Fusion Earth

Jean felt the newcomer's eyes on her and her gaze popped back to him, a smile curving her lips. She was far from being full of herself. Scott and Logan were constantly fighting over her, and frankly it was exhausting. She tended to stay quiet until she was needed for one thing or another. She knew her powers were strong, but she rarely took advantage of them.

Suddenly, the robot was moving, standing up. Jean stumbled a little, looking up at the huge bulk of the robot with an indignant frown. He really ought to warn people before doing that. She had a thought to touch his mind and tell him so, but she refrained, bringing her eyes back to the men in front of her.

Her eyes widened when Thor finally announced his name. Of course, she had heard of him before, but only in legends. To see the man- no god- himself was awe-inspiring. The mutant woman waited for Superman to finish speaking, requesting Thor to aid them in whatever fight might come… with whomever it was had decided to mesh the earths of several universes together.

Finally, Jean stepped forward. When she spoke, her voice was calm and even, quiet, but not without confidence. "I am Jean Grey," she said, introducing herself to those gathered. "As… Batman," she said the name awkwardly, glancing at him for a moment before looking back to Superman and Thor. "-mentioned earlier, I am a mutant. I am telepathic and have telekinetic powers. I have touched none of your minds, as I typically wait for permission before doing such a thing to-- allies." She glanced between the three men, then up at the robot as well. "My powers are fairly strong, and I would like to do whatever I can to aid you all in whatever fight may come. If you will have me."

Omega Supreme had sensed that his new found comrades possessed much honor and fortitude, qualities such as courage, bravery and honor were the core of Autobot society.

These were the elements which the Autobots admired most in other beings as well.

Omega stayed in his current position, sensing that his frequent movements were a bit much for some of the others to deal with at times. His prestigious size often elicited immediate judgments as to his potentially dangerous nature, to the more acquainted however Omega Supreme was a big softy.

Omega spoke up and offered his services and support.

"Identification: Omega Supreme..... Loyalty and Dedication: Unwavering...... Trust and Dependability: Absolute."

Thor regarded Superman and his outstretched hand for a moment and then took it with his own hand and shook it firmly, he did not know how long their alliance would last but for now he would welcome their aid. He released the other man's hand and then inclined his head at the others.
"Well met Batman, Jean Grey and Omega Supreme. Your aid will be most welcome in the battle to restore the realms to as they should be. But I cannot help but feel that we alone will not be enough, for I have no doubt that as there is more good now in this realm there will be evil to balance it. Do you know others that could aid us?"

He looked around the city as his mind thought on others he could call on, he did not know where he would find them but he knew without doubt that his comrades in the Avengers would aid them in their struggle. He could only hope that Stark, Captain America, Natasha, Clint and Dr Banner would be easy to find in this strange new realm.

"I know of others that I can call upon to aid us if I can but find them." His face clouded for a moment as he thought on Jane his mortal lover, though he had searched for her in New Mexico and other places he had not been able to find her. "I would also ask aid of you, perhaps I should not given how early our alliance is but I have need. I have been unable to find someone who means a great deal to me, a woman called Jane Foster. Do you know of someone who would be able to assist me?"

Thor tried to keep his face impassive but he was not entirely successful, some of the longing to see her again and the fear for her safety was evident in his expressive blue eyes.

Clark smiled, proud to call the Asgardian an ally and proud that he saw he and Batman the same way. Despite the considerable strength of the force group assembled here Thor was right about one thing. If Bruce's calculations were right, and they always were, they'd need more a lot more help if they were going to put an end to this invasion. Thor went so far as to mention that he might know of a few friends who could help. No doubt other heroes form his world Clark had a few friends in mind as well. It was then that Thor asked for help in finding a woman named Jane Foster.

"I'm sorry Thor, I've never heard of her but we can help you look for-"

Superman's words were cut off as a familiar voice began broadcasting into his ear.

"Watchtower to Superman."

Superman put a finger to his ear to communicate with his his martian friend.

"Go ahead J'onn."

"Diana sent out a distress signal. A large force of those mechanized extraterrestrials have touched down on Themyscira."

Superman nodded and turned to Bruce.

"Batman and I are en route... and we're bringing some back up."

