Marvel: Starting From The Bottom

"You didn't have to go that far…" James sneered as Bobby and Scott recovered using the recuperation device. "If they were not in the Danger Room, they would have died."

"Maybe. But trust me, I was bȧrėly trying." I sighed. "They are good, but not enough. However... I know you can train them well, James."

He grunted as he was still not good with taking compliments. 

"So, are you going to join the X-Men?" He asked, curiously.

"Nope." 

"Thought so."

Later when the boys had recovered, Xavier invited me to have lunch with them— which I gladly accepted.

As we sat at the dining table, Kitty stared at me with wide eyes.

"Is there something on my face?" I asked.

She was still shocked by my abilities and honestly… letting the people see a fraction of my powers felt good.

"How... did you do all that…" Kitty asked, garnering the interest of nearly everyone around the table.

"Trade secret." 

Jean chuckled at my response and James shook his head before focusing on the meal.

*Cough* *Cough*

Bobby nearly choked on his food at Xavier's revelation.

Hurriedly gulping down some water, he looked at Xavier. 

"Like me?" 

Xavier smiled at his question. "Yes and no." 

"What do you mean, professor?" Kurt asked in his thick German accent. 

"Bobby you are an omega level mutant and so is Markus, but even amongst omega levels there is usually quite a huge gap." Xavier explained. "I don't like talking at the dining table, but since this is an interesting topic… I am making an exception."

The mutants nodded. 

"Markus' mutant ability is far stronger than anyone within this room." He revealed. 'But Jean might be equal to him.' 

Scott looked at me. "But nobody has yet told us about your abilities." He said, dismissing my previous statement of wishing to keep it a secret.

"You somehow teleported our attacks behind us. So, I believe that it was spatial manipulation? And your intangibility seemed like an ability provided by spatial manipulation."

I smiled at his deduction. He is the leader for a reason. 

He might be a person who lets his emotions control his decisions at times, but he is still a smart person. 

While his deduction about my phasing ability was wrong… it was not completely off the track either. It was true that spatial manipulation provided phasing ability but I preferred the molecular manipulation version.

Any reason for that? None.

Kitty looked at me. "Is that correct?"

"Maybe…" I said without giving her a concrete answer. 

She frowned but just as she was about to pursue the topic further, Xavier stopped her.

Kitty frowned but nodded.

Kurt on the other hand was interested in another topic.

"You have a brother?" He asked.

"Yep." I said. "He is quite a few years older than me."

"Oh." Kurt mumbled.

"So, is he a mutant as well?" Bobby asked and before I could answer, Kitty did it for me.

"Yep. He is Magnus Hanley." 

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

This time it was not only Bobby that choked, Kurt and Scott did as well.

"Yep." Kitty nodded.

Scott looked at me. "So, you are the son of the Mutant Messiah?" 

I laughed. "Dad was indeed known by that name."

James stared at me and returned to enjoying his meal.

Everyone was shocked whereas Kurt had a look of worship on his face.

Open reading his mind, I figured that he knew he could live comfortably only thanks to Marcellus. Or he would have been hunted down as a freak and since his features were quite unique, he couldn't have stayed hidden either.

"So, are you still not planning to join us?" Bobby asked. "We would love to have someone like you with us."

"Nah. I am not interested in any teams for now." I looked at Xavier. "But if I change my mind, I will contact you."

And with that, he can forget about getting a call from me.

…

[Later that night]

[London]

Sitting on the roof of Buckingham Place, I stared at the guards walking around. Despite all the security, they couldn't find the three men on top of the building.

"Are we sure that he will appear?" The man that stood behind me asked. 

"He is not known for breaking promises, Marc." 

Yes, the one standing behind me was Moonknight. 

"But he seems to be bad at being on time." 

The other man's statement made me chuckle. "Ironic."

"I agree with Carl." Marc said. "He is pretty late."

The other man that stood behind me was none other than Carl Creel, also known as the Absorbing Man.

After an intense fight… on his side, he decided to join me. 

As we stood on top of Buckingham Palace for another ten minutes, I felt the air around us changing. None of the other two noticed, but I was used to spatial manipulation.

"You are late." I said, making the other two look around us.

"I am not late, I was merely waiting for the right time to appear." The deep voice resounded as the guards below us fell asleep.

A man wearing a red cape materialised before us, making Marc and Carl vigilant.

"Easy." I raised my arm as the two calmed a little.

"Well, whatever." I stood up. "At least you are here, Strange."

The master of the mystic arts smiled. "This is not a good place to talk, we should go somewhere more… appropriate."

He snapped his fingers and before Marc and Carl could react, they vanished.

Meanwhile, I stood exactly where I initially sat.

He paused but sighed. "A Champion of Space. Makes sense."

"I would appreciate it if you could ask for permission, Strange. Sorcerer Supreme or not, I don't take well to people disrespecting my wishes."

He stared at me for a while and sighed. "Forgive my ignorance, maybe I inherited this from my master."

"Old man was too prideful and it was one of the reasons he fell, Strange. Don't follow the same path." I warned and he nodded. 

Ancient One was too proud and that was the reason for his death. He could have asked for help from other individuals that were stronger than him but he continued to take powers from the Dark Dimension— and it didn't end well for him.

"So, shall we get going?" Strange asked. 

Smiling at him, I nodded. "Yes."

With that, the two of us vanished— using our own spatial warps.
