MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM-Chapter 64: Anna's Message

Despite System greatly speeding up the game's development, it would still take Alex a few days to finish Fortnite.

While he was having dinner in Bee's room, Alex felt his phone glow and saw that it was a message from Anna.

"You can play without me for a while Bee, I'll answer some messages." Alex waved to Bee who was on the couch with the video game controller in one hand while the other held a gas hose, which he found very tasty.

"No problem." Bee answered without worrying too much.

They had developed a routine of playing together daily after Alex's dinner, which brought their friendship closer.

Alex could say that Bee was his best friend, and Bee could also say the same about Alex, although the two had known each other for a few days, the two had many interests in common, which brought them very close.

[Hey Alex, are you free tomorrow?] - Anna sent a message.

[Yes, why?] - Alex replied after thinking that Fortnite was almost ready, but he wanted to take a rest before the game's debut, as when that was released he would be very busy.

[We're having a barbecue tomorrow, do you want to come?] Anna asked a little nervously.

She had said that she was going to invite Alex to the mansion when the Professor asked a few days ago, but she was too embarrassed to send him a message after that, which delayed her message a lot.

Since the barbecue was the next day, she felt she needed to send it in today or she wouldn't get another opportunity.

[Sure, send me the location and I'll go, what time will that be?] Alex asked interested.

[You can come around 11:00 am if you want to bring some swimwear, we have a pool here.] Anna replied right after sending the location.

[Cool! But I think I'll avoid the pool, maybe enjoy some sun? Hehe.] Alex denied the pool because he knew Anna couldn't get in due to her mutation.

During the festival he felt quite comfortable with her, and knew it was a lie if he said he wasn't interested in this girl.

So much so that after returning from the festival he decided to dedicate himself to his Occlumency.

This was an idea he had when thinking about dealing with her, as he knew that her power used touch to invade the person's mind and steal some memories and the person's powers.

But this invasion was so powerful that the person's mental defenses were destroyed, causing the person's brain to immediately induce a coma for protection and repair.

But he figured that with well-developed Occlumency he could guard against it, so perhaps he could have more intimate contact with her.

The level of Occlumency he bought was only Snape's level, which was already quite high, but considering how potent her ability was, he proceeded to use the knowledge he received to further increase his mental defense.

Anna was happy to see that Alex didn't intend to go into the pool, as that way they could spend more time together.

[I don't want to go to the pool either, so I can keep you company with the sun!] She replied excitedly, before getting a little embarrassed as she realized that maybe she's shown too much happiness?

'Does he think I'm hitting on him?' She thought worriedly.

[Excellent! Then we can be together.] Alex also responded positively, which calmed Anna's heart a lot.

'What clothes should I wear?' She wondered as she looked at her wardrobe.

As she liked the Gothic style, she had few clothes to wear in the sun. She didn't want to stick with a long-sleeved shirt, as that would make her look like an outsider around everyone else in lighter clothes.

Not knowing what to do, Anna ran to Jean and said with a scared expression. "Jean, help me…"

Seeing Anna like this, Jean got worried and stopped what she was doing. "What's up Anna, is everything okay?"

Anna shook her head. "I don't have anything to wear to the barbecue tomorrow."

Jean was surprised to hear this, as Anna always wore the dark, long-sleeved clothes to their barbecues. "Why are you worried about that? Maybe… it's because of Alex?!" Jean thought excitedly.

Anna got a little shy and just nodded, she knew she couldn't hide it, especially since it was Jean, who from time to time heard the thoughts of others.

Seeing Anna shy, Jean had a big smile on her face and went to her wardrobe. "Look at my clothes, maybe there's something you like!" Jean said as she started sorting out clothes that would fit well with the occasion.

Anna came to Jean since the two had similar body proportions. Although Kitty was very helpful, Anna knew that Kitty's breasts were much smaller than hers, if she wore one of Kitty's clothes she might not even be able to breathe.

As for Jean, her breasts were almost the same size as hers, so even if maybe it was a little tight, she would still manage to look good in it.

While looking at the clothes, Anna finally saw something that she liked and that suited her.

"Hey Jean, can I get this bathing suit?" Anna asked as she held the bathing suit in front of her and measured to see if it would fit her, luckily the size was perfect.

"No problem…" Jean smiled as she looked at Anna in the bathing suit. "I think Alex will like what he sees."

Anna heard Jean say that and got shy again, before hugging her bathing suit and going back to her room.

Even though she couldn't get in the pool with the others as she could touch someone, Anna still wanted to wear a bathing suit, as she knew Alex would like to see her wearing one.

Jean laughed at Anna being shy like that. She was used to Anna always being angry and not having much patience to deal with what she didn't want, when someone teased her like that she would probably give the person a middle finger and tell her to fuck off.

But as she was shy because of Alex, she changed into a simple shy girl who was embarrassed to even speak.

"I don't think Bobby is going to be very happy about this…" Jean sighed at the thought of Bobby, the ice boy, who had a crush on Anna.

But thinking about Alex's confidence, as long as Bobby didn't use his powers maybe it wouldn't cause so many problems.

Unfortunately for Jean, Bobby wasn't as cool-headed as she'd imagined, and the barbecue wasn't going to be as peaceful as it had been.
