Thaddeus follows Emma's advice~
-x-X-x-
“Glughk… Glughk… Glughk…”
Lounging back on his bed, Thaddeus looks down at the beautiful goth laid out between his thighs and gives her a smile as she deep-throats his cock to the best of her abilities. Rogue might not be able to fully suppress her gag reflex yet, but if nothing else she’s an enthusiastic student and a quick learner.
She was also very eager to accept his offer of spending most nights in his dorm now that Mystique was effectively going to be gone most of the time and ‘Risty Wilde’ was going to steadily fail out of ESU. Of course, some nights that meant she had to share him, whether it was with Laura or Kitty or Gwen… or a combination of any or all three.
But some nights, like tonight, it was just the two of them. And Rogue got to have Thaddeus all to herself. Pulling her painted black lips back along his cock for a moment while maintaining eye contact the entire way, Rogue swirls her tongue along his shaft, her saliva, drool, and slobber all over his knob. Then, she dives right back down again, driving him absolutely insane.
“Fuck Rogue…”
As Thaddeus groans out his enjoyment, positive affirmation that only spurs Rogue on further, the wet, shlicking noises of the young woman’s fingers in her cunt also fill the otherwise quiet dorm room. Even with one hand fondling his balls, that still leaves the other free to play with her pussy, revving up her engine for the eventual main event.
Emma had told him in no uncertain terms that she wanted him to be fucking Rogue as much as possible for the next month. Needless to say, Thaddeus didn’t really need to be persuaded on that front. Not in any meaningful way. Of course, he’d still wanted to know the why behind the time frame.
As expected, it had everything to do with the Hellfire Gala he would be attending at the end of the month. His debut to the Hellfire Club could wind up being rather messy, according to Emma. That wasn’t the plan, of course. The plan was for things to be quiet. For him to show up, maybe draw a few curious eyes, but ultimately not be anyone too important to them.
Sure he was a mutant who got stronger, and yes that meant he would be a big player in the future… but none of them knew he could empower other mutants yet. And as far as they were concerned, right now he was just some college himbo with dreams of using his mutant powers to cheat his way into Football Stardom.
Not that it was technically cheating just yet. There weren’t enough mutants in sports for people to have codified rules surrounding them at this time. Mutants in general were a barely understood phenomenon that had only truly been accepted as reality instead of myth in the past decade or so. As such, their place in society was still more than shaky… it was downright nonexistent.
For someone like Thaddeus who showed no visual signs of being a mutant at this time… and thanks to his version of Mystique’s powers, would NEVER have to show outward signs of mutation if he didn’t have to… well, the sky was the limit. Unless the world at large discovered his powers, he could basically do what he wanted when it came to college football, and he’d probably be able to do the same with the NFL as well if he chose to go that path.
As far as the Hellfire Club was concerned in the short term, Thaddeus was an investment… but a minor one. Emma had assured him she’d done everything in her power to make sure of that, even as she’d told him in the next breath that there were still those within the club’s hierarchy who were looking to take advantage of him in the long term.
So really, there was no reason that Thaddeus’ debut should be anything too big. The Gala he was attending wasn’t even for him. It being his introduction to the Hellfire Club was pretty much an afterthought. He was an afterthought. And while the old Chad Cummings who was the most popular guy in school and a High School Quarterback might have taken umbrage with that issue, Thaddeus was smarter than his old self. By a lot, at this point.
Being an afterthought to people who had the power to do terrible things to him, whether it be capture and experimentation, or simply smearing him across the wall like an errant bug… was a good thing. Emma hadn’t had to tell him that he was better off being underestimated, Thaddeus already knew that to be a fact. In the end, he was basically a nobody trying to make his way in a world already filled to the brim with dangerous movers and shakers.
One day he would stand among them as an equal, or even in some cases their superior. If he didn’t fucking get himself killed first.
Down below, Rogue makes a disgruntled noise in the back of her throat, prompting Thaddeus to smile down at her apologetically. Reaching out, he takes ahold of her hair, sliding his fingers through the white shock and pushing her gently but firmly down to the base of his cock. She lets him do so without complaint, swallowing continuously as he tips over the edge and cums down her throat.
