Chapter 11 Aftermath

Saturday June 26th 0430 hours Alkali Lake British Columbia

Woke up to a blaring psionic migraine and a buzzing alert from the Trojan
clouds I had left monitoring my family, I extended my psionic awareness up
and outwards and found a nightmarish situation closer to home. There were
two John as Jean's facing off against each other with an army of golems and
Maddroxes on each side.

I teleported outside into the middle of the conflict. ^What the hell is
going on?^

Both John as Jeans said "He's a dupe help me take him out."

I tried to telepathically probe both of them only to hit class 5 telepathic
shields. I tried to scan the Maddroxes but their minds were also shielded.
^Enough I don't have time for this. Ditch your armies and let's get on with
this.^

They both stood there watching each other warily. I sighed and unleashed my
anger with a concentrated burst of tk boosted hydrokinetic disruption.
Essentially turning every drop of water vapor around them into a mallet
striking skin, it had little effect due to the class 5 tk shield over their
skin/bodies.

They finally cooperated and the Maddroxes reabsorbed their dupes leaving
only 2, one on each side and the John as Jean's discarded their golem
armies leaving puddles and piles of rocks around.

One of the John as Jeans asked "Now what Boy Wonder?"

^Both Maddroxes to me.^

Both Maddroxes looked to me and to their Johns before moving towards
me. They walked towards me and stood before me expectantly. I shifted to
flesh and sapped the one that had taken a second longer to arrive than the
other. Absorbed his power and memories.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& The orgy had continued after I passed out for a while and
by the time John & Jamie Maddrox had attempted to reabsorb their dupes one
of each of theirs had refused to be reabsorbed and had tried to escape
leading to the original and dupes facing off against each other in battle
for supremacy. They were too evenly matched for either side to get the
upper hand with Maddrox's multiplying and John as Jean creating more golems
out of everything nearby.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

With the borrowed power from the now confirmed Maddrox dupe I multiplied
into 3 versions of myself and killed Dupe John as Jean with the combined
powers of me and my 2 dupes with a concentrated hydrokinetic
implosion. (freezing every drop of water in his body and compacting all the
flesh and fluid into a red ice ball)

Dupe Maddrox surrendered with his hands up and said "I give up, absorb me
already" and he disappeared into Maddrox Prime.

John said "You killed me." in shock.

I shrugged. "I woke up with a psionic headache and my family in danger and
that face makes me a little homicidal on the best of days. You're coming
with me to cover my 6."

"What?"


"You'll be my backup, this is probably another trap, if I'm caught, mind
wipe them and free me."

I reached out via mental arrow and psionically observed my former home
town.

:: Home::

0730 hours Home Town 30 minutes from New York City

Mom, Dad, Lucy, her new husband (Dimi) and toddler (Paulo) were barricaded
in the house by the 'Trojan clouds' in the form of an ice dome.

There were two Shield Agents outside.

Not too far away was the SHIELD Helicarrier. I couldn't see inside it for
reasons unknown.

:: ::

I drained both of my newly produced dupes, amping me up to 300% normal
power. I telepathically transmitted the location of my home town to John so
that he'd know where to go/watch over.

Then I used a mixture of 'body hopping', teleporting and hydrokinetic
travel to get back home in record time.

0810 hours

I arrived to find my neighborhood emptied of other families. Two SHIELD
personnel did circuits of the ice domed house armed with very large
guns. Other SHIELD personnel maintained a perimeter around the
neighborhood.

I teleported in front of one of the guys circling my former home and stole
his gun. I telepathically communed with the 'Trojan clouds' and they made
way for me to enter. They had grown along with Lucy's family and they now
numbered 5, they were about a 4 out of 5 on the sentience spectrum. They
were still following their original programming of watching over my family
but now thought of themselves as my family's guardians. I fed them some of
my excess hydrokinetic power to empower them to build a better defense.

I teleported into my old room and shifted into flesh and put on some of my
old clothes. Then I went downstairs to talk to my family. Mom slapped me
then hugged me saying she thought I was dead. She went on to tell me that
I'd been labeled an international and domestic terrorist due to the attacks
against 3 countries simultaneously. The family were under investigation as
potential accomplices.

As they were escorted outside water came out of nowhere (the Trojan clouds)
splashing the SHIELD agents before becoming more violent and pelting them
with hail. They were herded back into the house by a cold breeze and then
they were trapped within the house without any idea what was going on for
the last hour.

I am now SHIELD and FBI's most wanted. John is number 2. Maddrox got number
3. Maddrox is the only one likely to be effected as he is the only one with
a constant face.

Lucy has an adorable toddler and a husband. It's vaguely disconcerting to
see my family having moved on so easily after my disappearance.

A stasis field springs up around the house confining us, maintained by a
flying Jarvis controlled rearmament platform. The Avengers arrive (Iron
man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and Vision) and Scarlet Witch
shoots an orb of purplish magic at the stasis field and my vision was
obscured.

I sent 'eyes' through the water pipes mapping the way into neighbors'
house. I dissolved into water and traveled through the pipes into the
neighbors house; my family protected by the stasis shield that was supposed
to confine me.

I started the shower in the neighbors bathroom and created 3 class 4
teleporting class 3 telekinetic clones. I drained them and dispersed them
and teleported out.

