Chapter 23 White and Hot literally and metaphorically.

"So you are not going to teach me how to fly?" I felt bad looking at them teary-eyed Jean and confused Annie Currently we were going toward their house where Annie's parents were both Annie and Jean were neighbors and according to Annie her parents should be home by now and worried about her which they wouldn't be as I already have informed them.

"No, Jean I will teach you later but for now be a good girl and don't tell anyone about our secret, okay?" I assured her then looked at Annie and asked "Are you okay Annie do you feel anytime?"

She shook her head and said "Nothing. it felt like I woke up after a long sleep. Thank you for taking care of me Alex."

"It is fine. No problem." I replied.

Jean was silent after I assured her as we reached Annie's door Jean in a barely audible voice said "Thank you." I just gave her an assuring smile and then rang the bell, to make matters easier I began releasing positive energy so that they would believe me easily, it is not brainwashing or manipulation but fast-forwarding the process so no harm done.

Immediately the door opened showing Mr.&Mrs. Richardson who had a worried look on their face Mrs. Richardson's face looked like she was crying all the time and Mr. Richardson also had a tired look but upon seeing Annie and Jean too their faces brightened Marrie Richardson hugger her daughter tightly while Andrew barely was controlling himself rushing towards his daughter and looked at me and Jean who was beside me and asked "I assume you are Alex?"

I nodded and he continued "Thank you for saving my daughter and Jean without you I don't know what would happen but can you tell me what happened? We have already informed the police is there are with that?" He asked.

I nodded and said "No problem, I also contacted the police, it was a small gang according to me..." And I began telling false stories and giving some hints about Hellfire Club which he didn't understand as he didn't know them but knew they had a hand in this shit.

After that, I went away not before placing several enchantments here that would protect them, and inform me about anything worth attention, I also deployed several Shadow Skeletons (You can guess by their name) it would be not wrong to stay that this place is now one of the safest places on Earth.

While I was going away I felt another call it was like an invitation, I had a guess who was calling me so I accepted the invitation and now here I am.

The White Hot Room/ the Heart of Creation / the Heart of Phoenix / Beyond the Beyond whatever you may call the Nexus of All Realities of Marvel.

In front of me was a Phoenix Force host whom I didn't know.

Not that I knew many hosts of Phoenix but I knew some that I had met in the past or fought them and knew some from comics one of them was Rook'shir and some other metahumans.

The being in front of me was completely white I didn't even know the gender or how he/she looked like obviously I could know but my focus was the words that came out from the mouth of this being.

"The Phoenix is calling you please follow me."

Can't she summon me directly to herself but whatever.

This realm was unlike any I had seen I have always been fascinated by this place whenever I come here.

The scenery of this place changes every, there are an infinite amount of Phoenix hosts here I am sure I have already spotted hundreds of Jean Greys here or more Metahumans or Mutants though not all Phoenix Force hosts are Metahumans/ Mutants.

Finally, we arrived at the place.

I turned to the woman who led me here, yes curiosity got the better of me, and asked "So I know it is late but what is your name and race?"

The woman didn't say anything and disappeared and I was thankful that I had the perspective of a human otherwise Nexus of All realities would sure have a disaster to deal with, not replying to the Herobrine isn't something any being could afford and Phoenix should know it but she sent this idiot to welcome me but this also tells Phoenix knows about my little Reality breaking adventure.

The moment I entered the room or whatever it is called I heard a woman's voice carrying both elegance and power

"So it was true you have dealt with your stagnation and now view the world like a human."

"But the risk wasn't worth getting a crack in your heart is it Phoenix?" I retorted while looking at the White Phoenix of the Crown in the form of Jean Grey. (Image)

I didn't expect to meet her here but it was not that surprising considering some Jean Grey of some Earth-whatever reality must have reached this level.

"I believe I could have stopped you before you could do much damage, however, it is not for what I have called you, I want to ask you what is your motive behind rescuing Rook'shir's descendants and that sword? It is not a coincidence that you have both M'kraan Crystal and my new host at the same time, is it? What are you planning after coming back?" She asked while looking into my eyes and I sighed.

"Seriously what is wrong with you guys? Although it is not my duty to tell you I will say it was a pure coincidence that I met your host while having both M'kraan Crystal and the sword at the same time. Rook'shir's descendants have a lot of potential as some of your power has mixed in their bloodline so I have taken them and brought them to Gaia's base currently they are living safely there."

"So you were planning to use M'kraan Crystal and that sword for something." She asked a useless question.

I gave her a flat stare and said "You know you look incredibly hot both metaphorically and literally in this White Phoenix thingy and that too in Jean Grey's body I am honestly now contemplating whether to take you into my harem or not. Oh, thinking about making your mighty and majestic self quiver under me turns me on do you know." I gave my honest opinion and stared at her for the barest hint of reaction she would give cause I wanted to test something.

And as expected her cheeks gained a pink tint due to embarrassment and I exclaimed while clasping my hands "I knew it you were not Phoenix. She was never an idiot."

"W- What are you talking about?" She glared at me looking into my eyes but I could see some hesitation in her eyes.

"It's okay Jean this bastard is like this though I didn't expect to be found out that easily. You can relax Jean though you should now be careful if Herobrine has laid his eyes on you many few can save you from him."

A booming and very powerful, more majestic than Jean's, a regal voice was heard from all directions as a burning figure of a woman with long fiery hair made of pure Creation, Rebirth, and Destruction appeared in front of me.

She was Phoenix Force or at least the avatar that Phoenix Force decided you use.(Image)

She looked at me with a literal heartwarming smile and inquired "So how did you find it out? I am sure it was not due to the new White Phoenix of the Crown." Her tone was genuinely curious.

I returned the smile and then looked at Jean Grey (White Phoenix) who was avoiding my gaze "It was easy honestly, most of the beings know my bad habit of collecting unique things, that was one of the reasons I was forbidden from getting the first six infinity stones, they will lie in my treasury like decoration as I don't use external help causing most of the events in the universe to not take place due to absence of the most famous artifacts being missing, same was the case with M'kraan Crystal everyone (higher beings) I will just keep it in my treasury and even if I use it it would not cause harm, most of the time and she was asking what I was planning to do with it."

She raised an eyebrow and nodded then "What about the Blade of Phoenix?"

I gave her a deadpan look and asked "Seriously you are asking this?"

Seeing her nodding "For my collection of swords obviously no matter how powerful your 0.01 % it is nothing for me to be attracted to but it is good to have a sword that has the power of embodiment of (Creation)Life, Rebirth, and Destruction."

She doesn't believe me judging by her look of face. So I sighed and said "Okay. I did it to humiliate Shi'ar."

"Really! You stole a sword to humiliate some empire? Gods can be petty sometimes too." Jean from the background said with a look of realization.

Seeing my questioning gaze about why this Jean Grey looked so naive despite being a White Phoenix, Phoenix Force said "I took your advice seriously from last time and it worked well. And this is the reason I called you though it is not the whole reason, but you have another favour from me."

"And the other reason?" I asked

"It is due to me." It was Jean who said this.

Power Stones????
