Part 31
Not surprisingly, Shaw has been furious.
He made sure all their homes were thoroughly ransacked.
All their families and known associates questioned and threatened or bribed.
He knows where they are, but he hasn't the balls to outright march up to Stark Industries and demand his 'property' back. Yet.
~x~
Tony I-touched-the-Iron-Man Stark, or most likely Ms. Potts has graciously allowed them all to stay at his mansion within Stark Industries for as long as they need.
They have even gone as far as offering everyone new and better jobs at Stark Industries.
Having always been good with mechanics and engineering, but lacking the credentials, Erik was placed together with McCoy in Tony He-wears-a-size-9 Stark's private team in charge the Iron Man project.
He still has trouble looking McCoy in the eye, or anywhere below his belt.
~x~
Erik can't put in words what this feeling is. He doesn't think he's ever felt like this.
This complete sense of serenity.
During one of his nightly games of chess with Charles, Erik suddenly realized what this feeling was.
It was love. Not only for Charles as his soul mate. But also a new found family.
Well shit.
Part 32
Warnings: M content
It has been over a month since they broke Charles out of that prison.
He has now made a full recovery.
And they've been going at it like bunnies. Bunnies high on pills, shooting porn.
Erik is still making up for his little mishap. And Charles likes it kinky.
~x~
Not that Erik doesn't love the sex. He really, tremendously, unfaultingly does.
But his favorite part of their time together is just relaxing with one another. Getting to know one another.
Not that Erik would ever say no to some late afternoon blindfolding.
~x~
"-fuck..." Charles was riding atop, holding down Erik's hands.
"Shit, shit...fuuuuccckkk.." He circles up slowly until Erik is almost about to pop out, then slams down hard and deep, making his balls slap against Charles' slippery cheeks.
{"Erik...you feel.. !..ohhh."} Charles was moaning loudly in his mind, and out of it. It was like having two of him there.
"Yeah, like that. Ride it baby."
Charles picked up his pace. Erik can just picture his perfect bubble butt flapping up and down his thick shaft.
"Kee-p going baby, s-o close"
{"Yesyesyesyesyeah yeahyeah Oh!"}
"Maus, don't sto-p baby.."
"Charles?"
Erik takes his blindfold off to find Charles asleep on top of him, come and spore splattered all over between their stomachs.
Erik is still hard. Still inside him.
Well shit.
Part 33
"I have reliable sources saying that Shaw has been cozying up to his friends in Congress. Especially Senator Kelly."
Ms. Potts looked more concerned than usual. Must be bad.
"I believe Frost is seeking political ties, as representative of Genosha."
By now, all those who matter know just what and who Charles.
"She can't, not while Charles is here. Genosha won't recognize it. She's got nothing...unless.."
Raven suddenly goes pale.
{"She is carrying my child."}
~x~
"She forced herself on you?" Erik was seconds away from shattering the glass between his hands.
{"Luckily she was equally repulsed by me as I her. She had a doctor extract my semen surgically."}
~x~
"If they're forming political allies then they're planning for you to be dead."
Erik has never seen Tony He-drinks-out-of-the-carton Stark so serious before.
"You may have an unborn child involved. How far are you willing to take this?"
{"A child born to an unmated Genoshan will have it worse than one born to a widow..."}
{"I will not let it be born."}
Well shit.
Part 34
As the months went by, it became very clear Shaw had made good friends with Senators Kelly and Stern. Two highly influential figures.
Stern was no stranger to Stark Industries. Even before all this, he seemed to have made it a personal mission to derail the company.
{"He views Stark Industries as having too much of a monopoly, that and Tony just needs to be brought down a few notches."}
{"Kelly on the other hand, sees an alliance with Frost as something he can use to gain more power."}
~x~
McCoy has been extremely busy clocking overtime, building what he has named 'Cerebro'.
A massive dome structure that amplifies Charles' telepathy.
With Cerebro, Charles was not only able to keep tabs on Kelly and Stern, and curb their influence in the Senate, but also nudge them in a more impartial direction.
~x~
Charles was ruthless.
He was unable to each into either Frost's or Shaw's mind. Their associates, however, were fair game.
Any matter with a hint of Frost or Shaw, he would leave them no choice but to give up. He was stripping them ally by ally, asset by asset.
~x~
Sometimes Charles would spend hours within Cerebro, refusing to eat or rest.
When he became especially aggravated the whole building where Cerebro is located would vibrate, and static energy would rise out of nowhere.
Charles wanted to flush Frost out as soon as possible. But the search had come to a halt. They somehow had just vanished.
That night, the windows of the building liquefied.
Not even Raven has seen Charles this infuriated.
Well shit.
Part 35
In the end, it was Frost who made contact.
~x~
"Charles? What's wrong?"
{"Frost."}
Erik suddenly feels a chilling presence in his mind.
["It's been a while, sugar."] Her voice felt like ice crackling.
~x~
{"I'm impressed, I didn't think you had such a range."}
["Condescendence is certainly a trait of the Xaviers."]
"Cut the crap Frost, what the hell do you and Shaw want?"
["I'm going to offer you a trade"]
"What could you possibly have that we would want?"
Charles' eyes suddenly doubled in size, {"Erik-"}
["The twins in exchange for Charles Xavier."]
{"Erik, listen to m-"}
"You're making Shaw give up his own children? You sick bitch!"
["They are yours."]
...What?
["I made her swap the DNA samples. She still has no idea."]
["It was part of my deal with Shaw. He gives me Xavier, and I give him the one woman he's ever loved. Pathetic, isn't it."]
"You think I'm going to believe you?"
["What do you say, Xavier."]
Charles looks distraught, {"Erik...she is telling the truth.."}
Well shit.