I'm immediately spotted by the Avengers and they open fire on me. I shifted
to ice and water and Thor hits me with an energy blast from Mjolnir, Black
Widow shoots me with irradiated bullets, Hawkeye fires toxic arrows in my
direction and Iron man blasts at me with a new sonic weapon. Vision shoots
energy beams from the Mind Gem in his forehead that disorients me. Scarlet
Witch lobs a ball of purplish energy at me (depriving me of the ability to
teleport away).

I dodged Scarlet Witch's next attack and am hit with alternating attacks
from the others. Thor's lightning sizzles, Black Widow and Hawkeyes'
attacks pollutes my water making it more difficult to hold the form of a
watery man. Iron Man's sonic attacks makes it harder to coalesce after
every attack.

^ENOUGH^ and I drew all the water vapor in the air towards me freezing it
with my power, creating a short lived blizzard, whiting out the
surroundings, effectively blinding SHIELD and Avengers. ^You used my family
against me. You've crossed the line and now you'll pay dearly.^

While the Avengers are distracted by the frost covering their outfits and
faces I teleport-stole the Mind Gem from Vision's forehead which
effectively lobotomized him, knocking him out of the fight. Scarlet Witch
cries out "NO" as Vision collapses on the ground. I teleported the Mind Gem
inside my ice chest and it increases my telepathic powers somewhat but it's
eclipsed by newfound mental clarity.

I wrapped myself in a telekinetically boosted hydrokinetic shield and
shifted to flesh and the Mind Gem's effect is multiplied. The minds of the
Avengers are opened bare to me.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Steve Rogers had sat out this mission after finding out
about the Void Soldiers Project. Bruce Banner aka the Hulk had been placed
into a containment unit due to concerns that he'd be used against the
others like he had been the previous night. Tony Stark had spent the night
developing the stasis field that was supposed to trap me and was reinforced
with the Scarlet Witch's power to stop teleport outs.

Scarlet Witch remembered nothing of being responsible for the Mutant
Devastation consciously. She had given herself a different backstory and
suppressed her powers while being empowered by a Chaos Demon and had
reclaimed a fraction of her former power by being experimented on along
with her brother Quicksilver (now deceased, no relation to Morlock version)
in order to get revenge on Tony Stark. That plan had been abandoned after
she had found out that Ultron had used her and her brother to try and end
the world.

The X-men had refused to cooperate further after finding out about the Void
Soldier Project.  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

:: Mental Landscape::

Psionic shadow copies of Tony Stark, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Thor and even
Vision appeared within my mental fortress.

My psionic avatar appears in front of them and I sprout tentacles from my
chest which entangle around them draining them of their psychic energy and
archiving their memories for later use. Their resistance is futile against
my Mind Gem enhanced self. Vision takes the longest to drain.  :: ::

Every second that passed, my telepathic powers intensified and my range
expanded beyond my control. In a spiral outwards the thoughts, memories and
psyches of every SHIELD agent and person in the surrounding neighborhoods
became clear to me including my family.

The remaining Avengers lashed out with their full strength enraged by my
attack against Vision but I evaded every attack (except Scarlet Witches')
as I knew their every thought. Scarlet Witch attacks however weren't
planned they derived from pure emotion, she inflicted me with unbelievable
amounts of pain and psychic pressure with her chaos magic.

I lashed out with a psychic attack and knocked out Scarlet Witch alongside
her love interest Vision. Before the others could react I teleported away
Thor's hammer, Iron Man's armor, Black Widow's guns and knives and
Hawkeye's quiver and relocated them throughout the town.

The effect of the Mind Gem intensified and the minds of everyone in a 100
mile radius were opened to me. I reached out with a thought and Scarlet
Witch, Black Widow and Hawkeye were silent and still and under my complete
control. The power was intoxicating. I ordered them to run until they were
told to stand down by Captain America.

:: Mental Landscape::

Hundreds of thousands of people filled up the corridors of my mental
castle, overwhelming the ability of the nightmare legion to keep order.  ::
::

^You baited a trap with my family. If you move against me again. I'll make
you suffer. Now go fetch your compatriots, they won't be able to maintain a
run forever. You'll need to get Steve Rogers to tell them to stand down or
they'll keep running until their hearts explode.^

The Avengers including a weakened and diminished Vision and the various
SHIELD agents went to try and slow down the runaway Avengers. In the
meantime I crushed the Jarvis controlled armament platform that was
projecting the stasis field and I reached into the minds of my family and
with barely any effort I modified their memories so they would remember me
as the family black sheep that got arrested by the police and was never
talked about. They wouldn't remember anything about my powers or the truth
about me. I teleported my family into New York City and instructed them to
travel west until they found a town they liked enough to settle down in.

The Mind Gem increased my range of telepathic omniscience to include New
York City and the neighboring areas.

:: Mental Landscape::

My area of my mind could no longer contain the millions of psionic shadows
and they were spreading out in uncontrolled panic into Phorcys area. The
Fantastic Four had spread out to try and find out what was going on.

The X men and students from the school were absorbed a few minutes later
and stayed in the castle under Xavier's supervision. My mind was getting
too crowded with powerful psionic avatars that I couldn't deal with quickly
enough to prevent Phorcys from being alerted.  :: ::

I tried to teleport out but I was unsuccessful instead I teleported the
Mind Gem into a nearby lake to ditch it for the moment. Its power was too
much for me to handle. I sent a telepathic message to John *cover my
retreat*

John as Jean lashed out at the SHIELD Helicarrier with a long range
telekinetic attack destroying every console and computer on board. It crash
landed in the ocean.

