......….

Third Person P.O.V.

Pamela Isley's eyes flutter open as her body moves closer to the warm sensation on her side. She hugs and presses herself against it. Pamela can't help but sigh in contentment as her body squirms and stretches beneath the comfortable pillow she is hugging.

That is when her mind catches up with her waking body… She is not hugging a pillow, or even Harley.

"!!" The sleepiness leaves her very quickly when she becomes aware of that.

"Good morning…" Hector's insufferably hot voice, coupled with his beautiful face, greets her. His smile is also insufferable, amused by her actions as if she were some sort of entertainment to him.

"Go fuck yourself…" She retorts in a low voice

He gasps exaggeratedly, "It is with this mouth that you kiss me? And does all those other things?" He raises an inquisitive eyebrow at her

"Shut up-Mmpf!"

Hector, instead, shuts her up with a kiss. She barely has time to feel surprise before he pulls away and smiles at her.

"You are lucky that, because of my physiology, I don't have bad morning breath." Pamela scoffs

"Is that so? Let me check." And he kisses her again.

Knowing what was coming, she made up her mind to act reluctant, but when it happened, Pamela just leaned in and enjoyed the kiss.

His right arm goes beneath her body and around her waist to pull her closer, and Pamela runs her right hand through his hair. From their position, she needs to lower her head for the kiss while he needs to raise his chin.

The words that came out of her mouth can mean one thing, but what her mouth does is a completely different story.

She barely woke up, and her body is already getting a surge of adrenaline and excitement because of this make-out session. That is why she stopped it, so as not to get carried away and repeat what happened last night.

With some effort, Pamela separated herself from him and used her arms to help her sit up. Now she has a clear vision of the state of the bed, and that just brought back memories of last night.

She is at Hector's right side, a little above, with his head at her shoulder level. On the opposite side, Shego is sleeping while hugging his left side, but she is a little down, her face resting on his chest.

And there is Harley, in the middle, sleeping on his stomach with a very bad posture.

The blanket makes some effort in hiding everyone's modesty, but it is not that successful.

"They are still sleeping?" She asks, mostly to shift the mood a little.

"Well… not to brag, but you passed out first last night, so it's only natural you would wake up early." He gives her a cocky grin "We went for a little more while you were sleeping."

"I did not pass out." She denies it vehemently. "With the party, the drinks and everything else… I just slept quickly." She will never admit that he tired her so much that she was sleeping the moment their last round ended. "It is just that you bored me to death…"

"Okay, Okay… if you say so." He doesn't argue, acting sure of himself. "But don't feel bad about it, and this also reminds me… You need to go through the enhancements."

"Enhancements? Harley said a thing or two about that…" Pamela is suddenly interested. It is as clear as day that Harley is now in a different physical league than her.

She saw Harley bench pressing something she would expect Bane to carry with difficulty, and Harley was talking casually with her at that time.

"Yes, an overall drastic increase in all your stats and some powers." Hector explains

"Drastic? And what kind of powers?" she lies on her side again, face close to his.

"Hm, below the 100 ton mark on strength… basically invincible on street-level. Think that you would be able to dominate Gotham without using a single leaf." He scratches his chin. "And about powers… You can choose from mine, with a few exceptions. I would suggest things that complement the abilities that you already have and your talents. But you can also choose anything you like… Harley here got one that is pretty useless."

"The honking breasts…" Pamela said in realization, her face in full deadpan. "I can't believe she chose something so useless."

"Exactly. Haha!" Hector laughs. "There are limits to how many powers your body can take, even after enhancement. The limit is not on numbers; it is based on how strong the powers are and your compatibility. So honking breasts basically took no space, so it was not a waste of a slot."

"So I can get a hundred weak powers like this one or a super strong one."

"That is how it works, yes. I recommend between 5 and 7. At least one strong power, two moderately strong, and others that are more of support. Like some passive powers."

"What powers would you give me?" Pamela asks for his advice; he is the specialist here.

"There is a list you can check later, but you absolutely must get the Plant Transformation and Creation." Hector raises his hand, and his limb becomes brown, covered in tree bark. His fingers elongate unnaturally, and leaves start sprouting…

Five seconds later, and it does not even look like a hand, just a small tree connected to his forearm.

"That is… intriguing." Pamela can't hide her interest. Hector can even make the small branches move.

"Seeing that you have Plant Manipulation and even some empathic-related powers with flora… Creation and Transformation will complete the set." Hector makes his hand turn back to normal in an instant.

