Chapter 141X-plaining powers
We all sat around a round table as Kitty Pryde read us the updates on the school and Krakoa. She looked at all of us and finally asked. “Alright, starting from my left can you please tell us your name and what mutation you have.” The one right next to her was Scott and he went. “My name is Scott Summers and I have heatwave eyes. They essentially produce as much energy as the sun on Earth so I can give you all a tan if you’d like. Professor X made this band to absorb and focus my powers into a laser shot a day. The visor can store up to twelve shots.”
What a convoluted system for using powers. So he can only fire up to a dozen laser beams? That seems extremely weak, especially since it will take him twelve days to generate them. Having his eyes be an alternate dimension didn’t really make sense but it was still surreal to see this weak boy given a high position because the professor likes him.
Next was Orca. “My name is Orca and if you couldn’t tell. I have Orca powers, and increased strength, speed, and endurance over that of a normal human. I do wear out faster but I can also breathe underwater and communicate with other whales.” My mind is telling me no! But my body! My body is telling me yes! I think having sex with her just for the experience would be worth it.
Rose Wilson went next. “Rose... I’m good at killing.” Everyone waited for her to continue but she didn’t. I was next. “Danny Storm, billionaire playboy philanthropist. I made the serum that can turn normals into mutants and used it on myself. My power is mutant boost. I can give you a tiny boost over a long period or a big boost over a short period... What else? Oh! I’m super strong I have like fifty other powers I don’t plan on using and anyone who has sex with me gets stronger. I would also like my hero name to be High Five because that’s the only way I plan to activate my powers.”
Kitty lights up. “Okay, high five then.” She raises her hand up and I ask. “Big boost or small?” She looks at me like I’m dumb. “Big boost duh!” I give her a high five and she flops over on the table for about a minute. I was starting to worry before her head suddenly snapped up. “Holy Moley! I was able to astral project three different versions of myself and they could fly around and go through walls. I was even able to interact with objects for all three projections!”
Wow! That is strong. It would be great for scouting. “I can only do this once or twice a day without people getting addicted to the power boost. You should write down a few things you want to try while boosting, can one of your projections jump back into your body and control it? Can you fly, teleport you know try some things your original power wouldn’t have.”
That was an awful way to find out about my powers. God, if it activated immediately like Rogue’s mutation, I would be in a lot of trouble. When I powered up the mutants, there was more misfiring. It seemed like the newer the mutation, the higher the chance of it misfiring or becoming addicted. It was like any other form of power, though, of course, people would crave it more and more.
She was an aged-up version, I’d put her in her twenties. Her age was always a toss-up in the comics because of her alternate dimension where time doesn’t pass she could be anywhere from a twelve-year-old little girl to one of the oldest members of whatever team she was on. She most likely had better control over her powers than the younger versions of herself which was good, I was more curious about what kind of cores these girls had since most could use magic.
