Impromptu Entrance Exam

- Sinthea -

Heading into the prison she waited as Anaconda unlocked the cell their VIP was chained up in, walking towards him as he stirred waking from his sleep.

Looking over his naked body she smirked cruelly seeing the countless cuts and snake-bites covering his body.

"Did you sleep well?" she asked mockingly as she pulled out her dagger, pressing it against his chest, the flat side of the cold steel resting against him. Watching him stare back, not saying a word she had to admit, he was as impressive as the stories said, she had seen great men break with only a fraction of what she had done to him. "You are a stubborn one... all you have to do is swear to obey me and this can all stop, all you're doing is delaying the inevitable."

"...I can do this all day." he replied, staring her dead in the eyes with a resolute look, he never glared at her.

"I'm sure you can, Captain. But can you do this all week? All month? All year? No-one knows you're here, no one is coming for you." she taunted, dragging the blade along his chest making him grit his teeth, not a single sound leaving him. He was fairly boring to play with, but she could respect his self-control.

Oh well, work before pleasure.

- Later -

Leaving the cell, she locked it again, seeing her prisoner stare at her from within.

Weeks of torture... and his will wasn't even slightly shaken. Captain America lived up to his reputation, and surpassed it.

Finding him was a major boon to her faction, when her spy in S.H.I.E.L.D stole their reports on their own search, she had her own people take up the search themselves, whether through luck or destiny, they found him. By the time he had recovered from his time in the ice, he was already in her prison, bound and drugged to stop him from simply punching his way out.

She could see how he defeated her father, the legendary Red Skull himself, but she would be the one to break him. To do what her father had failed to achieve.

The Red Skull was a brilliant leader, a strategic genius and... a terrible father.

The moment she was born she had his hatred simply due to her gender, the Red Skull was unwilling to accept a female heir, despising her for not being born male.

He didn't kill her, whether out of some minor mercy or to punish her she would likely never know, instead he simply threw her into a cell, not caring whether she lived or died.

She survived by eating whatever wandered into her cell, mostly rats and other rodents, and by the time she was old enough to free herself she found that her father had lost, the war he was fighting ended.

Despite being his heir, Hydra wouldn't accept her, Zola drove her away so he could lead Hydra in her rightful place. He even tried to have her killed, but she was the daughter of the Red Skull.

She could not die so easily, certainly not to a worm like Zola.

She survived and as she travelled the world, she grew in strength and knowledge, always training, always studying. She'd scrounged up any and all forms of power she could get her hands on, even stealing the formula of the longevity serum responsible for Nick Fury's own slowed aging. In time she decided that if Hydra wouldn't accept her, she'd make her own group and surpass them.

The Serpent Society, her Serpent Society.

She still planned on taking over Hydra of course, it was hers by birthright, and she wouldn't let Zola stop her, certainly not now that he was little more than a piece of programming.

She'd track him down eventually but she needed to be careful, Hydra had S.H.I.E.L.D under their control after all. She only had a single spy in S.H.I.E.L.D, and as useful as her spy was she hadn't missed her wavering loyalty.

Diamondback was infatuated with the legend of Captain America, and it was chipping away at the loyalty she had to the Serpent Society, to her.

...Ungrateful scum.

When she found the girl she was nothing but a broken shell, being kept prisoner, starved, abused and defiled by the young gang leader that would later become the mercenary calling himself Crossbones, her brothers murdered in their attempt to rescue her. It was Sin that made Diamondback into the talented spy she was now and the fool was wavering?

Over a idealistic fool like Captain America?

If Crossbones wasn't working for Hydra at the moment she'd arrange a reunion, as it stands she'd have to keep Diamondback assigned with someone she could trust.

If she wasn't their only set of eyes in S.H.I.E.L.D, she'd have her dealt with, but for now she was still needed.

Heading back to her office, she looked over her newer reports. She'd gotten carried away with the good Captain and had been falling behind.

Looks like Hydra were starting to lose their leash on Fury, they'd been trying to stop his 'Avengers Initiative' for a long time, but someone like Nicholas Fury couldn't be controlled forever, they should have known better than let him become director in the first place.

Looking over the list of targets she frowned, if Fury succeeded in hiring even a third of the enhance people he wanted, things would become... difficult for her.

Maybe it was time to pull back and head into the shadows... she didn't want to be the first target if he succeeded, and she'd already angered S.H.I.E.L.D enough with a few assassinations.

She still lacked the strength to fight them outright.

'The Hulk', a man who could shrink himself, Captain America (good luck finding him, they were looking in all the wrong places)...

Huh... a Mutant. Interesting, her father disliked Mutants, but she had no feelings towards them either way. Other than a dislike of Magneto and the threat he posed, the Jewish mutant truly hated Nazis and hunted them down wherever he could. As a group that most thought was just a Hydra Splinter-cell, the Serpent Society was included in that.

Kuro Tepes, a mutant with the power to nullify powers? She could see why he was on the list, she could use someone like that.

Still... it wasn't worth gaining Fury's attention, if Fury was watching this Kuro, she wasn't going near him. Trying to grab someone who Fury was watching like a hawk was foolish, especially when she had Captain America locked up in her basement.

She couldn't risk drawing unwanted attention before she had broken the Captain after all.

- Kuro -

Ugh... I hate mornings.

Even more so when I get woken up at six am... and dragged off by an asshole.

"I don't suppose you want to tell me where we are going now?" I ask the smirking man.

"We're going on a mission, Chuck picked up a new mutant last night but no-one was free, so I thought it'd be a nice introduction for you..." Logan says with an amused smirk, he woke me up before sunrise and dragged me to the Blackbird, not even giving me time to get changed.

Instead of my own clothes, I have an X-men suit, all black except the yellow x.

"And why bring me along? Storm said the other students weren't sent on missions since they didn't have enough training... I haven't had any training." I say with a half-glare.

"The kids are good, it's not skill they need it's experience... they'd freeze if they saw someone die, especially if it was by their own hands. But you? You saw that bastard tear through those agents with mild interest at best, no fear at all." he says, giving me a serious look.