Then he closes his fist, and when he opens it again, there is a rosebud there that blossoms together with the movement of his fingers opening. And after that, he absorbs the rose inside his palm like it never existed.

"That… That is incredible." She really can't hide her interest; Pamela's eyes shine like a kid who found herself in a candy store. "You can create any flora? Any?"

"Any that you have the knowledge of… Yes, it is pretty amazing." Hector nods with a smile "Never tried with 'magic' ones, but I tried with the Heart-shaped herbs, and I could recreate them too. Not that it is perfect because they lack the blessing thing."

"Heart-shaped herbs?"

"I will show you later." Hector promises "This power can even do some nasty things, like absorbing water and nutrients from people." He shows his index finger that he turned into a sharp branch "And if you are strong enough, it can even be resistant to the natural weaknesses, like fire."

"Really??"

"Don't be that surprised… pineapples and durian fruits are fire-resistant." Hector shrugs "It is still a weakness, but it will not be like any thug can set you on fire with a matchstick. Or even a flamethrower."

"..." She can't even act aloof at this point. This is basically perfect for her. "I don't even need other powers; only this one is enough."

"Don't be like that." Hector shakes his head and bops her nose, annoying her a little, treating her like a child who gave him the wrong answer. "It can be your main power, but you can always get some good extras."

"Like what? Enlighten me, oh Great Genius!" She says sarcastically

"You said the right word…" He smiles calmly, not angered, not even a bit. "Wouldn't it be nice to have some sunlight power?"

"..." Flashes of him destroying vampires with lasers appeared in her mind "Like the ones you used last night."

"Maybe not that strong initially… Maybe… if your body can take it. But I was thinking more about you creating what can nurture your plants. A water-based power, too, and even Earth."

"Hmmm, water would indeed be good to protect my babies." Pamela has to agree with him.

"Yep, before you can create carnivorous plants that can shoot lasers from their mouths, let's make you hard to defeat first."

"I was not thinking of making my babies shoot lasers…" She rolls her eyes

"Why not? It would be super cool!" He looks at her like she rejected a date, betrayed and disappointed.

"You are so childish…" The rolls of her eyes get even more prominent, and she even huffs.

But she simply wants to avoid eye contact, because the face he made was kinda cute.

"What is the point of that power if you are not gonna make a sunflower rain lasers on your enemies?" He shakes his head, still disappointed.

"Winning in any way possible is enough."

"That is why you are just a villain, and never a super-villain." Hector doesn't stop shaking his head; he is even clicking his tongue now.

"Ex-cu-se me?" Now she is offended. How dare he say that she is just a villain? She is an incredibly dangerous one, a top-grade villain. She is one of the few who really took control of Gotham for some time…

"If you don't even know the difference between a villain and a supervillain…" Hector doesn't elaborate further, acting like an old master who wants her to figure things out by herself.

"Don't act cocky, you fucker." She pinches his chest, twisting his skin while squeezing with her long nails, but she can't make him show any sign of pain.

"What are you two doing?" Shego finally wakes up, groaning in distaste at being woken by their voices

"Talking." Eidolon answers.

"Ugh, talk lower." Shego pouts while hugging Hector tighter. "Or shut her up with a good fuck… Oh wait, she is too loud during sex too."

"What? Look who is talking… You are the one shouting profanities last night." Pamela retorts with a small amount of anger and shame in her voice

"Not denying that." Shego stops hugging Hector and turns her face up to stretch herself. Apparently, she is losing her sleepiness. "At least I don't use cringe metaphors like you. What was that about him seeding your fertile garden again?" After a good stretch, Shego opens her eyes and smirks at Pamela.

"Better than being an uncouth bitch, calling yourself his slut and all that."

"But I am his slut." Shego goes back to hug and nuzzle her cheek on Hector's chest. "But everything he did to me, he did to you… So… aren't we the same? Both his sluts?"

"I am not…"

"Please, girl… We both saw each other getting fucked in the ass. At this point, there is no reason for keeping up pretenses."

"..." Pamela loses the argument because Shego is simply too shameless. A person without shame is invincible in this kind of discussion.

And against facts, there are no arguments that can hold themselves; last night was irrefutable proof.

"Hmpf, don't bring me down with you." Pamela finally scoffs and turns her head

"Heh~" She hears Shego's amused laugh, but she avoids staring at the woman.

That is when Harley finally wakes up.

"Hm?" She looks around with bleary eyes, and then she notices that she is lying on Hector's crotch. "Oh…" She immediately starts lowering herself, her head on the same level as his waist, her mouth opening.

