-More reality warping MC~ Finally another NSFW MCU fic that has best girl Laura getting lewd! (☆ω☆)

Synopsis: I admit that the start of this story is partly based on an a.d.u.l.t game called Rogue-like and I do not have permission to use it even though I did try to ask. If you have played that game then you know what I mean. If you haven't it won't be hard to guess what will happen. Anyway, I like the game and I keep meaning to do a story with a Mutant Gothic character so here it is.

Chapter 1-3 (exceptional)

Office. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

I'd had what could be considered a busy day. I'd woken up on a park bench in New York City, and that had given me mixed feelings since while it had meant that I was far from home I actually didn't mind ending up in New York because of it being one of those places I'd always wanted to visit. How I'd gotten there was a total mystery, as was how I'd suddenly become years younger overnight as well as in better shape.

If all of that wasn't strange enough I'd found myself dressed in new casual clothing, and with a wallet full of American money, a wallet that kept refilling itself. Not that I'd known that at first, and I wouldn't have if I'd not left Central Park in order to find something to eat. Of course, I'd brought a Hot Dog because what else does a guy lost in New York buy when he wants fast food?

The realisation of what must have happened to me didn't hit me until I noticed the wallet refill itself and I'd shouted out that I'd been ROB'd, as in I'd been sent off somewhere in the multiverse at the whim of Random Omnipotent Being. So far the ROB had not appeared to explain anything not unless he'd been that old lady walking her dog who'd assured me that I'd not been mugged as my wallet was in my hand.

What happened next involved a version of the X-Men, that fancy jet of theirs and a robot that had wanted to drag me off somewhere for the crime of having a certain gene. I'd been saved by the X-Men, and while that had been very exciting it had also been a rather intense experience. I still hadn't fully processed that happening, and it didn't help that for the rest of the day I'd gotten poked and prodded by Jean Grey and Beast, who was rather intimidating in person, and I hadn't understood half of what he'd been saying about me.

The tests had all lead to me finding out that I was a mutant with a power that arguably made me one of the most powerful mutants around and at the same time one of the weakest. Mutant powers would never work on me directly, this meant that Professor X could not read my mind and Jean Grey could not move me with her telekinetic abilities. At least not directly as while she was able to move a chair I sat in or throw stuff at me.

This meant that many mutants would be powerless against me, but I was helpless against indirect uses of mutant powers and everything else a human had to worry about. So while Xavier couldn't use his powers to affect my mind he could still summon help if I ever attacked him. Not that I intended to.

Also, I could nullify a mutant's powers on contact. Meaning that any mutant dependant on their powers to defend themselves would be helpless as long as I could stay in the physical contact. So I figured that if I did learn to fight I should focus on wrestling moves and stuff like that. This was something I would need to think about in the future, and it would be a bad idea for me to start carrying some sort of weapon. Nothing too dangerous, but I would need to be able to defend myself.

This had all lead to me ending up here in Xavier's office, in his school, which he was inviting me to join. He was offering me a college-level education, protection and my own room. As if I'd say no to that even without the threat of giant flying robots wanting to carry me off somewhere since for now, I had nowhere else to go.

"For now, feel free to look around and get a feel of the school," said the man who did look a lot like Patrick Steward, only younger than I'd ever seen him "this isn't a decision that should be rushed into after all. I've had a room prepared for you in advance, and someone will be here soon to show you around".

Since I'd arrived here not that long ago. I could only assume that Professor X, as he was affectionately known to his students, both young and a bit older, had made arrangements with his telepathy. That would also explain how one of his students knew to arrive exactly when I needed someone to show me around.

"You called for me, Professor?" Rogue asked casually, her eyes flickering over to me for the briefest of seconds before she looks back at Xavier "Do you need ma help?".

As she spoke I looked her over, she definitely looked like the X-Men Evolution version, short auburn hair with a few white streaks in the front, pale skin covered some make-up and a spiked collar for some reason. Not sure what sort of fashion statement she was supposed to be making, but to me, she looked damn hot. Which was somewhat of a problem as I was not a teenage boy mentally only physically I really shouldn't be attracted to her, but I also wanted her to get down on her knees and suck me off.

This was made worse by the fact that her somewhat see-through green top revealed the black halter-top beneath it, and that in turn revealed a nice amount of cleavage, not enough to be indecent but she clearly doesn't mind showing off what she has, same with the short black skirt showing that her long legs covered in dark leggings. Despite her outfit, very little skin was exposed, a precaution to stop her from accidentally draining people. She's even wearing gloves. Alas, no man got to touch what she had to offer. What cruel, cruel irony.

"Yes, I did Rogue. This is Zero he'll be staying here for tonight at least, and possibly be joining us as a student" bald mind reader guy replied, "I'd like you to give him the tour and answer any questions he may have about the school".

At least I'd get to admire the view. It wouldn't be too bad if I just looked. I didn't know how long I'd be able to resist the temptation to touch up some mutant girl, but I could hold out for a while.

As for the name, well it made sense since mutants tended to take new names. Not all of them did, but it was something a tradition for people who found they had mutant powers. I was Zero because mutant powers have zero effect on me. That name had been decided for me during the testing.

"Yeah, sure" she replied, "Is that all you need?".

She seemed nervous for some reason. This was odd because I should be the nervous one here. New kid and all that.

"It is, thank you," the teacher said before turning his head to address me "For now, Zero, please make yourself at home, if you have any questions feel free to ask either me, one of the other teachers or the students themselves. They are quite willing to help".

Sleeping before I decided what to next would be a good idea. Not that my options were great. Either I stayed here or I got grabbed by a Sentinel. But at least I had a choice.

"I will, thank you," I said, figuring that I might as well be polite.

Since I wasn't supposed to know everyone here I decided to act that way.

"So.. Rouge was it?" I pretended to ask "Please lead the way".

And that wasn't just so I could check out her ass.

"Come on, let's go," she said to me.

We travelled only a few meters from the office before I found out why she seemed to be so nervous around me.

"So, is what I heard about you true?" she finally asked.

Given her powers and the nature of my powers I doubted that Xavier had called Rogue to his office by chance. I could not be directly affected by mutant powers and I cancelled them on touch so Rogue should be able to make physical contact with me without endangering my health. Something she had to be thinking about intently given how much she biting her lower lip in a way that it is both very adorable and a bit s.e.xy.

"Can you really cancel out other Mutants powers?" she asked me "Stop them from working?"

I could hear a twinge of hope in her voice.

"According to the people who've been poking and prodding me all day" I replied "Mutant powers can not affect me directly, but I don't know if I can turn them off when the mutant isn't trying to use them on me. That will be one of the things the teachers will try to help me with".

Mutant powers might not always grow in strength over time, I simply didn't know, but like anything else, they benefited from some training. Maybe I would learn to switch powers off. That could be quite the shock to some of the villains in this universe.

"Did they tell you about my power?" she asks after a moment.

"No, they didn't" I answered truthfully.

I had heard Jean Gray or Grey, however, it was spelt, mention Rogue, but without any context, and she couldn't have known that I already knew all about Rogue.

"You see I drain the people I touch. Everyone I touch... I almost killed my first boyfriend with a kiss, and I haven't really touched anyone ever since" the mutant girl told me "Ca... Can I touch you? Just a little bit, just to see if your power works on me?".

I could so leverage this into becoming her boyfriend who wouldn't have to treat her that well since I was literally her only opinion for any real physical intimacy. But it would be wise of me to take a little time to adjust to my new life first. Most of the shock had worn off while I was still in the lab, but I should at least decide if I was staying or not before trying to score with a teenage girl. Of course, it would be rather cruel of me not to let her have that intimacy despite our age difference.

"Sugah I promise, if you feel anything, I'll stop right away," she promised, "I just want to know if you can stop my power from hurting you".

I figured that at worst she'd knock me out for a few hours. Frankly, I could do with the rest.

"Sure, I need to try out my power," I said

I really liked the sound of 'my power'.

"But if pass out you'll have to drag me to my room" I warned.

She seemed willing to take the risk.

"How do you want to do this?" I asked casually

I'd heard the expression 'seeing her face light up' but I'd never seen anyone brighten up like as she did.

"Just stay still for a moment, let me know if you feel anything weird" she instructed.

