explore your ridiculously perfect body. Unfettered access to all 6”8” / 320-lbs of muscle from head to toe.”

My cock twitches but I push back, “Sorry, no. Just no.”

“You don’t mind me rubbing you. I’m doing it right now.”

“Sure. On the surface. But …”

“Ah, no penetration. Fair enough. I won’t enter your body. Unless you want me to.”

The young stud backs up. We extend our hands. There’s a strategy to this. I’m hoping to throw him off by being unexpected. I think he’d expect me to do rock. Meaning he’ll do paper. ONE-TWO-THREE … I do scissors. He does … rock. Damn! ONE-TWO-THREE … I do scissors again. He does … paper. Yes! Even score. He looks surprised, which makes me happy.

Last round. I take a drink, imposing a break. I need to think on this one. I decide I’ll never guess right, so I’ll go entirely on instinct. ONE-TWO-THREE … I go for rock. So does he. ONE-TWO-THREE … I go for scissors. So does he. ONE-TWO-THREE … I choose scissors again. And he does … rock. Damn. I lost again. Oh well, so he gets to feel me up. No big deal.

“Clothes off, Sentinel.” I sigh and drop my robe then pull off my tights. As I do, he says, “Good game. You were pretty tricky on a couple of those.” I don’t say anything. I just stand tall and wait for him to start touching me. I’m surprised when the hot Latino hero turns away and walks towards the room he shares with my son. “SENTINEL! COME!” I quickly follow behind him.

Instead of going into their bedroom, he goes into the room beside it. My eyes go wide as I see what he and Adrian have done. They said they made a playroom. I never expected this. There’s a boxy metal frame, like a squat rack but with chains and cuffs hanging from it. A large wooden ‘X’, also with cuffs and chains. I see a padded sawhorse. A large cage. Chains and leather hanging from the ceiling. Sex toys on shelves and clear bins. I’m overwhelmed.

The young stud pats the large metal box frame as he hops up on a 1’ high platform that surrounds it, “Come on over.” I move in. I lift my arms and spread my legs. “These hold your son, but I don’t think they’re fully Sentinel-grade. Of course, what is, right? So, you’re going to have to not pull too hard. Control is key.” I nod as he locks me in. I get why the platform is here. Adrian and I are both so tall that it makes Intrepid closer to even. I pull a little and see what he means. I could snap this like a twig.

I calm myself using the breathing techniques Intrepid taught me. He pats my stomach, “The breathing exercises. That’s a great idea. Good boy.” I growl at the word ‘boy’. He says, “Now, now. That doesn’t sound relaxed.” I re-focus on breathing slowly. It becomes harder as his hands rest on my hips. My cock rises up between his forearm, pointing at him.

Intrepid starts exploring. His index fingers trace down the cuts of my Apollo’s belt from my sides to my manhood. The hands move out. He crouches, rubbing and caressing my legs. As he does, he asks me questions, “Are you a virgin?” I scoff. He shrugs, “You do have a son, but I don’t know the story behind that. Neither does boy.”

My cock softens. Intrepid says, “I see. Not a good topic.” He rises and grabs my flaccid cock, jerking me while caressing my furry chest and abs. “What about that hairy beast you have over for dinner? Bear? You two fuck buddies?” I moan and my cock powers up again. “So, Bear and Sentinel. Nice. You know, the Young Crusaders is a total fuckfest.” He massages my pec. “When they’re not working, they’re fucking. It’s basically like living on a porn set.”

Now, I’m hard again. Adrian is right. I am super-horny.

Intrepid circles behind me and starts feeling my broad back. He goes from shoulders to calves then back up. He rubs my shaved armpits, “This is nice.” I explain that when I was starting out in a sleeveless bodysuit, my mentor told me to keep them smooth. “And you’re still obeying that order. Interesting.” He touches them lightly the pokes around. “Not ticklish. Too bad.”

