Chapter 316 - Former Students & Nemuri's Rage (I)...
Chapter 316 - Former Students & Nemuri's Rage (I)...
A/N: I have researched the whole day and I had found out that Olympians are really not that important in Marvel Universe. Most of them had lost their powers and they simply like to stay hidden in their pocket dimension.
Only Hercules and Ares are the ones who have some roles in the plot. Yes, it's true that Gaea plays a huge role but she isn't an Olympian. She is basically Mother Earth, she is also one of the Elder Gods. ??
So, I have simply decided to ignore the Olympians and Gaea. I know that you wanted me to involve her but you have to remember that this is an AU movie verse and I honestly want to avoid her to keep the things simple as I had avoided including Kang the Conqueror. Including him would have complicated things...
-----------------------------------------------
[POV Jean]
Ah... I satisfied moan escaped from my lips. Just like I have said hundreds of times... the best way to start your day is with a nice cup of coffee. Nothing can defeat this... that is why I am here, cafe Amora Mocha. In Elysium, this is the place where you can get the best coffee.
Yeah... I know that the house-elves would be able to make coffee for me whenever I ask them and they will bring it to me anywhere I want but the problem is that they somewhat lack coffee-making skills... Those are my personal thoughts though... though I hope that the elves don't find out my thoughts or they would punish themselves...
Even though there is the taste factor... I also like the atmosphere in this cafe. Meta-Humans with all kinds of looks coming in ordering food and coffee without any care of the world. They would sit together regardless of their looks or native country, they would chat with each other regarding everything else, this would have never been possible if it wasn't for Reo.
The door opened once again and a familiar group of youngsters walked in. It has been a long since I have talked with them... now, I feel bad that I haven't found some time to meet up with them. Before I could call them, one of them noticed me, and only after a couple of seconds the whole group was surrounding my table.
"It's nice to meet you once again Professor Grey... How have you been?" one boy asked from the group. A small smile unconsciously made its way to my face.
"Why don't you all sit down? It has been so long since we have talked... and, I am no longer a professor. As for your question, I have been really nice" I said with a smile on my face. The group quickly pulled back the chairs and sat down. We were two chairs short so I used my power and pulled two chairs from the nearby table.
"So, who is your new friend?" I asked curiously while looking towards the new girl in the group. I am pretty sure that I haven't seen her before in the school.
"Professor, let me introduce you to Marie D'Ancanto, my girlfriend" the first teenager proudly introduced the girl who blushed.
"Bobby... You shouldn't call me professor anymore" I said while sighing in defeat. My eyes turned back towards the girl and I extended my hand towards the girl. "It's nice to meet you, Miss D'Ancanto... I am Jean Grey, their old professor though it seems like they don't want to let go of me..." I said with a small smile and everyone in the group chuckled sheepishly.
"So, how have you guys been? How is life on Elysium?" I asked them curiously.
"It's the best place I could have ever asked for... I would have never thought that I would have been able to live so freely... I don't need to hide anything here... It's, kind of..." Kitty was the first who answered my question. This isn't the first time I have heard something like this... Almost all of the Meta-Humans in here have similar feelings like this.
"Freeing??" the girl with purple streaks asked Kitty who didn't seem to find the right word. After hearing Jubilee's suggestion, Kitty nodded her head in excitement. "Though... I miss my parents sometimes but I think it's better this way... Our last meeting wasn't so nice" Jubilee said in a depressed tone.
For a few seconds, nobody said anything. Honestly, I feel bad for Jubilee but there is nothing I could do. I know that a being named Sublime was responsible for the hate between Humans and Meta-Humans but Reo didn't find a way to reverse the process in his mind. From what I have heard Sublime used some kind of virus but he didn't make an antidote.
"It's the same for me... but the last time I talked with them, they treated me like I was a monster. My brother didn't even talk to me..." Bobby said while gritting his teeth. His girlfriend quickly grabbed his hand and squeezed reassuringly. Odd... I have already noticed this but why is she wearing gloves??
"I miss my parents... Thankfully we parted on a good note. I didn't have the courage to call them after the truth about Meta-Humans came out" Kitty said with a smile and shrugged.
