It was around midnight Gabriel started stirring in his sleep. When he
opened his eyes he noticed it was quiet, too quiet. He called out
"computer lights half power". When he suddenly noticed he was in bed by
himself. He did not worry but asked the computer the location of
Delilah. It replied "There is no Delilah on file". "What the hell?"
confused he asked for the locations of the other three. A same style
response came from the computer stating that those three weren't on
file. He decided to go back to bed till mid morning calling the whole
thing with the computer a glitch.
When he awoke in the morning he noticed right off that something was
different, both with him and his surroundings. Gabriel had images of a
certain goth girl and a Scottish red head girl running through his mind.
He shook the images off and said while getting dressed "That's the last
time I fall asleep watching TV." He was even more confused when he
walked into the hallway.
"Ok what the fuck is going on, and where the fuck am I?"
It was his house but it was completely different. As he moved downstairs
he found the den. Gabriel went and sat down in the recliner. As he
looked at the big viewscreen on the wall, trying to locate his mates. A
dull pain in his head suddenly got worse until Gabriel just passed out
in the chair. When he awoke six hours later, It was like waking up out
of a haze. The way the house looked and the changes to himself, he
remembered those details and more as one would remember their own name.
As he looked at the viewscreen, a puzzled expression came across his
face. "Who are these people I was looking for and why?" he pondered as
the viewscreen displayed its current data. He ordered the computer to
terminate the search and asked to be patched through to Starfleet
Science Division. A second later a young junior grade lieutenant came
into view, "Lieutenant Burton here, how may I help you?" "Did you
receive any reports of any strange energy spikes or anything out of the
ordinary?" Gabriel asked. Burton tapped a few keys on his console "Nope,
may I ask why?" Gabriel's expression was blank "No, I just thought
something was wrong. Everything is alright though, sorry I bothered you
Gabriel out". Gabriel ended the communication link and restored the
image of a mountain range with the early sunrise peeking over the top of
the mountains.
X-Men Evolution dimension
At three o'clock in the morning, Xavier's home was quiet. In Rogue's
room, Rogue was having a strange dream. The only thing is, is that she
has been having the same dream for about a week. In her dreams there is
a man that she is involved with. The only thing is she has never seen
him before. She woke up as she heard a knock on her door. "Come in"
Rogue said wiping the sleep from her eyes. Kitty phased through the door
"It's like ten o'clock you need to get up. Are you still planning on
going into town with us?" "Ya, I'll be ready in an hour" Rogue replied
yawning. "OK" Kitty said as she phased through the door. "Why do I
always wake up when my dreams are just getting to the good part? All I
can remember is his face, and voice." Rogue thought as she got dressed
and went downstairs.
As Rogue walked through the rec room she saw Amara and Bobby making out
on the couch. Rogue cleared her throat noisily, startling the two "GET A
ROOM YOU TWO" she snapped. "God what's her problem" Amara said under her
breath so that only Bobby and her can hear.
While Rogue sat at the kitchen table eating a begal her mind started to
wander "My life sucks. I'll never be able to do what everyone else can
do in a real relationship. I know that deep down even Remy didn't care."
As she put her dish in the sink and jumped when Jubilee spoke from
behind her. "You coming, the others are waiting in the front foyer?"
Jubilee asked. "You all go on ahead I'd just like to be alone today."
Rogue spoke.
Star Trek dimension
Deep in the underground hanger on Gabriel's property Gabriel was
examining a sample from a Founder that the Federation captured during
the war. After mixing a bit of the sample with a mutagenic compound he
set the new mixture aside waiting to see if there was any reaction.
As he sat in the office chair memories started coming back a dream he
kept having. He couldn't remember what the dream was about but something
was driving him to find someone from the X-Men dimension. He didn't even
know if that dimension actually existed. He had about an hour before he
can check his experiment for results, so he decided to see if that other
universe existed or not. Gabriel extended his left arm towards the
computer. Two thin tubes shot from his forearm and connected to the
terminal slots on the computer console. After setting the search
parameters up on the computer the tubes retracted back into his forearm.
As he sat back thinking about his Borg inspired implants, he started
listing them off out loud "self teleportation, personal shields, phasing
cloak, the ability to interface with other technology, micro
tractor-beam emitter in my hands." He was lucky that none of the
implants showed on the outside of his body save for two tiny black dots
on the back of his left forearm where the interface tubes came out.
As Gabriel grabbed the beaker with the experiment and walked toward the
analyzer across the room. The beaker slipped from his grip and hit the
floor shattering on impact. "Son of a motherfucking bitch" he yelled as
he grabbed a towel and started cleaning the mess. "Fuck fuck fuck"
Gabriel said as a shard of glass cut him. He didn't even think about
sterilizing the cut as his nano-probes in his blood sealed the injury.
"Ah, to hell with it" he said in resignation as he finished cleaning up
and left the lab.