She let the very tips of her fingers touch my cheek, that was smooth for a change as I had no facial hair there, and when nothing happened she ended up just placing her hand on my cheek and leaving in there for a time. Once she removed her hand she inspected the spot she'd touched as if she was expecting it to have changed somehow. Then after pulling her other glove off, she placed both her hands on my cheeks, caressing them gently as if she was scared I might break.

"Is that enough?" I asked.

This was starting to feel strange, and not in a life-sucking way.

"I'd forgotten how it feels" she admitted to me.

We got back on with the business at hand, and this involved me getting a tour of the campus. I was not thrilled about the shared showers, but at least I had my own room, with a toilet and sink in a side room. Aside from that, there was a group living area, a nice kitchen, a cafeteria, classrooms and so on, even a cool looking game room. The Danger Room interested me the most as this world was a hostile place for a mutant and my powers were useless against non-mutants so I would need some training so I could learn how to defend myself.

"This is your room," said Rogue at the end of the tour "I'm just down the hall with Kitty".

I had no idea if she wanted to ask me something or if she wanted me to ask her something, and I was too tired to care. I went into my new room so that I could get some sleep. It had been a long day.

Hallway. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

After getting dressed I headed out in the hopes of finding food, but since I'd gotten to bed so early I'd woken up at the crack of dawn so the cafeteria here wouldn't be open for a while. I ended up wandering around for a while until I found the kitchen and someone already in it. I had no idea which of my fellow freaks he was, but given that he was eating ice cream for breakfast I figured that he might the ice guy.

"Hi I'm Bobby Drake," he said, "Some people with no imagination called me Iceman".

Well, that greatly helped in narrowing it down.

"So you either you have ice-based powers or you're a big Eugene O'Neill fan," I said.

He gave me a confused look.

"Eugene O'Neill he wrote a play called The Iceman Cometh" I explained.

I had some very odd and nearly always useless information stored in my head. That's how I knew this guy was Rogue's boyfriend in the X-Men movies, but I was getting a gay vibe from this version, not that it bothered me it just came as a surprise since I'd not been expecting it from him. I could be wrong, but I'd had gay friends in the past and there are certain signals they give off. Something in the body language.

At this point, I decided that it might be polite to introduce myself.

"It's Zero right?" Drake then asked, "Your mutant name I mean".

Yes, I had a freaky new name but so much of my life was strange these days.

"Sure," I said, before deciding to change the subject "So ice cream for breakfast?".

"I like cold food," he said.

Well, that made sense, and I figured that since I now had my teenage metabolism back that I might as well take advantage of it so I joined Bobby for some ice cream.

"From what I hear you can cancel out mutant powers" the Iceman mentioned as I began to eat.

That wasn't exactly right.

"It's more like mutant powers don't work if they are used on me directly and I touch a mutant their powers don't work," I told Bobby "But I don't know how that would work with your ice powers".

Bobby reached out and touched my arm.

"Feel colder?" he asked.

I did not, and we began to experiment, he could freeze a glass of water that I was touching on the outside, but if I placed my finger inside the glass the water would only freeze around it.

"So I guess you can throw ice at me and surround me with it, but you can just turn me into a popsicle" I deduced.

This was strange since even he couldn't freeze my body the water I was touching should have frozen. I had a lot to figure out about my powers. Thankfully it looked as if I'd met someone who was willing to help me test them out.

Bobby decided to show me the way to class, not that I had to go since I wasn't actually a student here, but it seemed smart to see all the school had to offer before deciding to stay, and that meant finding out what kind of education they have here.

"So what kind of classes do you have?" I asked.

Bobby Drake showed me his time table. The subjects, lengths of the lessons and the way they were spaced out made sense given the college level of education. I had no idea how subjects were chosen, but I felt certain that if I asked some arrangments could be made to put me classes that actually interested me. The courses even mattered as they might help me to get certain jobs in the future.

One of the very strange things about my magic wallet was that it contained a valid driver's licence, and I somehow knew how to drive, as well as some sort of citizenship card. I had an entire history in this world, although it wasn't much of one. Apparently, as an orphan that according to my medical records, I had those too, I'd been bounced around from one dumping ground for unwanted children to another.

"Ethics" I read out "That sounds dull".

Bobby didn't agree.

"The Professor teaches that class himself, he's brilliant," the Iceman said.

Bobby had just finished warning about the version of the mutant Pyro in this universe, who was an emo self-harming type who stayed in his room, when I realised that everyone was older than I'd been expecting.

"There aren't any kids here" I mentioned.

Bobby looked at me if I was a little odd.

"This is a college campus," he said.

Well, I knew that already.

"Professor X would never train kids to be X-Men," Bobby said, "Not that we have to become X-Men".

That did make sense. Only evil people made use of child soldiers.

"Yes, but what happens to mutants who get their powers before they can go to college?" I asked.

Now Bobby seemed to understand my confusion.

"Most mutants don't get their powers until they're our age," he told me "and if they do there's another school for them".

He then checked his watch.

"Come on we'll be late" he insisted

On the way to class, I got hit by a girl sized projectile mostly in pink. She ran right into me and got knocked on her cute little butt.

"Kitty, you okay?" asked Bobby.

He helped her up while I tried to remember what I could about this girl.

"I hit you!" she yelled.

Yes, that was what had just happened. At least her short term memory hadn't been damaged.

"You need to look where you're going," I advised.

She looked offended and then realization was written on her face.

"Oh you're the new kid," she said.

I resented her use of the word kid as she was like four foot nothing.

"New I am" I confirmed, "and it's really lucky that my power nullified yours before you began phasing through me or we'd have ended up fused together as one person, or maybe exploding into chunky people soup".

That got me some odd looks from the people here.

"So you're the weird new kid, good to know," she said in a not mean way "See you later weirdo".

I checked out her cute little ass as she walked away.

"Nice girl" I commented.

"Sure, if you like that sort of thing," Bobby said, "She's a little on the shrimpy side".

With that, we headed off to class.

Classroom. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

The classroom, or lecture hall 1 as it called, seemed typical for a college classroom that you might see on TV. The layout had the students sitting at desks which were on levels higher up the further back you go so as to give everyone a clear view of the teacher. I'd been to college during old life, but they'd not had lecture halls as fancy as these.

Not that I paid much attention to the lesson or the place it was held in once I'd found out that the teacher was Emma Frost. I was fairly certain that she was both telepathic and a bad guy, to put it in simple terms, and while the telepathic part didn't really matter with me, the villain part did. Normally there would be no chance of someone who'd been part of a terrorist organisation being allowed to teach at any sort of school, but this could be a Snape situation in that Forst used to be evil and now is apparently good.

That would make Xavier the Dumbledore in this situation and that made sense when you considered his position and overly trusting nature, and I was fairly sure he'd purposely called Rogue to his office just yesterday so we'd met knowing that she'd be drawn to a guy who could make physical contact with her. Perhaps he really believed that it would make us both happy if we were together, but the more cynical part of me suspected that the Professor wanted me to stick around, and was willing to use Rogue as an incentive.

I could certainly see a use for me in the X-Men group. If I could learn to turn off mutant powers I then could switch off the powers of mutants who made trouble. All the other X-Men would have to do was pin a bad mutant down long enough for me to do whatever it was I might be able to do to switch off their powers. That was the kind of long term plan that involved manipulating a few people, but Xavier was one of those kinds of people who were convinced that their way of thinking and doing was totally correct. If he believed it was the right thing to do to make me an X-Men despite my own desires he'd find a way to make it happen.

When the class came to an end Miss Frost asked me to stay behind, and it turned not to be because of something I'd done, but rather something she'd failed to do, and that was to get a read of me, which meant she'd not been able to enter my mind and simply find out what she wanted.

"Do you telepaths normally invade people's private thoughts without their permission?" I asked.

While I was immune to this I'd be very upset if I was anyone else around here.

"Most people's thoughts aren't worth reading and they aren't exactly private, you don't need to read minds to know what most of the boys in the class are thinking about when they look at me," she said to me "But you looked at me differently".

She basically a female version of Snape as far as I was concerned, and I knew that she must have done some real shady things while playing for the other team. Not that I was judging her past actions much, I was more concerned for the future, and how she might be here to recruit for Magneto, and how he might not take no for an answer if he made me an offer through his spy. Assuming that she wasn't a spy for Xavier or both, or working on her own plans.