:: Mental Landscape::

I sent a message to Phorcys to be on the alert for the psionic versions of
the Fantastic Four. Then I sent a telepathic projection to Reed Richards in
the shape of Matthew my former SEAL identity and told him that Xavier was
responsible for dragging everyone to this place and was eating them for
power inside the castle.

Meanwhile I did a systematic purge of the corridors of anyone that wasn't
Xavier's staff, hastily draining them of psionic energy and compiling their
memories in book formats to be collected by the nightmare legion. Once I
completed the absorption and archiving of all the non Xavier psionic
shadows I sent the nightmare legion to wait in the dungeon.

Then I manifested outside as a moat around my area of the mental
landscape. Anyone that waded through it had their psionic strength absorbed
until all that remained of them was a book of their memories. The more
psionic shadows I absorbed the more powerful I grew and the wider and deep
the moat me became.

The Fantastic Four flew over my moat within a shield generated by Susan
Storm and containing Reed Richards and Thing pushed by a flying Johnny
Storm.  While the Fantastic Four went to face off against the X men I
spread out as water consuming the land between the edge of my psychic
territory and the castle . Anyone that sunk into my waters had their
psionic strength absorbed completely.

The rest of my territory around my castle had been cleansed of psionic
immigrants, however the X men and Fantastic Four still posed a problem.

I reformed as my usual psionic avatar and sent a message to Phorcys to
check on his progress.

Phorcys reported back that his area had been cleared of unwanted guests by
his army of sea creatures.  I asked if he'd be willing to help me out with
X men and Fantastic Four. He said only if he got a 70/30 share of the
psychic spoils. I agreed.

The battle between X men and Fantastic Four had been settled and they were
unified by the time we arrived. Luckily for me they had fought each other
for long enough to leave them all sufficiently weakened so that we could
tear them apart and drain their remaining psionic energy and memories
without too much effort.  :: ::

While SHIELD was busy with a downed Helicarrier and AWOL Avengers I
traveled to the SHIELD outpost and picked up the Maddrox dupe on the way
back to Alkali Lake as promised.

Alkali Lake 1000 hours

Once I arrived back to Alkali Lake I reunited Maddrox Dupe with Maddrox
Prime.  I sent Multiple Man off on a mission to confirm the locations of
the top hundred prospects for recruitment and or genetic harvesting.

John arrived a couple hours later and I told him that if we were to be
labeled as villains we should act like villains.

"What did you have in mind?"


"That old chestnut; Let's take over the world."

"That doesn't sound like you?"

"I have decided to embrace chaos and violence and become the God of
Water. No more caterpillar soup for me."

John looked at me strangely and shrugged. "Did you have a plan for taking
over the world Boy Wonder?"

"Yes." I telepathically transmitted the outline of the plan.

"Devious. I like it."

"Thought you'd like it. We may live forever you and I, might as well rule
the world."

John left on his immediate mission to infiltrate Xavier's while I plotted
how to deal with the one person strong enough and old enough to oppose me
successfully.

:: Mental Landscape :: I skimmed through the titles of millions of new
books in my mental archive until I had Tony Stark's, Reed Richards and
Scarlet Witch's books piled in front of me at my feet.  :: ::

I remotely hijacked some computers and emptied Tony Stark's bank accounts
and donated it all to various charities. I used Tony's memories to hack
into various government agencies to remove the records of my family from
the databases.

I got a new cell and made calls to Sean, Luke, Peter Hale, Austin, Jason,
Mark to be on the alert and to call my new number if they had any problems
with the government.

Sunday June 27th 2004

I spent the day with the 'golem collective' in Antarctica and emptied my
excess of hydrokinetic and telepathic power into them. Their strength had
been waning for the last year as their reproduction and activities had
drained their energy faster than they could replace it. They have complete
control of Antarctica and several thousand of them are helping Jason with
various construction projects at night to combat existential ennui.

Popped by Jason's to give him a bit of power bump. His power level had
remained fairly stable during my power black out unlike the golems.

Monday June 28th 2004

I called John and Maddrox to check on their progress. Maddrox had
multiplied and sent off his dupes to confirm locations. Dozens had been
confirmed.  John had successfully infiltrated the school assuming the place
of a new student who he telepathically redirected to a nearby hotel.

I visited Luke's farm and asked him if he would like his powers back if I
could arrange it. He said he wasn't sure, he'd have to discuss it with his
wife (Grace). I provided more energy to the water golems I had left under
his control. They had also reached level 4 sentience due to prolonged
exposure to Luke and Grace's commands. I visited Peter Hale and the
Lazaruses and updated them on the latest.

My ability to teleport is still not working so I've been traveling
everywhere via 'body hopping'. It's become much easier since my exposure to
the Mind Gem.

Tuesday June 29th 2004

I retrieved the Mind Gem from the lake to be deposited somewhere secure and
nearby. I used a water proxy to inform Xavier that he should upgrade his
security to protect the students. I shared with him Stark's tech to create
a stasis shield over the school.

I visited Misty at Oasis Spa, the scientists were gone however two
depowered Void Soldiers remained. I took my time and rehabilitated the two
former mutant bigots into loyal guard dogs for Misty and the Spa. Once the
Cure ran through their system in a month or so they'd be useful soldiers in
the upcoming conflict.

