Several hours after receiving my rewards and after completing all of my saved paperwork, I finally stepped into my lab once again. Walking up to Athena's central server I slowly continued where I left off, using the sample of Massless Neutronium to amplify the durability of the server itself. I also included some Kyber crystals into the internal memory slots, allowing for an enhanced memory storage system and an additional power source should the electricity get turned off for any reason; almost impossible since the power source for the building was an arc reactor.
The process took less than ten minutes as my newly empowered mutant abilities simply used my own thoughts to create matter and segments of the server. If I was to look at the technological difference between Apollo and Athena, I would say Athena would be superior. She had a significant enhancement when it came to cognitive capabilities, boosted by Kyber crystals and some hypothetical quantum materials that allowed for data-retention far past the normal rate. Athena would also be the first Server to include nano-machines for maintenance; an upgrade that I would spread to my other 'children' soon enough.
My new power was odd, to put it lightly. The ability just seemed to understand what I wanted and grabbed into my mind for the material I wanted to use before generating it immediately. It wasn't on the level of sentience, but more like a minor AI assistant that aided me in forming my ideas into reality.
"What if I wanted a material that was invisible...?" I mumbled to myself whilst my ability simply reached deep into my mind before returning, a clump of something clanging against my bench. Whatever it was, it was completely invisible.
"Holy shit... I can literally just ask for certain properties!?" I half shouted, half wheezed as I considered the sheer power of this ability. I took a few moments to breathe before experimenting.
"Iron." With a pulse an ingot of Iron appeared in front of me, perfectly polished and completely pure. It was 100% made of Iron, there was no impurities.
"Graphene...?" A 30cm square slab of Graphene popped into existence right next to the pure iron ingot as if it had always been there. I stared at the results for quite a while before a small chuckle escaped my lips.
If I was a danger before, now I was problem.
"I want a material that absorbs sunlight and has the ability to conduct that energy, I also want it as light as Aluminium, as hard as diamond and as strong as stacked graphene." I felt my mutation humming inside of me as it pulled upon my magic and force powers for a moment until an ingot of purple-grey metal slapped down onto the table, the exterior slowly starting to glimmer as Apollo flashed into the room.
"What yah up to dad?" He asked harmlessly whilst looking over my shoulder at the freshly created madness upon the table.
"Uuuuuuhhhh... My powers got merged and combined with an ability named True Naming... I was just experimenting with the upgrade and found I can just specify what I want aloud and it gets made." I explained in mild shock.
"Holy shit..." Apollo exclaimed as he looked down at the materials with a glimmer in his eyes.
"I just made a metal that can absorb the sun's radiation and convert that into electricity, has the hardness of diamond and is as strong as graphene when stacked." His eyes widened even further as he listened to me explain my latest experiment.
"We, could use that for so much... Imagine spacecraft with that material on the outside? We could avoid the heat-sink issue entirely and even have an extra power generation method." Apollo whispered in reverence.
"I also created a material that is completely invisible. I don't know how the fuck we're going to use it, but it's there." I waved my hand towards the invisible clump of matter that I could only feel with my ability.
"Ooo, that could be cool for your guard droids dad!" Apollo excitedly shifted towards the invisible matter, his eyes flickering like the surface of the sun.
I sighed, rubbing between my eyes as I considered new experiments. It didn't take too long to figure what my next test should be.
"Athena is complete and is just waking up. I think I may have to declare her name as Athena before she gains any powers from the 'true naming' element of my powers." Apollo craned his neck to the side to listen to me as I walked over to Athena's server.
'I guess I should try mentally commanding my power?'
I ran my right hand over the exterior of my new daughter's server, feeling the power of my mutation pulsing inside of me; as if it was moving in expectation. 'I name you Athena.' I thought with as much concentration as I could.
The result was a bright red glow flowing down my arm into the server before the light shifted through an enormous spectrum of colours, eventually settling on an Oceanic Blue hue that wrapped around the server and sunk inside of it.
"Okay, my mutation is broken... Saying that now before anyone else says it..." Apollo nodded next to me as he watched Athena awake at a rate beyond the capabilities of any of his siblings, her personality matrix filling with all forms of information at a staggering rate.
"Dad, is this why I was able to heal someone a few hours ago?" I facepalmed at my eldest son's innocent question.
"Yes Apollo. I wish you had told me before I found out for myself." I tiredly leaned against a nearby metal table as the Sun-gremlin beamed me a smile.
"AWESOME! I'm gonna go ask all the others if they've got cool powers now!" He proclaimed before instantly flashing away, his excitement causing a flashbang of sunlight to spread through the room before the metal I had created before absorbed it all.
"I wish he'd stop doing that..." I grouched as I rubbed my eyes, small flecks of light gliding through my line of sight.
