Chapter 20
Ororo stood outside of the bar in Alberta Canada where Wolverine was currently located. Wolverine had taken a trip north and Ororo had volunteered to keep an eye on him. As she stood in the snow she was grateful for the enchanted coat her boyfriend had provided her. The coat saved her the trouble of tapping into her own powers to warm herself. Ororo remembered a part of her distant past upon spotting a red Mugmoni motorcycle. It was while riding a similar bike that Ororo had been engaged in a deadly incident with a former friend Yuri that had ended with Yuri dead.
"Wanna go for a ride, darlin'?" Chuck, the owner of the Mugmoni, asked from the bar's doorway.
"No thanks," Ororo said. "I was just checking out your bike. It brings back a lot of memories."
"Do you ride?" Chuck queried.
"I mostly fly these days. Excuse me. I need to deal with this," Ororo said as they both heard the sound of an animalistic roar from within and fighting going on.
Ororo entered the bar and observed silently as Logan a blonde man up by the scruff of the blonde's shirt.
"I can smell his blood all over you, Fred. Tell me which of these animals helped you kill that kid last night or I'll cut your fucking head off and mount it on the wall," Logan threatened.
"Kid?" Fred demanded in confusion. "We shot a sasquatch!" "He was a sixteen year old mutant boy," Logan replied.
"Then we only put him out of his misery. We'll do the same to you if you don't drop Fred and leave peacefully, mutie lover," Fred's friend Ralph warned while pointing a rifle at the back of Logan's head.
Ororo drew a small weapon that looked like a hand-gun out of the coat Harry had gifted her. She flicked the selector switch on her weapon's side to a particular setting and aimed the runic gun at Ralph. Ororo pulled the trigger. A tiny wooden sphere flew out of the gun propelled by arcane energy. The sphere was carved with several runes and charged with arcane energy. The weapon was powered by an arcane battery which could store low level amounts of magical power. As soon as Ralph was hit Ororo shifted her aim to the next target. The sight on the weapon was enchanted to correct the weapon's aim for whomever Ororo intended to shoot as long as she put a little effort of will into aiming. Within ten seconds of her first shot everyone but Logan had been shot.
The enchantments on the spheres caused everyone to immediately lose consciousness and disappear via the
331
portkey effect. Ororo calmly returned her gun to her duster and retrieved her phone. She sent her lover a text giving him a situation report. Harry would telepathically interrogate the bar patrons and owner. Once Harry determined who had been involved in killing the mutant teen Harry would most likely send the perpetrators to a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison. The non-guilty would have their memories modified and they would be returned to their lives unharmed.
"Did you just vaporize everyone?" Logan asked. "And what are you doing up here?"
"No. I sent them to Harry. He'll sort out the guilty party. We need to leave. The cops have been alerted to the fight by a biker that was outside," Ororo explained.
Logan followed Ororo out and watched as Ororo drew something from her pocket and pressed it to the door of a hunter's truck. From the smell Logan could tell the truck belonged to the murderer Fred.
"You didn't explain why you were here. And those are some goodies Harry has given you," Logan commented as he got in the passenger side.
The runic unlocker Ororo had just used opened any lock for her. She put a second device over the ignition switch and the truck roared to life.
"Harry knows you are up here searching for a clue to your wife that ring Fury gave you suggests you had. We thought you may need some backup," Ororo explained. "Shit," Ororo swore as she slammed on the brakes.
A dark haired female had jumped into the road in front of the truck and extended some type of long clawed finger mutation longer than swords. It was too late. The truck drove right into the mutant dressed in red. The truck was sliced in half lengthwise with the sound of metal tearing. Ororo had never loved her boyfriend as much as she did right then as the enchantments on her coat protected her along with the durability she gained from parting of his manly potion daily. Ororo climbed out of the wreckage and recognized the mutant in red as her old friend Yuri. Ororo had thought Yuri dead.
"Long time no see," Yuri said. "Yuri," Ororo said in a whisper. "I had heard that you slipped into a coma and died."
"Yuri is dead, Ororo. I am Deathstrike," Yuri rebutted. "I have been given orders to kill you for what you did to Colonel Wraith."
"Lady, Ororo didn't kill Wraith," Logan said after climbing out the wreckage. "Not by herself. But she was heavily involved," Yuri rebutted. Everyone there knew at that moment that Wraith was just an excuse. Yuri had a grudge against Ororo. "Enough talking," Logan said as he leapt at Yuri. Adamantium clashes against Adamantium. Ororo drew her runic gun and focused on Yuri. "Logan, don't kill her," Ororo shouted even as Logan slashed open Yuri's stomach. "It's a bit late for concern, Ororo," Yuri said. "But thanks to a little gene splicing I heal twice as fast as that
332
animal."
Ororo pulled the trigger several times and Yuri stumbled. Yuri appeared to be close to passing out but then she screamed defiance. A clawed Adamantium fingered elongated and smacked the runic gun away from Ororo. Deathstrike had been intending to cut the weapon in half but the enchantments protected it. Another claw shot out from her right hand and surged into Logan's chest.
"Logan," Ororo shouted in alarm.
"I have a healing factor, remember? Whatever tranquilizer that has won't work on me. As for your little friend...his xiphoid still hadn't ossified when Adamantium was bonded to his skeleton. It's the only fragile bone in his entire body. And if I break it just right his whole nervous system shuts down," Yuri explained.
"Where are you getting your intel?" Ororo questioned while focusing her mind on the panic rune set into her coat.
"A man named Cornelius," Yuri replied. A lightning bolt stuck a nearby tree. "Your aim must be going in your old age, Ororo."
Ororo didn't respond to tip Yuri off. The tree struck by lightning fell and came down on Yuri. Then an attack helicopter was flying in and opening fire on Ororo and Logan. But at that moment Harry arrived summoned by Ororo. A force-field shield formed in front of the trio.
