Awakening Powers and First Impressions

Next morning me and Betsy are waiting for Emma in my dorm room as we agreed with her. As we are waiting I am cleaning up the dorm room to keep it tidy.

“Hey master I had a question” Betsy says.

“Sure Betsy, what’s up?”

“How do you feel that the semester is about to start tomorrow? I bet there would be many people you’d love to use your powers on.”

“I feel kind of optimistic about it. I’m not sure exactly what I’m getting into since I imagine it won’t be like any previous schools I’ve been to. I am excited however. So many possibilities with the faces I’ll meet and potentially mess with.”

Betsy smiles at my response satisfied.

“Well thats great to hear master. I just wanted to say, even though I’ll be on and about doing my duties with students and all, do not hesitate to ask me for any help. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

“Thank you Betsy, I’ll definitely keep that in mind,” I smile.

Shortly there after, Emma arrives to the dorm room and sees the both of us just there.

“I seriously can’t believe that I am doing this,” she scolded.

“Hey you know our agreement”, I reminded her.

“I’m aware of that, but that doesn’t mean I am particularly proud of it. I can’t even begin to imagine what you’ll be doing after what happens today.”

“Well whether you like it or not, you are an accomplice because you couldn’t get enough of the pleasure I gave you,” I tease.

“Yeah yeah I know, I’d never have imagined that I would submit like this.”

“Hey who knows, maybe in the future you’ll be as eager as Betsy is.”

“Anyways”, Emma rolled her eyes, “so you called me here today to help you unlock the potential of your powers?”

“Yes that’s correct, when Betsy had a look in my mind, she informed me that there are abilities that my own mind blocks from being able to perform. What they are, I’m not sure. Her suggestion is to get a stronger telepathic to be able to unlock that pathway to the versatility of my powers.”

“I can definitely do that, but I must warn you that unlocking powers when not intended can cause you to be more gassed out from using them.”

“How can I prevent that?”

“Well, experience would be my suggestion. Your brain is a muscle after all and just like any other muscle, you need to train it to become stronger and resistant. So if you want to handle said powers, you need to master them.”

“Alright well how are you gonna do this?”

“I’m basically going to enter your mind to help you with your little roadblock.”

We then both sit face to face as she focuses on my mind.

“I see that Betsy put some sort of shield on your brain’s functionality. You don’t trust me?” She teases.

“Well from what happened last time, it’s better to be safe than sorry. So this is a bit of an ‘insurance policy’.”

Betsy feels proud of herself for doing that while Emma rolls her eyes. “So paranoid…”

I don’t really feel any pain at all. It almost felt like meditation going through the process. I did feel my head growing lighter. As if my mind was being tampered with, almost like if it were levitating. For what was a pretty long while, Emma finishes with the process and out of nowhere I felt a shockwave in my brain causing me to recoil.

“Ow, what the fuck was that.”

“That means that the process was complete.”

“So what was it that you saw?”

“You have a very intricate mind. I’d say even more than Charles Xavier himself. Not from intelligence, but from how it connects with your powers. I must say however, there is one block way still inside there that I couldn’t access through. It would require a telepath even greater than myself at a cosmic level to execute.”

“Well that’s a bummer.”

“No need to get so pouty, you should still be able to do new stuff with your powers. No need to be ungrateful,” Emma says in an almost sassy way.

“So what is it that I can pull off now?”

“Well previously you were only to just stop people in time. Now, once you get the hang of it, you are able to freeze certain parts of them at a time both at a physical and a mental level. Additionally, you’re now able to freeze multiple people at a time.”

“How many exactly?”

“I’m not quite sure, you’d have to figure that out yourself.”

That got my mind thinking as I heard on the tweaks of my powers.

“Can you elaborate on freezing certain parts of the body?”

“Well in order to better explain, you’d need a volunte-“

“I’ll do it master,” Betsy interrupts. “You can test it on me, I trust you.”

“By the gods Betsy”, Emma shakes her head, “no shame at all.”

Betsy gets in front of us and just patiently waits.

“Betsy freeze”

After the words leave my mouth Betsy remains completely frozen. She looks as stiff as a doll with no life being her eyes. Emma watches as it unfolds.

