Capítulo 7: Chapter 6
"Skaar…"
"No." My brother grunted at me, looking like he was contemplating whether he could get away with picking me up and pile driving me to the ground.
"Brother, I need you to shrink. You are scaring our new friends here." I said as I gestured to the gathered members of the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.
"And why should I care?" Skaar's response was immediate and very... Skaar.
"Because it is the polite thing to do and we are in a polite society now." I gritted out, sometimes I couldn't help but wish I was one of those normal people who didn't have to deal with their little brothers becoming rebellious little shits before they were even five.
"One day, you'll be like that with Franklin and Valeria."
"Shut up Johny." I could hear the bickering between the Storm siblings, using my current situation as a mean of amusement for themselves. One day I would get my vengeance for that, but now...
"Skaar, please. I know you don't exactly like being..."
"Puny." My brother interrupted me with a grunt with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Yes, that. Because of all the dangers we faced, but you don't need to worry. I am here, if nothing else I can buy you the time you need to transform back if we get back in danger." I said with some calming gestures as my brother kept glaring at me. Looking like I was a particularly ugly bug, but then...
...he started to shrink.
In a few seconds, the long haired green Goliath was gone. Replaced by a long haired small kid with grayish skin and eyes much like mine. And for the first time in our lives, I was taller than my brother.
"Thank you Skaar." I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder.
"Humph." He simply huffed as he turned his face away from me, he was just far too adorable for his own good; even with the sword that was far too big for him now on his back.
"Come now brother." I said with a smile as we walked up to the plane.

"So, you're saying that I am a mutant?" Kala, the son of Hulk, said with his arm around his now much smaller brother.
If she didn't have an amazing self control that had been trained through years as a super hero, a mother and the wife of one Reed Richards; Susan Richards would have been hugging Skaar with a squeal at a pitch only dogs could hear. He just looked so adorable!
But she did have self control and also doubted that Kala would have appreciated anyone trying to take his brother from his arms at the moment.
"That is how Cerebro identified you as, we will need to do some tests due to your... extraterrestrial heritage, but we are pretty sure that you are one of us." Scott Summers said with a nod with his visor on his face.
Susan felt bad about the young man, she remembered the days when he had been quite free spirited and smiling. But then, the tragedy of M Day that almost destroyed his entire race and the many other tragedies he had endured in his life had turned him into a jaded man that just felt... cold.
She was also concerned about the way he said 'us'. She knew that the rest of the humanity treated mutants in a way that could never in any way considered to be okay and that they felt the need to stick together for safety, but the way he said it was getting less and less like the way Charles Xavier said it and more like Magneto.
"And now you want me to come with you to your, school?"
"To be perfectly honest, it is less of a school and more of a base for the remaining mutants to gather in safety." Colossus said, a grim visage on his steel face.
"You sure it's a good idea to gather the remaining of anything in one place? Sounds like an invitation for a situation much similar to my mother's murder." Kala said with a deadpan and everyone on the plane had to wonder how exactly he could say such a thing with a straight face.
"There is a certain amount of such danger, that is for sure. But there is also strength in unity." Emma Frost, former villainess and the White Queen of the Hellfire Club, said with her legs crossed over one another.
"Hmm true that." The son of Hulk said with a nod.
"But would attending to this... school of yours, what would be the merit in that? Our goal is after all, properly meeting our father." Kala said and was answered by a snort from Magik, the sister of Colossus.
"You would get protection from the people who have a problem with your daddy, numbers of such people are quite high after the last fiasco he caused." The Russian mutant said, not caring about the judging gazes sent towards her way.
"While Magik's words are... harsh, she is not exactly wrong. Your father is not exactly a well liked man." Her husband said with a dour expression, likely remembering the Hulk's rampage that had made him and his little boy club decide to send him to space and his latest rampage after he returned for vengeance.
"I am aware of that, mister Richards. He wouldn't be exiled if he was well liked." The young man snorted at their direction and Reed looked at him with shock.
"You know..."
"Your name. Yeah, I do."
"Then why did you call me..."
"'Mister tights wearing man whose name I don't know'? Because your reaction was funny." The young man said and Susan had to hide her smile behind her hand, her husband deserved to be taken down a peg or two once in a while or he would start making ridiculous gadgets again.
"It may not be easy on Sakaar, but learning the names of the quartet who banished my father from this planet was not impossible." And that wiped her smile off of her face. She could also see her husband and everyone in the plane flinch at that.
Every one of them other than Magik had experienced Hulk's rage after he returned to Earth. X-Men may not have been there in the battle but she heard that they had fought against the vengeful giant when he had come to their school in search of Xavier.
They had gotten off easy, Susan could still remember the shocks from the obedience disk Hulk's friends had placed on her chest as she watched her husband almost got killed by a controlled Tony before he was stopped by the vengeful giant. Hulk's words still ringed in her ears.
'We came here for justice, not murder.'
How funny that the one invading their planet had been arguably the most human among those in the arena.
"The words of the miss have truth in them though, please tell me more about your school."