"Didn't we kill Dr. Cornelius?" Harry asked Ororo.
"I think he enhanced himself with mutant powers before his chopper went down that first time," Ororo suggested.
"Hmm...I don't think I want a man with his talents and lack of ethics in the hands of even S.H.I.E.L.D.," Harry mused.
"I'll make sure the job is done this time," Logan volunteered. "Just get me up there."
Harry nodded and grabbed Logan. Harry leapt into the air aiming towards the chopper. Harry tossed Logan into the open chopper before falling back to the ground. Harry turned back to Ororo to see a woman with prehensile Adamantium claws wrapping those claws around Ororo's neck. Harry was moving towards the pair of fighting women but before he got there a bolt of lightning came down and struck them both. Yuri was lying to the side extra crispy. Ororo was lying there looking pretty pained.
Harry ran to Ororo and sat down pulling her into his lap. He immediately cast a pain numbing charm. "I could have helped," Harry pointed out.
"I wanted to do it myself," Ororo explained. "Besides...you did. If I hadn't had the enhancements all of your ladies had I think I would have been dead by now. Though, I might still need some healing. I'm feeling a little extra crispy. How is Yuri?"
"Pretty toasty but she will heal. What do you want done with her?" Harry asked.
"Put her in prison. I'd like her to be eventually rehabilitated. We go way back. I'll tell you about it later," Ororo said while Logan walked up.
333
Harry nodded and helped Ororo up before going about cleaning up the situation.
Chicago, Illinois... Harry and Jean materialized in Chicago to a scene of destruction. Harry had them under cloak.
"What happened here?" Jean sent to her lover as she surveyed all the corpses. "All you said was there was an incident involving Scott's brother Alex."
Alex Summers A.K.A. Havoc was currently cradling a beautiful green haired young woman with tears in his eyes.
"That young woman is Alex's ex-girlfriend Lorna Dane A.K.A. Polaris," Harry explained. "Everyone here thinks she just lost control of her powers and killed all of these men. She's a magneto-kinetic."
"You said they think she killed everyone. What really happened?" Jean asked. "This scene is from three days ago," Harry explained as he projected a hologram Lily had pulled from
security cameras overlooking the scene Harry and Jean were standing before.
Only the couple could see the hologram which showed two people, a man and a woman, putting some type of advanced looking technology down a manhole beneath where Havoc currently held Lorna.
"That is Mystique. I can tell by her eyes. Judging by the tech level of that equipment...is that the Brotherhood's tech guy Forge?" Jean asked.
"Very good," Harry confirmed. "So are we going to revive all of these people?" Jean asked her tone mixed with both excitement and a little
trepidation.
That was a lot of people. As Jean and Harry watched Emma Frost arrived at the scene. Emma was the head of the school known as The Academy of Tomorrow which Alex and Lorna attended with other gifted students. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents showed up at about the same time.
"Yes. But we'll do it in private and keep the public thinking they are all dead for the time being. I want to uncover this plot and let it play out first. We can use my mass revival tech for this," Harry said.
As far as the public was concerned the only way Harry could revive people from the dead was through the healing power of his seed. That wasn't true. He had technology capable of it but he wanted to keep that a secret. Harry began walking around and conjuring replacement corpses which he switched with the real corpses. The real corpses were teleported away to be revived.
"I'll follow Lorna and monitor her. They are going to keep her sedated until she is in Magneto's cell," Jean said while invisibly following the S.H.I.E.L.D. transport carrying Lorna to the Triskelion.
"I'll be along shortly. I want to bring Magnestar in on this situation," Harry sent.
334
Harry teleported in the mutant known as Magnestar. Magnestar was the name the Magneto from the zombie world had taken in order to distance himself from the Magneto of this world. After the change of heart Magnestar had experienced post-zombie-apocalypse Magnestar was much more willing to help out humans from time to time. Magnestar wore a completely different outfit. He was also significantly younger in body. Harry had de-aged this Magnestar.
Erik looked around at the scene of destruction before turning his attention to Harry and asking, "Was a magnetically powered mutant involved?"
"Yes," Harry confirmed. "I think this is a plot to free Magneto. I'll explain on the way to Polaris." The two invisible men took to the air and flew off in the direction Jean had gone.
The Triskelion, Magneto's Cell...
Lorna awoke more than four hours after she had been rendered unconscious by her ex-boyfriend. Lorna sat up and looked around. She found herself looking at the mutant terrorist known as Magneto, the world's most famous superhero Spider-Man, and one of his girlfriends Jean Grey.
"This can't be good," Lorna said as she climbed to her feet. "What is going on?" Lorna noticed that Magneto appeared to be frozen. "Hello Lorna," Harry greeted warmly. "Do you know who we are?" "Yes," Lorna assured. "But why are you here? It can't be to help me because I killed all of those people." "You did not kill all of those people," Jean quickly assured.
"He ordered them killed," Harry added while pointing at the frozen Magneto.
"What? Why?" Lorna asked.
"To get you in here my dear," Erik said as he became visible when Harry dropped the cloak.
"Are you Magnestar?" Lorna questioned after getting over the surprise at another man appearing.
"Yes. You are well informed," Erik replied.
"I make it a point of knowing what other beings are out there with abilities similar to my own," Lorna explained. "So this entire plot was to get me in here with him. Why?"
"I just finished informing Emma Frost that Director Fury placed you in Magneto's cell because of the nature of your abilities. Your ex-boyfriend had one of his genius classmates tap into Emma's communications network and they overheard the information. Since then Alex is organizing a rescue. If he succeeds in breaking you out he will likely free Magneto. Either way he would provide a distraction for Magneto's people to break him out," Harry explained.
"Alex is an idiot but he is strong. But I doubt he is strong enough. I doubt he'll get through the Ultimates,"
335
Lorna pointed out. "He doesn't need to get through, just distract," Jean replied. "Ok...what are you here for?" Lorna asked.
