It's been a few weeks since The incident of me saving Natsukis's life the only member of the club who does not know where together is Yuri. They both agreed to keep things quiet until we felt like we could trust Yuri The first few days went by without anyone noticing.
But it didn't work out long it was kind of out of the bag after I got shot by gambit.
Anyway a few weeks later.
I'm gonna beat you to the club room Natsuki I say.
You've said that the last three days Natsuki says.
She's right I have been saying that for the past three days but today's going to be different.
I was right I actually beat her to the club room this time.
No fair you were gliding Natsuki whispers.
And you using your super speed is fair I whisper back.
Fairpoint Natsuki says.
At least we brought our poems this time I say chuckling.
You're right Natsuki says laughing as well.
I have no clue where Johnny is right now but I don't care.
He feels so bad about letting what happened to me happened it wasn't his fault and I know it wasn't his fault but he doesn't know that.
I did it to save the girl I love.
And I know she do the same thing for me if the roles were reversed.
We both enter the club room with Monica looking a bit worried.
What's wrong Monica I asked.
She was out of breath.
Earth to Monica I say snapping my fingers she's completely zoned out.
She begins to stutter behind you.
Me and Natsuki slowly turn our heads.
It was one of Sayori 's friends MC what do you want why are you here I question.
MC seemed mad.
MC, you good I question.
Monica and MC were staring at each other.
Johnny assuming told her I know where steps between MC and Monica.
Get away from my girlfriend Johnny says sternly.
With the look MC had on his face I thought I thought it was gonna break out so I stood next to my brother a little bit nervous considering MC's height of 6'3" tall.
Move now MC says Angerly.
No, I say with a shaky voice i'm not letting a fight break out I say.
He goes to punch me and I backflip as Natsuki swerved to the side to avoid his punch.
I was barely dodging the punches thrown by MC.
She did this she did everything MC shouts. Snapping Monica out of her stupor.
No, you're wrong I didn't do it someone else do it from a different time Monica says.
Me and Natsuki looked confused as they were yelling but the entire conversation was psychic but we weren't going to protrude in on their privacy.
What the hell are they talking about Natsuki questions?
No clue I respond let's just go with some manga and let this blow over I say.
Good idea Natsuki says
Yuri and Sayori both enter the room about 20 minutes later.
Sayori is frozen in shock MC she manages to say surprised.
And then snaps in my mind like to puzzle pieces clicking together.
Her other childhood friend the one who always called her stupid the one Who I thought didn't care I would confront him but Sayori can handle herself.
And he doesn't know about our powers if we reveal them to him that would be catastrophic.
What's with the look Natsuki asks.
Do you remember Sayori's other childhood friend I ask?
Now that you mention it I do Natsuki says.
MC was a jerk they had feelings for Sayori Natsuki if I were you I would brace myself for a fight I warn getting nervous.
It must be bad because it takes a lot to get you nervous Natsuki says trying to hide the fact that she was nervous as well.
MC then throws a punch at Sayori.
Not again I'm not getting involved again I said to myself.
Natsuki read my mind with your powers I'll type with it how many of these if you witnessed Natsuki ask telepathically.
Quite a few they but they never got physical I want to do something but again our powers being revealed would be a bad thing I say.
Sayori then teleports across the room.
Well crap, I think to myself Natsuki has the same expression as me.
Monica then begins the stand up pointing at the door and signaling for MC to get out he has looked at her Monica's face turned pale.
Shit, I say.
Do you know what screw it I have to get involved before anyone gets hurt I go to stand up along with Natsuki as I get up I feel a stabbing pain in my leg it was a knife from Yuri.
Why in the hell does she even have a knife in the first place I question.
I wasn't worried considering my superhero healing factor counteracted the wound within a matter of minutes.
I looked Yuri in the eyes they were pure white which was a sign of mind control.
Yuri what the I begin the question but I'm cut off when she punches me into the manga closet.
Several of Yuri's tea cups came smashing on my head.
Ouch I did not know she could hit that hard I say
I'm pushed back towards the wall by Yuri who has a knife towards my eye Monica runs over to help me but she gets grabbed by Yuri who uses her free arm to push Monica onto the other shelf meanwhile Sayori and MC we're locked in a fistfight.
Monica shoots an ice ball at Yuri freezing her leg.
Smart thinking I say.
Thanks, Monica says.