“Alright then now try and unfreeze any part of her body.”

I nod my head and follow as such, “Betsy resume lower body.”

After I’ve said those words, her legs aren’t still anymore and return to normal. I approach her and caress her thighs. They feel normal. I then went and compared it to her arms and her arms felt more stiff.

“Betsy resume upper body, keep head frozen.”

As I give the command, I notice how in a split of a second, her arms go from stiff, to more relaxed. It was almost unsettling.

Emma watches in amusement as I experiment with my powers.

“Good now try utilizing her mind to freeze and unfreeze.”

I look at Betsy thinking on what would be the best way to test it. I decide to start from square one.

“Betsy freeze full body”

Her body becomes fully stiff as before.

“Betsy unfreeze body and consciousness, except for your movement functions.”

I then observe as how her body is relaxed again but I see her eyes moving. Without her motor functions she can’t move and would just be stood still while I’d do as I pleased.

“Woah…” I say in astonishment. “Betsy if you can hear me, move your eyes up and down.”

I watch as she did so and I am astonished. “Holy shit the potential in this.” I then approach Betsy’s body and start massaging her tits. “Betsy can you feel this?” Once again she moves her eyes up and down to confirm that she can feel it. “Betsy fully resume”

Afterwards, Betsy regains control of her body. “Wow master… that was incredible.”

“Don’t gas him up Betsy,” Emma said begrudgingly, “no need to increase his ego higher than it will already be.”

I felt a lot of pride upon finding this new function to my powers. However I did feel just a tad bit drained from doing so. “Emma I do feel a bit tired after fully releasing Betsy.”

“That is the side effect on tapping into something you don’t have much experience on. You’ll need to train yourself to be able to withstand it or you’ll not be able to make it throughout the day while using your powers. Anyways I served what we agreed to. I do expect you to live up on your promise with the pleasure you’ll grant me.”

“Yea I will don’t you worry about that.”

With that Emma left the room, “I can’t believe I’m letting that little brat do all this…” she mutters.

The next day arrives and it is Orientation day. I was sent in an email that’s I’d have to meet in the university’s gym to start the day. I woke up from my dorm and got ready to head over there. That past tiredness from yesterday was gone and I felt more energized. I knew I had to keep a lookout for an opportunity to train said powers as I am still unsure how many people I can freeze in time now. I made my way towards the gymnasium and I saw a good amount of students. Although the campus is pretty big, there weren’t that many students for it. Guess it is pretty rare to be gifted with the X-gene. Everyone sat on the bleachers so I followed suit. I took a moment to look at my future classmates. There was a variety of both boys and girls who I’ll probably bump into when the semester starts. Shortly after, the orientation started. Out came this gorgeous woman with red hair with white stripes and an amazing fucking body. “Holy shit…” I thought.

“Welcome yall to your Orientation Day. My name is Anna Marie but you can call me Rogue. The goal for today is to get yall accustomed to this wonderful campus as well ensure yall grow to become not only great heroes, but great people as well. Now how this is gonna work is we’ll separate yall into different groups and each group will be assigned an orientation leader to guide you through campus. Let me introduce them now.”

As she went to go get the other group leaders, I kept my fingers crossed that she’d be my leader. “God I really hope it’s her, please be her please be her”, I muttered.

Eventually rogue came back and riled all the Orientation leaders up. “So the leaders for today will be Colossus, Jubilee, Cyclops, Gambit, and Myself. We have a list of names over at the exit so just find your name and go to your orientation leader.”

All the students went towards the exit of the gymnasium to find their name. I go to see mine and was disappointed. “Come on really, I get Cyclops?” I complained. “Fuck I would’ve loved Rogue.”

“What’s the matter weirdo? Bummed that your fantasies weren’t gonna come true?” A voice says.

I turn around to see who said that and see this hot fucking blonde. She was wearing black clothing with fishnets and she had what looked almost like horns on her head. She was skinny but she did have a rack on her.

She laughs at my face as I looked confused “what are you talking about?”

“Come on now,” she says “everyone could notice the drool coming out of your mouth from staring at Rogue. Keep it in your pants and get yourself a girlfriend loser.”

Colossus then comes out from the exit and notices her. “Illyana it’s almost time to start, come.”