"We want to let Magneto escape. Magneto's shape-shifting agent Mystique is involved. We think she is going to swap places with Magneto to hide the fact Magneto escaped from Director Fury and the public. A mutant named Forge has helped develop technology that mimics your abilities. That is how those men were killed. You didn't kill them. Forge will allow Mystique to fully mimic Magneto," Harry explained.
"You want to ferret out more of Magneto's network and his ultimate plan," Lorna surmised.
"Yes," Magnestar confirmed. "I'll be following him prepared to step in and put him down if things get too dangerous. I have all the skill and power I gained as I grew older with a younger body to take the stress better."
"So you want me to play along. I can do that. But what about clearing my name? Everyone still thinks I killed all of those people," Lorna replied.
"I'll be having a word with Nick about this situation after Magneto has made good on his escape. Trust me when I say I carry a lot of weight with the management of this place," Harry answered.
"Fair enough," Lorna agreed. "Ok...let's do this."
"We'll be here if you need us though we'll be invisible. If you think towards either Harry or myself we can pick up your projected thoughts telepathically," Jean said.
"Understood," Lorna agreed even as her three visitors turned invisible again.
Harry and Jean allowed the thoughts of Magneto and those watching to unfreeze and everyone started moving again. Lorna after appearing to resist ended up learning chess from Magneto.
Harry, Jean, Ice-Man, and Colossus materialized across the water-front from the Triskelion. The rest of the X-Men were confronting Scott's brother Alex and the rest of the team from the Academy at a point earlier in the Academy team's route. Harry's group was meant to be a second line of defense. In truth Harry wanted to see how much more prepared the members of the X-Men were thanks to his input. He was keeping an eye on Team 1 using the bio-nets within Ororo and Kitty who were in Team 1 along with various cloaked probes he had hovering around Team 1. Harry observed the brief battle between Team 1 and the Academy team.
Ororo's mental report to her two telepathic teammates summarized the incident succinctly, "We shut down the Academy team quickly but their speedster picked up Alex Summers and fled on towards the Triskelion."
"I think Scott intentionally took a fall," Jean noted. "I agree. It would appear Scott wants Lorna rescued," Harry added. "Though, given her innocence I
agree." "What do you want us to do now?" Storm asked. "We could teleport to your location."
336
"No. You've done your part. Return to the Institute. Jean and I have this covered," Harry directed. Ororo gave the mental equivalent of a nod. At that moment the rest of the Ultimates arrived on site. Pietro,
Wanda, Steve, Tony, Natasha, and Janet all materialized via teleporter. "What's the sit-rep Harry?" Steve prompted.
"The X-Men's Team 1 took out all but the Academy team's leader and their speedster. The speedster took off fleeing with Alex Summers before they could be captured," Harry explained.
"This fight seems like a distraction," Natasha said suspiciously. "It is," Harry confirmed surprising quite a few people present. "To what end?" Steve questioned. "To free Magneto," Jean answered.
"That can't be allowed to happen," Tony said while for once being completely serious. "Actually we want it to happen," Harry clarified. "We do?" Colossus took the opportunity to interject. "Yes. I have an asset in play capable of neutralizing Magneto perfectly," Harry explained. "Magnestar?" Natasha questioned. "You hope to ferret out his support network and his final plan." "Yes," Harry confirmed.
"If it was anyone but you I would be worried Magneto would escape. With it being you all I have to say is that this should be interesting," Natasha mused.
"Wait...let me see if I have this right. We're just supposed to play along with Magneto's escape attempt and let one of the world's most dangerous terrorists go free?" Steve demanded.
"Oh Magneto won't be going free, Cap. Just think of it as a stay of execution. I can reverse or outright prevent any deaths he would cause. Trust me. You know I can do what I say," Harry said reassuringly.
Cap was silent as he thought over the situation. "Fury doesn't know?" Steve questioned. "No. Not until the operation is over," Harry replied. "Like Natasha said...if it was anyone but you. But I guess I'm game," Steve finally announced. The other Ultimates were in agreement.
"Hold on a second...I'm getting a call from Emma Frost," Harry requested.
337
Harry relayed the content of the call to Jean, Natasha, and Janet telepathically as he listened.
"Harry, Lorna Dane is innocent. One of my students uncovered footage showing a device being put under the street where the incident occurred," Emma announced excitedly over the phone.
"Emma, we know," Harry replied. "You know?" Emma asked startled.
"Yes. And Lorna knows too. She is now undercover helping us play out a plot Magneto is carrying out. With Lorna's help we are turning this plot back on Magneto. Don't speak of this to anyone. Lorna's name will be cleared," Harry assured.
"I understand. I don't like it but I understand," Emma said.
"We'll keep Lorna safe," Harry assured. "I've gotta go. Goodbye."
"Goodbye," Emma said.
As Harry hung up the phone he detected a sonic boom originating from the Academy's resident speedster Jean-Paul Beaubier A.K.A. Northstar.
"Did anyone hear that?" Steve asked.
At that moment Northstar came zooming in and released a stone he had been carrying at Harry before speeding by Pietro hitting Wanda's brother in the head and knocking Pietro out cold. Northstar had been attempting to take out the opposition's heaviest hitter along with the only opponent that could keep up with him in one go. The attempt was only partially successful. The stone hit Harry with all the force Northstar's momentum had imparted on it. But the stone shattered causing Harry to merely grunt.
"I've got him," Bobby announced while trying to aim at Northstar.
"Bobby, no," Jean commanded with telepathy reinforcing her command. Northstar had been attempting to get Bobby to fire and hit one of their allies. Jean's command had put a stop to that tactic. "Take out his traction...put ice on the ground."