"Don't start what we can't end now, Harley." But Hector stops her with some pats on the head

"Aaaw~" Harley pouts

"Let's just cuddle till I have to go." Hector says

"You are still going to work today?" Shego complains

"The work never ends… And I am already working in certain places." Hector explains

"Fine, but you are gonna let me stack donuts on it later… and you will need to make it super big." Harley calms down and hugs his abs

Hector smirks "Like this?" Then his dick grows so long that it touches the ceiling before going back to normal.

"KAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"PUHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Both Harley and Shego almost die of laughter after the sudden display. Pamela facepalms watching the two.

'I am surrounded by… by…' She doesn't even know what to call them. It is like everyone's IQ drops when they are together, and she sometimes feels herself being pulled down, too.

That is why she keeps her guard up.

"You are using clones while you are here?" Pamela changes the subject to destroy the strange atmosphere

"Not clones, just my other bodies." Hector replies

"What difference does that make?"

"All in the world." Hector scoffs "Average clones are other mes, other bodies are being controlled by the same mind." He taps the side of his head

"Autonomy then? Wouldn't it be better to just let the clones work for you?" Pamela asks

"Panacotta is a control freak." Harley answers that while lying on Hector's abs

"She is exaggerating, but not exactly wrong." Hector admits "Copies shouldn't be used for complicated and important tasks. It is much better to do things on my own."

"Not on your own per se…"Pamela retorts

"No, it is literally me, just remotely controlling an extension of my body. It is no different from this." He makes a demonstration by detaching his forearm and making it float around before coming back. "I will be able to respond to anything happening in real time."

"Wouldn't it be the same to just let a clone do it? It is you, after all."

"Maybe, but it would be an inferior version of me, and the more it exists, living different things, the more it diverges from this Hector." he points at himself

"I am starting to see your point…" Pamela admits "But Harley is right, you are a control freak."

"Heh~" He doesn't argue

"The best use of this power would be in bed…" Harley suddenly says

"I already have a lot of powers that are great in bed, do you want to be spitroasted that badly? You can't handle two of me…" Hector laughs. "I can even do this." He waves one arm and to Pamela's horror…

… dicks start sprouting on the wall. The whole wall. It covers every inch of it. "Unlimited Dick Works"

"PFFFFFT!!!! HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!!"

And obviously Shego and Harley laughed their ass off at the sight before the many dicks disappeared.

"Gross…" Pamela says in disgust.

"Buhahaha! It was so gross that it was funny!!!" Harley is holding her sides, and Shego is laughing so hard that her breasts are jumping.

"Oh! Oh! Panacotta!" Harley's eyes suddenly shoot up, and she stands up on her knees on the bed. "Please! Make a dick sprout here." She turns to him and points to her naked crotch. "I wanna try using it on Pam."

"..." Pamela slowly facepalms, lowering her head to cover her eyes.

This is very in character for Harley.

"Hmm~" Hector pauses to consider it, rubbing his chin. "If for one side it would still be my penis and I would receive the feedback without any effort… from the other side, seeing a dickgirl version of you is very weird." He answers with a serious tone

"Are you really considering it?" Pamela asks with a shocked expression.

"I mean… it would be on the limit of what is permissible, stretching even… Maybe in the future." He admits "I have a lot of weird ways to use my powers for sex, and I already made a line that I will not cross. Falling into depravity is a real worry of mine."

"Aw man~" Harley whines "Fine then… But it would be possible to like… link the sensation with my body?" She asks with interest

"Yep, with some sharing senses powers…" Hector nods

"So it would be a very advanced and fancy strap-on." Shego concludes

"Harley… why the fuck would you want something like that?" Pamela sighs

"What? Are you never curious about what it would be like to have a penis? The Penis Envy theory of Freud talks about-"

"Fuck Freud and his fetishes!" Pamela interrupts with a low growl "This deviant here is right… We should make a clear line about this stuff, especially when he has this many gross powers."

"Aaaah, C'mon~ That would not be the first time we would do something weird… Remember the bondage with your vines?" Harley challenges

"..." Pamela's face becomes a mask while Shego mocks her.

"Uuuuuuuh~ Someone is kin-ky!"

"Okay, instead of trying to convince you now… This moment highlighted our need for communication on this issue." Harley suddenly says, much more serious and even professional "Why don't we have a healthy talk about those limits now?" She smiles brightly

"..."

"Well…"

"I agree." Hector nods; he likes direct conversation and honesty.