She rolled her eyes and followed, “just when I was having fun, this isn’t over you pervert,” she says.

“Damn what a bitch”, I mutter.

I then begrudgingly make my way towards my group which is with Cyclops. It was a group of six that I was put in.

“Hello students, I am Scott summers but you can refer to me as Cyclops. I’ll guide you long campus and make sure you’ll feel like at home whilst your time here.”

We went through each of the rooms that the mutants teach. We met Beast, Archangel, Wolverine, Nightcrawler. My attention wasn’t really there until we went to the environmental science room. It was this black woman who looked super gorgeous. She had this silver white hair and a very toned body. She was known as Storm and apparently is one of the more powerful mutants. I did keep a mental note to visit her at some point. My intrigue quickly diminished after we left her room. We went over some of the other classrooms, expectations, rules to follow, all the standard shit. We eventually had a lunch break and everyone sat down to eat. I was honestly thankful for this because I was starving. I saw this one girl from my group barely getting her food and sit with us. She was kinda pretty the more I looked at her. Just then, illyana just barges in and rudely bumps shoulder to shoulder with her causing her to drop some of her food.

“You fucking asshole”, she says, “what’s your problem?”

“Look what happens when you don’t watch where you were going,” illyana teased as she walked away.

The girl, still mad, sat at the table pissed off at what just happened. I looked at my plate and decided to try and lift her mood a bit. I approached her.

“Hey, you could have my pizza.”

The girl looks up in a precautious way.

“Are you sure?” She asks.

“Yes I insist. It’s not fair for what she did to you so this is to try and make up for what she did.”

“What are you her brother or something?”

“God fuck no,” I laugh, “but she was being an asshole to me too earlier so I know how it feels.”

The girl smiles and she accepts my plate. I sat down next to her as I felt more comfortable.

“I’m Cassidy, Cassidy Owens” I say to her.

The girl reaches out her hand to shake mine “I’m Laura Kinney.” She says.

She looks a bit delighted as she eats the food that I offered her.

“So,” I ask, “what have you thought of the campus so far?”

“I mean it’s been alright. A lot of variety from what I saw. But ughhh, Cyclops can be such a Boy Scout.”

“RIGHTT” I said “I thought I was the only one who thought that. I get that you wanna make a good impression to the newbies but man it’s just cringey.”

She gives a small chuckle. “Yea I can agree on that.”

Just then out lunch time is over and we both go to cyclops to resume the tour. As we are walking from classroom to classroom, I continue to talk with Laura.

“So are you related to any mutants here?” She asks.

“No I’m not actually. How about you?”

“Yea, my dad is Logan- I mean Wolverine.”

“He’s your dad?? Holy shit he’s the one that look the most feisty out of the mutants here.”

“Yea it’s kind of hard to get on his good side. He sees right through the bullshit of people.”

“I take it that you share similar powers to him then?”

She sighs upon hearing the question. “You could say that yes. It’s kind of complicated.”

“Oh sorry I didn’t mean to enter any touchy subjects.”

“No it’s fine, you didn’t know so I won’t hold it against you. Anyways what does the x-gene give you?”

“Well I actually have the power to-“

“HEY”, Cyclops shouts. “Are you paying attention to what I’m saying?”

I freeze as I got caught of guard. “Uh yes I am.”

“Alright then since you’re sure you know what I’m talking about, why don’t you repeat what I just said about this room?” He states.

I didn’t know what to say so I just kept my mouth quiet.

“Exactly that’s what I thought. If you aren’t going to pay attention to what I have to say then you shouldn’t even be here. These are serious things I’m going over. Now pay attention before you embarrass yourself more.” Other than Laura, the rest of the group chuckles at me for being called out.

Afterwards he calmed down and continues with the tour. Internally however, I was pissed. He had no reason to humiliate me in front of everyone and Laura knew too. After the tour was finally over we were all dismissed. I walk out still pissed off about it and Laura followed me.

“Hey Cassidy”, she calls out.

“What’s up.”

“Honestly Cyclops was a bitch for having called you out back there. I don’t know why he did that as it was uncalled for.”

“Yea I agree, I get I didn’t pay attention but he didn’t have to put me on the spot.”

