Chapter 210: Finally Back -1

"Welcome back, Luke," a happy and relieved female voice resounds in my room as soon as the portal closes.

"Oh, D.A.I.S.Y., I am so happy to hear your voice again. It feels like I haven't heard it in months," I say with a contented sigh, inhaling the familiar, comforting scent of my bedroom. "You have no idea how much I missed having you with me today," I add with a wry smile.

"I missed you too, Luke," D.A.I.S.Y. replies warmly. "And I am not the only one who did."

"Yeah, I can imagine," I mutter, glancing towards the bed. "I will meet everyone soon. I have got a lot to explain to them. And D.A.I.S.Y., remind me later to update your database. There are new people, places, and events we need to document. We will also need to reprioritize and reorganize several projects. I will walk you through everything as soon as I can."

"Understood," she responds. There is a brief pause before her curious voice fills the room again. "Luke, who is this girl? She isn't in any of my databases—present or future. Does she need security clearance?"

"Yes," I reply with a smile, gently laying Raven on the bed. "Her name is Rachel Roth, also known as Raven. I will update her information later. Looks like I will need to create a whole new database labeled 'DC' now," I say with a sigh, feeling as though my workload just doubled. Though, in reality, it's D.A.I.S.Y. who will bear the brunt of it.

"I have provided temporary security clearance for Rachel Roth, codename Raven. For permanent clearance, you will need to add her in manually, Luke," D.A.I.S.Y. says.

"Yeah, I know," I murmur quietly as I gently remove her cloak and hood with my Psychokinesis, making sure she can rest comfortably on the bed.

I gaze at the peacefully sleeping girl, a smile tugging at my lips. It still feels like a dream that she is here in front of me.

Unlike the Marvel characters I have grown up with in this world, she feels almost otherworldly—like pure fiction come to life. Her striking purple hair, her beautiful pale grey skin, and even her dark blue leotard make her seem unreal.

"I have the Goth Queen sleeping in my bed," I mutter with a soft chuckle.

Raven looks young, barely 16 or 17 years old, though her large breasts suggest otherwise. I take a step back from the bed, her innocent face and hot figure proving to be a dangerous combination for my self-control. It doesn't help that I have fantasized about her countless times in my past life. And now, here she is—in my bed, for real.

Her unconscious form tempts me—her shapely thighs, her firm butt, her breasts. But I quickly push the thoughts aside. That would be wrong. It would ruin any chance of building something real with her. Still, a small voice in my head whispers, Maybe just one touch wouldn't hurt...

"Luke, you have company," D.A.I.S.Y.'s voice jolts me out of my thoughts.

The door bursts open a second later.

"Luke, thank God!" The voice is unmistakable—it's Susan Storm, my sweet and beautiful blonde girlfriend, storming into the room.

"There is my beautiful Susie baby! Oh, I have missed you so much," I say with a wide smile, spreading my arms to greet her. But instead of an embrace, I am met with a solid punch to the chest.

"Ouch!" we both exclaim, though mine is more of a playful yelp while hers is definitely genuine—hitting my enhanced pectoral muscles after the S.S.S. 2.0 serum must have stung her more than it hurt me.

"Let me heal that for you," I say with a wry smile, gently taking her fair hand and using my Chi Healing to ease the minor pain.

"Where were you all day, Luke?" she asks, her glare softening into concern. "We were all so worried!"

"I know, and I will explain everything," I assure her. "But can I get a hug from my caring girlfriend first?"

"Come here," she says, pulling me close and wrapping her arms around my neck.

I embrace her tightly, feeling her warmth and the perfect curve of her sexy body pressed against mine.

"It feels like ages since I have held you like this," I murmur, my forehead resting against hers.

"Well It has been four long days," she whispers, gazing into my eyes. Then her gaze flickers past me to the bed. "Why were you already… uh, hard? Does this have anything to do with the girl sleeping on your bed?" Her blue eyes scrutinise my face closely.

"Agh, no," I stammer. "I have just been… pent up for too long. And, well, I got instantly hard seeing my stunning blonde girlfriend." I say a white lie as I pull her narrow waist closer.

"Alright I will believe you for now" Susan says as she kisses me on the cheek, just as I lean down to kiss her lovely pink lips, she presses a finger on mine, "I am still mad at you for vanishing for the whole day" She says with narrowed eyes.

I give her my best sad puppy-dog eyes, and she lets out a resigned sigh before leaning in to give me a small, quick peck on the lips.

The grin that spreads across my face afterward is impossible to hide.

"See? I told you he would come back safely," another familiar voice chimes in.

I look towards the door to see Barbara Morse—Bobbi—enter with her signature confident smirk.

"Bobbi had full faith nothing would happen to you," Susan teases, stepping aside.

"Not even a little worried," Bobbi says, crossing her arms.

"Thanks for the confidence, Bobbi. But won't you give me a proper welcome-back hug?" I ask, spreading my arms wide with a teasing grin.

She flashes me a beautiful smile and steps forward, wrapping her arms around me in a tight embrace. I feel the firmness of her toned muscles pressing against me, balanced by the softness of her touch. The sensation of her generous curves, particularly her big breasts pressed against my chest, doesn't go unnoticed.

I could truly feel the strength behind her hug, as Bobbi had also undergone the S.S.S. 2.0 serum, making her the second female Super Soldier.

"You are hard" Bobbi mutters quietly.

"Well can you blame me? my sexy super Bobbi" I whisper back, smirking.

"Susan's right there," she warns in a hushed tone.

I glance at Susan, who is watching the two of us intently.

"I don't think she minds," I tease.

"Luke," Bobbi sighs, loosening her grip and rolling her eyes.

I chuckle wryly. "Anyway, thank you for holding down the fort," I say with a smile.

"It was just for a day, so it wasn't a big deal," Bobbi replies, gripping my arm tightly. "But if it had been two or three days, even I might have gotten worried." Her tone softens as she looks at me earnestly. "You know we are capable of helping you now, right? You don't have to do everything alone."

"I know that, Bobbi," I say with a gentle smile before leaning down to press a kiss to her forehead. I can almost feel the flicker of disappointment radiating from my girlfriend's direction, making me smile wryly.

Bobbi, however, offers me a kind, understanding smile. "You still need to tell us what happened … and you should really talk to Skye. She was the most w—"

Before she can finish, another person strides into the room.

"Luke … you are here. You are really here," an extremely relieved and familiar female voice says. I turn to see Skye entering, her expression a mixture of exhaustion and overwhelming relief.

But she looks utterly drained—her steps are unsteady, and she leans against the wall for support, her brown eyes locks onto me. Her hands are clasped together as if in silent prayer.

"Yes, I am back, Skye. I am here," I say gently as Bobbi steps out of my embrace. Concern floods my voice as I move towards her. "But are you okay?"

"Luke," she whispers, her voice trembling. She places her palm against my chest for a moment, steadying herself, before pushing off the wall. Then, without another word, she rests her head on my hest. I feel her warm body and her big soft tits pressing against me, her breathing uneven.

"Hey, Skye, what's wrong? Why are you so exhausted?" I ask, worry evident in my tone. I gently caress her back, channeling my Chi Healing to revitalize her worn-out body. "Did you pull another all-nighter?"

A small chuckle escapes me as I continue, trying to lighten the mood. "It's really a rare event for Skye to leave her room, let alone visit mine in person."

"Skye… are you crying?" I ask in surprise.