"Then let's start with our common denominator!" Harley gestures at Hector "What is off limits, Panacotta? Tell me what you don't want to do." She smiles and crawls to hug his chest

"Hmmm~" Once again, he pauses to think. "I thought about this briefly in the past, and there are some things that grossed me out there, and I decided that the 'Hector' of that time would be the reference in case I fall. After all, we tend to get more degenerated with time and bored too."

"True, and what do you think is gross?" Shego asks, also getting close to him.

"First of all, that distinction between multiple bodies. There is a line there that, if crossed, would make me feel cucked." He says while thinking seriously "I really need to control the other body. You guys already saw me making some extra arms to give you all attention, so it's something like that. But for now… I admit that I like the feeling of having all of your attention focused on a single body, and I can deal with multiple women. So unless an orgy of a hundred or something happens… I don't think I would use even my other bodies."

"You like feeling like a king, huh?" Shego laughs

"Fair enough, you have a harem for that." Harley also finds amusement in his small display of selfishness.

"You are so greedy." Pamela judges.

"I would also not transform, neither in other people nor in animals." Hector continues

"Yew…" The three of them make disgusted faces.

"The best I could, the really best, really best… Would be transforming in my version of that species of alien or monster, but there are limits." 'Like using the Omnitrix or something.'

"Like if you meet a monster/alien girl?" Harley asks

"Yeah… But I am not even sure if I would do it yet; it is just a possibility. I mean, my normal human body and normal-looking penis are enough, right?" He jokes with a smug smile

"More than enough." Shego also gives a salacious grin, and Harley rubs herself against him.

"On this page, I would also not change the shape of my penis into something gross… I don't mind enlarging or even shrinking it." He shrugs, confident. "Maybe even add a little extra like bumps… But I will not make it turn into something that I wouldn't recognize."

"I am starting to see a pattern here…" Harley points out "It really gravitates more about your sense of self and Ego."

"Hmm… I think you are right." Hector admits to thinking a little

"It is not a bad thing, I just think deep down you really don't want to lose yourself among the myriad of possibilities you have." Harley adds

"True. Even with all those powers, I still keep my boring appearance and do a lot of things normally. I was afraid of becoming something else, and I ended up liking being me, even with all the options." It is a little deeper than that.

Hector can assimilate characters. The battle to keep his sense of self is a struggle that only he knows.

"You? Boring?" Shego scoffs "You are ridiculously gorgeous, my love."

"Thank you, but this is just a better version of Hector. I didn't change my hair color or style, or even modify my height or penis size… I just let my body adapt naturally, never conducting the changes." Hector explains "And black hair and blue eyes are very common. If I were a little more immature when I got my powers, I would probably get some rare hair color and eyes."

"Like Eidolon?" Shego smirks, her eyes saying 'Gotcha!'

".............." Hector stares at her before hiding his face with his palms in shame. "I mean… Ahem… I…It is just…" The truth is that Eidolon is a product of childish edginess. "It is that he should be very different from me and… He is cringing inside a little

"It is okay, it is okay~" Harley pats his head, consoling him. "You are allowed to have this much, and Eidolon is pretty cool."

Pamela will not admit that she finds this display of… "humanity", a little endearing on this almost-perfect man.

Hector coughs in his hand and tries to act normal. "Ahem. I think this is all, maybe I'm forgetting, but Harley pretty much summarized it well. I don't think I am a selfish lover… As we progress, we see how it goes. I can be a little flexible too… I don't like tentacles and all that, but I can create them, and even make them be like my own dick. And if I found a lover that is too alien but has a human form, maybe it would be unfair to only ask her to look like a human." He explains seriously "I really don't want to abuse it too much and get numb to normal sex, though. I think that is the gist of it… Keeping my sense of self by really being myself and not doing anything too hardcore. At least not too much or too soon…"

"I get what you mean…" Shego nods "You also gave me the power of multiplying myself, which was originally from my dumb brothers, and I never used it in bed because I don't want to see another Shego with you. I want you to look only at this Shego. Even if I gain the memories later." She points at herself. "But I feel that I can get over this… mental block eventually."

"That is normal… it is a new power, so it is common to experience some discomfort in using it for those things. People who are born with shapeshifting or cloning powers may not care about using them to please their partners, but to us… It is a little weird." Hector explains

"So it is because of that." Shego hums

"Maybe it's because you didn't go through your developing stage with those powers." Doctor Harley appears to suggest

"That is a good theory…" Hector points at her "The development of the prefrontal cortex… Inhibitions, maturity, social behavior…"

"Oooh~ It is starting to make sense… The way of seeing the world and thinking…" The two have a whole conversation using only some keywords.

