 Chapter 35: A New Home and Visiting Wakanda

 For the rest of the week, Benjamin did nothing but make suits for the members of the EPD and sleep with the girls at night.

 One day it was Ophelia who imed her prize for Benjamin’s earlier promise if she brings back Felicia safely.

 That night, Ophelia enjoyed being the dominating one for a change.

 Well, she didn’t enjoy it as much as she thought she would so it ended up going back to normal after a few times.

 Then there was Jessica who imed her prize from their bet when Grant Ward betrayed them. They had even more intense sex that night.

 Ophelia also won that bet but since she didn’t know what to ask, they just had a date that evening.

 Benjamin pretty much spent the week sleeping with Natasha, Rogue, Ophelia, or Jessica.

 Susan hasn’t called yet and seemed to be busy with something.

 Of course, other than sleeping with the girls and making EPD suits, he also dealt with other EPD matters and started modifying the DeLorean that he got before.

 At the moment, he was about halfway done.

 Benjamin temporarily set it aside and went out with Natasha and Rogue to look for houses. Oh, and while he was at it, he also bought 2 cars for Natasha and Rogue.

 In the end, the house, or rather, the mansion they decided on was 227 Swan Landing Lane Great Neck, New York.

 Reference for the house:

 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, 23k sq ft interior, 5.4 acres exterior, 1 indoor pool, 1 outdoor pool, tennis court, and even a dock as the house was located by the seaside.

 There is arge yard at the back and plenty of rooms that they can refurnish into what they wanted.

 Natasha and Rogue took up the 2 rooms beside the Master’s bedroom and Rogue also chose a nearby room to be made into a studio.

 Natasha said that they can just have the gym equipment together with the indoor pool at the side of it so that after sweating, they can take a shower and dip in the pool to rx.

 As for Benjamin, he nned on making an underground base under the tennis court. He can store the DeLorean there and then have the tennis court split open for when he needed to take out the DeLorean.

 …It’s cool okay!

 Well, other than the fancy hidden garage, Benjamin nned to make that area his own workspace too for when he needed to make some things or such. It was convenient since it was a bit further away from the mansion itself so there was no need to worry if something explodes.

 After buying this 40 million mansion, Benjamin’s pocket money had grown thin.

 Well, money was never really a problem for him since there is also a way to convert MP to money. But Benjamin preferred to leave this as thest resort.

 And so Benjamin decided that he should make a move on the other underground criminal organizations the next week…

 Ahem. It’s for justice. Not because I’m near broke. Definitely.

 Jokes aside, both Natasha and Rogue were very satisfied with the house and he was immediately pulled to test out the bed.

 It was also decided that they will have a housewarming party next weekend and invite the rest of the Avengers and X-Men as well as other acquaintances.

 The next day.

 Benjamin opened up a portal and arrived at Xavier’s mansion to meet Ororo.

 He directly portal-ed inside since he already had a prior arrangement with Ororo.

 Benjamin walked in and looked at the various mutants walking the halls while holding books in their arms.

 There were also some he could see out the window ying basketball while using their powers.

 It was quite an interesting sight.

 “Ben, you’re here.”

 “Hey Jean.”

 Jean just got out of a ssroom and noticed Benjamin so she waved at him.

 “How’s Rogue and Bobby?”

 “Rogue’s doing fine. Bobby is…well, Bobby. But he handles himself pretty well now.”

 Jean nodded.

 “Oh, you must be looking for Ororo right? Her ss should end soon. Go that way and turn right.”

 “Thanks.”

 Benjamin nodded at Jean and they parted ways.

 When he took the right turn, a shadow ran past him.

 Benjamin was surprised since that person appeared from a wall.

 “Oops! Sorry!”

 “No worries…”

 “Ah! You’re that Captain Freed I saw before at the courtyard!”

 “Hm?”

 The girl that almost crashed into him let out a surprised tone as she looked at Benjamin.

 “I’m Kitty. Kitty Pryde! I also go by the name Shadowcat!”

 “Benjamin Freed. Though I guess you already knew that. You have an interesting ability there, Kitty.”

 Kitty grinned.

 “Hehe, it is pretty cool. I can always take shortcuts that other people can’t.”

 “You have great control too as you can still run while phasing. Otherwise, I imagine you might just fall off to the center of the Earth.”

 “Thanks. It took me a while but I got the hang of it.”

 Suddenly, she noticed the time and quickly said goodbye.

 “Shoot, I’m going to bete! Bye Captain!”

 Benjamin couldn’t even say anything as she immediately disappeared into a wall while running.

 “Quite energetic, isn’t she?”

 “Yeah.”

 Hearing a voice behind him, Benjamin turned around and saw Ororo smiling at him.

 “You seem to like sneaking up behind me.”

