Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:

Jestalnaker94000: I was thinking Gerard Butler, so that way if something says this is madness he can reply "THIS IS MARVEL!"

Adtr509: It happened before this event so Silver is sort of dead but not really dead she's just faking it. If Peter or Psylocke do end up becoming a thing, it will admittedly take a long time to form any sense of trust, at least on Peter's part but like I said in regards to Peter and Carol's current predicament, makes the relationship seem more real. Add some legit drama instead of 'oh I love the guy no matter what', now it's more of 'I love him but…'

keyblade master cole: Yeah it might even though Peter would technically be the telepath of the harem.

Dark King Marcel: Betsy wanted Warren AND the people he killed as Archangel to be restored, she wasn't doing this just to save one person, plus it can be argued she was fighting to save her species that numbered at like two hundred or one hundred ninety-nine now. Technically it was the combined actions of Peter losing control of the Phoenix, Magik having a hand in the former's loss of control, T'Challa offering to provide sanctuary to Peter knowing that it could come back and bite him in the ass and Namor flooding the city that caused that girl's parents and others to die. So really in a sick way it was a group effort. Colossus is out hiding somewhere in Russia, lost and disillusioned with things, we won't be seeing him for a while in any real capacity except for the occasional mention or cameo maybe. Plus, like in the comics he's learned that his sister could have freed him of Cyttorak's influence this whole time but never did. So, knowing that Magik lied to her brother about freeing him from a powerful cosmic demon that thrives off of destruction and never helped him after all this time kind of gives one an idea as to wheatear she regrets her actions or not.

MCRasengan: Basically, Marvel's version of Dark Matter that could make one that taps into it an Alpha level threat according to Reed Richards. There's almost nothing detailed about it aside from like the four pages where people are given a rough idea of what it could do for someone, so that leaves plenty of room to work with in its limitations and advantages.

Spawn Hades: Not really, I mean on a few occasions some of them will come with him but they will for the most part be staying on earth.

gunman: Pietro showing up like that, that was just good old Parker Luck bargaining in and saying 'WAIT… not yet'. Yeah, this Unity Squad has some rather strong personalities in it that'll make it's dynamic rather interesting to see unfold.

OmniPlanckInstant: Peter's back in K'un-Lun still, learning the best he can as we'll be seeing.

Ryzlow: Peter Parker and Wanda Maximoff having a kid… move over Franklin Richards, there's a new super powerhouse mutant kid on the block. God help the Multiverse if he has a meltdown like his mother did.

Superstar Kid: Both lost control and in the ensuring chaos, someone they considered a friend died. Simon's reaction to Peter and Wanda's relationship and even with Carol will be… interesting.

Newavenger92: Yeah in a future story I'd pair them together.

Erofox: Black Cat may be the better choice at the moment between the two women but that could change.

90skid4life: Well it's not like she knew what Namor had planned or that Wolverine was going to get killed because her teammate that's the ruler of a hellish domain was actually dumb enough to piss off a guy with a cosmic entity inside him that at it's peak could level a good chunk of the multiverse if pushed far enough.

MooNight-Winter: Peter with the power of the Phoenix in the DC universe along with Wanda that would act as a sort of alternate route to this story… how the hell has that idea slipped past me… Kaine might have a harem in this story, for now it's just him being placed next to certain women and see if people like the idea of him with said woman.

Warning: Lemon towards the middle of this chapter!

Wanda couldn't help but smile as she watched Peter going through his telekinetic exercise with greater ease then the last few times. The rings under his eyes were now more faded because he was getting longer, better nights of sleep the past few days. Wanda glanced around the room that she and Peter were using to see if Danny had arrived yet, he was strangely absent today when he's usually the first one to arrive and giving her and Peter hell for being late.

'Maybe he had a good night. Man acts like he hasn't gotten laid in months' Wanda thought with a chuckle before she heard a loud cracking sound and turned to see that Peter had several stone collided with each other and remain stuck together as they orbited his sitting form.