Wednesday June 30th 2004

I leaked the information about the Void Soldier Project including footage
of live vivisections and amputations of mutant remnants to the media with a
note advising that I've sent it to other media outlets to ensure their
participation in dissemination of intel.

Thursday July 1st I released Black Widow's shady background to the
media. The tabloids have a field day with her infertility issues.

Friday July 2nd I released Hawkeye's murky history.

Saturday July 3 I released the information that Tony Stark created Ultron
and incidentally caused the deaths of hundreds and the injuring of
thousands more as well as the destruction of the capital city of Sokovia.

I also released information that Scarlet Witch mind raped Hulk into a
rampage in Africa resulting in thousands suffering from inhalation of
particulants of a destroyed building, property damage.


This helped deepen the American public's mistrust in the usefulness of the
Avengers. As such the government has disavowed the Avengers in public while
limiting the use of Scarlet Witch and Hulk in confrontations with
telepaths.

Sunday July 4th

John completed his mission at Xaviers and returned to Alkali having
acquired the genetic material of all the students and staff. We watched the
fireworks and afterwards John demonstrates his new shapes and their powers
and physical prowess.

John takes the form of Wolverine, Gambit and Colossus to fuck me and the
form of Northstar, Iceman and Angel to get fucked. Despite fucking/being
fucked by the hottest mutants I find myself missing the connection and
familiarity I had with Hakeem. I find myself increasingly indifferent to
life lately and sex seems like a waste of time.

Monday July 5th

Maddrox Prime visited for the public holiday and reports back on locations
and activities of potential recruits.

Jamie and John leave together to get wasted then fuck around before
continuing on with their mission. Maddrox claims to be 99% straight with
the super powered bisexual orgy being a temporary bout of dupe related
insanity.

I stayed behind working on improving my hydro-sense range. The only thing
that amuses me lately is watching over Atlantis and seeing Namor rule over
a underwater nation in his underwear without anyone commenting on it. It's
so... odd, it helps to keep my mind off my increasing apathy.

Monday July 19th

I've spent the last two weeks improving my psionic observation skills and
telepathic projections by haunting those who orchestrated and arranged the
Void Soldier project until they confessed or lost their minds.

Today I released information that Thor's foster brother invaded New York
solely to aggravate Thor. Used Thor's memories to access Asgard and told
Odin via water proxy about how the great and mighty warrior Thor got his
ass handed to him by a 16 year old boy and how he let the Mind Stone get
into the hands of humans to empower a robot with delusions of
relevance. Odin recalled Thor to yell at him.

Wednesday July 21

Used a water proxy to talk to Austin. He spent quite a bit of time yelling
and trying to destroy it before settling down enough to listen to my
terms. He'd get the deed to Avalon, the Stark shield tech and a NAP (non
aggression pact) in exchange for providing John and I with access to his
followers DNA and chaos magic extraction for selected depowered mutants. He
eventually agreed.

Sunday July 25th

I invited John around to help me with step 4 of my world domination plan. I
created a body with a resemblance to the President and taped 'him' having
sex with John as Angel.

The resulting tape lacked a certain flair.

We visited Austin at Avalon and after a futile attempt to have us
captured/killed which John easily stops by mind controlling everyone
involved. Once Austin was subdued John as Jean combined our telepathy in
order to force Austin to provide us with protection against magical attacks
via chaos magic. As he's only a class 3.5 to 4 in magic ability, it really
only serves to provide partial protection from Scarlet Witch and him, not
the real threat on the distant horizon.

Monday July 26th I asked Mark for his help with our film project since he's
graduated from film school and has his own little studio now.

We spent the day filming the exploits of 70 billionaires in New York
(mostly Manhattan) for blackmail purposes. Some tapes were of sex with
various women/men/animals, others were of drug use set against a green
screen backdrop. The blackmail tapes were a last resort in case we needed
to publicly destroy the image of the target. They were primarily for
leverage in case we needed the sort of backing only the obscenely rich and
well connected can provide. Most of the sins were real, the evidence for
the moment was fabricated. If necessary, I could hack local security
cameras or hire a private investigator to provide actual photographic
evidence of misdemeanors and affairs.

My favorite was 'Bill Gates' being fucked by Mark Zuckenberg. The green
screen backdrop that we filmed against allowed Mark to adjust the
background to anything I suggested. Between the knowledge I had acquired
via Mind Gem and my psionic surveillance I now knew a lot of dirty secrets.

Now that John has Mystique's shape shifting ability again he could take the
shape of any human while my abilities at shaping and imbuing flesh with
intelligence means we can have a sex tape with anyone with anyone.

Afterwards John took the shape of Jake Gylenhall to fulfill Mark's
celebrity fantasy. I watched them fuck with mild amusement.

Wednesday July 28th

I visited Tony stark at night while he was asleep and gave him an incurable
case of Erectile Dysfunction in retaliation for the deaths of my former
unit members at the hands of an Ultron bot.

Saturday July 31st

Wiccan found me at Alkali within Cerebro 2 and said "Turn yourself in
peacefully because I don't want to fight you."

I said "I will if you grant me one favor first."

He asked "What?"

I smiled and told him "I want to kiss John goodbye before I go. You can
teleport us there. Then I'd surrender to Sean and the X men"

He asked "Why them I thought you had a violent falling out?"