“Let’s just hope it doesn’t happen to you again.”

That calmed me down a little upon hearing that. “Thanks Laura, I hope we bump into each other again soon.”

Laura returns the smile

“I’m sure we will, it’s not like there’s a lot of students in here anyways” she chuckles.

“Yea true. I’ll see you then.”

As I made my back to the dorm, that little confrontation still had me all bothered.

“Fucking cyclops… I’ll make sure to get my get back with him soon.” I say still frustrated. I decided to get all my sheets and put them over at the shared washing machines we have. I make my way with sheets in hand over there and spot a few people already there using the machines. I decide that this would be a perfect way to test the limitations of how many people I can freeze at a time. I didn’t know any one of their names so I could only hope that if I addressed everyone at once. They’d all freeze.

“All of you freeze.” I shouted.

Fair enough, everyone did freeze. There was 7 people in the room with me, I’ve never frozen this many people before so I know that the mental blockage Emma eliminated did actually work. There was only two girls and 5 guys (haha) that were in the room. I did feel a little bit a strain on my brain for having to hold the time stop. I wanted to pull a little prank on them while I tested out my powers. First thing I did was kind of innocent enough. One of the girls was a short brunette with a decent figure who looked like she was about to pick up her laundry basket. I gently caress her tits as I try to think on what I can do. I look at her laundry basket to see if I could get an idea. It was kind of surprising for the amount of clothes she had in there. “Holy shit you must run through your whole closet weekly” I said. Just then a thought popped up in my mind. I picked up her laundry basket and exchanged it with the other basket of one of the guys. Now it looked like she was picking his laundry and the guy was picking up her laundry. I went dug into her laundry basket to try and find a pair of her panties. Sure enough I did and I placed them on the hand of the guy to make him hold it. I brought them up to his nose as if he was taking a long whiff of them. I then move back and get back to where I was ready to unfreeze time.

“Everyone resume”

I saw as everyone just started moving as if nothing happened. The woman picked up the basket in front of her but was very confused as to why it was men’s clothing. “What the fuck?” She thought. She looked around and he saw a guy with her laundry basket with her panties in his hands.

“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING.”

She goes up to him and slaps him in the face.

“I-I don’t even know how-“ the guy tries to speak as he is really confused on what just happened.

“You shameless shithead. Taking my fucking clothes.” She keeps yelling at him. The people around try to calm the situation as I exit the room trying to hold in my laughter. Making my way to my room, I did start to feel the strain in my head from the amount of people I had stopped. I at least knew I could stop 7 people at once. It’s bit of a risk trying to go for more as the limit is still unknown. For now tho, this is what I’ll be following. As I got to my room I did feel the strain from my brain from stopping 7 people at once so I decided to take a quick nap to recover.

After I woke up, I decided to give Betsy a call to see if she can give me an idea on how I can get back at Cyclops. I told her about what happened back at orientation and she can understand my frustration.

“I’m so sorry to hear that master,” she says.

“Yeah it was this whole thing embarrassing me in front of everyone. So what do you suggest I should do?”

“Scott is a pretty private person when it comes to his personal life. I’m sure you can find something in his office that can be used against him. Have you tested your limit on the amount of people affected by your time stop?”

“I was able to stop at least 7 people at a time but I’m not sure if that was my limit.”

“That’s perfect. I must warn you however, Scott’s wife could become a problem to you if you aren’t careful.”

“Why? What’s so special about her?”

“She surpasses both Emma and I when it comes to telepathy. She is one of the strongest mutants here. Her name is Jean. You could definitely stop her in time but it’ll be tricky since she can detect your presence easily.”

“So what do you think I should do?”

“Meet me tomorrow before school, we can discuss further, master.”

“Alright Betsy I’ll see you there.”

I hang up and get ready for tomorrow.

Authors note:

Hello guys, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I decided that if I’m going further with this story it was necessary to have a little bit of an exposition to how the powers work and what we can look forward to. I decided to sprinkle in some of the characters that you guys voted to be in this story so they’ll be more relevant when I eventually get to them. Im pretty sure you could get an idea of the direction I’d like to take them. As promised, the next chapter will be focused on the winner as I already have an idea for that. Hope you will be looking forward to it. :)
