Marvel: Born in Fire!

"So, any chances you tell me about that plan of yours in order to deal with the man of Nor?" I asked with a smile as I leaned on the side of the door, happy to see that Scott and Emma actually seemed to be making plans instead of getting frisky. Then again, one of them was a telepath so…

"As a matter of fact, no. There is no chance of us telling you, or any of the other students, about our plans for Osborn." Scott said with what I assumed to be a deadpan, it was kinda hard to know due to the ruby sunglasses.

"Come on, I promise not to tell anyone. Not that most of the students are brave enough to come anywhere near me." I muttered the last part with a frown, kind of disappointed how wimpy the so called next generation of X-Men was being when it came to me and my brother. Only Noriko and Illyana had approached us till now and it was obvious that grouping the Russian mutant with the rest of the students was a dumb idea so technically it was only Noriko who had approached us from the student body.

"Normally, I would have said that's because of the lasting impression your dear father did when he was here the last time. But I think your little hazing with Illyana may have scared them far more than your father did." Emma said with a roll of her eyes and I kept the urge to roll mine in check with herculean effort.

"Fair point." I conceded to her with a nod. "I may have expected a bit too much from your students after telling me that they were the only thing standing between our race and extinction." I said with a shrug, probably taking more pleasure than I should from their winces.

"Ok, I'll come clean, I don't actually care about those plans of yours; much. But I need you guys to give me something to do, there is only so much relaxing while ignoring the looks of fear mixed with respect sent my way. At this rate I think I'll actually try to pick a fight with a student." I said with a groan as I rubbed my temples.

It might sound ridiculous considering my recent tussle with Blonsky, but there was nothing to keep me occupied at the moment. Especially since Noriko had adopted Skaar while I wasn't looking, Illyana was off to devil knows where and the Warbound departed a while ago.

"And I'd like to think our students are not dumb enough to agree to such a fight after what you did with Blonsky." Scott said with a sigh but I could see Emma rolling her eyes from behind him, guess she did not have the same confidence in her students as her boyfriend.

"Also, if you really have nothing to do then you might want to just go outside. Enjoy a small breeze, the feeling of sunlight and maybe even wrestle with other students like your brother is doing right now." Scott said as he gazed at the window, those things did sound kinda... wait what?

"What was that?" I asked as I ran up to the window and Skaar was indeed wrestling with a student with a body made out of rocks. The hell?!

"Gotta go! Bye!" I yelled as I ran to the door and then to outside, all the while wondering how exactly Skaar had ended up as mister popular during the five minutes I took my eyes off of him.

-------------------

"I don't want to say this but I don't think it would be wise to let the son of Hulk actually get bored in the school. We literally have no idea what would that lead to." Emma said with a sigh as she leaned back on the table, wondering how exactly her life ended up so crazy.

It probably started when her powers first manifested and climaxed when she thought that trying to deal with the X-Men was a good idea. Though, she looked at the sighing form of Scott, she wouldn't have it any other way.

"I know, trust me. I thought that I could keep him occupied with Strange but I'm not sure about opening that can of worms before the project Utopia."

"You're afraid that he might interfere with it?" Emma asked with a raised eyebrow and her boyfriend slouched on his chair.

"I'm not sure. Not long ago I would have said no, Strange is not exactly one to deal with the ridiculous notions of status quo or politics as he showed when he remained unaffiliated in the Civil War of the Avengers." Scott said and Emma had to hold herself back from scoffing.

The whole 'Civil War' and the notions about people caring about the deaths of innocents was a massive joke. If they cared so much about children dying, why didn't they do anything whenever mutant children got killed by any of the numerous hate groups around the world? Or with Genosha? They were all hypocrites and cared only about how things looked instead of how they really were, especially that arrogant son of a bitch Stark. His disgrace was quite honestly the one thing that she truly had enjoyed about Osborn's rise to power.

"But then we learned about that whole Illuminati thing and how they sent Hulk to space, with Strange supporting that decision. So I'm not really sure." Scott admitted, looking far too tired.

If things kept going like this, with mutants at the cusp of extinction and governments trying to control their remaining population, then the leader of the X-Men might actually end up tiring himself to death while trying to find a solution to their problems. A result that Emma would not accept.

"Let's talk about it with Hank and Logan as well." The blue furry mutant would be able to help them think through the more logical parts of their dilemmas while the hairy mutant would be helpful for the more morally questionable parts of it.

"We'll make through it Scott, I promise." Emma said softly as she hugged her boyfriend from behind, her mind already preparing methods that the rest of the X-Men would have balked at in order to deal with their problems in case they reached to unacceptable stages. Methods she had learned in the Hellfire club.