"You're doing much better today" Wanda said as she watched the stones rotate around Peter at varying speeds and in different directions.

"No, I'm not" Peter said with a snort "I'm using my telepathy to make it seem like I am when in reality these rocks are dragging across the floor"

"Well then at least your mental manipulations will have improved if you can pull such a feat off" Wanda said with a grin.

"Heh, silver lining somewhere" Peter said with a smile before his face contorted into a small frown as the rocks around him began to slow down or stop entirely and it wasn't his doing "What the-"

"You need to work on strengthening your telekinetic grip on whatever objects your manipulating"

Wanda jumped at the voice speaking up behind her and looked to see Psylocke herself standing there with a small frown on her face while Danny hung back with a watchful look on his own half covered face. Well that likely explained why he was late today, he was apparently meeting with Betsy here.

"Betsy?" Wanda voiced in surprise "What are you doing here?"

Betsy crossed her arms as she turned towards Peter briefly before speaking "I've been tasked with helping Spider-man here improve and enhance his psionic abilities"

Wanda frowned at that "Is that so?"

"Would you have preferred Rachel?" Betsy asked.

"No" Wanda said with a shake of her head "I'm just surprised you volunteered is all"

"I have my reasons" Betsy said with a shrug as she walked pass Wanda while cracking her knuckles "Plus it's not like I could say no after waking up on a Quinn Jet flying over the Atlantic and inbound for Asia with a hangover and a tablet from Headmistress Pryde telling me I have to do this"

Wanda hummed at that as she watched Betsy come stand before Peter and look him over with a careful eye. Finally, after several minutes she spoke as she looked Peter in the eye.

"Tell me what your telepathic and telekinetic exercises consist of"

Peter blinked at the request before he rubbed the back of his neck "Well um, I normally have to move a bunch of stuff that vary in size and weight and move them in complicated patterns at different speeds. As for the telepathy part, I just talk to Wanda or Danny, but with my mind and stuff… We've been trying to find me a telepath strong enough for me to have like those mental things that I did with Xavier for a while back in Wakanda to improve my defenses and stuff but well… kinda hard to"

Betsy hummed at that "What about when you spar with others? Do you use your new found psionic powers in conjuncture with your own spider based abilities or do you rely more on one or the other?"

"I've… been trying to blend the two" Peter said as he rubbed his hands "I've started to make those psi-webs that Spider-woman used to make"

Betsy's eyes narrowed slightly in confusion "Spider-woman can make psi-webs? I thought she could only produce bioelectric energy blasts"

"The other one I meant" Peter clarified before he let out a cough "Then one that was in the black suit but now goes by Madam Web, her powers are more psionic based then Jess's"

"Oh" Betsy sounded before she glanced at Wanda "Anything else? Cosmic fire, flight, minor or major reality warping? Anything that previous hosts have used in the past?"

"Not to my knowledge" Wanda replied with a small frown.

"So, he's yet to even begin to truly tap into what the Phoenix can offer him?" Betsy asked with a slight frown.

Wanda held Betsy's gaze for a moment before she adverted her gaze "We thought that it'd be best to take things slow. Last thing Peter needs is to be overwhelmed by its power…"

Betsy hummed at that as she approached Peter and began to circle the man with a critical eye before she came to a stop in front of him "I'm going to be honest with you Spider-man"

"Something tells me you will be regardless" Peter said dryly.

Betsy snorted at that before her face sobered and gave the man a slightly colder expression "I don't want to be here and honestly I'd rather it be Xavier that's here teaching you but sadly what I want hasn't meant shit these past few years to the universe at large"

"Hey that's something we have in common" Peter said with a chuckle before it died as he saw the dark look Betsy gave him "Sorry..."

Betsy's eyes narrowed even further before she continued "I'm going to push you, I'm not going to hold your hand or give you words of encouragement when things look tough because you're a grown ass man and more than smart enough to figure things out on your bloody well own. You want to eventually leave this place and have some sense of control over the Phoenix correct?"