"If you two nerds are done talking, I think I am gonna take a bath." Shego jumps off the bed, not caring about her nakedness.

"Shouldn't we continue our talk?" Harley asks

"Meh, this doofus is surprisingly vanilla, and I believe he would accept if I just say 'no' to something, and vice versa. We can discover down the line. Normal sex is still pretty amazing."

"Heh ~ I try." Hector smirks

"Even the new things with your powers are a little fun, like the triple penis last night… And I also ignored the butt tower because you can elongate your tongue, but don't expect me to participate in a lot of foursomes." Shego makes it clear. That is her line. She can cross it a little for him because, in this case, she knows he can handle multiple women, and last night was the proof that he can give her enough attention to make her not feel left out, but she still prefers doing it alone with him.

"That is fine… We can always let the adventurous things be for special occasions or to fate." He smiles and stands up to give Shego a kiss

After making her feel good, he turns and says "I need to go, I have a long way ahead… Dealing with the aftermath of last night and all that. Pamela, take this tablet and see if you like any power." He makes the device appear in his hand and floats it to Pamela.

"Oh! Finally going through the Procedure?? Nice!" Harley cheers "You will love it, Pam. It is like being reborn. Let me help you with the choices."

"Seeing that you choose Honking Breasts, I need to refuse your help." Pamela deadpans.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"They are great during mating press…" Harley argues

"No, they are infuriating." Pamela shots back

"......"

Honk-Honk

......…..

Xavier Mansion

"Last night was very eventful. I have been on the internet all night to catch up with everything…" Kitty comments to the group of X-Men while she lies on one of the couches in the TV room.

"You are just fucking lazy." Illyana says mercilessly while sitting on the armrest of the couch, watching the big TV showing some news of last night, especially Eidolon's fight.

"Illyana!" Piotr admonishes her for saying a bad word, but the blonde girl only sticks out the tip of her tongue while keeping her eyes on the screen.

On the screen, a heated discussion is happening about what Eidolon talked with both Varnae and Dracula. The X-Men looked on other channels for a more interesting show about the fight, but most of them censored the fight because it was too bloody.

So they settled on the discussion, something that also matters to them, as metas and heroes. They wanted to see the public opinion about this matter.

"Those cowards, show us the fight!" Illyana rages in her russian accent after seeing they skip the part when Eidolon delivers a palm strike on Varnae, and the back of the vampire explodes because of the sunlight leaving the body.

"Don't worry girl, it is all over the internet already." Kitty smiles

"That was fast…" Jubilee says

"People online work fast, there are already edits." Kitty laughs "I am gonna send all the clips to the group chat."

"The fact that Eidolon was fighting his own battle explains why he didn't come to help us last night." Kurt understand

"He sent that Raven girl." Spyke says "Too bad I couldn't even get her number…" His shoulders sag

"He must have thought we could deal with that." Illyana says with some pride in her voice "By the way, he must be coming later."

"Really?" Kitty stands up finally looking away from her phone

"Yeah, in the end, we didn't get the source of those demons." Illyana says with a distant look. She has a good idea of where they came from.

"Too bad that Raven didn't say anything she discovered when Kurt took us to where the portal started." Jean says while pondering

"She only said, 'I am not familiar with this particular hellish dimension' and left." Rogue adds

"I wish she had stayed." Kitty pouts

"You are too friendly sometimes, you know that?" Rogue stares at her brown-haired friend

"I have an eye for people I can get along with, and she is one of them. I know this!" Kitty insists.

"Good luck with that… She can teleport away from your chumminess." Robert laughs

"That is true… next time I am gonna latch on to her till she realizes we are meant to be friends." Kitty half-jokes and half-speaks seriously

"If she throws you somewhere else, we are not rescuing you." Scott shakes his head with amusement

"What?! And what about: 'No man(and woman) is left behind?' What sort of camaraderie do we have around here?" Kitty exclaims with indignation

"You are just gonna be dealing with the consequences of your own actions." Scott smirks

"Kitty, your survival instincts must be too numb, but don't try to annoy the dark witch girl who practically solved last night's crisis alone." Jean also adds with a teasing smirk

"Hey, I also put a lot of work." Illyana protests

"We all did." Scott nods

"But her reinforcement really helped us deal with that very quick." Rogue says

"Do you think Eidolon has, like… a person to each job in standby? Ready to deploy…" Jubilee asks the room

"He has a power for every job." Jean scoffs

"Right?? What do you mean, he can create a sun? Or simply switch his blood?" Paige doesn't hide her shock. "The guy is even more ridiculous than me, and I can adapt to any circumstance."