Natsuki uses her superspeed to hit Yuri over the head with a chair repeat am I stay away from my boyfriend she tells the unconscious Yuri.
Natsuki calm down I'm fine I say.
MC was taken aback by that comment that Natsuki made it.
I'm just glad your ok Angel Natsuki says kissing me on the cheek.
Much to the surprise of Monica who knew Natsuki was a person not to be the one to show attention like that at least not in front of a group of people.
So how long did you like each other before dating Monica asked?
Oh, I had feelings for Natsuki since day one let's just say I didn't have to pretend to be a tactician like I did at my old school just because I read manga all the time people thought he is a tactician he knows what to do he has a plan for everything I say.
That's a bunch of problems your girlfriend had here in the school to Monica says making Natsuki turn read an embarrassment.
No, it's OK it's you don't have to be embarrassed I say.
Let's go help Sayori with MC Natsuki says wanting to change the topic.
We woke up bringing up the fight between the two.
I then thought about how MC have treated my childhood friend.
What's your problem MC asked catching the glare I was giving him.
One I don't like the way you treat Sayori like the way you do you need to treat her better I say.
And she knows I was joking she says seeming not to care
OK, then why did she tell me how much it hurt her she thought you actually thought she was stupid she said that you made her feel worthless it pisses me off that you would call yourself her friend when you treated her like this and didn't even realize that she didn't know that you were joking I shout that MC in anger.
MC stands there speechless.
Sayori I'm sorry MC says.
It's OK now that I know that you're joking Sayori says.
Me and Natsuki then had more intense flashbacks than the others we've had.
Natsuki was hugging me not letting go.
I did everything I could go back 10 minutes I couldn't save my brother I can say my sister but it least Susan lying sure she's in a coma right now it wasn't for her I wouldn't have been able to save Natsuki I wouldn't be happy right now I wouldn't have the girl I love with me right now again I couldn't say my brother and I can't stop my sister from being in a coma but I said the girl I love more than my own life right now sure she's probably reading my mind right now but I don't care at the moment.
And to be honest I always got to be myself around Natsuki.
I finally got to be a kid that likes comic books cartoons anime and I finally met a girl who likes it as much as I do and understands it like I do should I love all of the girls in the literature club but the other three are just platonic I think to myself.
I mean Sayori I mean Sayori is my childhood friend she's like a sister to me Monica where to start with like it let's see sharks video games like me a Natsuki but also it's fun to have a fourth person over since me and Natsuki both love dodgeball and it's not fair they have me and her against Sayori all the time.
Sayori had moved in at the time sure she moved back out but she's kind of on the verge of moving back in to.
And Yuri i've got nothing, to be honest, I guess the love of scary movies but that's about it.
But Natsuki I do whatever if I had to fight her father over and over again I would I think to myself.
I didn't realize that sick is reading my mind blushing about how I would fight her father again and again and how much I loved her and still do love her and how my love for her will never die.
I then see Natsuki had slipped me a piece of paper so I opened it it was a poem with my name on it and at the bottom, it said only you can read this love Natsuki.
Natsuki's poem is called knight in flaming armor.
Before you this club is boring I was the outcast The weird girl the one No one wanted to be with The one that they would say you'll be the last one to get a boyfriend.
Then you walked in that first book we read together I didn't know it yet but I loved you.
But I didn't know if you loved me too I decided if you didn't I would just leave you be but I hoped you saw the Real me I hoped you didn't fall in love with the fake me because in my really all I wanted was for you to be with me honestly I thought I was going crazy maybe things were changing for the better.
Then you saw the bruises ones I swore to never show but instead of ignoring them concern you did show.
When you ask did I wanna go with you my immediate thought was let's go.
The first night we watched anime together I was falling for you more but I didn't know if you were falling for me
When I went home the next day I didn't know if I was going to see you again
As much as I didn't want to leave without showing my True feelings the day went by too fast.
I got your number at least what does this mean is it love or just a friend it honestly confused me I thought just wait and see
When I called you came for me my Knight in flaming armor there to save me and I was broken I was beaten you were there for me the fire in your eyes I did see still unsure if you wanted to be with me
But I told you my story after that fight knife to knife blade to blade that marks the day my evil father was slain
After the story, you revealed the love you conveyed was the exact same as mine after that first kiss I was still scared about what the others would say but that didn't bother me because you loved me anyway and I wouldn't have it any other way my knight in shining armor I could stare into your eyes and day.