"Yes…" Peter nodded.

"Good, so when I give you an instruction I expect you to listen, when I tell you when and where our training sessions will take place I expect you there half an hour early ready to proceed and at no point are you allowed to question my methods" Betsy said before she suddenly stepped in close to Peter's surprised face with a hard look "Is what I just said in any way unclear?"

Peter shook his head "Uh nope, your crystal clear or like air clear, clean air because you know that haze and smog can cloud it and when you think about it most crystals aren't really clear, in fact a lot of them are rather opaque in design and-"

Peter was suddenly cut off as Betsy closed her hand over his mouth with an annoyed look, much to Wanda's annoyance.

"First lesson, shut the bloody hell up unless I say otherwise" Betsy said with a sigh as she stepped back and detached the scabbard that held her sword and went to place it against the wall before she cracked her neck "Second lesson is forming more solid psionic constructs outside your little webs"

"Like what?" Peter said as Betsy suddenly formed a katana with purple energy "Oh… does it have to be a sword?"

"I'll be using this as an example, if you want to make one later that's fine. But for now, we're start with the basics" Betsy said as she shouldered her psionic blade "Now form a small ball…"

Wanda made her way over towards Danny as Peter began to create a small ball made of red psionic energy and nodded towards Psylocke "Can I assume she's the reason why your late?"

"Yes" Danny said with a nod as he leaned against a wooden column, honestly Wanda was beginning to think they were put there for just that purpose "The big shots are getting a little uneasy with how slow Peter's progression has been going"

Wanda fronted at that as she glanced over to see that Peter had formed a descent sized ball of psionic energy and showed it for Betsy to examine "We're going as fast as we can"

"I know, believe me and I don't feel like pushing Peter too far too quickly but we may not have that luxury anymore" Danny said.

Wanda didn't like the way Danny said that "Is something wrong?"

"No, not yet…" Danny said as he rubbed the back of his head "But just a few days ago, SWORD scanners picked up a Shi'ar scout ship on the edge of our solar system…"

"What did they want?" Wanda said with an unsettled look.

"What do you think, they wanted to see if the Phoenix had destroyed the earth or not" Danny said as he glanced out the window towards the city "And chances are they've already discovered that Peter is now the new host of the Phoenix which means-"

"Their likely planning to neutralize him" Wanda said with dread.

Danny nodded "It's a possibility. Granted the Shi'ar may not but it's best that Peter has some semblance of control when he emerges from here. A lot of powers both on earth and in the universe, will be watching him very closely in the coming years"

Wanda nodded at that before she and Danny turned to see Betsy instructing Peter how to make his psionic ball affect a person's psyche. After a few minutes Wanda sighed and glanced at Danny.

"Any word on my father's whereabouts?"

"No…" Danny shook his head with a frown "Along with Magik and Colossus. Namor last I heard is still in Atlantis"

Wanda nodded at this as the two resumed watching Betsy direct Peter in how to use a psionic weapon against another telepath as she took several steps back and motioned for him to attack.

…

It was just nearing midnight that Peter found himself lying on his bed, his body and mind sore in ways he didn't even think were possible, even in his line of work where pulling off the impossible was sort of a requirement or at least expected at some point down the line for a hero or villain.

He had just been released from a six hour long intense session with Betsy and Peter has never felt so drained in his life, well from a training session at least. Peter thought his training with Wanda and Danny in how to use his more psionic based powers were tough but under Betsy's direction, he felt like he just went nine rounds with Thor when he didn't have the power of the Phoenix and the blonde-haired Norse god wasn't holding back at all… and lost each round!

'Ugh, my head hurts in ways I didn't even know it could be!' Peter mentally grown as it felt like a migraine was coming on from the intense telepathic fights he had with Betsy that were similar to what he did with Xavier in that she would try to breach his mind and he had to stop her.

'And now that I think about it, which hurts like hell, Xavier was really, and I mean really going easy on me' Peter thought as he rubbed his brow in attempt to stem the pain a little 'Also who knew fights on the astral plane could be so intense!'

