Susan's P.O.V.
Marcus has asked me to keep a secret just between us. I can't help but to wonder what this tiny little angel has to say. He could tell me he is the son of God and I would believe it. Why you ask? Because he now has a place in my heart. His place in my heart has already started to surpass the place of my fiancé Reed Richards. This cute little angel somehow has worked his way so far into my heart I would give him everything I have to make him happy. So I am paying close attention to what he has to say.
"Big sister Susan. You have to swear to never tell anyone what I am about to tell you." He tells me as he looks around making sure no one else can hear him.
"Of course I will swear for you. Here give me your pinky and we will pinky swear." I say as I stick out my pinky for him to grab.
"Okay." He replies and grabs my pinky with his tiny little finger. I look into his beautiful blue eyes and all I see is trust. It is a new experience for me. I can see into his soul that all he has for me is trust, unconditional trust. After grabbing my pinky he begins to tell me his secret.
"Big sister Sue, since being born I have had visions of the future. I saw what is happening today three months ago. I know how things will end here. While you held me earlier I had a vision of your future if things go as they are. It was a future that scared me, but I feel I need to tell you." He solemnly tells me with sorrow in his voice and gaze.
"What do you mean?" I hear myself ask him.
"Uatu will communicate with Galactus and he will refuse to listen. Then Reed will demonstrate his ability to use the Ultimate Nullifier. This will scare Galactus into giving his word to leave and promise to never seek to destroy or devour the Earth as long as we do not threaten him. All Reed has to do is hand over the Ultimate Nullifier. Galactus will keep his word and leave. However, he will imprison the Silver Surfer to stay on Earth. This imprisonment shall last until Galactus himself releases it which he shall do when he realizes that the Silver Surfer was the greatest Herald he will ever have. He will also take a second herald a female human, who has the same powers as your brother Johnny. She will accept to be his Herald because Johnny will have broken her heart. That is the future I have seen when it comes to Galactus." Marcus tells me with a vocabulary far beyond his years.
"I can't believe it." I say in astonishment.
"Please keep your voice down. There is more I have to tell you." Marcus tells me in a very serious tone. I am looking into his eyes and I don't see any doubt in him. He truly believes what he is telling me. He seems to be hesitating about telling me what future he saw for me.
"And what future did you see for me?" I ask him while staring into his eyes. He at first looks away from me, but then he faces me again and I can see tears in his eyes. He is crying for me because he has seen a future that has saddened him greatly. I feel myself heart in my throat. I can't look away. I have to hear what he is about to tell me.
"Big sister Sue, I have seen both happiness and great sadness in your future. You and Reed go on to get married and have a child together and his name shall be Franklin Richards. That is the happy part of your future. Now for the sad parts. First, you will have many fights with a once close friend Victor Von Doom. Second, the child you will give birth to will be the single most powerful being ever created. He will be so powerful that he will make Galactus his Herald. This same chance for him to be born also leads to him killing you in multiple time lines before he is ever born. However, once he is conceived many time lines are destined to happen. Amongst those future events Franklin have to be sequestered away from you with a woman named Aunt Agatha. She will take him away from you to train him in his powers and to keep reality as we know it safe. There are even futures where you miscarry him. In those futures you become a villainess known as malice. You eventually almost kill Reed before snapping back to your true self. Unfortunately after that happens you become forever plagued by a split personality as Malice. Your life will be full of trials and heavy tribulations if you marry and stay with Reed Richards. I am most reluctant to tell you this because in these futures I saw you love with all your heart and suffer over and over again. I trust you because in those futures I saw the real you. You are a loving wife and mother who will do anything to protect those that she loves. Even your split personality comes about because you feel hatred for Reed not saving your baby. IF Franklin Richards is born, he will become the child of prophecy for the High Celestials. The prophesy states he will go on to be the sole survivor of our universe and become the next Galactus when the universe is reborn." Marcus pauses for a moment and I see the tears roll down his cheeks, each tear a shot into my soul. "I'm sorry for crying. I just don't want to see you suffer like that. However, I can't change the future. I can only give you the chance to change it. If you leave Reed then many of the trials and tribulations you will suffer shall disappear. Franklin may still be born or he may not. I don't know him. I do know you, and honestly, I love you." Marcus says while looking into my eyes.
