Jean excused herself with the excuse of needing to settle in even though Cortana handled everything for her. I understood that this was a lot to process finding out that she was one of the few people that I deemed with potential to be the leader of mankind. She didn't realize that she was selected for any particular reason other than the fact she had potential for large amounts of power making her akin to being a god and the fact she was easy to manage.

My current plan for Jean was to delve into her mind and striking a understanding between myself and the Phoenix force. I wouldn't do that immediately because I wasn't certain that I wouldn't be safe from it's wrath. I also knew I couldn't put it off forever either as this needed to be done regardless of my personal feelings. If nothing else I needed to protect my mind from invasion as I couldn't let the secrets about this world rolling around my head to be known.

...

The following morning I was getting dressed up and ready for Emma's people to pick me up. Apparently the next Hell fire club meeting for the white faction was to take place in Gotham. The Falcone family was hosting the event as white faction members although they didn't hold a distinguished position.

Jean: Aren't you looking fancy in your white suit and it's so perfectly fitted but I never seen a suit quite like this before

Cortana: It was based highborn aesthetics as well as this world's traditional suit designs as for the measurements were taken from my scans the final design was approved by Dejah Thoris the first and currently only wife

Jean: You're MARRIED!

"Yes, I thought you knew it is public knowledge"

Jean: But you're going on a date with another woman!

"Yes"

Jean: What about your wife?!

"She picked my outfit for this date she wanted me to impress Ms Frost. She thinks that Emma would make an excellent sister wife"

Jean: This is crazy, I don't know what to say

"I did a whole cultural segment on my reality with the Gotham Gazette you could watch it to gain some understanding of why my wife and I are doing this."

Jean: ....wait are you still dating Black widow?

"Who?"

Jean: Natasha Romanoff

"Ah her! Yes, we never stopped it's just that she is busy with work and I'm getting the company off the ground and making connections in the world that we barely have time for each other. I could see where the confusion is coming from"

Jean: If you are married than why doesn't your wife live with you?

"She does come home but mostly she is married to her work first then me but it is understandable she is trying to change the world. If she gets too obsessed, starts neglecting her health or our relationship then I will put my foot down as they say in this world. I will not allow her to turn into another Reed Richard forgetting the world around her for her work"

Jean: I am so lost right now... I think I need some time to process all of this and watch the culture segment you mentioned earlier...

Cortana: Sir miss Frost is here for you

"Excellent timing I'll go meet with now (turning my attention back to Jean) I'm heading out if you need me just tell Cortana and she will contact me directly. If you need something just let Cortana know and she'll get it or if you are just bored you can talk with her she's an excellent conversationalist"

Not wasting any time I immediately went to the door which automatically opened as I approached. Emma Frost was stunning as usual wearing a skin tight white dress with a low cut top showing plenty of cleavage and a slit running up to her mid-thigh showing off her gorgeous leg. I knew as the man I needed to give the first compliment before we moved on.

"You look radiant in that dress although I doubt there is anything that could look terrible on you"

Emma: You look quite dashing in your suit.

"Are you ready for a day that will change your life?"

Emma: I am hopeful that you won't disappoint me
