"Damn it...", Beast cursed. "Hold steady for a moment, Chris, I'm going to try and break the door off!", he shouted as he got to work trying to get through and reach Chris.
Chris sobbed, hearing Beast trying to break open the door like earlier, but it was still jammed pretty tight, and he looked at the mirror, and then shouted, "I have no choice, Beast, I can't leave him to die!", before pushing, screaming out in pain as he watched his son come out, with one hand reaching around and under, to hold into his son, tears falling as the limits of his prostate burned in pain from the incoming shoulders and head.
There was a bit of blood coming from the birth canal, but Chris didn't care, focused on his son through the mirror, and the second the head popped free of him, he brought his son over, cleaning the mouth and nose, and tears fell down his face as he heard a weak, rasping breath, "Gods, please hold on!", realizing that there's still some baby mucus and all deep in his throat and lungs, wishing that he had one of those medical sucker cleaners, but Beast is on the other side of the jammed door.
Chris sobbed as he held his son, seeing that he got fair skin, something that was a mix from his parents as Chris has pale skin while Marco has olive tone in his skin, having Marco's nose and lips, and his hair is raven-haired, in little curls, just like Chris, and he is barely able to open his eyes which is dark green like Marco...
"Chris!", Susan's voice echoed through the home as she ran her way in; thankfully getting Marco's call before she soon got to the door. "Out of the way, Beast, I'll get it open.".
Beast quickly got out of the way, and Susan narrowed her eyes as she focused on creating a force field ball, throwing it at the door, vanquishing the door into pieces, hearing sobs as Beast clamored over the broken door to Chris who looked up with tears, "He's barely holding on! His breathing is raspy!".
"Susan, throw me my bag!", Beast shouted, and Susan threw the bag to him, catching it, and dug through it, pulling out a sucker cleaner, "Let me have him, Chris.", as Chris sobbed, handing him over, barely noticing Susan helping Marco with Ella get over the crumbled door pieces.
"Are they going to be alright?", Marco asked as he was so worried. "Just let Beast do his work, Marco, that's all we can do right now.", Susan tried to assure him as Beast tried to work as fast as he could to quickly save the situation and keep things from taking a tragic turn.
The minutes seemed to crawl so slowly and torturously for Chris as he watched Beast work to save his baby boy...He finally released a breath he was holding when his baby boy gave out a proper, loud wail, and he sobbed happily as Beast handed him right back to him, "Talk about a close call...He's all clear in the lungs and such now.", so much relieved after such an ordeal of talking Chris through his orders and everything that followed.
Chris kissed his baby boy fervently, "You're okay, you're okay.", holding him against his chest as Marco and Ella came over to his side, "Thank god...", watching their son cry and wiggle, shivering from the air.
Ella gave out a half-gurgle, half coo to her brother, and her brother seemed to quiet down, realizing that the scary danger is over, blinking up at Chris, gurgling, and Chris smiled softly, "Jonathan Samuel...God has given us a miracle in you, he heard us...".
"We got both of them, Chris...", Marco leaned over on him. "Hey, Ella... this is your little brother, say hi to him.". Ella looked at the baby before gurgling herself in a pleasant tone which probably was the best sign that they could get as she liked her brother.
Chris smiled, "Thank you, honey. He will be called Johnny for short...Don't you think, Marco?", looking at Marco who nodded, "Yes, I can see it. Johnny suits him, and when he gets in trouble, he will hear the full name of Jonathan Samuel. I love it.", with a grin.
Johnny blinked before gurgling approvingly, and then his belly grumbled. He looked a bit lost, and Ella cooed at him, grabbing his attention, and she showed him by latching into Marco's nipple and suckling. Johnny seemed to understand, and with a bit of adjustment, he soon latched onto Chris's nipple, drinking up Chris's milk.
Susan sighed in relief, seeing the sight, and shared a look with Beast who smiled and nodded, leaving them, working to push the pieces of the door away, clearing the way for the family soon.
"Looks like I'm officially his godmother, then?", Susan smiled softly, and Chris looked up, "Oh, you've more than earned it, Susan...You saved him indirectly...If it wasn't for you destroying the door, for Beast to save our boy, I..we would have lost him...You truly are Johnny's fairy godmother, figuratively.".
"Don't start putting that idea in his head though; I don't want him to hate me because I can't do magic or something of the sort.", Susan joked, obviously after everything was said and done with the close call, some humor was greatly needed amongst the new parents.
They laughed warmly at the joke, and Marco replied, "Don't worry, Johnny will just be glad that you're around to be there for him, to lend an ear or a hand for whatever is troubling him in the future.".
"I'll certainly try, you've known me long enough to know that I try to keep that promise, Chris.", Susan smiled as she gently brushed Johnny's head. "They're both perfect children... you two should be proud.".