"I was hoping that we'd be able to spend some time together" Forst was now saying "Since I can't simply figure you out I'd like to do so the old fashioned way. As an experiment of sorts, and maybe I can help you out at the same time".

By that, I assumed she meant talking to me rather than violate my mind.

"I don't want to be a lab rat," I said.

It suddenly became clear to me just how much cleavage this woman had, and it was a lot.

"There must be some way I can make it worth your while," she said.

Okay, this made no sense. There had to be some sort of alterer motive behind this, and perhaps I should go along with this just to find out more about what was going on around here.

"Alright," I said as I headed for the door "I guess I can make the time".

And if she wasn't just flirting then maybe I'd see those big tits of hers. They looked huge from where I'd been standing.

Bedroom. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

"Something I can help you with?" I asked

Rogue had just barged into my room without so much a single knock, and I would have gotten mad about it if not for the fact that she looked a little ill. Or maybe like someone who needed a fix of a drug, or least a strong cup of coffee, I'd seen this look before.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"So... ever since I touched you, I-I've had an aching for more," she told me.

Wait, was she craving for some touch like it was some sort of narcotic. She couldn't be this desperate just to make skin to skin to skin contact.

"I need this, it's all I've been able to think about," she admitted.

A wicked part of me quickly recognised that I could get a lot from Rogue if I played my cards right here, but I felt bad for thinking that way. At times having a conscience can really suck the fun out of life.

"Why don't go you see that Beast guy maybe he can figure out if this is something to do with my powers" I suggested, "Perhaps making contact with someone without draining anything has affected you".

She assured me that she'd already gone to talk to Beast, but I wasn't sure I believed that.

"What if I make it worth your while?" she offered "What if I let you touch me back? Wherever you want?".

I couldn't resist the offer my desire for female flesh was simply too strong. I blame the hormones.

"Okay," I said while patting the part of my bed next to me "Let's just see where this goes".

While it's normally the guy trying to stick his hand up a girl's top at a time like this, but that was Rogue's opening move. She gently placed a hand on my chest after going up into my shirt, and she soon started running it across my chest. This seemed to be an intensely e.r.o.t.i.c experience for her.

"Just... start touching when you want to," she invited.

Before long we were snogging and grabbing at each other like a couple of horny teenagers, because that was what we actually were, at least physically, and this was very much consensual if anything she was the more aggressive one. Actually going as far as to pull my shirt up so that she could plant kisses on my bare chest.

Not to be outdone by some mere novice I began moving my hands behind Rogue so that I could undo her bra. Getting the damn thing off took some work and I had to stop the kissing for a few moments, an act that resulted in her giving me sad pout, but she smiled again when I ended up simply staring at her now bare chest.

"Like what you see, Sugah?" she asked.

Her accent seemed to have gotten stronger all of a sudden.

"Oh yeah," I said.

At this point I pretty much attacked her b.r.e.a.s.ts, sucking on her n.i.p.p.l.es, pinching them, kneading the flesh with my hands when they weren't wrapped around her h.i.p.s. I went at them for a while with Rogue holding on to me so tightly that you'd think I might be trying to run away. Just when I'd been thinking about coming up for air, Rogue shuddered and called out as if c.u.m.m.i.n.g, and that did look as if what had just happened.

"Did you get off from me messing with your b.o.o.b.s?" I asked.

There had to be something mutant related going on here. Perhaps I should talk to one of the teacher's about my powers and how they might affect other mutants in the long term.

"Yeah I did and it was good," she told me.

She then reached down to touch my erection.

"Listen, I promised to make this worth your while right?" she said.

As I sat on the bed she got down on her knees and took my c.o.c.k out, taking a moment to praise me on my size, before she started giving me a handjob. She wasn't that good at it, but she kept giving me a s.e.xy look when I wasn't busy staring at her tits.

"Why don't you shoot all over them, sugar?" she offered.

I didn't do that right away, and when I did there was quite a lot of c.u.m now decorating her rather impressive funbags.

"Damn should have gotten some tissues" she complained.

She then shrugged and put her bra in her jacket pocket as best she could before covering up her sticky tits with her top.

"I'll go take a shower, and do some laundry" she let me know "Thanks darlin I'll be later for some more fun".

While a woman in my place might have felt used given that she'd quickly left after having some fun, I didn't mind as it meant I could go back to my book.

Danger Room. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

While hitting the floor, I could only sigh as once again Kitty knocked me down on to the mat. It had rapidly become clear to me that I had a long way to go before I could even consider myself the equal of even the next newest student. It really wasn't fair as most of them had powers that could be used offensively even if they couldn't use them against me in a direct way.

When it came to Kitty I could stop her from Phasing, but that didn't matter that much, nor did the fact that she was looked small enough to fit in the cupboard under the stairs. She could still knock me on my ass with one good kick if she really put some effort into it and did it the right way. Not that shocking when you remembered that Wolverine is her PE teacher. His training would be very harsh and effective.

What didn't help was that Kitty only wore a tank top and a pair of yoga shorts as in this outfit she showed off a lot of skin, and I couldn't seem to stop getting distracted by imagining how her skin felt, or by not so subtly trying to look down her top. Thankfully she didn't call me out on that.

"So how's it feel to get beaten up by a girl?" Kitty teased.

I slowly stood up.

"Did I do something to piss you off in past life?" I asked.

I must have as she tried to kick me again, only this time I grabbed her foot, and using my one real advantage, that being my much greater upper body strength I knocked her to the ground as she lost her balance when I pushed her foot away from me.

She got back up and tackled me, pushing me down by unbalancing me with her scarily strong legs. Not I would complain about a hot girl mounting me. Although that did result in me not wanting to get up again as the erection would be noticeable by all.

"You better be good to Rogue" Kitty warned.

Oh, so that was what all this about.

"I'm not even dating her," I said "I don't even know if I want to date her. I might not even stay".

Kitty wiggled a little totally on purpose.

"I don't think she's going to have any problems," she teased "Boys are so easy".

Was it my imagination or was Kitty enjoying this contact too much? Was she going to end up like Rogue, or had that been a special case due to the way her powers worked?

"I'll get off you and you can take a breather," the mutant girl said, "Until you calm down".

That was very considerate of her.

Chapter 2

Office. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

"I'm glad that you have decided to stay with us, Zero," said Professor X.

Well, it wasn't as if I had anywhere else to go, not really, and while I did have some background in this world, it ended with some medical records and a High School diploma. This would be fine if my ambitions in life didn't extend beyond getting a low paying job and a crappy apartment. However, I did want more for myself and now that I had a superpower I wanted to learn what it could do.

"While attending my school you will be required to follow the rules" I was informed.

Most school rules were common sense and I had at least some of that rarest of human traits, as such I didn't even bother to look at them. It wasn't if Xavier was going to kick me out of his school for running in the halls or something minor. He was too soft-hearted for that, so as long as I didn't harm another student I should be fine, and I had no reason to do something so nasty to anyone.

"Aside from classes, you'll have chances to learn how to use your mutant power in productive ways" the headteacher of this school was now saying "According to what we've learned so far your ability to nullify mutant powers that are used on you does not appear to have anything to do with your body, at least far as we can tell, so most likely it is a mental ability, like my telepathy or Jean's telekinetics, or Emma's talent for making people see things that aren't there".

I'd seen Frost in the X-Men movies so I had some idea of what she could to people, and I was grateful that she could not do those things to me. Someone like her could have me seeing only what she wanted to see, and that made her more dangerous than most mutants.

"Given time Emma will help you understand your powers" I was told, "Like me, she believes that there could be more to your ability than we've seen so far".

Upon hearing that I had to wonder what he meant. I also realised that I'd been right about thinking that Frost's request to spend time with me was part of something larger.

"You think I can do more?" I asked.

Xavier moved behind his desk before speaking.

"The abilities of some mutants are rather straightforward and don't change much," he said, "Take Scott or Cyclops as he is also known, as an example, while there are ways to make his power safe to use in a battle, it is rather direct. When he opens eyes beams of energy will destroy anything he looks at unless he has protection".

Xavier had more to say.

"But some powers can be rather more versatile, Storms ability to control the weather has many uses" he went on to say "My powers began with me only reading the minds of people who I had eye contact with, and Jean used to have no control at all".

I started to understand where he was going with this.

"So I could really learn to switch off a mutant's powers in the long term?" I asked.

