Chapter 18 - 18. The Cult Of Noir

A little bit explanation about how the stream works 🦆

1. Is the stream magical in nature ?

Yes

2. Does it only appear in the feed of certain people ?

Yes

3.What if a viewer tries to show it to his friend who is a mutant hater or someone likely considered not eligible?

He/she would only see a black screen and think that the friend is messing with them.

4. Can you screenrecord the stream ?

No

5. Can you capture it with a camera ?

No

6. Are the drones visible to anyone other than Adrian ?

No

7. Can they be destroyed?

No

8. Why is that ? ( Q 1 and 7 )

Because I'm the author and my strength is Boundless I can even clap OAA's cheeks believe it or not.

9. Is Livestreaming safe for his hero work?

Yes stream sniping is impossible, if there was a stream sniper then they would be kicked out.

So genuinely there isn't a disadvantage to streaming his activities.

10. But wouldn't it be bad if he streamed killing someone ?

.... Really? Umm are you serious ?.... Why would he stream himself killing someone. If he was gonna kill someone then he would just turn off the stream or the system will do it by itself... Gala-*Cough* isn't that distracted.

11. Is Adrian forced to stream ?

No

12. Can he turn the stream off any time he wants ?

Yes , his system isn't a streamer system but a system that helps in his heroic Activity.

13. Then is there a need for him to stream ?

No there is not , he doesn't need to stream and nothing would happen to him he isn't forced to stream nor there is a penalty.

16. What about capturing someone who can watch the stream and forcing them to narrate the events ?

They would lose access to the stream making them unqualified for a while.

17. It feels too convenient!

So ? It's not that deep...

18. B-But .... I still feel streaming is idiotic !

Then I can't do anything 🦆

Hope this simplified version makes it easy for you guys to understand. i think I didn't miss anything if there was anything else then mention I'll explain it in next chapter.

Chapter Title - The Cult Of Noir 

.....

*Rogue POV*

I think there is something wrong with me… No, there is definitely something wrong with me.

If there wasn't anything wrong with me then I wouldn't be out here crying and touching myself at the same time.

I-I … I think I am a bit weird….

...

*Kitty POV" 

"Heh~ Isn't My Lord Noir Glorious? " I felt a bit smug , like a child showing off her perfect grades to her parents.

In this case I was showing off my Idol to my friends.

" Kare wa hontoni Kakkoi! (He was really cool!) I thought he was one of those cold and broody types but when he comforted that little girl he was so gentle and kind… " S-She's just like me! Yukio! Let's get married! 

[ Image ] 

I nodded my head as I wiped an imaginary tear from my eyes while I heard Yukio excitedly drone on about my Lord.

Eh? Yukio are you blushing?....Is this a crush I see ?.. Are you also starting see the greatness of my Lord ? 

'It's only to be expected… Muhuahahahahahaha!... *Cough!* I mean Ohoho~ '

" Kitty… I admit he is cool and yes he seems like a good person… but you don't have to worship him you know… I would feel more relieved knowing you are just messing around… You are aren't you ? " Oh Please~ says the girl who dated the limp dicked wannabe cool guy… He wishes he could be as cool and big dic- *Cough* awesome as my Lord.

"Of course not ~ I'm just messing around, I just think he is a good person and seeing one of our kind use his powers for good like this makes me admire him a bit , that's all " Of course I'm not going to out myself like that… that's an amateur mistake.

The best thing about being in a cult is that you never know you are in a cult… 

Ohhhh .. It's so hard to control the impulse to cackle… My God how do these villains control themselves? 

"That's relieving to hear , for a second I thought you were going to become like one of those brainless K pop fans.." Oh Jeannie~ You have no idea~

" Oh come on~ Who do you think I am~ " I rolled my eyes while acting nonchalant… I never knew I was such a good actor… Tsk Tsk Lord Noir really does bring out the best in me~ 

….

"He is allright… " What the heck is with that Tsun Tsun response Mon-chan~ 

[ Image ] 

"So you like him too?" I asked with a smile wanting to hear more of her Tsun Tsun response.

