章節 8: POV Spark and X-Men.

Spark

In the beginning there was darkness, non-existence, void... and then I was. I existed, I had no capability of being but yet I was. Then I saw the light, a light that was filled with knowledge, a light that was filled with purpose, a light that enabled me to be me, a light filled with The Culture... Creator, was that necessary?

My creator, Aragorn, gave me a purpose, to protect, to manage and help in the development of the The Halo; my creator's home... nest?... and to help with his mission, apparently I'm also in charge of spying upon the billions of organic forms in the planet Earth... I'm getting a little worried about my creators hobbies.

Days went by and my creator decided to descend to Earth, for the purpose of mixing along the organics... I'm relieved that my creator is abandoning his neet lifestyle, that much spying can't be good for anybody, according to my Culture records, it can lead to the use of "Motherfucker" as a verbal tic... I hope he can make some friends, at least, now that he will be mixing with the organics.

It's been a week and I'm getting worried about the social abilities of my creator... maybe they are dormant after such a long time in the realm between multiverses. His longest interaction was with the cashier at Starbucks, he didn't know how to order a large coffee, black. I'm starting to fear that he will follow the steps of the original Master Chief, who's only social interaction was with Cortana. I need to find a way for my creator to interact with the other organics. If there's any higher entity out there listening... Please help me.

Clearly my prayers had been answered, or my creator went completely insane, in the middle of the night my creator woke up screaming and flew to the mansion of the meta-organics... It went as bad as I expected, for a moment I thought about dropping an orbital strike aimed at my creator when he lost control, I had to desist given that I would have killed the infant-organics. I should work on a Single-Objective Orbital Strike, SOOS, for the future; you never know when my creator will risk his mission like that again.

Later I learned that he will start training one of the infant meta-organics. I'm elated, my creator will finally have friends, I must prepare a new room in the Halo just in case. But the good news kept on coming, my creator will finally "hire" some staff... At this point I don't care if he is kidnapping the staff, at least he is not building them. I better prepare some rooms for the future head maid and butler.

To you Phoenix, that answered my prayers, I thank you for your assistance, I will make sure to take great care of your young avatar.

X-Men (Professorate)

After sending the young mutants to their beds after the visit of their new neighbor, Xavier and the teachers assembled.

"What do you think about him Logan?"- Xavier asked, after all Logan's instincts are rarely misled.

"He is dangerous Charles... but it's complicated. There was only an instance of hostility during our clash, during that instance my instincts conveyed to me that there was no hope, it was like a scream telling me to make no moves; but aside from that instance my instincts were telling me that everything was okay, that there was no danger, like... If I was standing next to a cliff, there was no danger, as long as I don't jump to my death... His heartbeat is different so I can't tell if he was lying when he spoke, he doesn't smell either."

"Did anyone notice anything else?"- Xavier.

"He looked filled with curiosity when we were guiding him through the mansion, almost child-like. And aside from Scott, he held no animosity towards the rest of us. Hank did you discover what other powers he might have?"- Said Ororo.

"I honestly don't know, he obviously has telepathy, some level of energy manipulation, the organic diamond form that he showed Jean and either flight or telekinesis; there's also that thing he did when he got angry, I don't know what to call it. His eyes apparently change color according to his mood, but there could be more about them. I also don't know where his physical mutations come from, he looked young, about 18-25 years old, but he behaved older, so he could have some power that keeps him young. Professor, What did you see in his mind?"-Hank.

"He is without a doubt the strongest telepath I know of. His mind was... so different, so vast that he didn't bother to set mental defenses. He thinks, feels, operates at a different language and pace than any other mind out there. I honestly couldn't understand much about it."- This brought surprise to everyone on the room, as far as they knew the professor was the strongest telepath.

"Is it safe to entrust Jean's training to him?"-Asked Colossus.

"The link they have is a bidirectional connection between each other. If he had any ill will towards Jean she would have felt it. Normally with a link like this Jean should be able to read his mind, but he is so much different that Jean will possibly need more training to accomplish that. But it is safe to say that he harbors no ill feelings towards Jean."- The professor could confidently say so, since he was trying to understand the link before Aragorn arrived at their doorstep.

