MY HAREM IN DC & MARVEL MULTIVERSE

Ch: 45 [Calm after the storm]

Jenny was asleep in her room when mom teleported us into our house. She briefly explained her past and her curse of never being able to use magic. But after the awakening started, mom awakened a new power known as the magical swordsman. Although she didn't go into many details, from what I saw earlier, it's definitely OP.

But dang! An immortal! Then what about Jenny and me? If her immortal power is anything like mutant genetics or gene-related, then we must have inherited something, right? I don't know about Jenny, but none of my skill descriptions says anything of immortality. 

Let me ask...

"Is your immortality a genetic mutation like grandma's that prevents aging? Or you are like unkillable kinda immortality," I asked mom.

"It's hard to explain. But in simple words, you can say my soul is immortal. I don't know if it's a mutation or something else, but when this body dies, it burns to ashes, and my new body rises from that ashes like a Phoenix. Well, it takes years to form a new body and sometimes an eternity," explained mom in simple words.

"I-I see..."

If she lived for that long, then she must have witnessed many friends and loved ones die before her eyes. I don't want to press her for more information. For all I know, she is my mom, no matter what. 

...

Mom told me not to worry anymore and that she would take care of the enemies very soon. After that, we can go back to our carefree daily life. But after hearing Yao's words, I couldn't help but tell mom about my dreams about Subject 0X and the girl who warned me about the arrival of new enemies.

According to mom, the things I have been hearing in my dreams aren't just simple dreams but efforts of some allies to help me grow stronger. And I will know the truth once I find them. Seesh! She could have just told me the truth herself.

"You can find them and form a team of your own like Justice Leagues and The Avengers. Or you can continue to live your life as you are living right now. It's your choice to make," said Mom after hearing about my dreams.

I asked them to help Harley out from Shield's custody.

"I already heard about your new girlfriend from Blade. Don't worry. I already got her out of Shield's custody. But son... Harley isn't like other girls. She may act like a lunatic on drugs, but in reality, she is just a lonely girl who has lost her ways. Don't hurt her, or else she might do something dangerous again," said mom.

"New girlfriend! It's nothing like that... Anyway, you know Blade?" I inquired.

"Yeah. He is an old friend of mine. I am glad he was in the neighborhood when it happened, or things might have gone badly. By the way, he asked me to tell you that he wasn't following you but the girl beside you," replied mom.

"I thought he was an enemy at first. But after seeing the vampires and his timely arrival, I guessed he was after that girl posing as Cecil. Tell him I said thanks next time you see him," I said.

We talked for a bit...

After resting for a bit, mom and grandma left. They told me they would return after taking care of the assassin problem after paying an old friend a visit. It might take a month or two, max. So, we won't need to worry about anything.

It's already 3:00 AM. It feels like an eternity. Today was a close one. Haaa. First dad, now mom and grandma... It feels like I don't know anything about them. Who knows what else they are hiding? Everyone has their secrets, even I do, so I can't blame them... I am sure they will tell me when the time is right.

For now, Jenny is my first priority. She must be shaken up by the incident...

...

I quietly opened the door of Jenny's room and peeked inside. She looks like she is sleeping, but I know her better than anyone. She never sleeps without hugging her favorite teddy. Well, she did try to choke-slam me when I found that in the past... Right now- She is still awake and trying to act strong to not make others worried about her.

If it was any other time, I would have left her alone since there are times when one needs to be alone, but this isn't that time. I can't leave her alone.

"How long will you stand there and stare at me?" Jenny said in a low voice as she shifted to her left, making some space on the bed.

I walked over to her bed and lay behind her. Jenny didn't turn around. Instead, we just lay there in pin-drop silence for a few minutes.

"They were all over the place. I was really scared- you know?. Everything seems blurry now that I try to remember, but then you arrived. I was so happy and relieved to see you back then..." Jenny's voice trailed off into silence.

"Yeah, I was scared too. I kept praying to god to keep you safe. If it wasn't for Harley, I wouldn't have arrived when I did, and she also sabotaged the agent's car. We should thank her properly. And I promise I won't let anything like this happen again," I said as I put my arms around her and pulled her closer to me.

"You also promised me a date, remember?" Jenny murmured with her fingers entwined with mine.

"I remember. How about tomorrow?" I replied.

Previously I planned to train with Professor X's help, but going on a date with Jen might help her forget her trauma.

"Tomorrow!?" Jenny turned around.

"If you are busy then..." Jenny didn't even let me finish...

"No, tomorrow is good," said Jenny. Haha. She kinda looks flustered.

Huh?! I can see in the dark even though I am not using Dracul. I wonder how many more surprises are hiding in my body.

Anyway, since we are going on a date tomorrow... I need to plan something fast. I need to make a couple of phone calls and book some romantic places just for us. A yacht, maybe... Humm. A private yacht...   

"Alright then, you better get some good sleep. After all, it won't look good if you doze off during our date. And I will make some calls," I said, and then I kissed Jen on her lips, "Good night."

Jenny kissed me back, "Good night..."

...

...

[Dining room]

I boiled some instant noodles. I am starving... As I was about to eat, a string of red aura emerged from my body and rushed toward the kitchen window.

Huh! Although I can't clearly see through solid objects, I can smell a familiar scent. I can hear someone's stomach grumbling.

"I am opening the front door. Come inside if you don't want mosquito bites," I said.

I opened the front door...

Harley came running soon while scratching her arms and legs.

"Come inside," I said with a smile. Harley quietly went inside, and I closed the door.

...

Harley was sitting on the chair, and her eyes were fixed on the noodles bowl. She also had a rough night because of me. I thought Harley went to her house or wherever she lived after my mom got her out of shield's custody. But she came here. And who knows how long she had been standing outside.

Seesh! This girl... 

"Hungry?" I shifted my noodles bowl before Harley.

She quickly took the bowl and started to devour the noodles.

"Haha! Slow down... No one is going to eat your food," I chuckled. Harley emptied the bowl within a couple of minutes. I guess she will need another bowl. So I went to the kitchen, and Harley followed me with her empty bowl.

"Can I have another bowl, Puddin'?" asked Harley.

"You like instant noodles?" I opened the cupboard filled with my precious every flavored noodles bowl.

"Ooohh! You even have the new hot & spicy 10x danger! Boomerang says if you eat *10x danger* then a special feeling will be waiting for you in the morning. I heard him screamin' about someone drippin' hot wax on his butt hole. But he was alone in the bathroom," Harley babbled out some obvious not so nonsense truth about that.

"Hey, I don't want to hear about that. Just pick whatever you like," I said.

Harley's words made me remember my not so good memories. 10x danger noodles, the forbidden product among the people on I-Tube. I could never forget the pain in my mouth and... Oh! Let's not go into details.

It's a banned product now. Don't ask how I got it. Around 2 years ago, a couple of lunatics took on the challenge of eating the world's spiciest noodles, and they eventually ended up in a hospital. Well, that's the last time anyone heard about them.

I don't want to eat anymore.
