Phoenix Saga Part 3

"That guy really is a pervert" Darcy complained.

She had seen how that guy was teasing Wanda and ran away.

"Don't pay too much attention to him, he's like that after all" Emma said with a smile as she stretched her slender figure.

Wanda is annoyed, that guy will suffer her wrath later.

Helen Cho, who is accompanying them, is curious about Alex's relationship with most of the women here.

Maya realizes that she is lost in her thoughts and asks Helen:

"What's wrong, Helen?"

Emma, Wanda, Darcy and Jane look at Helen curiously.

Helen feels a little embarrassed by their looks, but she still asks something that has always been on her mind.

"The relationship between you is really very good, how do you do it?"

After all, she has seen and heard about polygamous relationships that ended badly.

Darcy, Jane, and Maya look at Wanda and Emma.

"I don't know about other people, but I didn't complicate my life. I fell in love with that idiot for his way of being and for how he dares to do what he thinks is right. And my sister thinks the same as me in that aspect" Wanda said with a shrug.

"In my case I was curious, he is a human who for some strange reason helped Mutants without ulterior motives. His confidence and determination to achieve what he wanted was what captivated me" Emma replied with a smile as she watched Alex play with the twins.

Listening to her words, the women are moved.

"But that wasn't what she asked" Darcy complained.

"Darcy... be more subtle" Jane Foster admonished.

Wanda and Emma are silent for a few seconds before Wanda responds by saying:

"That's simple, the affection and love we have for him made us have a good understanding between us to avoid losing him in the end"

"And so far, it has worked"

The women fall silent, but for some strange reason this silence doesn't feel awkward.

Alex Wayne POV

As I was distracted by the little brats, I noticed that Est was looking up at the sky.

Approaching her and gently stroking her head, I ask her:

"Is something wrong, Est?"

The girl relaxes before my caress and with a calm voice, she answers:

"A being with the same level of power as mine is approaching our planet and a second ago it disappeared... but I feel a bit of its energy in a Mutant"

Hearing her words, I raise my eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"I don't know... I feel like that being came looking for a host and has already found one" a confused Est answered.

Est had already gotten used to living like a human being under the tutelage of Wanda, Emma and Irene, who had a bit of experience in taking care of children.

And that's why her way of understanding the world was much better and now, she is a girl full of curiosity.

If what she said is true, then that must be the Phoenix.

And at that moment, another sun appeared in the sky that had the appearance of a bird, but it disappeared seconds later.

I became serious seeing that since that thing released a lot of pressure.

The women had stopped playing volleyball and also looked at that unnatural phenomenon.

At some point, Wanda had gotten in front of the kids and removed that pressure.

I can tell that she is very angry with the culprit of this pressure.

The only thing that gets her that way is when her children are messed with, and you should pray you're not the target of her fury.

"W-what was that?" a surprised Darcy asked.

"I don't know, but I think the break is over and we need to strengthen our defenses" Emma said seriously.

Although a little reluctant, they must be alert for this phenomenon.

"You're right. Riri, go back and use the satellites to verify that phenomenon in detail" I said to Riri, who nodded.

"We too should go back to the lab to help where necessary" Maya said as she followed her daughter back to the lab accompanied by Darcy, Helen and Jane Foster.

The others are also preparing to return.

Thinking about it for a second, I take out my cell phone and say:

"Alexa, check the airspace and tell me if a ship has entered the Earth's atmosphere"

"Understood, Mr. Wayne." Alexa said.

Seconds later, Alexa corroborates my thoughts by saying:

"Yes sir, currently a ship has just entered the airspace"

"Is it ours or alien origin?" I asked.

"It's ours, sir, and according to records, that ship belongs to Mr. Xavier and his X-Men" Alexa answered.

I nod at this information.

Since this information confirms my assumptions.

Est, who is next to me, looks at the sky again and says:

"In that ship is the host of that cosmic being, father"

From Est's words, it seems that the Phoenix merged with Jean instead of making a new body.

That makes things easy, with a single touch I can destroy the Phoenix's connection to Jean.

Come to think of it, the bastard that caused the birth of the Dark Phoenix was the manipulator called the Mastermind.

That guy must be hiding out there, but it's dangerous to send someone unprepared to fight him.

Guess I'll keep an eye on him if he makes contact with Jean.

What worries me is that it will be like the movie, in that situation I hope that the baldy can create psionic legs to run as fast as he can or he will get his ass kicked.

But hey, that will be a good lesson for him if that situation occurs.

"Let's go back, today I'll cook for you" I said to the girls.

Who put a smile on their faces.

I'll put that aside for now and focus on pampering my girls.