True... a normal teen wouldn't have been so dismissive, but I'm just used to death.

"Fair enough." I say, no point lying to the Fucking Wolverine.

"I ain't gonna ask, kid. I'm the last person who can judge a bloody past..." he mutters, focusing on flying again.

"So, this is a test then? Was this the Headmasters idea?" I ask making him laugh.

"Nah, I didn't bother telling Chuck I was taking you with me. Better get comfy kid, this jets fast... but we have a long way to go." he says making me sigh. Where the hell is he taking me?

Objective: Survive whatever Logan has planned

Bonus Objective: Impress Logan

Reward: ?

Bonus Reward: ?

Well, at least I have a reason to do this. I like rewards. It might even be worth looking into joining the x-men depending on how good the rewards are. If the rewards prove to be worth the risks.

- Charles Xavier -

Logan had always been... difficult to control, the man simply did whatever he pleased and rarely listened to other peoples advise.

"As always, Professor.. you're ability to control your staff is most impressive." the scathing voice of Emma Frost said as she glared at him. She had wasted no time in coming in person to meet Kuro.

Which made Logan's decision to abduct him for an impromptu mission rather awkward. He'd simply left a small note telling them where he had gone. Claiming it was an entrance exam for Kuro. He was also ignoring any calls to the Blackbird.

"Logan has always been free-spirited, though if you had called ahead I could have told you that you'd be wasting a trip." he said calmly, watching her eyes tighten in barely hidden anger.

They were both skilled at controlling their emotions, but they just couldn't get along... either they were too different, or perhaps they were too similar. He had never liked people he couldn't read, they were too unpredictable.

"This was not a wasted trip... I will be meeting him today, I have cleared my schedule, so I can wait... you don't mind, do you?" she asked sarcastically, even if he did, she'd be a pain to remove from the campus.

She was already spying on him, leaving her in the campus wouldn't be that bad.

"Of course not, we're allies after all. You are welcome here for as long as you wish to stay." he said politely, watching her smirk.

"Do tell me when your attack dog brings Mr Tepes back, I'll be giving myself the tour while I wait." she said before she left his office.

As the door closed he released his grip on his wheelchair, taking a deep sigh.

His alliance with the Massachusetts Academy was of great benefit to both of them... but he really didn't like that woman.

- Kuro -

"Afghanistan? You brought me to Afghanistan?" I ask him as we leave the jet, looking around the mountain we landed on with a scowl... it's really cold here.

When I think about middle-east, I think hot deserts not snowy mountains.

"Yeah, this place is pretty hostile... slavers hide in theses mountains, if things get violent hide. You can't shrug off bullets after all." he says with a shrug.

"Would have been nice if you remembered that before you dragged me to a war-zone. My powers are good against mutants, not so good against being shot." I mutter, he goes to respond before he stops.

His nose twitches before he gestures towards a boulder, getting the message I move behind it just in time for the sounds of gunfire to begin.

Yep, this is how I saw today going. Hiding behind a rock with people shooting at me. Peaking out I watch with admittedly wide-eyes as Logan does what he does best.

I can't understand the arabic shouting, but I don't need to. Logan seems to understand it, but he doesn't bother responding as he charges the.. slavers I guess?

I have no idea what's going on. Can't understand the language after all, but we're here for a Mutant, and I could see someone activating their mutant power in desperation if they were grabbed by slavers.

Wait... this sounds familiar? Slavers, Middle-east... there was a Mutant with a backstory like that right? I didn't follow the New X-Men so I don't know for sure but it sounds familiar? I think her name was... Dust?

Well, now isn't the time for that.

As Logan tosses one of the slavers away, the body lands near me, after a moment of hesitation I reach out and grab the pistol attached to his belt, hiding back behind my rock.

It takes me a moment to work out the safety, but I'd rather have a gun than be defenceless. My power is worthless here. The only mutants around here are me, Logan and whoever we're looking for.

"You can come out now." Logan says calmly, making me sigh in relief as I come out from my rock, looking at the bullet ridden man, his wounds rapidly healing.

There's... a lot of bodies, if I had my Necromancy this place would be great. As I walk towards him, someone grabs my leg.

Unloading half the clip into the survivor I scowl and pull my leg free, kicking the corpse in the head... fucking jumpscares.

"Right... so we've met the locals, what happens now?" I ask making him sniff.

"Now we look for the Mutant, I can smell death that way..." he mutters, nodding further into the mountains. "You planning on keeping that?" he asks with a glance at the handgun still resting in my hands.

"I don't have hand knifes and I don't know how to fight. So yes, I'm keeping the gun." I say stubbornly, making him chuckle as he sets off following the scent.

It doesn't take us long to find what he can smell... the skeletal corpses scattered around look like they've been here for a while.

"...Guess this mutants more dangerous than you, this happened recently. This haven't rotted, something stripped the flesh right off the bone." he says lifting one of the bodies up and looking it over, before he tosses it to the side.

"So where's the Mutant?"

"Close, I can smell her... but her trail doesn't go anywhere... it's everywhere." he mutters looking around.

Walking forwards, I freeze as I feel something unusual under my foot. Looking down I make eye contact with a pair of wide brown eyes...

Why am I standing on someone?

- Sooraya Qadir -

Being grabbed by slavers was just the start to a series of unpleasant events, she still didn't know what had happened, one moment the slavers were tearing at her clothes... and then the next thing she knew they were all dead, her body becoming a part of the desert as the harsh sandstorm she unknowingly made ripped the skin from their bones.

She was a mutant... she'd heard about them, vaguely but she had never even thought that she could be one, that she'd ever even meet a Mutant.

The surviving slavers had fled the sandstorm.. running straight into someone else.

She'd heard the fighting, the gunfire and the screaming that followed, and in a panic she turned herself back to sand, settling on the ground and praying that she would go unnoticed.