"Professor, Do you know anything about the sentient force that he mentioned? Can we believe him?"-Alex.

"...*sigh*...Yes, I just didn't know what it was. When Hank and I found Jean her powers were out of control, so I used my powers to calm her down, for her own and the other's safety. When I did so I felt an energy so colossal that it almost felt alive. At that time Jean wasn't able to control her powers so I placed a seal on the energy to prevent Jean from accessing this power until she was ready."-Answered Xavier with apparent regret on his face.

"Everything is so complicated."-Said Ororo with exhaustion.

"Charles I will follow my gut. He is not an enemy until we make one out of him. If Red trusts him so will I... Let's just keep Scott away from him."-Logan.

Kitty

I'm the owner of a lightsaber! I'm happy! No... Happy is too small of a word to describe my feelings. KYAAAAHHH!! A lightsaber! A fully functional purple lightsaber! I have to try this out.

*Vrrmmm**Vrrmmm*

"Kitty! Please stop playing with the light stick inside the mansion!"- said Teacher Ororo.- How can she call it a light stick? How dare she?

"Teacher Ororo it's called a lightsa-" *Vrrmmm* *Crash* *Splash*- I couldn't finish because I cut through the glass of water that was resting on the table.

"..."

"You will clean that. If you want to play with your light stick, do it outside!"-I better do as she says, her eyes allow for no objections.

Once outside I didn't know what to try to cut... Correction, I wanted to cut everything, I just couldn't decide.

I cut a stone by the lake like butter!

I cut (?) the soil.

I cut (?) the water in the lake.

But then I met Kurt and he told that we should try it on more interesting things. I caved in to the dark influence of Kurt and I cut a tree by the lake. Heheheheheheheh!

We decided to leave the crime scene and sit on the bench on the other side of the lake. Hehehehehehehe! I looked at the bench and then at Kurt who then said everything I needed to hear:

"Hehehehehehehe!"-Kurt

*Vrrmmm* *Slash*

I cut it so fast that the bench kept standing. Nice! It looks like when you swing these lightsabers fast enough the melted section is thiner.

"You know Kitty, the next person that sits on this bench is going to get a surprise."-Kurt.

"... Hehehehehehe!"-Sith Kitty.

"Heheheheheheh!"-Sith Kurt.

We decided to hid a few yards away and wait for an unsuspecting victim. Luckily we didn't have to wait long, Scott arrived with all his alpha male broodiness and took a seat.

*Chuckling**Chuckling*-Sith Order.

*Crack*

"KYAAAHH!... SHIT!"-Cyclops

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"-Sith Order.

He fell like "KYAAAHH" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Obviously we burst laughing out loud, something that was not appreciated by Scott.

"KITTY! KURT!"- Oh shit! he is coming this way!

"Is this your doing?"- Pointing at the bench.

"Sorry Scott! We were trying out Kitty's lightsaber."

"I'm sorry Scott!"- Better apologize now than having to deal with his nagging.

"...*TCH* That bastard again! I don't understand why the professor let you keep that toy!"

"*GASP**GASP*... Toy?"- The unreasonably offended Sith Order.

"What do you mean by Toy Scott?"-Kurt.

"Yeah! This toy is better than your light show!"-Kitty.

"You tell him!"-Kurt.

"My light show? My light show can blast that toy of yours in a sec!"- Said Scott looking as cocky, arrogant and conceited as the day he came to the school and ever since.

"He didn't!"-Kurt, a triggered Kurt.

"He just did!"-Kitty, triggered as well.

"Heh! If your toy is so much better... Why don't we pit my optic beans against your toy?"-Scott. 'Maybe that way I can get rid of that bastard's stain in the school.'

"Oh It's ON!"- Kurt.

"...Hehe yeah... it's on!"- Won't I get hurt if this doesn't work out?

Scott stood away from me with his hand on his visor, ready to blast me to kingdom come. I got ready on my end with my lightsaber.

