Chapter 30

The Talk

Vega Headquarters

I stood there looking at the stunning Felicia Hardy, but my vision was soon drawn to Gwen and Jean. It would seem I came home at the perfect time because it looks like they got into something way over their heads.

I wanted to figure out this Felicia Hardy situation, but my women came first. Then after that, I will have to deal with my daughter calling Ororo mother and then set plans in motion to set up Eden and check on the town of Salem.

“Gwen, what happened?” I asked as I ignored Felicia and went right to Gwen’s side. Jean and Gwen both shared a look, but then they noticed my stern look.

“We might have gone a little too far,” Gwen stated as she came into my arms for a hug.

“Jean, what happened?” I asked as I turned to her; but Jean was looking towards Ororo and Maya on the balcony.

“We got rid of humanity’s waste,” Felicia spoke up from her location leaning against the wall.

“Ohh yeah, well shit. Gwen come with me. Jean, let’s go for a chat shall we?” I spoke as I picked up Gwen as I used my gravity control to pull Jean towards me.

“Benjamin we need to speak once you have finished,” Ororo stated as she played with Maya’s fingers from her location on the balcony. I looked at them a moment as Natasha also smiled while she pinched Maya on the cheeks; causing my daughter to giggle at her touch.

“What am I? Chopped liver?” Asked Felicia as she huffed out, trying to get some attention.

“Look little miss kitty cat; you’re in one of the most advanced buildings on the planet. Enjoy your time and drink, and we will be back shortly.” I told her as I brought my two ladies with me into my room. With the door closed behind me, it was time to unwind.

The first thing that I wanted to do was to kiss them when I first arrived, but when Maya flew into Ororo’s arms yelling mommy; I was far too stunned to lay a lip lock on them.

Soon as the door closed, my lips were upon Gwen’s as I pulled her closer to me: my arms roamed her body. This helped me relearn the feel of her within my arms as this was the first time since she improved herself that I was able to do so.

I felt the soft, supple muscle underneath as her body displayed its strength in my arms: our tongues dueled with the passing moments. Jean’s arms wrapped themselves around my neck as she brought herself closer and before I could recognize her presence, Jean had already picked us up with her telepathic grip and brought us over to the bed.

As we touched down onto my bed, my other arm easily wrapped around Jean’s waist as she placed herself within reach. Gwen pulled back then turned my face towards Jean’s as her lips locked onto mine and I fell deep into my own kiss with her. That was a blatant clue if any that they were both sharing a mental link.

When Jean’s tongue rolled over my own, I felt the metaphysical knock on my mental defenses. As I let Jean into my mind, I felt all her thoughts and worry blaze across our connection. There was worry and trepidation but also joy and a mixed hint of satisfaction. One of my hands was wrapped around Gwen’s waist as my other hand was firmly on Jean’s ass.

I was enjoying myself entirely: but there were things to be taken care of and I couldn’t be distracted now. Pulling back from our kiss, I relaxed on my bed; settling in for the conversation that I knew would be next. I was sure Jean was going through my mind; since the door was always kept open for her once she asked for entry.

“So tell me what’s bothering you Gwen?” I asked while using my gravitation control to summon my tablet to my hands. Though her silence made me pause with the tablet hovering over the three of us.

“We killed a person today,” Jean replied to the silence that Gwen allowed to grow between us. Well, that was one way to feel all kinds of bad about something.

“Was he a bank robber, or was he a mugger?” I asked the open air as I went back to pressing on the tablet to bring up slow, relaxing music.

“No, he was Felicia’s friend,” Gwen spoke so silently that, if she wasn’t right next to me, I might not have heard her at all. Shit, I knew who that was alright and this could only mean we just rescued the original Felicia Hardy from the comics.

That means they killed Ryan whatever his name was. But she wasn’t the Black Cat until after he had his way with her. Again, more proof that this world was so much of a diversion from the comics and the MCU movies that I knew.

“What was he doing that lead to his death?” I cautiously asked (because Jean wasn’t having hard feelings about this, but Gwen would need the coaching to handle the situation).

“He was in mid-assault when we burst into the room to rescue Felicia,” Gwen spoke up as she reached across my chest to curl her fingers with Jean’s.

“What kind of assault?” I asked, trying to clear it up even though I already knew who and what he was going to do before they stepped in to save Felicia.

“It was a sexual one in nature, but when Jean showed me the memories of his actions, I took it too far,” Gwen replied.

“Well, I think that we did the right thing and shouldn’t mourn that bastard,” Jean replied as she sat herself up and positioned her head onto my chest.

“It was a living person, Jean. A living, breathing, person. I am a medical professional, killing someone is basically against what I stand for,” Gwen replied with a little heat in her voice.

“Gwen, I understand how your feeling, but you also have to understand that some people are just vile and you can’t save them all,” I replied as I kissed her on the forehead.

“I agree with Ben on this one. I showed you what he was doing and I would have wiped out his mind if you didn’t stop me so quickly,” Jean spoke up as she looked over at Gwen.

“Yes, I soon noticed how fast you were ready to burn him,” Gwen replied with a pop.

“Burn? What do you mean by burn?” I asked, catching that bit. Before I could follow up any more though, Jean held up her hand and it then burst into flames which she then turned into a flower and then a bird of prey.

“Well sugar honey iced tea!” I exclaimed as I felt the power of those flames. That was the power of rebirth and I had no clue that the Phoenix powers would rear its head so soon. Flipping through my visions, I looked to see if there was a connection line going anywhere, but I didn’t see any psionic lines going off into space. Although while I was examining Jean, I did notice a sort of inner fire residing within her.