Bobby did as Jean instructed and Northstar went into a slide straight into the side of a building. At that moment Alex Summers came out of the water using his power to blast everyone present. Alex was pouring more energy into his blasts than he had ever attempted in his life. He was rapidly tiring but he kept up the fire until over thirty seconds after he had started he stopped. Bobby was hidden behind an icy barrier. The energy shielding on the suits Harry had designed for Janet and Natasha had stopped the blast though both women looked a bit frazzled from the intensity of the light and sound as their S.H.I.E.L.D.s shrugged off the attack. Jean had withstood the blast using his own telekinesis. A fire-colored aura also surrounded her telekinetic barriers. Harry was unfazed. Tony was laying back against the same wall Northstar was against. Colossus looked rather singed and was down on one knee several yards further back from where he had been standing but he was in fighting form. Steve was also crouching but behind his shield. Wanda had shielded herself and her brother.
"That was impressive but futile. You should surrender," Steve said as he stood.
338
"You cannot hope to win," Wanda added.
"I won't let Lorna suffer with that mad-man," Alex declared.
"She won't be for long," Harry assured. "All is not as it seems."
"What do you mean?" Alex asked, confusion starting to show.
"Think about it Alex...you know Lorna didn't lose control of her powers. So what really happened?" Jean questioned.
This course of events was throwing Alex for a loop. He was thoughtful for some time. Nobody moved. "Are you saying you know Lorna is innocent?" Alex asked. "Hold that thought," Jean spoke up to say. "Warren and Alison are in trouble," she explained.
Jean was in telepathic communication with the reconnaissance team that Warren and Alison were currently working as. It hadn't gone unnoticed that Warren had feelings for Alison but Harry didn't think she returned Warren's feelings so much.
"Her cloaking power was concealing them as they followed Magneto's two minions into the Triskelion," Harry explained for the benefit of the others.
Harry had shown Dazzler how to use her light-manipulation-abilities to create a cloaking field around herself and her surroundings. Alison was currently only able to cloak herself and one other at a stretch. But each day she got better and better at the cloaking field.
"They had a run-in with Ororo's old friend Yuri. Apparently every containment field in every cell within the Triskelion has been shut down," Jean announced.
"Shit," Tony cursed. "Do you have this, Harry? We need to go deal with that." "I've got this. Go," Harry replied. The other Ultimates flew off towards the Triskelion. "Are you going to answer my question?" Alex demanded.
"Yes. We know Lorna is innocent. She's working as an undercover operative for us. Now let's go play out the drama," Jean said.
As she spoke Jean telekinetically picked up the others and floated them beside Harry up to the roof of the Triskelion. The scene the group found when they arrived appeared to be Magneto standing next to Forge. Forge was holding an unconscious Lorna. In fact Lorna was really conscious. Jean set the group down on the roof.
"Well...this is unexpected," Magneto-Mystique said.
Harry could sense Mystique using Magneto's form. Magneto-Mystique was using a miniaturized device Forge had created to mimic Magneto's powers short-range.
339
"Are you going to surrender peacefully or will we have to get rough, Magneto?" Harry asked.
"If you get rough I'm afraid Forge here will have to snap Lorna's supple neck," Magneto-Mystique threatened.
Forge had shifted Lorna into position to carry out the threat.
"I know why I can't sense your mind but Forge isn't wearing a helmet like yours," Jean pointed out.
"I have the same tech miniaturized," Forge explained.
"I'm afraid you will find yourself incapable of snapping Miss Dane's neck, Forge," Harry replied even as Jean finished telekinetically pulling Forge away from Lorna.
Magneto-Mystique was busy watching her minion being disabled. Harry moved fast and surged forward to deliver a powerful punch to Magneto-Mystique's jaw that saw the pretender dropping.
"You sometimes make fights really anti-climactic, Harry," Bobby commented. "Are you alright, Lorna?" Alex asked.
"I'm fine, Alex. While I am touched that you would come after me you do realize you were manipulated quite soundly don't you?" Lorna asked.
"I still don't know what is really going on," Alex admitted. "Neither do I," Northstar admitted. Lorna looked to Harry to see how much she should tell them.
"These two can keep a secret. You can tell them," Harry told Lorna. Turning to Northstar and Havoc, Harry said, "What she reveals is a very important secret. You shouldn't spy on your headmistress. She knows you did it by the way." Turning back to Lorna he handed her a card and said, "Text that number when you want to talk. I feel you have a bright future and I can help you along the way."
"Thank you," Lorna said as she took the card.
Lorna bit her bottom lip nervously before stepping up and kissing Harry on the cheek, very close to his lips. Alex scowled. Harry used his teleportation system to return the three to the Academy. Ice-Man and Colossus were returned home the same way. Jean and Harry went to have a chat with Fury.
Fenris Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada...
"You do take me on some very interesting dates, Harry," Rogue said as she stood next to him in a control center overlooking a secure storage vault containing stacks of cash and one gem in particular. "What is that?"
"That my dear is something the Von Struckers have been studying for a while now. Their notes say it is
340
called the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak. They paid a great deal to acquire this gem. Legend says it will grant the bearer great power," Harry explained. "It is a very ancient gem."
"Do you think there is any truth to the matter?" Rogue asked.
"Let's go find out," Harry suggested while he disabled the security in the vault and led Rogue from the control center into the vault proper. "The research the Von Struckers were doing suggested some interesting reactions to their tests."
As the couple made their way through the massive vault Harry couldn't help but reflect on his relationship with the young woman at his side. When they had first met Rogue had been dealing with serious psychological issues stemming from her time spent as a guest of the Weapon X project. Her issues included a case of Stockholm Syndrome. Harry had gradually worked subtle healing techniques into their dating and he thought that his efforts had produced wonders in Rogue. She was now a more confident and better tempered person. Harry was now helping her deal with the memories she absorbed after touching someone with her abilities.