"That is why Eidolon is my Goat." Kitty nods to herself with some pride, like Eidolon is her child or something. "Proud of being meta and proud of being human."

"That speech was super cool indeed." Warren says

"I am not the only one then! Like, damn! What is this feeling in my chest? Let's dominate the universe, humanity!" Spyke talkies excitedly holding his hands like claws in front of him before clenching them.

"Eidolon really has a way with words. "Jean smiles lightly. "Everything he said convinced me that the world is in good hands while he is being a hero."

"Have you guys noticed the amount of protests against us has diminished?" Robert says in realization

"I haven't seen one in the media for months." Jubilee thinks about it.

"People love the guy." Spyke shrugs

"He could just take over the world already and become our ruler." Tabitha says casually, but when she notices that the people around her are looking at her strangely, she pauses. "What?"

"People online have the same thought." Kitty says while looking back at her phone "Comments of: 'What is so bad about being ruled by a good guy?', 'If it is inevitable, I prefer that Eidolon does that' and 'The best kind of leader is the one that doesn't want to hold that power'." Kitty reads

"Is this idea really that popular?" Scott asks in surprise

"Half-half…" Kitty retorts absently while scrolling through some forums "There are still a lot of people who are not comfortable with it."

"It is kind of a pointless discussion, no? Eidolon himself said that he is not interested." Jean speaks "It is not like he is running for President of the World."

"Jean, Jean, Jean~ Pointless discussion is the lifeblood of the internet." Kitty clicks her tongue while shaking her head and explains it in a patronizing way. "The world will not change, and they can't even change each other's opinion, but people like saying stuff on the internet, more to find like-minded people than to try to educate or inform anyone. OH! Someone turned that video showing Eidolon's abs from bottom to top in a single image!! Saved!!"

"....."

"Ohoho, nipples and belly button." Kitty's eyes are glued to the screen while her fingers move up and down and then get closer and separate, without a doubt zooming in on the image. "Hmm~ Moles in the abs… sexy!"

"Stop being a pervert, Kitty." Rogue says while showing a lot of restraint, not to look at the phone screen just in front of her

"Send it to the group chat too…" Paige says quietly after coughing in her hand

"..."

"You girls are as bad as we men." Spyke crosses his arms, the boys joining him with their exaggerated disappointed gazes.

"In our defense, we are not like that to every guy, just Eidolon." Tabitha explains

"...I don't know if this could make things better." Jean comments with an unsure frown

"It means that it's his fault… He makes us sin." Jubilee jokes

"He indeed has a sinful body." Paige nods wisely

"God protect him from you all." Kurt prays

It is at that moment that they hear a sonic boom outside, the old announcement that Eidolon arrived.

"Why don't you say that to him?" Jubilee provokes while everyone stands up

Illyana is already teleporting outside

"Why doesn't he just enter? Like, teleporting inside…" Robert asks "We wouldn't mind… kurt her does this all the time

"I asked that once, and he just said is to not to feed a bad habit." Kitty shrugs as they arrive at the door and opens it. She immediately smiles and says to the hero. "Eidolon!"

She passes through Illyana, who was already talking with him and ignores Raven, for now, to hug Eidolon. "I saw your fight! Super cool! You should make an anime of your adventures outside the public eye or something."

"Hello Kitty, and that would not be a bad idea down the line." He smiles lightly while patting her back slightly. "But there is the matter of my secrecy, and as much as I like being transparent, sometimes it's for the better to keep certain information from the public."

"Hm? How so?"

"Well, using yesterday as an example… some people are already searching for Dracula's Castle and trying to become vampires." He sighs

"...pfft! Sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but damm… ahaha!" She covers her mouth after she stops hugging him

"Yeah… Before pulling the veil and showing everything, I think some sort of education beforehand is warranted. I will plan it better in the future" The hero says. "I tried to keep things as educational as possible yesterday, but apparently, it is not enough."

"It was an improvisation, right?" Kitty asks

He nods "Not planned at all, I just rolled with it as it was a good chance to jump some steps in my coexistence plan." He explains before changing the subject "But let's talk about it later… I heard you guys had your own battle last night."

"Yep, it was crazy!" At this point, the rest of the X-Men catch up and greet the hero, too. "Thankfully, Raven here helped us. Hey, girl!" Kitty doesn't waste time throwing herself at women clad in dark purple beside Eidolon.

