Chapter 178 - Brotherhood & Returning Home...



(A/N: I was hella busy today...!!! But Here goes, enjoy!)

[POV Rumi] ​​

It has been 4 days since we have lost contact with Reo, yeah, I know that he is not in any kind of risk but it doesn\'t mean that I am not worried about him. Hah! A released a huge sigh and stared towards the arena… I wasn\'t in a mood to fight today.

I pressed my hands together and kept staring towards the arena. I didn\'t want to be here today but because of Reo\'s mission I had to be here. I noticed that the woman was here today and she was keeping her eyes on me. Reo thinks that she goes by the name of Mystique and I don\'t doubt him.

The woman must have finally reached the limit of her patience because I felt her approach me. I didn\'t need to look up to know that it was the woman… my battle senses were quite sharp enough.

"What can I help you with?" I asked, my eyes still fixed on the arena.

"You are quite an interesting woman Rumi Usagiyama" the woman started to which I just snorted.

"I have heard. So, what do you want?" I asked the woman in a scathing manner but the woman didn\'t mind.

"You know… we should stick together. After all, there is strength in numbers" the woman said with a smile on her face.

"Why the hell should I stick with you? I don\'t even know you" I said in an annoyed tone.

"Do you think that humans would support you? They don\'t like something unnatural like us…" the woman said. I have to say that this woman is much smarter than that Toad guy. She hasn\'t mentioned anything about being a mutant but it is clear what she wants to say. I might not be cunning like Nemuri but I can work with simple manipulations like this.

"You aren\'t trying to get me into some cult or something, right?" I asked looking at her with an incredulous stare.

"Don\'t play me for a fool… how long do you think you would be able to hide the fact that you are a mutant?" the woman asked me… for the first time she lost her smile.

"I don\'t know what you are talking about?" I asked her in a defensive tone.

"You don\'t need to be guarded, I am trying to help you. With everything going on all around do you think you will be able to hide the fact that you are mutant?" the woman asked me, I decided to keep my silence.

"They will make something that will be able to locate all of us. What do you think humans will do when they capture us?" the woman continued when she saw that I didn\'t speak.

"So, you are saying we should fight?" I asked her in a small voice. The woman\'s smile returned.

"Of course, we might be few in numbers but we have decided to take the fight to them" the woman said. I acted like I was thinking about what I was going to do.

"So, how do I sign up?" After a minute passed I finally asked her.

"You being one of us is enough to sign up" the woman said. The woman asked me to follow her and I did. After a long boat ride, we arrived in some kind of island. It was some kind of a base… after entering the base the woman changed into a blue skinned naked woman… looks like Momo and Nemuri aren\'t the only exhibitionists in this world.

"My name is Mystique" the blue skinned naked woman said. We met with three guys… one of them was the toad guy, another was a tall man who looked like a beast and the last one was a geezer in red robes and a helmet. He called himself Magneto and he had powers to control metal. Somewhat like Reo but he wasn\'t strong enough to be compared with Reo.

After all, Reo could destroy a small city with a single move, I still shudder when I remember the first time I saw him using that move. Apparently, the geezer with Reo\'s power was the leader of this group and they called themselves the Brotherhood of Mutants. They told me about Charles Xavier who has his own group called X-Men who were passive fools and they were still supporting humans.

Personally, I call them fools, I can do nothing about them, at least, not yet. This is how I joined the Brotherhood of Mutants. The days passed just like that…

[POV Reo]

"How are you feeling?" Jean asked me, the machines were useless because of my lightning powers.

"I am quite fine now, though I won\'t deny a nice meal" I said to Jean who nodded her head. It has been two hours since I have woken up but I was unable to contact the girls because Jean has forbidden me from leaving my bed and I have to go to my room so that I can get my phone.

After a few minutes Jean returned with a plate of food, I wanted a juicy steak, but Jean denied saying that so much oil won\'t do me any good. I was happily eating my food when I remembered that Jean was still here, I was confused shouldn\'t Scott be already here?

