Mist's Jumps Part 42
🕑 Added 2018-02-27 09:42:04 +0000 UTCRaven raised her eyebrows in disbelief as Selena finished explaining her idea for dramatically increasing everyone’s mana pool. “You expect us to believe that you have an ability that increases your permanent mana pool via sex with magic users?” She would have added the ‘and you can share it’ part if they hadn’t already shown that they could share some of their abilities.
Selena shrugged. “It only works the first time we have sex with someone but yeah, it’s one of the reasons we have such huge mana pools.”
“And you’re willing to share it?” Dawn asked with excitement as she thought about some of the interesting things she could do with a larger mana pool and some training, something her sister had been reluctant to allow on the hellmouth.
Abby smiled at Dawn. “Of course, I’d love the chance to have some naughty yet extremely productive fun with you.”
Tara spoke up, “I think we’re going to need a demonstration that your power actually works before we’re going to jump into bed with you.”
“That can be arranged,” Mist pointed out.
Cordelia glanced between Mist and Selena. “That doesn’t exactly help the rest of us.”
“Why not?” Selena asked.
“Because I have a boyfriend.”
Selena pointed at Mist. “So do I, he doesn’t object when I have sex with cute girls, why should your boyfriend as long as he gets to watch? It’s for a good cause.”
“Fairly sure it doesn’t work that way most of the time,” Eris muttered as she flashed back to some of the things her housemates had said about her and Mione being together.
Alex gulped as the group turned and looked at him. “I’m not going to object if you want to have some fun with attractive girls.”
“As long as you get to watch or have some fun on the side?” Cordelia asked with a raised eyebrow.
Alex shook his head. “Even leaving aside the fact that I’m a teenager and I’d love to watch you and another hot girl have sex, we’re talking about getting enough mana to power a shield that could take several full strength punches from Buffy without dropping. We might have been hot shit in our old world but there are people here that can rip worlds apart with the snap of their fingers. I’d rather have as many additional defenses as possible.”
Dawn spoke up, “Screw it, if you’re not interested, I’ll go first.”
Buffy turned to look at her sister. “What?”
“He’s hot as hell and I haven’t had sex with a guy since before Halloween last year, okay, technically I’ve never had sex with a guy but I remember it thanks to my Halloween memories and I damn sure enjoyed it. Willow has spells to check for diseases and prevent pregnancy, so yeah, sign me up.”
Starfire raised her hand. “It sounds fun.”
Buffy studied Dawn’s face, as much as she wanted to lock her sister up she couldn’t exactly blame her, Mist was certainly tall, dark and attractive enough to get her motor going. She turned and glared at him. “If this is a trick, I’ll find a way to slay you.”
Mist turned to look at Buffy. “It’s not a trick, it’s merely the best way I know of to increase everyone’s mana pool, after that we can work on boosting everyone’s mana regeneration to take advantage of your increased capacity.”
Eris spoke up, “If it’s not a trick, I’m interested.”
Mione raised her eyebrows. “Really? I’ve never even seen you look at a guy.”
“Have you seen the idiots at Hogwarts? Neville, Fred and George are taken, Seamus blows everything up, Ron is a garbage disposal, none of the Slytherins even close to our year are what I’d call decent human beings, all of the male Ravenclaws have sticks up their arses or believed the Prophet when they printed their shit about me in fourth year and the Hufflepuffs went above and beyond being bastards back in fourth year when I had my name pulled out of the cup so yeah, no real point in looking at any of the boys in Hogwarts. Besides, I had you.”
“Point. I guess if my girlfriend is willing, I’m in,” Mione agreed hesitantly.
Mist studied Mione’s face, he could tell that she was cautiously hopeful about the upcoming event. He wasn’t sure what to blame her agreement on, Genie picking the ‘right’ Hermione or one of his various appearance perks. Even keeping his creepy darklighter appearance perk that scaled with his power level toggled off, the various free or cheap appearance perks added up, while he wasn’t supernaturally attractive, he was certainly on the upper end of the appearance scale. “In that case, I’ll create an avatar and we can get to work.”