Professor X directed me to take a book from the shelf and upon inspection, I saw that it was about mental exercises meant to help you focus. Normally I would scoff at some of what this book had to offer as it mentioned mediation methods and stuff like that.

"It is possible that your ability to nullify mutant powers is a defensive reaction" I was informed "A way of you using your powers to protect yourself from mutants. It's oddly specific and I can't help wondering if a reaction to my X-Men bringing you here. Mutant powers are known to manifest for the first time due to stress so if the Sentinal attack and the appearance of some of my older students did cause your powers to manifest then it could be a single use of some greater power. Some sort of psychic defence I'd imagined. Quite useful on its own, but we should assume that you can do more".

Even if I could only extend the range of my powers that alone would be worth training and could even get me a place with the X-Men as having someone who could turn everyone's powers off on a battlefield would be a huge advantage. At least for the people prepared for it. Although some sort of stun weaponry would help as well.

There was a knock at the door and once invited Storm came in with a laminated piece of paper in her hand.

"Zero I have your time table," she told me.

I took it and looked it over.

My schedule was light. Two classes Monday to Friday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with one lesson with Xavier on Saturday afternoons covering Ethics.

"I never studied Ethics before," I said.

Most of the classes were easy enough to understand and suitable for me, a mix of my interests and stuff I'd need. History. Computer sciences, that sort of thing.

"All mutants need to learn to use their abilities," Xavier said to me as Storm left the room "And just as importantly we need to learn when, where and why we should use them. In the Danger Room, there will be plenty of chances for you to learn to use your powers in a violent situation, and many of the teachers have classes in the Danger Roon that you can join as you wish. With me, you will learn why we mutants must sometimes fight".

From what I understood the main conflict was between the Xavier lead X-Men and Magneto's followers who were called the Brotherhood of Mutants. Both wanted the same thing, a world where mutants can live without fear. So fundamentally the two leaders want the same thing. The two just have very different ideas on how to achieve this end.

Xavier strongly believes that the only way to live peacefully with Homo Sapiens is to show that while mutants may sometimes look different, they are still human beings. Aggression against the rest of mankind only serves to escalate confrontations with humans in the future and further alienate mutants from society. Though the X-Men often use their powers in combat, they do so almost solely against other powered beings or as a last resort against humans.

Magneto has no desire to go quietly to camps and be exterminated by humans as his family had been during World War 2, and that could happen as humans tended to fear that they didn't understand and they could lash out in fear. Sure humans also liberated the camps at the end of World War II, but the fact that they'd ever existed at all was enough to justify his actions, at least for Magneto.

"What do you think of the relationship between mutants and the rest of humanity?" I was asked as the Professor and I chatted a little about that matter "Do you think we can live in peace or do mutants have the right to use their powers to supplant Homo Sapiens as the dominant species on the planet".

Not an easy question to answer.

"I think if Homo Sapiens are going to go the way of the Neanderthals and be replaced by people with powers then it will happen with or without me" I answered "It might take centuries or even thousands of years, and I'll be long dead by then. I'm more interested in keeping myself alive. Attacking the humans who outnumber us by millions is not a good idea. Mutants don't have the numbers or powers to counter the sheer military might of just the USA, so it did come to war we'd be the ones wiped out".

Xavier didn't seem to approve or disapprove of my answer. I supported neither side really, but I'd pay lip service to Xavier's ideas if it kept a roof over my head. Over time I'd have to act as if I was coming around to his way of thinking. He'd have no way of telling that I would have plans of my own, or that I even could have plans of my own. Right now I barely knew what I fancied for lunch.

"So you think its best to keep our heads down and let history play out" summarised the man in the wheelchair "But what if other mutants threaten to start a war that could destroy us all. What will you do then?".

Of course, I knew why he was asking this, and again it wasn't easy to answer.

"I really don't know," I said.

That seemed to satisfy him for now.

Room. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

Rogue was not stupid, she wasn't naive about guys either, and she very much wanted to be a relationship with someone she cared about that involved all the fun parts, including s.e.x. If her powers had been different she might have acted more proper, and let the guys chase after her, but with her powers that simply wasn't possible. Guys didn't go after her, she could only ever be friends with them.

All of a sudden this had changed when a new student arrived at the school. Her fellow mutant had the power to cancel out her powers, at least so they couldn't be used on himself, and finding a guy like that was for her a dream come true. Only he was acting as she'd imagined, he wasn't all over her, he wasn't even paying her that much attention, or at least not enough. Not that this was due to any sort of rudeness, she was sure that he just needed time to settle in.

The problem for Rogue was that she wasn't the only girl on campus. There were far prettier girls around, at least in her view, and who were also single as dating opportunities for mutants weren't exactly frequent. There was a limited number of male mutants here on campus, and most of them were not suitable even for the girls who weren't Rogue. Dating non-mutants wasn't a good idea because mutants needed to pass for normal as much as possible so they couldn't go around telling people about their powers and non-mutants might react badly if they discovered the truth.

Scott, the most desired by the girls here, had been claimed by Jean, who made it very clear that it would be unwise for any girl to even look in Scott's general direction. A girl called Amanda Sefton was with Kurt, Bobby was gay, and the rest of the guys on offer wouldn't appeal much when compared to the new guy with the strange powers.

So Rogue had decided to be bold. To make a statement of sorts. To do something that would make Zero, the new guy, want her. She couldn't just move on and try to find someone else because anyone else could die just from just a kiss. For her, it was Zero or nothing, a least for now. Perhaps if he could switch off her powers things could be different, but she'd spent far too much time wishing things could be different and nothing had changed.

With that in mind, she made his way into his bedroom and found the mutant known as Zero sitting on his bed, he was reading a book, something he did a lot, but soon he'd have something more interesting to look at. He moved to sit on the edge of the bed as he asked why she was here. Rogue figured that the look she was giving him should answer that question, and if it didn't then she could make her intentions even more clear.

Without a word she then dropped to the ground and wiggled her way in between Zero's legs. After that she slid her hands up the mutant's body and then back down, stopping at his groin. Once she'd done that she began to unbutton his jeans. She undid the button, and almost frantically pulled down the zipper. With a couple of tugs, she brought his jeans down to his ankles, to reveal his black boxers.

Rogue smiled as she saw the bulge that was only hidden from her eyes due to his underwear. She reached up, and with her soft hands she gripped the waistband of his boxers and pulled them down. While smiling at up at Zero the mutant known as Rogue pulled his underwear all the way down and they soon joined his jeans at the bottom of his ankles.

Before long she reached out for his d.i.c.k and took it into her slightly trembling hand, the only sign of how nervous she really was. He'd gotten hard very quickly, something that pleased Rogue quite a bit, and despite her nervousness, she'd dedicated herself to this course of action and intended to go through with it.

She took a deep breath and looked up at Zero as she began jerking him off.

"Relax Darling" she encouraged "I'm gonna make you feel good".

She took as much of his d.i.c.k into her mouth as best she could, nearly choking herself. Then she slowly brought his shaft out of her mouth, using her tongue on it, trying to make him feel good while knowing that she'd have to take things a bit slower than she'd wanted to.

When Zero started making some noises that signalled approval of what Rogue was doing she smiled even more as she was pleased with the effect she was having on the guy she'd chosen to be her man. She just wanted to prove herself able to please him so he'd not object to her claiming of him. She didn't intend to say anything like that, she knew his gender well enough to know that it would be best to act as things were causal at first for his sake, but she'd make it clear that Zero was off the market.

That was something to think about later, for now, she needed to make Gothic feel good so that he'd come to her for more attention. She licked the tip of his shaft and planted kisses as she did her best to use her hands to and mouth to make Gothic feel good.

She withdrew somewhat as she tasted his pre-c.u.m. It wasn't the greatest taste in the world but when it had entered her mouth a wave of pleasure had run through her body. Like a small orgasm, and he hadn't even touched her. What would it be like when she swallowed?.

Rogue understood that she desired Zero's touch even before she'd jerked him off. Since then the desire to make contact had become more manageable, and according to the tests run on her there was nothing physically wrong with her so the craving was all in her head, but it had remained and it had started building up again. Now she felt great as if she'd not had caffeine for days and someone had just brought an expresso.

When Zero began to lie back Rogue once again took his entire length into her mouth. She felt more energised now, and very s.e.xy. She took off her top but left her bra on since he wasn't looking at her. If she couldn't swallow, and she would try her best to, she'd let it dribble out on her tits, he might like that.

