Warnings: sex, Huge orgy, tl;dr



Domino parked the car down the street from the apartment building they were looking for. She pulled her hair back, into a tight ponytail. It was cold here, and she was happy she’d brought a heavy coat.

“Stuff like this never happens in the Bahamas, or someplace decent.”

She sighed, and eyed her reflection. It always felt odd when she wore makeup. Like her face was heavier.

“Ready when you are.”

He nodded as he turned from his own preparations. He wore a suit, concealing his weapons, and his equipment. He smiled as he looked at her.

“Have I told you lately that you are gorgeous?”

She stuck her tongue out, and snickered. “Not with twenty pounds of foundation on. Maybe it’s a good thing we’re not someplace warm.”

She kissed him and slid out of the car, stuffing her hands into her pockets.

He grinned and nodded as he rolled out of the car to his feet.

“Let’s go change history.”

He led the way into the building. A doorman turned and kept turning, not seeing them as Cable’s eye gleamed.

“Seventh floor.”

He hit the button to summon the elevator, and stepped in, holding it for her when it came.

Domino slipped into the elevator, and sighed, toying with a pack of gum in her pocket. She whistled as the elevator went up, watching the numbers. Just a bored woman, looking forward to going home. Hope this isn’t one of those close knit ‘we’re all family’ apartments like you get sometimes.

It will be okay.

He smiled at her.

From what I was able to learn, he is young, on his own, and not even sure of what is going on.

She sighed, and resisted the urge to rub her face. Funny how often we wind up taking care of kids in that same situation, in one way or the other. Maybe some things never change. It was disappointingly predictable.

Too many parents abandon their kids, these days, or kick them out… and someone has to stand up.

He sighed, rubbing his face, age showing for a moment. I wont let them feel abandoned like I did, not if I can help it.

She touched his hand softly, giving him a soft smile as the door dinged. “Showtime.”

716. That was on the left. So she turned left, trying to look like she was in no rush, still holding Cable’s hand, leaning her head on his shoulder, the way women seemed to do when they were tired and with someone of the appropriate height.

He walked with her, one arm curved around her, remembering what it was like to be this kind of kid, and nodding. Lifting one hand, he knocked, and smiled as the door opened. “Theodore Clemens? My name is Cable, and I was wondering if I could talk to you, about the weird shift happening in your life.”

He raised a hand as the kid seemed to panic. “You’re not in trouble, we’re not here to hurt you, or run tests on you, or imprison you. You see… I understand.” Cable held out his hand and in it a small metal chip lay. And a moment later, It floated.

“Oh My god… “ The kid stared.

“Mind if we come in?”

Theo nodded and stepped aside, looking poleaxed as he let them in and closed the door behind them.

Domino followed, and was mostly silent. This was more personal for Nate than their usual thing, and she didn’t want to intrude too much. “It’s alright, kid. You’re among friends.” She couldn’t show off her powers, and didn’t feel like wiping off her make up, so she didn’t. But she gave him a reassuring smile, letting Cable go so he could do whatever he felt he needed to. “I’m Domino.” She held out a hand to him, to shake.

Theo nodded and shook her hand, dazed looking. “Come on, sit. “

Cable nodded and sat on a chair opposite of Theo’s sofa. “Look. I am not here to tell you what to do, or how to do it, just give you some information and help you make decisions, and help you decide what to do, before things get out of hand. I know how these sorts of things start, and how things happen without knowing why, or how they happened. I know the feeling of helplessness, and fear, and anger. And I am here to tell you there are others who have gone through it, and others who can help you.” He waited to see how the kid would absorb that much, willing him to understand.

Theo was boggling. Two complete strangers had just wandered into his home, pretty as you please, and now one was giving him the kind of look that he imagined dictators would have. Beside that, the look was coming from a man who looked like he was the physical embodiment of a Sherman tank. He was, to be short, not at ease at all. It was affecting his already tenuous control, as shock gave way to fear.

Domino shivered, and remained standing, liking this less and less as time went on. Something here felt off, but she couldn’t figure out what it was to save her life.

Great figure of speech to think of right that second.

Cable opened his hands slowly. “We are not here to hurt you, or do anything to you, Theodore. Calm down and everything will be okay.” He made no sudden moves, no faces, just watched the kid. A feeling of sadness and inevitability hit him as he watched and felt the kid’s powers start. “I know what it is like to have powers you don’t understand, and to want to control them, to want not to hurt people."