Buffy asked, “What exactly is the plan?”
“First we give Selena and Abby a copy of my slot machine ability then we have them toggle their sexual magic perk off then we have Dawn strip and Abby start playing with her to get her in the mode then we have Selena create an avatar and join in the fun. Selena’s avatar can use one of her new slots to acquire an overload ability that works on her amplification ability. My avatar can do the same with the sexual magic ability. Then they’ll activate their boosts and he can share the boosted perk with Dawn. She should get a massive boost from Selena and Abby then I’ll join and she’ll get an even larger boost to her mana pool. We should have maybe fifteen to thirty minutes to get everything done.”
Dawn flushed slightly as she thought about being on display, she flashed back to some of the times her Halloween self had danced on tables, it certainly wasn’t a turn off. “I’ll do it.”
“Really?” Willow asked in surprise.
“You know I like an audience.”
Tara glanced around the lobby at the rest of the group. “Are you sure, there is a difference between us and strangers.”
“We’re going to be in the same dorm for six months and showering with most of them, it’s not like they’re not going to see the goods.”
Abby snickered. “If we weren’t on a time limit, I’d grab our Dawn.”
Willow smiled as she pictured a whip cream covered Dawn wrestling with herself. “Oh, that could be fun.”
Cordelia shook her head. “You’re all crazy.”
Selena laughed. “We have another Cordelia, I’d pay good money to watch you fuck her.”
“How much?”
“How much do you want?” Selena asked with amusement.
Raven cut in, “We’re getting off topic. Let’s worry about enjoying the show and boosting Dawn then we’ll worry about the rest of us.” She was was just glad that her link with her father was gone otherwise she’d have had to leave, grab a cold shower and practice meditation to stop the thoughts running around her head which would have been a damned shame..
Selena looked at Mist. “Get working on the slot machine book.”
“Your wish is my command.” Mist stuck his tongue out at Selena.
Abby said, “You might as well strip Dawn, we’ll start slow, he only needs five minutes for the ritual.”
Dawn grinned as she reached down and pulled her shirt off.
Mist smiled as he saw Dawn’s perfect creamy white skin, lack of a bra and perky breasts. He created an avatar. “On second thought, get started on the book I’m enjoying the show.”
The avatar pulled his attention off Dawn with difficulty. “I hate you Boss.”
“Yeah, you’ll get over it,” Mist replied with amusement as he watched Dawn stand up.
Buffy watched Mist’s ‘clone’ stalk off to an empty spot on the floor, turn away from them then start chanting softly. “So, what’s the deal with your clone?”
“He’s just a temporary copy of me in case I need to be in two places at once, I get his memories when he vanishes.”
“That could have been handy back in Sunnydale,” Buffy replied trying not to look like she was checking out her sister even though she was, she blamed Halloween for that particular bad habit. Not that she would have changed anything given the powers they’d received.
Emrys watched with amusement as Dawn stepped up on the couch then slipped out of her sweats revealing pink silk panties with red hearts on them. He was just glad he’d spent so much time with the girls in the pocket world or he would have been blushing even worse than he was. He could certainly see why Mist had wanted more copies of his friends running around. ‘At least things are never boring anymore.’
Morgana smiled as she watched Dawn make a come here motion with her finger toward Selena. ‘At least she’s having fun.’
Selena giggled as she stood up and walked over to stand in front of Dawn. “Yes?”
Dawn smiled at Selena. “You’re wearing too many clothes.”
Mist smiled as he watched Dawn playfully help Selena out of her clothes to the amusement of everyone, especially when Selena floated above the ground so Dawn could pull her sweats off. ‘If this works, I’m going to need to boost my heartless perk so it’s worth tracking down dark wizards in my warehouse city.’ He absently checked the percentage on his heartless perk as he watched Dawn gently pull Selena’s panties down her legs. ‘47.6% yeah, I’m going to need to work on getting that to at least 50% at some point.’ He knew that he could finish upgrading it fairly quickly if he really wanted but upgrading things by a tenth of a percent at a time got old really quickly.