She slowly but surely slid his c.o.c.k out of her mouth and withdrew to his head making a loud slurping sound as she did. Rogue's head soon begun to bob up and down, as she got used to this strange new feeling. This was her first time giving anyone a blowjob, but she'd listen to others talk about such things and clearly she was a natural.

"R..R..Rogue...I'm g...gonna c.u.m!" he warned,

It squirted a glob of thick liquid into her awaiting mouth, and Rogue swallowed every bit, forcing herself to take it all, she wanted to impress her man, and while the taste left something to be desired, the main event made the pre-c.u.m she'd swallowed earlier seem rather pitiful. She didn't fake how much she enjoyed him c.u.m.m.i.n.g inside her mouth she actually orgasmed.

Not wanting to crowd Zero, or to appear desperate for his attention she stood up and put her top back on.

"Here, this is my number..." Rogue said while writing down her number

Not that Zero had a phone or a need to call anyone since all the people he knew in this world lived in the same big house.

"We can do this again... right?" she asked,

Her newfound confidence began shaking slightly as an unsure look appeared on her face, but she need not have worried. He wanted more she was sure of that.

"We can keep things causal between us, Sugah" she promised, "You know where I am if you want more".

Room. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

When one of the girls at the school you live at can pass through solid objects with no more effort than moving through patches of sunlight, having a locked bedroom door becomes rather pointless, as such Kitty ended up walking in on me while I was changing and sure she noticed this, but it didn't stop her from having a go about me what was on her mind.

"So you're not dating Rogue," she said, "Why not?".

Had the following lecture been written down that would have been the title of it on paper, and that title was followed by a lecture on the whole 'friends with benefits things' never lasting, and how it always results in someone getting their feelings hurt, something I knew all too well.

"Okay first of all. I don't want to date," I said to Kitty "It's only been a few days since I woke up on a bench in New York with no idea how I got there or why I was there. Then I got attacked by a giant robot that wanted to drag me off to what I can only assume would be some government lab for study, captivity and maybe even dissection. Then I get saved by the X-Men, brought here, I get a load of tests run on me, and as soon as I decide to stay or not I get people who barely know me coming up to me and telling me how to live my life".

I had a bit more to say.

"And second its really none of your business" I then said.

She took that last part rather personally.

"Rogue is my best friend" she insisted.

I sighed.

"Yes, but my life isn't your business" I reminded her "Right now I'm confused and a little scared, so I'm in no fit state to care for anyone else, but I didn't want to break Rogue's heart by outright regretting her".

Kitty stopped glaring at me as I realised that I'd spoken out loud about things I'd not even realised were bothering me. I'd thought that I was handling all this rather well, but perhaps I wasn't, and Kitty picked up on that, and since she was kind she came over and hugged me. Which felt good and she seemed to agree as she m.o.a.ned in pleasure when my arms went around her. She stayed there for a while enjoying the feeling way more than I was judging by how fiercely she held on.

"Just don't hurt my friend" she warned when she turned to leave "Or I'll phase into the showers when you're in there and steal your clothes. Everyone will laugh at you".

That was not an empty threat since my clothes could be phased if I wasn't wearing them.

(Line Break)

Clothes Store. Shopping Mall.

While Rogue had to be careful about her choices in fashion when she went in public and even at home she now had a guy to impress. So she'd ventured to the nearest mall to find something to wear in private that would make Zero never want her to leave his room when he invited her over. She was now looking at some s.e.xy sleepwear and she held it up to her body as she looked in a mirror, it should show off her b.o.o.b.s nicely when combined with that lacy bra she'd picked out earlier. All in green as the colour suited her.

"Careful, those can be lethal weapons" Kitty warned.

Rogue tilted her head and while looking through her shades, she noticed the short, thin brunette girl who was standing next to her.

"What was that, Kitty?" Rogue asked.

The two girls had come shopping together as they often did and then ended up finding clothes that suited them, only regrouping to exchange opinions.

"Your b.o.o.b.s," she said "If you display them like that any guy who sees you will pass out from lack of blood flow to the head".

Rogue could only hope

"You're just jealous that you don't have b.o.o.b.s to flaunt," the more sassy girl snapped back.

Kitty looked down at her own chest and frowned. This made Rogue feel bad.

"I think all the guys are checking out your butt anyway," said the mutant with the bigger cup size.

Kitty did have a cute backside, and Rogue had to wonder when she'd started thinking about such things.

"So how are things going?" Kitty questioned, "With Zero I mean".

Rogue wouldn't talk private things but the other mutant was her best friend.

"I've made sure he knows I'm interested," she said.

That didn't answer Kitty's question.

"Come on I want deets" the shorter girl said.

A smile shot across Rogue's face as she thought about the things she'd been getting up over the last few days.

"Well, we've done some kissing" Rogue admitted "and some touching in places I never been touched before".

Kitty just stood there, listening to her best friend's every word with the biggest grin on her face.

"Oh yesterday I got to prove my wonderful oral skills," Rogue confessed, "and I don't mean I was in French class".

That she badly wanted to do again.

"Wow, aren't you a little s.l.u.t," Kitty said with a giggle. "So..was he...big?".

Rogue wanted to be a bit of a s.l.u.t, but not too much.

"Well," she said as she thought. "I got nobody to compare him to, but he's plenty big enough for me, and it didn't taste that good when he finished, but I sure felt s.e.xy".

"Oh my god! Did you really swallow? Kitty asked.

Rogue had been under the impression that doing so was normal.

"What? Like you wouldn't? You'd never do that with your boyfriend?" she asked

Kitty seemed a little embarrassed.

"I've never done that with a guy," she told her friend "But it sounds nasty".

Rogue had found it enjoyable enough.

"Well, don't knock it until you've tried it sugah," said Rogue.

The smaller mutant sure wanted to try it.

"So are you two, like dating now?" Kitty asked.

The taller of the two girls frowned upon hearing that.

"No," she said "I don't wanna scare him off. You know what guys are like with commitment. I'll keep my distance for a while and let him come to me. You have to let men chase you a bit even if you make the first move. Then I'll have him all for myself".

That was the plan.

"Yeah, like Scott how will probably always love Jean," said Kitty.

Rogue looked over at Scott who outside of the clothes store with his girlfriend who was not shy about letting everyone know who she was with.

"Gawd, look at her," Kitty exclaimed, "She's like hanging all over Scott".

While Rogue was no longer crushing on Scott as she used to that didn't mean she liked how Jean publicly displayed her affection for him.

"Ah don't see what Scott see's in her," Rogue said to the phasing mutant. "Ah mean her b.o.o.b.s are so much smaller than mine. And look, her ass is so flat".

Kitty giggled upon hearing that

"Ah bet she isn't even a natural redhead," Rogue said as she continued to mock Jean.

This went on for a while.

(Line Break)

Danger Room. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

From what I understood the Danger Room created holographic environments, people and objects, as such when training in this space we students had a lot of stuff to train with. In fact, the only limits here other than ourselves was that creating new training programs became a time-consuming endeavour.

Another feature of interest was that the room can also create obstacle courses from the machinery inside the floor and the walls and that the programming could make predictions on what you'll do based on past actions, so you always have to stay on your toes. It stops you from falling into predictable routines.

Some of the simulations were basically a series of dry runs for future missions for the X-Men and those who were training for the role even if they'd never put on the uniform. I wasn't sure if I wanted that sort of life for myself, I wasn't the heroic type, but I could use the training as it would come in useful later no matter where I ended up. Somehow I didn't think that I'd end up behind a desk during this lifetime. Not if some ROB had placed me here, it would want to be amused.

There had to be safeties and such in place so as to prevent serious injury or even death, otherwise, they wouldn't let students in here. To ensure that there was always someone in the see-through glass room, the one with all the computers and other technology that made the Danger Room work while preventing anyone who used it from dying in a painful manner.

I waited for my class to begin, and that would involve a sadistic Wolverine making me run laps and survive the obstacle course, that he would make me run until it felt as if my lungs would explode. Okay so it wasn't that bad, it just felt that bad. That said Sabertooth might actually the kinder of two bothers, he'd only rip my throat out. Wolverine seemed to be trying to find out at what point my legs would drop off and I'd bleed to death on the floor of the Danger Room.