Still, while today's training was brutal, he did learn a few things, some in rather remarkable speed according to Betsy. The one new skill he was learning and was making the most headway in aside from psionic constructs was being able to make telepathic illusions, rather 'shoddy' ones according to her, but still impressive in their own right and as time goes on, according to her and even Wanda, he may be able to make them into reality with the power of the Phoenix.

Another thing that he's learned under Betsy's teaching was the ability to mask himself from other telepaths. Granted he hasn't mastered it to a level where he could hide from people as powerful as Betsy, Xavier or Emma Frost, but any run of the mill telepath would need something akin to Cerebra to find him.

It was then that Peter heard someone at his door before it was silently opened and a figure slipped inside. Peter sat up in his bed and looked to see who entered and was greeted to the sight of Wanda with only a loose robe on her. He didn't need x-ray vision to see that she had nothing on underneath the red cloth as she gave him a small smile before she let the robe slip from her shoulders.

'…Whoa…' Peter thought with wide eyes as he took in Wanda's appearance.

While the two have continued their yoga lessons with each other and Wanda's attire usually being roughly the same as it was before, he's never seen her completely naked before. And based on the look she had on her face, she wasn't here for heavy groping and intense kissing like the last several times she's come into his room or occasionally he into her's these past few days.

Peter swallowed nervously as Wanda steadily approached him and cupped his face before she spoke in a slight unsure tone "Is this a little sudden?"

Peter stared at her for a moment, struggling not to look below the neck before he licked his lips nervously "Kinda, but knida not. I mean for me this seems a little sudden, n-not that I'm saying you're going too fast or anything, it's just I'm not used to relationships progressing this fast is all-" At that Peter winced and he mentally slapped himself "Wait no, that somehow sounds worse. Look, what I meant was that-"

He was suddenly cut off by Wanda slamming her lips into his, effectively shutting him up. Peter was taken back by the action before he let Wanda's tongue into his mouth while he cupped the back of her head. After a few moments the two broke away to catch their breath, both lightly panting. Wanda cupped the side of Peter's face as she leaned in again and gave him another small kiss on the lips before she began to trail downwards, kissing his cheek, his jaw, then his neck until she reached his shirt's collar.

She scowled playfully at him before she grabbed the edge of it and began to lift it up. Peter helped her and tossed the fabric away. Once it was freed from his torso it allowed Wanda to begin rubbing her hands across his chest and shoulders. She licked her lips at the solid feel of his muscles before she began to kiss around his collar bone while Peter's hands made their way up her arms and cupped her breasts. Peter had one of his fingers drag across her nipple, causing the mutant beauty to gasp at the friction before she pressed herself tightly against Peter. The resulting action caused him to fall back on to the bed with her on top of him. The two laughed as their heads bumped gently against the others.

Wanda pushed herself up until she was straddling Peter's waist and looked down at the man with a small grin as she grinded her lower lips against the obvious erection he possessed from their actions.

"Someone's excited" Wanda teased as she ran a hand across his chest.

"Well…" Peter said as his hands trialed up to her waist and gripped each side "When a beautiful woman like yourself comes in dressed in nothing and starts to kiss and grind up against him, it does tend to cause a reaction like that"

"Oh, so what reaction will I get if I do this?" Wanda asked with a coy look as she slowly slid off Peter's waist until she was on her knees beside the bed and parted his legs before she reached up for the draw string around his pants and undid it before she began to slowly pull the fabric down.

Peter helped her remove his pants by raising his hips a little and watched as Wanda gasped as his erection came free. She carefully reached out and touched it with one hand, causing Peter to shiver at the feel of her cool hand on his cock.

"Wow…" Wanda said with surprise as she pumped the warm flesh with her hand "It's bigger than I thought it'd be…"

At that Peter gave her an odd look "Wait, you were imagining my dick's size?"

