MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM

(Nunu Note: I have to admit that I got a little carried away writing this chapter, making the amount of words here almost double that of a normal chapter, enjoy!)

"Dude, I felt like my heart was going to come out of my mouth!" Kurt said as he sat up with a scared expression.

Scott next to Kurt wasn't much better, as his hand holding the glass with a Drink was also shaking a lot.

Alex looked at this with grace and asked. "What was the top speed?"

Kurt just shook his head. "I was too scared to notice."

Scott who directed Bee showed a blank expression. "The most I dared to accelerate was 230 mph (360 km/h), after that I felt that my arms were getting weak and I was afraid to accelerate further."

Alex nodded, if he didn't know that Bee was a Transformers with much more advanced technology than current cars and didn't have Toretto's driving skills, he wouldn't have the courage to go so fast either, since at such speeds high, a slight error is fatal.

"And you, Alex, what was your highest?" Anna who was next to Alex holding his hand asked curiously.

"I think it was 300 mph (480 km/h)." Alex responded matter-of-factly, which made Kurt and Scott's expressions freeze.

If they were already so scared at 230 mph, at 300 mph they would have passed out.

"Sounds like fun." Anna commented.

Alex waved. "It's a lot of fun. Since our bet was canceled because the game stopped after the fight, how about we consider it a win for both of us?"

Anna thought about it and nodded with a smile. "I think it's fair."

"Argument?" Kurt asked confused as Scott frowned.

After listening to Anna's explanation, as the leader of the X-men, Scott was quite disappointed with Bobby's attitude in using his powers on Alex while not knowing that Alex also had powers.

"Sorry about that." Scott said with a serious expression to Alex.

Seeing how serious and polite Scott was being, Alex couldn't help but comment. "You and Jean are a great match, right?"

"You think?!" Scott asked excitedly as his voice got louder, attracting the curious attention of the other people around, making him a little embarrassed.

"It's because you don't know Scott yet, he's too straight for Jean." Anna sighed a little disappointed, knowing why her friend didn't date Scott.

Hearing this, Scott was a little embarrassed, but he didn't deny it.

Thinking about what he knew about the X-men, Alex agreed with what Anna said, but thinking about the people who associated with Jean, Scott was probably the best boyfriend she could have, disregarding his straight personality.

Since thinking about that idiot who was portrayed in her school, or Logan who is old enough to be her grandfather, Scott is the best fit for this, especially considering how much he cares for her.

"At least you already know what to change." Alex smiled at Scott. "And considering how you act when you talk about Bee, I believe that if you treat her from that side as well, everything will be easier."

Hearing this Scott was surprised. Alex was right, he normally acted very serious when he was dealing with the other X-men, and when he went to talk to Jean, his nervousness made him act even more serious, to cover up the embarrassment.

If he tried to be more natural with her, the way he does when talking about cars, wouldn't that be easier?

As if she knew what they were talking about, Jean walked towards them.

"So you're a wizard!" Jean commented as she looked at Alex curiously. "I thought you were a mutant the first time we met."

"Due to my mind?" Alex points to his head with his left hand, which still glows with the magic circle. "I felt your intrusions when we first met, but when I realized they were involuntary I didn't pay much attention to the matter."

Jean was taken aback by Alex's revelation. "So you always felt it?"

Alex nodded.

"And do you have any tips on how to deal with this?" She asked a little frustrated.

"Honestly? Some." Alex said, earning a surprised expression from Jean. "I believe that the best short-term solution is to spend your mental energy to get rid of the excess you have overflowing in your head, this excess is responsible for invading the minds of others unconsciously."

After hearing this, Jean was disappointed again. "But who would let me invade their minds willingly? Everyone has secrets they want to keep, I wouldn't even want to know anyone else's secret."

"Someone with good mental defenses who could protect their memories while you expend your energy." Alex responds with a smile.

Seeing Alex's smile, Jean quickly understood. "You can?"

Nodding, Alex agreed. Despite knowing how powerful Jean was due to the Phoenix Force in her body, it was currently in a dormant state, or perhaps sealed away by Professor Xavier, so Alex had confidence in his Occlumency to deal with it.