In reality, Wolverine wasn't just some evil gym teacher, he was going to train to me so that in the future I could stay alive, and he did this because he wanted us to stay among the living. That really mattered to him and that was why he pushed us and would keep doing so. Also, it had struck me that if the teachers were planning to find out if there was more to my powers, then Wolverine might be pushing me hard to see if some other aspect of my powers would manifest when I under stress.

Once I'd gotten past that level of training I'd be able to learn about different weapons, including modern firearms, as well learn more hand to hand combat. Weapons and hand to hand were very important to me since my powers were defensive in nature and only any use on mutants, at least as far as I knew.

While waiting I watched the end of a more advanced class. This one involved the more experienced students who were taking on a holographic Sentinal. Due to my recent encounter with one of those deadly machines I'd started reading all I could find on them.

Designed for hunting, these machines had all kinds of concealed weapons in their bodies. Their most common attack is firing laser beams from their arms or chests. They can also fire devastating missiles from their chests or shoulders. They were more like tanks on legs than the law enforcement robots that kept the mutant menace at bay, as they were described by the news stations.

Being robots, the Sentinels don't have the same physical limitations as organic beings do, and as such, they have no need for nourishment, sleep or rest, though they must require some kind of fuel as would any normal vehicle to keep their engines active or they maybe they just ran on electricity thanks to some batteries the designs were classified. Alas while I could power down mutants in some sense it didn't work with machines. I'd tried with a TV to see if I could switch it off with my powers, they didn't work that way.

Even with the classified plans, the mutants here knew some about how the robots worked. Such as the brain-like program the Sentinels have is specially designed to detect and attack those that have mutant life signs. As a special contingency against them, the Sentinels are equipped with a specially-designed, jelly-like imprisonment substance that can be fired from their left arms and surround a man-sized mutant inside with no chance of escaping. When the jelly solidifies, the mutant is placed in a state of suspended animation.

Despite their resistance towards damage, the Sentinels can be destroyed by very powerful opponents or one with powers that can affect machines. One of the people who had some experience in this was X-23 the lab-grown daughter of Wolverine, who was the only girl I'd met so far that paid me no attention. That hardly surprised or offended me as while I could cancel out the girl's healing factor that wouldn't mean anything to her as if I was that close she could just stab me with her bone claws.

"I wouldn't let Wolverine catch you looking at Laura like that" advised the mutant operating the machines here.

Laura was attractive and a fierce fighter, but I doubted she was my type, I liked my girls a little more submissive and of this version of X-23 was anything like her father than she'd eat me alive, or more likely impale me. Still, she was impressive, she had gotten onto the back of the Sentinal and was digging her claws into it, before long she'd be able to get at the machine's more vulnerable innards and shut it down.

"And don't let Rogue see you checking anyone else at" I was warned.

I didn't even know who this guy was and I didn't want this advice. He was some mutant that could make spikes, that was all I knew about him.

"Mind your own business," I said.

After saying that I headed down for my training session.

Chapter 3

Danger Room. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

"Okay, so far I've discovered that Nightcrawler can't teleport me or teleport at all if he is in physical contact with me," I said as I jotted down the information in a notebook "Cyclops can destroy my clothes, but his beams don't do anything to my body".

This was important stuff for me to know because once I understood the limits of my powers I'd be able to better know if they grew stronger or changed in some way. I was training my brain, and it would take time for that to have an effect, but if it didn't start making a difference before too long I'd stop bothering so that I could devote myself more to gaining combat skills via training.

So far my powers didn't make much sense as my ability to nullify mutant powers didn't seem to make total sense to me, and that made me wonder if I'd been right before and the nullification was just the tip of the iceberg and I could in fact so much more. Something I could not control and wasn't stable. Hopefully, that would change in time.

"How is that useful?" wondered X-23.

It might not seem like much, but it couldn't matter in a fight.

"If nothing else you can use me as a human shield if Scott ever goes on a rampage or if Jean decided to give people telekinetic wedgies then I'll be safe" I offered as answeres "Plus it's funny when Kitty tries running through me on the way to class and ends up falling on her butt".

By now this had happened more than once. At some point, I'd have to conclude that she was either stupid or like bumping into me.

"Telepaths can't read my mind so I can keep information secret from them," I said, thinking of more uses for my mutant power "Teleporters can't abduct me. Rogue can touch people as long as I'm in contact with her, and that makes everyone safer".

Also, it made threesome's an option, but mostly she was happy to be able to give people hugs with no fear of knocking anyone out.

"So what happens if you're touching me?" asked Laura.

I gave it some thought.

"You're healing factor would stop" I guessed

She decided that she wanted to try this out so I took hold of her arm.

"It's like tingly," said Kitty "Or it at least it is for me".

Before long I let go of the girl's arm.

"Tingly" she commented.

I wondered if that sensation had something to do with Kitty and Rogue paid me so much attention.

"At least you don't steal anyone's powers when you touch them" Rogue was now saying "or knock them out".

Despite the fact that she can now touch people when I'm touching her she isn't happy about her powers.

"I'm sure that I'll figure out how to turn them off" I assured her.

Messing with another mutant's powers is a big taboo here, I only nullify them if they are used on me or when I'm in contact with my body so no one other than Nightcrawler worries about getting near me. Not being able to teleport freaked him out. Maybe he worries that I'll grab him and hurt him when he can't get away from me.

My thoughts about Kurt, as fleeting as they normally were, vanished totally when I saw that Wolverine was ready to begin to days lesson on the basics of firearms, and it was a bit of a surprise when he asked me to step forward as a part of a demonstration, even more so when he shot me in the leg and nothing bad happened.

Bedroom. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

I had no idea why Professor X was allowing Emma Frost aka the White Queen to teach at his school, as she was not a big fan of his, but this version of her was no friend to the Brotherhood either as she'd told me that "Erik is a violent fanatic and Charles a pacifistic idealist, and I'm sure they'd tell you that I am a manipulative bitch, without using those precise words" but it was good for me that she was here as it had scored me an invite to the Hellfire club. I knew that in the comics the Hellfire Club often comes into confrontation with the mutant superhero team, the X-Men.

Back in my world, the Hellfire Club was a name for several exclusive clubs for high society rakes established in Britain and Ireland in the 18th century. But according to what Emma Forst had just told me in this world they were much, much more than that. Although the Club appears to merely be an international social club for wealthy elites, its clandestine Inner Circle sought to influence world events, in accordance with their own agenda. Of course, there were plenty of other groups who did that sort of thing.

The Hellfire Club counts among its members the most famous, wealthy, and influential members of society. Membership is passed on to descendants, and can also be earned through wealth or influence. While many accept the invitation simply for the pleasures that the Club offers, others seek such things as wealth and influence.

This makes sense since the purpose of the Hellfire Club is to obtain and exert power through politics and economic influence instead of outward conquest and domination. Since its foundation, the Hellfire Club has been involved in wars and assassinations to further the agendas of the Club's most powerful members.

The Club has branches in New York City, London, Hong Kong, and Paris, and I'd been given a guest pass to the club in New York. An enticement that Miss Frost had just given to me after a session that involved her trying to figure out what else I could do with my psychic powers. Something else I wished to know about.

Clearly, the White Queen must see some sort of potential in my powers if she was showing this much attention to me. I just had no idea if my potential, if I had any, would manifest in any useful way. I might be a very powerful psychic like the Professor or Jean Grey, or nullifying mutant powers and stopping the odd bullet might be the extent of my bag of tricks. Not that this couldn't have its uses to the Hellfire Club and it seemed very likely that I had more to offer than what had been seen so far.

Becoming a member of the Hellfire Club could open up possibilities for me. I didn't fancy becoming an X-Man so it would be good to have more options.

"Hey, Darlin," said a familiar voice.

I really ought to get a lock for my bedroom door.

"Did I just see Miss Frosty the Bitch leave your room?" Rogue asked.

I could hear jealously in her tone. It wasn't at all hidden, and given that I'd been shot recently you'd think she'd be more focused on that if she cared much about me.

"Yes, you did," I told her.

I hadn't intended to say more, but here I was lying on my bed getting stared at by an upset female mutant. If nothing else I found it distracting. It's hard to think about your future when there's an unhappy woman nearby.

"She was here for a tutoring session" I explained to Rogue "She's trying to help me unlock my hidden power".

This information seemed to somewhat appease the upset girl.

"Do you know much about Emma Frost?" I asked.