Cordelia frowned slightly as Dawn finished stripping Selena. ‘At least Alex isn’t drooling too much.’ She smiled slightly as the two girls started stripping Abby. ‘Not that I’d blame him if he was, damn.’ She made a mental note to talk to Alex about having sex with the twins.

Mist wasn’t sure if he should be happy that Dawn had nearly two and a half times as much mana as he did or annoyed that his plan to cheat the universe by boosting the sexual magic perk to hell and back had mostly fallen flat. Sure, it had boosted the percentage on the perk to near a hundred percent as far as he could tell but it ‘should’ have boosted the perk by thousands of times what it had. He glanced away from the movie they were watching in the lounge and over at his menu as he pushed mana into his upgrade ability and bought another .2% for his sexual magic perk. He was hoping that he could get his percent up to 50% without too much work so that Selena’s power amplification would toss it to one hundred without having to deal with the short duration overload power.
Dawn shivered slightly as she felt the mana Mist poured into his ability. “How much mana does your upgrade ability cost?”
He glanced over at Dawn who was sprawled over Selena’s lap having her mana regeneration upgraded. “It depends on what I’m upgrading. Generally the more powerful an ability the more mana it takes to upgrade. I could vaporize a city with as much mana as it takes to boost my sexual magic perk by .2%. It’s a bit annoying.”
“That seems overly expensive.”
Mist shrugged. “It’s an ability that permanently increases the capacity of a person’s mana pool via sex, it’s rather useful and thus powerful. Besides, it’s a renewable resource.”
Selena said, “Mana related abilities tend to cost a lot, boosting mana regeneration costs a lot though it pays off in the long run.”
“Having a tank that can hold oceans isn’t all that useful if you’re trying to fill it with a garden hose.” He poured more mana into his perk with his upgrade ability again and got another .2% increase for his trouble. “It’s useful, just not as useful as if you can get your regeneration up to the level of a river or the Mississippi. It’s still going to take a long ass time to fill but you have a lot more to work with. Either way, I’d still like to get the sexual mana perk up to 50% so it’s easier to double and hand out.”
Dawn grinned. “Probably for the best, that would give me more time to enjoy myself with everyone else.”
“Everyone else?” Selena asked with amusement as she ran her fingertips over Dawn’s behind.
Dawn mock pouted. “You’re not going to cut a girl off are you?”
“Of course not, I’m just teasing.”
“Good, because it’s a good excuse to finally get to fuck Cordelia.”
“Oh, do I detect a bit of a crush?” Selena asked as she pushed more mana into upgrading Dawn’s mana regeneration.
“Not really, she’s just hot and if I stick her face in my crotch she can do something useful with her tongue rather than complain.”
Mist snickered. “I’d advise against telling her that before hand.”
“I might be a mad scientist but I’m not stupid.” She wasn’t quite sure what it was about Mist, his magic, his laugh, his sparkling blue eyes or that sense that he’d move heaven and hell for her if she needed it but she felt safe with him which was more than a little crazy considering they’d just met. “I’m glad you’re here.”
“Agreed,” Selena replied as she tossed more mana into upgrading Dawn’s mana regeneration.
“When are you going to invite our alternates by for a visit?” Dawn asked curious about meeting the group’s alternates.
Mist spent another large chunk of mana to upgrade his sexual magic perk another .2% as he replied, “Probably tomorrow, that gives everyone a chance to figure out how much mana they want and who they’re going to have sex with to get it.”
Dawn snickered. “You have some of the weirdest powers I’ve ever heard of.”
“That’s what happens when you have the ability to jump through worlds and copy powers from a bunch of different worlds.”
“Buffy is still a bit freaked that you’re willing to share a bunch of powers.”
“Eh, I don’t think she really gets the fact that we’re Scoobies and consider your group family.”
“Family eh?” Dawn asked amused as Selena ran her fingers lightly up her spine.
