In Principal Darkhölme's office, Todd was full of anger and ready to cause trouble. Smirking, he started zapping furniture into the Middleverse using the same device Rogue had thrown away.
"See the desk… now you don't. See the chair… now it's gone. So, Miss Big Shot, let's see how you like my new 'clean office policy,'" he said with a laugh, enjoying the mess he was making.
As Mystique, Jean, and Ben walked toward the office, Todd made a quick escape by jumping out of the window, leaving the destruction behind.
Mystique opened the door and froze, staring at her now-empty office. Her face twisted in rage as she let out a loud scream.
Jean and Ben, curious about the noise, peeked through the window and saw Todd outside. Just as they spotted him, Todd aimed the Gizmo at Mystique's car and zapped it too.
In the Middleverse, Kurt, still trapped, narrowly dodged the falling car. For a brief moment, he appeared in the real world, just long enough for Jean and Ben to catch a glimpse, before vanishing back into the ghostly realm.
"That little freak needs a lesson," Ben growled, eyes narrowing. Without wasting a second, he bolted toward Todd, ready to stop the chaos and bring things back under control.

Meanwhile, inside the strange and ghost-like Middleverse, Kurt wandered through the misty space until he spotted someone—an unfamiliar man working on some devices.
"Who are you?" Kurt asked, stepping closer.
The man looked up, surprised to see someone else. "I'm Forge," he replied. "But… how did you get in here?"
"I'm Kurt. I don't know how I ended up here," Kurt said, confused. "And what is this place? Why do you call it the Middleverse?"
Forge stood up and gave a small sigh. "It's a long story. Back in the 1970s, I was doing a science experiment and accidentally created this place—a pocket dimension. I called it the Middleverse. But when I created it… I got stuck here."
Kurt's eyes widened. "So you've been here all this time?"
"Yeah," Forge nodded. "No way out, no one else… until now."
Kurt looked around, frustrated. "Well, we need to find a way out. I can teleport usually, but something in this place is stopping me."
Forge's eyes lit up with interest. "You're a teleporter? That might help. I've been working on a device that might let us talk to the outside world. If we can contact someone, maybe they can help pull you out—and me too."
Together, they started working on the gadget, hoping this new team-up would finally lead to their escape from the Middleverse.

Fueled by worry and frustration, Ben storms up to Todd, grabs him by the collar, and slams him to the ground.
"You ugly, stinkin' Todd! Tell me—where did you send Kurt?" Ben growls, eyes blazing with anger.
Before Todd can say a word, Rogue steps in quickly. "It wasn't his fault," she admits. "It was me. I was trying to stop Kurt from messing with the Gizmo... but I messed up. I accidentally zapped him somewhere else."
Ben narrows his eyes, calming down just a little. "Alright. Then show us what you did. Let's fix this."
Rogue nods, leading the way. Jean and Ben follow her, the three of them walking together with purpose. Even though Rogue isn't officially part of the X-Men, being in the same school and spending time with them has slowly pulled her closer to their circle.
As they walk, Rogue steals a glance at Ben. Sitting next to him earlier, she found herself drawn to him—he was strong, confident, and kind in a way she hadn't expected. She knows Jean is his girlfriend… but that only makes her want him more. A flicker of jealousy burns inside her. She wants what Jean has. She wants him.
There were also several reasons for this; one being because she could take energy from Ben whenever she touched him, but he would still be awake, unlike every other boy. She had discovered that he was her perfect match. She had found him as her soulmate.
And after seeing some memories of Ben having sex with Kitty, and Jean giving him oral sex, she too wanted to have sex with him. However, no such opportunity ever presented itself till now.
But she has gotten the opportunity once.
One evening, as Kitty is out training, Rogue finds Ben alone in the library. She approaches him, her hips swaying seductively.
"You know, Ben... I've been thinking about you," she purrs, leaning against the table he's sitting at.
Ben looks up at her, a knowing smirk on his face. "Oh yeah? And what, exactly, have you been thinking about, Rogue?"
She stood up and sat down beside Ben, her thigh pressing against his. She leans in close, her breath hot against his ear.
"You know, Ben... You're perfect for me. If I touch anyone, they will lose their consciousness, or even die. But the same thing did not happen to you," Kitty explained the reason for her liking. She puts her hand on his hands.
She leans in closer, her lips brushing against his ear. "Ben... I need you," she whispers, her voice trembling with emotion
Since Ben is a lustful guy, he nodded, his eyes darkening with desire as he took in Rogue's words.
He reaches out, his hand trembling slightly as he grasps the hem of her shirt. Slowly, he begins to unbutton it, his fingers brushing against her skin with each button he undoes.
Rogue gasps softly as Ben's fingers touch her, electricity coursing through her at the contact. She leans into his touch, her eyes fluttering closed. "Ben…" she whispers, her voice husky with need.
As the last button comes undone, Ben pushes the shirt off her shoulders, revealing her bare skin beneath. He pauses for a moment, drinking in the sight of her, before leaning in and pressing a kiss to her collarbone.
Ben's hands roam over Rogue's bare skin, his fingers tracing the curves of her breasts. He cups them gently, his thumbs brushing over her nipples, eliciting a soft moan from her lips. As he plays with her, he lifts her easily, settling her onto his lap.
Rogue wraps her arms around Ben's neck, pressing herself closer to him. She can feel his hardness through his pants, and it sends a surge of heat through her. "Ben…" she pants, grinding against him instinctively. "I want you…"
He groans, his hands tightening on her hips. He captures her lips in a fierce kiss, his tongue delving into her mouth.
While his hands slide down Rogue's sides, gripping the waistband of her panties. With a sudden tug, he tears them away, exposing her Sacred Forest to his hungry gaze.