"Where is your boyfriend?" I asked Jean and her face immediately darkened.

"He is not my boyfriend" Jean said in a dark tone before returning to her usual demeanour.

"Its kind of easy to perceive with how he is around you" I said with a smile and continued to eat my food.

"Please stop talking about that bastard. This is the only place I can get a break from him and I don\'t want to spend my time away from that asshole talking about him" Jean said in a disgusted tone. Wow… there is a lot of hate there.

I don\'t know what happened in the movies but this Jean Grey doesn\'t like Scott Summers at all, this world is slightly different than the original and there is still the matter of other factors like the inclusion of MCU and Fantastic Four. So, can it also change the timeline? Quite possible, if I think about this.

I slowly ate my food and laid back in my bed, I found that when I was out Charles or Jean has tried to enter my mind but they weren\'t successful. Well if they had succeeded then I would have pitied them… after all, I was never able to check the dungeon defence I have built inside my mind. I think I will let Charles have a go at it… who knows maybe he will succeed. Ha! Who am I even kidding…

After another hour Jean finally left but she didn\'t look too happy. I swear I heard something about ripping Scott into shreds if he dares to persist about the date. When Jean left I decided to check if anything was still watching me or not. I found that Xavier was busy with training so he wasn\'t using his mental abilities to watch over me from a distance. Jean was the same… if the kids were training that means it was already evening.

I quickly teleported into my room and found my stuff was untouched. I pulled out my phone from the bag and grimaced when I saw the missed calls and texts from the girls. Without waiting for another second, I texted them and I started to receive angry replies along with curses and finally texts saying that they were glad that I was okay. The last text was about how I should be a man and take my punishment like a man. Even though I grimaced… I know that I deserved it.

I told them that I will visit them as soon as possible, after that I kept the phone in my bag and apparated back in the infirmary bed. The training session was still going on so the others were still there.

After half an hour the training session finally ended… I noticed that now my sensing power has grown really strong. Before I absorbed the Leviathan\'s power I was only able to sense if they were kids or adults but now… I can clearly recognize a person. I didn\'t notice this change when I apparated into my room. I was too busy trying to think excuses so the girls would let me off easily.

That is how I found that the others were in the training room. After the training ended Jean and Ororo visited me together. After sometime, Charles arrived with Scott in tow.

They asked me some questions, normal questions asked to any patients after their recovery. Jean handed me a light dinner and left along with the others. Scott was glaring at me because I was being taken care of by Jean.

After finishing my dinner, I kept a close eye on Charles, as soon as he fell asleep I apparated into my room and took off my hospital gown, I wasn\'t wearing anything underneath, not surprising. I wore some clothes and took my time turner and apparated into Knox. The girls were still up but before I could greet them I was tackled by them which ended up as a group hug.

"Thank God, you are safe!" Momo said smothering me with kisses.

"Please don\'t do that again!" Rumi was next, she had her face buried in my chest and she was hugging me really tightly. If I hadn\'t absorbed the power then she would have definitely sent me to meet God.

"We were worried to death!" Next was Nemuri who said rubbing her face on my chest while hugging me tightly. I could feel her fox ears rubbing on my chin.

"Tell us before doing something like this again" Dora said with a small voice, she was hugging me from behind.

"Better yet, don\'t do something like this!" Fleur scolded me with a caring tone.

"Well, I trusted you but this is fun so I joined in" Luna said in a happy voice.

It almost brought me to tears seeing the girls like this. "I am sorry that I worried you girls, it won\'t happen again" I said with a smile on my face. The girls kept hugging me tightly and got up after a few minutes of cuddling on the floor.

"Now! Be a man and take your punishment!" five girls chorused while cracking their knuckles.

"Wait… we can talk this out" I said with a wry smile on my face but I was really scared inside seeing their evil grins on their faces.

"Oh… this is going to be so much fun" Luna chimed in and looked at me with pity in her eyes…