She could understand English, though not fluently. She understood enough to know they were looking for a mutant, for her. So she'd decided to stay hidden.

That plan had gone downhill almost immediately, the moment the younger of the two approached her spot her new-found powers abandoned her, her body reforming...

Which was bad enough on it's own, but he was directly above her, his foot pressing down on her stomach as she stared up at him in growing fear.

It calmed her slightly that he seemed just as surprised as she was.

Realising that she was too cold she looked down, her eyes widening as she realised that however he had forced her to reform... her torn clothes hadn't joined her, leaving her naked on the ground... as his eyes moved over her exposed body she felt her shame surpass her fear, her arms moving to cover herself as best she could.

"So... you just planning on standing on her all day?" the older one said, amusement colouring his tone as he took of his jacket, tossing it towards her.

"Well, I wasn't expecting someone to just... pop out of the sand was I?" the younger one said, moving away, as he did she grabbed the jacket and used it to cover herself quickly, it wasn't big enough to cover much, but at least her breasts and privates were hidden.

She couldn't really blame him, she'd freeze if someone appeared beneath her as well. It didn't make her any happier about being seen naked by two strange men.

"You should expect weird shit when you're looking for Mutants... you okay kid?" he asked her making her jump at the sudden attention.

"W-who are you people?" she asked quickly, why were they looking for her? They clearly weren't from around here.

"The names Logan, I'm a Mutant, just like you, and him." he said, claws growing from his hands as he spoke. "And I'm here with an offer for you..."

As she went to speak, a loud bang interrupted her.

Looking over at the younger one, her eyes widened at the sight of the smoking pistol in his hands, her gaze moving to a surviving slaver.

Or... a formerly surviving slaver as he dropped to the ground, clutching his chest.

"Huh... nice shot, brat."

- Kuro -

Well this is awkward.

I can't help but feel like I've pissed her off.

After Logan did some convincing and a visit to Sooraya's home to talk to her mother, we're back on the plane heading back home, with the newest student.

Okay, fine... I may have stared a little to long, but you try responding quickly when you suddenly have a naked girl laying in front of you. I was surprised.

Also, she's pretty sexy and I didn't want to stop looking. She has lighter skin than Storm, but I like caramel just as much as I like chocolate... and vanilla for that matter. She's got some nice curves...

I do remember more about her now, she's the one who always wore the... dress thing that I don't know the name of, I think I read a comic where she gets into a kinda-argument with a blue-haired Mutant over it?

I really didn't follow those comics at all, honestly I was more of a Spider-Man/Iron-Man guy than an X-Men fan.

But I do remember that she's pretty serious about that whole, not exposing herself to men thing, which would explain why she's currently at -10 Affection with me.

Turns out, while her power lets her turn her clothes into sand as well, my power forces her back into her normal form... but it only seems to affect Mutants, not their clothes.

I blame Shiro, it seems like the smart thing to do.

Convincing her to join us was easy, she's seen what happens when she loses control after all... the whole tearing flesh of the bone thing to be exact, she seems pretty traumatised by the fact that she killed them.

Which is stupid, they were slavers. They had it coming... wait, have I ever been a slaver? I have enslaved people, but I've never sold them. I get attached.

Ehh, whatever.

The flight back is awkward for two of us, she keeps half-glaring at me like I've done something wrong, which is pissing me off but I don't want to show it.

Logan doesn't care.

As we land, I check my phone with a frown... 6pm already? So much for today. Sooraya leaves the jet as it lands, but Logan stops me.

"Want some advise form someone with more experience than you? Sticking your dick into everything is going to get you into trouble." he says with a smirk. "I could smell Kitty and Rogue on you this morning, someone's going to get hurt... and when all the girls have powers? That someone is probably you."

"...Then it's a good thing I can nullify powers isn't it?" I respond making him sigh, his smirk not leaving.

"Well... it isn't my problem. Just don't say I didn't warn you. You did pretty good today, better than I was expecting anyway. Probably shouldn't mention that you shot someone, Chuck's pretty idealistic, he doesn't like killing." he mutters, patting me on the shoulder before he leaves the jet.

+10 Reputation with Logan [20/100] for doing pretty good.

I immediately see Ororo scolding him quietly as he just smirks, Sooraya is by her, her eyes shooting around almost wildly. This place is pretty different from her home, it must be a shock.

"I'm glad to see you back unharmed, Kuro." Professor Xavier starts, wheeling towards me, my eyes are immediately drawn towards the woman following him, her long blonde hair flowing in the wind as she looks me over.

Doing the same, I try to avoid staring at the impressive cleavage her white corset is showing, or her skintight leather white jeans.

Hello Miss Frost.

"Remember what I said kid..." Logan mutters as he walks past, leading Ororo and Sooraya into the school.

...I'm going to go with no. Don't get me wrong, Logan definitely has a point and this isn't going to end well, but this is one situation where I must not do the smart thing and instead do the fun thing.

Hello...

"...I'm pretty glad I got back myself, wasn't expecting to visit a slavers camp this morning." I say watching Emma frown in anger?

"A slavers camp? He took you into a hostile environment... without any training?" she asks, glaring back at the school before she turns her glare onto Xavier.

"...I'll speak with him about unauthorized missions, you shouldn't have been placed in any danger, you certainly shouldn't have gone on a mission on your second day here. Moving on, this is my... acquaintance, Emma Frost. She came her to meet you this morning..." he starts before she interrupts him.

"I can take it from here... professor. It's a pleasure to meet you in person, Mr Tepes. We have much to discuss, but I believe that would be better done... in private." Emma said calmly, taking a moment to smirk at Xavier.

I can already tell that they don't get along, Xavier's hesitance to call her an acquaintance was the first sign. I'm guessing this is a power-move on her part. She can't get into my head and I doubt she's going to resort to violence so I should be fine.

"Sure, did you have somewhere in mind?" I ask making her turn back to me, her smirk lessening to a actual smile.

