The next morning, Erik woke up, once again tangled in a warm pile with Wanda, Cindy, and Helen. He looked at their peaceful, sleeping faces and let out a soft sigh, a mix of amusement and satisfaction.
'Last night was... intense,' he thought, his gaze shifting between Wanda, Cindy, and Helen. The events of the night played in his mind like a vivid reel. 'For how many hours did we go? I stopped counting after the 7th hour...' He exhaled a soft laugh through his nose.
His gaze drifted to Cindy's ass, still glowing faintly red from the spankings he'd delivered during their relentless fucking. He traced a finger lightly over one of the bruises, eliciting a faint whimper from her in her sleep.
'Cindy wasn't kidding when she said she'd devour me whole,' he mused. 'After Wanda and Helen passed out, she still kept going. Five hours... raw intense sex, just the two of us.'
Erik chuckled softly, the memory bringing a mix of amusement and awe. 'These girls... they pulled me back from the edge last night. Their love for me relieved me of all the stress, all the weight of what I've learned about myself... they helped me let it all go.'
His eyes shifted to the ceiling as his thoughts grew serious. 'But I can't ignore it anymore. I know what I need to do.'
Resolving himself, Erik gently shook the girls awake. "Time to get up," he said softly.
Wanda was the first to stir, her eyes barely cracking open as she let out a long yawn and stretched. She shifted beside him and sat up, her cheek nuzzling into the crook of his neck. "Mmm…" she murmured, her voice thick with sleep. "Five more minutes…" She said snaking her arm around his neck.
Helen hummed softly, still half-asleep, her arms wrapping around his waist. She rested her cheek against his chest for a moment before lifting her head to smile at him, her eyes warm and content.
Cindy was last, her body shifting against the sheets as she let out a low whine. One eye opened, and a playful, drowsy grin spread across her face.
"Morning, deviant," she teased, her voice still husky with sleep. She wiggled her legs under the blanket and winced slightly, giggling as she muttered, "God, my legs are killing me... but worth it."
She reached out to trace a finger along Erik's crotch, her grin turning mischievous. "Want a little morning treat? I could—"
Erik cut her off by brushing his hand through her hair, his touch gentle. Cindy giggled at the gesture, leaning into his hand like a satisfied cat, but her amusement faded as she noticed the shift in his expression.
Erik's smile dimmed slightly, replaced by a look of quiet determination. "I need to talk to you all," he said, his tone more serious.
His gaze moved from Wanda to Helen and then to Cindy, ensuring they understood the weight of his words. "There's something important you need to know."
The playful mood in the room faded as the three women exchanged glances. Wanda sat up straighter, her expression sharpening. Helen tilted her head, concern flickering in her eyes, while Cindy's teasing demeanor softened.
"What is it, Erik?" Wanda asked, her voice calm but alert.
Helen propped herself higher, her brow furrowing. "Is this about last night? Are we pregn—?"
"No, no," Erik interrupted quickly, his tone softening. "I have abilities that allow me to control that aspect of my semen. And last night was… incredible. But there's something I need to tell you all. Something I only recently found out myself."
The room grew quiet, the playful energy dissipating as the women focused entirely on him. Wanda's hand rested on his chest, her touch grounding. Cindy sat up fully now, her usual mischief replaced by concern. Even Helen seemed tense.
Erik took a deep breath, his gaze flickering between them. "It's about who I am. Or… who I was. There are things I've remembered—pieces of my past that I didn't even know were missing."
Wanda's fingers tightened slightly on his chest. "What do you mean?"
Erik took a steadying breath and continued, his voice calm but earnest. "Remember when I was trapped in that old, wrinkled body? Well, I finally understand how my soul ended up there. Just like Cindy, I'm not originally from this universe. My past... it's tied to Ego's Parasite's animosity towards me."
Cindy tilted her head, her expression thoughtful. "Ah, now it makes sense," she said. "When that mantis girl told us the parasite hates someone who isn't supposed to exist in this universe. At the time, I thought she was talking about me, since I'm also from another universe."