Superman rose a few feet into the air, ready to rocket off into the sky and to Wonder Woman's aid but paused to address the others as Batman tapped a few commands on his gauntlet calling the Bat-Jet to his current location.

"We've got trouble. Decpticons have attacked the island of Themyscira, home of the Amazons and a friend of ours. We need to stop them. You all said you wanted to help, now's the chance."

Superman paused just a moment longer to turn to the son of Odin.

"And Thor... I promise once this is done I'll help you find Jane myself. You have my word."

With that Superman raced off into the sky and towards the island home of the Amazons with the Dark Knight close behind in his Bat-Jet.

Thor watched as Superman cut off mid sentence and he wondered for a moment what was wrong but then he realised that the man was communicating with someone else, via an electronic device no doubt. Thor hoped they would not expect him to use one as his familiarity with Midgard technology was still somewhat lacking but also he doubted it would stand up the lightning he wielded. He watched Superman rise into the sky but then hesitate and look towards Thor.

"And Thor... I promise once this is done I'll help you find Jane myself. You have my word."

Strangely for a man he had only just met he found himself believing Superman and felt oddly honoured that he would aid him in finding Jane. He watched him fly off and the batman follow in his strange flying device. He then looked towards the woman called Jean.

"Jean Grey, do you need assistance to travel there? I am more than willing to aid you if that is so." He waited for her response trying not to show the impatience to follow the others into the sky.

"There are plenty of other mutants that will help us," Jean offered. She was about to speak up about the friend Thor asked about, when Superman cut off apparently speaking with someone through his earpiece. He spoke up quickly enough to share with them what was going on. Though, Jean had no idea what a "decpticon" was.

She frowned a little as she watched first Superman, then Batman take off in their own different fashions. Typical men, just fly off into a fight and leave the others behind. Because clearly, she and the other two would know exactly what he was talking about, right?

Jean let out a sigh, wondering how she was supposed to get to this island Superman had spoke of, when Thor spoke to her. "Ah, that would be very kind of you, actually," she answered with a smile. She stepped up to him, unsure and nervous about just flying through the air with another person. That was definitely something she had never done before.

Omega Supreme was watching over the proceedings when Superman suddenly became distracted, Omega could sense the discharge of the communication device being activated as the man with the bright costume began to converse with the second party. Omega had his massive head turned away from the little gathering of future teammates, the world around him had momentarily distracted the giant robot.

Suddenly Superman spoke a word which Omega had not heard another being speak in millennia, save for the one instance minutes ago when explaining his own origins. The whirl of his turret-head turned toward the others as Omega shouted.

"DECEPTICONS!"

Along with the pronunciation came a mighty blow to the building to the giant machine's right, he had reflexively struck the building, sending the partially destroyed edifice crumbling to the ground. Once the initial anger and surprise at hearing that word was gone Omega Supreme stepped forward, with Superman continuing with his conversation, although much of what Superman was saying rang unfamiliar to him.

He had spoke of an island called Themyscira, home of people apparently known as Amazons, neither of these references had any meaning to him. There were none of these Amazons on his Earth.

He had also heard Superman promise to Thor that he would assist him in finding the individual that he had mentioned by name; strangely Omega was himself offered no such guarantee of assistance in locating the enormously powerful being that he had mentioned prior to the blond man's arrival. A misstep which could prove detrimental to Superman's well being, at some latter date.

Omega could also sensed the dark haired woman's apprehension, she had spoken her concern about flying into the atmosphere devoid of any form of shielding from the harsh conditions of extreme speeds and velocities. Even though Omega had considered the blond beings unusual physical attributes, he was similarly aware of the general anatomical structure of human beings.

Omega thought the female human might desire to travel in a more traditional manner, and so he offered his own services.

"Amendment: If it is preferable, the female human may board and travel within me.... A Consideration: I know not the location of the island which the colorfully capped man had mentioned. If Miss Jean Gray possesses such knowledge then our association in this matter would be most congenial."

Omega's suggestion was a practical one, though he did have an interest in this particular super-being.

Thor hesitated when he heard Omega Supreme speak in his deep robotic voice, he was unsure how the robot intended to carry the woman, though he supposed he could carry her in one hand and she would be completely safe given the robot's size. Thor glanced up at where he could just see Batman's vehicle disappearing into the distance. He was sure if they left now they would be able to follow it to their destination though he felt a surge of irritation that the mortals of this world had asked ffor their aid yet not seen fit to lead them where they were most needed. But he would take that up with them once the people on this island, Themyscira?, were safe and these invaders were dealt with.

