Chapter 60: Magik
AN: Sorry for the dy. My family and I went somewhere on the weekends and I wasn''t able to write then...that and with the added holidays on Thursday and Friday, I kinda lost track of the days and forgot about it XD
Work is now a bit okay so I may also post another chapter on Wednesday. But it still depends of my boss decides to give me more work anyway or not....
Btw, there''s been less and less h-scenes recently. it will probably be even less in the future but I''ll try to do it every once in a while if there''s a new girl or such. Also, no, there''s none here too :P
That''s all, enjoy!

<strong>Chapter 60: Magik</strong>
<span style="font-weight:400">Before Benjamin explored Limbo some more, he felt the need to understand this realm more first.
<span style="font-weight:400">The way to do that is to ask someone who also has ess to this realm. Illyana Rasputin, AKA, Magik.
<span style="font-weight:400">It’s about time they meet. He promised her brother Colossus after all.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for Elsa…well, she is currently staying in our mansion for now until she gets used to things.
<span style="font-weight:400">Ororo was visiting as well and was chatting with Anna and Nat in the pool. As for Death…she seems to be holed up in her room.
<span style="font-weight:400">Probably watching some anime again…
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, Benjamin doesn’t care what she does as long as she doesn’t cause havoc.
<span style="font-weight:400">Let’s pray she doesn’t curse the animators, authors, or mangakas for not updating fast…
<span style="font-weight:400">Just as he was thinking that, he heard her shouting from her room.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Damn you Imbreak! When are you going to update!? You said weekend! What day is it already!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin quickly left to avoid that disaster.
<span style="font-weight:400">Taking a quick nce at the pool, he saw Elsa and Ororo, these two white-haired goddesses,ughing and showcasing their powers. It seem the two had hit it off.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, Storm has a bit of simrity with her after all.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not just the white hair but like Elsa, she also has some control over ice and snow.
<span style="font-weight:400">And being a mutant, she also knows the loneliness thates with her uniqueness like Elsa. Naturally, the two had bonded quite fast.
<span style="font-weight:400">Of course, Anna and Nat also became quick friends with her.
<span style="font-weight:400">…It seems that they are treating her like a sister already but Benjamin really had no intention to sleep with her that fast!
<span style="font-weight:400">[Host, stop fooling yourself.]
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin sighed and left to find Colossus.
<span style="font-weight:400">X-Mansion.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin walked in and saw a familiar red-haired beauty walking through the halls, having just left one of the ssrooms.
<span style="font-weight:400">She immediately noticed Benjamin and smiled as she greeted him.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ben! You’vee to visit? If you’re looking for Storm, she said she was going to your ce earlier.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hey Jean. Yeah Ororo’s at the house already. She’s chatting with Anna and the others right now. You know, girls talk.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, I see.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Jean nodded in understanding.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin just said it casually but didn’t think she would understand…what did she understand exactly!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled wryly and continued.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Anyway, I’m here for Colossus. I promised something to him before and didn’t have much time to do it yet. Now I’m free so I thought I’d drop by.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Colossus should be right down the hall to the right. Thest room.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thanks.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is this about Magik?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. You knew?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Jean smiled wryly and nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Magik is…a bit of a troublemaker here. Her powers are great but she often uses them to do pranks or cause trouble. Colossus always scolds her for it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is that so?”
<span style="font-weight:400">It seems asking about Limbo is going to be a bit troublesome…
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin sighed in his mind but still wanted to try. Anyway, he has nothing to lose for it…maybe his patience.
<span style="font-weight:400">Just as he was about to leave and look for Colossus, he noticed Jean seemingly hesitating on something.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What’s up?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s nothing. It’s just…you know that I’m also still having trouble controlling my powers too right?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Most of the times, I would hear the thoughts of those around me but…since we met, I’ve never been able to read your mind for some reason.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, the System is blocking you of course.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not like he can just say that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah well, I also have some means to block mental attacks.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin winked yfully.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I have a lot of secrets after all.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Jean chuckled at that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay, now I’m even more curious.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Then, she suddenly thought.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm, maybe you can also teach me? I’ve had the Professor teach me buttely, I feel like my mental powers are already on his level if not more.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Oh?
<span style="font-weight:400">Has the Phoenix Force started to act up already?
<span style="font-weight:400">Speaking of which, did Charles already tell her about the block he put in her?
<span style="font-weight:400">I did warn him before…well, I’ll just check it with Jeanter.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin shrugged.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t mind. But I have a feeling you need the permission of a certain guy in shades that has been ring at me for a while now.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin chuckled and looked at Scott who had appeared behind Jean for a while now and had been ring at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">If looks could kill…or wait, in his case, looks can indeed kill. Well, if he removes his shades anyway.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jean turned around as well and was surprised to see Scott.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Scott! How long have you been standing there?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Long enough. You, aren’t you headed somewhere?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin rolled his eyes and left.
<span style="font-weight:400">After he passed by Scott, he turned around and signaled Jean with his hands and mouthed some words silently.
<span style="font-weight:400">‘Call me.’
<span style="font-weight:400">He even gave her some winks and flying kisses.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jean, seeing that Benjamin was still trying to tease Scott, let out a chuckle again.
<span style="font-weight:400">Scott saw her reaction and knew that Benjamin was still up to something and quickly turned around but Benjamin was already long gone.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin turned to the corner andughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">He didn’t know why but it was really fun to make fun of Scott.
<span style="font-weight:400">Something about that arrogant face of his made it satisfying to do.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for having ideas about Jean…it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t attracted to her but since she and Scott were still together, Benjamin won’t do anything unless Scott asked for it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin didn’t have the habit of intentionally cucking someone.
<span style="font-weight:400">In Susan’s case, well…ahem.
<span style="font-weight:400">Anyway, let’s hurry and meet Colossus.