"Of course, if you'll just follow me... I'll speak with you later, professor." she says dismissively as she turns and walks towards the building, I have to admit... after the whole drugging thing, it's pretty satisfying to see Xavier treated like that.

"Goodbye Professor." I say with a nod as I follow Emma's leather-clad ass... straight to my room?

As she takes a seat on my bed, she looks around with a slight frown before she shakes her head.

"When you said private... this isn't quite what I was expecting." I say as I pull my chair out and place it in front of her, sitting down.

"Indeed... I'm curious, has Xavier even told you why you're so important?" she asks after a moment, making me pause.

"No, he hasn't told me anything." I admit making her roll her eyes.

"Of course not, I didn't think he would. You have to pry any and all secrets from him... I'll keep things simple then. You are the only male fertile mutant in the world, you represent the future of the Mutant Race." she says calmly making my mind race...

Shiro. What did he do?

"Only fertile Male Mutant? Okay... what about the women?" I ask making her lips twitch.

"You catch on quick. They are mostly fertile, however if the father is a normal human, the child is born a normal human. Not a mutant... this is unacceptable obviously." she says with a brief scowl.

"...and how do you know that I'm fertile?" I ask as she frowns in confusion.

"Have you not been tested?" she asks, watching me shake me head.

"Not yet, I'm going for some tests tomorrow but I haven't had any tests since I arrived here." I say, watching her frown in thought before she scoffs.

"You have been tested, how Xavier did it, I don't know... but I would take that up with him." she says after a moment.

"I'll keep that in mind." I say with a frown of my own. I already knew of course, but she doesn't need to know that.

"I know about your tests tomorrow... Xavier is hoping to use the data from them to create a cure... but I believe a more... direct approach is required. I will admit, Reed Richards is a genius, unparalleled if I'm honest, but I won't trust the fate of our race to him." she says with a scowl.

"...Why not? Isn't he supposed to be one of the smartest men alive?" I ask, legitimately confused.

"He is, however he is... eccentric. His work ethic leads much to be desired... It's normal for him to have three dozen projects on at once, jumping between them whimsically. He isn't a mutant, he doesn't have any urgency to work on the cure, I won't trust our fate to someone who is treating it like a minor interest at best." she explained, a look of disgust on her face before she suppressed it.

"Fair enough, so what's your plan then?" I ask making her smirk.

"While a cure would be ideal, they have made no progress on it in years. We must be realistic... first of all, we need to discover if your immunity will pass down to your children." she starts making me mentally sigh.

I can't escape fatherhood can I?

"You realise that I'm sixteen right?" I ask, her smirk not moving.

"I do, I realise this might not be ideal for you, but I can assure you that you won't be required to act like a parent unless you want to. You can have as much or little interaction with your future child as you wish. Every mutant is precious given current circumstances, I'll personally ensure that they are taken care off." she says soothingly.

"Uhuh... and who's the lucky lady who'll be giving birth to the 'Hope of Mutant Kind'? Or are you offering?" I ask before I can help myself, fortunately she simply smirks at me.

"No... not any time soon anyway, I can't afford to spend months vulnerable. This leads me to my next point, I want you to join my school... is what I would be saying if I didn't have an... 'alliance' with Xavier, part of it was not poaching students from each other. Instead, I've arranged for you to spend two days a week, Friday and Saturday at my academy in Massachusetts, if you agree of course." she says calmly.

...Goodbye weekend. This is my in with Hellfire, and that's worth more than a day off.

"So... I'd be here Monday and Tuesday, the Highschool Wednesday and Thursday, then at your school Friday and Saturday? That's... a busy schedule. How would I even get there?" I ask making her wave me off.

"I have a Mutant with Teleportation at my Academy, she'll take care of the travel. My Academy is an all-girls one, you'll be the only exception." she says, reaching into her handbag, also white of course, and pulling out a tablet which she unlocks and fiddles with for a moment.

Moving over, she sits on the arm of my chair, leaning against me as she passes the tablet to me, opening an app.

On the screen is a picture of a red haired girl smiling at the camera, the name Angelica Jones on top of the screen, there's also information about her below, describing her powers and background... which I ignore in favour of looking at the picture, she's completely naked... completely exposed, her large breasts hanging free, a small patch of red hair topping her pussy.

"My girls understand the situation... and their responsibilities." Emma says swiping the screen changing it to a brown haired girl instead, Sofia Mantega, never heard of her. "I believe in teaching... obedience, far more than Xavier does. While not all of the girls are happy about the situation, they all understand and will do their duties." she remarks calmly, swiping again to show a darker skinned girl, her arms crossed beneath her breasts as she stares at the camera in barely concealed annoyance. Then a blonde smirking at the camera sultrily.

"With a few exceptions, most of the Academy would be free game... isn't that a teenager boys dream?" she asks playfully. "If there's a classmate you find attractive, you can simply take them. While you're at the academy, this tablet will be able to send a message summoning the chosen girl to your room, or you can message any of the girls yourself, they've been told to obey you, within reason." she explains... I have to admit, she has one hell of a sales pitch.

"Just like that?" I ask after a moment.

"Just like that, for the good of the Mutant Race, something like this is nothing... tell me, have you ever heard of the Hellfire Club?" she asks as she runs her finger along my chest, her breasts pushing against my arm.

"Vaguely, it's an exclusive club for rich people from what I heard." I say making her smirk.

"Not exactly, though that is what we tell the public... allow me to reintroduce myself, I am Emma Frost, White Queen of the Hellfire Club, one of it's two leaders. In truth, Hellfire is a Mutant run club that has it's fingers deep in every pie, Hollywood, the Music Business, we own parts of almost every business." she explains. "If you join my academy, I can give you access to Hellfire's vast resources and connections, I can't just let you join outright, not before you prove yourself... even I have rules I have to follow, and the Black Queen would intervene if I tried... but you can still benefit from them."

"What's the catch? I know when something seems too good to be true, it usually is." I say making her smile.

"The catch is I want you to... spread your seed as much as possible, the more mutants that are born, the better our situation is. If most of those are born into my Academy? All the better." she says easily.