 “I don’t. You just happen to have your back faced to me all the time.”

 Ororo chuckled.

 “Well? Are you ready to go now?”

 “Yes. Let’s go.”

 The two of them moved to the courtyard and Benjamin opened up a portal directly inside Wakanda.

 Well, a secluded corner in Wakanda.

 Benjamin stepped inside first and looked around.

 After making sure no one was nearby, Benjamin turned to Ororo.

 “You cane in now.”

 “Alright.”

 Ororo nodded and stepped inside the portal as well.

 After passing through, she found herself in a secluded alley of an unknown city.

 “Are we in Wakanda now?”

 “That’s right. I’ll cast some magic on us to hide our presence a bit since we look a bit inconspicuous here.”

 Ororo can still pass off as she has that simr dark skin but Benjamin will definitely raise some rms to the Wakandans.

 “Well, although it hides our presence, they will still notice us if we bump into anyone or raise our voice so try to be careful.”

 “Alright.”

 Ororo nodded since he understood that they were basically trespassing.

 Well, this matter will be resolved as long as she finds that person so she didn’t mind it much.

 “Let’s go then. Any ideas where to look for?”

 Benjamin lifted both of them up with a simple levitation spell and asked.

 Ororo looked around at the buildings and pointed at a seemingly special building at the center of the city.

 Nodding, Benjamin and Ororo flew over andnded on the roof.

 They looked for a way in and got inside, still hiding their presence.

 The two then spent the next hour or so strolling the Wakanda pce while chatting softly and looking for the person Ororo wanted to meet.

 By this time, she had already revealed to Benjamin that she is looking for the Wakandan Prince, T’Cha.

 After some time, they finally found him in a small garden inside the pce. But he was not alone.

 T’Cha was embracing a Wakandan woman as they flirted andughed intimately.

 Through their whispers, they knew the name of the woman was Nakia.

 Seeing them look so happy with one another, Ororo staggered for a bit so Benjamin supported her with a hand on her back.

 Ororo turned around and sunk her face in his chest to prevent her voice from leaking out.

 Benjamin sighed and silently stroked her back.

 Just as he was about to silently leave with her, someone barged in from behind them.

 “Brother, have you seen my- huh?”

 The girl identally bumped into the two of them which removed the spell Benjamin cast around them.

 T’Cha quickly pulled Nakia behind him and looked at the two intruders warily.

 “Who are you? How did you get in here?”

 Benjamin’s eyes narrowed and spoke as he made a small blood drip from his thumb and rub at the Ne of One.

 “Pause.”

 Suddenly, the area around them grew quiet. Apart from Benjamin and Ororo, no one was able to move a single inch or utter a word.

 The way the Ne of One works is that in exchange for blood, it will conjure special magic based on one’s intent and chant.

 Right now, Benjamin wanted to stop everyone and prevent them from calling out the guards so it happened like this.

 But because of this, Benjamin can’t use the ‘Pause’ chant now so he’ll have to think of another word in the future that will give a simr effect if he needs to.

 It’s a bit of a wild card but the One’s magic is incredibly powerful when used properly.

 Benjamin didn’t mind it much and turned to look at Ororo.

 “Do you want to go now or stay and talk?”

 “...I’d like to speak to T’Cha for a bit. We at least deserve a proper break-up.”

 “Alright.”

 Benjamin looked at them again and spoke.

 “Resume.”

 T’Cha and the rest regained their mobility as soon as he uttered the word.

 “...What just happened to us?”

 Nakia touched her body a bit. Confused how it could just freeze up like that.

 Right, while paused, they were still conscious and also heard Benjamin and Ororo speak.

 At this moment, T’Cha took a good look at the woman and his eyes widened.

 “...Ororo?”

 “Hello, T’Cha.”

 “You…you’re here…”

 T’Cha looked back at Nakia and then at Ororo. He didn’t know what to say…

 Ororo sighed and shook her head.

 “Don’t worry. I’m only here for a visit. As for our…previous rtionship, you do not need to mind it.”

 Ororo looked at Benjamin then suddenly held his hand.

 Benjamin looked at her in confusion but then understood when he heard her speak again.

 “This is my boyfriend.”

 …He was being made into a fake boyfriend so T’Cha won’t feel guilty for cheating on her?

 It seems that Ororo is too kind.

 T’Cha looked at Benjamin and Ororo in confusion.

 “So you’re…”

 “Here to break up with you. Yes.”

 “...I see…”

 T’Cha took a deep breath. He obviously didn’t believe it as he overheard their conversation while they were ‘paused’ and also saw the tears in Ororo’s eyes earlier.

 He could more or less understand what Ororo was thinking.

 But there was no need to point it out. Doing so will not only embarrass Ororo but also himself.