Wanda gave him a sheepish smile "To be fair, half the girls on the Avengers team used to get together and we'd guess how big someone like you would be"

Peter gave her a worried look, his pride at the point where it'd swell like a sponge in water or break like one of Banners shot glasses that he's been collecting after he Hulk's out accidently "And where did I fall, just curious is all…"

Wanda giggled as she leaned up and gave the tip of his cock a small kiss that caused Peter to shiver "Don't worry… you were more often said to be bigger than Pym ever was…"

Peter's brow furrowed at that "I was, but how could that be? I mean I'd rather not get into this topic right now, or well ever buuuuuut…"

Peter trailed off as Wanda suddenly took Peter's entire head into her warm moist moth and gave the sensitive tip a hard suck that caused his hips to buck in response, much to her delight and amusement. She gave his prick a few kisses along the tip before she trailed up and down the length with her tongue for the next few minutes, teasing taking him all that way into her mouth before pulling back suddenly to expose his sensitive cock to the cool air.

Wanda smirked up ate Peter as she ran her hand up and down his length again before she took him all the way back into her mouth and bobbed her head up and down. Her tongue lashed at the sides while her hands trailed up and down his thighs before one rested on his balls and fondled them and the other gripped his thigh. Peter groaned as Wanda proceeded to deep throat his prick, the tip entering her throat and causing her to gag briefly before she adjusted and presumed to suck his entire length as hard as she could manage.

Peter gripped the sides of Wanda's face and looked into her amused eyes as he pulled her head up until only the tip of his dick was between her lips and suddenly thrusted all the way back in until her nose was pressed against the base of his groin. Wanda let out a muffled moan as she let Peter guide her head again until his tip was between her lips and thrusted back in again and again until he started to set a fast pace rhythm. The room was soon filled with the sounds of Wanda's lewd sucking as Peter faced fucked her as hard as he would dare.

Peter eventually stopped his thrusting and allowed Wanda to bob her head up and down his length again and stimulated it with a series of hard sucks and licks before she finally released him and jacked him off with her one free hand as she gazed up at Peter with drool running down her chin and on to her tits.

"You like that Peter, my plump lips wrapped around this nice hard cock of yours? Trying to suck all of that built up cum in these balls of yours?" Wanda said as she gave each testicle a hard kiss that caused Peter to moan.

"Yeah…" Peter said as his hands trail through Wanda's dark brown hair.

Wanda shook her head with a small smile before she gave his cock a lick from the base and all the way up to the very top as she continued to increase the friction of her handjob on his shaft while her other hand reached down to his balls and began to rub them.

Wanda pulled her head back from her new lover's sex organ and leaned up to capture the man's lips with her own. Peter's tongue reached into her mouth and quickly met resistance in the form of the near cosmic level mutant's own tongue. An unspoken challenge seemed to have been made as the kissing became more heated as the two tried to overpower the other. Wanda while lacking in the experience compared to Peter was more than a match for his quip producing tongue. Finally, after several intense moments the two parted for a combination of air and Wanda rising higher up until her breasts were leveled with Peter's face. The daughter of Magneto smiled as she took Peter's face in her hands and brought it before one of her tits.

"Suck…" she said as her eyes glowed scarlet.

Peter grinned as he latched on to the erect bud and gave the sensitive flesh a hard suck that caused Wanda to gasp and arch herself into Peter more. Peter had his other hand snake up Wanda's body and towards her other tit before gripping it firmly. Wanda moaned at the rough handling of her fleshy orb as Peter lightly bit her nipple with his canines, causing her to yelp in surprise. Peter chuckled as he released her breast and moved to attack the other with equal ferocity. Wanda's fingers trialed through Peter's hair as she grinded her wet sex against his hardened shaft, almost wishing he'd just throw her to the ground and enter her like an animal. The thought of him doing so made her wetter and caused the hex powered woman to rip Peter from her breasts and crash her lips into his.

