Chapter 11

As Jax and Azazel flitted around the city, though he got hit by a few blasts at first, Jax realized that Azazel was getting angrier and angrier, making his shots that much more sloppy. So when Jax no longer had any real worry about being hit by Azazel's date raping magic, he got a great idea.

'This seems to be a huge battle that the X-Men aren't doing too well in. Since these guys work with Dad and keep him safe, let's see if we can help them out a bit!' Jax thought to himself with a devilish grin.

Getting a bad feeling, Azazel tried even harder to shoot down the annoying Jax, but only got more frustrated as his shots kept missing.

"Stay still you little fuck!" Azazel shouted, as he rapid fired a spread of bolts at the recently teleported Jax, only to have his face frozen the next second.

Before the bolts landed, Jax did a series of teleports where the shots hit a few of Azazel's teammates instead, namely, Colossus, Emma Frost, and Sabertooth, though Sabertooth merely shook off the effects, and looked up at Jax and Azazel with a gutteral growl.

"You fucking pricks! Watch your fucking shots, you damn fairy!" Victor Creed yelled before he leapt like a rocket in that air at the two.

Watching Victor jump up in the air at him when he can teleport, Jax had to fight hard not to burst out laughing.

"You truly are the dumb brother, aren't you?" Jax joked before he easily teleported out of Victor's flight path.

Hearing what Jax said, Victor was about to go into a blind rage until he heard Azazel call out to him in a panic, "Victor, watch out!"

Feeling his danger senses go crazy, Victor tried to twist his body in mid air, but it proved to be useless when out of his very shadow, dark spikes impaled his body, causing him to spit out blood before he fell from the sky in a bloody, shredded mess.

"Victor, no!" shouted some of the Hellfire members when they saw Victor smack the ground hard, his blood pooling beneath him.

Surprised that Jax was actually strong enough to nearly kill Sabertooth and who just a second ago was a coward who was good at running away, Azazel suddenly felt like he had walked into a pit of hungry wolves covered in meat, and when he looked back at Jax and saw his menacing eyes glowing purple, he felt that if he didn't get everyone away now, they might truly die that day.

"Bring that ass here, boy!" was all Azazel heard before he felt a shooting pain on his side and teleported away instinctively. When he reappeared, Azazel looked down to see he had five bloody slashes in his stomach that still had wisps of darkness coming from them.

No longer wishing to test his luck, Azazel prioritized their more important members, those like Sebastian Shaw, Sabertooth, Colossus, and Emma Frost, and got out of there, leaving the rest of the Hellfire members to fend for themselves.

By this time, the battle was pretty much over, but there were still a few battles happening here and there. Seeing that things have calmed down, Jax teleported by Logan to see him pulling himself from a cement wall, covered in blood.

"How did you still get your ass kicked after I nearly cut his right arm off and everything?" Jax asked, as he helped Logan out of the wall.

"He can fucking heal you, Jackass! And don't you dare get cocky just because you got a cheap shot in on him. That bastard was harder to deal with face to face." Logan said, defending himself as he dusted off his uniform.

"Logan, who is this? Do you need help handling him?" said a young voice, and Jax turned to see that it was nobody else but the annoying tool, Cyclops, or Scott Summers to his friends. Sure the guy mellowed out somewhat when he got older, but he's a cocky prick when he's younger.

"Oh? You think you can take me on, Laser Boy?" Jax growled as he faced Cyclops with his claws out and ready. Jax had just risked his life to help them, so how dare this asshole try to challenge him!

Right when Jax was about to attack first, he felt a smack on the back of his head. "Will you two calm the hell down? There will be no fighting between you too, do you hear me?!" Logan yelled, using his dad voice.

Jax wanted to argue why he was the only one to get smacked, but didn't want to cause anymore drama. He knew that he shouldn't have let Scott get to him, but for some reason, the guy just rubbed Jax in all of the wrong places.

"What's happening over here?" asked an old wizened voice, and the three turned to see most of the X-Men coming over to them.

'Great, it's the mind rapist. Better have my mental shields on max until I leave. Maybe I should get an anti-telepath helmet like Magneto.' Jax thought as he tensed up with Professor X staring at him.