That was the end of the poem at the bottom of the paper it said don't let anyone else read this Natsuki with an x
Thanks, Jonathan for saving me that day.
Tears filled my eyes as happiness ever took over my heart.
I quickly slipped my poem to Natsuki.
My poem was titled happiest day
The happiest day of my life happened two weeks ago when I joined the literature club I always felt like I was going to fail Never find someone but it all changed that day
I didn't know god was sending my soulmate my way what can I say
There are two things I look for in a girl and this girl had it all her name was Natsuki
She could fight for herself she had the perfect personality.
And just a bonus natural red hair
Sure Generally the third thing wasn't something I looked for I didn't care because she was there when I needed her most so I can be myself around someone I didn't have to pretend to be a tactician or someone with a solution to be found got to be my sensitive collected and kind of hotheaded self but she didn't care when I needed her she was there
The Day was over all we did was read manga all day I thought maybe we could Head back to my place Watch some anime surprisingly she said yes I knew she was a girl who wasn't into flirty stuff but her Company was enough
But honestly, she was perfect honestly I never felt like I deserved her but she loved me anyway we helped each other in every single possible way but then one day everything changed when she went home something felt off the whole day I didn't know what it was something didn't feel the same even the wind felt untamed
I then got a call from her her voice in total dismay
Well dame I didn't prepare for a fight today but I didn't care rage overtook me I didn't care if I was marching towards my death as long as she was ok I didn't know you could fall for a girl in just one day but hay what can I say today must be my Lucky day sue was able to help me but honestly, I felt like she had doubts in me
I didn't care it didn't matter what sue had to say I was going to save Natsuki in any possible way
Knife to knife blade Blade I would've fought her corrupt father all day if I had to it it may sound sad but it's the truth it eventually got revealed that I was a mutant but even though I didn't know that after her dad was gone and he didn't make the cut I finally reached true happiness perfect ending I had the girl in my dreams but did she love me I didn't know she probably be freaked out or ashamed of me let me just go up to her room and See I hope she loves me i'm just glad that she Loved I had the girl of my dreams I reach to happiness that day and I wouldn't have it any other way but I hate my time with her is worth more than any day I'm just glad she feels the same way.
Honestly, she saved me that day.
Natsuki turns to me you really think I'm perfect Natsuki says bashing.
Yeah, I love you I say blushing.
To the surprise of everyone, Natsuki kisses me on the lips.
Uri stood there with her mouth open and Monica was crying.
Me and Natsuki both turn to see Sayori Reading the poem Natsuki had given me I'm guessing she got it out of my backpack.
Sayori that was not supposed to be read to the others I say.
Natsuki completely embarrassed runs up and snatches a poem out of Sayori's hands.
It was a really good poem Natsuki Monica says.
Natsuki's embarrassment is replaced with confidence I know it was Natsuki says smiling.
About 10 minutes later the same thing but with my poem Sayori Why can't you read the do not let anyone else but this one person read that at the top I say embarrassed.
Yours was good to Monica says.
Thanks, I say.
Yuri then said well I'm gonna go make some tea to calm everyone down.
Be back in 10 minutes Yuri continued.
You really think of me as your knight in shining armor I ask.
Yeah, you saved me Natsuki says.
You really think She's perfect Monica asks.
The definition of perfect is different to every person but to me yes she is I reply.
You know there was a joke then that Suki would be the last girl in the club to get a boyfriend Monica says.
Well, I guess she's the first to get a boyfriend I say smirking.
Another 10 minutes you're it was not back OK let's look for her I say.
Which one of you wants to accompany me to find Yuri I asked. Monica and Natsuki both immediately agree.
Sayori said she was going to stay back and wait for Yuri just in case.
Me Monica and Natsuki began our walk down the hallway.
If she eats the Eminem cookie out of my backpack I'm going to be so sad Natsuki says.
You don't need to worry I'll just buy you some more you're not the only one who likes them I reply.
Thanks, sweetheart Natsuki says.
Well, I yeah haha I say nervously.
Sorry, I'm still not used to the pet names I say.
Monica chuckles I'm not used to you and Natsuki calling each other by pet names either she says.
Well, you'll have to get used to it am I right babe I say to Natsuki.
That's right angle Natsuki replies.
Monica felt a little bit awkward after I was just doing that to see how she would react so we both apologized.
Natsuki can you I begin?
Done Natsuki replies.