“Eh, considering I have a daughter with the other version of you, I’d say you count as family.”
“What’s she like?”
Mist paused for a second as he considered the best way to describe Iris. “Iris, she’s a nice fun loving girl that likes to read and play dungeons and dragons when she isn’t hunting monsters in actual dungeons. Then again, most of my children like playing D&D so that’s not really a surprise.”
“Cool, do you have any spots open?” Dawn figured joining a group game was a good chance to get to know Mist and the girls better.
“I have a feeling I’m going to be starting another game if we have any free time.”
Selena snorted. “We don’t have to sleep and can pass out a perk for it, I’m sure we’ll find the time for a couple of games. Not to mention our various enhanced mastery perks and magical homework pens.”
“You have homework pens?” Dawn asked with amusement.
“Yeah, they basically write your essays for you as if you’d written them. I’d suggest reading anything they write over for spelling mistakes and such things but they certainly help. That said, I have a feeling we’ll have lots of time thanks to Tara’s duplication power as long as she lets us copy it.”
Dawn grinned as she remembered a few of the many times her and Willow had had fun with Tara’s clones together. “I’m looking forward to grabbing that ability.”
“I’m looking forward to copying your tech skills,” Selena said as she ran her fingers back down Dawn’s spine and poured more mana into upgrading Dawn’s mana regeneration.
“I’m looking forward to having an assistant and a decent lab.”
Mist asked, “Decent lab?”
“I’d rather not use the school’s lab since they have partial claim to anything we build there using the school’s resources.”
“Ah, I can see where that would be annoying. We should be able to set you up with a decent pocket dimension and stick the door in your room.”
“Can I have one?” Raven asked as she walked in from the kitchen with a glass of orange juice.
Mist turned to see the rather cute grey skinned girl that was wearing shorts and a t-shirt with the words, ‘Eldritch Abominations Make Good Pets!’ above a picture of a little girl leading some type of green cat/squid monster on a leash. “I’m sure we can work out some type of trade. I like cookies and copies of spellbooks.”
“I have a couple books I’d be willing to share.” Raven glanced at Dawn. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around Dawn’s expanded mana pool. I’m looking forward to having more mana available.”
“I just wish that it boosted their mana regeneration.”
Selena smiled as she ran her fingers over Dawn’s bottom. “At least we have upgrade.”
“I don’t suppose you’re willing to teach that particular ability?” Raven asked hopefully.
Mist shook his head. “Maybe eventually but that’s one of the abilities that we don’t generally share outside of the clan.” He wasn’t all that worried about Raven abusing the ability but he wanted to make damn sure her link to her father was gone and that her mind was completely protected before he risked giving her the ability. He also wanted her to have a better idea what the ability did so that she wouldn’t turn around and share the ability before she understood how dangerous it was.
“I can understand that. I should grab some sleep, I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day.”
“Probably, we’re trying to boost the sexual magic perk so we can max it out without worrying about the time limit, that should help everyone relax and have a good time.”
Raven blushed slightly as she thought about the orgy they’d probably end up having in the morning. “I’m sort of glad that Beast Boy isn’t in our dorm.”
“Let me guess, your version is a bit of a horndog as well?”
“More than a bit,” she agreed as she headed for the stairs. “See you in the morning.”
“I’m looking forward to it.” Mist watched the sexy witch head up the stairs then went back to work upgrading his sexual magic perk.
Dawn yawned. “She’s right about it being a long day.”
Selena smiled as she floated Dawn into the air with telekinesis. “In that case, let’s head back to our room, that way you’ll be tucked into bed when you drift off.”
“Won’t you get bored?”
“Eh, I’ll probably just listen to music while I work on upgrading your mana regeneration or work on my sexual magic perk while an avatar works on you.”
“Thanks, you’re the best,” Dawn replied sleepily as Selena floated her toward the stairs.
Mist watched Selena and Dawn as they headed up the stairs. ‘I’m going to have to thank Genie for finding the perfect Dawn.’ He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Sin’s number.