"He's my... he's my son, so don't go reading his mind unnecessarily!" Logan said after a moment of hesitation. This was the first time that he's said that he had a son out loud.

When the others heard that, they were extremely shocked, including Charles Xavier.

"Son?! Since when did you have a kid?! And he's so strong! Is he coming home with us? Is he?!" asked a bubbly, cute brown haired girl that Jax assumed to be Kitty Pryde.

'Damn she's sexy, if I wasn't already with MJ, I'd definitely try to pet this little kitty.' Jax thought to himself as Kitty clung to his side as if they had been best friends for years.

"No, he has school in the morning. By the way, it's late. Why aren't you at home with your mom sleeping?" Logan asked, crossing his arms.

"Geez, you old people, I swear. Didn't you read our texts? My girlfriend was being abused by her dad, so mom adopted her and moved her in our new place. We were out having dinner to celebrate her joining the family and the opening of my new headquarters in East Harlem when you guys rolled through and blew up Times Square. C'mon, Pop's, I know you're busy, but you have to check your messages every now and then!" Jax said, exasperated at how clueless his father was.

"Girlfriend, adopted, moved, wait, is that giant fortress that popped up in East Harlem, yours?! What the hell is going on young man, and don't you dare lie, or I'll have Charles here tell me what I need to know!" Logan said, his instincts telling him there is far more that he's not being told.

"What the hell, old man?! Don't get mad at me just because you didn't read your texts! Plus, how can you threaten to let this old guy mind rape me?! What about my rights?" Jax retorted, suddenly fearful of Charles invading his mind.

"Mind rape? Is that what kids call what telepathy these days, Jean?" Charles self-consciously asked the gorgeous bombshell of a redhead next to him, but Jax was too distracted to fully admire her beauty.

"Anything without consent is a kind of rape, Professor Xavier." Jean said with her face in her palm, exasperated that she had to be the one to explain that to him.

"Whatever! Tell me the truth, young man-" Logan said, but he was interrupted by ungodly bright lights shining on them and the sirens surrounding them.

"This is SHIELD, you are all to stand down and await questioning. Any other action will be taken as hostile intent!" yelled an aggressive voice over the megaphone.

"Welp, I'm out. I can't get arrested since I have school tomorrow. Peace!" Jax said as he teleported away using their collective shadows as his source of darkness.

"That damn brat!" Logan yelled into the air while SHIELD surrounded them.

Choosing not to teleport straight home in case SHIELD had some convoluted way of tracking him, Jax jumped a few more times before he teleported back into his new home, but suddenly felt like he was in even more danger than he was in battling against the Hellfire Club.

"Jaxon D. Wolfe, where they hell have you been?! Where the hell did you get this torn up uniform? And tell me everything you've been up to lately, or I swear I'll search your mind so deep, I'll know everything you did ever since I popped you out! You broke into and stole from Oscorp?! And this business with this new job and all this money, I want the truth, now!" Jada yelled, making Jax freeze in place out of fear. Suddenly having Charles read his mind wasn't so bad in comparison.

'I can't let her see how much weird porn I watch! Fuck! I'm definitely building an anti-telepath helmet after this!' Jax thought as he let out a heavy sigh, but then came up with a perfect, but highly dangerous idea to minimize some of the damage.

Turning around and taking off his helmet, Jax tried to prepare mentally as much as he could.

"Okay, mama, wait before you do anything drastic. I don't want you to see certain... embarrassing memories, and I'm sure you don't want to see them either. I'll show you in my mind everything that you want to know, then it'll make sense why I couldn't tell you before. But first, how'd you know I broke into Oscorp?" Jax asked, as he was positive that none of the cameras and personnel saw him.

"Your dumbass let MJ see you use the shadows to teleport into the forbidden area. She's known you were a mutant this whole time, and still loves and accepts you. Now, no more stalling!" Jada commanded.

Jax was completely stunned. He was extremely careful and had no idea that anyone had saw him, especially MJ of all people. And yet, she didn't treat him any differently like he feared, and still loved him dearly. Jax was beyond relieved as he didn't know how much longer he could keep the secret from MJ any longer.

