The following day, Madison refused to let Hazel awake, choosing instead to reach out to her grandfather, explaining that Hazel will not be Hazel for a few days—Psychically, of course.
He was very understanding and even came up with a suitable excuse for her parents, explaining He took her to a trip across the states—And seeing as he was currently in Florida, there wasn't much they could do about it.
Currently, Madison was in her private warehouse, working on a machine—A city grade forcefield generator that ran off what she could only describe as psychically-crystallized sun crystals.

You see, when Madison used her superior Insight ability because her Omniversal Insight was limited, that portion of her Superior Insight ability wouldn't activate at will. Only Superior Insight did; Omniversal Insight activated only on its own and unpredictably so.
For the forcefield generators, however, she was lucky. She had managed to activate the Omniversal Insight factor of her Superior Insight ability—And what she saw was bloody inspiring and quite insightful…
Madison found herself floating in space, before the Sun, the Earth at her back. And before her, was an interesting sight—A man in a red and gold superhero set, his cape blown behind him somehow despite being in space. He had brown hair, Caucasian skin and an admittedly handsome face. He had a powerful psionic presence that seemed vaster even, then the Sun.
He seemed to be extracting plasma from the literally Sun and transforming them into crystals—large crystals that Madison was almost certain could be used to power cities for hundreds—Possibly thousands—of years by themselves.
Now, Madison was not ultra nerdy in her past life—She wasn't any expert in science or Maths, but she did read comic books—Many of them.
And, instinctively, she knew this Universe she was seeing was part of the Marvel universe —But she's never seen or heard of this guy. She doesn't even know his name—And she was pretty damn good at remembering Marvel characters.
'He must be a transmigrator,' Madison realized. 'One who lives in the Marvel Universe.... How interesting.'
Eventually, the vision shifted back to her Earth and showed her how to build a forcefield generator with enough power to power an entire world for decades.
But Madison was still thinking of that guy—That person floating in space by the Sun. She wondered who he was and what were his abilities.
'They were obviously cosmic in nature,' Madison thought to herself. 'Though I was sensing psionic abilities on him. Was that how he was able to traverse space? Cosmic level telekinesis?'
Madison honestly wasn't sure about it. Maybe she'll ask him that one day when — or if — she met him?
Madison had had to learn to fly, coat her body in psionic telekinetic energy and learn how to terraform matter—all in the same morning—And that was just to get near enough to the Sun to create the crystals.
Of course, she didn't grant herself any new abilities. She didn't need to waste a slot. Matter Manipulation is an advanced sub-discipline of Psychokinesis, which falls under Psionics. In other words, it was an ability that Madison possessed.
Of course, learning it in a few hours would've impressed even Lewis Blake—the stranger she saw in her vision (that she did not know the name of btw)—but she did what she had to do.
But she didn't copy and paste the Sun Crystals as she seen it in her vision —No. She implemented her own creative touch to the Sun crystals, making them stronger, more powerful.

She made them from hardened psionic energies, forcefully crystallized solar plasma directly from the Sun itself and something else.
In addition to granting herself Madeline's healing factor and her ability to unlock anyone's full mortal potential without also concentrating, Madison gave herself another ability.
The ability to generate and control Green TURBO energy—A massive energy source that is 1.8 billion times stronger than Blue TURBO energy, which is already 1.8 quintillion times stronger than nuclear energy.
'Now, Max Steel needed STEEL—the techno-organic alien life form that helped channel and control his TURBO energy,' Madison thought. 'I do not. Not only do I have Wolverine's healing factor, but the Green Turbo energy that would vaporize my body instantly unchecked—It's being constantly eternally channelled into my psionic powers.
'And, because my psionic capabilities are adaptive in nature, the Green TURBO energy now powering it only makes me stronger. I predict in a month, my psychic reach will be at the edge of the solar system. In 6—Beyond even that. And a year? Half the Universe.
'By the time the Demon King breaks free, with his army, and the Demon God descends, I'll be operating at a universal level of psionic capabilities… And growing…
'But, for now, I need to protect my world. Evolve its peoples and its technology,' Madison thought. 'My loved ones comes first, though, which means some individuals... will need to go. And considering I've created the Cosmic Chimera Force, the first to fall will be those damned fucking doctors.'
She remembered her reaction when seeing the Dread Doctors for the first time. She remembered how terrifying they were to her 6 year old self's mind—And the terror and fear she had felt.
'Never again,' Madison shook with rage at her failure to keep her composure then. Her Unrivaled Willpower and 8/10 Mentality Strength hadn't been awakened at that time, so she had panicked from the fear and had fallen apart in her grandfather's arms.
'But I'm no longer weak like I was before. That won't happen a second time. On the night Peter is hunted by Scott, Derek and the others... I will wipe the Dread Doctors from the face of the Earth—Permanently.'
In her rage, Madison accidentally bend the Graphene metal she was using for the forcefield generators. Graphene metal was 200x stronger than steel and far denser than diamond—And Madison's rage was letting her bend it like it were a playdoo.
"Mmm...." Madison realized. "Looks like my temporary amplifier let my anger get the best me... That's... not right. A conundrum….Hmm…".
Then Madison resumed her work—For she had much to do—And not nearly enough time to do it.
Meanwhile, that night, Corey Bryant, who was training with Theo—his alpha?—in hand to hand combat—was struggling to keep up with the others.
For starters, before being abducted, Corey was a soft person—By heart, anyway. Fighting wasn't his specialty, so he never really did it. His parents mostly forgot about him—Except the few times his father was drunk and suddenly remembered he had a son.
Those were the worst. He had the bruises to prove it, too.
Corey was good at being invisible, though. He was a natural at blending into the background.
So, when he became able to go invisible at will—Well, that was cool, in his opinion.
Then he became able to control the weather—Or, at least, he would be able to soon, according to Theo.
Waking up with a bedroom soaked in rain water only proved his point. It also enraged his father.
He rubbed his sore, bruised ribcage from where he had been repetitively hit by the man.
'According to Theo, the more I learn about and how to control my abilities, the more they'd wake up,' Corey thought as he sparred with the scorpion-wolf Chimera, Lucas Brown. 'Apparently, the Bryant bloodline has more than just invisibility and weather manipulation. Am I just too weak to awaken them?'
"Focus, Corey. Your footwork needs some working on," Theo, who was monitoring all the sparing Chimeras, addressed to a very distracted Corey.
He dodged a fist to the gut—Only to get pinned to the ground by the dark skinned guy—And unimaginably horny.
Lucas smirked, seeming to inhale his arousal. "We should meet up after this, Cor," the scorpion said, his next words making Corey blush. "I could teach you a few things. Maths. Science... Sex."
Corey disconnected, turning beet red. And Lucas? He was laughing as he let out a hand to get Corey off the ground.
"Who knows? Maybe that other boy you like can join...? What was his name again?" Lucas grinned.
"Mason?" Corey coughed.
Lucas only grinned, mischief in his eyes. "Yeah, him. I wouldn't mind a throuple, you know."
"Please stop?" Corey cried, aroused at the thought.
"What?" Lucas bumped into him playfully. "It could be fun—A perfect solution is to pick both of us. Easy. Simple... Or can you not handle two d—"
"Okay, I think Theo called for us," Corey rushed to the alpha, red in the face, even as Lucas laughed loudly behind him...
