Chapter 16 - What's the difference?

I had my suspicion when looking at the child before me. Even without using my Omniscience still able to guess that she was Colossus' little sister. 

"She's your little sister that you've mentioned so much about."

I don't know the original timeline but Illyana was born around 6 years ago since I recall Colossus mentioning his parents having another child. 

Though, it is hard to see that she was his brother since the little goldilocks seem harmless compared to his hulking brother. She giggled as I patted her head and ate the treat I gave her. 

"That's right, she just arrived today.  I was planning on showing her around but the professor called for me. Actually it's the perfect time, can you two show her around, just for a few hours?"

Colossus scratches his head feeling ashamed to ask in taking care of her. 

"I don't mind, she might get along with my daughters. How about you, Ororo?"

"Not at all, but let us ask Illyana if she likes to come with us? Do you want us to show you around?"

She knelt down at an eye level with Illyana who was still nervous around us looking at her brother who nodded then became excited.

"Yes, Miss Munroe."

"My isn't she well mannered."

Ororo took her and carried the young girl up in the air who giggled while I looked at Colossus curious about something. 

"Is she a mutant?"

"You tell me. If she is then I want her to stay in Utopia for a year to train her powers."

I nodded and used my power to see if she had any mutant genes and unsurprisingly she possessed a dormant power that was slowly mutating. However, something more piqued my interest that was hidden within her mutant powers.

"Well, you're in luck, she's a mutant but it's still dormant and as for her power, I don't know."

Obviously I lied since the only ones who truly know my true powers are those who are closest to me like my brother and girlfriends. I trust them enough to not tell anyone and their connection to me is perfect compared to everyone in the world. 

I may infect everyone doesn't mean it is perfect since some are able to hide things from me if I don't consciously search for it. I've already learned my lesson trying to spy on people after seeing macho men in bed wrestling. 

Gah, even the mind stone won't ever get rid of that horrid image in my mind.

What was I saying again? Ah right, Illyana! Not only is she mutant but her aptitude in magic was the highest one I've seen so far. I might ask Doctor Strange to teach her since my magic is mostly Chaos magic and I don't want her to wield it in case Chthon is spying for a new host.

I kept my eyes on Wanda in case she goes berserk and becomes the Scarlet witch. My power may be unparalleled but a multiversal threat is still far from my capabilities.  

"Then I'll keep it in mind. Well, Illyana, be a good girl and behave yourself."

Colossus reminded his little sister who was being carried by Ororo and gave him a nod. He smiled, giving her a pat before excusing himself.

"Then I'll be going and message you where I'll pick her up."

"Just go big guy, we can handle ourselves."

Giving a nod leaving us with Illyana who is still reluctant to be around new people. 

"Hey wanna do something amazing?"

"Amazing?"

I took her from the storm and let her sit on my shoulder before floating in the air that surprised Illyana. 

"We're flying!"

"Yes, we're flying. Hold on tight. Now where are you planning to go again?"

"Right, let's head to the training room since that's where I told the class we are going to meet. I believe Rogue is currently handling it while I'm gone."

"Wait seriously? Well, I hope she didn't let the kids go around and start creating chaos except Asteria."

Surprisingly among my daughter's Asteria is the most well behaved and more serious type. I've been trying to research her DNA or rather any substance only to fall flat since I am only able to map out my DNA from her while Gali is the more complex one. They came from the universe before this one and have different foundations. 

"I would have asked Jean but she busy at the Citadel's immagration."

"I did tell her that my clone can handle it but she refused."

"As expected, you should remember to not treat us like we can't do things on our own."

Right, the other girls like Jean were in the Citadel helping people settle down handling the mutant group. I told her my clones could do it for her but said she likes helping and dislikes that I treat her as a gentle flower. 

She acts as representative there in the government system. The interstellar government system is still new and underway there few people have been helping in those regards, not just me. 

One of them is Susan but she is more of the lead scientist in the development within the citadel along with Gali who happily gives pointers using her previous universe technology. 

Wanda went to kamar Taj in hopes to help her power even further with doctor strange helping her. I suggested it since this will help prevent Chthon from descending into this world. 

"Yeah, that's why I only use my cosmic power against the reality warping threat."

It may sound annoying but I've placed a rule that I'll only go all out against the same level of those I am fighting. 

That means I'll use my mutant power against street level threats while cosmic power would be the likes of elder gods and extra dimensional creatures.

Everything has been so convenient that I take things for granted. The girls would get mad if I always treated them like cute puppies. 

"Oh right, Illyana, are you enjoying the scenery? Isn't it beautiful?"

"Yeah! It's so beautiful! They're so many big houses!"