Theo stared at Cable, and scrambled for control. He didn’t want the mountain of a man getting upset. “I don’t. . . no one’s been hurt.” He was defensive, but slowly the blind panic was fading. Things were just piling up on him, and it was becoming too much.

Domino turned a little bit, not really wanting to see the look on the kid’s face. “You have a bathroom?” It felt like a stupid question. But the feeling of panic was completely gone, now, so maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing. Beside, there were one too many strangers staring the poor kid down, and if she could save herself a little heartache, and make Cable’s job easier, so much the better.

Cable’s power reached out to Dom and a shield of his emotion snapped around her. Warmth, calm, and trust was a shield against the outside influence as he nodded. “I know. We’ve come now because we want to help you learn how to make sure no one gets hurt. Power is a tricky thing.” He held up his hand with that small chip floating in it. “When I started out, my telekinesis flared out a lot. Whenever my emotions were high, it was high too.” He smiled wryly. “But I learned to control it, after some hard lessons.”

“Sure, yeah, down the hall.” He turned his head, looking away from Cable for a moment.

Domino smiled and nodded her head, starting down the hall. There, one less threatening presence. But he’s not projecting too badly anymore. She was just here as backup, anyway.

Theo watched the chip, and tilted his head. “I-I can see how that would be a problem.”

Wow.

He just pissed people off. At least he wasn’t. . . obvious. “Who taught you? It’s not like the movies, there’s no secret organization that’s going to help me get this under control.”

As far as he knew, anyway.

“I was lucky. After my first, ah… explosion, a man who had been through something similar in his youth found me. He and his wife taught me. But that first time, it scared the hell out of me.” He looked at Theo. “Someone died. I swore I would never let it happen again, if I could stop it.” He nodded to Theo. “That’s why I am here. You have power, a gift, that is just starting, and it is, in it’s own way, both a gift and a curse. If you learn to use it well, or just control it, it can be a gift. Otherwise, a lot of people could be hurt. You can stop that. You can take control, if you are willing to work for it.”

The young man nodded, face still pale. This was unreal. “I don’t want to hurt anyone, or keep making people angry.” He felt as though he were in a strange dream, and would wake up any second back home, where things were still normal.

“You can learn to control it. You can do so without letting anyone else control you. I want to give you the number of some very smart and good people. They are good at teaching young people how to control such powers. If you are willing?” He smiled then. “And I thought you might like to meet other people dealing with this insanity we call our lives.”

Theo nodded, and relaxed a little. Okay. He could handle this, right?

Right? “I guess. Is there. . . I mean, I don’t have the money to go to school.” He blushed brightly, hating that fact so much. “We can take care of that. In fact, if you are willing to be tested, academically, and in your interests, we have access to the scholarship givers, and can make sure you can get through it.”

Cable nodded. “I’m not fond of living on anyone’s charity myself, but a scholarship will give you the chance to learn, and to find the way that you can make the world better, whether is it by being a good musician, or by being a doctor. Only you can decide.” He raised an eyebrow. “You can do this. You can succeed. If you are willing to try.” Cable extended his hand, palm up.

There were many things that Theo wanted, but dying alone and broke in a stolen apartment wasn’t one of them. Beside, the idea of scholarships was a familiar one, a safe thought. Scholarships were normal. They were something he would be worrying about in a year or so. He nodded, and gingerly put his hand in Cable’s, eyes still wide and somewhat panic stricken.

Cable grinned and shook his hand. “Good. Now let me tell you about the people…”

It was almost an hour and a half later when he and Domino departed, but the ground work was laid, and the kid, and those who would have died, had a chance now.

Domino had, during her absence, been doing some investigating. She was now thoroughly depressed. “Kid was using a bunch of drugs to keep his emotions dampened. His medicine cabinet looked like the ADD section of a kid’s medicine book.” She made a face. “Poor kid. Hope things work out alright for him.” Still, she would go to the game he was attending, and keep an eye open. If things went badly. . . the kid had said he didn’t want to hurt anyone. She’d do her best to make sure he didn’t.

“He will have a chance, now.” He smiled at her. “And you will have helped. Even if you don’t think so.”

She shrugged. “I don’t care if I helped or not. I’d just like to not see that many deaths on the news.” She slid into the driver’s side seat as she said it. “I’m going to the game, just in case.” Her tone made her intention clear.

He slid in to the passenger’s side. “Good. Because there is no one I would rather have watching.”

She nodded. “You going to sit it out? I can understand if you do.” After all, this wasn’t an ideal job.

He shook his head. “Nope. I am going to take you out to the Ballgame.” He winked at her.