Chris smiled at her, "Oh, we already are.", before chuckling at Johnny's snores in the middle of suckling his first meal, "Looks like we got a sleep-eating fella here.", slightly waking him up, and Johnny blinked, focusing to finish his meal.
Susan grinned, "You might have to figure something about that.", and Marco chuckled, "We'll teach him not to sleep during eating.".
Laughter echoed around, and seeing that the newfound family is all fine, despite the need for a new door and some furniture adjustments, Susan left, giving the family much needed time to relax and enjoy being a family while Chris recovered from the soreness and such, getting dressed.
The news of the babies was soon known by all of Libra Haven, and they were all relieved that either Marco or Chris didn't have any emergencies, and that the earthquake was minor, miraculously. And so, Libra Haven decided to slow down as there are so many little ones already, and so, they gladly raised and grew up over the next several years with a few more surprises occasionally like the weddings of Logan and Jean, Marco and Chris, Ciro and Storm, and Gizmo with Shadowcat.
Despite the slowdown in terms of new parents, it honestly still felt that Libra Haven was going through things fast, especially considering how close some of the weddings were to each other. Logan and Jean's actually only came a month before Gizmo and Shadowcat's.
Yet the other two weddings were apart in a few years unlike the first two weddings. School and college became interesting to all the ages from the teenagers to young children over the years.
Of course, several of the children obviously would be fairly eye catching in a few ways such as the Quantonium ones. Henry, Reva, Lily, Nathan and Minna obviously didn't fit in with the other children at least in terms of their size by the time they started school: clearly as tall as middle schoolers or even high schoolers within their first few years.
Luckily, they saw advantages in being accepted like getting balls stuck in the gutter, stepping over places impossible for normal sized kids, and of course, helping other kids with homework.
Thanks to their Quantonium, they tended to be the smartest amongst the classes though thankfully had good parents that taught them in be humble in their abilities rather than obnoxious or as Logan would say 'total dickheads'.
And of course, all the new generation of Libra Haven learned many valuable lessons from the stories their parents, foster parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents told. Many have decided to be heroes in their own way, and even contribute to their world.
Little did they know was that they are going to be literal heroes in saving someone's life, let alone change him into a better man with much impact in his personality.
The children slowly grew up over the years; thankfully living fairly calm lives as opposed to what many of their parents had to go through to give them the peaceful life they had.
Puberty was both welcomed yet awkwardly observed for all of the children. Some of the kids discovered that they are straight which is Henry, Lily, Johnny, Kathy. Others who discovered that they are gay or lesbian which is Ethan, Willy, Diana, Ella. And then there's the others who are bisexual or looking to be part of a triad, Tony, Reva, Nathan, Minna. For Tony and Reva, they feel like there's a hole in their hearts like there's someone missing, even if they love each other.
Not to say that they didn't try, but despite that fact that they pretty much knew that they were for each other, there was just the thing that just the two of them for each other wasn't enough. And despite university, it was fairly hard to find someone who would be willing to go along with what they thought might be the answer of having their love be more of a triangle with each other.
Either way, Libra Haven is quite becoming one of the best-known secrets yet gossiped around in the outside world, sort of like Hogwarts in a way.
As for the other survivors from the other Earth, they also have grown up, and despite having close ties to Angel and Rogue, they have left Libra Haven as they are more of the normal-ish people to move out and find their own way, and thanks to technology, people catch up on things.
It's around 2030, and it seemed like a short time to the Libra Haven inhabitants since they had settled in from 2007.
It was a fairly cool winter evening at Libra Haven, normal for the holiday season as much of the families were all back together again and enjoying each other's company. Coming back from university or having time off work, while some of the younger ones were still finishing up high school. For Reva and Tony, the two of them were near the outer perimeter of Libra Haven, just enjoying some alone time with one another.
Tony wrapped his arm around Reva's shoulders, kissing Reva on the temple, "Warm enough for you, Reva?", smiling softly as they rested against the railing.
"Very much so, Tony.", Reva smiled as she leaned her head on Tony's shoulder, feeling so relaxed, glad that she can fit within Tony's arms.
One of the other discoveries over the years is that many of the kids' Quantonium has leaked to some loved ones like Storm, Chris and Marco, Shadowcat, Jean and Logan, Diana, and Tony, giving them a bit more longevity in living, and even a bit more potent with their powers or inherited gifts, leaving the kids to shift down to 6 ft from 30 ft, and seeing how it seemed to make the kids happier, the adults with Quantonium decided to part with some of it into the garden that Ciro has, putting them down to shift from 30 ft to 6 ft now just like their kids, but still super strong and they got their powers still.