Rogue came over to lie next to me on the bed

"I know she used to run The Massachusetts Academy before she came here" was all Rogue could tell me "And I don't like her".

If I recalled my comic book lore correctly the Massachusetts Academy also had a long-standing alliance with the Hellfire Club. In addition to a large student body, the Academy also houses a clandestine school for young mutants. But I'd always been a DC fan so outside of the movies my knowledge of the Marvel universe was rather limited. But I had picked up some comic knowledge from reading fanfics and stuff like that as well as picking up a comic or two that gave details about one of Wolverines many adventures.

"Let me help you forget all about that evil old witch," offered Rogue as she came in for a hug "Tell me what to do and I'll do it for you".

I laughed upon hearing that.

"Why do woman say stuff like that?" I wondered "They never mean it".

Rogue looked at me and I could tell that she was offended.

"I do mean it, sugah," she insisted.

This was something to test. I did consider telling her to go make me a sandwich but then I had a better idea.

"Strip for me" I ordered.

She didn't leap into action, but she did as I commanded, and that made me wonder how much control over her I actually had. I knew she desired me and would start to feel bad if I didn't let her get close to me, but that didn't mean she was a puppet for me to control. Not that I thought about this for long as Rogue began to strip as I watched, removing her mesh top and what was underneath it to show me the dark green lacy bra that she was wearing. Then she removed almost everything covering her lower half so that I could see her matching panties.

"Someone's up" commented the mutant.

She'd noticed my erection.

"Is this enough?" she asked, "can I come back for some more holding?".

To tease her I pretended to think about it, but only until she started pouting again, and I decided not to push her into going nude.

"You did good, Rogue" I praised her "I'm proud of you".

She wasn't offended by that if anything she was pleased by my words.

"Aww thank you, sugah," Rogue replied in her sultry Southern accent.

With that, she got back on to the bed and snuggled up into me, but she kept one hand free so that she could play with my d.i.c.k.

"Want to me suck ya off?" she asked.

I nodded and she moved away enough to get her head down to where my c.o.c.k was busy pointing up into the air. She didn't waste any time, putting her mouth to use in a way that met with my approval. Just as she started Kitty AKA Shadowcat phased into my room, she cried out in surprise and then turned around, going back the way she came in.

"Was that Kitty? asked Rogue.

I confirmed this and Rogue shrugged before getting back to the task at hand. Then it became the task at the mouth.

Office. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

"Thank you for coming everyone," the Professor said to the group.

It was possible for Xavier's older students to get a sense of their mentor's mood just by entering the room he was in. So Scott Summers and Jean Grey knew right away that something worried the professor. What had made this easier was the concerned looks on Storm's face and even Logan seemed more agitated than normal.

"What is it?" asked Scott "Is someone in trouble?".

That would explain the tension in the room.

"Not exactly, Scott" replied Xavier "But that could soon change".

Before the conversation went any further everyone other than Wolverine took a seat.

"Have any of you ever heard the term Pathifery?" the professor asked.

None of them had.

"That's to be expected it," said Xavier "To put it simply a mutant with the power of Pathifery could manipulate reality itself. Not through conscious thoughts or any kind of action, but through their base feelings and emotions. A mutant with this ability could cause reality to be altered based on their feelings, by simply wanting something to happen badly enough. I believe there is a chance that Zero has this power".

Scott and Jean looked at each other for a moment, exchanging worried looks.

"Now an uncontrolled version of this power is dangerous enough depending on its strength, but should Zero learn to control his power he would be able to create, shape and manipulate reality around him just by thinking about it. Depending on his level of power he might even be able to alter the laws that govern our universe".

That sort of power was a threat to the whole world, not just the people living on it, but existence itself.

"Can the kid become that strong?" Logan asked, "I mean ending all life on the planet kind of strong".

Xavier wasn't sure, but he doubted.

"Not likely, the sheer amount of energy required for something on that scale would be far more than any human could handle, mutant or not, and as far as we can tell he's biologically normal," said the man in the wheelchair "I suspect that this power will never expand to more than a few meters beyond his body. Right now it only affects himself and anyone who comes into physical contact with him, however, given time and training his range will expand".

There was much more to speak about.

"At first it did seem as if Zero was only able to nullify mutant powers so that they couldn't affect him," said Xavier "A defensive ability. Then I began to study the data you gathered from the tests you ran on Zero and it shows far more activity in the amygdala region than I would expect".

The Professor knew that he would have to give them more information.

"As I'm sure you all know the brain is a very complex organ. It controls and coordinates everything from the movement of your fingers as you type to the beating of your heart. The brain also plays a crucial role in how you control and process your emotions" he was now saying "Experts still have a lot of questions about the brain's role when it comes to handling the range of human emotions, but they've pinpointed the origins of some common ones, including fear, anger, and happiness".

He wasn't done yet.

"The amygdala helps coordinate responses to things in your environment" the bald man went on to explain "especially those that trigger an emotional response. This structure plays an important role in fear and anger".

Xavier used a screen to display some of the information that he'd been looking over, including scans of Zero's brain.

"Now look at the activity in the Hypothalamus," he said while showing the data "Which in addition to controlling emotional responses, is also involved in s.e.x.u.a.l responses, and hormone release. From a biological standpoint, fear is a very important emotion. It helps you respond appropriately to threatening situations that could harm you. This response is generated by stimulation of the amygdala, followed by the hypothalamus. When the amygdala stimulates the hypothalamus, it initiates the fight-or-flight response. The hypothalamus sends signals to the adrenal glands to produce hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol".

Jean realised something.

"Most mutants learn they are mutants when under stress and their powers are triggered" informed the redhead "At times when those hormones are released into the bloodstream in larger than normal amounts".

Xavier smiled as he was proud of his students.

"That's correct Jean" he praised "In Zero's case his sudden relocation from New York, which must somehow be connected to the records we know must be false, and the attack of a Sentinal would trigger an intense fear response. Zero at this point would have unknowingly altered himself psychically, changing his reality, so that mutant powers can't harm him. The desire to survive is a powerful drive for us humans".

Scott was puzzled.

"I don't pretend to understand hormones and the human mind, Professor," said Cycoplos "But why did he make himself immune to mutant powers when it was a Sentinal going after him? We were there to help".

Xavier thought this to be a good question.

"Because the parts of the brain I talked about earlier have to do with emotional responses, not rational thinking," said the headmaster of this college "Sentinals hunt mutants so on some level he may have seen the presence of the mutants as the source of danger, and the event was stressful, you did grab Zero and bring him here against his will even if it was for his own good. Which he understands logically, but feelings don't always make sense. Don't take it personally".

Jean had something more to say.

"If his powers are based on feelings rather than thought is that why you had Logon shoot Zero?" she asked.

She had not been amused to hear about that.

"Yes, Jean" answered Charles "the bullet was a plastic one, and fired in such a way that it would leave a nasty bruise, but do no real harm, and as I expected it never touched him, or to be more accurate it touched him but did no damage. I suspect that he nullified the bullet's kinetic energy".

This confused the mutant with telekinetic powers.

"I jabbed him with quite a few needles when he arrived" she mentioned, "How can I have done that if bullets don't hurt him, and I know he doesn't like needles".

Xavier had already thought about this.

"His powers had only just manifested," said the telepathic man "Altering reality, even just for himself, would take a lot of energy so he may have been too drained at the time, or perhaps he wasn't afraid enough for his powers to act to defend him. You're not exactly threatening Jean. Most people enjoy having you around, and he would have calmed down by then".

Well, some of the young girls were a little resentful of Jean presence, for reasons Xavier didn't share no matter how often he picked them up, but they wouldn't fear her.

"Being able to defend himself from threats with his powers does not mean he is altering reality" Storm pointed out "and even if he does then he is only changing himself. Is that such a concern?".

Xavier thought it was. Although it wasn't as potential world-shattering as some might think.

"My thinking behind his goes back a few days to when I first detected Zero," he told everyone "New York City isn't as far from here as it might seem, not with Cerebro, and I detected our new friend before the Sentinel appeared, and that could only have happened if he was using his powers before then. His sudden appearance in an unfamiliar place might have created an outburst of mutant power that I was able to detect and draw the attention of a Sentinal, I wonder what about his reality he altered?".

This made sense as well the jet wouldn't have had to travel far to reach Zero they had gotten not long after the Sentinel appeared.