Despite it all, she laughed at that, and kissed him. “Let’s go back, I want to wash my face and warm up.” She didn’t miss the cold very much. Or the wind. It wasn’t as bad here as it had been where she grew up. But still, no fun.

He settled back to let her drive. It would be a long weekend, but with her, he knew it would be a good one. He glanced at her and smiled. "So, rest, and recuperate at the hotel I booked before the game?"

She nodded, and looked out the window. "Too bad I won't fall asleep thinking about the game." She rather missed that, she found. And she didn't relish the thought of what that day might bring. "I really hope the kid gets better help than he's had up until now."

"He will. Trust me. He will." He was sure of it. And somehow, he would make this kid's life better. Even if it wasn't changing the world to do that.

Domino just nodded, and curled up in her own gloomy thoughts, trying to detach herself from the kid that Cable had adopted. It was harder than she cared to admit, but that was easy to blame on their mental link. Hell, for all she knew, that could be the truth.

When they arrived at the hotel, and their room, he but took her in his arms and held her for a time, not speaking. She curled up in his arms, not wanting to talk about anything. It was enough to have him hold her, and she didn't feel like complicating that. Her head rested on his chest, and she wrapped her arms around him. It seemed like days before she felt warm again

He held her and slowly stroked her arms, kissing her hair and her forehead and holding her. He just wanted her to feel better. "Domino? How are you doing?" Warmth and care spilled from his mind to hers.

She buried her head in his chest, smearing makeup on his shirt. The job bothered her, but it was a cumulative bother. It seemed like everything was terrible and unwelcome. She wiggled away and sat up on the edge of the bed, facing the foot of it, not looking away, but not looking at Cable. "I just feel like shit. I don't think there's a reason."

He hugged her close, and stroked her back until she moved away. He gently poked her. "Well, I'm sorry. Would you like to just rest for awhile? Or -?"

"Or?"

She turned to him the makeup distorting the way her expression appeared, making her look like she had some kind of disease. "Beside, I doubt this is your fault. Probably has more to do with our spawn than anything else." After all, she was too tough to get weepy over a kid, even one that did kind of remind her of every other mutant child she'd ever come across.

"I meant you could fill in another option if you wanted to. Or sex, or I can let you rest alone if you like. Or video games. You know... just, or--"

He reached out and gently touched her shoulder.

"You are fighting a fight I have never tried to, and dealing with an enemy that is harder to face than any I have known. I just wish I could help you."

Domino laughed and leaned back against his hand. "Great, so next time you get to get pregnant, and I can quake with fear when you start getting mood swings."

She turned to face him, her hand touching his arm gently. "I want to take a shower. Think you're up for it?"

"Okay."

He said it simply, and grinned.

He nodded at her and kissed her lightly.

"I'd like that. Showering with you is always fun."

His eyes glinted with warmth and a touch of lust.

She gave him a wry grin, and touched the large beige-ish stain where her face had touched his shirt. "Go figure, you take the effort to get all dolled up, and I go and ruin your suit." For some reason this struck her as incredibly funny, and she started laughing, loudly.

He shook his head and floated them both toward the bathroom. When they entered the shower stall still fully clothed, his eyes glinted and they were both suddenly struck by a stream of water, lukewarm at best.

Domino laughed and punched his shoulder playfully, her nice pants and shirt ruined by the water, and clinging to her every curve. It still shocked her to look down at her body. All her life she'd been lean and lithe, and it was a little awkward to do things around her growing belly. It felt weird when she pressed up against Nate, pulling him down for a kiss. But it wasn't a bad weird by any means.

He grinned as he stripped them both, stroking her body and kissing her.

"MMM, you feel incredible, love."

His hands were deft in stripping them, and then in grabbing the soap as the water warmed and grew to a more acceptable washing level.

She sighed softly, moving to help him take her clothing off. "You too. Sorry I freaked out on you. Everything was just emo colored." It was like sudden onset depression. "Didn't mean to make you worried."


She turned to the water, rubbing her makeup off. "Bleh. Tastes bad, feels bad. . . I should just suck it up and get an image inducer."

"You didn't do anything wrong. I just wish I knew more ways to help out."

He smiled faintly.

"I can have one ready for you in an hour or two."

He gently stroked her hair, then soaped up her back, slowly moving lower to soap up her ass and massage her muscles as he went.