 He sighed and turned to Benjamin.

 “Since Ororo chose you…you better take care of her.”

 “Of course.”

 “But you still didn’t answer how did you get here? Wakanda has hidden for years. How did you find us and even manage to bypass all security systems?”

 His personal feelings aside, as the Prince of Wakanda, he can’t just ignore this obvious breach of their security.

 Benjamin chuckled.

 “Your dome isn’t as secure as you think it is. And despite trying to seclude yourself from the outside world…well, your people still use the inte.”

 Suddenly the girl who barged in earlier spoke.

 “That’s impossible. No one should be able to trace us through the inte. I made sure of it.”

 Benjamin smirked.

 “You’re not the only genius in the world, Princess_Ri98.”

 “...”

 Benjamin just pulled up her profile with the HUD Contacts and saw she has some game ounts and amon username.

 [Shuri. Affiliated with Wakanda]

 Shuri’s jaw dropped as she couldn’t believe it.

 To think that even her ount was hacked without her knowing…

 Benjamin chuckled for a bit then turned back to T’Cha.

 “Do not worry, Prince. We’re not here to cause trouble. Only a visit. I also didn’t leak to anyone where Wakanda is. I’m not interested in your Vibranium. I have my own way of getting it. And no, I don’t get it from Ulysses w.”

 Benjamin no longer said anything and held Ororo’s hand while opening up a portal back home.

 He didn’t have it go directly to Xavier’s mansion in case they try to follow behind them.

 “Woah! What’s this!? Is this how you managed to bypass our dome? What principle is this working on? It can actually open a wormhole in two different ces! How is thi-”

 “Don’t make me freeze you up again.”

 “...”

 Shuri immediately quieted down.

 Benjamin sighed and nodded at Ororo as she went through the portal first while Benjamin followed soon after.

 As Benjamin was about to close the portal, Ororo and T’Cha shared onest look before Ororo turned to Nakia.

 “I forgot to say earlier. Congrattions.”

 “...Thank you.”

 And with that, the portal closed.

 Benjamin looked at Ororo with a raised brow.

 “She’s pregnant. I know a pregnant belly when I see one.”

 “Really?”

 She looked pretty slim though.

 But Benjamin wasn’t one to argue with a woman. Especially when they are mostly right…

 He sighed and ced his palm on her head.

 “That aside, will you be okay?”

 “I’m a grown woman, Ben. I’ll get over it in time. I just can’t believe it when he was the one who said he will find me when we separated in the past…”

 She sighed and looked up, meeting Benjamin straight in the eyes.

 “You’re sleeping with ck Widow and Rogue, right?”

 “Uhhh…”

 Benjamin sweated.

 Why is this suddenly turning to him!?

 Ororo saw his panicking look andughed.

 “Haha, don’t worry. I’m not going to tell you off. We originally have a group chat for us females in the X-Men. We added Natasha when we came to the party the other day. She and Rogue pretty much kept boasting about you.”

 “...”

 Just what were those two saying behind my back!?

 Since Benjamin filtered the ability He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named by a lot, he would obviously not know of these small things.

 It gets too cluttered when he loosens up the filters and he would get a headache every time.

 “I know it was their choice to share you so I won’t me you. Natasha also said you have other women aside from them. How many did you already sleep with exactly?”

 “Uhh, the others aren’t like Natasha or Rogue and are more casual in our rtionship. I think there’s…five? One of them is in prison cause she tried to rape me, two are some co-workers when I was a Detective, and well, three more…”

 “Wow…that’s a lot more than I thought.”

 Ororo was a bit speechless since she initially thought there would be only one or two more.

 She didn’t think there would be five…

 Is he really that powerful in bed?

 Her eyes unconsciously lowered as she thought of that.

 She hesitated for a moment and asked.

 “Ben…can you make me forget about T’Cha quicker?”

 “Huh? Sure. I can use magic to make you forget-”

 “I don’t mean that.”

 “...Right.”

 Benjamin sighed.

 He lifted his hand and ced it on her shoulder.

 “Ororo. Right now, you’re still hurting. I know that doing it with me might help you get over it quicker but…”

 “I know, Ben. I didn’t just make this decision without thinking through it. Besides…”

 She leaned forward and whispered next to his ear.

 “I know you’ve been checking me out since the time you first saw me.”

 “Uhh…”

 Damn, she saw that?

 Seeing his expression, Ororo chuckled.

 “Also…didn’t you promise T’Cha you’ll take care of me? Or was that a lie?”

 “Of course, I’ll take care of you. Even if we don’t do this.”

 “But I want to.”

 “...”

 At this point, if Benjamin still kept refusing, he can’t call himself a man anymore.

 Benjamin wanted to find a room but Ororo pulled him outside instead.
