I would like to say that I quickly got over my embarrassment and arousal at the situation I was in.
I would be lying.
And Ororo didn't have to do anything really to put me in this state, it was all me and my horniness.
She didn't even do much except instruct me to sit and try to clear my mind. Which was an incredibly hard thing to do.
I couldn't take my attention from Ororo. Even with my eyes closed, I could sense her and the energy she contained. How it seeped into the world around her, and how the world in return seemed to supply her.
It was a constant back and forth, and what seemed like iron-clad control before now looked more like a guiding hand. I don't know how I could've missed this. Maybe because it was still a new sensation?
The weird energy she uses to connect to the elements around her is giving me a headache trying to make sense of it. I can tell that it's more esoteric than the normal types that I have witnessed till now. Is it really Magic in the end? Or maybe Psionics?Or even some form of divine power? If it even exists here? I really can't-
"You are distracted," Ororo's voice vaguely reached me. " Care to tell me what's on your mind?"
"I'm thinking of how gorgeous and complicated you are," I said distractedly, as I tried to analyze the weird, maybe Psionic energy more in depth. I could feel a slight itch in my mind the more I concentrate on it.
"I do not know how to respond to that. How so ?"
"Hm ?" I opened my eyes and looked at her, then quickly averted my eyes from her form. What I said to her finally caught up to my brain. "I meant on how you look to my Energy Sense. " I then quickly reiterited," Not that you aren't gorgeous, normally, but-" I stopped as I heard her warm chuckles.
"I thank you for the compliment, Gabriel." She smiled warmly before she got a bit more serious."And what do you mean by Energy Sense? "
"Ah, yeah, I never really explained my powers, right ?" I rhetorically asked.
"No, and while it's not necessary to help you start your training, it would be helpful in the future." I nodded at that.
" I can manipulate energy. Whether it's mine or those of others. I survived my fall when I absorbed the kinetic energy I was generating with my fall and converted it to something else. This slowed it down and made it more manageable." I told her.
" Thank you for your trust. And what type of energy can you control? "
"My instincts tell me there shouldn't be something I couldn't potentially control." Which is true and it only confirmed that I had the same potential as the youngest of the Summers in the comics.
I mean everything around me seemed to be within my grasp at all times. I haven't reached out yet, because I didn't want to cause any incident.
She quirked a brow at that. "We shall verify that, but if it's proven true, you will have great potential. Meaning this has become more vital for your and other people's safety." She said a bit more sternly and grimly than normal, and even her presence became somehow more regal.
Despite her nakedness at this moment, I felt more in awe of her than anything else.
"I hope you endeavour to use your gifts responsibly in the future"
"I'll try my best," I said, and I meant it.
"That's all I can ask of you." She said as she sighed, and with that, all the regal air dispersed like an illusion" Now, what do your senses tell you about me that you find so fascinating? " She asked immediately after.
I was still a bit on the back foot but was still able to respond to her without making a fool out of myself.
"You look like a storm waiting to be unleashed at any moment, a powerful one that is, honestly, a bit scary with how much power it contains. But the important aspect is how connected to the world you are. Your power is constantly being fed by the very nature around us, and you're constantly projecting a weird energy field that lets you control the elements."
"Weird?" She asked confusedly
"I honestly can't tell exactly what type of energy it is, and it's more special than what I encountered before." I shrugged
"Fascinating," She made a mime to think for a bit, " I shall ponder upon these at a later time. Are you ready to start your training now ?"
"I was waiting for this," I said with an excited smile.
*****
" First, I want you to reach out and try to make a flame. A small one for now. And if you happen to lose control, I'll be here to douse it as needed."
We changed location, now we were in some open stone courtyard. It had various marks of wear and scorches. I'm guessing this is where she herself trained?
I did as I was told. I reached out to my inner well of energy and slowly pulled out a minuscule amount of it.
I remember what thermal energy feels like, and I found myself instinctively knowing how to change the energy I had in reserve to heat and light.
A flame erupted, violently in the palm of my hand. The heat was unmistakable, but I was not affected.
This isn't the small flame I had in mind. I tried reducing it, absorbing some of the surplus into myself. And it worked a lot better than my first use of my powers, fortunately.
I looked at Ororo and she gave me a smile.