OK What about the library that's the one room you didn't check remember we're psychically linked I know every room you check I say.
How does the link work Monica ask?
It's more of an SOS call-out beacon than anything else we can peer into each other's minds whenever we want but we don't normally do that I just wanted to make sure we got every room thoroughly checked instead of accidentally skipping a room because I can understand if Natsuki might lose count considering how damn big the school is I say.
Natsuki nods in agreement.
The reason we're all three going into the library is because it's packed and Natsuki can't just run in there and run out I say.
We all three enter the library and search and we find Yuri looking at a computer her sleeves rolled up with two metal claws coming out of each hand just like wolverine from the X Factor comic it was creepy.
Yuri, I say.
Yuri jumps in surprise spinning backward almost hitting me in the eye but I dodge it.
That book that you read it's like it's holding a wall between these worlds we've had these flashes of fighting alongside superheroes that are now considered fictional I can say.
You're wrong I looked up everything I could find Yuri says.
I look at the computer she's right nothing.
Someone then snuck up behind me
Slamming my head into the table.
Ow, what Fuc I begin but when I see who it is my blood runs cold along with Natsuki's.
You can't be that I killed you I say terrified.
That was my clone and I'm sorry for everything I did to you Natsuki's dad says.
I look him dead in the eyes with a serious look I don't care you don't need to apologize to me you need to apologize to your daughter for everything you've done to her I say steam rising out of my back.
You're right Natsuki I'm sorry most of that was the clone, not me but yes I did some of those things but I don't even know I was grieving in the wrong way just please forgive me Natsukis dad cries.
How do I even though you're my before Natsuki could finish the question
Her dad was gone in a blur and back with a dragon Ball Z manga in his hand.
You get your super speed powers from me and your telepathy and telekinesis from the x gen.
I can barely keep a straight face the X gene is not real
It's something from a comic book X factor I say.
No, listen earths are crashing into each other you and Natsuki can choose five people to keep their memories of the previous world Natsuki's dad says.
Well, I'm going to choose Natsuki Sayori Monica MC, and sue I say.
Natsuki says that she's going to pick me Johnny MC Sayori Monica.
Yuri had an angry look on her face.
Look your healing factor should let you keep the memories of the previous world or this one I guess I say.
Do you even remember anything before you got cloned I ask?
Not really after Natsuki left for school I got a drink sat down in my chair fell asleep and everything was black.
Wait how do you even get a clone in the first place I ask.
I don't know that's if his dad replies.
He's probably drugged A voice from the dark side of the library says.
Who are you I ask?
My name is Tim Drake the kid replies.
That name rang a bell but I didn't know where from he was drugged and Crohn's probably Sensitives in milk or any other thing you could've done the trick.
Thanks for the detective skills I guess I say.
No problem but if I do find anyone to stop The increasing earths where can I find you guys Tim Drake asks.
The literature club room 281 I say.
OK.
There will be a few changes Natsuki's dad says instead of killing my clone you have killed me A few small changes like that Natsuki's dad says.
I know you don't normally show people this but I do want to know what my clone did I do you want to know that you two are happy Natsuki's dad says crying.
Show him I say.
All right Natsuki says showing him everything.
Thank you for making my daughter happy and again I'm sorry for everything I've done but if you to stay happy in the new world I'm happy to take my clones please Natsukis Dad Says.
Five months later it happened we thought the best we could but we fell first Yuri then Sayori and then Monica
Then Natsuki I held her as she fell.
She was killed by someone in the shadows he revealed himself and I was in shock.
You know I killed you before your powers developed on my earth the voice says.
I smile it won't be that easy this time father I say looking at Franklin storm.
We ended up killing each other I killed him with my sword and he got a good slice on my throat with his knife
We woke up in the new world now earth 618.
Natsuki do you remember I ask?
Yes, I do Natsuki says.
And we have memories on this road too we've lived two lives we just now become aware of it Natsuki says.
I know it's hard to believe that the literature club is in the Xavier school now I say.
Do you know what that means Natsuki asks.
What do you mean I ask?
No mandated uniforms Natsuki says.
Oh, that's right I say.
It's so weird having one's fictional characters real again Monica reset the earth to save us from all dying at the hands of Thanos it's back to the way it was before Monica reset it I guess I say.
You're right Natsuki says.
You're not seriously going in the Marvel girl outfit are you I tease.
I might it well piss off Jean Natsuki replies giving a cheeky smile.