He looked towards Jean Grey. "If you are amenable then perhaps travelling with Omega Supreme would be more comfortable."

He then looked at the enormous robot. "If we leave now we can follow the Batman to this island they are travelling to. But only as long as we leave now, I am fast but if I cannot see him I will have no idea which direction to travel in as in my world this Island does not exist."

With those words he spun Mjolnir rapidly, so fast the hammer blurred in his hand, and begun to rise into the air. He then glanced at Jean Grey clearly waiting for her agreement.

Omega Supreme stepped forward, causing the already unsteady ground to buckle even more.

"Observation: Understood... Transformation: Required, Immediate." With that the giant metal man revealed to Thor a most amazing sight, the likes of which he had never experienced before.

Omega had already chosen to remain in his robotic form upon first landing; forgoing the further changes of his body structure that would produce his enormous patrol tank, gantry and several hundred feet of track. This allowed for a less involved transformation into rocket mode, by bypassing the additional components Omega Supreme is able to increase the size of his rocket while in that mode.

(OOC: Omega can choose not to transform into his full non robotic form, this is the only way I can solve the problem of what happens to the rest of him when he becomes the rocket, as within the series, those parts seem to magically appear in the new location)


What would normally have potential to become a 5o foot rocket (estimation) suddenly became an immense tower, as the whole of Omega Suprem's body was transformed into a rocket which would achieve the incredible height of nearly 200 feet; enough to transport several Autobots the side of Optimus Prime-Or half a dozen Autobots of smaller size. (estimation)

Omega's arms had detach themselves and were raised into the air by several well placed mini-jets which keep the sections aloft while the rest of his body transformed. Omega's head sank into his chest. His large shoulder mounts rotated and then slid up the bulky torso along their grooves, coming together at the top, as Omega's legs came together to further elongate the midsection.

The long tracks attached to the back dislodged and separated into several shorter pieces, these slats were magnetically charged, drawn toward the body to attached themselves to form the smooth outer shell of the rocket's middle section. The already massive form would lift itself into the air as Omega's arms attached themselves to each end of the midsection, completing the transformation.

Once the rocket was back on solid ground the woman was free to enter.

Jean gazed up at the sky, watching as Batman's vehicle got smaller and smaller. "I can touch his mind if we lose him. If just to get an idea of where we're going. But- oh!" She gasped as she tilted her head up to watch Omega transform. It was an incredible sight. And how could she resist going along with the robot, after he'd changed specifically for her?

Jean turned to Thor with a smile. "I suppose I'm going with Omega Supreme. Go. we will follow." She turned and jogged up to the robot, her red hair fanning out behind her like a flame. She quickly stepped inside and opened her mouth to call out to him. She was entirely unsure of how to speak to such a being when standing inside it. She frowned a little, but called out anyway. "I am ready!"

Then, after a moment's thought, she couldn't resist the temptation. "May I… touch your mind?" she asked. What would it be like inside the mind of a living robot? Jean could only imagine. She wondered if he spoke so formally, so electronically within his mind. Did these… Autobots as he had called himself have emotions? Did they feel pain? The scholar in Jean could barely contain her excitement.

Jean thought it an odd experience to enter a living beings body, even if that conscious being were robotic in nature. Omega himself had never forgotten the feeling of an organic being entering his interior, with Autobots and other robotic beings there was a considerable difference in weight before and after they had loaded themselves into him, with a single human however the additional weight was nearly undetectable.

She signaled her entrance, to which Omega quickly replied, coming out to her senses as a disembodied voice which echoed throughout the metal cavity. After entering Jean had asked Omega if she could join his mind, Omega immediately consented, interestingly this was not be the only time someone had requested it.

((OOC: When Jean is speaking telepathically, it'll be italicized.))

Jean settled herself in for the travel to the island, having no idea what awaited them there. Decepticons. Whatever those were. Perhaps something like Omega Supreme, since he had seemed to recognize the name. She would do what she could. And perhaps touching Omega's mind would give her an idea of how these Decepticons would be. That would certainly help in the battle.