He pauses, his breath catching in his throat as he takes in the sight of her most intimate area, never before seen by anyone else.
Rogus blushes deeply, a mix of embarrassment and arousal washing over her. She's never been so vulnerable with anyone before, never allowed anyone to see this part of her.
"Ben…" she whispers, her voice trembling. "No one's ever... seen me like this…"
Ben swallows hard, his eyes dark with desire. "You're beautiful," he murmurs, his fingers tracing the delicate folds of her sex. "Absolutely perfect…"
While Ben explores Rogue's intimate area, her hands move to his pants. She unbuttons them quickly, slipping her hand inside to grasp his dragon. She wraps her fingers around it, stroking it gently.
Ben groans loudly, his hips jerking at her touch. "Rogue…" he pants, his forehead resting against hers. "That feels so good…"
Rogue smiles, her thumb circling the tip of his dragon, spreading the bead of moisture she finds there. She continues to stroke him, her movements becoming more confident as she feels him grow even harder in her hand.
She releases Ben's dragon from his pants, allowing it to spring free. She looks at it hungrily for a moment before leaning down and flicking her tongue out to taste the tip. Ben hisses at the contact, his hands gripping her hair.
Encouraged by his reaction, Rogue opens her mouth and takes the head of his dragon between her lips. She sucks gently, her tongue swirling around the sensitive flesh.
Ben's grip on her hair tightens, his hips lifting slightly to push himself deeper into her mouth.
"Fuck, Rogue…" he groans, his head falling back against the chair. "Your mouth feels incredible…"
Rogue takes more of Ben's dragon into her mouth, her head bobbing up and down as she sucks him enthusiastically. She hollows her cheeks, creating a tight suction that has Ben's toes curling. His dragon throbs against her tongue, growing harder with each passing second.
She reaches up with one hand, grasping the base of his dragon and pumping it in time with her mouth. Her other hand cups his balls, gently massaging them as she continues to pleasure him.
Ben breathing grows ragged, his hips thrusting up to meet her movements. "Rogue... I'm gonna…" he warns, his voice strained.
Rogue pulls back slightly, her tongue flicking against the underside of Ben's dragon as she feels him nearing his climax.
She looks up at him, her eyes locked on his as she takes him back into her mouth, sucking harder and faster.
Ben body tenses, his hands gripping the arms of the chair tightly. "Rogue... I'm coming!" he shouts, his dragon pulsing as he releases into her mouth.
Rogue swallows every drop, her throat working as she drinks him down. She continues to suck gently, milking him for all he's worth until he's completely spent.
Later Rogue even plan to getting fucked by him.
She directly sat down in his lap, her eyes burning with desire. "I want the same thing Kitty has," she says, her voice low and husky. "I want you to release your dragon inside me, Sacred Forest. I want you to break through my gates and claim me as yours."
Ben nodded, his hands gripping Rogue's hips as he positioned her above him. His dragon presses against the entrance of her sacred forest, ready to claim her.
Just as he's about to push forward, the sound of footsteps echoes through the library. Rogue's eyes widen in panic, and she quickly scrambles off Ben's lap, ducking down beneath the table.
Because of this Rogue missed her chance.
———
Currently, in the lab, Jean, Rogue, and Ben carefully examine the strange Gizmo, trying to figure out how it works. After some time, they realize the truth—Kurt is trapped in a pocket dimension.
"So... he's stuck in some kind of other world?" Rogue asks, looking worried.
Ben clenches his fist. "Then let's get him out."
Just then, a flash of light fills the lab. To their surprise, Kurt suddenly appears, holding a small device.
"This is the key," He says quickly. "You need to hit the center of the Gizmo with this device—but do it from far away. And time is just right!"
Before anyone can ask more, he vanishes again—teleported back to the Middleverse.
Wasting no time, the team gets ready. Jean lifts the device with her telekinesis, steadying it in the air.
"Okay, Kurt," she murmurs. "Hope you're ready…"
At the exact moment, Kurt activates the same device from the Middleverse. A swirling portal rips open in the air. Seconds later, Kurt and another man step through it, landing safely in the lab.
Jean lowers the device, breathing a sigh of relief. She looks at the stranger beside Kurt.
"Who are you?" she asks.
The man gives a calm smile. "I'm Forge," he says. "I'm the one who accidentally created the Middleverse."
Kurt steps in beside him. "And thanks to him, I didn't go crazy there."
The team shares a moment of relief and excitement—not only is Kurt back, but they've just made a new ally.
Kurt and Forge shared stories of the strange Middleverse, their moment was cut short by an unexpected interruption. Blob, Avalanche, and Todd—members of the Brotherhood of Mutants—suddenly showed up, looking for Rogue.
Ben's eyes narrowed when he saw them. "You're with them?" he asked Rogue, confused and a little hurt.
Rogue hesitated. "Ben... I'll explain everything later. But right now, I have to go." Without another word, she turned and ran off.
The Brotherhood members, spotting Ben's intense glare, panicked and quickly ran too—they wanted to leave very, very far away from Ben, or else they would be tortured by him.
As the tension faded, Jean looked over at Forge. "You know, you could stay with us at the mansion. You'd be a great help with tech and stuff," she offered kindly.
Forge smiled. "Thanks, but I'd rather head home for now. Maybe one day."
Later, as the school day ended and everyone got ready to head back to the Xavier Mansion, Ben let out a deep breath of relief.
Jean noticed the sly smile on his face and gave him a knowing look. "I know that look," she teased softly. "You've been waiting for classes to end, haven't you?"
Ben smirked and leaned closer. "You already know why."
Jean shook her head, smiling. "Fine... but only because I'm in the mood."
The two shared a quiet laugh, the tension of the day slowly fading as they walked out together.