Rogue smirked when she got close to the gem.
"I have to admit. I like the shape," Rogue suggested teasingly. The gem was a thin cylinder that came to a point. "The length is about right but the thickness doesn't match."
"I swear...after our first time you have become hooked on noticing anything phallic," Harry said with a small grin.
"Yeah...but the only actual penis I'm hooked on is yours, lover," Rogue pointed out before pressing herself against him and leaning up to steal a kiss.
The kiss and conversation made Rogue think back to their first time together.
Flashback
Harry stood pressed against Rogue's back while she rubbed her butt against his erection. Their clothing vanished with no warning and it was her naked butt hugging his shaft. He reached around and played with her pussy.
"Oh Harry...that feels awesome," Rogue moaned out. "Don't stop."
Harry put his hand on Rogue's left shoulder and bent her over the desk in her room, sweeping the objects off as he did so. Rogue braced her hands on the desktop and groaned as she felt the loss of his hands probing her folds. A moment later she gasped as she felt something more substantial than his digits at her entrance.
Begin Smut Scene
Harry pushed his hips forward and felt his dick slide into Rogue's virgin tunnel. Her inner walls gripped him strongly as he relentlessly pushed into her depths until his groin pressed against her rump.
"Oh fuck...you're so fucking big!" Rogue groaned out.
Harry stood upright holding Rogue's hips as he slowly started working his prick back and forth from her quim. Her insides felt deliciously warm and tight around his girth. The slickness of her folds was perfect. She moaned beneath him and looked over her shoulder to lock eyes with him. The arousal and desire on her features was intoxicating to his gaze. He watched her pink folds conforming to his organ as he slid in and out
341
of her. His shaft was coated with her juices as he looked on. Harry felt Rogue's kegel muscles clenching and releasing rhythmically around his manhood. Harry moved his hands from her hips and felt up over her back. He enjoyed the smooth sensation of her skin beneath his touch. His hands came up and gripped her shoulders. He started picking up the pace of his thrusts through her womanly core. Rogue moaned and whimpered beneath him.
"You've got a wonderfully tight pussy, Rogue," Harry whispered as he leaned down and brought his mouth to her ear. "It's the perfect place for my dick to be. Tell me how much you love the feel of my shaft inside of you."
Harry startled nibbling Rogue's right ear even as he sent a surge of arcane energy between her thighs. Rogue's vagina spasmed and clenched up around his prick when that surge hit her g-spot but his immense strength allowed him to move through it. Harry leaned more forward and pressed his chest to Rogue's back. He continued to rock his hips back and forth while his hands slid under her chest and cupped her breasts. Rogue cooed approvingly as his fingers toyed with her nipples.
"Yes," Rogue hissed. "Play with my nipples...your hands feel so fucking good on my tits. And your thick cock is stretching my cunny open in all the right ways. Don't stop...don't ever stop fucking me."
Rogue's hips moved in counterpoint to Harry's forward thrusts so that her rump impacted with a meaty slap against his groin. She turned her head and captured his lips in a hungry kiss, suckling on his tongue when it slid into her mouth. Rogue switched to bracing her upper body against the desk using her left forearm only. Her right hand she slipped down between her thighs and began rubbing her clit. She felt a sense of elation run through her as her lover pumped his heated prick in her snatch. She felt a warmth spreading out in her loins that seemed to originate from her cunny and his organ moving within her. The warmth was too surreal and intense to merely be from friction but her nerve endings burned with passionate fires. Her partner's muscular form bore down on her as he rutted against her backside. His hands released her breasts and slid back down to her hips. She felt an odd disorienting sensation and then she found herself laying on the end of her bed on her back. Her legs were vertical with her ankles on Harry's shoulders as he stared down at her.
Harry grinned down at Rogue in their new position. Now he could gaze at her beauty as he skewered her quim with his shaft. He turned his mouth and kissed her ankles one at a time. He inhaled the sensual aroma of her skin. A light sheen of sweat began to cover her as the intensity of the sensations in her body went up a level. His entrancement with her went up a notch as well given all of the arcane energy he was sending into her and the intermingling their essences were experiencing. He sensed her thoughts and desires on a primal level and acted on them as his higher brain functions started to have less control over his actions than his subconscious mind. Harry watched as she played with her own tits and stared hungrily up at him. He reached down and put his right hand on her belly. The two lovers remained in this position for a considerable time with Harry just pumping away at her pussy. Their passions began to increase higher and higher. The tension in their muscles gradually increased.
"Harry...oh...yes...I'm...going...to...cum," Rogue managed to get out between gasps.
Harry lowered Rogue's legs to the junction of his biceps and forearms before leaning down and kissing her. His hips were rapidly rocking back and forth sawing his dick between her gash. Her snug sleeve started to constrict around his organ until he simply didn't want to hold back anymore. Harry groaned deeply as he sent his seed surging into Rogue's belly. She tensed up and arched her back as ecstasy ripped through her body originating from her womanhood. Her kegel muscles went wild massaging Harry's prick to coax out more hot potion to mix with her nectar within her cauldron. The lovers ground their sexes together as his manhood and her womanhood squeezed and writhed against one another. Pure bliss and euphoria coursed through their bodies and filled their minds with nirvana. Arcane energy prolonged this joy for far longer than was humanly possible.
Harry moved them further up onto the bed and the lovers quickly fell asleep still joined.

End Smut Scene
End Flashback
Rogue shuddered as the effects of her kiss combined with her memory of their first time caused Rogue to experience a small orgasm.
"I'm not complaining," Harry whispered to Rogue.
Harry held his girlfriend as she recovered from the orgasm he had sensed.
"You better not," Rogue whispered back. After several more moments she asked, "So is this gem special?"
"My scans are telling me this gem has a connection to another dimension where a very powerful being lives," Harry suggested.
