50 Chapter 49: Date Night

A/N: Surprise. A three chapter release for you guys. Which I will do again if we make it into the top ten of the power rankings. So please give me those stones.

------------------------------------

After we spent an hour reviewing their performance during their first combat assessment I let the new recruits go for the day.

I then headed for my room, freshened up, and then grabbed a bite to eat before heading to my personal lab.

Upon arrival I got ready to dive into one of my latest projects, only for ADAM interrupt me.

"Roman, forgive me for interrupting you but I have urgent news."

"What is it?" I asked.

Because when ADAM said he has urgent news, unlike many people, he means it.

"While I was reviewing the data from our company satellites I came across scans and other evidence that confirmed the placed you informed me about in Antarctica, the Savage Land, is in fact real." ADAM explained.

"I see. Thank you for informing me of this." I spoke.

So, the Savage Lands are real in this version of the MCU.

Nice.

Because if the Savage Lands are real it stands to reason Antarctic Vibranium aka Vibranium B aka Anti-Metal is real as well.

And if that is the case, then it shall be mine.

Just like Vibranium A.

Though at the moment acquiring the former will be a lot easier than acquiring the latter.

I've had no luck tracking down Klaue, but given that man evaded Wakandian authorities for over a decade now that's no suprise, and while I could simply go to Wakanda itself and take some Vibranium from them I would rather avoid that situation unless absolutely necessary.

Thus for right now I'll take any Vibranium I can get.

Even if Antartic Vibranium has different properties from Wakandian Vibranium its still Vibranium.

Meaning I need to plan and take a trip to the Savage Lands in the near future.

A trip I will prepare for meticulously, given all the dangers of the Savage Land, and the fact it was one of Sinister's many bases in the comics and television shows. 

So yeah, no trip without sufficient preparation.

"ADAM create a file named: Savage Land Expedition." I told him.

"It shall be done." ADAM said. "Is there anything else you require from me at the moment."

"No, that will be all for now." I told him.

"Very well." ADAM said.

He then took his leave.

Once he did I focused my attention back on the project I was getting ready to dive into before ADAM interrupted me.

Which is trying to isolate and extract the healing factor mutation in Laura's blood so that I can turn it into a serum and give that part of her powers to Emma.

Not only so Emma will be able to recover almost injury, but also because with the healing factor mutation it will slow down her aging process to a snails pace and she'll be able to live for hundreds of years.

Making it so we can be together for a long time.

Because a short while ago I realized, barring extreme circumstances, I am nigh immortal.

Which don't get me wrong I love, but when I thought about all the people I loved aging and dying around me I felt like someone had dumped a cold bucket of water on me. That's the reason I stared this project.

Working on the computer terminal in front of me I pulled up the data I had accumulated so far after extensive examination of Lauras' blood.

Blood she gave me willingly when I asked for it I might add.

A fact I am extremely grateful to her for.

Since it makes it easier to carry out the project this way. If I run out if blood I can simply ask Laura for more.

Oh and as to why I'm not using my own blood for this project that's because the stuff running through my veins is simply too dangerous.

I am deadly serious.

I realized long ago just how special my blood, DNA, or really any piece of me is. Given my abilities. I shudder to think what would happen if Hydra, or someone like Trask or Sinister got ahold of any of my DNA.

That's a nightmare scenario. One which I must avoid at all cost.

I must also be careful with how I use my own blood.

Thus why I am using Laura's for this project.

Typing away on the computer terminal I delved into my work with a vigor.

Thinking it wouldn't take me long at all to get the results I wanted.

Not knowing at the time how wrong I was.

------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the data on the computer terminal in front of me I sighed, and then clicked my tongue.

A month has gone by since I started my project to isolate Laura's healing factor and turn it into a serum in earnest, and a month has gone by since I've hit a wall.

I started off well.

Extremely well in fact.

The project was progressing smoothly and then it came to a grinding halt. No matter what I do, no matter what I try, I just can't seem to break down this wall in front of me.

"Dammit." I muttered. "What am I missing?"

I have a brain that functions as a supercomputer for gods sakes. 

I should've solved this by now, and yet the solution keeps alluding me. Like a woman who teases you and then leaves you blue-balled.

And right now I have a serious case of blue ball's.

Leaning back in my chair I looked over my research data, seeing if I could find a clue in it to help me progress the project onto its next stage.

Though after getting no breakthroughs after staring at my research date for ten minutes I decided to call it a day.

Closing down all the files I stood up and stretched a bit.

When I did ADAM suddenly spoke.

"No luck in completing the project today either Roman."

"Yep. You got it in one my friend. I had no luck today either." I replied. "Still, that doesn't mean I'm giving up. I won't until I crack this."

"I know you would not. It is not in your nature." ADAM said. "But if I may offer you some advice. I think a true break would do you good."

"Oh." I said. "Yeah, you're right."

After all for the past month I've done nothing but work on this project, train the new Guardian recruits, and handle company business. Sure I've taken breaks, but I haven't really had any serious "me" time lately.

So with that in mind I know what I'm doing tonight.

I also know who I'm going to do it with.

Picking up my phone I dialed up Emma. Who answered after one ring.

"Yes, Roman. Do you need something?" Emma spoke.

"Nothing. I just wanted to inform you to get ready since we're going out on a date in the city tonight." I said.

Because for the past month Emma and I haven't really spent any intimate time together either. Making me miss her.

So since I need some "me" time and I've never taken Emma out in a proper date I figure I can kill two birds with one stone.

"What time are we leaving?" Emma asked me.

"In an hour. Be ready, oh and try to keep it casual my dear." I told her. I then hung up the phone and left my lab, to go get ready for my date.