I shrugged "They're getting the flack for failing to capture me the first
time and letting me get away with what I've been doing lately. There are
mutants that are suffering needlessly because of my actions."

Wiccan grabbed my hand and teleported us to John as Jean who wears an
illusion of a big breasted blond in order to get closer to a mutant named
Cannonball.  During the teleport I use Rogues power for a microsecond for a
taste of Wiccan's power and mind. What I find surprises me.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Wiccan had spent nearly every weekend of the last year
training under Doctor Strange as a possible replacement Sorcerer
Supreme. After fighting off Belasco together while in Limbo, Wiccan surges
with post battle adrenaline and is unbelievably horny. Dr Strange with his
mature face, lean muscular body and aura of contained mystical power starts
looking more and more and more attractive. Dr Strange notices Wiccan
looking at him and one thing led quickly to them both naked. Dr Strange
demonstrates his skills as a mystically enhanced lover.

At first Wiccan feels odd about having sex with someone other than Hulkling
but Hulkling had been gone for months fulfilling his obligations to his
Skrull/Kree families and he misses the physical intimacy and mind blowing
sex. Doctor Strange's body isn't as buff or as green as Wiccan is used to
but Doctor Strange has magic... and links minds with Wiccan while he
explores Wiccan's body with his agile fingers before kissing and licking
and sucking on Wiccan. Wiccan finds himself moaning beneath Dr Strange's
firm and hairy body as his beard tickles him as his mouth suckles on his
neck and his 7 inch cock drives against his prostate. It feels amazing as
Wiccan's rigid cock is stroked while his prostate is pounded with
experienced pelvic thrusting. At one point Wiccan has his legs over Stephen
Strange's shoulders as Dr Strange fucks him with shallow thrusts of the
hips with a mouthful of cock which he mumbles magic words that causes his
cock to enlarge.

Dr Strange's magic had enlarged Wiccan's cock to ten inches long, Dr
Strange sits on his cock, his hairy hole clamping around his newly enlarged
and sensitized cock. Dr Strange incants a spell to prolong their sexual
stamina and Stephen rides his cock for half an hour to an intense orgasm.
Afterwards Stephen performs another arcane spell to enlarge his own cock
and drives it into Wiccan's hole while lying side by side, thrusting lazily
but deeply until they both reached a final orgasm before drifting to sleep
locked together after a long night.

The next morning Stephen takes great pleasure in cleaning Wiccan in the
shower his touch lingering over various sensitive areas until they're both
hard again. Stephen lifts Wiccan up and drives his still magically enhanced
cock into Wiccan's hole in one harsh jab and proceeds to fuck him hard
against the shower wall until dumping one more load of cum up into Wiccan.

After he left Stephen's house Wiccan started to feel guilty about fucking
his mystical teacher and decides to join his bf out in deep space to help
mediate the Kree Skrull War.  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"John turn off the illusion, it's time for me to surrender" he drops the
illusion before he shifts to his default setting looking odd in a red
evening gown.

Wiccan raises an eyebrow, failing to hide a smile.

John shrugs "I like to dress up. Do you have a problem with that?"

"No. It's fine. I have a shape shifting boyfriend I get it. Victor is
coming into custody and he wants a goodbye kiss."

"It's the end is it?" John asked

"It's time." I said

"hmm." Wiccan looked between us again. "After this you'll go straight to
Sean and the X men willingly to be transferred into SHIELD custody?"

"That's the arrangement. Yes. Sean, Xavier, the Stepford Cuckoos and any
other telepaths will be necessary to trap me in this shell." I said as I
made an up and down gesture to indicate the human body I wore.

Wiccan said "Do it and let's go."

"Can I have a moment to say goodbye to John first in private?"

He looked unsure then said "No" firmly. "I can't let you out of my sight,
you might run away."

I smiled "Obviously going on a trip with your bf to settle the Skrull and
Kree war did you good. You're far more cynical these days but even if I
teleported out of this apartment you could always just teleport to my next
location."

"I'll give you some privacy." He walked a few steps away, glanced back at
us then away. "You have a minute."

John smirked "Cynicism is hot."

I checked Wiccan wasn't looking and telepathically communicated *Quick this
is what I've been waiting for turn into Maddrox*

John shifts into Maddrox and I kissed him absorbing Maddrox's duplication
ability through Rogue's power. I poke myself with a finger splitting into
two identical copies of myself. I established a deep telepathic link with
my dupe before I teleported out.

I watched with an `eye' as the other me is led away.

:: Xavier Mansion::

Wiccan teleports DUPE ME to the Xavier Mansion.

Wolverine extends his claws "You've got a lot to answer for bub."

"Logan" Storm said warningly.

"I've come to surrender myself so that you can get the government off your
back."

Sean comes out with Xavier and the Stepford Cuckoos. "Victor? Is that
really you?"

"Yeah I've come to play the sacrificial lamb and be crucified by those I
came to help."

"That's not funny."

My dupe shrugs "it'll take me longer than 3 days to rise again but I'm only
19 so you'll have to cut me some slack." No one looks amused. "Tough
crowd."  The dupe sighs. "Let's just get this over with shall we?"

Xavier left while the other 4 scrape at my outer self telepathically to
check that I resonate correctly and am not a meat clone or a persona proxy
or one of my other known tricks.

