Superhero Write-up Part II (More of "the Family")
Now that the first part of my team was in place, I tried to find other heroes who would work well with the other members in a variety of situations. I needed to find someone who could stand up to my livid telepathic enemies, had a good heart, could help my team communicate well with each other, and wasn’t batty. I had been thinking of the perfect person all along, and luckily she was still able and willing to make the trip. This was before I even mentioned to her that she would be joined on the island by her future husband. What luck! Rachel Summers is powerful, beautiful, engaging, funny, and a joy to be around.
Her telekinetic and telepathic skills know no bounds!
So I still had two spots in the guesthouse left, and I decided that I needed a little help setting up and encrypting that satellite Wifi for the island. Sage was more than happy to help, and in fact royally creamed me at chess, Risk, pool, and bowling all while she was creating our island’s elaborate mechanized defense systems. She was able to remain at her post in the Crystal Palace, and also take physical or holographic form on our island simultaneously, phasing in and out when desired. Her connection to the nexis of the Omniverse has also helped in removing unwanted "visitors" to alternate environments as she can teleport them anywhere she desires through astral projection.
Sage helped Professor X build his telepathic amplifier
Cerebro, and she built a similar contraption for Rachel as well, allowing her to
increase her powers exponentially. Furthermore, she was a great help to the other team members, as she was able to teach each of them to control, expand, and adapt their powers to far greater potentials than any of them imagined. She's also giving everyone language, martial arts, fencing, shooting, boxing, and computer programming lessons too. I have an archery course set up, and she constructed a
subterranean "danger room" to practice and train in.
Finally, the last selection to round out our new family was for my son again. Along with being
the most powerful mutant in existence, Franklin exuded a goodness, and a fondness for his new “family” immediately. He would go with Aslan and my son on long exploratory adventures around the island, coming back with epic tales of their experiences. He has quickly become a family favorite for his warm manner, his hyper intelligence, and his ability to learn new things. He is now almost attached to my son at the hip. I feel this is a good thing because Sage and Aslan are quickly teaching Franklin to control and perfect his reality manifestation powers, reaching depths of creative potential I could have never imagined. He has already taken quite a “liking” to Rachel, who is older, but more beautiful everyday. Franklin has spoken to me of his plans to alter his age eventually and settle down with Rachel as his wife.
With the team together, we decided that the most important aspects of living together would be communication, teamwork, a fun loving yet secure atmosphere, and active participation by all members.
Franklin endowed my family with several helpful powers, so that we could do our own part. We are all now
telepathic and telekinetic, helping us communicate with each other, and manage heavy tasks more easily. I am also now able to
create shape shifting super clones of myself to help do several things at once. They can manifest various superpowers and abilities through each cloning with a variety of desired effects.
Rogue set to work to improve the living areas with Rachel and my wife, creating a comfortable home base for the team, while Aslan explored the island with the children to keep a watchful eye, and teach them the ways of the world.
Sage has taught Rogue to control and perfect her powers, to bring back and contain all the powers that she has ever absorbed without negative "side effects". She is now a powerful telepath like Jean Grey, has Cyclop's optic blast capability without the need for glasses, can supercharge objects like gambit, shapeshift like mystique, heal like wolverine, move like the Beast, control the weather better than Storm, create frost constructs like Iceman, and so much more! Plus, she only absorbs life force when she wants now, and is free to touch finally!
We created a fishing pond, with the help of some talking Beavers, and built a beautiful self sustaining garden managed by a dryad family that Aslan created. I fixed up the fishing boat, and Sage added some mechanized improvements as well. Finally, Sage, the Silver Surfer, Rachel, and myself adapted the island to be an epic playground, and impenetrable fortress from our enemies.
The island perimeter now contains a cloaking device, hidden EMP mines and solar bombs for those mechanized and undead neighbors, roving security superclone lookouts, random teleportation portal walls, spellcraft wards, and force fields which makes it invisible to all trespassers, impervious to air, sea, and land attacks, yet comfortable for us and the animals and plants that we decided on. Franklin, Aslan, and my son have also told me that they made several other “improvements” too. Aslan has been waking the plant and animal life, teaching them magical ways, and how to speak with, provide for, and protect the family.
We couldn’t be happier, and I feel very blessed and secure at our new home. We really are like one big family now, and the dynamic is wonderful to be a part of.