Peter cupped the back of Wanda's head as he on his back, the mutant beauty's hair fell on either side of their heads as a result, acting as a curtain for them. Wanda's glowing eyes offered a small bit off illumination for the two as they gazed at one another with a combination of lust and longing. Peter felt Wanda's wet slit press up against his shaft which in turn caused him to shiver as the moist entrance slowly rose towards the tip.

"You ready for this?" Peter asked as he reached down and helped align his cock's tip against her eager snatch. He inserted the very tip of his head into the warm hole and caused Wanda to shudder at feeling.

"Yes…" Wanda breathed out before Peter slowly entered her.

She gritted her teeth in slightly pain as her pussy's walls parted for his cock, having been some time since she's had anything venture so far that wasn't her fingers. Her fingers raked against his chest and her toes curled in ecstasy and pain as Peter's cock continued to push through until it finally came to a stop against her cervix. The two remained still as they took in the feeling of being joined after several days of teasing and promises.

Wanda gave Peter a small kiss on the lips before she pushed herself up and brushed her hair out of her face and rested her palms against Peter's chest and began to slowly rock her hips. Peter's hands moved towards Wanda's breasts and began to lightly grope the supple mounds as Wanda smiled down at her lover. Peter gave her a small smirk that peeked her interest before suddenly Peter rolled them over and he was on top of her. Wanda's eyes widened at the action and before she could move them back, Peter gave her a hard, long thrust that nearly took her breath away as pleasure rushed through her body.

"Ah!" Wanda sounded as Peter pulled back and thrusted into her core again. She squeezed her eyes shut as Peter began to hump into her body with long hard thrusts while her legs slid up and wrapped themselves around his waist.

Peter took that as a sign to begin picking up the pace of his thrusts and began to move faster and faster. Wanda moaned as Peter's cock speared into her again and again in rapid succession before she was muffled by a searing kiss from the spider powered man. Wanda's tongue didn't waste any time in meeting with Peter's own and even managed to push his back into his own mouth as she deepened the kiss, a struggle given that her body shook from each thrust.

Peter's hands didn't remain idle as one ran up and down one of Wanda's thighs, gripping the toned muscle it was made of while the other reached up to one of her breast that were pushed tightly against his chest and gave it a light squeeze with his thumb rubbing along the underside of the supple flesh. Wanda's pants began to turn into a series of yelps, moans and curses as Peter fucked her, his cock shooting in and out of her like a piston on an engine.

"Oh god… oh god… fuck!" Wanda mewed as Peter broke the kiss and began to suck on her neck.

Peter grunted as he buried his face in Wanda's neck, peppering it with kisses and licks while she breathed into his ear and occasionally nibbled on it in delight. After several moments Peter's cock found her G-spot and Wanda was quick to show by clenching his hardened member even harder with her vaginal walls.

"Yes… oh god yes that's perfect don't stop… yes, yes, yes, yes, yes… oh god yes right there…" Wanda began to chant in Peter's ear as he hit the same spot over and over again, intent on making her cum. Wanda did her best to meet his thrusts with her own by his body's weight kept her down. The best she could do was trail her hands across his back and sides as he left a series of light kisses on her jaw while both of his hands gripped her waist and pulled her harder into his thrusts, causing her to yelp in delight.

She then used every ounce of physical strength that she possessed and rolled the two over until they were on the very edge of the bed and Wanda was once again straddling Peter's waist, his cock still buried securely in her pussy. Wanda grinned down at Peter as she began to bounce up and down his length, her breasts jiggling from the action and drawing him into a sort of trance. Wanda laughed as Peter looked at her star struck while she rode him. She could feel her orgasm coming as she changed up her tactics and instead rolled her hips on a series of circles while she too Peter's hands in her own and placed them up against her heaving breasts. Peter gripped the mounds of flesh and gave them a hard squeeze as Wanda's hips moved back and forth.

"Yes… yes that's perfect…" Wanda gasped as she felt herself about to cum under their fucking before suddenly Peter flipped hem both over and began to hammer into her wet snatch as if his life depended on it.