That gave me a clue, but I wasn’t certain about the angle or the comic version I was dealing with. My hope was that I was dealing with the phoenix shard or the cosmic rebirth variant, not the crazy killer bird that they like to write about in the comics.

“I discovered this while dealing with the injustice that Felicia was going through.” Stated Jean with a very distinct way to her speech pattern.

“That would mean we are all receiving new powers,” I stated as I turned my vision to Gwen as I squeezed her to me. When I stated that, I felt Jean’s joy through our telepathic bond. It would seem she was also getting a kick out of Gwen’s squirming.

“It had to be done: I stand with you both not behind you both,” Gwen stated with finality.

“True but did we not have that little issue about safety measures when I messed up my own experiments?” I asked.

Sighing, Gwen couldn’t meet my eyes with her next statement, “I thought that enough safety measures were in place, but I was wrong. Thanks again for the rescue Jean.”

“No thanks necessary Gwen, but let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Felicia and Raven: what are we going to do with them?” Jean asked as a smile played across her face.

“What about them,” Asked Gwen as she leaned back over my chest.

“Well, I didn’t have to read her mind, but Felicia is into us and now you with your return. Then there is what Ben did with Raven.” Jean spoke up, giving away what was in my head.

“Yeah, we really do need to solve our current relationship situation,” I stated.

“What did you do with Raven, Ben? Don’t slide that under the table.” Gwen stated as she perked back up from her spot on my chest.

“We might have almost made it to the two-person boogie,” I stated slowly as I let that sink in for them.

“How far?” Gwen asked, but I was glaring at Jean who was laughing next to us.

“I have heard blue nipples are tasty,” Jean stated as I gave her a betrayed look.

“Jean would you mind sharing these blue nipple with me please?” Gwen asked as she avoided meeting my eyes. Before I could give any input about Jean sharing my memories as she saw fit, Gwen placed a finger over my lips while she and Jean shared a kiss as they shared my memories.

“That…That was a rush! Ben, how could you pull back after almost going so far. I felt that desire, it was so overpowering!” Gwen gushed as she looked at me. I could smell the lust rolling off her body. She was giving off the same sweet smell that I was always getting from Jean, although I didn’t need the smell as a clue because Gwen’s nipples were as hard as diamonds.

“My ladies are always first,” I stated and that earned me a sensational kiss from both Gwen and Jean. It was Gwen first, then Jean, and Gwen again then myself, Gwen, and Jean wrapped together for a moment.

“Okay, so what are we going to do with them both?” asked Jean.

“You’re the telepath,” I popped, stating the obvious.

“I already know what your thinking, but it’s still best for Gwen to speak her mind and not for me to share it.” Jean popped back.

“Aye and what about sharing mine?” I asked.

“You’re already very outgoing with your thoughts; this is for Gwen, and we should wait for her to collect her thoughts on the matter,” Jean stated openly then switched to her telepathy: We are connected mentally, so I’m always aware of your choices and reasons, but we have to allow Gwen to slowly become comfortable with her sexuality. I am already encouraging that, but we have to allow her choice.

“Okay, we can see where this goes with both of them, but I will start with Felicia, and I will leave Raven to you both,” Gwen stated but I could already see plans and ideas revolving around in her head. I watched as Jean rolled her eyes because we both knew that Gwen wanted to try them on both women at least once.

“So what’s the situation with Maya?” Jean asked

“She was birthed by this psychically active island I found, but I am thinking you’re more asking about the connection to Ororo. I believe the connection comes from Gaia whom Ororo worships as her patron goddess. With Maya being birthed from the earth, I believe she formed a subconscious connection to Ororo,” I stated.

“So are we going to be adding Ororo soon?” Gwen asked.

“That will be up to her, but that’s a distinct possibility given how she and Maya reacted to each other,” Jean stated as her eyes glowed while looking in the direction of the balcony.

“How will that work though? I don’t know if you have noticed, but we are very distinct threesome,” Because: even if I had decisions on the majestic beauty, my hands were currently full.

“You’re a lot closer than you think. Relax and be yourself, Ororo is from Africa and ventured across the Savannah when she was younger. I believe she would like a warrior’s approach,” Jean told me as she turned herself back towards us.

“I will take that under advisement,” I replied, but I had noticed a small quirk of the lips from Gwen’s face. Yeah, they had both gone over it, but at least we are on the same field.

“Back to the original topic though, I won’t be involved with any killing Ben. I want to be a doctor that saves lives not take them,” Gwen stated as she looked me in the eyes.

“That’s fine Gwen; neither Ben nor I want you to do anything that’s against what you feel is right,” Jean spoke up as she pulled Gwen into a hug. That told me more than I needed to know and where Jean stood on the whole hero and non-killing stance. Jean wasn’t going to pull any punches when she faced the truly horrible things coming, and I was happy with that.

Now I have to figure out my Ororo and Felicia Hardy situation because I at least know that Raven will stick to whatever angle that she is currently playing. Though I would have to move up one of my plans since Maya was here now. Having the island in my grasp meant it was time to build Alfred a bio-metallic body.

Placing those thoughts aside, I mentally retuned to enjoy the ministrations of my ladies.

Walking shirtless out of my room roughly three hours later I noticed various marks all across my body where they tried to place hickeys on my skin. I heard a wolf whistle from the direction of my couch in front of the hardlight tv, but that faded away as I pinned her with my steel grey eyes.

“They didn’t tell me that they were sharing a hunky piece of chocolate,” Felicia quipped as she gave me a saucy wink.

“And you’re the sexy leather-bound kitty cat that’s had my lady chase you all over the city,” I replied back as I poured myself a tumbler of scotch. Felicia had gotten up and walked over to me as I began to pour myself a drink. So when I turned around she was already standing behind me, well within my personal space.