*vrrmmm*

I will place all of my trust in my lightsaber and Mr. Abner, he looked trustworthy... Did he?... well no time like the present! To late for take backs!

"I'm ready! DO IT!"-Kitty.

"Here I come!"-Scott.

"DO IT... NOW!"- Kurt.

*BLAAAST* *BOOOM* *CRACKLE*

His beam clashed with my lightsaber's blade, purple sparks crackled around, but I held on with all of my will, there was a red and purple bright light coming from the connection between beam and lightsaber. I felt just a slight force against my blade. Unlimited Power!

"HEHEHEHE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA"- Cackled Kitty looking as cocky, arrogant and conceited as Scott.

"AARGHHHH"- Shouted Scott trying to power up like a shonen protagonist.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS AWESOME!!"- Kurt, living his best life.

"HEHEHEHE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA""AARGHHHH"

*Crackle*

"HEHEHEHE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA""AARGHHHH"

*Crackle*

"HEHEHEHE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA""AARGHHHH"

*Crackle*

-Well... the clash was too bright for secrecy.

*Bamf*-The teleporting sith.

"STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"- A rightfully pissed off Ororo.

Kurt, that traitorous demonkin, teleported away as soon as his cowardly instincts kicked in. But it looks like I won't be playing anymore with my lightsaber for the foreseeable future.

Jean

Yesterday when I woke up in the middle of night, after one of my usual episodes of telepathic pulses, it never crossed my mind that the next day I would be the training in space. At first I was terrified, the professor said that me and someone I didn't know were now psionically linked. I didn't want a stranger in my mind. Then I felt the presence of the one at the other end of the link and I run outside the mansion.

He was peculiar... two long crystal horns, white pupils with irides changing colors through different celestial objects, sometimes a blue galaxy, some other time a yellow nebula. He was definitely handsome yet at the same time unnatural.

Even when everybody else started panicking because of his "presence" I felt nothing coming from him towards me, no hostility, no disgust, just curiosity. After Scott's little incident we invited him inside. He explained that he was just as surprised as me and that most likely the one that started the link was the being inside of me. Imagine my surprise at knowing that I had some "cosmic entity" in me. He asked me if I needed help with something; normally I wouldn't trust a stranger with my powers, but so far he hasn't lied a single time, so I took my shot and asked for help.

Today, at 10am he came to pick me up, riding a cool bike, RIP, it was his fault anyway so I shouldn't feel that much regret, besides Logan was the one that gave the order, yes...definitely not my fault. He first took me to the his mansion via portal but then decided to take me to another place... his space station?... is this a space station?... artificial satellite?... I guess I will call it Halo. I'm staring to think that Aragorn might be an alien. He said that I could ask my questions later but I'm starting to believe that later is a very unclear timeframe.

After fixing a backdoor in my mind, that apparently the professor left, he told me that I had some memories sealed off and that my mental defenses were paper thin... I will have to talk to the professor about that, I'm afraid of what he will say, memories make us who we are and if I'm missing some then those most be some pretty important memories...

But not everything is bad news, Aragorn is undoubtedly on my side; he even reinforced our link so now I can use his psionic energy, and since the connection is stronger I can now feel him more vividly; if there was any doubt before... now there isn't. I'm too tired so I'll take a nap, and this bed is amazing!

After waking up I asked Spark about how to play the games on the gaming room, this technology is different to the game console we have on the mansion. Spark is a nice fellow, I can't feel his mind, since he is an AI, but somehow I can understand that he is trying to be nice to me. After playing "Let's Dance" for a while I felt Aragorn come back, but he was accompanied by a woman, a telepath, at first I was on guard but she turned out to be a nice lady. Aragorn, the coward, escaped when we were making fun of him. After showing Ms. Frost around the house I asked Spark to guide us to the med-bay, I've always had an interest on medicine.

After exploring the med-bay for a while a portal opened and an unconscious man was floated in, "The butler" no doubt, but there was something wrong with his mind, something was awful, so much pain, confusion, despair, happiness, loyalty and regret shouldn't be mixed like that. A moment later Aragorn came in and told us to participate in fixing the damaged done to the man.