The woman smiled when Omega consented to her telepathy. Closing her eyes, Jean took a deep breath, trying to prepare herself for a foreign mind. Finally, she reached out to his mind, gasping softly at how very foreign it was. She kept from delving into his memories, for those were personal and she would not do so unless they were brought forth and shared with her. But she let the Autobot get used to her presence there for a moment, then she spoke to him.

"Hello, Omega Supreme. Thank you for letting me experience this." The words her mind spoke were emphasized with the excitement she felt at meeting such a strange, new being. She hoped that he might understand those emotions. After a moment, she asked, "Are the Decepticons like you?"

"First of all Miss Gray, I would like to thank you for this opportunity to speak and be understood in what is my real voice." Omega began speaking in a lighter and more fluent manner.

"You must understand that my voice modulator was damaged millions of years ago. As for the Decepticons, they are pure evil, not unlike your master criminals and supervillains. We Autobots have engaged in near constant ware war with the Decepticons and their leader Megatron. It all started in what on earth would be primordial times, but for our own world it was merely a very very early age. I was a guardian, protector of Crystal City, the most beloved structure in all of Cybertron. My friends were the Constructicons, they were 5 in all and very close to one another, and with myself. They were turned by Megatron, using the device called the robo-smasher. It had attacked me, resulting in my injury and the damage to my vocal and emotion centers. To this day I still feel a great deal of guilt, I had been lured away from my post by the now evil Constructicons and the beautiful Crystal City, the most sacred structure of our culture, was destroyed. Still I grieve over its loss. I hate the Decepticons."

Omega stopped talking momentarily as he fired his main jets, the blast decimated the area surrounding the point of the rockets liftoff.

Thor hovered in the air until he was sure that Jean was safely ensconced inside the enormous robot, Thor deliberately decided not to dwell on the fact that organic beings could ride inside the metal man. When he had time he would spend time mulling over how that was possible and about the robotic race in general.
But for now there were enemies to be fought and innocents to be saved, his spun Mjolnir faster and shot into the sky rapidly following the speck that was Batman's vehicle. He did not know what to expect when he arrived at this island but was confident he could deal with it.

Jean was delighted to hear Omega's true voice. If it was hard to tell before that he was truly a living being, it was obvious now. She listened while he spoke, feeling sad for what he had gone through with the loss of his friends and his beautiful city. She waited patiently while he was distracted momentarily with taking off after Thor.

Once his mind seemed less distracted, Jean spoke up again. "I am very sorry to hear of your loss," she said. "I hope that we can defeat these enemies of yours once and for all, and help you toward healing in your grief. Is there no way to fix your voice modulator? I should think it would be frustrating to not be able to speak in your own voice, but I am glad to have had this chance to speak with you. Your mind is so vastly different from any I have ever touched before."

Omega had not felt such closeness to another sentient being in a vastly long time, but he feels now that he has made a most special friend in Jean Gray, from that point Omega Supreme decided that he would dedicate himself to her protection.

She may not need it, but she now has a protector, just the same. She being currently in communication with his deepest thoughts is already aware that she has gained a dedicated ally.

"I'm afraid that the modulator is only a minor aspect of the overall damage. The emotion centers must be reset and in order to do that I would need to be shut down completely. I doubt that there is sufficient technology on this alternate world to sustain my functions as this most difficult procedure is performed. And who here would possess such knowledge."

Omega then fired up his propulsion systems.

"I'm afraid there is nothing that can done at this juncture." Omega fell into silence as the rocket blasted off from the earth.

Omega Supreme could not match the speed of Superman or Thor, but he did eventually catch up with the Bat-Jet, and was now flying beside Batman, slowing down to maintain the same rate of speed.

Within the Autobot's mind, Jean could hear his thoughts of appreciation and determination on the part of her protection. She smiled and projected into his mind that she would willingly fight at his side for as long as they were on this strange Earth. Everyone needed someone to watch their back.

"I see… Likely not," she agreed when he commented that there would probably not be sufficient technology on this planet to repair the damage that had been done to him. "I am sorry that we cannot help you… But, I would be happy to speak to you this way, anytime you like," Jean promised.

She settled in comfortably to wait out their travels, watching through Omega's eyes as they traveled next to Batman toward the island that Superman had spoken of.