Well, that it will I say.
Well, I guess you do need your superhero outfit for danger room training I say.
What are you wearing as your casual outfit I ask.
Natsuki pulls out a pair of shorts and a shirt with a flame on it and the White and blue shoes that she wore with the original school uniform from the previous service but I'm not gonna judge her for it.
I pulled out a black shirt with a blue diamond on it that sad TDM.
Dark blue shorts and just normal tennis shoes.
Natsuki pulled out a can of Gold spray paint.
I have an idea Natsuki says asking for my superhero outfit.
Sure I say pulling out a jumpsuit that was Blue with green accents With dark blue boots with The letter X on the sides.
About 10 minutes later Natsuki told me to come into the living room.
She had completely spray-painted my outfit and her marvel girl outfit blue and gold.
The green accents on my suit were spray-painted gold meanwhile the lighter blue was darkened Natsuki and also spray-painted the boots golden.
Her marvel girl outfit the Green mini dress it one was completely spray-painted blue while the golden mask gloves and boots were more sparkling gold and then just regular yellow.
To be honest I loved it.
I was about to give my opinion when that Suki said they're couples outfits.
you know I was going to do that I say?
Great minds think alike Natsuki says.
Natsuki I thought maybe later today we could go to a convention You told me how you always wanted to go and I thought why not sounds fun.
And you know how we just read the invincible, comic book series I ask.
Yeah, Natsuki says growing excited.
Come on they're in my room I took the chance while you were out to prepare them I say.
Natsuki was surprised to see the outfits at least.
I made her an Adam eve outfit and myself an invincible outfit.
Wait a minute they never made costumes Natsuki says.
Did you hand make these Natsuki ask.
Yeah I did it took me two months but totally worth it I say.
Do you like them I ask?
I love them Natsuki says.
Open my nightstand I say.
No way I thought you were joking Natsuki says.
Yeah, I bought two tickets for the Westchester Comicon coming up either later today or next week the tickets are good for either entry I say.
Natsuki immediately hugged me with repeated I love you I love you I love you.
I love you too I say.
We eventually got to the Xavier Institute and to the danger room training with Professor X said your objective is to knock out these villains.
Mystique sabertooth gambit toad avalanche and blob.
There was one more I didn't recognize a pale girl wearing a green shirt and green shorts.
Who is that I ask Professor X.
Oh, that's rogue she can absorb any power just by touching The person with the power so don't let her touch you Professor X says.
We were pretty close to being done it was just rogue mystique and sabertooth
It was easy to play on sabertooth's ego and trick him into the attacking mystique.
Rogue immediately ran up to cyclops taking his optic blast powers nothing Gina in the air before grabbing her taking her telepathy and telekinesis.
Scott's visor was cracked so when he got his powers back he couldn't control it.
It was just me and Natsuki.
Everyone else was knocked out basically.
Rogue latched onto Natsuki until she passed out.
Charles what the hell I thought this wasn't how do you suppose to knock people out I yell.
It's not he says growing frantic.
Using Natsukis super speed
Rogue latches on me until I pass out.
I wake up in the X-Men infirmary with Natsuki in a bed next to me.
But she was crying Natsuki what is it I say worried.
Oh well I'm glad you're awake but.
but what I interrupt
Natsuki comes over to my bed laying her head in my lap Best when he was doing an examination on me he found out I couldn't have children that Suki says crying.
I didn't even try and hold back the tears I just let them out.
Natsuki I know how much you wanted to be a mother there's still a way we can adopt it doesn't matter I still love you and I'll be here every step of the way I say crying.
I will always love you no matter what I say.
Thank you Natsuki says.
We both then hear a psychic scream.
No one else had seem to have heard it.
Hey, Best can me and Natsuki go outside to get some fresh air I ask.
Sure it'll be good for you to anyway beast says.
If you need me I'm going to go see what is wrong with the danger room beast continues.
Thanks, Hank I say.
We walk outside to see a giant crater all the other students were in their classes.
Me and Natsuki quickly approach the creator.
There was a redheaded girl about mine and not Suki's age maybe a year or two younger so 13 14.
Hey, I gotcha I say helping the girl up.
She was struggling to stand.
Natsuki then helped me and the girl balance.
Who are you I ask?
The girl doesn't look at me but answers anyway my name is Hope Summers I'm from The future.
She then looks up at us and her eyes go wide mom dad she says.
What me and Natsuki both say.