I chuckled seeing the skyscraper as we flew across the city and letting her witness many people use their power in day to day life. Obviously crimes are rare in these parts since we have set up tight security.

Of course who would want to leave a literal Utopia!? 

"Hehehe, I'm glad you like it." 

"What's that!?"

She proceeded to point in every direction asking questions that I happily told her. Along the way I bought a dragon stuff toy that she seemed to love. 

Few minutes later, we arrived at the school and walked our way to the training district. Along the way we encountered someone familiar. 

"Oh your guys are back? So how was the date?"

The person dressed in a pure white outfit that shows too much skin in my opinion and blonde hair with a near unmatched beauty.

"It was great, Emma. Wish you could join."

I smirked at her who didn't mind my words and ignored it but I did feel like a pulse of electricity ran through my mind.

"Don't think I'm an easy woman to tease."

"You know that's what I like about you."

"Fufufu glad that you're still the same bold and charismatic guy."

She moved closer to touch my Body seductively while I didn't back down and wrapped my arms around her. I knew that she liked the little game we played when meeting each other. 

I met her a year ago on a mission regarding an organization doing some suspicious things and ended up helping her hellfire club in the process. She eventually joins the X-men even though she likes to do things her own way.  

Like I said, never use my cosmic power when it comes to mortal level threats. It would be boring if I knew the outcome and one shot everyone. 

"God, get a room! Can't you see that there's a child here."

Emma stopped her seduction in a rather cute manner, finally noticing the young girl holding Ororo hands. 

"Apologize, I was so distracted that I didn't notice. Who might this girl be? A new student?"

"No, she's Piotr's little sister. we're just showing her around the place until Colossus comes to pick her up." ( Ororo )

"Is that so, she hardly looks like him. Well I'm here to check up on the new team of X-Men and also meet up with the girl that SHIELD sent."

The SHIELD still has no idea that they're at my fingertips and remain vigilant in some things. If my intuition is to go by then it would be Natasha Romanoff that would be the one spying this place. 

It was only accessible for mutants alike to avoid normal people from getting hurt.  They are probably anxious that it could be a threat to the world if all mutants got together and destroyed the remaining humans but a treaty has already been established and only doing this to be safe.

I've already been putting some suggestions to ensure things go as I planned without them realizing it.

"How about we head inside?"

Emma suggested as we followed inside with Ororo telling her about our night while I was far from them showing Illyana around. Seeing her eyes full of wonders reminds me of my daughters who are mentally of what they appear as except Asteria. 

We moved towards the safe room to watch the student training below. I went inside and saw my daughter playing with a red haired beauty who was smiling softly as she played with them. 

"It's daddy!"

My eldest daughter jumped towards me for a hug while Nova soon followed as they happily giggled.

"Did you two behave like good girls?"

"Yes! We were good girls! Auntie Nat has been playing with us."

Nova said, pointing toward Natasha who had her hair braided like my daughter's. Right, we've been acquaintances for some time now and mostly been good friends with Rogue. 

"Oh yo, did fury send you to stalk me again?"

My work day only made her smile, why do all the women in this world wear such tight spandex? 

"No, I was sent here to check on the progress of the Utopia and see if there's anything that could be a threat."

"Hmph, you make it sound like we're the one who is the only threat in the world."

Emma scoffed since she saw many mutants experimented on and the one of who managed to escape in such a place. The tension between the two began to grow while I frowned at them.

"We cannot rule out the possibility of a whole island of mutants going against us humans."

"Hmph, if anything humans are the threat."

"Okay stop it you two!"

I got between the two in stopping their argument with Emma being stubborn because of her alof nature seeing herself above others. 

"Emma, you know better that it is fair for them to act this way and don't pin the blame of group people to a whole race."

"Tch…..haa…sorry you can't blame me for being like this."

She sighed still a bit traumatized about the things she witnessed in her younger years. 

"I understand and Natasha hopes you don't take it personally."

"It's fine, I also understand that SHIELD had made an unrepairable mistake…"

In her eyes I can see something that she was hiding, her past life as an assassin. I've read records of her past and it was far too sensitive that I don't want to discuss it with her even though I knew her for 5 years now. 

Emma was still stubborn and didn't accept her sincere guilt. I mean SHIELD had hydra infiltrated in them and took some time to remove the rats. 

"Okay, enough gloomy things. Nova, Scarlet why don't you play with Illyana here?"

The two saw the goldilocks and quickly went to play with her. 

"Wait, where's Asteria?"

"Little sis went to read books in the library."

I nodded. The three played in the corner of the room with some toys and soon after we discussed things. 

"Just tell fury everything is under control and if anything happens then I'll take the blame."