Sin answered before the second ring. “Hey Mist. Did your cunning plan that couldn’t possibly fail, fail?”
“I wouldn’t call it a failure, it just wasn’t as effective as I would have liked.”
“I’m not terribly surprised considering I couldn’t boost the sexual magic perk over 100% with upgrade.”
“Why didn’t you mention that before?” he asked with a touch of annoyance.
“Pandora was bitching about it months ago, I figured you knew. How come you haven’t boosted it to 100% yet?”
Mist shrugged. “I sort of lost interest once it started taking enough mana to level small cities for a fraction of a percent increase. Besides, I’ve been spending enough mana upgrading other things that it wasn’t really a big deal.”
“Does this mean you’re going to stop being lazy and upgrade it the rest of the way?” Sin teased.
“Yeah, I might as well considering it makes sharing the perk easier and I’ve got new companions to boost.”
“Best of luck, it eventually slows down to a complete crawl at about 80%.”
“It’s already a slog,” Mist muttered.
“Any good news?”
“Fucking Dawn while everyone watched was fun,” Mist replied with amusement.
“Aww, you’re going to have to share the memory.”
“You’ll have to ask Dawn tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?”
“Buffy and Dawn wanted to meet the rest of the crew and boost their mana pools.”
“Which is why you’re taking the time to work on upgrading the perk you should have had upgraded months ago.”
Mist rolled his eyes. “To be fair, I’m usually toggling the power down so the channelers I lend the perk to only get a fraction of my mana pool anyways so I haven’t really had a pressing need to improve the ability.” He could see where she was coming from but he’d had other things to work on and his mana pool was already rather insane and over the top.
“Uh huh. Joking aside, when do you want us to show up with the girls?”
”Let’s go with eleven, that should give everyone enough time to get breakfast and take a tour around the campus if they need to.”
“Before we descend into debauchery and insanity?” Sin asked eagerly.
“Pretty much.”
“Are you coming back tonight?”
“Probably not, I want to finish upgrading my sexual magic perk and I need to deal with a bunch of meteorites that cause my new friends to temporarily lose their powers.”
“Drawback?” Sin asked with amusement.
“Yep. Hopefully I’ll be able to teleport the knock off Kryptonite into the moon and they won’t have to worry about it.”
“Which leaves what?” Sin asked warily.
“Three evil teachers, an evil conspiracy, not being the social elite at the school and some major world shaking event that I’ll have to help deal with.”
“That sounds suspiciously like work Boss.”
“I can’t say I’m looking forward to going back to school but we should be fine.” Mist was hoping the world altering event didn’t completely destroy the world.
“I guess that gives me plenty of time to recruit more channelers for the crystal lake city I want to build in the Mire on your world.”
“That could be fun. If it makes you feel better, I’ll try to make sure our next jump is actually fun rather than just work.”
“Thanks, I’ll let the girls know about tomorrow so they can figure out what to wear.”
“Probably a good idea. I’ll see you in the morning.”
“Night.” Sin snickered as she ended the call and headed off to find everyone.
Mist focused on his slot machine power and let it fill with a cosmic stealth effect to hide his powers then the next two for a clairvoyance effect so that he could figure out if the meteorites that his friends were susceptible to had any actual use. He let his new powers charge up several seconds then ‘looked’ at the scattered meteorite fragments with his new power. He frowned slightly as he realized they were basically magical nightlights and that enough of them would let you grow plants. “That’s sort of useful, not enough to leave them lying around but enough to get scans so I can create more if I need to.”
He focused on several meteorites that had gotten buried and teleported a couple to the end table in front of him. He scanned the crystals then brought up the pattern on his HUD. ‘Glowing magical meteorites.’ He frowned slightly as he looked at the pattern that confirmed that the rocks were just glowing slightly magical rocks rather than power draining rocks of doom which he could get a power draining pattern from. “Rats.”