-----------------------------------------------------

Stepping through a portal into a New York alleyway, Emma and I were hand-in-hand.

Both raring to start our date.

Walking out of the ally we found ourselves in the hustle and bustle of the cities people. But we made them hardly any attention and focused on each other.

Looking Emma up and down I saw she took my words to keep it casual seriously. Currently she's wearing a white blouse, with a few buttons open at the top revealing a bit of her cleavage, skin-tight blue jeans, and ankle-high black boots.

"You look stunning my dear Ms. Frost." I told her.

"Well, you're not to bad yourself Mr. Maxwell." Emma told me.

"Why thank you." I said.

Happy that Emma liked my choice in clothing.

Which is a button-up long-sleeve dark-green shirt, a red jacket, blue jeans, and finally black and white Air Jordan.

I took Emma's hand. "Well then, let us go."

"Yes." Emma replied.

Thus we began our date.

First we went to get something to eat. Our meal being some New York deep dish pizza topped with Italian sausage, pepperoni, and mushrooms.

After dinner we had some dessert.

Some ice cream from a local stand.

Our bellies full we decided to work off all that food by simply walking around the city. Seeing various sights and really just enjoying spending time with each other. Like some old married couple.

Even though we aren't so.

Yet.

Marriage is way off the future.

Besides I still need to secure my second wife Laura.

But just like marriage that is a slow path I am heading towards at the moment.

Emma and I walked until we found ourselves in Forest Park in Queen, New York.

Slowly moving along one of the trails I started humming a song from my previous life that I felt fit the situation perfectly.

"Hey Roman, what is that song you're humming?" Emma asked me.

"Oh, it's just something I heard a long time ago." I replied. Which is true, since I heard the song I am humming in my previous life. 'It's called 'I Really Want to Stay at Your House.' I can teach it to you if you want."

"Yes, please do." Emma said.

"Alright then." I said. I then prepared myself to sing the song.

But right before I did so a group of males walked up to me and Emma.

Turning my head to face them I saw they were drunk, and looked like the typical arrogant frat boys you see in films.

'What. Don't tell me we've run into such a cliché moment.' I thought.

"Hey beautiful, why don't you stop hanging out with that loser and come party with us. We promise to show you a real good time." The mob leading the group said. Slurring his words.

As he spoke I realized Emma and I had run into one of those cliché moments.

I mentally sighed upon realizing this.

Looking at the drunk frat boys in font of us Emma smiled at them, but the smile on her face didn't reach her eyes at all. Which were giving off a chilling glare. At least now I know why she's called Emma Frost. Her looks can be ice cold.

"What makes you think I would ever go anywhere with barbarians such as yourselves?" Emma coldly spat at the frat boys. "If you wish to satisfy your sexual urges, then I might suggest a circle jerk. That way all of you can get what you want without having to make any poor woman suffer what are likely the small dicks you all possess and likely try to overcompensate for."

"Pfft!!" I snorted. Bursting out laughing a second after I did so.

Ignoring the angry looks the frat boys put on their faces after Emma unleashed her sharp tongue against them.

"Bitch, who do you think you are?!" Mob two shouted. "I'll have you know my father is a judge!"

"And?" Emma questioned.

The second after she said this to mob #2 some veins started bulging atop his head. "Looks like you need to learn some manners..." He trailed off. Getting a glazed look in his eyes.

The same with all his companions.

Which I knew was from Emma using her telepathy on them.

"Give me a moment Roman. Then we can get back to our date." Emma said.

"Sure." I replied.

I then let Emma do her thing.

Which was literally making the frat boys stand close together in a circle, drop their pants, and start jerking each other off.

She literally made them perform a circle jerk.

That's both funny and terrifying at the same time.

It's also a reminder to never piss off Emma Frost.

"There, my business is conclude so let us depart." Emma said.

"Yes." I replied.

The two of us then hurried along.

Then about fifteen minutes after we left those frat boys who were literally holding each other's dicks in their hands, we stumbled upon a concert performance.

Looking at it Emma and I were instantly entranced by the singer performing on stage. Especially the light affects she was using. It is beautiful.

The two of us got swept up in the energy of the concert and even started cheering for the singer on stage.

But that came to an abrupt end when all of a sudden two small tornadoes suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Agh!!!"

"Run!!!"

"Look out!!"

People yelled and screamed in terror, and the lively concert turned into a stampede of horror as people ran for their lives to escape the two tornadoes.

While they did so Emma and I got serious and looked for the source.

Using all senses at our disposal.

Within a few moments I discovered the source of the tornadoes.

A man who appeared on the stage.

Along with two others.

One of them being Azazel. I'd recognize his red demonic-looking ass anywhere.

[Insert Image of Azazel here]

After recognized Azazel I soon realized one of the other men was Janos Quested aka Riptide.

[Insert Image of Riptide here]

'At least now I know where the tornadoes came from.' I thought.

Riptide made them.

The third men with them I didn't recognize. But what I did recognize was that the three of them were targeting the singer who was just performing on stage.

Seeing this I was suddenly reminded of a similar situation from the comics. A moment later everything clicked into the place.

The girl on the stage Alison Blaire, also known as Dazzler. I'm sure, since the Hellfire Club in the comics pulled this same shit, only then Emma was apart of them.

Not like now when she's at my side.

Moving on I nudged Emma on the shoulder and then pointed at the stage.

Seeing this she nodded.

Once she did so the two of us started to approach the stage. Not only to save Alison, but also to fuck up the Hellfire Club members in front of us.

Something I really want to do since these bastards have ruined my first official date with Emma.

So for them I will show no mercy.

They better be ready.

For they shall pay for this transgression in blood.
