Spidergwen: I have a system?!

Chapter 176: Phoenix Training

[3rd POV]

A couple of days later, after the girls had gotten situated in their new home, and after Gwen had upgraded the training hall in order to handle the power of Jean when using the Phoenix Force, Gwen was sat within the training hall, Jean sitting across from her in a meditative position as she was reaching into her own mind. She had already explained to Jean that the Phoenix Force was something within her that she had to reach out to and learn to properly communicate with.

Watching as the girl was seemingly communicating with the Phoenix within her, Gwen sat. She could sense the immense power that was beginning to form within the girl, a power that was well beyond her own capabilities at the moment, belonging to an entity that could destroy the entire Multiverse and beyond.

Over those couple of days, besides setting up the bedrooms of the girls, she had also been getting an influx of quest completions thanks to her clones traveling about claiming all sorts of powerful objects of note, ones that would be important to her future. Thanks to this, she had gotten a little over 60 TL tickets and 21 quest completions, pushing her to 68 tickets and had naturally claimed that 1 SSL ticket from them.

[SSL Character - Hope Summers (616, no Phoenix)]

The new character was a HUGE addition, as she was...one of the most overpowered mutants there were, if not the most overpowered. Her mutant power was simple, and yet so very strong, it was the ability known as...Power Manipulation.

She was able to mimic, regulate, amplify, nullify, sense, and bestow mutant powers and abilities. Her mimicry of powers was able to perfectly mimic the power back to her with full and absolute control over the ability, even if the original user did not have any control of it. She could mimic as many mutant powers as she wanted, but it was incredibly taxing on her form, and more than that, it would fade due to time, distance and usage.

She doesn't even need to touch the one she is mimicking the powers of, instead she simply needed to be in the general vicinity of them. She was also incapable of mimicking the powers of anyone that was not a mutant, at least, right now. With the right training, Gwen was pretty certain that she could, but it would take quite some time.

The final aspect that made Hope even more interesting, was the fact that she was completely undetectable by technology, even mutant sensing ones, which was a pretty good boon for Gwen as it was a passive ability and did not need to be activated or anything.

The mimicry ability by itself was already incredibly powerful, but combine it with the fact that she was literally making a home for all mutants, her adaptation powers, and immortality, and you have a huge boon for future fights, and what was basically invulnerability while she was in Malzif near other mutants. It would make invasion of the city next to impossible with the level of power she would have at any point and time, and made it even more important that she started to recruit people from around the multiverse.

Sitting across from Jean as she began to glow a soft orange flame like color, Gwen smiled, pleased as she began to call upon more and more of the phoenix force, the heat within the room rising slowly but surely as Gwen ignored it, adapting to the new heat that was beginning to invade the space.

Thanks to Yun Che, she was immune to fire, just about every fire out there. It would take the Phoenix Force itself to harm her with flames. Something that Jean wasn't capable of just yet.

"Do you feel it Jean? The power of the Phoenix within you? Pull on it, allow it to flow through you, and follow your instincts. But do not allow negative emotions to surface while you do this, remember our exercises" Gwen instructed. These exercises were actually for Jean's mental health in order to deal with some of her baggage, and worked very well thanks to the nature of them.