She groaned loudly, leaning forward against the wall as he worked. "That feels so good. God, I love the way you touch me." It was very nice when he massaged her. He had the strongest hands of anyone she'd ever met. Not to mention her back hurt from the strain of her enlarged breasts and stomach. The massage felt very good, and her back cracked a few times.

He gently kept massaging her back, using his telekinesis to help steady her, as well as spread warmth across her body.

He smiled.

"I love touching you, Dom. Every sexy inch of you."

"You're in luck then," she noted absent-mindedly. "I've got a few extra inches for you to touch."

She was more than willing to stay in the nice hot shower while the sexy man she was dating rubbed her back. If she had half a shot at heaven, she assumed it would feel like this, but without the no caffeine and beer rule.

"Should get some of that non-alcoholic beer for the game. It's better than nothing."

"And they are as sexy as the rest of you."

He smiled.

"Sure! We can take that and snacks, and take our own picnic lunch. Might as well enjoy ourselves."

"Not like sneaking grub into a stadium will be difficult, after all the crazy shit we've pulled. Just a little higher, Nate." She arched her back a bit, so he could get at one of her sore spots. "Grab some sandwiches or something. Six dollars is way too much for a drink, anyway."

He grinned as he massaged her back, listening, his hands firm, and caressing, stroking her back, ass and legs.

"Absolutely. We will carry in our stuff and no one will see it."

She smirked and turned, so that he was now stroking her thighs and quads. "Yep. And the kid'll be fine, the game'll be good, and then we move to the kind of work I like best."

She appreciated the non-violent solutions when they cropped up, but that was seldom, and she couldn't count on all their jobs going so well.

His hands stroked her body, teasing and massaging her legs and thighs, her lower belly, and avoiding, carefully, her most sensitive areas.

"Yep. And we can have all kinds of fun."

She groaned softly, and there was something nakedly erotic about Nate touching her like that. Her hands stroked up his arms, caressing his shoulders and neck, and she smiled up at him, pushing her hair out of her face, before goign back to stroking and touching him. "All kinds?" Her tone was teasing, and her eyes lit up with mischief and playfulness.

He continued, gently working out all the kinks and muscles sorenesses.

He glanced up at her and winked.

"All kinds, love."

His voice purred as he spoke and his telekinesis lightly spanked her bottom, once.

She laughed and pulled herself up, using his shoulders for leverage. She planted a kiss on his chin and began kneading his neck and shoulder muscles with her hands. "It's my turn to tease you. Turn around, love." Her tone was playful, and fairly wicked.

He grinned and rose, turning as he did so.

"Mmmm, I do love when you touch me."

She smirked and stroked her hands over his body, admiring him for a moment. As always, she thought about how beautiful he was, and how much she loved to watch him move. But there were more pressing matters, at the moment. The soap was standard issue hotel fare, and therefore not large enough for two full grown (and then some), adults. Domino shook her head and started to wash Nate's back, fingers trailing over his skin at first, tracing muscle groups. "Going to need more soap."

He snapped his fingers and a bottle, extra-large, popped in.

"Okay."

She hummed quietly as she stroked over his back, massaging his back, mostly, because a person could spend a good two hours and not cover every bit of it the way it needed. "The hot tub was supposed to make you less tense. Some things never change, huh?" She poked his side playfully, and then resumed her massage. "At least I'll have a marketable skill if I ever get taken out of the game, somehow."

Well, other than her death, of course. The undead don't massage well.

He laughed and grinned at her.

"You always did have good hands, Dom."

She laughed and stroked her hands gently over his ass, figuring a full blown massage would be better done on a horizontal surface. "I haven't heard you complain about them yet."

She wondered idlly if she had the energy for sex. She thought so, but it had been a long day. After a moment, she decided she'd follow Nate's lead. Which amused her a great deal.

He groaned and wiggled under her hands. "Mmmm, feels good."

Her hands groped and stroked his body. She worked over his legs as well, cleaning and rubbing all of him. "Now turn around."

He groaned as she worked, and slowly turned when she said. He wiggled in front of her as he did so. She was amazing and he was very turned on.

She washed him gently, beginning with his shoulders and then working her way down. Unlike Nate she couldn't resist running her hand over his cock


He groaned, and wiggled more. "God, I love your touch, Dom."

She closed the gap between them. Strong but gentle pressure pulled him down for a kiss as her body brushed enticingly against his.

He groaned and kissed her hard, his hands stroking down her body to rest at her hips.

"What would you like, love?"

She smiled up at him, and pulled him down for another kiss. Her hands wove through his hair, and she slid one leg up his body, until her pussy was rubbing quite openly against his cock. Before the water washed between them, her hot slickness was obvious. "You, of course. But I'm kind of drained, so you'll have to be in control."