"But that will be a little painful." Alex commented. "My defenses are for offense, so they fight back a little bit."

"How long do you think this will last?" Jean asks.

"I think a week." Alex deduces with his knowledge of Occlumency.

"It is worth it!" Jean thought excitedly. She was so tired of having to listen to others' thoughts for so long that she really felt it was worth it.

Nodding, Alex let go of Anna's hand, much to her chagrin, for him to recover some Mana before Jean attacked, just in case.

Upon learning what Jean was going to do, Professor Xavier also came to keep an eye on her, aware of the power of Alex's defenses, he also thought that this could be useful.

To everyone's surprise, after 5 minutes with her brow furrowed trying to invade Alex's mind, Jean opened her eyes with a slightly tired expression, but not hearing anyone's thoughts, she felt at peace.

"Thanks Alex." She thanked her in a slightly weak voice, which Alex just nodded.

Her attack was pretty potent, he would have to spend some Mana on Occlumency to recover the traps that were activated or destroyed by her, but nothing that was so exhausting.

If it was Professor Xavier attacking, then Alex would have to deal with it for a long time, due to the difference in mental power between the two.

The rest of the afternoon passed very peacefully. Everyone was shocked at how delicious the meat Alex had brought was, even Logan who was furious with Alex holding Anna's hand, grunted a little at the great taste of the meat.

Beside Bee, Alex and Anna were holding hands.

"How about, what did you think of the barbecue?" Anna asked expectantly.

"I had a lot of fun, and I loved my new training method even more." He said as he lifted her hand that was holding his, making Anna smile.

"So… when are you going to pay me your share of the bet?" She asked as she looked at Bee excitedly.

"I think we can do something this week, I don't know much about the area so you'd have to show me somewhere nice." He replied.

"Hmm, okay, I'll think of something then!" She got excited, trying to think of what they could do together.

Without her noticing, Alex lifted their clasped hand and used his fingers to tuck her hair behind her ear as he closed the distance between them.

Looking forward, Anna was shocked to see Alex approaching her.

Suddenly, her heart started to race a lot, but the anticipation grew more and more when looking at his mouth.

Realizing that very close there was a thin layer of ice appearing on his lips, Anna didn't hesitate anymore and approached him too, making their lips meet!

Despite Alex's icy lips, Anna felt Alex's skin perfectly, really giving her the feeling of a kiss, which was always a great trauma in her heart.

Anna has only kissed her life, and that's when her powers awaken, sending the boy she kisses into a coma.

When that happened, Anna was traumatized, never again having the courage to get that close to someone of the opposite sex, much less the thought of kissing someone.

But Alex broke down her defenses from other guys a little bit, and when she saw that he managed to hold her hand, the great walls she'd made came crashing down as well.

Feeling Alex's kiss, Anna wanted to cry, but she held back so as not to spoil the mood.

Although the kiss was just a peck, since if their tongue touched her powers would activate in Alex, he still put his hand around her waist and pulled her body closer to him, being careful not to touch her legs. on his skin.

Anna's legs were beautiful, but they were deadly for his current level of control in Occlumency.

And since he had closed the buttons on his shirt, even if it touched his chest, he would be protected by the shirt.

Even if it was just a peck, feeling Alex hugging her so close as their lips touched made Anna's legs go weak as her heart warmed.

The two stayed like that for a few minutes, just holding each other as they kissed nonstop.

Unfortunately Alex had to put an end to it. "I think we should stop, otherwise I won't be able to control myself to just keep kissing."

Anna flashed a mischievous smile at him, as she was feeling something hard on his waist during the hug after they started kissing.

This wasn't something just with Alex, as she also knew that if they continued she wouldn't be able to take the fire she was feeling and would attack him, as she also had a little change in her waist, mostly feeling the hard part of him rubbing against her.

Fortunately the bathing suit covered wet spots.

After Alex left, Anna didn't speak to anyone and ran to her room, both to not let anyone notice anything was wrong, and to take off Jean's bathing suit and not let it get any more wet.