Mist used his second to last free slot to make a clairvoyance ability to figure out how much he needed to tweak the glowing meteorites to keep his friends safe. He let it charge up then used it as he focused on the crystals in front of him. ‘Okay, I just need to tweak things a touch and they won’t drain my friends.’ He used his last slot to grab an ability to transmute the crystals so they wouldn’t affect his new friends anymore. He waited several seconds for the ability to charge up then tweaked the crystals in front of him then checked with his clairvoyance to see if they’d bother his friends. ‘Looks safe enough.’ He smiled as he reached out with his cosmic clairvoyance to find all of the crystals then used his transmuting power to tweak all of the crystals to they wouldn’t bother his friends.
He spent a few minutes scanning the rest of the solar system then dropped the power and swapped it for a version of clairvoyance specifically designed to cut through scrying defensives and detect asshole and hostile teachers. He waited for his new power to charge up, focused on the academy then used it. He wasn’t terribly surprised to get pictures of Severus Snape, Doctor Doom, Frank Burns, Reed Richards and a couple of people he didn’t recognize. He tweaked the settings on his power to drop the asshole part of the power and just go with hostile while focusing on the teachers he’d seen that might want to hurt him and his friends. He wasn’t terribly surprised when Doctor Doom’s mask vanished along with Reed Richards though he was a bit surprised that Snape’s face vanished. ‘Huh, must just be an asshole in this world.’
He reached out with technopathy and searched the academy’s ‘public’ staff registry that students had access to. He felt his stomach lurch as he realised their P.E. teacher was General Zod. ‘Fuck. This is going to suck.’ He scanned through the rest of the list of teachers, there were a couple of possibilities but no one jumped out at him as a recognizable problem. He dug into the computer system a bit more to pull up Zod’s registered powers. ‘No real surprise.’ He mentally pulled up Frank’s list of official powers. ‘Abnormal luck, mostly related to keeping him alive and out of trouble and supernatural medical skill. Yeah, that’s annoying and weird.’
He took a breath then let it out as he considered his options, as long as they shared powers tomorrow and got everyone set up with mana shields and defensive powers, he was fairly sure he could afford to wait to deal with the teachers until he figured out which of the teachers was actually problematic. He stood up and headed for his room, might as well work on decorating a bit if he was going to be there for the next six months.

Alex glanced over at Dawn as she flopped down next to him on the couch in her birthday suit then looked back at the show Buffy and the daughter of Dawn’s alternate were putting on the stage that one of Mist’s friends had conjured for the show. “How are you feeling?”
Dawn considered the question for a couple of seconds as she watched her ‘niece’ kneel down and tongue fuck her sister. “I’m strangely okay with watching Buffy and my alternate’s daughter have fun.”
Willow smirked as she sat down next to Alex to watch the show and he twitched slightly as she surprised him with her presence. “That’s because you’re a naughty girl.” She handed Alex one of the root beers she’d grabbed.
“Thanks.” He popped the top then took a sip.
Dawn snickered. “Probably. Can you honestly tell me that you’re not looking forward to having sex with your alternate?”
“Sure,” Alex cut in as he glanced over at where Xander was having sex with Starfire on the other part of the stage, “I’m not attracted to guys.” He turned his attention back to Buffy and her alternate’s daughter.
“I meant Willow.” Dawn reached over, stole his root beer and took a drink.
Willow blushed slightly. “I would have said no before I saw her but yeah, she’s gorgeous.”
“What sort of deal did you work out with Cordelia?”
Alex shrugged. “I can look as long as I only fuck her or her look-alikes unless she’s helping.”
Willow snorted. “Pretty sure she got the better deal.”
“I’m curiously fine with the deal as it stands,” Alex replied with amusement as he ‘stole’ his root beer back from Dawn.
“Any ideas what you’re going to do with more powers?”
“Write my name on the surface of the moon,” Alex replied smugly.
“By pissing on it?” Dawn asked with amusement.
Alex smirked. “The thought had crossed my mind, yeah.”
“Boys,” Willow muttered.
“To be fair, I was thinking the same thing,” Dawn admitted.
“That’s because you’re a bit warped Dawn.”