Around six PM as Gabriel was entering the den on the ground floor. When
suddenly his whole body filled with pain, and as he crumpled to the
floor the only words he got out were "Computer medical emergency". When
he woke up he found himself in the sick-bay of Starbase one. As he sat
up his body felt different somehow. As the doctor walked in she noticed
that Gabriel was awake and sitting up "Ah you're awake, my name is
Doctor Sarah Stone I need…" Gabriel cut her off mid sentence "What
happened, and why do I not feel right? Just get to the point" Sarah
looking a little irritated as she spoke "Basically your scans from last
time don't match up with the scans I took an hour ago. Your medical
files show that you are human with implants." Gabriel said "And now?"
Sarah continued "And now the scans say that you have a morphogenic
matrix comparable to a changeling. Your implants instead being
individualized and outside your cells now exist at the cellular level."
Shocked Gabriel asked "Is this permanent?" already knowing the answer.
"I'm afraid so." Replied Sarah using the same tone of voice as if she
was telling somebody they had a terminal disease. "Don't make it sound
so bad I could actually like this change and besides that I gained a new
ability" Gabriel said while getting to his feet. "Well you seem to be
fit medically so I am letting you go home" Sarah said. "Thanks doc" and
with that Gabriel teleported to his room in his house.
As Gabriel realized it was after midnight he got out of his clothes. He
was about ready to put on his night clothes when he realized "Duh I'm a
Changeling now I don't need clothes" Never morphing before, he
concentrated on his appearance. A second later he looked fully dressed
in his night clothes. "Shit red hot! It worked!" he said in excitement.
"I'll try changing my whole self when I wake up."
Shared Dream
As Gabriel slept that dream he has been having for the last week started
to play through his mind again. He was on the starship Avenger in his
quarters, but he was not alone. A young woman in her upper teens was
standing across the room in the doorway to the bathroom. She was dressed
only in a black T-shirt and thong. She had a distinct white stripe
running through her dark auburn hair. He saw her clearly this time and
knew exactly who she was. It's just then that Gabriel notices he is as
naked as the day he was born. As the woman he knows as Rogue walks to
the bed and lies down on her side, Gabriel walks over and joins her.
Rogue wrapped her arms around Gabriel's neck and pulled him in close for
a passionate kiss, as Gabriel's right hand moved up and down Rogue's
inner thigh. When they broke the kiss for air, Gabriel helped Rogue out
of her clothes. Gabriel started rubbing her left breast as he kissed her
neck and collar bone, eliciting a moan of pleasure from Rogue. As they
shared another passionate kiss Gabriel's hand moved down her body
leaving goose flesh in its wake. As he teased the tender flesh between
her thighs, Rogue moaned loudly as one of Gabriel's fingers entered her.
Rogue moved her hand down Gabriel's body till her hand wrapped around
his erection and started up and down with vigor. As they continued their
ministrations to each other, they were getting closer to climax.
X- Men Evolution dimension
As Rogue awoke, she cried out Gabriel's name and sat up quickly. Her
body was covered in a thin bead of sweat. Suddenly the door flew open
and Logan barreled in claws extended. Seeing no danger Logan retracted
his claws "I heard you yell and thought it was one of the brotherhood
breaking in. Well I'll leave you be. Get a shower and meet me outside
the Danger Room at eleven." "I need to speak with the professor, it's
kinda important" Rogue said. "Fine just don't be too late" Logan said
shutting the door as he left.
After Rogue took a shower and got dressed she walked downstairs toward
the study wondering what she is going to say. As she walked into the
study Xavier told her to sit down motioning to a chair. After sitting
down Rogue told the Professor everything leaving out the sexual part of
her story. A moment later the professor spoke "I've detected a strange
energy pattern on Cerebro. Maybe it has something to do with this dream
you're having, but I doubt it." Rogue stood and thanked him for taking
the time to talk with her. "Don't worry we'll get to the bottom of this
somehow" he reassured her.
Star Trek dimension
"Shit shit shit shit shit that was a good dream. But why was it slightly
different this time?" Gabriel said. Gabriel walked over to the computer
terminal and brought up the search results for the X-Men Evolution
universe and the diagnostic reports on the interdimensional
communication array. "Son of a bitch that universe does exist and what
the fuck is this? Interdimensional array is phase locked recommend
reinitializing the array. No shit Sherlock" he said while punching in
the commands to reinitialize the array. "Reinitialization complete,
interdimensional communications array is online" the computer said.
Gabriel wondered what dimension the communication array was stuck on,
and started going through the logs. While he still had the dimensional
coordinates for the X-Men universe on the screen, he used the other half
the screen to thumb through the log. "Shit on me!" Gabriel took a second
look. The coordinates from the search matched those from the log.
"Computer, contact the Federation Science Division and tell then I will
not be around for a long while. Bring the Avenger's systems online and
start the preflight checks."
Gabriel thought "Just in case it was some strange psychic connection to
Rogue through his malfunctioning interdimensional array and other
forces. I better change my appearance to look like someone else, at
least when I first arrive."