"This is the best place I could have ever asked for... I don't have the best experience with parents" the last boy who was named John said cryptically. He had been always like that... Somewhat Emo but who knows what kinds of hardships he has gone through. I shouldn't make fun of his life.
"I think it's better that we change the topic..." I said and everyone immediately agreed. My eyes went back towards Marie, Bobby's girlfriend.
"Umm... I know this is a personal question but I noticed that you are wearing gloves... do have problems controlling your power?" as soon as I finished speaking, the girl got defensive.
"Uh... Don't take it the wrong way. I am not making fun of your control or anything... I am simply curious. If you tell me then, there might be a way I can help you" I said in a gentle tone. I don't want to scare her, from her looks it seems like she has some really bad experience with her powers.
"...Whenever I touch someone I hurt them... I put my last boyfriend in a coma... that is why I wear gloves and avoid skin contact" Marie said in a low tone.
"Hmm... I think I might be able to help you though. If it isn't a problem, can you visit the infirmary in the evening?" I asked Marie. She turned towards Bobby who nodded his head reassuringly and then she turned back towards me and nodded her head in acceptance.
"So, what do you think about Leviathan? I mean he made this place possible, after all" I asked the group. I have asked this question several times but I want to hear what my former students thought about him. It wouldn't change anything between me and Reo, after all, my love isn't that fickle but I still wanted to know. I was simply curious...
John stared at me for a couple of seconds... "Tch!! Lucky bastard!!" John snorted and looked away from the group. Honestly, I wasn't expecting something like that. I stared at him with a confused look on my face until the others burst out laughing.
"Oh... Don't be like that John. You shouldn't be jealous of him since he has so many girls with him..." Kitty said while giggling. Oh... I understand now. I didn't expect that kind of reaction from John though... Three years have passed since I had closely interacted with them so it is quite understandable that he has changed so much.
"I wanted to date him so badly when he threatened the whole world for the first time... He is the wet dream of a lot of girls" Jubilee said with stars in her eyes. I am glad that she wasn't drooling...
"Like... He would date us... He doesn't like younger girls" Kitty snorted and Jubilee returned to the real world.
"I hope that you didn't just call me old?" I asked Kitty in a sweet tone who was already sweating buckets.
"Um... No. I meant he likes mature women you know... Women in their twenties" Kitty stuttered out and I nodded my head in acceptance. Now, that I think of it... She is right and I had already heard from Momo that Reo's always liked older women and Momo had to work really hard to get his attention.
"So, how is it like, I mean sharing him with other girls?" Jubilee asked curiously. The rest of the group was also interested including the guys.
"Tch... Tch... Tch... This isn't something we should discuss in front of boys..." I clicked my tongue while wagging my finger in front of them. All the girls immediately started to glare at the boys who gulped hard.
After a few seconds, only four of us were left on the table. Only girls, obviously. Bobby had to leave reluctantly when his relationship came into jeopardy and John left when he felt his health was in real danger...
[POV Nemuri]
For a couple of seconds, I didn't notice what happened... I blinked several times until I found myself sitting in the middle of my burning car... My car... Whoever did this is going to pay for this... I going to break their bones and then skin them alive!!
Even though my hot ass was literally on fire... I didn't care about that now. I slowly stood up from the burning seat and my whole body was on fire but I wasn't hurt. Only my tuxedo was on fire... That was a nice tuxedo too... I am going to scoop out their eyes too!!
I walked out of the junk of my beloved car and I used my ice powers to put off the fire. My hair was a mess and some rags were barely hanging on my body. I might be an exhibitionist but I didn't like the fact that my tuxedo was ruined and only Reo was allowed to see my body.
I wasn't worried about giving someone eye candy because this was my private parking lot... Hmm... Since it's my private parking lot, it means someone high up from my company's security team betrayed me.
My eyes turned back towards my car... My vision blurred due to tears... I started to release my absurd magical pressure unconsciously. I touched the hood of my still burning car...
"Don't worry... I will kill every last one of them. You will be avenged before tomorrow ends and trust me... They will be glad that they finally went to hell when I am done with them..." I said while gritting my teeth and with a last look towards my car I Flash Stepped into our room in Elysium for a new tuxedo.
After all, you can't go on a killing spree while looking bad and I also have some people to torture so badly that they beg for death... So, I have to dress much nicer...