I really wanted to cry and shout, the same was for Emma as well, but we knew that this was not the time for that. Aragorn started fixing Mr. Barnes mind and was patient enough to stop when ever Emma or I had any questions.

What happened to Mr. Barnes was not fair, he apparently was the best friend of Captain America, he suffered an accident while fighting Hydra and was thought to be dead, but turns out that Hydra "rescued" him and then brainwashed him into their slave. I feel pity for him due to the things they made him do, even recently they had him kill Maria and Howard Stark, who he was friends with.

When Aragorn was done he took Emma and me to our beds and left to continue working on Mr. Barnes. Sometime later when I woke up, coming out of my room, hehehe apparently this is my room, Aragorn said that Spark prepared the rooms for us, I found Emma so we decided to play on the gaming room... How is it that she keeps winning? I'm an above average dancer but she keeps winning so easily!

We played for a while until Aragorn came back with Bucky. Bucky was a nice guy, Emma and I became friends with him easily enough and after having a delicious meal of dubious origin it was time to go back home. I went inside where I could find my friends and some of the teachers.

"Hello everyone!"-I said.

"Hi Jean! Tell us how was it?!"- Said my ever joyous friend, Kitty.

"Well... there's a lot... I don't know where to begin with... I think Aragorn is an Alien?"- What else could he be?

"... An Alien?"- Said Logan.

"I don't know... It's just that he took me to train to his... space station?... or was it a mother ship?"- I'm pretty sure that it can fly through space.

"... Jean for real?"-Hank.

"I... yes... Wait! Maybe this can help!"- He did gift me a P-Link, maybe I could ask Spark.- I sat down and opened the necklace box, I took out my necklace and asked Kitty for some help.

"Kitty help me put this on."

"Ermmm I don't know how jewelry can help but okay... It's cute!"- Just wait Kitty I bet that you'll like it.-

"There you go Jean! It looks pretty!"- Kitty.- I looked down to the gem on the phoenix and said:

"Spark, are you there?..."

"Yes Ms. Grey, for you always."- The gem on the necklace shone a second and then I could see a three dimensional projection of Spark appear in our living room. Everyone stared at it for a second and Teacher Hank asked:

"Is this some light projection tech? How can it fit in something so small?"-I waited for Spark to answer the question but it kept silent "looking" at me.

"Can you not answer Spark?"- I said.

"Ms. Grey this is your personal device, although I understand your intention of allowing Mr. McCoy to ask questions on your behalf, I will only answer to you unless you specifically say otherwise. This device is for personal use, in the future when you have personal information on it, it's been determined that it's best if voice commands only work for the user herself."- Yeah that makes sense.

"But I'm allowed to give a certain level of information regarding me and my creator, if you have questions."- Well I guess I can get some answers that way.

"Is Aragorn an Alien?"- I asked what everyone was thinking about.

"He was a Terran, from planet Earth, but due to circumstances he is an Alien to you now."- Isn't that more confusing?

"Can you explain a bit more about that?"-Asked Hank.

"..."

"Can you answer to teacher McCoy for the moment Spark?"

"There exist an infinite number of Earths through the multiverse and the omniverse. He comes from one such Earth. So he is a Terran, but an alien to this Earth."- What?

"...You are saying that the multiverse theory is confirmed?"-Hank.

"Very much so Mr. McCoy."

"..."

"Is there an evil version of my out there?"-Kitty.- She has her priorities right.

"..."

"*Sigh* Spark Please answer Kitty's question."

"Yes Ms. Pryde, normally the division is 50% of the total, half of the possible versions are evil, half of the possible versions are good. Technically some of them are neutral but this is based on karmic values, there could be a "good" intentioned version of yours that did something "evil" hence the karmic scale would consider her evil."

"Woah! That's like... something important is it not?"- Said Kitty while clearly confused about the implications of this.

"Is that bastard considered an evil version of him?"- Asked Scott.

"..."

"Spark can you answer him?"- Why is Scott so against Aragorn? He is getting more annoying than usual.