"Wait, I want MJ to see too. See knows and she's part of our family now. She deserves the truth too." Jax said resolutely.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Jada massaged her temples. "MJ, you can come on out now. I'll transmit the memories to you too so that you can see them too." Jada said, waving MJ over who was shyly hiding behind a wall.

With both of them there, Jax took a deep breath and hoped that his plan worked, as he started transmitting his memories. Jax showed his first day of school getting bullied, the day the bullies went too far and abused him, at this, Jada and MJ began bawling as they saw everything from Jax's perspective. Jax hated making them see that, but they needed to know so that they understand his reasoning for things later on.

He showed them when he first woke up to his new powers, when he heard the call of the Holocron, the whole scene of him breaking in, and even when he met MJ. He showed opening the Starter Pack, and it's contents. When he showed how much smarter he got after taking the genius pill, they were stunned, but that surprise soon turned into fear when he showed them Deathstroke appearing from the Holocron.

He showed them all of the major and even some minor events that happened to him and didn't hide anything, including him just know fighting against the Hellfire Club, but left out the part with him staring at Jean Grey and Kitty Pryde's huge tits. He was positive they'd see the fight on the news, but it would only hurt MJ to know that he was ogling at other girls behind her back.

When that was done, he cut the connection and took a deep breath, waiting for them both to process things. After a few seconds, Jax was surprised to see both Jada and MJ hugging him, bawling.

"I knew that those thugs beat you, but you never said that they.. Jax, I'm so sorry for making you relive that! You have been carrying around that pain for so long, all alone, and still only worry about taking care of your loved ones! I love you, baby, I'm so sorry!" Jada said, an absolute mess.

Jada felt like a horrible mother, because while she was distracted with work, she didn't even notice her own son dealing with such trauma while still worrying about her well being and acting like nothing happened. If she knew before, she might've leveled half of the city looking for the thugs who raped and beat her son.

"Jax, I'm so sorry! You are such a good person! I don't know what I can do, but I promise I'll get stronger to protect you, I promise!" MJ swore as she buried her face into Jax's side, making a personal resolution to try harder for the man she loved.

Jax was stunned, as he thought that they'd be shocked be everything else, like the magical gift box or the possessed metal block in his room. But when Jax thought back on him being abused, he'd be lying if he didn't try to forget that event as much as possible, unconsciously making it a repressed memory.

Every time he sees those three in school, Jax had to fight the urge to not kill them in the worst ways or pay them back for what they did to him, but to him, the world needed Luke Cage and Human torch, and wasn't sure what to do.

After crying for what felt like hours, the three of them cried themselves to sleep on their new massive couch. In the morning, Jada woke up early and got to work making breakfast. Sure there were still some things she didn't like and wanted to discuss further, like illegally buying a business and sneaking out at night when she was sleeping, but she felt as though her son had been punished enough and deserved whatever happiness he could gleam from the money he got from the gift box. It wasn't like Oscorp would be missing the money anyway.

The next person to wake up and join her in the kitchen was surprisingly her new adopted daughter, MJ. "Is there anything I can help you with?" MJ asked in a soft voice.

"Huh? Oh, you're fine sweetie, I got this. Thank you though! This is why I wanted a daughter. Do you think that boy has ever asked to help? No!" Jada joked, making MJ smile.

MJ was so happy that she could cry. She couldn't remember a day where she could wake up and live peacefully before she moved in with Jax and Jada. Her newfound peace was all thanks to Jax, and she wanted to change and be better for him.

"Ms. Jada?" MJ asked meekly, not entirely sure how to address her anymore.

"MJ, I'm technically your mama now, just call me mom or mama if you'd like. We're family now." Jada said as she placed a bowl of delicious food in front of MJ that made her mouth water just from the smell of it.

"Oh, okay. M-mom," MJ said, a small smile on her lips. "I want to be stronger, so I can protect Jax and you if anything happens in the future! May you please train me?" MJ asked, not even aware that this one monumental question will change her life forever.