A minute later a psionic bubble rises around the room with the X men in
attendance. My dupe does nothing as the psionic bubble closes around him
shutting out his ability to interact outside the confines of a humanoid
shape.

Xavier and the adult X men deliver me to Nick Fury telling him that I
surrendered myself and that I've been contained.

Nick Fury goes off to talk to Xavier while the Dupe is fitted with a neuro
inhibitor collar by a couple of SHIELD Agents.

:: ::

Now that the X men and the government are off high alert, John, Maddrox and
I can continue our plans undeterred. John, Maddrox and I split off to
continue our own individual missions.

I called JJ and asked him to find the list of arcane books from Wiccan's
memories so that I could study methods to protect against magic. I have a
very limited supply of chaos magic inside me that I can use for very small
spells so it'll probably take a while.

Monday August 2nd The X men arrived at Alkali Lake to dismantle Cerebro 2
as expected.

Wednesday August 4th

I used a few telekinesis clones to create an electromagnetically enhanced
Cerebro 3 from the damaged metal.

Wednesday September 15th

I've spent the last week or so at Alkali Lake alone pushing myself to the
breaking point to further my mastery of psionics, hydrokinesis, telekinesis
and teleportation during the day.

During the night I work on modifying the Stark Shield for my own
purposes. Even though I have all the memories of Stark and some of Reed
Richards it doesn't make me as intelligent as they are. My mental library
may have expanded but I still have to work through all the information and
understand how it all connects up together to make a whole.

John has returned, having acquired the forms and abilities from some of the
most powerful and dangerous mutants, mutates and aliens on the planet.

Wednesday September 22nd

I've spent the last week creating an island from scratch. First by creating
an ice pillar from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, then building a
dome around the ice pillar with a class 4 psionic shield over it. Then I
slowly substituted the ice in the ice pillar with sand, squeezing it and
forming rocks with concentrated TK. I take a bit of sand from every nation
and from the sea floor. It would have been easier to get John to do it with
Jean's power but this felt like something I had to do for myself.

I've invited the golem collective to help me guard it, over a hundred
thousand showed up. I've also created 12 giant Ice Tritons to stand guard
over the small round island at each point of the clock.

It's located on the equator between the French Polynesian archipelago and
Hawaii

Thursday September 23rd I sent John a message and he arrived as Jean and
helped me transfer the entire Alkali Base to this new island I've called
New Atlantis. (Mostly to aggravate Namor who declined my generous offer to
ally with his secluded and failing Atlantis and insulted me while he was at
it.) I telepathically transmitted instructions to John on how I created the
island and he used Jean's power to double the mass of the small round
island.

Friday October 1st John has successfully gathered ten new powered recruits
for the beginning of a new mutant run nation with no history of genocide,
oppression or slavery. The most useful of these new recruits are Cypher,
Cannonball and on a temporary basis Lila Cheney (in between music tours).

Cannonball can propel himself at superhuman speeds, has a near invulnerable
blast field and has superhuman durability, essentially a flying brick but
his blast field has potential use to boosting Stark Shield tech. Lila
Cheney is an intergalactic teleporter, she can travel via tachyon field as
faster than light particles, she's the first class 6 teleporter I've ever
met and her power could potentially revolutionize transport.

I attached myself to Cerebro 3 after sapping Cypher temporarily borrowing
his power of omnilingualism (being able to understand all spoken and
written languages). Cerebro 3 boosted my psionics so I could create and
manipulate water proxies in every capital city of every country (196
countries) in the world repeating a basic message.

^I come in peace. I have created a new land for the misfits, malcontents
and marginalized. I will send my ambassadors in 24 hours for those who are
interested.^

Saturday October 2nd

I sent representatives of the golem collective globally to find and collect
new recruits to act like missionaries. Each recruit was marked by 'golem
water' in the form of a tear drop on their cheek so that I could track
their movements easier via the golem collective.

Monday October 4th 2004

After spending the weekend telepathically linked with Lila, my
understanding of spatial mechanics has developed to another level. After
some initial tests using gigaliters of water as a control substance to
practice our combined control over water/teleporting over global distances
and some entertaining failures involving water teleported into space we
progressed to moving some of the 'golem collective' into place to practice
on sentient psychic fields that could re-coalesce themselves if we
failed. After relocating thousands of the 'golem collective' to serve as
missionaries throughout the world we took a couple hours off to recover
from mental strain then moved onto one last experiment.

I reached out to Dupe me still confined in SHIELD security and harnessing
Lila's power I teleported off his neural inhibitor metal collar and reached
out with our combined power and teleported him back to New Atlantis.

Using Cerebro 3 I told the golem missionaries to herd the new recruits to
preprepared isolated locations in order to be teleported over via Lila's
power.  Combining my psionic overview with her teleporting power we reached
out across the globe and teleported all the new recruits at once. I left
John in charge of meeting and organizing the 20000 new recruits, most of
them human, dirt poor and desperate. Lila and I were mentally exhausted by
the effort.

I gave a short telepathic speech incorporating the poem on the statue of
Liberty (sapping Cypher for a few seconds prior)

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses, yearning to breath
free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless,
tempest tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Dupe me declined to be reabsorbed by me and I didn't want to kill myself or
a version of myself so I'm stuck with a doppelganger for now.