"How powerful?" Rogue asked. "I'm thinking deity-level powerful," Harry answered.
"What are you going to do with it?" Rogue questioned. "And is this powerful being evil or is it too soon to tell?"
"It's too soon to tell," Harry answered. "I think I'll move this to a safer location and study it very carefully." He picked up the gem and caused it to vanish from sight. "Is there anything you would like to do tonight in particular for our date?"
"Let's go catch a show and then dinner. Then I want to come back here and feel what it's like to have sex on this much cash," Rogue said with a sultry grin.
"Sounds like a plan," Harry said as he walked with Rogue out of the vault and through his casino to the entrance.
When the couple reached the entrance to the casino they found a giant of a man wearing an Adamantium helmet waiting for them. The man's name was Cain Marko or so Harry's surface telepathy told the wizard. Marko was about the same size as Hagrid but was much more obviously muscular. Rogue gasped in alarm and tensed beside Harry.
"Long time no see, kid," Marko told Rogue. "You escaped from Weapon X before its destruction," Rogue said in realization. "Yep. No thanks to you stabbing me in the back, Marian," Marko said. Marian was Rogue's given name but she chose to go by Rogue more often than not. "I didn't stab you in the back, Cain," Rogue said. "Why are you here? How did you ever find me?"
"I busted my old helmet out of lock-up. It lets me find anybody who has ever been branded by those dirt- bags in Weapon X. I'm here because I love you," Cain declared.

Rogue was stunned for a moment.
Finally she got her wits about her enough to point out, "I'm with him now. I love Harry."
"I'll take care of him and that will be that," Cain declared as he reached for Harry.
It was obvious Cain didn't recognize Harry. Harry didn't even bother dodging the grab. Harry simply anchored himself in space-time as Cain's fist squeezed.
"Having fun?" Harry asked as Cain tried squeezing and grunted in effort. "What the fuck?" Cain demanded. Rogue smirked and said, "You may think you are unstoppable, Cain. But you haven't seen anything yet."
Harry's right fist smashed into Cain's left forearm which cracked with an audible snap. Harry leapt forward and up driving his fist down straight at Marko's Adamantium helmet. The helmet actually cracked though it didn't shatter. Marko stumbled back.
"No...that shouldn't be possible. What are you?" Marko demanded.
"He's your worst nightmare," Rogue declared before Harry hit Marko with a telekinetic force that saw Marko launched like a cannon-ball far out into the Nevada desert. "Nice," Rogue complimented. "Are you going to go after him?"
"We are on a date. I'll keep an eye on Marko but you and I have plans. Let us resume them," Harry suggested as he offered Rogue his arm.
"I love you," Rogue declared with a grin. "And I love you," Harry replied before the couple went on about their business.
Harry sat with Kitty watching the WWH feed which showed versions of them in an alternate universe fighting a villain called the Ringer.
"I like my new outfit," Kitty suggested. The Kitty in the WWH feed was wearing a yellow and black skin-tight bodysuit with a full facial mask.
"I love the fact that you were willing to create a new costumed identity to be able to date me," Harry put forth.
"I would be willing to do a lot more for you, lover," Kitty assured while looking up at Harry's eyes.
Kitty was sitting with Harry in a love seat with her head on his shoulder. Kitty felt she could never get enough of looking into Harry's brilliant green eyes. Whenever he was with her in private Harry would alternate between his Harry Potter and Peter Parker forms depending upon his mood. In public he was generally in his Peter Parker form.
344
"I know you would. I love you so much," Harry whispered before leaning down and kissing his girlfriend.
She eagerly returned the kiss. The couple had just made love a short while before otherwise the kiss would have evolved into more. They turned back to the holo-feed to see the Ringer go down with teamwork from Kitty and Peter.
"We make a good team," Kitty declared with a smile. "That we do," Harry agreed.
Harry and Kitty watched the parting of their alternates. Kitty felt Harry's change in mood as he observed Peter.
"What is it?" Kitty asked. "He still has feelings for MJ. Your counterpart is really getting into him," Harry explained. "You think he is going to hurt her," Kitty surmised. "Yes," Harry confirmed.
"Well it's a good thing MJ and I know how to share in this universe," Kitty suggested. The X-Jet was picking Kitty up on autopilot and ferrying her between Westchester and Queens. "I'm so happy you have a teleporter. The X-Jet may be fast but your teleporter means I get to see you more often."
Harry watched as Kitty was ambushed by a shape-shifting cyborg when she returned to the Institute. The other X-Men had already been captured. That Kitty had managed to send the X-Jet for her boyfriend before her capture. Peter managed to get captured pretty quickly.
"Let's make things a little more interesting," Harry suggested. "How do you mean?" Kitty questioned.
"I've been working on my tech to develop my ability to affect reality in another universe remotely," Harry explained. "You'll see what I mean when Peter wakes up."
Harry had developed an interface that could project his mind and arcane energy abilities into a being within another universe Harry was viewing. Harry could choose to interact with the other being as much or as little as he wanted. The other being might be made aware of Harry's presence within their mind or they might not. Harry could also receive sensory input from the other being. He could feel what they were feeling both emotionally and physically. Harry called the tech Rem-Control (standing for Remote Control).
Harry waited until Spider-Man and the X-Men reached the ground before he started interfering. Their captor known as Deadpool and his team of cyborgs had thrown the captives out of the airplane. The mutants had used their various powers to survive the fall. A massive cyborg named Sam Winfred came crashing down into a nearby tree as Peter tried to free himself from the manacles his captors had used on him.
"Oh shit," Peter cursed.
This was the point Harry intervened. Harry took control and broke the manacles before dodging as Sam sent a beam of energy from one of the cyborg's gauntlets at Harry. Harry leapt forward after the dodge and kicked
345
Sam in the face hard enough to snap the cyborg's head back and overpower the cybernetic implants meant to keep Sam conscious in just such a situation. Sam dropped to the ground out cold with many of his facial bones crushed. Harry thought about what to do with Sam.