"At least it's a California winter... not as bad as say, up north.", Tony joked. "You mean like around the Midwest or places that get completely buried by snow? Oh, certainly, I much prefer it here. Tradeoff is no snow, but, eh, never really cared to have it unless it was a trip.", Reva said.
Tony laughed heartily, "Indeed...Luckily that Bea is vacationing in Hawaii again, and Uncle Link and Uncle Bob is with her, enjoying the sights and warm water.", and Reva giggled warmly, "At least Uncle Bob wouldn't interrupt us this time...".
Tony grinned at her, "You are a sneaky wolf girl. Hear anything?", and Reva shook her head, "I hear no other people, just the crickets, the breeze through the trees, and your voice, through there's something I want to ask you. Did you have a funny feeling all day?".
Tony raised an eyebrow as he looked at her, "Fully depends on what you mean by a funny feeling because right now, I have the feeling that we might be going somewhere for some privacy.".
Reva went to clarify, "By the funny feeling, I mean like something's happening somewhere, and it happened this morning, and the funny feeling is still there, almost like something's still going...".
"Well, that's not very helpful, that's going on everywhere!", Tony shouted as he rolled his eyes. Reva nodded. "I know, I know, but just a funny feeling that it's something... extraordinary rather than your typical everyday life for everyone.", she said.
Tony blinked, "Extraordinary? Now that you mention it...I have been having this feeling, not the exactly funny feeling like you, but it is more like apprehension...", with a frown.
"You feel something bad is coming?", Susan asked him as Tony nodded. "Yeah, that feeling like you said. I hope it's not something bad, I really don't...", he rubbed his arm and closed his eyes.
Reva shushed him gently, "Hey, look at me, we can practically fight evil. Uncle Steve and Aunt Peggy taught you well in all kinds of defense, and heck, you are even working on that project to make armored, flying suits...What was it you called the project by, again?".
Tony smiled sheepishly, "The Iron Man legacy...but yeah, you're right...And you got your wolfing powers, your super strength, and your size-shifting gift...I just hope I'm wrong.".
Reva nodded, "I hope so too, and I know a way to diffuse those thoughts away.", before smirking and moving in to kiss him on the lips.
Tony wrapped his arms around her as they made out before breaking the kiss. "You certainly know how to do that.", he chuckled as they went in for another kiss.
Reva and Tony repeatedly kissed and made out as Reva held him up, walking to a tree on the boundary of the fence, sounds of groans, moans in the air. Tony grinned, loving Reva's dominant side, thanks to being a wolf shifter and all, gladly enjoyed the alone time, whispering softly, "I love you, Reva.".
Reva smiled, "I love you too, Tony.", as she pinned him on the ground, hiding from the stars, shadowed by the leaves of the tree, and she whispered huskily, "Do you want to be mates tonight?", knowing that she and Tony has fooled around in university and all, but they never quite got to home base together as they are still virgins, and for some reason, doing it in university never seemed right to them.
"Being quite forward tonight, aren't you? Always though that it would be something special leading up to that.", Tony said.
"Well, if we wait like that, then nothing will be good enough for us before leading up to that moment so might as well just go ahead now.", Reva chuckled.
Tony smiled, "I love it when you give a flair of logic.", before kissing her passionately, putting his hands over her back, squeezing her ass, and Reva gave a squeak-moan into the kiss as she grinded into him, waking his rod into hard mode, earning him to groan.
Reva spoke huskily, "I love it when you are dramatic.", caressing him down from his neck to down his chest under his shirt, kissing him passionately just as well. They were soon going wild with all the squeezing and grinding, and was about to remove their clothes when suddenly, a sonic boom pierced the air, mixing with screams of pain.
"Oh, for...", Tony shook his head as the two of them quickly turned in the direction of the sound. "That wasn't normal...", Reva said as they quickly got themselves into a serious mood and readjusted their clothes. "Come on... we've got to find out what happened... someone's hurt!".
Tony nodded as they got up from their spot in the grass, and they then saw signs of a fireball before it vanished into the forest, still hearing the screams of pain before suddenly, there was an explosion.
They leaped over the fence to run into the forest, smelling smoke, fire, scorched earth, and they soon saw wrecked signs of trees and such as they got closer and closer.
Before long, they got to a man-made pit of incredible scorched earth, following it quickly to find in the deepest part of the pit a nude, shivering, shell-shocked, bruised and burned man, pieces of scorched clothes around him, dirt and soot everywhere on his pale skin, his inky black hair in a mangled mess, his bright green eyes dilated and seemingly vacant, impossibly alive.
"Oh, shit...", Tony cursed as the two of them got closer. "What the hell happened?", Reva asked as they got into the hole next to the man, "Is he even still alive?".