He groaned and kissed her, and his telekinesis lifted her into the air, laying her back so he could slide on top of her and slide into her, his groan as his cock slowly slid into her hot, wet, pussy sounding loud in the room. She was so tight and it felt incredible. He started moving, slowly at first, then faster, and harder.

She wasn't surprised when Nate used his tk to hold her up. Her hands remained locked in his hair as he entered her, and she moaned loudly, the pitch matching Nate's fairly well. She wiggle under him, and kissed him passionately, not in any hurry or dire need. She wanted to relax and have fun with this.

He groaned as he began moving in her, fucking her hot, tight pussy with his long, hard, fat cock. He was not moving fast, but at a steady hard rhythm, grinding into her and rubbing against her clit.

Domino gasped and groaned as he fucked her, hands stroking over his shoulders and neck. "Mmmm, so good, love. So hard and big. Love you so much." Her voice was husky and low, though she wasn't out of breath yet. Her breasts were rubbing against his chest on the in stroke, and the way they were sensitive now, it sent a shiver through her body every time, in addition to the lust and pleasure that he sent into her with every incredible thrust.

He shuddered.

"You are so tight and hot baby, and I feel so good inside you... so very good."

"Yes you do." Her hands kept rubbing and stroking, eventually reaching down to shut the water off, since it was no longer needed. "You fill me up to the very brim, Nate. God, it feels so good."

He shuddered as he fucked her, groaning as he fucked her, hard, grinding into her.

"Love you so much. Love fucking you, baby!"

It wasn't long before Domino was out of breath, her eyes bright and full of lust and love, groaning loudly at every thrust, telling her lover how good he felt, how right.

He shuddered as he fucked her, groaning as he fucked her, hard, grinding into her.

"Love you so much. Love fucking you, baby!"

It wasn't long before Domino was out of breath, her eyes bright and full of lust and love, groaning loudly at every thrust, telling her lover how good he felt, how right.

He groaned as he fucked her, stroking her clit and driving into her hard and deep kissing her as he ground against and into her.

She groaned loudly as she came, her body tensing and arching under Nate's. It felt as though her mind and body had simply melted with pleasure. She looked up at Nate, eyes heavy and sleepy. "Love you, Nathan."

He came, hard, crying her name out. He smiled and lifted her, washing them both off a little with more water that came, despite it being off, and laved them gently. Then they were floating to bed, and snuggling in. "Sleep, love. I love you too."

She curled up around him, and was fast asleep, snoring lightly.

Okay, loudly. But she wasn't bothered by it.

He sank into sleep as well.

When he awoke, he smiled and stretched, yawning sand kissing her. "Mmmmm, yummy."

Domino had been looking, somewhat self consciously, in the full length mirror their room had come with. Her hands stroked over her growing stomach, and she turned toward Nate, smiling a little sheepishly. "Hey, sexy."

He smiled and kissed her lips softly. "Hello, beautiful. I love watching you."

She kissed him back, and turned toward him, away from the mirror. "I didn't mean to wake you."

He snuggled her close. "I know, and it's okay. I'd rather be awake with you."

She sat up slowly, stretching and groaning. "Arg. Want coffee." But there would, sadly, be no coffee. "Free breakfast here, wanna grab some hotel food?"

"Breakfast sounds good. I think there was a wide spread of food mentioned. Want to go find out?"

"Duh." She grinned and went to her bag, sliding into her robe. "I'm always ready for food."

He bounced up and gathered some jogging shorts, which, really, were barely decent, but he did not care. With those and a t-shirt, he nodded. "I am ready. We can fuel up now, and then plan out the day."

She grinned and whistled as he moved. "You're so sexy, Nate. I'm glad this is a pretty low key job. It'll be nice to do a work-date again." Maybe they'd even work up to a real date.

He grinned at her. "And maybe, two weeks from today, you will go out with me to a night in Paris?" He winked.

She laughed. "Let's no go crazy, now. Remember how well that went last time?" Everytime, really.

He smiled. "New world, new rules. Why not try? After all, we still have that option to think about." He nodded as they headed out.

Domino froze, but only for a moment. "So, you think we should get the law involved in our business?" Not that she was against it. She followed closely, not wanting him to get a chance to change topics, or go out of hearing range.

"I was thinking that we take the pregnancy to discuss it and think about it, and if we can survive that, and you still are willing, if, that is, you are willing now, then, yes, I would like to take that option and finalize it, once and for all."