She's being honest, Master.

Her, Xavier and Magneto are all determined to save the mutant race, but they can't agree on the methods.

"Where they could be... taught obedience? Having a horde of mutant kids your can indoctrinate would be useful for a Queen, wouldn't it?" I ask watching her pause before she smirks.

"And yet, you don't sound bothered." she replies.

"Magneto indoctrinates his people, and Xavier does the same. At least your being honest about it." I say making her laugh, a musical sound that's honestly pleasing to listen to.

+10 Affection with Emma Frost [30/100] for not falling for Xavier's doctrine.

"Exactly, and yes... being able to increase my numbers in the long term would be incredibly useful to me." she admits easily.

"Then you have a deal, Miss Frost. I'm looking forwards to 'studying' at your Academy." I say making her smirk again as she gets off the chair arm, holding out a hand. Shaking on is she smirks victoriously.

"And I'm looking forwards to having you at my Academy." she replied, before she sent a message, a pink portal opening and a equally pink woman in a green dress stepping through it. "This is Blink, or Clarice, whichever you prefer. Her number is in the tablet, if you require transport or assistance, do feel free to call her. If I don't have her on a mission, she will come, won't you Clarice?" Emma asked.

"Yes, Mistress Frost." she replied immediately, no hesitation in her voice as she stares at me with glowing yellow eyes. "I will make myself available for whatever Lord Kuro requires."

"I like her already." I deadpan, making Emma giggle. I get the feeling Emma's been fucking with her own people's minds, or at least Blink's. But then, if I had someone who could teleport me around I'd want them to stay loyal as well.

"She does mean whatever..." Emma says moving behind her and pulling the straps of the dress down past her breasts, exposing her impressively sized breasts each topped with a purple nipple... "Though do try not to knock her up, it'd be a shame to lose her services for even a couple of months."

"I'll keep that in mind. I take it you'll be in touch?" I ask making her smile.

"I will be, come on Clarice, time to go home." she ordered, the pink woman not even bothering to cover up her exposed breasts as she opened up another portal. "Goodbye, Kuro... I will see you on Friday, I'll take care of everything, you just need to be ready for Friday morning."

"Will do, see you Friday. Goodbye Miss Frost." I say happily as she leaves, walking through the portal.

I trust Isis, and Isis says she's telling the truth. Which means this could all work out wonderfully, Hellfire here I come. Of the mutant groups they're definitely my favourite, less morals than Xavier, but less fanatical than Magneto.

"Truly, today has been a busy day for you hasn't it?" a voice asks calmly making me jump up, staring at the corner of the room the voice came from in shock.

Sitting on a cosy looking chair that wasn't there a moment ago, a familiar woman sitting on it sipping her tea.

"...I did tell you I was coming." the Ancient One says serenely, making me sigh.

"You did. I just wasn't expecting you to pop up out of nowhere... so, what can I do for you?" I ask mostly calm, again I don't think she's just going to kill me, why would she bother with the niceties if she was?

"Hmm... do you know how much you have changed this worlds fate?" she asks sipping her tea.

"No, I don't think I have done anything big yet." I reply making her nod.

"Not yet, no. And yet the little butterflies are beating their wings, each one making a hurricane. From the moment you arrived, things changed. My own fate included." she explains, ugh butterfly effect. Ain't it a bitch.

"You're welcome? I think."

"Not exactly.. you know what this is don't you?" she asks gesturing to the Eye of Agamotto hanging from her neck, an infinity stone in the same room as me... as I nod she smiles. "When I felt the ripples I looked into the future with it again, before my ending was set in stone, I would be betrayed and it would result in my death... it was a fixed point, and now it is fluid, I saw countless different ends... but I can't see your future. You are shrouded, even to the Time Stone, I can see you in my future, but I cannot look into yours." she explains calmly.

"Isn't that good? If you can avoid your death, I did you a favour... even if I didn't mean to."

"You would think so, but in most of the paths I saw I still died, however it was at your hands, not Kaecilius's. You... are a being with the capacity for Great Evil." she continues making me freeze. Suddenly I'm less confident about this meeting.

"Oh, you have no reason to be afraid. I thought about killing you of course, but do you know what I saw on that path?" she asks, knowing I don't have an answer. "Destruction. Half the Universe wiped out... never to return, the... Avengers failing in their quest, Thanos achieving his goal. In every path where you die, Earth is destroyed. Sometimes it's Galactus, sometimes Dormammu, sometimes Ego or Thanos. But it is always destroyed."

"...I have no intention of fighting any of those." I say stubbornly making her lips twitch.

"I know, and in most cases you don't fight them. You simply play a crucial support role, helping another achieve victory. So then I though, what if I hindered you? Sealed your powers, stopped your growth. Would that not stop your evil from spreading? ...it did not. In every path, you break through the seals, rapidly growing in strength before you seek your revenge. The Sacking of Kamar-Taj, the slaughter of the Masters of the Mystic Arts... and your vengeance upon me. It is ruthless and relentless, and it always succeeds in breaking me... eventually. You are a very patient man, Kuro Tepes, in some paths it takes you centuries to break me, but you always succeed." she says with the same tone you'd use to describe the weather.

"So... what happens now?" I ask calmly making her lips twitch.

"You are a being of evil. But, you are a necessary evil. The pain and corruption you will cause are nothing in comparison to the suffering and agony that would follow after your death. Simply put? I'm not going to do anything. I won't attack or hinder you, but neither will I assist you. Consider this a non-aggression pact." she said calmly standing up as her chair vanished.

"That... works for me." I say rising myself with a calm smile. Not being attacked by the Masters of the Mystic Arts works for me.

"Wonderful. I'm glad we could agree." she says calmly. "You're going to have company soon enough, so I will show myself out." she says using her sling ring to open a portal, as she walks through it without a goodbye I catch a glimpse of Kamar-Taj before it closes with little flare.

Huh... that went, about as well as I could expect?