"Are you being hasty?"( Ororo)

"She's right, do you honest believe that we'll go around killing people."( Emma )

"Of course not, I am merely suggesting that if we ever become a threat then I'll personally be the one to handle the situation and take the blame." 

They tried to convince but it is safe to doubt since I can't rule out extradimensional interferences. 

"I'll be at your side if that happens, Enzo." 

Natasha said with strong conviction in them that I feel flattered that she trusts me that much. 

"Still, tell that one eye demon to not mess with me or else I'll take his other eye and shove in his as-"

"Enzo! The kids!"

I was smacked by Ororo for cursing when they were children around even though the two of them are cosmic weapons. 

"That aside, let's see how Rogue is doing." 

Few minutes later went to the training room to find the place to be the arena type where a group of teens help fight a giant sentinel with Rogue at the side teaching them.

"You four are doing great but John you are disregarding your team. Try to lower your flames and find the blind spot."

She shouted at the group of young teens where there were 2 females and 2 male. They were around my age or younger with one of the young girls grabbing the leg of the giant sentinel before melting into the ground while the young girl protruded two hard claws in each hand and slicing through the metal like butter.

One of the male used his power to turn the robot into ice while the other melted it with his intense flames.

"Didn't expect you to be the teacher type."

"Oh sugar~!"

She moved closer for a passionate kiss that made the kids look to stop for a moment when they saw the group people arrive.

"All of you keep your eyes on the enemy!" 

Emma shouted getting the teens attention and kept their concentration in defeating the sentinel robot.

"Guess that the date went well, Sugar~?"

"It did, now you're the next in line."

"God I can't wait! Oh who's this?"

I went to introduce Illyana, surprising her a bit then quickly talking to her. 

"So your guys are the new X-Men huh? I'm Enzo."

I went to talk with the four teens who were curiously looking at me. I've seen them before in the live action and saw that one was Bobby or ice man and the other is John or pyro while the one with claws is I presume to be Laura.

Wait, wasn't she supposed to be younger than them? The Multiverse and timeline are just a mess in this world.

"Enzo? You mean THE Enzo Stark!? The one of the founder of Utopia and the person who started the intergalactic era of earth!?"

The ecstatic girl went rather close that made Rogue giggle since I'm not used to someone this enthusiastic about something. Upon closer she actually had brown hair and that uniform is just….is Charles a pervert? 

Though I cannot deny that he has some great taste. 

"Calm down, Kitty. Sugar can't answer if you get too close."

She blush realized her mistake that made Rogue smile to grow even wider. 

"Sorry! Sorry! I just don't know what came over me."

"It's fine, and yes I'm the one and only."

"Oh gosh! Wait, can we take a picture!?"

"Sure!"

She took out her phone and snapped a photo of us. 

"Can't wait for people to see this!"

"Right, I didn't catch your name."

"Oh god! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Katherine Pryde but people call me Kitty."

"Cute name."

Kitty blush from my statement and soon the others introduce themselves. 

"It's nice to meet you, my name is Robert Drake but my friends call me Bobby."

"The name's John but I prefer being called Pyro for obvious reasons."

He showcases his power a bit playing with his lighter. It's funny how he can manipulate fire but can't actually create them. 

"What about you?"

I turned my attention to the other young woman who hadn't introduced herself and tried to hide in the background. Kitty frowned and went to Laura pushing her.

"H-Hey Kitty! Stop pushing me!"

"Come on now, just introduce yourself. Nothing bad is going to happen."

She growls which in my opinion is rather cute. The young woman looked at me, still reluctant to say anything.

"Laura."

"That's not how you introduce yourself!"

"Cut me some slack will you!? I don't like getting others involved with me."

She outburst yelling at kitty who only sighed in defeat. 

"This is Laura, please don't mind her attitude. She just have…a problematic past."

Kitty said while Laura clicked her tongue and crossed her arms. Father like daughter huh? 

"I don't mind, she reminds me of Logan. Wait, are you his daughter!?."

"Not shit, pal. I'm he's clone."

"What's the difference?" 

I said looking at me confused since she doesn't realize what a real clone is like. There I made a clone of myself at the exact copy, surprising everyone. 

"This is a clone. We are the same person and the same mind but you, have your own right?"

"So what?"

"Nothing much, just letting you know the difference."

"Hmph whatever. I'm leaving if the training is over."

"Wait, we still haven't gotten our evaluation! Laura!"

Laura left even though everyone tried to stop her but I waved my hands.

"Let her be. My words will surely help her in the long run. Logan was the same. Lost, unable to find his direction in life until we help him." 

I said recalling the time we rescued Logan who doesn't have his memory even with my power his brain was too heavily damaged and took some time to repair. Not to mention the trauma that his life was would be a lot to take in for someone with amnesia.