She thought for a moment while they waited for the elevator. "Well, I'm glad that you want that. And I want it too. We already live as though we're married, and it wouldn't change much, except I'd have the option of having yet another legal name." She shrugged. "If nothing changes our minds between now and then, I'll marry you in a heartbeat." there was a pause. "Well, give me a couple days after the kids are born, so I won't be so sore."

He nodded, and winked at her, kissing her. "Maybe a few weeks, so we can celebrate properly." He grinned at her.

She laughed. "I didn't even think about that. I wonder how long it would take my body to recover?" Scaaaaary.

He shook his head. "Whatever it takes, we will do, but My powers will help keep things... interesting."

Domino smirked. "Should probably talk to a doctor who knows our situation about it." She sighed. "Damn, this having kids things is getting depressing."

He nodded. "I'm sorry." He hugged her as they walked.

She snuggled into him, and wrapped her arm around him. "You should be. Made me fall in love with you, spent so much time with me, hired me even after things had fallen apart like a gingerbread house in a daycare, and then reminded me why I loved you in the first place. You're an evil, evil man, Nathan." The grin that spread over her face was rather expansive.

He shook his head and grinned, smirking. "Evillll. And absolutely in love."

She snickered. "Oooh, it smells like croissants. How cool would it be if they had fresh ones here?" There was much bouncing on Domino's part as she went to check out the food.

He peered in, an followed. There was a lot of good food, and he quickly made a large plate full.

She piled a plate rather high, and threw herself into a chair. Yay, food! She started on her food with a will.

He watched her as he ate. "Beautiful woman." For once, he finished first, and sat back with a soda, watching her, and admiring.

Domino was impressed with his eating prowress. She'd gotten nearly as much food as him. holy shit. She laughed and slowed down a little. "Good food."

He nodded. "I think you are starting the whole eating for three thing."

She nodded a little. "My stomach isn't the only thing that's getting bigger." Of course, she didn't terribly mind having a bigger ass, but all the rest she would be regretting when she was laid up after the kids were born. Man, she'd have to lay in bed for at least a day. How the hell was she going to manage that?

He chuckled. "You'll be okay. I will help."

There was a slightly regretful sigh as she finished her food. "Yeah, but I'll be too out of it to notice. I'm going to be so fucking wiped out."

"And you will get back in shape. You are amazing."

The thought of getting back into shape, when she'd worked so hard to stay in shape was fairly daunting. "At least my back will be stronger from carrying around two kids all the time." Her tone was a little sadder and more reserved. Stupid mood swings. She hated them so much.

He snuggled her close, stroking her back gently.

"You are stronger than anyone I know./"

She let him hold her, but didn't really feel like moving much. "God, things are going to be so different. I mean. . . two whole new humans. The ship's population will double."

"We will make a bigger ship? And you and I will do great. You and I can do anything Dom."

"The ship's big enough. I've just never. . . I mean, the kids I've dealt with have all been pretty able to tell me what's wrong with them. Having a helpless tiny thing that isn't even sentient in my care is. . . possibly not so smart." She chewed her lip, her arm wrapping around Nate. "I don't want to fuck this up. I really, really don't. But I have no idea how to do this parenting thing."

He cocked his head at her.

"I can fix that. And kid's minds and bodies do exude what they want, if you can hear it..."

He pondered.

"How would you like conditional telempathy?"

She blinked, and took a drink of her orange juice. "Uh? How would that work, exactly?" The confusion was evident not just on her face but in every aspect of her body's posture.

"Telepathy for me and anyone of my bloodline, strongest for me and the kids, so you could always tell what they needed, when they needed, and it would also hel;p us on jobs."

He nodded.

"Can you really do that?" the idea was a little far out, even for Cable. "I mean, that's. . . a little much, even for our crazy ass lives."

"Yes, I can." He blushed. "I can do a lot that I do not do… and I have been working out little things for a very long time. I would essentially craft short hand telepathy. You would not truly gain Telepathy, but would have a functional link sense with me and the kid, always there, for you to sense, and later talk, and the ability to contact anyone else with my basic DNA, so my brothers or uncles, or sister."

"Oh." Domino thought about that for a minute. "Okay. I can deal with that. Will I hear shit all the time like you do?" Because that would rapidly get annoying, and she wasn't patient enough to deal with people's shit.

"Good." Then he shook his head. "No, only from us. But there will be a constant, well, like faint background noise, of us. Thoughts you will only feel when we 'talk'."

