Issue #18

Rogue kept getting phone calls and texts and that was how she noticed that it was already 4 pm. Looking at the time, they realized how much had passed and the duo was surprised.

Rogue had missed the last 3 classes of the day so it was Scott and Ororo trying to get in contact with her.

"Shit! Ro's gonna kill me!" Rogue flew out the window to get to the headmaster's office as fast as she could to plead for mercy from Ororo. Jack decided to help out and reached out to Ororo telepathically.

{Your highness} Jack greeted Ororo as soon as he connected with her mind

{Jack? I told you and Emma not to call me that. I think that the two people who are trying to get married on a beautiful spring day would know better than to piss off the woman who literally controls the weather} Ororo complained

Ever since Jack and Emma had found out that Ororo had been (forcibly) engaged to T'challa, the King of Wakanda, up until a few days prior, they had been calling her 'your highness' every time they spoke to her since they knew that it bothered her a little.

Jack immediately got to the point when he realized that Ororo was right.

{Right. You can do that. Anyway, I was just calling to say that it was my fault that Rogue missed her last few classes so can you and Scott go easy on her?}

Hearing that Jack was taking responsibility for Rogue, Ororo smirked to herself

{Oh! ;) So it seems like you have sunk your claws in yet another woman. First was the Avengers, then Emma and Wanda, and now Rogue. I wonder who else you have in your sights.} Jack could hear the mirth in Ororo's mind. It was obvious that she was enjoying the situation

{*cough cough* Um none in mind at the moment. I already have 2 women and 6 children at the moment. Any more and I won't know what to do with myself.}

{Pity. I was hoping for a little more chaos around here.} Ororo accidentally let her real thoughts leak out. Realizing this, she hurried to change the subject. {Anyway, I will keep in mind that you are at fault and ask Scott what he wants to do about it.}

{Thanks, Ororo} Jack said before cutting off his connection

After making sure that Rogue would be good, Jack focused on his computer and began to do some more work for Frost International. There was not much else he could do since it was his squad's night off, Emma was at another banquet, Rachel and Stella were off on a date, and the 5 were having a girls' night.

Jack had just finished acquiring evidence for the 7th employee of the company that was embezzling funds when his phone began to vibrate. Looking down, Jack thought it was Emma requesting him to pick her up but he saw the time and realized that the banquet wasn't even halfway through yet.

He then looked at the name of the person that text him and was surprised it was Susan.

[Jack. I could use a drinking buddy tonight. Care to help me out?]

Jack was surprised that Sue was asking him out for a drink. She rarely drank and when she did, it was with her lady friends since she did not want to cause any more friction with Reed.

[Sure. Time and place?]

[616. Meet me there in an hour.]

Jack was even more surprised when Sue said she wanted to meet at 616. It wasn't a bar like he had expected her to invite him to but was a nightclub and one of the best in the city. He was also the owner of said club.

[Sure. I'll get us a section. Is anyone else coming?]

[Nope. And you're not allowed to bring anyone either.]

Jack thought that Sue was acting very out of character but still decided it was better to check on her in person. She would most likely cut him off if he pried too much over the phone.

So after letting Emma know he was going out to meet Sue, Jack went to his room and put on a blazer to turn his casual teacher attire into some stylish club attire.

Jack decided to teleport to his old penthouse in the city where he had a garage full of cars. He decided to drive his Overflod Tyrant. This was a massive car that pushed the limits of what was legally allowed on the road. It also cost Jack nearly 3 million when he bought it but he thought it was worth every penny.

Jack hopped into his car and began driving it through the streets of Manhattan. The car was loud and large which grabbed the attention of almost everyone that Jack drove by until he arrived outside of 616.

When he arrived at the club, many of those waiting in line began paying attention to the car.

"Shit. That's a Tyrant. Those cost 2.5 mil."

"Don't be stupid. That's a custom Tyrant. It looks like they might have spent around 3 million for all the upgrades they have for it."

"Wow. I wonder who can afford that car."

"Doesn't matter. He is definitely compensating for something."

"True. But I am still curious about the driver."

As if to answer their question, the door of the car opened as Jack stepped out. His looks immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, even more than his car.

Most people would have thought that the owner of the car was compensating for looks or something when they first saw the car but after seeing Jack step out, that thought vanished from all of their minds.

Several of the employees recognized Jack as the owner and were about to rush up to him to grab his keys and lead him inside but before they got too close, Jack held his hand up. He was waiting on his companion for the evening and didn't want her to feel like she had arrived late since he got there so fast.

So for the next 30 minutes, Jack stood outside of the Tyrant many of those waiting in line were forced to watch Jack just stand there. Many were curious about who his companion was.

Soon a taxi pulled up next to Jack and the door opened. Jack was stunned when he saw Sue but still made sure to hold out his hand so that she could step out. When Sue got out of the car, all the men were stunned as well. Sue was wearing a blue micro dress that hugged her body perfectly.

"Did you wait long?" Sue asked