Alex patted her knee. “Just the way we like you.”
“Thanks.” Dawn smirked as Buffy screamed in bliss and the silencing spells kicked in before she rattled the windows or shattered people’s eardrums. “Nice touch on the silencing spells.”
“Nice touch on everything really.” He was still a bit amazed that Mist’s friends had managed to turn what should have been an embarrassing perverted nightmare into a party where everyone was having fun. He smiled as he saw Eris walking over with a man in his early twenties who was wearing a pair of swimming trunks. “Who’s your friend?”
Eris gestured at the man next to her. “This is Harry, my alternate.”
“Your alternate is a boy?” Willow asked curious about the handsome looking green eyed man with Eris.
“Last I checked though I do have a female form that looks a lot like Eris,” Harry replied with amusement.
Dawn snorted. “Bullshit.”
Harry shifted into his female form. “Believe me now?”
Dawn glanced down at Harry’s rather nice b-cup breasts which were on display. “I don’t know, they could be an illusion.”
Alex laughed. “Liar.”
“They could be,” she defended herself.
Harry smirked at Dawn. “You’re welcome to feel them Dawn.”
Dawn snickered as she stood up and carefully reached out and cupped Harry’s breasts. “They feel real enough.”
Eris shook her head. “You don’t have any modesty do you?”
“Nor shame,” Alex added ‘helpfully.’
“Not particularly, I’m a guy.” Harry smirked then changed back to his normal appearance.
Dawn pouted. “Hey, I was playing with those.”
Willow snapped, “Dawn!”
“What?” Dawn asked innocently as she sat back down and patted the seat next to her. “Have a seat.”
Harry grinned as he sat down next to Dawn. “I’m sure you’ll get another chance to play with them but Mione, Hermione and Puck are up next and it should be quite the show.”
“Cool.” Dawn had been checking Mione out since she’d seen her last night, she was looking forward to seeing her fuck her alternates.
Alex asked, “How did you get involved with Mist’s group anyways?”
Harry was looking forward to swapping stories with Eris over the next several weeks/months but the middle of a party probably wasn’t the best time to explain Mist being a jumper. “He’s my brother and he isn’t, let’s just say the way he jumps worlds is a bit weird and leave it at that right now.”
Willow smiled as Hermione, Puck and Mione walked out wearing barely there silk dresses that nicely showed off their curves. “I like…” she trailed off as the girls started dancing together.
Harry smiled as he watched the show. He had a feeling things would eventually move to people’s dorms in a rotation but until then he was going to enjoy the show and the chance to get to know his friends’ alternates.

After the rather hectic weekend, the first couple of days were mostly uneventful for the group if you ignored Zod’s insane tendency to try to push students until they broke. Normally this would have been more of a problem but his assistant had the ability to heal people as good as new so no pain, no gain was considered a legitimate teaching standard by the school. None of the group were particularly amused by that stance but between their newly acquired powers and some basic safety training they’d managed to avoid any injuries though not for lack of trying on Zod’s part. Dawn’s first detention of the year had come from Zod after she’d told him to go fuck himself after he’d asked her to upgrade the force field generators on the weight room to pose a challenge for the group.
The next major challenge for the group was not killing the condescending bastard that was this world’s version of Frank Burns. Apparently he’d made a deal with some type of demon back in the war to get out of the war and for amazing medical skills. Sadly he’d ‘forgotten’ to wish for a personality upgrade. Either way, he lasted a week before Abby turned him into a toad and gave him to the Biology department. Luckily she’d gotten a scan of his amazing medical skill ability and created a minion to replace him otherwise the Academy might have been rather pissed about losing such a skilled surgeon.
Thankfully, after that things had calmed down a bit other than Dawn’s alarming and completely understandable tendency to wrack up detentions. Mist wasn’t sure if it was just her flaw screwing her over or the fact that she liked spending detention with Supergirl who was the teacher in charge of detentions. Thankfully she didn’t seem overly bothered by her flaw as the school year progressed.