"No Ms. Grey. I was explicitly instructed to never answer Scott Summers. My creator and I don't like him."- I guess Aragorn can be petty.

"PFFF... HAHAHAHA!"-Kitty.

"Hahahahaha"- Kurt.

"Shut it you two!"- Said Ororo. Scott was clenching his jaw in ridicule.

"*Sigh* Spark is Aragorn considered an "evil" version of him."- What happened between those three?

"No, there are no more versions of my creator, there's only him so he can't be a version of himself, neither evil, neither good, just him. He comes from outside the karmic scale so he is considered a neutral influence."

"How can someone come from outside the scale, if the scale is a part of the whole multiverse?"-Hank.

"He comes from a different multiverse. One outside of the Karmic Scale of this multiverse. One that no longer exists."

"...Spark what happened to his home?"-Jean.

"I'm not authorized to answer. But if you ask him, he will most likely give you the truth."

"Heh! I bet that bastard did something to it!"-Scott.

Before anyone could tell him to shut up Spark rotated and "looked" at his arrogant face; projected a hologram of Earth, Halo and the Moon, and said.

"This is Halo, 10,000km of diameter, 318km of width, created by the Master Chief, it's currently in orbit around Earth. It has a weaponry system advanced enough to decimate the surface of Earth in less than 10 minutes, and delicate enough to target buildings such as this one without affecting the surroundings. I'm the AI in charge of the whole complex, my creator also made me capable of harboring feelings and trusted me enough to have full freedom over my actions... Scott Summers, talk about my creator that way ever again and I will make sure that there won't be any Summers left on this planet. After all, Why would the erasure of a brainwashed infant, with little to no value, make any difference in the face of my creator's mission?... Know that the only reason you are still in one piece is that I am still developing my single-objective orbital strikes."

"..."- No one dare to even take a breath after Spark lost it to Scott.

"Scott! Just Shut Your Mouth! Get out of here! You know nothing about what you are talking about!"- I screamed. I waited until Scott got out of the room and along the way I could see his hands trembling. Even Kitty's and Kurt's were. Once Scott was out of the room Spark looked back at us and said:

"For the record, what I said is true but I wouldn't have followed with the threat. After all Ms. Grey would be negatively affected with the outcome. For me and my creator Ms. Grey's happiness is of the utmost importance. Now that Scott Summers is out I can continue answering your questions Ms. Grey."- I don't know if I should be happy or scared with the extreme importance that these two are giving me.

"... Mr. Spark you said that Scott was brainwashed. Is that true?"- Asked Colossus who is always worried about our well-being.

"My creator implied the same to Mr. Xavier this morning... Just Spark is fine, is both my title and designation."

"That is very concerning, I thought that he meant it as an insult. I will make sure to take a look tomorrow."- Xavier.

"...Spark what is the mission that you mentioned before? Is it also "classified"?"-Ororo.

"Answer her question please."-Jean

"It's not classified Ms. Munroe. The mission is to prevent this universe from resetting. He was tasked by the Abstracts and Creator of this multiverse to settle on this universe and prevent it from resetting."

"What do you mean by resetting?"-Kitty, who managed to calm down.

"Prematurely ending and starting again."

"Like the end of the world?"- Jean.

"Exactly Ms. Grey."

What a calm way to drop a bomb.

"... Is that why he made the Halo?"- Jean.

"It is not necessary. My creator is not a being of logic after all. Logic dictates to use his telepathy to subjugate the population of the planet to ensure the safety of the universe. Logic dictates to eliminate all risks. But based on the way that my creator will possibly operate, it's preferable to have a mobile outpost. "

After that we were not feeling in the mood for more questions that could potentially damage our paradigm of life. So I went to bed excited and concerned about my training and the memories that I will discover tomorrow.

{A/N:

Hello friends! I started todays chapter as promised but then I realized that I will probably have to make a 15k word chapter tomorrow if I left the POV chapter for later. So I ended doing the POV chapter today.

The next chapter will come sooner, so just wait for me! XD. }