"He and the other cyborgs allowed themselves to be turned into these creatures just to kill mutants," Lily informed Harry.
"Shut down his cybernetic systems," Harry directed.
Sam died moments later.
"It was a serious design flaw to alter vital organ systems to the point they couldn't function without the cybernetic implants," Lily noted.
"Yes...they should have stuck to augmentation without compromising the base systems. Though I guess with the level of tech they have available they wouldn't have been able to make cyborgs capable of taking on the X-Men," Harry mused as he started walking towards the nearest X-Man.
"Colossus," Harry greeted the Russian when Harry ran into Colossus a short while later. "I took care of the cyborg you threw at me."
"I apologize," Colossus said. "I did not expect anybody to be where I threw him. How did you get here? I remember being attacked by someone that looked like Storm."
"A shape-shifter," Harry suggested. "Someone who looked like Kitty attacked me. She used her relationship with me to get close. The rest of the X-Men were on the plane with us when I briefly woke up."
A beam of reddish light suddenly cut through the jungle nearby. "Scott," Colossus shouted and rushed towards the origin of the beam.
Harry kept pace with Colossus. Harry and Colossus arrived at the origin point to find Scott being held by two cyborgs while two robots attacked.
"Oh, we'll do more than that," Cyborg-Rick threatened just before Colossus' fist smashed into Cyborg-Rick's face.
Harry webbed up the two robots even as he performed a leaping kick into Cyborg-Chad. Colossus made short work of his opponent before moving to crush the robots. Harry moved behind Scott and broke Scott's manacles.
"Thanks," Scott said. "Where are we?"
Colossus brought Scott quickly up to speed on what they knew.
"We have incoming," Harry warned while focusing on one particular section of the forest.
A slithering sound could be heard and the reason why was revealed moments later as a cyborg with a lower half shaped like a snake slithered into view.
"Am I on?" Cyborg-Alvin said into his earpiece implant. "Okay. Yo ho, mutants," he called.
346
"They are recording and transmitting video feed of this somewhere," Harry informed his companions even as Cyborg-Alvin opened up with energy beams from the larger of his two sets of arms.
Harry leapt and pulled Scott out of the way of the first beam. The second beam ricocheted off of Colossus' bio-steel form. Scott responded with an optic blast but the attack was deflected by an energy shield that formed around Cyborg-Alvin's upper half.
"We were ready for you, mutie," Cyborg-Alvin taunted. "You don't have what it takes to beat us with the sacrifices we have made."
A lightning storm came down out of the sky and smashed into Cyborg-Alvin laying the cyborg low. Ororo flew down to the ground.
"I'm a little pissed about this whole thing," Ororo declared. "Do you know where we are, Storm?" Scott asked. "We're on Krakoa," Ororo explained. "I'll show you," she said as she lifted the males with a wind tunnel. "Storm, we have incoming," Scott warned.
Storm dropped the wind tunnel to avoid the gunfire from the two attack helicopters meant to keep the mutants from escaping via flying. Harry shot webbing into the rotors of the choppers and watched in satisfaction as the rotors locked up. The copters fell out of the sky with explosions.
"I didn't know your webbing was that strong. Effective," Ororo said as she set the team down.
Just then Kitty came walking through the flames. When she saw Harry she leapt into his arms. He hugged her back.
"What are you doing here?" Kitty asked after pulling back from the hug. "I came on the plane you sent for me," Harry pointed out.
Just then Kurt teleported in attracted by the smoke from the burning helicopter wreckage. Then Warren flew in cradling an unconscious Jean. Rogue appeared at the same time.
"I found her hanging unconscious from a tree and didn't know what to do," Warren explained while setting Jean down.
"How do we wake her?" Scott asked.
Ororo was about to suggest something when Harry went over and touched Jean's forehead. The redhead calmly woke up.
"You're a telepath," Jean said staring at Spider-Man in surprise. "I dabble," Harry replied surprising everyone including Kitty. "We'll talk about that later," Kitty said.
347
"We have incoming, people," Harry said as he turned to face the jungle.
"Time to die, muties," Deadpool shouted as he and a large group of cyborgs and robots burst from the forest in the direction Harry was facing.
Harry headed straight for Deadpool.
Deadpool called, "Hit 'em high! Hit 'em low, Reavers. A case of coldskies goes to the one who collects the most mutant carcasses before sundown."
"X-Men, find high ground!" Scott shouted over the sound of battle.
Deadpool tried stabbing at Harry with a large knife but Harry easily deflected the arm holding the knife. Harry's reverse punch was partially dodged but enough of it caught Deadpool to lift the masked mercenary into the air and launched Deadpool back into a tree. Deadpool had the wind knocked out of him but he was able to fire off his hand-held laser pistol at Harry. Harry held out his hand and caught the laser blast as Deadpool regained a standing position. Deadpool came at Harry again and lashed out with a faint followed by an uppercut tinged with some extreme force. Harry stumbled back but he was reinforcing his borrowed form with telekinesis so was able to right himself pretty swiftly. Harry had sensed something around Deadpool's fist...a small telekinetic barrier which had enhanced the mercenary's punch. Deadpool was apparently a limited telekinetic. The X-Men were fleeing to a more strategic position so Harry followed.
Harry swung down and picked up Kitty along the way. She phased her hands back into their normal state enough to grab onto him. Harry put them down in a concealed spot in the undergrowth but sensed there were cameras still on them. Harry cast a spell which masked their true actions visually and through audio under an illusion.
"Are you alright?" Harry asked.
"Yeah...I've got a few scrapes. A couple of the cyborgs managed to clip me before I went out of phase," Kitty explained. "But I'll be fine. Please don't break up with me. I got you into this even though it was an accident. Please don't break up with me."
