Chapter 60: Magik

AN: Sorry for the delay. My family and I went somewhere on the weekends and I wasn't able to write then...that and with the added holidays on Thursday and Friday, I kinda lost track of the days and forgot about it XD

Work is now a bit okay so I may also post another chapter on Wednesday. But it still depends of my boss decides to give me more work anyway or not....

Btw, there's been less and less h-scenes recently. it will probably be even less in the future but I'll try to do it every once in a while if there's a new girl or such. Also, no, there's none here too :P

That's all, enjoy!

Chapter 60: Magik

Before Benjamin explored Limbo some more, he felt the need to understand this realm more first.

The way to do that is to ask someone who also has access to this realm. Illyana Rasputin, AKA, Magik.

It’s about time they meet. He promised her brother Colossus after all.

As for Elsa...well, she is currently staying in our mansion for now until she gets used to things.

Ororo was visiting as well and was chatting with Anna and Nat in the pool. As for Death...she seems to be holed up in her room.

Probably watching some anime again...

Well, Benjamin doesn’t care what she does as long as she doesn’t cause havoc.

Let’s pray she doesn’t curse the animators, authors, or mangakas for not updating fast...

Just as he was thinking that, he heard her shouting from her room.

“Damn you Imbreak! When are you going to update!? You said weekend! What day is it already!?”

“...”

Benjamin quickly left to avoid that disaster.

Taking a quick glance at the pool, he saw Elsa and Ororo, these two white-haired goddesses, laughing and showcasing their powers. It seem the two had hit it off.

Well, Storm has a bit of similarity with her after all.

Not just the white hair but like Elsa, she also has some control over ice and snow.

And being a mutant, she also knows the loneliness that comes with her uniqueness like Elsa. Naturally, the two had bonded quite fast.

Of course, Anna and Nat also became quick friends with her.

...It seems that they are treating her like a sister already but Benjamin really had no intention to sleep with her that fast!

[Host, stop fooling yourself.]

...

Benjamin sighed and left to find Colossus.

X-Mansion.

Benjamin walked in and saw a familiar red-haired beauty walking through the halls, having just left one of the classrooms.

She immediately noticed Benjamin and smiled as she greeted him.

“Ben! You’ve come to visit? If you’re looking for Storm, she said she was going to your place earlier.”

“Hey Jean. Yeah Ororo’s at the house already. She’s chatting with Anna and the others right now. You know, girls talk.”

“Ah, I see.”

Jean nodded in understanding.

Benjamin just said it casually but didn’t think she would understand...what did she understand exactly!?

Benjamin smiled wryly and continued.

“Anyway, I’m here for Colossus. I promised something to him before and didn’t have much time to do it yet. Now I’m free so I thought I’d drop by.”

“Colossus should be right down the hall to the right. The last room.”

“Thanks.”

“Is this about Magik?”

“Yeah. You knew?”

Jean smiled wryly and nodded.

“Magik is...a bit of a troublemaker here. Her powers are great but she often uses them to do pranks or cause trouble. Colossus always scolds her for it.”

“Is that so?”

It seems asking about Limbo is going to be a bit troublesome...

Benjamin sighed in his mind but still wanted to try. Anyway, he has nothing to lose for it...maybe his patience.

Just as he was about to leave and look for Colossus, he noticed Jean seemingly hesitating on something.

“What’s up?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just...you know that I’m also still having trouble controlling my powers too right?”

“Yeah?”

“Most of the times, I would hear the thoughts of those around me but...since we met, I’ve never been able to read your mind for some reason.”

Well, the System is blocking you of course.

Not like he can just say that.

“Ah well, I also have some means to block mental attacks.”

Benjamin winked playfully.

“I have a lot of secrets after all.”

Jean chuckled at that.

“Okay, now I’m even more curious.”

Then, she suddenly thought.

“Hmm, maybe you can also teach me? I’ve had the Professor teach me but lately, I feel like my mental powers are already on his level if not more.”

Oh?

Has the Phoenix Force started to act up already?

Speaking of which, did Charles already tell her about the block he put in her?

I did warn him before...well, I’ll just check it with Jean later.

Benjamin shrugged.

Things like a human skull or a pentagram or other various...questionable things decorated the room.

On the bed, a girl was curled up hugging her knees. She had long blonde hair, grey eyes, and wore a black sleeveless shirt and hot pants.

On her right hand was a hand puppet of what looked like a purple...dragon?

Illyana glared at the two intruders but didn’t get up.

“What do you want now?”

Colossus saw her like this and sighed.

He walked to the bed and sat down.

“Did you have that dream again?”

“...I don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you know what he’s talking about, Lockheed?”

Illyana turned to the hand puppet on her hand, seemingly conversing with it.

“Lockheed doesn’t know what you’re talking about either.”

Colossus sighed again.

“Illy, you know I’m your brother. You can always turn to me.”

“Go away. We’re busy.”

“...”

Colossus shook his head and stood up.

He patted Benjamin on the shoulder and turned to Illyana.

“This is Benjamin Freed whom I talked to you about before. He can help you control your powers. If you don’t want my help, then let him help instead.”

“That’s him?”

Illyana raised her brow and looked at Benjamin from top to bottom.

“At least give it a try first.”

Colossus continued to try and convince her.

Finally, Illyana relented.

“Fine. At least he’s better looking than your metal face.”

“...”

Colossus was a bit hurt.

Still, at least she had agreed.

He turned to Benjamin and nodded.

“Then, I’ll be counting on you.”

Benjamin nodded.

“I’ll do my best. You should attend to your things. Don’t you have any classes?”

“Yes. I’ll be off then. Illy, behave.”

“Shoo. Go away already.”

After Colossus left, Illyana sighed and finally stood up.

She closed in on Benjamin and raised her hand with the hand puppet right to his face.

As she opened and closed her hand, or rather, the puppet’s mouth, she asked.

“So you’re the one with the big dick?”

Benjamin was too shocked and choked on his own saliva.

Coughing a few times, he looked at her incredulously.

“Y-you...where the hell did that come from!?”

“You screwed teacher Ororo and Rogue, they talked and the girls talked, and so on. We girls have our own network, naturally, we know.”

“...”

Benjamin was speechless.

What the hell!?

Does that mean every girl in this place knows!?

Benjamin’s face went red in embarrassment. He didn’t know how to face anyone here anymore! This was too embarrassing!

Granted, he was confident with his size and it didn’t bother him much, but it was still too embarrassing for such a large amount of people to know about it!

No wonder on his way here, the girls would keep glancing at him...

...Wait, does Kitty also know? Does Jean also know!?

And Charles...with how that guy keeps reading people’s minds, does he also know now too?

...Should I erase everyone’s mind?

“...Why do you have an expression like you’re about to silence everyone?”

“That’s just your imagination.”

“....”

Illyana’s gaze then went down.

Benjamin caught her gaze and placed his finger under her chin and pushed it up.

“Eyes up here.”

Words Benjamin never thought he’d say in his life...

Illyana rolled her eyes.

“What? I’m just curious. Is it really that big?”

“Can we not talk about my dick already?”

“Yes, just show it.”

“No!”

Benjamin sighed.

She’s indeed a troublemaker...