"Very good, now we can start in earnest"
***
Training with Ororo is fun. Both because using my new superpowers is really cool, and because I felt myself progressing rapidly and that brought with it a wonderful sense of accomplishment
Also, spending time with a beauty such as her is something that my horny brain is approving of.
The exercises she put me through were ones she used herself a couple of years back. Her being able to generate and control lightning is easily translated to my situation.
Of course, one session is not enough to become perfect, sadly, but I know it won't take months to become passable, so that's fortunate.
***
I quickly established a routine: wake up, practice the Method, spend the morning helping around the village and try to get along with people there, and spend the night either getting my ass kicked by Ororo or training in the use of my powers with her.
I'm getting better in the spars at a homely faster rate than with my powers, by the end of my second week here, I could already feel my body changing, and my coordination shot up through the roof. In the spars, I barely started predicting Ororo's moves with her muscle twitches and what I know of her personality.
Of course, I've also gotten closer to her in these couple of weeks. Our daily interactions kind of made it inevitable, but it's also because she is genuinely a delight to be around. While she lacks some of the common sense I'm used to, she could say the same of me. What with us coming from literally two different worlds?
***
A month after my impromptu displacement, I found myself flying around in the skies with Ororo.
She always looked the happiest and most content when she was flying, as if all her burdens evaporated, and while I could understand the sentiment, I couldn't really feel that, because until I got literal superpowers I was afraid of heights, and I'm still getting used to my ability to go tell gravity to screw itself.
But it is growing on me really fast, because who has never dreamt of flying by their own power at some point in their lives?
At some point I saw Ororo slow down and stop mid-air, her gaze lost in the horizon.
" Hey 'Ro, what got you so lost in the clouds ?" She responded by groaning at my wonderful pun, rude.
"That was not as clever as you probably think it is, Gabriel." She sighed longingly before turning to me. "Have you thought about what you wish to do when you leave ?" She asks me suddenly.
I put my hands behind my back as I started to float horizontally to watch the skies. Of course, I thought about it. I have a list of stuff that I need to do, and a lot of information I need to gather. Like, where in the timeline am I really? I'm suspecting it's really early, because Ororo is not an X-Men, but it could just be a weird alternate universe thing.
" I want to travel the world," I said finally. " Meet interesting people," read: important people in the history of Marvel, "learn and create new things, push the limit of my powers, and of course, most important of all," I paused to create suspense, " woo some beautiful women."
The serious air instantly shattered as Ororo started laughing out loud. Yeah, like I thought, that weird melancholic face didn't suit her much.
We slowly drifted down and touched the ground as her laugh subsided.
"Is that so, Gabriel. And what of me? Will you try "wooing" me too ?" She said with amusement as she approached me slowly. Her walk shifts slightly as she saunters more seductively to me.
" Have I perhaps invited a lustful beast to my abode? Should I fear for my chastity? "
"Honestly, it feels like I'm the one who should fear for mine here," I blurted out reflexively, which brought a snort out of her.
" I suppose you became a fine specimen of the male body," Thank you, Hercules Method," and you are the only one within this community to dare desire a goddess such as I, "She said half jokingly as she placed a hand on my chest and slowly pushed me to the floor of the garden.
She slowly, agonizingly, straddled me, and I felt really conscious about the state of dress at this moment. I got used to the naked training with Ororo, to the point that I rarely put on clothes around her. Neither does she around me.
So now I have a very naked, very beautiful woman on my lap, looking at me with eyes full of desire. She slowly ground herself on my crotch, waiting for a response. I could feel her arousal on my very erect member and I made the hardest decision since coming here.
I snaked a hand around her waist and held her chin with my other one. " You're making it hard to resist you right now 'Ro." I said to her softly "But I wanna do it right with you, so that means real courting and all that stuff."
She looked at me, surprised, and then I saw her skin darkening a bit around her cheeks. She suddenly looked more vulnerable than before. " I thought men would rarely let go of a chance of an easy lay." She murmured.
" That's true. But I have a strong feeling for you, it's not that hard to see. And I want to do right by you so that you won't regret giving me a chance."
She stayed silent for a while, and I didn't talk either. She was scrutinizing me for a while before she finally smiled. Then she quickly closed in and gave me a chaste kiss on the lips.
"Consider me 'wooed', Gabriel."