Harry leaned down and kissed Kitty. She moaned into the kiss and put her arms around his neck. All of her aches and pains were forgotten in that kiss. It wasn't until later that she would notice there wasn't a scratch on her and realize her boyfriend had somehow healed her.
"I have no intention of breaking up with you. You are very special to me," Harry whispered. "I'm so hot for you right now," Kitty replied.
"We can explore that feeling later. Right now we need to move because there is a cyborg closing on our position," Harry explained.
Harry picked Kitty up and swung away far in advance of the cyborg blowing up their previous hideout. The illusion Harry had used masked their true location quite nicely. They came upon Scott being attacked but Warren was already pulling Scott into the air. Storm was off in the distance engaged in a serious fight judging by the lightning. Harry, Kitty, Warren, and Scott all converged on Ororo's position and found the weather witch fighting alongside Colossus and Kurt. Other X-Men showed up as well as the fight heated up.
Harry set Kitty down and leapt through a cloud of smoke leftover from an explosion to punch Deadpool right
348
in the face hard enough to bypass any telekinetic defense the mercenary may have wielded. Harry ripped Deadpool's mask off to reveal the face of Charles Xavier. The nearest X-Men were shocked by the sight of Xavier.
"Children, run," Xavier called. "I beg of you." "Nice try but I'm afraid this trick doesn't work on me," Harry told Deadpool. "Kitty, go intangible."
Kitty reacted without question and took herself out of phase. Harry tossed Deadpool through Kitty. Deadpool's holo-imaging device shorted out and the illusion covering his features fell away to reveal a hideous sight. Deadpool's skin across his face along with the top of his skull had been removed. A clear polymer shield was protecting Deadpool's brain and exposed muscle. Harry could tell Deadpool had more electronic hardware within that had been partially shielded. The quick pass through Kitty hadn't destroyed that enhancement hardware but had damaged it.
"What the fuck," Scott shouted.
Harry hit Deadpool with a web-line and tossed the super-villain off into the distance. With the high trees it didn't take long for Deadpool to vanish from sight.
"Putting that fucked up sight out of our minds...we need to go up to that compound on the hill. I bet that is where they have the real Professor Xavier," Ororo urged.
"Agreed," Scott replied.
As the group began moving an energy rifle beam shot out from the trees and hit Harry square in the back. Harry grunted but turned and glared into the tree-line. Harry shot out another web-line and jerked the cyborg forward that had shot at him. Harry's punch when the cyborg was in range took Cyborg-Chad's head clean off. More of Deadpool's minions came pouring out of the woods. This time nobody held back. Kitty intentionally stayed inside the cyborgs with her phasing ability absolutely destroying their enhancement technology. The cyborgs died swiftly and messily. When Deadpool ran out of the woods holding a shock device meant to take out Kitty, Harry shot a web-line out at the threat and pulled the shock device away. Deadpool immediately fell back and relied on firing two energy weapons.
"You don't have what it takes to win against us," Deadpool shouted hysterically. "I'm afraid that is where you are wrong," Harry assured as he leapt forward and jabbed his fist into Deadpool's chest crushing the villain's heart.
The villain let out a surprised sound and then dropped to the ground dead. There was a moment of silence and then Scott said, "Let's go get the professor."
The group made short work of the compound's defenses. Once they breached the outer wall the conclusion of the fight was inevitable.
"I found him," Jean announced with her eyes closed in concentration. "I'm telekinetically breaking his restrains now."
The sound of several screams came from the other side of the compound. Moments later, Xavier came wheeling out of a hallway into the main chamber to see his X-Men and Spider-Man had dealt with the remaining enemy forces.
349
"Are you alright, Professor?" Ororo asked.
"I will survive. Let's get out of this horrid place," Xavier said. As the group walked to the island's airfield, Xavier added, "Mr. Parker if you hadn't come to our aid I don't know that we would have gotten the upper hand. Thank you."
"It was my pleasure," Harry said while holding Kitty's hand.
The X-Men commandeered a jet from the airfield and the group was soon leaving the island. Not one of the criminals that had slaughtered so many mutants was left alive. Harry held Kitty on the plane ride.
"Ok...so how did you do all of the things I have never seen you do before?" Kitty asked. "I'm not completely the Peter Parker you know," Harry answered.
Kitty sat up and looked at her boyfriend with confusion. As she watched her boyfriend took on a glow and a separate man coalesced out of the lights. The space inside of the airplane got much larger and it was as if time seemed to freeze outside of the expanded space.
"Woh...that was weird," Peter said. "What's going on?" Kitty asked. "I am Harry Potter. I've been watching you from my universe for a little while," Harry explained. Harry briefly explained the concept of his WWH feed. "Ok," Kitty said slowly. "Assuming I buy all of that...why did you come here and intervene?" "I came here because my Kitty and I foresaw a problem you two are headed towards," Harry explained. "And what is that?" Kitty asked.
"MJ...she still has a powerful hold on Peter," Harry explained. Peter looked pained at this declaration while Kitty looked at Peter worriedly. "You may not think you can be with her right now but I think that will change. You don't realize how much she means to you yet. Yet Kitty is an awesome partner. She's growing in a beautiful woman. You don't want to throw that away."
"Is he right, Peter?" Kitty asked quietly.
"I...I don't know," Peter answered truthfully. "I guess it is a concern. Do you have a proposed solution?"
Just then Harry's-Kitty appeared beside Harry.
"It's simple," Harry's-Kitty declared. "You learn to share," Harry's-Kitty told Peter's-Kitty.
"This is so weird," Peter's-Kitty declared as she stared at her counterpart wide-eyed. "Is it really that simple?"
"Let's talk about things frankly," Harry began.
The two couples engaged in a discussion on sharing. It was a long discussion but eventually Peter and his Kitty came to see the light.
