Chapter Seventy-five(75)

James also told them about their immortality and how it was removable if they wanted though it was under certain conditions. The reason for their improved strength though he didn't tell them about the symbiotes, he just made them know that should the situation call for it, he could create materials that would allow him warp reality so nobody was really worried about his safety and even if they did, the motherbox shut them up.

As soon as he crossed over to the other side, the feeling of freedom he hadnt felt in about a week or two returned. He had long since removed his watch since removed his watch even before he entered his mother's office to prepare for any situation and now that he had left, Elysium's influence entirely, he could feel all his powers return. The feeling of omnipotence returned again.

"Ahh it has been long since I felt this" James thought to himself then turned back to the door to see the others coming out of it one by one.

"This is for real, instant portal creation, what type of power source are these cubes using, can they create these portals repeatedly…" Hank started asking as soon as he came out of the portal.

He was a tech nerd and while this was not really in his ally considering he was more of a Geneticist too like Moira but he was also a Polymath and the resident tech genius for the X-Men, that is if the X-Men exist now. James wasn't really surprised by his attitude considering that Marvel always depicted him to be the curious type and sometimes naive considering the stupid thing he did in the comic where Matthew appeared.

Like this was a man who has witnessed just how horribly the government would treat them multiple times. They have created sentinels, sent armed soldiers to mow down children, hire psychopaths to create things for them to wipe out the so-called mutant threat and yet he stupidly contacted the human government and told them about what is probably the most powerful Mutant ever born. Honestly what was he expecting, a nice picnic party where they slowly tell the boy not to destroy anything when he has absolutely no control over anything.

"Please stop" James said as the situation was getting awkward in some way.

Another small detail here was that as soon as they all came out of the portal, Hank reverted back to his beast form. He grew larger, added more muscles and grew a lot of fur in fact his clothes didn't seem to be his anymore and as cherry on top, James could feel someone trying their very best to probe into his mind but unfortunately for them, the Motherbox isn't there for nothing. They are the absolute form of protection for a reason.

"Ooh…" Hank said as his excitement died when he noticed his change, the man really didn't like his Mutation at all

"Here, this should help" James said as he waved his hand and his fur slowly disappeared, his height reduced and he returned to normal

"You know sometimes, your mutation may not be a curse" James said as he also nullified Charles's powers too since he didn't have the time to deal with his nonsense at the moment.

"Wha…?" Charles said then trailed off as he shut his mouth

"Follow me" Moira said, gaining confidence after seeing Hank's change as she led the team into the research center.

Turns out that the Mutant Research Center wasn't as populated as James had expected but then again, not many people would be happy to be around a guy that can turn them into a chicken if even slightly irritated. According to the comics, Kevin or Proteus is a mutant that is weak to metal or at least metal can contain him for some reason but yet he can still manipulate said metal so it should be noted that whatever they were using now wasn't holding him. It was simply him that stayed there because he didn't want to hurt others or that he knew it was the best way to survive.

After several minutes of continuous walking, we arrived in front of a room which was sealed completely in fact it looked more like a secret room but James could feel psionic energy radiating from behind the sealed room.

"You guys were really serious about this, Paris" James called out as a door appeared beside him and a body floated out of it.

"Is that Kevin?" Moira asked in an alarmed tone

"Yes and no, this is a synthetic body I made specially for him, it's cells are made with organic steel to contain him" James explained to the alarmed mother, he understood how weird it was to look at the version of yourself that is basically dead.