<span style="font-weight:400">After reaching thest room, Benjamin knocked and the door was opened by Colossus.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ben! You’re here. Just in time, ss has already finished.”
<span style="font-weight:400">As he said that, the students started to leave one after the other.
<span style="font-weight:400">One of the students was Kitty.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ben! You’re visiting again! Are you here to see me?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Kitty asked teasingly.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin just smiled and patted her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m here to see Colossus. Are you listening to ss properly?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nope!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hey!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus was shocked.
<span style="font-weight:400">Was his ss that boring!?
<span style="font-weight:400">He was teaching PE but since today was one of those sses done indoors, it was indeed pretty boring.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin chuckled and ruffled her hair.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright, you should go to your next ss and listen properly. I still need to talk to Colossus.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Bleh!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Kitty stuck out her tongue yfully and ran to the wall, passing through quickly to leave.
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus shouted as she left.
<span style="font-weight:400">“No powers in the hallway!”
<span style="font-weight:400">As for whether she heard it or not, only she would know.
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus sighed and shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">He then turned to Benjamin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You’re here for me? What for?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Didn’t you ask me to help your little sister? I have some time now so I thought I’d drop by.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh! That’s good! Let’s go quickly!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus’ eyes lit up and quickly grabbed Benjamin’s arm and pulled him out excitedly.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin just let out a wry smile and let himself get dragged.
<span style="font-weight:400">If he were to resist, Colossus’ arm might break…
<span style="font-weight:400">They soon reached a room on the third floor of the mansion.
<span style="font-weight:400">There were a bunch of stickers on it with the signs ‘Keep Out’ or ‘Danger’ or ‘Do not enter’ and such on it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus exined.
<span style="font-weight:400">“We didn’t put that, Illy put that herself. Mostly because she doesn’t want anyone to bother her.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“So she has that room to herself?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. Her powers sometimes activate in her sleep so it’s dangerous for others to dorm with her. She’s one of the few students that have a room of their own.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">If a gate to Limbo appears suddenly, it’s indeed dangerous for others to be nearby.
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus went up the door and knocked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Illy, are you there?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No.”
<span style="font-weight:400">An irritated voice was heard from inside.
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus ignored her answer and continued.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ming in now.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Again, Colossus ignored it and took out a key to unlock the door and opened it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was a bit speechless but still followed him inside.
<span style="font-weight:400">Inside, the room was a bit dark and there were all sorts of…unique decorations in the room.
<span style="font-weight:400">Things like a human skull or a pentagram or other various…questionable things decorated the room.
<span style="font-weight:400">On the bed, a girl was curled up hugging her knees. She had long blonde hair, grey eyes, and wore a ck sleeveless shirt and hot pants.
<span style="font-weight:400">On her right hand was a hand puppet of what looked like a purple…dragon?
<span style="font-weight:400">Illyana red at the two intruders but didn’t get up.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What do you want now?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus saw her like this and sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">He walked to the bed and sat down.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Did you have that dream again?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...I don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you know what he’s talking about, Lockheed?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Illyana turned to the hand puppet on her hand, seemingly conversing with it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Lockheed doesn’t know what you’re talking about either.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus sighed again.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Illy, you know I’m your brother. You can always turn to me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Go away. We’re busy.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus shook his head and stood up.
<span style="font-weight:400">He patted Benjamin on the shoulder and turned to Illyana.
<span style="font-weight:400">“This is Benjamin Freed whom I talked to you about before. He can help you control your powers. If you don’t want my help, then let him help instead.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s him?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Illyana raised her brow and looked at Benjamin from top to bottom.
<span style="font-weight:400">“At least give it a try first.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus continued to try and convince her.
<span style="font-weight:400">Finally, Illyana relented.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fine. At least he’s better looking than your metal face.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Colossus was a bit hurt.
<span style="font-weight:400">Still, at least she had agreed.
<span style="font-weight:400">He turned to Benjamin and nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then, I’ll be counting on you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll do my best. You should attend to your things. Don’t you have any sses?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes. I’ll be off then. Illy, behave.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Shoo. Go away already.”
<span style="font-weight:400">After Colossus left, Illyana sighed and finally stood up.
<span style="font-weight:400">She closed in on Benjamin and raised her hand with the hand puppet right to his face.
<span style="font-weight:400">As she opened and closed her hand, or rather, the puppet’s mouth, she asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So you’re the one with the big dick?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was too shocked and choked on his own saliva.
<span style="font-weight:400">Coughing a few times, he looked at her incredulously.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Y-you…where the hell did thate from!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You screwed teacher Ororo and Rogue, they talked and the girls talked, and so on. We girls have our ownwork, naturally, we know.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">What the hell!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Does that mean every girl in this ce knows!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin’s face went red in embarrassment. He didn’t know how to face anyone here anymore! This was too embarrassing!
<span style="font-weight:400">Granted, he was confident with his size and it didn’t bother him much, but it was still too embarrassing for such arge amount of people to know about it!
<span style="font-weight:400">No wonder on his way here, the girls would keep ncing at him…
<span style="font-weight:400">…Wait, does Kitty also know? Does Jean also know!?
<span style="font-weight:400">And Charles…with how that guy keeps reading people’s minds, does he also know now too?
<span style="font-weight:400">…Should I erase everyone’s mind?
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Why do you have an expression like you’re about to silence everyone?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s just your imagination.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“....”
<span style="font-weight:400">Illyana’s gaze then went down.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin caught her gaze and ced his finger under her chin and pushed it up.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eyes up here.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Words Benjamin never thought he’d say in his life…
<span style="font-weight:400">Illyana rolled her eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What? I’m just curious. Is it really that big?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Can we not talk about my dick already?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes, just show it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">She’s indeed a troublemaker…