Since I'm apparently getting more company I get changed out of the X-Men uniform and get comfy in my sleepwear, that is to say my boxers and nothing else, grabbing my new tablet and looking through it.

There's a single message from Emma, advising me to fully explore the features on it, and promising to take care of everything I need to start at her school.

So... today's been weird. First off, Dust. Nothing special, she's got a problem with me since I accidentally made her reappear naked, but that wasn't my fault.

Then, I got my new Superpower. I didn't want to focus on it earlier since I was being looked at by Xavier and Emma. Every one of my Physical Stats was below 50, so that was just straight up free points. I even feel stronger and faster, and more HP and SP is wonderful. But the real benefit is the knowledge that I can get superpowers as quest rewards...

You can, master.

I apologise for my quietness, but I have been altering some data left behind by Shiro. I don't want to get your hopes up but it should allow us both to grow faster... if I can work out how to activate it.

...He left puzzles I need to solve first.

It's fine... and I can't say I'm surprised that Shiro has left things behind. Seems like the kinda thing he'd find funny.

He seems to have taken it as a challenge to slip as much data into the system as he could without the Game noticing.

...Seriously how have they not killed each other yet?

Moving on... arrangements with Emma Frost, and by default Hellfire. That right there is my in. Hellfire are powerful and influential, far more so than Xavier, and there's none of the morality problems with them. I'm 95% sure Emma has utterly mind-fucked Blink, either that or Blink is just really submissive.

I don't have to worry about that, but obviously I should keep my guard up all the same. Emma is a great potential ally but also a dangerous potential enemy. And that's not even mentioning 'the Black Queen', who I'm guessing is Selene? She's more of an unknown and that makes her more of a threat. U need to know what she wants and how I can stay on her good side.

And finally... the Ancient One. Capacity for great evil? Vengeful? Yeah, that sounds about right... what doesn't is that I'm apparently a key figure in the protection of this world.

She said I didn't fight them myself, and perfect... so how did I help? Training? Potions? Enchantments? I can't even begin to guess. It's bad news but it's not the worst news.

Honestly? I'd rather not know the future. If you know what will happen, then it won't happen. It's better to work on solid intel than it is to rely on prophecies and visions.

Browsing through the menus on the tablet I have to admit I'm impressed. One of the apps lets me order tickets up upcoming events or just arrange my own private events.

When she said hellfire was in the Movie and Music business she wasn't kidding. She's left notes on most of the apps, and it looks like Hellfire has it's claws in deep in the entertainment industry. I can for arrange a private showing of movies not even out yet, with the actress being my 'date', or a private performance from musicians.

Pretty much every actress and musician I can think off has a page on the app, and too dispel any doubts there's even a part of each page with restrictions. For instance, some actresses can't be impregnated since they've got important movies coming up, but anything else is free game.

Child Actresses are the same, but that's to stop rumours. Basically don't do anything that people will be able to see the next day, and you're good.

Some have notes saying their unavailable due to tours/filming, but a note from Emma claims that I can have Blink take me to them, or bring them to me.

And like the students, there's pictures for everyone.

Hellfire is fucked up... my kinda place. If they're controlling this much? I want in. I want to be on the winning side, the side pulling the strings. Screw playing heroes and villains, I want to be the guy sitting on the sidelines setting the two sides against each other.

Browsing through the Students again, I pause when I find a interesting one. The almost punkish looking girl rolling her eyes at the camera. She's fairly attractive, but the interesting part is the name. Cordelia Frost, Emma has even put a note that's she's her little sister.

Even serving up her baby sister for the 'Good of Mutant-Kind'? I'd say that's cold, but with an ice queen like Emma Frost, I can't say I'm surprised.

Setting a password, I put away my Tablet. I highly doubt it's as insecure as it looks, but better not take chances. Emma didn't put a password on it, but there is no way Hellfire's Queen would be so irresponsible.

You aren't wrong, it has security to stop anyone but you from using it.

Figured as much. After a few moments, the company the Ancient One mentioned arrives, announced by a hesitant knock on the door.

Opening it, I smile at Rouge as she brightens up, Kitty standing behind her. Kitty is in a normal pair of white pyjamas, but Rogue is wearing a dressing gown, covering her fully.

"Come on then." I say taking her hand and pulling her in, The small shudder she gives when I hold her hand is pretty funny. Kitty follows behind and locks the door again.

"So... I have some tests tomorrow morning, so I can't stay up that late... but I have an idea." I say as I sit on the bed, as I go to pull her into my lap she stops me, biting her lip in hesitation before she pulls her dressing gown off and lets it fall to the floor. "...I might be pulling a late night after all. Damn..." I say looking over her as she blushes, the light green sheer nightie doing nothing to hide her breasts. Her only bit of concealing clothing being a sexy green thong.

"So... what was your idea?" she asks with a small smile, her face bright red.

"You like touching right? So why don't you just spend the night?" I ask making her blanch slightly. "Not sex, just cuddling." I correct before she can speak up, her blush slowly growing again.

"...I'd like that." she admits as she moves into my lap, kissing me. Hello easy nullification training.

"...So did you two just forget me?" Kitty asks getting our attention. "Do you two really think that's... smart? You two get carried away easily."

"Then you'll just have to spend the night as well, won't you?" Rogue says before I can even start to reply. "While I'm around Kuro my powers don't work, so there won't be any problems if we touch, right?" she asks.

"Only one way to check." I say with a shrug. After a moment of hesitation Kitty moves closer, placing a hand on Rogue's cheek with a flinch before she calms down,. Some testing shows that if I'm in the middle of the bed, it's enough to nullify Rogue no matter where she is in the bed, so it should be find if they move around overnight.

"So, Kitty cat, you staying over?" I ask her making her hesitate.

"Ugh, fine... but only if you're both going to bed straight away. I don't want to be laying next to you two while you go at it again." she mutters, getting under the quilt, after a moment of fiddling she pulls her bra out from under her top and tosses it away. "Don't get the wrong idea, it's uncomfortable to sleep in... turn away, I want to lose my panties as well." she says with a blush.