I feel his hands on my ass. That gets a loud moan from me. “You like that. Good.” I grunt as he manipulates them, pulling them apart then closing them. “Your whole body is sculptural but this ass is the most spectacular I’ve ever seen. So round. So smooth. So muscular. And down into these tree trunk legs. Woof.” The young hero circles the platform to stand in front of me. With us eye to eye, we have an intense staredown.

Intrepid leans in and kisses me on the lips. I moan in surprise but I don’t resist. I fight to stay relaxed. Partly for our deal but I have to admit, I want to experience this. I want really do want to feel what he’s doing. I’ve fantasized about it. His lips are soft, his breath fresh. My mouth responds as he caresses my body. We kiss. All lips, no tongue, as he honors our deal. I don’t. I extend my tongue between his lips into his mouth.

The young hunk pulls off and moves his lips to my ear, “Is that an invitation?”

I nod, “Just for your tongue. Nothing else.” Carlos gets a devilish grin. I quickly add, “In my mouth. Nowhere else.”

The handsome hero starts kissing me again. This time, he holds nothing back. I groan as he dominates my mouth. My cock is so hard he could stand on it. I kiss him back but he’s in total control. I feel his hands grip behind my back and he pulls me into him, our bodies pressed together tightly. His other hand is locked on my ass, squeezing my butt cheek.

When he stops kissing me, I don’t know what to say. I miss his mouth. I realize how much I’ve missed during my life of solitude. Even when I’ve had sex, I’ve never had a kiss like that. Intrepid steps to the side. He grabs under my chin, holding my head up. His other hand slides down my back. When he reaches the top of my crack, I instinctively thrust my hips forward.

“Intrepid, what - what are you doing?”

“Shh. A deal’s a deal.” I feel his finger part my ass cheeks. I relax to avoid hurting him. He just runs his finger up and down. I moan, which he takes it as encouragement. Maybe it is. He rubs on my hole but doesn’t penetrate me. It feels so good. I hear him whisper, “You are spectacular. Look how far you’ve come. Just think about much farther you’ll go.”

How far? I push my hips backwards fast. My ass swallows his finger. As I willingly slide it inside me, I moan, “It’s okay. It’s okay. Please, just keep going.” I encourage him as he takes over. He still holds me by my chin. I could break free so easily, but I don’t. Now with my permission, he penetrates me deeper with his finger. I gasp but let myself go with it. It’s like I’m back in a trance, just all feeling, no thoughts. I move my hips. He lets me fuck myself on his finger.

The young hero starts sliding his finger back-and-forth inside me. It feels so strange. And so wonderful. He plunges it in even deeper. I can’t speak. Intrepid massages my prostate and I can only moan, gasp, and whimper. He comments how big my cock has grown. I realize it’s leaking. I try to form words but all I can seem to do is stand here and let this play out.

My cock throbs and my balls tighten. I’m instinctively pushing back against his hand to get his finger in deeper. I’m going to shoot if this keeps up. I get nervous. I start overthinking what we’re doing. I find my voice, “Intrepid! Please, that’s enough! Please!”

The young hero immediately stops. His finger slips out of me and his hand moves away. I shake my head, trying to gather myself. I turn to him, “I’m sorry. I just … thank you, but no more tonight. I think I’ve pushed myself enough.”

“I understand. It was a big step for you.” Intrepid releases me from the metal frame. He reaches up and pulls my head into a soft kiss. He says, “I’m so proud of you. And I’m here for you any time.”

I can only nod then take off quickly. I get in the shower. I can’t resist sliding my hand over my ass, splitting my crack with my right index finger, and penetrating my hole. I work up the nerve to add my middle finger. Oh. I hold my cock in my left hand, slowly pumping it in rhythm with my fingers working inside me. This is … oh.

I quickly pound out a huge load as I fuck myself. My whole body shivers and shakes with more intensity than I’ve ever had masturbating. I think about my son telling me to do what I want, what feels good. This certainly feels good. It felt great. Maybe I should’ve let Intrepid keep going.

Up next … we leave the space station and reach the next level in Chapter 6: Collaboration - Sentinel Joins the Young Crusaders? (1/11/2023)