The sudden increase in pleasure caused Wanda to scream as Peter humped into her body with enough force that it almost caused her to yell in pain. The thought that he could hurt her like this oddly enough seemed to turn her on even more as she bit into Peter's shoulder as one of his thrusts hit her G-spot again and caused her to cum, hard.

Wanda's vision went black almost as she finally hit the cusp of her orgasm and was forced to release Peter's shoulder from her mouth as she gave out a yell that she could be bothered to stifle. Her nails dug into Peter's back to the point she swore that it pierced his skin and drew blood as she tried to pull the man as close into her as she possibly could and for a brief moment cursed that her large breasts were keeping him bay if only slightly.

Peter grunted at the pain he was in briefly while he buried his face in Wanda's neck and gave her smooth sweat covered skin a hard bite in return for the one she gave him moments ago. The action caused her to moan in a combination of pain and pleasure as he hit his own orgasm and began to shoot ropes of his cum into her hot quivering body. Several moments passed before he felt his ejaculation come to an end and pulled back to see he left a large bite mark that he knows will be visible tomorrow.

Peter chuckled as he rested his head against Wanda's while they laid there in a sweaty embrace. Wanda smiled weakly as she let Peter's weight rest on her before she gave him a small kiss on the brow and rubbed his back and briefly wondering if the moisture she was feeling on his back was sweat, blood or both.

"Amazing…" she breathed with a tired grin as she had her pussy's walls give him a weak squeeze that caused him to lightly thrust into her again.

"So…" Peter started as he tried to catch his breath "…Now what?"

Wanda let out a sigh of content "Now… we rest… afterwards… another few… rounds?"

Peter couldn't help but laugh as he slowly rolled off Wanda's body and laid down next to her and let the mutant beauty curl up against him "Sure… sure…"

Wanda grinned as she earned up and captured Peter's lips with her own before she rested her head on his chest and listened to his powerful heartbeat echo through his chest as the two caught their breath for the next round, and perhaps the round after that...

…

Meanwhile, thousands of miles to the west in the county of Westchester New York, In the darkened halls of the Jean Grey school, a lone figure was silently roaming its large empty corridors, their footsteps barely making a sound as they connected with the floor. As the figure passed the occasional light or window that allowed the light of the half full moon in, one would notice the figure was a young female clad in what looked to be some sort of leather jacket over a white tank top and flannel pajama pants.

The figure was Laura Kinney, the female clone slash daughter of the late James Howlett, more commonly known as Logan, the Wolverine.

Her hair was a mess and her eyes were still bloodshot from the amount of crying she's been doing and her skin was pale from locking herself in a room with the windows covered and the lights off for almost several weeks now. It was the need to finally eat that drove the girl out of her late father's room. While her healing factor was powerful, even more so then her father's given it's not hindered by fighting the sheer amount of metal in her body like it was Logan's, it still needed to be replenished in a sense by nourishment.

Laura kept her ears opened for any other sounds that didn't belong to her, few as they maybe, she wasn't in the mood to deal with others at the moment.

'I probably never will…' Laura thought as she neared the kitchen before she came to a sudden stop, her ears and nose picking up someone inside and moving around. It only took seconds for Laura to identify the person inside as Evan Sabanur.

'Genesis…' Laura thought with slight surprise at smelling and hearing the clone of Apocalypse up this late. She silently made her way towards the entryway of the kitchen and peered in to see the young teen sitting at the kitchen's single island counter, reading from a tablet.

Laura couldn't see what he was reading but thought nothing of it as she entered the kitchen and made her way towards the refrigerator. She opened the door and searched for something that would state her hunger for the moment before she decided on several apples of various colors and gathered them in her hands before turning to leave. It was then that Laura got a brief look at the screen Evan had in front of him and she paused at the image displayed.

En Sabah Nur… Apocalypse…

Laura paused in her step long enough for Evan to notice her before giving her a small nod "Hi…"

"…Hi" Laura said as she held Evan's gaze before it went back to the screen "Light reading?"