"Alright. The mental link gives me static sometimes anyway, so it's no big deal." She nodded, resting her head on Nate's shoulder. "But we should probably wait until this game is over, just in case it's a distraction."

He nodded. "That makes sense, oh wise sexy one." He grinned and snuggled her close, hands moving lightly over her. "Then after the game, we can come back and spend some more time... relaxing."

"Okay. We should probably go back to the room so we can get ready to go. It'll be cold in just those little shorts." She smirked, her fingers stroking under their waistband. "Though I could warm you up, of course."

He nodded and shook his head. "No distractions on the job, but afterward, well, I might just have to pull you on my lap..."

She shivered, eyes half closed for a moment as the thought completed itself. She sighed softly and eyed Cable. "So, wait, are we engaged now?" The thought had just occurred to her.

He licked his lips and nodded, eying her, smiling... "Is that okay?" A note almost of uncertainty was there. Even Cable could be vulnerable.

Domino stroked his face softly. "Yes. It is definitely very ok." the look on her face was confident. There was nothing they couldn't handle together.

He breathed and grinned and kissed her softly, slowly.

"Then good. Hello, my fiance."

She grinned and kissed him, then stood, pulling on his arm. "C'mon, we still need to get beer and food for the game." Their first date of their engagement was a football game where they might have to kill an innocent kid. It was sadly in line with how their life always seemed to be. But there was always hope.

He followed, letting her pull him along and definitely did not bounce, not at all.

"Let's get to work."

Hours later Domino and Nate had made their way into the stadium, and were parked in the cheap seats with a pair of binoculars. It was the easiest way to see the whole stadium, and Domino was taking a break from watching the kid to eat a sandwich. Stupid kids. Making her hungry all the time.

When they weren't worried about the boy, it was a pretty good game. She felt herself getting into somewhat despite herself.

Cable was smiling as he sat next to her , occasionally touching her arm, watching the game and grinning. "This is a nice game." He was sipping a soda as he watched her watch the game. One part of his mind was focused on the kid.

"It is." Domino nodded, turning the binoculars to the field. "Ooh, did you see that! That was brutal." She watched as the players maneuvered and ran into each other. It was high quality entertainment.

Cable chuckled and watched the game, and her, and the boy. It was a good game, and the kid was fine, and wow... Dom was hot. He grinned again. This life? This was good.

Domino got more and more into the game as time passed, her worries easing as the Steelers pulled further and further ahead, making it look like the game was pretty well cinched. If anything was going to happen, it would have a harder time happening now that the emotions had ebbed. She shivered a little with the cold, and then climbed in Nate's lap, looking up at him, almost daring him to say anything about it. Not that she thought he'd mind.

He grinned, eyes twinkling. "Welcome home, Dom." Oh, he knew better. Besides, she felt good on his lap, and his body was definitely reacting. Mmmm, you feel... nice.

She smirked and wiggled on his lap, turning to face him. You feel very hard, Sexy. Something you want?

You, always.

And he kissed her, a hot kiss, his arms slipping around her, his mind enfolding hers, warmth and love and lust flowing outward.

Sometimes, Cable forgot how strong he was. He was an Omega class mutant, and with all of his power filling him. He tended to restrain it, but in a moment of love, sometimes he forgot.

Like now.

He was kissing Dom and distracted, so did not notice when a lot of couples, all over the stadium, were suddenly making out, lust filling them. Even the kid, across the way, was getting lucky.

Domino, for her part, didn't notice either. For one thing, her brain was just as susceptible to Nate's telepathy as everyone else's, and possibly even more so. For another, she was with the man she loved, and willfully ignored the rest of the world. The game heated up behind them, players suddenly playing rougher and harder than they had before. "We'll have to keep moving, or else we'll get cold," she noted, eyes hooded, lips a little fuller from the attention they'd been receiving.

He rolled his hips under her, grinning, and then kissed her again, eyes full of lust and wonder.

Oh, I intend to keep moving, very much... His hips rolled again under her, in a sign of exactly how he wanted to move as his hands skimmed down and over her ass, then back up to her shoulders.

She shivered and stroked her hands down his stomach and chest. Sounds good, sexy. She opened his jacket, kissing his neck and collarbone, rubbing up against his cock when she could. Even just that little motion sent heat and lust spiraling through her.

He moaned softly, wiggling under her as he grew harder against her. His hands lifted her gently as he freed himself, and then stroked along her outfit. Telekinesis gently parted the bonds of matter and holes in the right places appeared as he lowered her again, and gasped as he slid slowly, ever so slowly, into her, her weight making the penetration all that much greater.

