" Leave him to me."
The words came from Jean, saying I wasn't expecting it, was an understatement.
" We both know that if you say her is going to prison, I am directly teleporting him in space, right?"
" Killing him would be too easy, his current mind is too weak to do anything with his powers, let's seal the deal and make him unable to hurt anyone else for the rest of his life."
She puts her hand on his head and forces her mind inside of him. Through my connection to dimensional mana, I felt some type of different but similar energy directly coming from her. For the first time, she used her powers to the maximum directly near me.
Not wanting to get involved, I took some steps back and watched the scene unfold, though I didn't enjoy it for long because of a notification I received a few seconds later.

One of the Absolute Beings of this universe wishes to speak to you
Accept?
YES/NO
---
'What the fuck? Yes?'
---
A direct connection to the being known as the Phoenix Force has been created; she has been given the option of only directly speaking to you, all forms of mind/soul/future/past reading have been stopped or erased.
Hello Adrian
---
'Not creepy at all, voice inside my head.'
---
Do not fear, I am speaking to you only to thank you; if Xavier's plans had been continued, he would have brought the downfall of this universe.e
---
' I didn't do it for that, I didn't even know he would have caused it, how is that possible?'
---
He would have done nothing, he dosen't know he was causing it, but his actions were endendering my host, my connection to this universe.
---
I immediately looked at Jean, it didn't take a genius to connect the dots.
---
Your powers seem rather fond of giving rewards for accomplishing missions or helping others, so how about a little reward?
The Phonexis Force wishes to reward you for your actions
Accept?
YES/NO
---
'Where is the catch? No one gives anything for nothing, we both know if she wished, Jean could have done it by herself, or at least with a little use of her mind powers.'
---
Just to listen for future requests, this universe is one of the ones constant great dangers, both from the inside and the outside, though you are still weak in the big scales, your growth is enough proof that one day you will become one of the big players of this universe, I just wish to make you one of your protectors.
---
' I can agree to that, be warned that based on the request, I might refuse or straight up fight you for even suggesting it.'
---
I will wait for such a moment. It's been a long time since a mortal defied me, and it's getting pretty boring up here. For now, just accept these rewards as a sign of friendship.ip

Popping right out of nowhere, a little chicken made purely of Dimensional Mana popped.
As soon as it saw me, it chirped in happiness and flew above my head, resting on it as if it were its nest, not that I am complaining, just its presence seems to make it easier to control and use Dimensional Mana.

A Dimensional Phoenix wishes to become one of your familiars
Accept?
YES/NO
---
' Not what I was expecting but still very appreciated.'
---
Take care of that little one, he can be a handful when he wants to
---
' I will, and don't worry, I already have a daughter, so I can handle a little bit of cheekiness.'
---
I hope to meet you again, Adrian Riviera
Connection to the Phoenix Force has been interrupted
---
' That went smoother than expected.'
My eyes once again went towards Jean as I felt her powers disappear, Xavier's face now numb and seemingly dead, though I could still feel a pulse from him.
" You made him stupid?"
" I turned him into a baby, I erased his memories, locked his knowledge on how to use his powers, and gave him a form of learning disability, so he won't be able to hurt anyone else from now on."
" Damn, I can see why you thought my punishemnt was too light, you can be scary when you want to Jean."
" And don't ever forget that." She said with smile, now that the situation had calmed down she could relax, the pressure she had felt from the moment she had discovered Xavier's secret having weighted on her mind until that moment had caused a lot of stress.
" Would you mind helping me? You are the one who tore my legs." Someone said from the ground while pulling my pants.
" Logan, I almost forgot about you," I said while looking at the limping man.
" Fuck you."
I rolled my eyes and used Blood Mana to start healing him. That was when I received a weird notification.
---
The subject James(Logan) Howlett is under the effect of Deadly Poisoning
Do you wish to spend 500 more HP and MP to fully remove the effect?
---
'I never poisoned him, though... wait!'
" Logan, quick, does the metal that composes your claw also come with your powers or was the metal that covers them caused by something or someone?"
" The second one, why? What's wrong?"
" Aside from the fact that it is slowly killing you and you are alive only thanks to your healing factor, nothing at all."
He remained silent, already aware of the danger that adamantium carried when implanted inside a body.
" I can remove it from you while also healing you."
"... Don't do it, I already lived a long life, living a longer one, but becoming weaker would just mean I wouldn't be able to help people, I can live with the pain."
" Suit yourself, then I guess you will want these back," I said while taking out his bottom half and reconnecting it to his body.
He got up and tested if everything was alright.
" You are a nice kid, Adrian, don't change."
" And you still smell of cheap beer."
Avoiding the punch that followed made me remember the times I trained Boxing with him.

Thanks for the support from everyone. The list is getting quite long, so sorry if I can't keep up with it.