"Something like that" Evan said with a small sigh "…I'm not blind you know"

"I never said you were" Laura replied with a small frown.

"I'm not dumb either" Evan said as he placed the tablet on the counter and ran a hand over his face and turned towards Laura with a slightly saddened expression "I see how people look at me, what they say about me…"

"And what is it do they say about you?" Laura questioned as she approached the counter and sat down beside Evan and took a bit of one of the apples in her hands.

Evan's response was to show her the image of En Sabah Nur standing with his four horsemen "My apparent future… will be hell on earth for everyone"

"You don't know that" Laura commented with a small sigh.

"Quentin Quire seems to think differently" Evan said as he went back to reading more on one of the X-men's most powerful and brutal adversaries "According to him and others that he said are too scared to voice their thoughts, I'm Apocalypse reincarnated and it's only a matter of time before I go around asking people to be my own horsemen and help advance this world's evolutionary pace with a combination of mass murder and genetic tampering with Celestial technology"

"Quentin is a jackass" Laura said with a slight scowl at mentioning the Omega level mutant's name.

"But he raises a good point" Evan said as he stared at the image of his predecessor before he switched the screen off and placed the tablet on the table and looked up at Laura "How are you holding up?"

Laura's reply to Evan's question was met with silence as she stared at him with a blank expression. After a few seconds Evan nodded awkwardly as he adverted his gaze "Right… sorry… that was rude, and careless I shouldn't have-"

"It's fine" Laura said as she stared down at the table with a frown "It's not the first time I lost a parent"

The two sat there for what felt like hours, each wondering if the other was going to start up another conversation or maybe leave, preferably the latter. It was then she suddenly heard muffled movement. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to zero in on the sounds before she began to pick up multiple scents that didn't belong here. Laura slowly got up from her stool, much to Evan's surprise as he saw the look on Laura's face.

"What is it?"

"Shh…" Laura said as she slowly approached the hallway before looking down both sides and realized that the sounds and noises were coming from both sides.

Her hands slowly morphed into fists as she moved out of Evan's sight. The young clone of Apocalypse was about to follow when suddenly he heard the faint sounds of several helicopters approaching, an odd occurrence since Westchester only had one and it was nowhere near as loud as these ones approaching seemed to be. Evan slowly rose from his seat and approached the partially opened windows and slowly leaned outside to better hear and maybe even see them before he heard the ever so subtle sound of a gun's safety being clicked off.

Evan turned to see a man in full black tactical gear with a modified magnum aimed at him. Evan tensed in surprise and fear as he stared at the unknown individual.

"Uh, hello…" Evan said nervously as he stared at the gun in the man's hands, pointing right at him "C-Can I help you?"

The man quirked his head to the side before he squeezed the trigger and several needle like projectiles shot out from the gun's barrel and imbedded themselves in Evan's torso. Within seconds Evan's vision blurred and his body became heavy as he slumped against the wall.

"S-Simple no would… h-h-have been… just as g-good…" Evan said weakly as he felt his strength leave at him at an alarming rate.

He could just make out the fuzzy form of the man approaching him and looked to make a grab for the young teen or worse finish him off before they both heard a distinct sound that filled Evan with some hope and the unknown man with dread.

SNIKT!

Suddenly two Adamantium claws erupted from the man's chest, causing him to let out a pained yell before he was shoved aside by an enraged looking Laura. The man reached for his side arm to shoot Laura before she stabbed her two claws into his hand, causing him to scream again before Laura headbutted him, breaking his nose and causing him to slump to the floor with a whimper.

The daughter of the famed Wolverine glared down at the man with a look of pure dark spite as she began to approach him, her claws bloodied and dripping with the whimpering man's blood.

"You people have really picked the wrong time to start this shit with me!"

The last thing the man saw was two bloodied claws racing towards his eyes as more similarly dressed men entered the kitchen with their weapons raised…

…

And done.