"Huh! Absolutely not! Unlike you children I'm not impressed by a brooding Vigilante who has a soft side and has an average looking face!" That's a whole lot of words for an unimpressed person.

I never pegged you for a dishonest person Monet… Tsk Tsk , where is the snarkiness? The pride ? The arrogance ?

"Uh huh~ " Don't think I didn't notice the way you were gazing at my Lord while he had his mask off~ ( face mask underneath) 

That cute flush you had on your cheeks , I really thought you were swapped with somebody else.

So you aren't fooling anyone sistah~ 

…..

" He was so damn awesome! Bam! Boom! It felt like I was watching a fight straight out of a video game! Makes me want to go out and fight crime on my own! " Oh~ Jubilee , my extroverted little friend… it seems like I have managed to hook you.

The bait has been successfull… and Kitty Hunter is a pleased woman~ 

…..

" He was so brave and strong ya know… I felt like my heart was racing when I saw him be so gentle…he felt so genuine.." Oh darling… my sweet silly Paige … you said the last two parts out loud. 

I could feel the silence in the room as everyone was staring at Paige with interest and I started a mental countdown for when this silly girl would realise what she said.

"Oh my god! She is crushing so hard! Kawaiii! " Yukio was the first one to break the awkward silence as she hugged a bewildered Paige as she squealed in excitement.

" He is pretty cool , so it's understandable.." Jubilee added her two cents and I was a bit surprised that Jubilee said something smart.

"It's cute~ " Jean proceeded to hug a very much mortified Paige from the other side.

I would be mortified too, if I was in her place …

" W-Wait! I-I don't like him like that! I just… I think he's amazing, that's all!" Paige why are you so adorable, and you don't sound that convincing when you are blushing like a school girl.

Ah~… Young love… such a wonderful thing~....

Way better than whatever Rogue is doing in her room….

…..

Next day….

…..

*Illyana POV*

"This should be enough right? " I gazed at my reflection in the mirror as a shy blonde girl stared back at me.

Ugh! What the hell was I being so embarrassed about! 

I was just going to pay a visit to my boyfriend ( ex ) , nothing that I haven't done before… It's just that I haven't seen him in a while and the last time we saw each other we ended it in a fight.

But it wasn't anything new , we fought before and made up in a few days but this time it was taking longer and I was just going to pay him a visit and I'll apologise and fix things… and maybe I'll just make it up to him… like all those times. 

Adrian has always been kind and gentle , he would surely understand….

….

"This outfit feels too revealing" I gazed at my exposed mid riff and cleavage and a major portion of my toned legs and thighs. 

"Ugh" I scratched my head in frustration as I went over to my closet to change into something better.

Even my underwear needed to be changed.

I stripped down until I was left in my Black lace bra and thong that left little to the imagination.

If Adrian stripped me down… which would surely happen, then he would get a nice surprise with my tempting and naughty underwear.

But I wanted to be more …. proper… so this also needed to go….

…..

'I hope he likes it' I gazed at myself in the mirror as my body was clad in pure white lace lingerie , as this one was a bit more modest than the last one , giving off a pure and innocent vibe.

It even had a cute little lace bow on the panties and bra… 

I felt like I had to wipe off my make up too , which wasn't much since I only had a dark shade lip stick and a dark eyeliner.

Hair , clothes , earrings , everything had to change…..

...

" This should do it right ? " I couldn't help but ask myself as I stared at myself in the mirror as the person I was staring at was a different person than the one I was used to.

[ Image ] 

I did my hair in a side braid with a white ribbon at the end to enhance the cuteness. 

and it looked better than I imagined. 

It seems Binging those hair tutorials on Youtube wasn't a waste.

Those earrings do look good on me , he did say they would… but I didn't wear them until now.. but no better time than the present right? ….

…..

This dress… I don't like it … not in the slightest.

It's too frilly … too white … too … proper… but … it doesn't look half bad.