Wednesday October 6th 2004 Turns out that I don't have the patience to deal
with a hundred thousand complaints from the new arrivals so I made Shadow
Beast a human body the same age and size as before he took the mutant
suppression serum and uploaded his mentality into it. I sent him off to
deal with the complaints as John was too busy floating about as Jean
constructing new buildings out of rock. I was too busy shipping supplies
via giant Ice Tritons from the nearby French Polynesian islands and
monitoring the waters around us for threats of naval or aerial attacks.

Friday October 8th 2004

I called forth my creations to assist me in the creation of New Wave
Industries. I would be the CEO of New Wave Industries while they each were
CEO's of subsidiary companies, Jason headed Golem Construction which
assisted John in the plumbing and maintenance issues of New Atlantis. Jake
headed Aqua Vitae specializing mostly in desalination and limited
hydroelectric generation. Jackie heads Panacea with some covert assistance
from Peter Hale and the Lazaruses providing specialized medical care. Misty
heads Oasis Recreations which is the company that runs Oasis Spa and
handles high end clients and espionage. JJ runs the non profit Southern
Hemisphere Counseling services using telepathic methods to heal psychic
wounds left by abuse, neglect and psychic trauma.

Dupe me came to speak to me today, having recovered from his time in SHIELD
custody and he wanted to know where we were going from here... I
telepathically telegraphed an idea to him... We both shifted to water and
mingled our water together to serve as a partial psionic merge.

He left my room to fulfill his new mission.

Wednesday October 13th 2004

The remnants have contacted Misty... I linked with Lila to teleport them to
New Atlantis. We've been doing a lot of linking in order to teleport over
new recruits. New Atlantis population has swelled to 50000 people so far. A
lot of them have no useful skills but there is a lot of manual labor to be
done and they're being put to work to help build accommodations and basic
furniture.

Monday October 25th 2004

John serves as liaison for interactions with Avalon and Austin. I let John
deal with Austin as our relationship is fractious to say the least. Austin
thankfully has at least stopped his efforts at expanding his harem now that
he has two screaming babies to deal with. Turns out his babies are immune
to his telepathy and right royal little shits.

Maddrox serves as security for New Atlantis after having established
contacts throughout the world that work in energy markets, security,
government. I used his contact list and Misty's to offer my services to all
the global movers and shakers to ensure my island nations profitability
until the next century.

I offered hydro electrical generation of power, mass transport solutions
and a subsidized army/ peacekeepers and high volume desalinization and
limited weather control for the purposes of agricultural irrigation and
healing. Helping to reduce world hunger, promote world peace and diminish
numerous health crises.

Humanish (he still has over-sized feet and I've given his class 3.5
telepathy since his creation) Beast is now in charge of organizing and
maintaining all diplomatic agreements with France and French
Polynesia. John is still using Jean's shape to flirt and 'charm' various
world leaders into recognizing New Atlantis as a new global player instead
of a small island near other small islands. It's a long uphill battle
though as the US has blocked our membership to the UN and continues to
slander us in the media as a hot bed of terrorist activity and mutant
violence.

As such we have had hundreds of spies wandering about as we allow anyone to
visit. The population and the island has rapidly grown. At this point I
have water proxies or one of the 'golem collective' conduct tours of the
island as it saves time. The Stark Shield that I've redesigned to serve as
a protective dome around the island is of great interest to the spies. I've
only managed to get it to work for about 5 minutes at a time but it does
serve as a great deterrent from attacks as I periodically turn it on. It
does look very impressive as a shimmering blue energy field blocking all
movement in and out.

New Atlantis offers free education for children and adults of all
ages. Courses on various languages are provided via bilingual citizens for
anyone interested. Self Defense and tolerance classes are mandatory.

8 New Trojan clouds patrol the skies in the shape of ice drakes they are to
bring down any planes that violate our restricted air space. 4 Cthulhu
patrol New Atlantis watery depths (for submarines) and 12 giant 100 foot
Ice tritons guard the island's sea traffic while a hundred thousand golems
monitor and secure New Atlantis on land.

Thursday November 18th 2004

Trade agreements with French Polynesian have been formalized. I've offered
them ten thousand golems to serve as cops/guardians in Tahiti, so they can
handle all the tourists/immigrants to New Atlantis. New Atlantis still
doesn't have an adequate facilities for an airport/air travel and due to
security concerns probably won't have any time soon.

We've started to actively recruit military veterans that are suffering from
severe psychological and physical suffering offering to fix them in return
for their assistance in protecting civilians.  Due to their general poor
treatment by veteran affairs organizations thousands have signed up to have
their minds and bodies fixed with mutant power. Their immediate families
(for some) have come along to make a fresh start with more opportunities
than at home.

Wednesday December 8th 2004

Went with John to Avalon with a selection of 15 remnants who wanted to
reclaim their mutantness as being a remnant had all the downsides of being
a mutant with none of the benefits.

Austin reached out casually and absorbed the chaos magic within them (which
I could sense with my new arcane sensitivity) and the remnants changed
before my eyes resuming their previous mutant appearance. Austin said
"LOCK" and with a gesture including them all created a class 4 chaos magic
shield within them to stop their mutantness fading again.

Monday February 14th 2005 Valentines Day Celebrations. My love life is a
complete non event these days as is my sex life. Watching over the many
tourists that have come to listen to a concert with Lila and Dazzler
performing along with mutant pyrotechnics reminds me that my life has
become empty and cold. I have no idea what to do about it. Telepathically
communing with the crowds happiness only makes the emptiness inside me
worse.