She drinks his seed rather well, showing just how quick of a learner she really is as they both feel the power boost that comes with sexual actions he’s involved in. Letting out a shuddering sigh, Thaddeus nods down to Rogue, even as he lets go of her hair and she pulls off of his cock with a pop.
Reaching out hesitantly, Rogue places her hand on Thaddeus’ thigh and activates her powers. He doesn’t activate his own, because that would ruin the point. They effectively cancel each other out after all, and the whole reason Rogue is even draining him is… well, she’s not able to go quite as long as him without it.
The contact lasts a couple of seconds and Thaddeus already feels absurdly cold and short of breath when Rogue cuts herself off. A testament to how much the mutant energy vampire’s powers have already grown, all things considered. Of course, thanks to his extended experiences with Laura, his own vitality comes rushing back in just a handful of seconds as well.
Thaddeus doesn’t need to sleep anymore. Which given he’s technically a college student on a football scholarship who’s also juggling a double life as a power-hungry mutant, is very, very good. Even if he has to spend way more of his daytime hours in classes or at practice then he would like, his evenings and nights are all his to do with as he pleased. An hour of sleep is all it takes for him to get the effects of a full eight, and he has the other twenty-three to do whatever he wants.
Rogue, however, isn’t so lucky. She definitely still needs sleep… unless he lets her absorb him a few times a night to keep her energy levels up. In the end, fully revitalized, the goth coed scrambles up the length of his body, taking his softening cock in both hands and stroking it back to full mast.
“A-Again?”
Smiling at that hesitant but excited and hopeful tone, Thaddeus nods to her, even as he takes her by the hips and lifts her up to help her impale herself on his cock. Rogue moans as she drops onto his length, tossing her head back in ecstatic pleasure as her entire body shudders. Her pussy walls clench and flex around his shaft, while Thaddeus slides his hands up from her hips to her tits, grasping at her chest and fondling her breasts.
Her nipples are already rock hard, but he knows his technique is having an immediate effect on her as she gets even tighter around his cock and her moaning gets even louder. Wasting no time whatsoever, Rogue begins to bounce up and down on him, riding him like there’s no tomorrow. Truly, she’s taken to being able to not just touch people, but also fuck, like a fish to water.
That said…
“Don’t forget that I’ll be away in the evening tomorrow.”
Leaning forward to better push her hands into his wonderfully skilled fingers, Rogue bites her lower lip and holds back her moans for a moment as she nods.
“I-I know… you said you were meeting with… a mercenary?”
Thaddeus hums before inclining his head.
“Yep. Emma didn’t tell me much except that her name is Domino and she has a rather… strange mutation.”
Rogue grunts and groans as she slams herself down onto his cock again and again.
“Like… like m-mine.”
Grunting right back, Thaddeus nods. That was Emma’s big plan for the next month. To get him some more esoteric powers that would give him a competitive edge in case the worst happened. He could understand why being able to drain someone’s energy with even a basic touch would be extremely powerful, of course. Combined with his insane healing factor, Thaddeus would have to be completely restrained before anyone could take him down. Or they’d have to kill him so hard and so fast that he couldn’t regenerate.
Otherwise, all he would have to do is touch his enemies one time and they’d be down and he’d be up. Meanwhile, this Domino chick…
“It’s strange like yours, but not really similar. Apparently, her powers are luck-based.”
That gets a furrowed brow from Rogue as she tilts her head to the side.
“What? How… how would that even work?”
Thaddeus just shrugs, even as they continue fucking with Rogue riding him like a woman possessed.
“Honestly? No clue. Emma doesn’t know much either. Apparently Domino’s powers also come with a subconscious psychic defense, and it’s not like she’s going around telling everyone what she can do. All she’ll say is that she’s ‘lucky’ and leaves it at that.”
Rogue makes a noise in the back of her throat, one that could either be annoyance… or just a gurgling half-cut off moan. Chuckling, Thaddeus continues on.
“So far, it’s worked really well for her. According to Emma, the things that Domino has done, and the things that happen around her… well, luck almost doesn’t seem to cut it. But there’s no denying she’s very… very… very lucky.”