For the next several hours I tested 'LOGOS-POIESIS', creating FR1s and recon droids. The results were mixed and I eventually found that my mutation could just instantly create something that I've created before. Anything that was new took some time for the first few generations but quickly sped up to the same level. The only problem with the ability when it came to creating machines without any blueprints was that it tried to compensate and sometimes made errors based off a lack of information or direction.
Unfortunately for me I couldn't keep testing my abilities as I needed to go spend some time with my family. My powers could take a break for a little, it was time to introduce Rogue and Barriss to my sisters.

Rakata Prime, New Asgard
Doom sat next to his mother as thousands of workers swiftly started levelling the mountaintop. This mountain had only been worked for a single day but was already looking like a stable foundation for a palace or city as hundreds of construction units; small robot assistants, aided Asgardians and Midgardians in moving large stones and mined rock.
Yesterday most of the barges were emptied of their stores and taken to this peak to blast the peak apart into excavatable chunks. These workers had just finished clearing these chunks after a full day's worth of work. In Doom's experience of building bunkers and structures, they would now survey the ship and mountain underneath, to ensure safety, before setting a large foundation that would be carefully measured.
The foundation would most likely be created with the same stone that they had excavated and perhaps some concrete or advanced variant therein. It was a massive undertaking, but one that was all the more important now that their former universe was gone.
"What are you thinking about my son?"
Doom turned to regard his mother, her tone quivering slightly in anxiety.
"Nothing mother... Just considering the process of turning this mountain into an actual city." He said softly whilst carefully placing his hand on top of hers.
"Hmmm, If I were you I would offer my experience in these trying times. Perhaps if you offer enough aid you could slowly escape from under the weight of your past actions." She declared delicately, her hawk-like gaze narrowing on Loki as the King himself pointed towards several adjacent mountaintops whilst speaking to the lead architect and engineer.
"I know mother... and I will. I just wish to spend some more time with you before I become too busy." He said as he watched the architect smirk at the engineer who looked close to tearing his hair out.
"Nonsense. Don't waste your time with an old lady like me... Go find your place within this new land, find a lady for yourself, give me grandkids... That's what you need to do." She huffed out in mock anger.
"Fine, fine. Give me a few more minutes of peace before I offer my aid." Doom waved off her fake frustration as he watched the Asgardian magic users congregate around the centre of the flattened mountaintop.
Rings of magical threads soon emerged into the visible spectrum as they quickly spooled around the eight magic users, the glow similar to that of the beam with which Loki had struck him in the battle. Eventually, as the magic settled, the threads merged together until they became a sphere of pure light.
"Ah... They are creating a leyline..." Doom whispered in awe as he watched another hundred mages all step into an even larger circle. The effect was immediate as the ball of pure magic flared like a miniature sun before exploding into a gloopy light that splattered throughout the mountain range before sinking down into the land.
All of the mages celebrated with a cheer as hundreds of thousands of plants, trees and fauna all surged with new life. Doom could feel a wave of energy wrap around the mountaintop itself before a lesser wave kept on ebbing backwards and forwards between the most distant mountain in this mountain range and the centre of the ritual.
"That was very well done." His mother declared plainly as she watched the Asgardian workers all clap each other on the back or cry out in excitement.
"Yes, it was. Perhaps I can contribute on behalf of the Humans..." He mused before abruptly standing and patting off his green robes.
"Good. Now go make yourself a future here. I want to live in a manor, not some hovel..." She stated in monotone, before smirking at him.
Doom only nodded before walking down towards the Asgardian mages. It was time for him to do something right for once.

Grimmauld Place, London England
Lily and James Potter sat on the couch in front of Sirius and their son Harry as they finished explaining the last of their adventures.
"Hold on paddy, you said 'other universes'?" James questioned immediately, his eyes widening even as he asked.
"Yeah Prongs! It was bloody awesome...! There were spaceships in space that were fighting one another with huge turbo-lasers. Then there were these old monk people that used sword made of light to fight wars and stuff! Hell, me and harry joined their enemy order and got our own variant!" Sirius pulled his saber out and activated it for a few moments before deactivating it.
James leaned back in his seat in shock whilst Lily was trying to process the sheer absurdity of her son's life and also the fact that he had slain a Basilisk at the age of 12 with Godric Gryffindor's sword... 12!!!
"I'm going to kill Dumbledore." Lily proclaimed abruptly, startling everyone else in the room; except for Harry who simply grinned at her in extreme happiness.
"There's a line Lily, you may want to join the end of it?" Sirius proclaimed snootily before all four of them burst into laughter.
Things were difficult for the out-of-time parents but it was slowly getting better.
"So, Son... Have you found a girlfriend yet?" James asked innocently, deciding to just put aside more serious conversation for later.
"Urghhhh, don't mention that... I'm horrible at dating!" Harry grouchily slumped into himself on the couch as Sirius and James cackled at his expense.