I tried to focus on the new grimoire that I had acquired but my thoughts
and my hydro-senses kept drifting...

:: Dupe Me Office:: Dupe Me handled paperwork in my/his office while also
monitoring the festivities for security risks and maintaining the large
scale hydrokinetic tasks (desalination, hydro-transport, hydrokinetic
hydroelectric power generation) that has become commonplace.

4 men dressed in Lila concert tshirts walked into the office. I didn't
think much of it as that office was for the general public to interact with
the water guy as I was commonly referred to. John was the public face of
New Atlantis, being charming and magnetic with the people while I took care
of the day to day stuff with efficiency and general indifference.

Man number 1 said "Victor?"

"Yes how can I help you?"

"You can die." He struck a badge on his chest and ...  :: ::

My hydro-senses couldn't sense inside the building that my/Dupe Me office
was in. I teleported to New Atlantis armory and grabbed a couple of
confiscated guns. I teleported outside the building and charged into the
office where the 4 men were curb stomping DM (dupe me). He was bleeding
from multiple wounds.  I shot the 4 men in quick succession, aiming for
their legs.

"Fuck" one cursed as he crumpled to the ground while the others tried to
take cover behind the desk and one behind a heavy metal filing cabinet. I
ignored them and handed DM a gun that he took with a bloody grin which gave
me a flashback to Phorcys usual appearance. I hefted my dupe onto my
shoulder in a fireman carry and had him cover my exit as we escaped the
building and its negation field.

I healed Dupe Me's injuries just as he coughed up some blood...

"Let's see what this is all about." I said in the form of Matthew my
previous life.

"Some stupidity I bet." DM said in the form I grew up in...

"Usually is."

We charged forth ready to deal with these interlopers without our powers
armed only with our wits and a couple of guns.

The men had scattered, leaving torn up blood stained remains of bathroom
towels behind. It was a good thing that the rest of my staff had been given
the day off for Valentines day celebrations so that there would be no
unnecessary collateral damage.

We blocked the exit with desks and heavy stuff piled on top so they
couldn't exit easily. Together we stealthily cleared the building floor by
floor. Every time we found one of them we threw them out the second floor
window. By the time the 4th had been thrown out the window a crowd had
formed around the secured (by golems) men.

We went outside and sapped the one that had the least damage.

They were a SEAL black ops team sent by the US government to assassinate me
using a new Nhil weapon that blocked out a mutants powers in a small area.

I called up John who created a new prison out of rock via
telekinesis. After they were secured I healed their injuries and welcomed
them to New Atlantis as permanent involuntary guests.

Wednesday March 9th 2005

Relations with the US has broken down, especially as I declared New
Atlantis and the 15 miles of territorial waters around it a no fly
zone. I've taken to snatching any unauthorized planes to be added to my
forces.

The US government has retaliated with a smear campaign against me and New
Atlantis claiming that we're all terrorists and a rogue nation and a banana
republic and so forth and so on.

Tourism and profits remain high despite the US's attempt to impose
sanctions which were shot down due to John as Jean's telepathic persuasion
and a bit of Humanish Beast's efforts.

Tuesday October 4th 2005

Anniversary of Founding Day. Big celebrations. New Wave Industries has made
billions of dollars through Triton transport (Triton golems carrying
ships/shipping containers across water), hydroelectric power, desalination,
healing and weather control. While there are still lots of teething
problems with New Atlantis (lack of self sufficiency) and racial, religious
and political tension there is hope for the future as humans and mutants
work together for a better future.

I tune in telepathically to the million or so people on the island to taste
their thoughts and feelings as I find myself drifting further and further
from humanity. New Atlantis and its people help to anchor me to my
humanity. I no longer want or need food, sleep, sex or affection and
without the occasional telepathic sampling of the citizenry it becomes
harder and harder to relate to them. My power allows me to touch the world
like few else can but the emptiness never seems to disappear for long.

I have a PR firm working non stop in promoting New Wave industries to both
humans and mutants in preparation for NWI IPO. Once we are publicly listed
the general public will be emotionally and financially invested in our
future.

Dupe me and I have settled into a comfortable rhythm, with one of us
maintaining our oversight of New Atlantis and international waters through
hydro-senses while the other studies and practices arcane knowledge
specifically spells and arcane rites of protection. One or both of us chant
over John whenever he rocks up, though he's spending more time away from
New Atlantis than here.

EPILOGUE 23 November 2005 New Atlantis

Something powerful hits me in the stomach and it feels like I'm burning and
being stretched out on a rack. The pain is indescribably excruciating. All
at once it's over and I'm left gasping in the ocean; New Atlantis and all
its citizens are gone. I reached out with my hydro-senses and everything
has changed.  I head towards Xavier's furious and confused. The rage rises
from deep within and the water ripples in my wake.

End Authors Notes

This will probably be the last chapter that I will post on Nifty other than
a random supplemental world domination plan. I will probably continue
working on book 4 as Victor won't shut up in my head and he wants to have
adventures in space and time but I'm not sure this is the right audience
for that. If you are interested in reading the final book despite the
probable lack of sex feel free to email me and I will add you to the
subscription list for the final book probably titled WARPED. Victor used to
try to avoid making ripples. Ended up making waves... Now he will suffer
the consequences.