With each ‘very’, Thaddeus thrusts up with his hips into Rogue, causing her to squeak, yelp, and then moan out as she cums for him for the umpteenth time. While she’s shuddering her way through a recovery, Thaddeus sighs.
“Anyways, I’ll meet Domino tomorrow night for our first ‘session’. I don’t know what that’s going to be like really. Emma only said she told Domino everything she needed to know about the job without giving away secrets, and also confirmed that Domino should be game for everything…”
He had to admit though, he was still a little worried. Hiring a mercenary to basically prostitute herself to him for the next month? At least Thaddeus could be sure that Domino was going to get a power boost as well, on top of whatever Emma was paying the other woman. In the meantime…
As Rogue pushes herself up off of his chest, panting and slowly working her way back towards riding him after that mind-blowing orgasm, Thaddeus looks her in the eye.
“There was one other thing. Emma wanted me to ask you about it, but I guess I’ve been putting it off a little bit because when she found out I hadn’t yet, she got on my case.”
Rogue furrows her brow, tilting her head to the side.
“… About what?”
It’s because Rogue is so innocent and pure, for all that they’ve been rather debauched and depraved with each other for the past week. Thaddeus doesn’t want to feel like he’s using her or abusing her trust. And he definitely doesn’t want her to think he only cares about her for her powers… or her connections.
“There’s someone that Emma wanted me to look into. Someone who is apparently affiliated with the Brotherhood of Mutants. Her name is… Wanda Maximoff?”
Rogue’s eyes widen at that, making it immediately clear that she knows exactly who he’s talking about. Rambling a little bit, Thaddeus fills the air between them.
“Emma wasn’t able to find out much about her, mind you. But she was looking into esoteric options and Wanda’s name came up. Something about her being a witch or something? Her mutation gives her access to Chaos Magic of some sort?”
The hesitation on Rogue’s face makes it clear that Thaddeus has stepped into a minefield, so he falls quiet and lets the young woman collect herself. Finally, after a long pause, Rogue lets out a shuddering sigh.
“I’ve… met Wanda once or twice, yes. She isn’t… well, she seemed nice enough. But she’s not been doing well since… since losing her brother. And with her father in prison…”
Thaddeus blinks at that, frowning.
“Oh no. I’m sorry to hear that. Were they…?”
Rogue inclines her head.
“Wanda’s brother was named Pietro. Her father… is Magneto.”
Oh. Thaddeus had read up on all of that after meeting Mystique for the first time. The Brotherhood of Mutants was called what it was, despite him only having met female members so far, because it was first formed by a mutant man. Magneto. Apparently, he could control metal or something, but to such massive degrees that it made him very, very powerful.
He was also currently confined to an entirely plastic prison last Thaddeus had heard, after losing a fight with the X-Men? The details were kind of murky, and from the impression Thaddeus had gotten, that was because certain people in power were doing their best to cover things up. It was the kind of stuff that didn’t make the evening news, that was for sure.
“I could… call her for you if you wanted? Get you in touch with her?”
Looking up into Rogue’s hesitant, almost fearful face, Thaddeus raises an eyebrow at that.
“You don’t sound very sure of yourself, Rogue. In fact, you don’t sound like you think that’s a good idea at all.”
Huffing, Rogue lowers herself to his chest, pressing her breasts against his pectorals as she moves her hips up and down on his crotch some more, still sliding his length in and out of herself.
“It’s just… Wanda is very powerful, Thad. You would definitely get stronger if the two of you had sex. But then… so would she, wouldn’t she? And I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. Not with the mental space she’s in right now. Mystique and Destiny have been keeping an eye on her, helping her out. I just… I don’t know if meeting you… and getting ‘meated’ BY you would be good or bad for her…”
Thaddeus snorts at Rogue’s rather bad joke, even as he considers her words. If even one of Wanda Maximoff’s teammates felt like she was too unstable for more power, that was probably a fair reason to avoid it despite Emma’s insistence. But at the same time, Rogue was ONLY hesitant, not completely against the idea. She was still willing to make contact for him.
All Thaddeus had to do was give the word…
[ ] Rogue is probably worrying about nothing, have her arrange a meeting for him - 26%