Domino groaned loudly, whimpering loudly. "Oh, fuck, Nate." Her body was so tight around him. It felt so incredible to be penetrated like this. Her eyes were on Cable's face, and she pulled him down for a kiss, wiggling on his cock.

He slowly rolled his hips, driving his cock up into her pussy with hard and deep thrusts, slow in and outs, his whole self focused on her, his eyes on hers and his lips demanding as he fucked her hard.

Her cries were not soft at all, but were easily drowned out by the sounds of the others around them. People with no partners were hooking up with strangers of their preferred gender, or watching the couples around them, rubbing themselves through their clothing. The cameras panned the stadium as the networks pulled the plug on the game's coverage. Even the players were suddenly distracted by the cheerleaders, and there was a general consensus that it was time to have other balls intercepted.

Through it all, Domino only had eyes and ears for Nate, his pleasure and lust buzzing through her brain, finding a ready answer in her own mind. "God, yes. Love you, love this, so much."

He fucked her harder, faster, driving up into her, mind and body sending his lust and love into her, his whole self shaking as he groaned her name and kissed her again and again.

Around them the lust continued as sex exploded everywhere.

Several hours, one shower, and one night's sleep later, Domino was watching the news idly while they waited out the remainder of the time they'd bought at the hotel. It seemed like a normal thing to do, and beside, they'd payed for these last couple hours anyway. There was an item about the previous day's game, which talked about a 'disturbance' that had led to a couple people being taken to the hospital for sprains and exposure. Domino blinked, watched the footage, and then turned to Nate, trying not to laugh. "I think we messed up, sexy."

Cable wandered out and grinned. "What makes you say that?" He watched the news with a smirk. "We stopped the wrong thing from happening. Never said nothing was supposed to happen. Didn't plan it, but, no harm, no foul."

"I guess. I do feel bad for those poor cheerleaders, though." Luckily, all the steroids would make the player's equipment smaller, so they probably hadn't done the girls too much harm. "I wonder how many important people were conceived in that?"

"The ones who ended up having sex there already liked multiple partners, and less than ten people had sex that would be traumatizing, and I already am working on helping them, anonymously. All the cheerleaders seem to be rather happy today, so they seem to have weathered it all well, even if none of them can walk, or sit...."

He grinned at her.

"I can only imagine."

Domino winced at that. "For a group that large, that's a surprise, since even a lot of consensual sex under controlled circumstances can be traumatizing." She curled up a little. "Poor people. Nobody's too fucked up, are they?"

She blamed it on the hormones. It was all the hormones' fault. Definitely not a new found sense of compassion. The very idea was silly.

He shook his head.

"Nope. Almost unanimously, the people there came out of it with a positive feeling, and with increased self esteem, and with a sense of pride and care, and some even came out of it with a sense of purpose."

He hugged her.

"It will be okay. It was not the best of happenings, but if all goes well, the worst will be averted, and people's lives will be bettered."

"Okay." She snuggled into him. "But we probably should keep our orgies to ourselves, next time." There was, perhaps, a bit of dry humor in her tone.

"Of course."

He hugged her close.

"I'd rather just be with you anyway. Several thousand orgasms in my head is a weird thing.

That just made her laugh a great deal. Her body shook with the force of her laughter, and she was soon in tears from it. It was relief, and a sense of accomplishment, and the previous day's pleasure and enjoyment that made this so hysterically funny.

He kissed her, and snuggled her, and carried her, with gentle arms to the bedroom, snuggling her close.

"I love you."

Domino snuggled into him, kissing his neck softly. "I love you too, Nate. We should just grab the bags and go home. Our bed is waaaay more comfortable. Beside, all the stuff for our jaunt in the Middle East is there, and eventually we're going to get restless." Eventually. Right now, snuggling was pretty much right up her alley.

He chuckled. "Then let's snuggle, and in a few hours, we can head for home.
Meanwhile, rest..."

"Oh, alright." Domino kissed Nate, and stroked his face softly. "I thought you'd be eager to get back and get started on the next bit."

He shook his head. "All things in their time, Dom. I have been watching the news. Things
are quiet today. We will go there tomorrow and deal with the madness. Today is ours."

She nodded and slid out of his arms, onto the bed. "That sounds good. I was hoping you'd feel that way."

He grinned and shed his clothing as he slid into bed as well. "With you here? Not much chance I would not."

That just made her smirk. "Good."

It was, she decided, a very good day.