I can see it and feel it in my heart and soul. He isn't lying. He even knows names of people he shouldn't know like Victor Von Doom. A cherished college friend and rival of Reed's for my affection. A name of a man who has disappeared from our lives. He has given me names of people I don't know and those I do.
I know my Aunt Agatha. It was at her advice I went to college where I fell in love with Reed. Aunt Agatha is known as a witch. Rumors had it she is a very powerful witch. Some say she can even foretell the future. What if she actually saw a future of me giving birth to a supreme being that she will train. Apparently she will turn my baby boy into a savior of our world for a time and then into a destroyer for the future universe when it is reborn. Why am I believing this little boy? Because he is telling me things there is know way for him to know if he doesn't have the power he is proclaiming to have.
"Marcus dear, let us say I believe you. What would you have me do?" I ask him as I look into his eyes.
"Stay with me. I love you and would want you to stay with me. I will gain a special power in the future. It will allow me to halt the aging process for anyone at the age of 30. It can even reverse a person's age over time until they have the body of a 30 year old." He tells me with full sincerity. I can see it in his eyes. Everything he is telling me is the truth. He is in love with me. Once he gets that power age will no longer matter. We will eventually be the same age. He and I can be together in the future he is talking about.
"What is my future like if I become yours?" I ask. I have to know. He has told me what my future will be like with Reed. Now I must know, what wil it be like with him. I stay focused on his eyes. They lose focus for a minute. It must be his power activating. Showing him futures where I am with him. I watch closely, and I notice when his power stops. He looks away from me for a second and blushes. What did he see I wonder to make him blush?
"Well Marcus, tell big sister Sue what does the future hold for me if I stay with you?" I ask him calmly, but inside it is eating me up and I must know.
"Well big sister, I saw us doing adult things together may times. I saw you getting pregnant with my child a young girl. I saw us have many fun times together. However, those are the good points. The bad points are as follows. You will not be my only companion. I will have many women. Those women will form a sisterhood amongst themselves. This sisterhood shall face many villains as a group. They will bond and become as close as twins, never forsaking each other always close and united. Many of those in the sisterhood will be unexpected additions. In short I will have a harem and if you stay with me you will be part of that harem. I will love every member equally and share my time with every member. I will make every member immortal as long as they stay with me." He tells me this information with a straight but blushing face. He isn't hiding anything from me. He is blushing because of what he saw and maybe because of him being ashamed to have a harem, but he is being truthful and honest with me. So now I have to pick and choose. A life of hardship and possible death with a man I love or a life of being a member in a harem with a different man who I am coming to love. However, it seems I will not be just any member. If I join him now I will be the first member. I need time to think. I need to see if the immediate future he is foretelling will come to pass. If it does then I know what my answer will be.
"Marcus. I need time to think about what you have told me. I promise no one will ever hear a word of what you have told me unless you yourself give me permission to tell them. However, I need time to make my decision between you are Reed. I love Reed and I have fallen in love with you. Choosing between you two is not an easy decision for me to make. I need time to think carefully about my decision before I make it. Please understand I do love you, but I also love Reed." I say to him as my heart is in being torn.
"I understand, my dear big sister Sue. No matter what choice you make. I will have done all I can." Marcus tells me with a tear in his eye.
"Marcus tells me do you know what my choice will be?" I ask him.
"No. I cannot see the immediate future. I see bits and pieces of the future at least 3 months out. My visions are never about the immediate future. They are always about something that will happen in the distant future. For example: there will be a young man named Peter Parker. He is a genius level scientist in his own right. He will be bitten by a radioactive spider. He will eventually become known as Spiderman.
There will be a group of heroes who will be brought together they will be named the Avengers. I have seen one of there members an amazing scientist. His name is Tony Stark. He will become known as Ironman after nearly dieing. He will invent things that will change our lives forever.
I have seen many futures big sister. Some I remember, some I cannot until I see a reminder about them. That is what happened with you. I had forgotten about your futures until you held me. Then all of those future events came rushing into my mind. You sit at a crossroads. Whatever you decide is a decision only you can make. My visions have only shown me what happens down each road you can choose. It doesn't tell me what choice at a person's crossroads they will make." Marcus tells me with a look of longing in his eyes. He seems to long for knowledge and to know what my choice will be. I can see both hope and dread warring in his eyes. All of a sudden he kisses me on the lips. I feel a shot of electricity run through my heart body and soul. God that felt amazing.