The ‘grand’ conspiracy they had to deal with turned out to be a human’s first type organization that wanted to subjugate the mutants, metahumans, aliens and magic users under the not so benevolent rule of humanity or at least that was their mission statement, mostly it was just a group of wealthy control freaks that wanted to control everything and everyone. Sadly for their continued existence Mist wasn’t Charles Xavier and he didn’t have a problem using telepathy and technopathy to wreck their shit by spending a couple of hours bankrupting all of their members and teleporting the worst of their organization to a deserted world where they could work for a living growing crops or die.
Mist was just glad that Abby’s cosmic stealth ability made sure no one could track things back to the school which was important because he didn’t really want to spend more time in the jump than he had to. Of course, cosmic stealth cut both ways which was why it took the group three months before they realized who their third evil teacher was. The really annoying bit was he’d only figured things out by accident thanks to having to talk to the shop teacher about a project that had gotten damaged after he’d turned it in but before she’d graded it, on reflection that should have been his first clue. He frowned as he glanced between where Buffy was chained to an altar and the sexy as hell large breasted naked shop teacher holding a ritual dagger in one hand and a chunk of meteorite in the other. “I was expecting to find an evil teacher, I just wasn’t expecting it to be you.”
Agatha glared at Mist. “I’m not evil, I just need her body for science!”
Buffy shouted, “I’m using it!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll move your brain to a robot when I’m done.”
“You’re insane!”
Agatha turned and glared at Buffy. “I’m not insane! I just want your powers! Once I steal your powers I will rule the world!”
Mist cut in, “World? You think you can seriously rule the world with Buffy’s powers?”
Buffy pouted, “Hey, I could take over the world if I wanted.”
“Eh, for a couple of days then one of the cosmic mages on the school board would look up from their current research project, sigh then toss you into another world and close the door behind you.”
Agatha grumbled, “Nosey bastards never let anyone have their fun.”
“I don’t suppose you can get me out of here before the insane teacher stabs me?” Buffy asked hopefully.
Agatha laughed as she held up the glowing meteorite. “I have the meteorite, he’ll be just as powerless as you.”
Mist gestured toward Agatha and teleported the meteorite to his hand. “You mean this meteorite?” He smirked as he turned his magic nullification gaze on Agatha to make sure she didn’t have a decent method of escaping.
Agatha stared at Mist in disbelief. “How? I read your student files, you’re supposed to be as vulnerable to the meteorite as the rest of them, it’s why you were placed in the same dorm!”
Mist stuck the meteorite in his inventory. “Records can be hacked and I have technopathy. I suggest you surrender.”
Buffy grinned as she ripped herself free of the chains binding her. “Please don’t surrender.”
Agatha scowled as she glanced between Mist and Buffy. “No matter, I’ll just tell the dean that you attacked me. He’ll believe me, they always do.”
Buffy lashed out with her holy power.
Mist winced when Agatha screamed, twitched and hit the floor as a ghostly image of a hag was driven out of her. “That explains a couple of things.”
Agatha groaned as she tried to sit up, “Never drinking with the Jägermonsters again, ever.” She blinked as she noticed she wasn’t wearing clothes. “Where did my clothes go?”
Buffy said, “No idea, what’s the last thing you remember?”
“I was having a drink in the pub with a couple of the teachers to celebrate the end of the first semester then nothing until I woke up here.”
Mist conjured a robe then tossed it to her. “At least you only lost a couple of days.”
Agatha grabbed the robe. “Better than months.”
Mist turned away so that Agatha could put the robe on. He wasn’t that worried about Agatha attacking him from behind as he was ‘reasonably’ sure that she’d been possessed when she attacked Buffy.
Agatha stood up and pulled the robe on. “The paperwork from this is going to be a nightmare.”
Buffy smiled slightly. “Don’t worry, it’s not the first time I’ve dealt with someone that got possessed.”
“That’s something at least,” Agatha admitted.
“We’ll get things straightened out.” Mist frowned as he mentally reviewed his collection of spells for something that prevented possession on a grand scale.
