In Marvel as a summoning Mage

New Home

Ritsuka Fujimaru sat quietly in the garden, letting the gentle breeze brush against his face. He was trying to make sense of the recent conversation with his lovers. The truth of the matter was that, despite everything he'd faced—battles against impossible odds, the weight of worlds on his shoulders—nothing quite prepared him for the revelations they had just laid before him. Morgan, Ereshkigal, Archetype: Earth, Artoria Lancer, and even Ryougi Shiki had declared, with smiles as radiant as ever, that they wanted to have children with him.

He couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. In the midst of all the chaos, the danger, and the existential threats, here were these incredible women, some of the most powerful beings he'd ever known, talking about something as fundamentally human as starting a family. It was overwhelming, to say the least. But seeing their smiles, the warmth in their eyes—his worries melted away. Their love for him was real, and that alone was enough to chase away the darkness that had been clouding his mind.

"I must have the strangest life," Ritsuka murmured to himself, a soft smile tugging at his lips. He knew that his path was far from ordinary, but moments like this made all the trials worth enduring.

As he stood to return to the others, he noticed the X-Men slowly regaining consciousness. They were a sight to behold, groggy but unharmed, their expressions shifting from confusion to relief as they realized the Phoenix threat had dissipated.

After few minutes later, Jean Grey was the first to approach him, her eyes shining with newfound clarity. "Ritsuka… thank you. I don't know how, but the Phoenix is… gone. Or at least, it's not controlling me anymore."

Scott Summers, who had been watching from a few steps behind, joined her. He took Jean's hand, his gratitude evident in his expression. "Yeah, thank you. We owe you a lot, Ritsuka."

Ritsuka smiled modestly, shaking his head. "You don't owe me anything. Jean, it's because of your kindness saved you and you were able to overcome the Phoenix. And Xavier's guidance… that played a huge part too." Ritsuka thought if Jean was not kind girl then phonix would be huge problem like in comics.

At the mention of his name, Charles Xavier, still recovering from the mental strain of the ordeal, looked up with a proud smile. "Thank you, Ritsuka. To hear that from someone like you means a lot."

Scott nodded, agreeing with the sentiment. "Yeah, we're just glad it's over… for now, at least."

As they spoke, Jean's attention was caught by the sight of Ereshkigal playing with Karen, Ritsuka's daughter, on the lawn nearby. Karen's laughter was infectious, and her gleeful giggles filled the air. Jean excused herself to join them, leaving Ritsuka and Scott to talk.

Ritsuka noticed Scott watching Jean with a complicated expression. He knew that look all too well. "Scott, have you told Jean how you feel about her?"

Scott hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "I… I haven't. I'm afraid, you know? What if she doesn't feel the same way? Or worse, what if it complicates things between us?"

Ritsuka leaned back against the tree, crossing his arms as he regarded Scott thoughtfully. "You know, I've been in that position before. Loving someone can be terrifying, .... especially when you're not sure how they feel. But trust me, staying silent out of fear only leads to regret."

Scott frowned, thinking back to all the chaos they had been through—Hydra, the Phoenix, and everything else. "You're right. With all the insanity we've been dealing with, it seems stupid to wait any longer."

Ritsuka nodded, pleased to see Scott taking his words to heart. "Good. But just one thing… taking her on a car ride to confess? Probably not the best idea."