"...hi." Raven replies dryly, not hugging back, just stiffly staying there.

"Came here to investigate what happened last night, Eidolon?" Professor Xavier appears at the front door together with Ororo.

"Exactly. I am sure the X-Men dealt with it perfectly, but we should discover the reason why that happened." Eidolon nods. "With luck, it was just an accident or some natural vortex, but…"

"It is too coincidental that happened at their school while they are partying." The Professor completes

"The partying may not be the issue; Halloween is a night where magic gets stronger, and those phenomena happen… But that happened here of all places." Eidolon looks at Illyana. "Maybe the space is thin because of what happened with Illyana in the past. If it is like that, I should discover ways to prevent it."

"I see, it makes sense." The professor closes his eyes to ponder "Then by all means, do what you should do, and ask if you need our help with anything."

"Fine. For now, I just want to check the place. Kurt here was the first to see the invasion, right?"

"Yah, I can take you there." The blue teen nods

"I want to go too." Kitty suddenly says

"Me too." The others also nod, one after the other, all curious to know more of the incident last night.

"Now, now… So many people would only get in the way." Ororo says to them.

"I don't mind. It can be a little educational, and it would only be needed to use some invisibility powers to hide them." Eidolon interjects "I also plan to repair the school, so I can use that as an excuse to send the people there away while I investigate."

"Repair the school? Why? Leave it like that for some time." Spyke whines, but a great deal of his aunt made him go taut as a bow

Eidolon and the rest chuckle, seeing that "It will be boring, but that is a small part of hero work." He says "Later, I plan to go to Monster Metropolis, and I can take you guys there if you want."

"Monster Metropolis?" Xavier asks

"Another important place to monsters, like Dracula's Castle. Now with the 'Lord of the Vampires' under my custody, I have to play some politics." Eidolon sighs

The eyes of the teen shine at hearing that.

"A city of monsters? Really?" Kitty exclaims

"Vampires and werewolves?" Jubilee is also excited

"Is it safe?" Xavier asks the pertinent question

"It is very civilized… Don't worry, I will protect them…" Eidolon assures them "And they can also defend themselves if anyone looks for trouble." He adds afterwards, making the teens puff their chests a little.

"Hm, if you say so, I will trust you, Eidolon…" Xavier eventually relents "I imagine seeing such a place will expand their horizons."

"With some effort and luck, in a not-too-distant future, this kind of trip will become much more common… to everyone." Eidolon says seriously

"I truly hope so." Xavier nods with a small smile

......

A portal later, and the group arrived at a half-destroyed school. Everyone watched behind an invisible wall as the hero talked with some people that are surveying the area.

Some words later, everyone left, and they are alone as the school starts being restored slowly.

"You really have street cred, huh?" Jubilee comments, impressed

"I also talked with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to leave." He says when they find themselves in the corridor to the room where the portal appeared

"There are agents here already??" Jubilee asks in surprise

"Every time something like this happens, there will always be agents." Eidolon sighs, "Don't worry, they know to keep you guys alone. Not only does Fury have a deal with the Professor, but I also talked with him." Eidolon explains as he opens the door to the small abandoned room that was the source of the trouble.

The X-Men fill the room and look around the completely normal place.

"I checked before, but nothing was written anywhere permanently." Eidolon comments

"That means it does not have anyone's finger on it, right?" Jean hopes so

"No, there are other ways of opening portals than carving runes and magic circles on the ground." Illyana answers while looking around, sniffing the air a little.

"Yes, it could have been an item of power that was destroyed after one use, or even a single spell if the perpetrator is strong." Eidolon looks around while activating his All Seeing Eyes of God. "Did the magic in the air change form from last night to now, Raven?"

"It thinned fast despite the large amount of demons." Raven answers in an even voice "Unnaturally fast…"

"I was thinking the same thing." Eidolon looks around very suspicious "It is almost like someone… cleaned the place."

"Like erasing the evidence?" Rogue suggests

"Possibly." Eidolon says "When you investigate something like that, the first and most important thing you have to discover is the person's motives. Even their identity can be put aside initially. Someone just summoning a bunch of demons, not doing anything as they are destroyed, and just cleaning it afterwards is strange…" Eidolon holds his chin. "It is demonic magic… more specifically…"

"From the Limbo." Illyana completes "I can smell it, those demons… I would bet that they are part of that army of puppet demons we fought at the end, from Belasco's collection." She huffs indignantly

"That guy again?"

"Is he aiming for Illyana??"