"The second spike in the readings would have happened when the attack started" the Professor was now saying "But there were no odd readings before I detected Zero so I don't think a mutant placed him the park, or if they, then they did very carefully".

That was another mystery.

"Logan tell them what you told me" Xaiver requested.

Wolverine grunted before doing as he'd been asked to do.

"The kid's been in the Danger Room a lot," said the gruff man "Since he got attacked by a big robot that wanted to drag him off God only knows where I don't blame him, and he's coming along nicely. The thing is he's improving too quickly. I can't be sure because he hasn't been here for long, but people don't shape up that fast. Its nothing superhuman, he smells normal enough for a human, and if keeps going at this rate he's going to be one of better hand to hand fighters we've got".

Jean was now wondering something else.

"Are his powers like mine?" she question "I mean do they require some sort of effort or are they like Rogue's in that he can't turn it off?".

Another good question and Xavier tried to think of a way to answer that.

"I suspect that the alternations to reality don't require effort to maintain. I believe that once he has altered reality for himself that it will remain altered. I've never been able to enter his mind even when he is sleeping and I'm sure Emma has tried to as well".

Xavier rubbed his chin as he did some thinking.

"I admit that this is all speculation at the moment" he confessed to the group "So, for now, I just want you to keep an eye on Zero and see if anything unexpected happens".

Scott was still at the worrying stage.

"Professor if Zero does learn to control his powers how dangerous could he be?" the man in the shades wished to know.

It was Wolverine who answered.

"He'd be able to kill us just by wanting it," he said.

Xavier was also able to see the danger.

"To begin with range will be a factor, and he could tire quickly by using his powers too much, but in theory, a full reality warper would only be limited by their desire and imagination," said the telepathic man "he could boil your blood, remove the air from your lungs, crush your heart, turn the very ground you walk on into acid. The possibilities are almost endless".

Scott was now very worried.

"Professor, how can we let someone that powerful out into the world?" Summers demanded to know.

Xavier wasn't as concerned as his student.

"All of us have power, Scott" he reminded "You are quite capable of destroying entire buildings full of people, yet you wouldn't because you understand that it would wrong. My intention is to educate young Zero so that he can learn to use his powers in a constructive way to protect himself and the people he cares about. Just as you do. His powers seem to be defensive in any case, and that means the best defence against Zero's powers is not to threaten him".

Scott wasn't soothed, he didn't simply assume that Zero would do anything wrong as he tended to think the best of people, he was simply concerned that the new mutant might do harm to the people around him without meaning to.

"But what if doesn't?" Jean asked, "How do we defeat someone who can alter the reality around them".

Xavier had also thought of this.

"Ranged attacks that don't involve using your powers directly would be best" advised Charles "His powers will tire him out long before using yours would simply due to the amount of energy involved, and he's not immune to physical attacks, although they will become less effective as he masters his powers".

"Or you take him by surprise," advised Wolverine "Can't stop an attack you don't see coming".

While there were valid reasons to be concerned there were also positive possibilities to be made from this.

"For every possible danger that Zero could bring about, there is an equal chance that he could be a great force for good," Xavier told everyone "A man who can nullify energy and mutant powers could remove many threats to mankind without hurting or killing anyone. In theory, he could do anything within his range. Treat injuries, cure diseases, turn a bomb in a cake, a gun into a banana. If we handle this right Zero may become a great hero".

Ororo now had a question.

"Charles if Zero does indeed alters reality due to his feelings, and fear causes him to alter himself to survive, what of anger?" she asked, "He might lash out if he feels strongly enough, hurting someone through no fault of his own since he can not control this power".

Another valid concern.

"This why I have taken the risk of asking Emma to tutor him as she understands the need for control. While I will also attempt to guide Zero" Xavier replied "If he can learn to control himself he will learn to control his power. Just as you all had to".

This did address some of the concerns the others felt.

"I'm still gonna keep a close eye on the kid" stated Logon "And on Frost".

Emma's presence here was a cause of some strife.

"I have my reason for having Emma here, and two of those reasons, former students of hers who attended the academy will be arriving soon," said the man in the wheelchair "The two young ladies are both willing to join the X-Men after some training and time spent getting to know their teammates. This will be good as we can be sure that the Brotherhood is also looking for new members".

Bedroom. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

While it had been a long time since a girl had wanted me to over to her place so she could study with me, actually I was fairly certain that no girl had ever wanted to do that, I did know that it was considered an excuse made by a girl because they didn't want to admit that they really wanted you to come over and fool around. In this case, Kitty seemed to want to study, but I wasn't buying. When she did get bored she decided that we should chat. However, since I was male I lacked the ability to talk simply for the sake of talking.

"Well? What do you wanna talk about?" I asked.

She didn't say anything. Using some time to think.

"Hmm, I really don't know" she replied.

The brunette young lady gave me a sweet smile and played with some strands of her hair with her index finger. Even I knew that she was flirting with me. You didn't need to be a telepath to figure that out.

"I know! How's your relationship with Rogue going?" she asked.

Truth be told I was a caught off guard by her question. One of the things I did know about girls who might like you is that they don't want to hear about how much you like a girl who isn't them, so they would only ask that sort of question if they wanted to hear that it wasn't going well. Then they could be all sympathetic while inwardly feeling very happy about the news. Since Kitty seemed like a nice girl I figured she'd feel bad about asking later.

"Fine," I said, "We're keeping things causal".

Kitty bit her lower lip as she gave me a seductive look.

"Zero am I pretty?" she asked.

Kind of a dumb question. She was done right adorable.

"Yes Kitty Cat, you are pretty" I assured her.

She grinned at me some more.

"Kitty Cat?" she asked.

This time I smiled.

"It's my pet name for you." I told her "You know because of how you're a cat".

When a girl threats your terrible joke as something highly amusing you know she has feelings for you, or that she's totally nuts, possibly both.

"So you really think I'm pretty" she was now saying "Would you ask me on a date if were single?".

Like I didn't know where this was going.

"I'm only causal with Rouge so I guess..."

Before I could finish saying that line, Kitty came in for a kiss. The sensible part of me knew that I should probably pull away. Rogue might have said that we were casual, but that didn't mean she'd accept me making out with her best friend in the room what they shared. But there was another part of me, that was urging me on. It wanted me to tap the hottie.

Kitty was the one to pull away from the kiss though. She wiped my lips with her thumb and gave me a look that could mean something important I just didn't care. I leaned forward and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and slid onto my lap so that she could straddle me as I sat up in bed.

Before long my hands found their way to her waist and then they slowly glided up her back. Kitty m.o.a.ned and moved her h.i.p.s, something that me it clear to both of us how turned on I'd become. I was sort of cheating on my sort-of girlfriend, but I just didn't care.

Kitty moved down so that she sitting on my legs, but she was so light that I barely felt her presence and then she reached over to get something out of a draw. Some sort of oil by the looks of things, I didn't know for sure until after she got my c.o.c.k out and began to oil up her hands.

"You are….it's so big…" she whispered.

Kitty poured out some more of the oil on to her hands. Then tossing the bottle aside she grasped my firm member with both hands and started lathering it.

"I just want to make you c.u.m," she said, "Just relax and c.u.m whenever you want to".

While not really listening to her I reached out to take hold of her h.i.p.s.

"Unbutton my top for me" she requested "I don't want to get oil on it".

I did that and while I would have liked to have removed her bra that was under the pink top that she wore, she nudged me back and told me to relax. So I closed my eyes and let her get on with the handjob. I felt certain that she was more nervous than she appeared and didn't want to expose her small tits to me as they didn't compare to Rogue in size. Hence her need to do something she could control. I normally directed the action, but I didn't want to push things.

"Like, I just love how big you are," Kitty stated while jacking me off, "Rogue bragged about it. A little bit".

She didn't speak after that she just focused on playing with my man parts. It took her a while to start doing it effectively as her grip was too weak, but she ended up getting the hang of what she was going and didn't mind speeding up when I asked her to. What felt best were how soft her small hands were, and how big they made my c.o.c.k look as she wanked me off.

I warned her when I was about to c.u.m and she giggled in a super adorable way when my baby batter exited and ended up all over her hands. Kitty lapped up the c.u.m that had coated her hands and as she did she shuddered in pleasure.

"Thanks, Zero," she then said, "That was great".

I thought I was supposed to be the grateful one.