It just leaves me with another thing to think about. Maybe if I speak to Reed and see what he thinks. I will not tell him I know the future. I will just ask him hypothetically what he recommends between a future with me but full of suffering and even my possible death, or a future without me and me hardly ever suffering.
Marcus' P.O.V.
There I have laid the ground work. I hope she believes me. I watch Sue walk away from me in a daze, after my kiss. I told her the truth first about her future with Reed. Now the truth about us, well I have it in mind to make it exactly that. I can already keep us immortal. Between my healing factor, ability sharing, and my ability to stop the aging process. I can make myself and 2 others immortal. I really need to find a way to increase my ability that allows sharing.
(Hey System, is it possible to increase the number of people I can share my abilities with if I put further restrictions on that ability? For example: I can share one of my powers with any number of targets, but I must share intimate relations with those targets. Or maybe a restriction like I can share my abilities but only so long as I have visual sight of the people I wish to share with.)
The Fantasy System is detecting a fantasy that requires a quest. A Quest and a Hidden Quest have been altered.
Quest: Have a foursome within at least one of the following Megan Bagwell, Cassandra Blaze, and or Susan Storm. Host must complete within 6 months of sexual organs becoming active has been altered. New quest alterations: Host must have a foursome that includes all of the following women within a month of sexual organs becoming active. Members must be Megan Bagwell, Cassandra Blaze, and Susan Storm. This alteration has removed a Hidden Quest. Rewards: Hosts power to share his powers with other shall still be limited to just 2 people. However, an exception has been added: all physical powers may be shared with anyone the Host has shared sexual relations with. Physical powers include, increased strength, stamina, speed, agility, healing, recovery, and any other power or ability the affects the physical body directly.
Alert: A new Hidden Quest has been detected. Some information is being transmitted by the Akashic Records.
New Hidden Quest:
Quest Name: Who has time to wait?
No other information has been released.
(A quest name: Who has time to wait? What are they implying. Is there something in my future I need to do in a hurry? What must I do? How long do I have? Akashic Records you are killing me here. Why couldn't you have just told me what to do?)
Host, the Akashic Records do not give information that will lead one down a certain path. At best they give hints to paths one can choose to follow. There must be a path you could take if you so chose to follow it. It will always be a path you could take if you wanted. The key word is COULD. Meaning you have the ability to take that path. Whether you choose that path or not it up to you.
(Fine, I will think about it later. Right now, I have to convince mom and auntie to breastfeed me soon. Speak of the devils. Look who just came out of the kitchen.)
I look up and see my mother and aunt come out of the kitchen with trays of drinks and snacks. I watch them walk around and pass each person here a drink of their choosing while offering them something to eat. Most accept the drinks. Only the men accept the snacks. Only Uatu, refuses both with a smile. I watch people peel off and start talking amongst themselves. Johnny and Uatu, Ben and the Silver Surfer, Reed and Susan and here comes my mom and her sister towards me. They hand me a sippy cup.
"Here you go sweetie." My aunt says as she passes me my cup. "Your favorite milk straight from the source." She finishes with a blush. I look up and see my mother also blushing. If I'm understanding this right. Did my mother and aunt milk each other, just to produce a sippy cup full of breast milk for me? My heart starts racing at the thought of them doing that for me. I can feel the love in their gaze as they watch me expectantly waiting to see what I am going to say.
"Thank you mommy. Thank you auntie. I love you both." I say then take a long drink from my sippy cup. It is still warm so I can tell it is very fresh. It isn't as good as getting it straight from the source myself but it is still tasty and full of love. I smile at them both and reach out for a hug. They both hug me.
"I love you my little man." My mother says in my right ear.
" I love you sweetie." My aunt says in my left ear.
I hug them with my head between their heads and whisper, "Thank you both for making me a sippy cup it is wonderful, but I still prefer you letting me get my own milk from the souce as a family." While whispering quietly in their ears I release my pheromones on them both. In a few seconds I can sense their own pheromones mixing with mine as their bodies get turned on.
"Hey Mommy and Auntie, I have been thinking about big sister Sue, and here are my thought. I think she is wonderful, nice, and pretty, but what do you two think about her?"