"She normally sleeps in just her panties." Rogue whispers making Kitty whine slightly, mumbling something about girl secrets.

Looking away I here muffled movement behind me before Kitty embarrassedly lets me turn back, just in time to see a pair of cute pink panties with a daisy on the front land next to her bra.

She's hiding under the quilt completely, but I'm guessing that she's worried about her nipples showing through. Rogue doesn't share her worry as she pulls her nightie off and tosses it away, us both moving under the cover as she spoons against me, her ass pressing into my crotch. Putting an arm around her, I smirk as I feel Kitty move up and spoon against my back, her arm around both me and Rogue, her breasts squashing against my back,

Hell of a way to sleep.

– Bonus Scene – Spinneret – Earth-18119 –

Glaring at her smirking captor she cursed internally, watching him calmly approach her with a victorious look in his eyes. She could see her daughter bound and gagged as she stared at him with a scared look on her face, her confidence damaged by how badly they had both been beaten by the overpowered sociopath. The high-tech shackles chaining her to the cell wall keeping her from trying to smack the smug look off his face.

Once upon a time she thought he was a good friend, both to her and her husband, Peter even wanted to make him Annie's godfather before she convinced him to change his mind.

"You won't get away with this. Eventually someone is going to stop you." she spat out, making him laugh.

"Oh? Who is that someone? Someone like Peter? And where is the Amazing Spider-Man? Where was he when I beat you two into the ground? Really MJ, there should be a limit to your delusions?" he mocked, gripping her chin.

He was getting their last resort, not that she'd tell him that. He'd gone to find what Reed Richards had been trying to make before he'd been killed by this bastard.

The Black Emperor of Hellfire, and likely the new Ruler of Earth, Kuro Tepes. The man with every power.

It was hard to compare the lazy teenager she and Peter went to high-school with to the merciless tyrant before her. Still, she could point out the exact day he started to change... the day Emma Frost, the Former White Queen and the Current White Empress, arrived at their school and invited the newly discovered Mutant Kuro to join her. When he returned he had... changed.

The Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and every other superpowered groups had met their end at his hands, as had almost every villain. Kuro was relentless in eliminating threats to Hellfire's Rule. They'd managed to survive this long by hiding away, but clearly their last gasp effort at escaping had drawn his attention.

"He'll come for you." she said hating how hollow the words sounded, even to her own ears. She was sure Peter would come for them, but Kuro's power was... terrifying. Everyone he killed, he brought back as slaves, and his power grew for every undead he had... there were thousands at least, and that was just counting the important ones, the petty criminals and thugs he'd turned into slaves were immeasurable.

"No, he'll come for you. So, what was he trying to find? He wouldn't have left his wife and daughter if you didn't have a plan." Kuro asked with a glare.

"Go to hell..." she bit out, watching as he sighed.

- Lemon Starts (Rape) -

"A shame..." he said with a shrug, not even trying to sound convincing as a cruel grin grew on his face, she knew nothing she said would have changed things anyway, she knew what happened to super-heroines or villanesses captured by Kuro. As he pulled out a jagged dagger, slowly running it along her white and red spandex uniform, her eyes flickered to Annie seeing her daughters eyes widen in shock as Kuro cut the front of her suit open, exposing her breasts to the air.

Seeing Kuro's eyes running over her body she tried to mouth soothing words to her daughter, this would be hard for Annie, before Kuro revealed his true self she had looked up to him, and she never really got over the fact that her kinda-uncle was a villain, that he was evil. She gasped in shock and discomfort as she felt him cut a hole in the crotch of the spandex, exposing her pussy to the cold air.

"Y-you'll pay for this..." she growled out as Kuro groped her breasts roughly, one hand stroking her dry slit.

"Uhuh... that's what She-Hulk said, and the Phoenix, and Captain Marvel... Jennifer's my bodyguard now, Jean is my secretary and Carol is chained to my bedroom wall. And they were all stronger than you, 'Spinneret'." he mocked, undoing his belt.

She knew he was telling the truth... Emma Frost had no trouble destroying the minds of Kuro's victims, and rebuilding them to suit their needs... once Kuro was done with her, she'd have her mind erased and reprogrammed.

As he captured her lips, she bit down just a second to slow, missing his tongue making him laugh as he pulled back.

"Feisty... try that again and I'll see if little Annie is feeling more welcoming." he said casually making her eyes widen. As she went to respond he kissed her again, as she felt his tongue invade her mouth she resisted the urge to bite down, not wanting to doom her daughter to the consequences of her actions.

Over his shoulder she caught some movement in the corner of her eye, a familiar red and blue suit moving along the roof just outside the cell... she knew he would come. Peter never was one to give up.

These cells were some of the most advanced around... that's what happens when Tony Stark and Reed Richards were murdered then resurrected as slaves to work in the labs forever... but Peter had gotten through them before.

As Peter landed silently he moved to the cell door, trying to hack into it...

Looking at Annie, she tried to warn her to stay silent with her eyes, getting a tearful nod in return.

Kuro would kill them both before Peter could get through the door if he was alerted, the tech here was very advanced... it would take even someone as smart as Peter minutes to get through... at least.

She could see the worry and anger on Peter's face, even through the mask... and as she felt the head of Kuro's erect shaft press against her slit she had to admit, this was going to be hard for all of them.

Annie was going to be forced to watch the psudeo-uncle she used to look up to forced himself on her mother, Peter was going to have to try and stay calm and quiet while his wife was raped a few feet away, and she would have to keep calm as her former friend had his way with her in front of her daughter and husband.. if she fought back he'd simply move over to Annie, and if he did that he'd spot Peter.

Not wanting to give him the satisfaction, she bit her lip and stayed quiet as she felt her lower lips be split apart, the large shaft forcing it's way into her.

He was bigger than Peter, not that she'd ever admit it out loud... but as he thrust into her, bottoming out inside her she had to admit it in her head. Despite her best efforts a whimper escaped her lips as he started to move, feeling his shaft split her in two, her hands gripped the chains tightly as she glared at him.

