48 Secret Feature, Colossus, Confession

'Eclipse Harbingers, that is what I'll call them!'

[Ding! Activating hidden function of System]

[The item has been granted the following abilities based on the name you have granted it.]

[Eclipse Harbingers- When you use forces of opposite values IE: Water and Fire, Yin and Yang, Damage is doubled and any affects that those forces would have on the target are multiplied by 3. Weapons are bound to the Host's soul and any kill done with the weapon stores the soul of said person for the Host to grow their soul. Other abilities are locked behind level cap and existential evolution value.]

'Holy shit, that's broken...'

It was when the words of sis stopped that I felt a weight appear in my soul and two enchanting looking weapons appeared within it. They were exactly as I had pictured them in my mind.

That was when I snapped out of my thoughts as I got tugged forward. I soon found that Illyana had dropped Jean's hand but kept mine in hers as she asked for some space from Storm. Jean was irked, she stared daggers at me as Storm shuffled over to allow me to sit.

"Thanks."

"It is no issue."

We continued to sit in silence as Scott was getting food for everyone. A minute passed in completely awkward silence, Jean still staring at me and every now and again glancing towards Illyana. Every time I saw her glance I tightened my grip on Illyana's hand a little before loosening. I couldn't help but perceive Jean as a threat to me and Illyana's relationship, if that is what it could be called.

'Bloody bitch with her ranga hair and her shit style.' (Author- Yes 'ranga' is a word, it's Australian.)

Storm, who easily sensed the issue began speaking to Illyana in an attempt to break up the staring competition me and Jean had been having.

"So, Illyana, I heard that your powers have fully awakened now... You used to be only able to use some small spells, what can you do now?"

"Hehe, Its just a small change. I can summon a spectral sword and increase my physical capabilities with magic, allowing me to at least get half as powerful as Emelia!"

Her tone was joyful and happy as she turned to look at Storm, her expression becoming more so as she continued to speak.

"You should see Emelia's powers she can teleport around the battlefield and across vast distances easily... I'm afraid I'll never be able to do that."

I felt proud of my abilities as she spoke about me but I was overwhelmed by the cuteness of her as she sulkily added her doubts at the end. I wrapped my hand around her for a hug, something in my soul telling me to say something about her abilities.

"You'll easily be able to do what I can do with teleportation, something tells me that you'll be even more effective than I am with it."

"Really? You mean it?"

"Of course I mean it, I have a sixth sense about these things."

My lips were assaulted by hers after I finished speaking, my mind buzzing at the sensation until it ended as quickly as it began. Noticing a massive smile now painting her face I couldn't register the loss of her lips on mine as I smilingly tilted my head to the side to admire her beauty from another angle.

With my En I could feel several items around the hall lift several inches off the tabletops before gently landing back where they were originally, this causing an even larger smile to grace my lips.

[Heh, she's quite mad.]

'Don't give a shit.'

Scott soon came back with multiple plates followed by a tall body builder looking man with short black hair and grey eyes. He's facial features looked similar to Illyana's making him seem as if he was her brother, and this was proven true seconds later as Illyana leaped up and with a large jump hugged her brother.

"Brother! It's good to see you!"

"Ha ha ha, Is good to see you too my sister!"

A strong Russian accent coated his words as he wrapped his hand around her back, his forearm muscles looking as thick as steel beams making the display of affection and care more polarising for my thoughts. 

'He looks dangerous but when I see him holding her in a hug he seems like a huge teddy bear.'

[*Munching of popcorn*]

'Really?'

[Mhm.]

"What have you been up to brother?"

"Not much, training, eating, fighting. I heard from professor about fight... I hope you are okay? Not much injuries?"

"So the usual then. Yeah the fight was difficult but Emelia was there to help along side the professor."

"Emelia? Who is this Emelia?"

"Ohhh, I forgot! Emelia! Come greet my brother."

I almost spat out my food as she called me out like that, the only thing stopping me being the fact it was halfway down my throat already.

"Uhuhu, sorry one second..."

I picked up some water and gulped it down before standing up and walking over to Illyana. As I did all of this Colossus put down the food for Jean and Storm, Scott already sitting down watching the introduction go down, whilst munching on some bacon and eggs.

'Is everyone watching this!?'

' " Yes " '

[Yeap, we are.]

'What in the fuck!? Who was that `Yes` from?'

[Dr Xavier.]

'Fuck...'

I had now walked over to Illyana's side looking at the 7 foot giant that was Colossus. He was more intimidating closer up than he was further away, as his eyes were completely grey making it harder for me to get a grasp of his emotions, I currently didn't have the Sharingan activated as it hurt my brain after a while.

"Is good to meet you. Thanks to you for saving my sister."

"Haha, It was really no problem especially since I like her romantically."

'Huh, where did that confidence come from? Huh?'

[Hah! Sin of Lust go 'Brrrrrrr']

Illyana's face went completely red as Colossus's head recoiled slightly from the revelation. His expression looked like his 'Windows' was rebooting, I could even feel the spinning ball of death floating inside of his head. It was only moments later that I saw his face changing to excitement as he looked at Illyana. 

'And there it is, the windows reboot noise.'

[*Da Da Dum*]

'Wrong one, but whatever.'

[Pshhh, fucking nerd.]

'Hey!'

"Is what she says true Illyana? Did you find one for you?"

I could feel Jean lean forward in her chair her eyes focusing on Illyana, waiting on the answer. The whole entire space was quiet as they all waited on Illyana. Even I was nervous and silent as I side-eyed her, waiting for the answer.

It all came to a head when, blushingly she looked down and to the right, nodding soon after doing so. I was elated as a huge smile emerged on my face, larger than all the previous times. Jean clenched her fists until they were white at the knuckles, her anger barely withheld. She soon got up out of her seat and walked out of the hall, trying to make as little of a scene as possible.

'Heh, I win.'

[That's petty.]