"I think she is a great person. I actually promised her that if you fit her imagination once you became an adult. If she was single she could see about dating you." My mother quickly responds which is a bit of a surprise for me and my Aunt.
"Well I don't know much about her but she seems to be protective of you which is a plus in my book. She was ready to go to war with your Uncle Ben for calling you a brat, and she slapped her own brother upside the head when he was rude towards you. So overall I think she is a good person." My Aunt Meg gives her opinion.
"I was thinking she would be a good addition to our family." I say as I look in her and Reed's direction. As I hold my "parents" I buy enhanced senses hearing and vision to level 1, along with Night Vision for a total of 5 points leaving me 6 points left. After buying them I try to focus my hearing on Reed and Susan's conversation.
"I'm sorry Susan. I have a more important matter on my mind right now. If I cannot get the Ultimate Nullifier to work we will not have a future with or without suffering. I will be more than happy to discuss this with you after we are safe." I hear Reed say. I can guess what they were talking about from just that sentence. Sue must have gone and asked Reed about them being together or being separated if being together caused immense suffering. With Reed's anxious attitude, he has overlooked one key factor. The decision to be together for Sue is bigger than the world ending. She already has assurance from me the world will not end. Thus, Reed's dismissal and counter for talking at a later time, while completely true, is pushing Susan away from him. I motion for Sue to come over. While she approaches us I have something to say to my family.
"Mommy, Auntie Meg, can you let me speak to big sister Sue privately? I want to ask a favor of her." I say.
"Sure sweetheart we can give you a little time alone." My mother says with a wink. She then grabs my aunt's arm and pulls her away when Sue gets to us.
"Relax Sue, I know what is on your mind. I have some more things to share with you. I also ask you to lend me a communicator so I can give you real time updates as my mind remembers the futures I saw." I tell her.
"Okay." She says her mind preoccupied with her conversation with Reed. Thus, I commence to tell her more details about her future timelines while we wait for Uatu's signal.
"It is time I go speak with Galactus. Mrs. Blaze, I thank you for your hospitality. I will give you a word of knowledge. Your husband is still alive as of this moment." And with that last statement he vanishes as if he was never there.
--- Above the planet Earth---
The being known as Galactus is working on assembling his world converter when he senses a powerful presence appear near him. He turns around and his eyes start to glow. Before him stands another gigantic figure. This being has a large bald head and is wearing what looks like an ancient Greek toga. It is the watcher Uatu.
"Hail Galactus may I have a moment of your time?" Uatu calls out.
"A Watcher? Interesting very well Watcher. I can make time to speak with you, but know this the hunger has started to rise within me. So I suggest you make it quick." Galactus states as he pauses the construction of his world converter.
"I ask that you leave this planet and these beings alone. For the very same reasons your Herald the Silver Surfer gave you earlier. The beings on this planet have immense potential. They could at one point even save you own life. I ask only a favor of you leaving them alone and I shall give you the coordinates of a young planet that will fit your needs without any current sentient life forms." Uatu pleads. At the same time he gives the singal for Sue to take action then he teleports Johnny into the edge of Galactus' ship.
"I know not what you play at Watcher. Your kind has sworn an oath to not take direct action in conflicts yet you ask me to leave." Galactus states.
"I am not interfering in any conflict as of yet the inhabitants of this world have not come into conflict with you. I must warn you though. The inhabitants here hold immense potential and latent powers. There are even some that may very well be able to fight you. This planet has a link to the one known as Odin and the Asgardians. As well as a distant link to the Collector and the Celestials. There is even a clue about your arch nemesis Ego the living planet. So I ask again knowing this information will you please spare this planet and leave. I have offered a favor and help plus information." Uatu tries to convince Galactus to leave.
"Nay Watcher nothing you say will make me change my mind. This universe follows the basic rule of the strong shall live the weak shall perish. If this planet was truly as special as you say there would be beings stepping up to confront me." Galactus refuses.
"I have said my peace. I have dissuaded the inhabitants from confrontation with you to allow me to speak with you before hand. Since my negotiations have failed you and the inhabitants of this place may fight it out as you wish." With those words Uatu vanishes and gives Ben and Sue the signal to start their fight. He tells Johnny to hurry. He then tells Reed and the Silver Surfer to get ready. Once they are ready he teleports them and the battle with Galactus commences.