The X-Men are a little worried and ready for a fight.

"Yeah, it is similar to them… but it is still unclear if it is Belasco." Eidolon contemplates while looking around "I mean, it could be him… Maybe enough time has passed, and he recovered… Maybe he sent some demons to test you guys, just some scouts before a bigger invasion… but why is the energy so thin, like he cleaned it? He is not the type to care about that. There is still something we don't know."

"Maybe he is scared of you…" Raven suggests

"Possible, but then why use demons that are easily recognizable as his?" Eidolon shrugs casually without a hint of pride. It is just a possibility, after all.

After saying that, Eidolon starts looking further, beyond this room. In front of his eyes, blue magic circles start appearing, like a magnifying lens, so that he would miss anything.

"So… Eidolon can see the flow of magic with his eyes or something like that?" Kitty asks Raven.

But Eidolon is not so concentrated that he didn't hear it, so he answers that "Something like that… wanna try?"

"Hm? Ah! You can share this vision! I remember you doing it in the interview!" Kitty suddenly gets excited "Please, Eidolon! Please! Please!"

"Why doesn't everyone try it?" Eidolon smiles and turns to him. "Anyone who wants to see through my eyes, raise your hand. You can help me search for clues."

And everyone does that. His smile increases, and with a flick of his will, he shares a low-level version of his All Seeing Eyes of God with everyone.

"Oooooohhh~" The awe is instant

"Okay, too much! Too much!" Jubilee says with her hands in front of herself, like she is blind

"Too colorful. The world is gay." Robert jokes

Some adapt faster than others, looking around seriously. Kitty decided to take a selfie with her eyes.

"Illyana, you have horns!" Paige shouts after staring at a blurry silhouette covering Illyana

"So we can stare at people's inner selves?" Rogue starts looking around. Everyone is now curious to see how they look.

"What about me? What about me?"

"You are just Spyke, Spyke."

"Ah man…"

"It means you are a guy very sure of yourself… I think." Kurt consoles him.

They see that Scott is basically a silhouette of quartz, Rogue has a black hole on her torso, and Kitty looks almost invisible… But most of them look normal when they stare at the representation of their souls.

"I would recommend not looking at me…" Raven says with a deadpan voice

"Hm? Why?" When Tabitha turns to look at Raven, Eidolon stops by, creating a wall of energy in front of her

"She is right." He says casually

"Why can't I see anything on you, Eidolon?" Kitty stares at him up and down.

"It is my power, I obviously know how to block it." He says with amusement.

"Boring~"

"Jean, why is your heart on fire? Are you in love?" Kitty asks like is no big deal.

"..." That is something Eidolon noticed recently

In the past, he never saw any showings of the Phoenix, but since Jean started surpassing her mental blocks, some fire appears on her soul, but it is just an illusion representing her connection with the Phoenix Force and not the Entity per se.

In the end, they are not of much help, but that was in line with Eidolon's expectations; he is just letting them have some fun while he works. He obviously gave some instructions on what each color is and what they are seeing.

Maybe the new knowledge about how the world truly is can help some of them use their powers. If Jubilee and Scott take it seriously, Eidolon is sure they can improve from the newfound knowledge alone.

"Hmm, below…" Eidolon finally sees it

Everyone follows his eyes and also looks below.

"I am not seeing anything…" Illyana says

"Because it is much lower." Eidolon explains and then removes the All Seeing Eyes of God from them, making them blink multiple times to adjust

Eidolon raises his hand, and a portal opens in front of him. It is not one of his usual dark portals, no… This one is a circular one, very open, making crystal clear what is on the other side.

He did that because the other room is too small for everyone to fit comfortably and he doesn't want to mess with the "crime scene".

"Wait here." He says and crosses the division in space, stepping on the side "I see… That is why it was 'clean', a sacrifice." Eidolon declares

Raven purses her lips. "So we helped someone by killing the demons and turning them back into pure demonic energy?"

"Pretty much." Eidolon answers "Well, the portal in the room where you are appeared alone, but let's see who was here."

"What are you doing?" Illyana asks

"I have a very overpowered investigative power that allows me to see images of people in the past." He explains and then he uses a combination of powers paired with Moody Blues' power to see who was in this room.

He used his own stand for that; no one can see what he is seeing, but they all see his eyes widening.

"That is a surprise…" He then turns to Jean "Tell me, Jean… Do you have an older sister?"

"Eh… no?" She replies, confused.

"Then congratulations on entering the big leagues of heroes… You have an evil twin." Eidolon says sarcastically.