The three women exchanged glances, surprised but not overwhelmed. After all, they had seen stranger things since meeting Erik—gods, aliens, talking animals, sentient planets. This was just another layer to his already incredible story.
Wanda's expression softened as she tightened her grip on Erik's hands. "It doesn't matter who you were or where you came from. We're with you."
Helen nodded in agreement. "I'd like to hear more about your story, though. It sounds... fascinating."
Cindy grinned, her playful demeanor returning. "Yeah, spill it. But before you do, no secret ex-girlfriends we're gonna have to deal with, right?"
Erik chuckled, shaking his head. "No secret exes. If anything, you three are my first real experience with love. My old lives didn't leave much room for... well, relationships. I was too focused on something else."
He paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts. 'If I'm going to tell them about my past, I have to do it carefully. They've seen glimpses of my original world, especially Wanda, but they need to understand why I'm trying to revive my mother... without diving too deep into the reincarnation part.'
Finally, Erik began to share his story. "I have a special power," he explained. "When my body is destroyed, my soul can find a new one to inhabit, standard reincarnation, but I also keep my memories and powers as well. That's why, when I died in my previous body, I returned in this one that Helen and I had engineered."
Wanda's eyes widened in realization. "So that's how it happened! You've... done this before?"
Erik nodded. "Yes. Three times, to be exact. My first life was as a normal human, nothing extraordinary. The last thing I remember from that life was drinking and falling asleep. Then there was another life—one I had completely forgotten until recently. It was in a different world, a world of magic. Then in that alien's body and finally this new body."
"It'll be simpler if I just show you," he said softly.
He closed his eyes, activating his telepathic ability—the one he gained after integrating Emma Frost's DNA into his new body.
Wanda, Helen, and Cindy felt a gentle pull in their minds, and then, all at once, they were no longer in the bedroom.
After a while, they all opened their eyes. In just a second, he showed them a short summary of his life... lives?
Helen's eyes brimmed with tears as Erik finished his story. Unable to hold back, she burst into sobs and hugged him tightly, her face buried in his chest.
"It was so sad," she whimpered. "You've suffered so much, Erik." Her shoulders shook as she clung to him, her voice filled with compassion.
Wanda, with tears glistening in her eyes, moved closer and wrapped her arms around Erik as well, resting her head against his shoulder.
Even Cindy, usually the playful one, felt her chest tighten with emotion. She blinked back tears, sniffled, and then quietly embraced Erik's waist.
All three women held him as if trying to shield him from the pain of his past.
They stayed like that for a while, a cocoon of shared warmth and comfort.
Eventually, Cindy pulled back, wiping her eyes and looking at him with a mix of curiosity and hope. "So," she asked softly, "can your resurrection power bring her back?"
Erik shook his head, regret heavy in his voice. "Not as it is now. The power can bring people back, but only as slaves bound to me. I could never do that to her. I need to improve it, to make it something more... something that honors her."
Helen placed her hand over his, her face set with determination. "We'll help you, Erik. Whatever it takes."
Erik gave her a grateful nod, then turned to Wanda. "Once I do, we can revive your parents too."
Wanda's breath hitched, and she looked at him with gratitude shining in her teary eyes. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion, "Could you do the same for Cindy's family as well?"
Erik gently caressed Cindy's hair, his expression soft but pained. "Without their bodies, it's unlikely... but we'll find other ways. Gathering the Infinity Stones could be an option."
Cindy quickly shook her head, her voice firm. "No, not the Infinity Stones. You'd have to sacrifice someone you love for the Soul Stone. I don't want that."
Erik smiled at her resolve, his hand brushing her cheek. "Okay, no Infinity Stones. We'll find another way."
The group eventually separated, sharing a warm shower together to wash away the heaviness of the moment. Breakfast was a quiet but comforting affair, with the four exchanging soft smiles and supportive touches.
After they finished eating, Erik stood, "I'm going out for a while to test some of my new abilities. I'll be back soon."