"Should have done this years ago... always did regret letting you escape." he grunted as he pounded her against the cell wall, whimpers and moans escaping her as her body reacted to the penetration. "But then you went and had a kid... a beautiful daughter, I always did like a two for one special." he laughed making her eyes widen. "Oh don't look so surprised, I'm not going to lose out on a mother daughter pair, am I?" he mocked.

"J-just leave Annie alone... you can do whatever you want to me." she said, looking away as she felt her tears start to fall... Peter would save them soon, if he could catch Kuro of guard without his undead they stood a chance after all.

"But MJ... I can already do whatever I want to you. Wanda, be a dear and grab the idiot would you?" he said mockingly, all three of their Spider-Senses going off too late to stop Peter from being gripped by a strange red magic, Scarlet Witch and Invisible Woman appearing behind him with dull and empty eyes. "Nullification's a bitch, isn't it? You three are so reliant on that spidey-sense of yours.."

As they opened the cell, she levitated Peter in, Kuro not even stopping fucking her as he smirked at Peter, Wanda ripping his mask off, revealing his glaring face.

"Really Peter? You really thought you could just sneak into my base? My place of power, this is where I'm the strongest... and you thought you could just walk in?" he asked mockingly, pressing something on his belt making her shackles come undone, before she could react she was forced to the ground on her hands and knees, Peter kneeling just a few feet in front of her as Kuro re-entered her, gripping her hair and forcing her to look at her husband as he ploughed into her, as she went to speak, a orb of red energy filled her mouth, Scarlet Witch gagging her.

"Stop this, Kuro... you're better than this, you were better than this." he said quickly, making Kuro laugh.

"Nah, I was always an asshole, you just always looked at the positives... always so optimistic." he said with a laugh as he spanked her on the ass, making her yelp. "Wanda be a dear and gag him for me."

As Peter joined her in being gagged, she looked at Wanda with a frown, seeing the completely empty look in her eyes. Was that going to be her soon? Just one of Kuro's mindless slaves...

Making eye contact with Peter, she tried apologizing with her eyes, before she paused, seeing him glance down at himself... Following his gaze her eyes widened at the addition to his belt...

Reed Richards was trying to make a device to travel to another version of Earth, after most of the good guys had already fallen, then been resurrected as slaves. He was hoping to recruit another version of the Avengers to... well, avenge themselves.

They had gotten a message that he finished it, but Kuro found and killed him before anything could come of it, and no-one knew where Reed had hidden it. Reed had wiped his own mind as a last resort before his death, stopping Kuro from getting any answers even after he was resurrected.

That's what Peter was looking for, a way to escape from Kuro completely, it took her years to convince Peter to even try and leave this earth, to abandon his 'responsibilities'.

Kuro was too busy focusing on her to care that Peter was messing with his belt, he always was too overconfident. It could apparently take four people, Reed liked that number, but they'd have to be touching whoever had the device as it was activated... She could reach forwards, but Annie was bound to the wall.

They needed to reach her... which meant buying time. Looking Peter in the eye, she knew they were on the same wavelength, the apology in his eyes told her that. She would have to endure until Annie was close enough to grab.

They couldn't fight... Kuro was powerful, but Kuro, Scarlet Witch and the Invisible Woman while they were both bound by Wanda's magic was an impossible fight.

As she felt him bottom out inside her, letting out a primal grunt she shuddered. She could feel his seed filling her... he didn't even have the decency to pull out.

After a moment he moved back, forcing her upright, still resting on her knees. Moving in front of her he pressed the cum-soaked dick against her lips with a smirk, the gag vanishing.

"Clean it, or Annie can." he ordered... as wrong as it sounded, letting Annie be taken would probably get her close enough for them to escape, but that would attract to much suspicion.

Opening her mouth she let him slid into her mouth, obediently using her tongue to clean the shaft of the mixture of his and her juices.

She just needed to bide her time... and endure.

- Later -

Shuddering in both pain, and reluctant pleasure she came in unison with Kuro as he filled her bowels with his cum... as he pulled out she collapsed onto he front... that was his sixth load. She could feel his cum drying on her breasts and face, the other three loads filling her womb... she wouldn't be surprised if she had been impregnated, as horrifying as that thought was.

Watching him finally move away from her, walking towards her daughter her eyes widened. Was it finally time to escape? She hoped so, she wasn't sure how much more she could take.

Watching him unshackle Annie, dragging her closer to them she felt her hope soar... they just needed to be touching each other and Peter could get them out of here... only, they needed Kuro to not be touching any of them or he'd join them.

Glancing Peter she immediately felt her heart drop at the look in his eyes... it was the look he got when he was going to do something crazy... but as she looked back at Kuro groping her daughters teenage breasts roughly she couldn't say she was surprised. Peter had a limit... not that she was any better.

After a moment, he made his move. Using his strength to break through the Scarlet Witches magic he charged Kuro, knocking him away from Annie as he tossed Annie back at her, turning he tried to move back to them before he froze in place, clutching at his chest with wide eyes.

Looking back at Kuro she let out a horror filled scream at the sight of a human heart resting in his extended hand, watching him crush it, Peter falling to her knees as he did.

As Peter collapsed, he used the last of his strength to unclip the device, pressing something on it and tossing it at her, as she regained the strength to move she grabbed it, immediately feeling a pulling sensation as she and Annie were pulled away, the last thing she saw was Kuro's face contorted in anger.

Feeling herself hit the ground, she rose up on shaky legs looking at the smoking device in her hand, sparks leaving it occasionally.

She had no idea where she was but the important part was that Annie was with her... feeling herself start to sob she tried to keep it in... Peter was gone... but that meant it was her job to protect their daughter, she'd have time to grieve later.

They were in a world unknown to them... they could mourn when they were safer. First, they needed to find some clothes and shelter... then they needed to find out if there was a Kuro in this world as well.