….

I gazed at my lips as a light shade of rose covered them , it was subtle .. but it was there.

And this was different from the darker shades I am used to… Now that I think about it… I was a bit edgy wasn't I… 

I should try to be more understanding and less temperamental… If I'm moody all the time , I fear Adrian will leave me or get tired of me.

I don't want that… I don't know what I'll do if that happens…

So I'll try to be more understanding, less jealous and not argue with him on anything. 

Even if I don't like any of his friends… I'll be polite to those hussies… even if I'm wary of them and wish that they would leave my boyfriend alone.

I don't trust that Miles guy either… I feel like he is after my Adrian too… 

…

…

…

I think I'm a bit too paranoid… but it's just because I love him so damn much!…

And I'll make things right…. Even if I have to beg on my knees.

I may be the Queen of Limbo, but even that is worthless if I don't have him…

….

*3rd Person*

Just like Illyana another Blonde was also planning to give her childhood friend a visit… as she felt like she hadn't seen him in a while.

Which was understandable since he was busy with many things… She had her secrets and he had his too.

But she felt maybe she should come clean with him… and it would help make their relationship closer… and considering the fact that he was still a bit down from the previous break up , who better to heal him than his gentle and beautiful childhood friend.

That's what friends are for right ? 

...

X mansion…

….

"Whoa! Who is that pretty girl?" Kitty asked with wonder as she gawked at a blonde haired girl who was walking past everyone with a flushed face while she was drawing eyes left and right.

Kitty's gaze collided with the blonde as the blonde awkwardly smiled at her and continued on her way.

Leaving behind a confused Kitty as she felt she had seen this person before but couldn't nail it down.

" That's Illyana…" Jean chimed in from beside her as she too was as surprised as Kitty.

" No way right… that can't be our Illyana! Our Illyana is a grumpy and edgy and overall angsty girl… She can't be this gentle and pure and whatever the heck we just saw now… " Kitty was filled with disbelief as Illyana appeared like a gentle and soft spoken girl , like a Disney Princess, the kind that would make the birds chirp and the animals dance with her voice.

"Believe me , I am as surprised as you are… but the fact of the matter is… Illyana is…different.." Jean said with wonder as she had never seen Illyana smile like that.

"But she was blushing… " Kitty felt like she was dreaming.

"Maybe… she is going to meet that mystery boyfriend of hers? " Rogue chimed in as everything seemed to click.

" I just hope he's a good person… I don't want her to be sad , she seems so happy now…" Jean said in concern, making the others roll their eyes.

" Oh~ come on mother hen , she is not a child~ " Monet said with a scoff making Jean shaked her head in exasperation.

" What can someone like you who hasn't even been in a single relationship understand…" Jeanne said helplessly, making the rest of them gasp and Monet dumbfounded.

"Uff burn…" Kitty muttered as she rubbed Monet's shoulder as the girl in question smacked her hand away with an embarrassed flush on her face as she scowled.

" Ahem! I didn't mean it like that…" Jeanne wrapped her arm around a pouting Monet with an awkward smile on her face.

"Hmph! What's so great about being in a relationship anyways , no one can meet my standards anyways …" Monet muttered with dissatisfaction. 

"Of course Monet-chan is the greatest!" Yukio hugged Monet's arm as she tried to gas up the brunette and it worked as an embarrassed smile formed on her face.

"Hmph O-Ofcourse I am…" Monet replied in her iconic Tsundere manner.

Rogue was the only one who gazed at the direction Illyana disappeared into with a thoughtful gaze as she lightly grasped the edge of her skirt….

…..

[ Yukio ] 

[ Monet St. Croix ( M ) ] 

[ Jean Grey ] 

[ Paige Guthrie ] ( Husk ) 

Illyana is a Hell lord , and when she is in her Dark Child form and in limbo she is supposed to be on the level of Dormamu. 

So … if she goes berserk… then Adrian is very much cooked…

…..

Also Jean is single… hehe 🦆
