Capítulo 4: Wolverine

Tony was sitting at the back of his car in a black suit and goggles as Happy, Tony's bodyguard was driving him to the S.H.I.E.L.D's headquarters.

"So Tony…" Said Happy as he looked at Tony through the rear view mirror.

"Yes Hogan?" Replied Tony with a smile.

"You going to tell me about that shiny thingy on your shirt? That a new reactor? Didn't you removed the arc reactor from your body a while ago? Pepper won't be happy seeing this you know."

Tony chuckled at Hogan's remark and said in a snarky voice

"Seems like you know a whole lot about what Pepper is gonna like and not like."

Anthony knew that in the comics, Pepper marries Tony's dear friend and bodyguard Happy Hogan. And Although Anthony doesn't like Pepper, but he still regards her as a useful asset and due to that, he would do something about this bodyguard of his.

"It's just a flashlight Hogan, you know, for doing stuff at night." added Tony with a smirk.

Hogan just sighed at his Boss's sarcastic reply and though he thought that he looked a little different today but this sarcasm of his was the same as before.

Tony reached the S.H.I.E.L.D's headquarters and as he entered the meeting room under the gazes of many S.H.I.E.L.D officials and security agents, Steve greeted him.

"Hey Tony"

"Steve, Natasha, Sam, Wanda" Said Tony in their direction and nodded.

Soon General Ross came to the meeting room and nodded at Tony after which he took out a pen and clicked it, starting the screen in front of them.

As the screen started, The footage of all the Avenger's mission started to play. The destruction they did to stop aliens, ultron, crossbones, etc.

All which were present frowned upon seeing this and when the footage of their last mission was showed, where Wanda, the Scarlet witch had blown up a building to save Steve Rogers, both Steve and Wanda dropped their eyes as the guilt started to act in their brains.

"Ok Enough"

Said Steve as he couldn't stand watching the deaths which happened as a collateral damage in his Captaincy of the Avenger's missions.

"Captain" Said Ross bringing the attention of everyone to him

"People are afraid." Continued Ross as he placed a thick file in front of him titled "Sokovia Accords".

"This is Sokovia Accord, According to this, your missions will be overseen by a special UN council. No one with superpower can run around the street being a vigilante. They have to register their powers and they will be put in-check. The government will decide if the Missions you are doing are worth the trouble or not, and a couple more things you can read in this file."

Tony saw as Steve hesitated at the idea of being a government's puppet and knew that a Civil war will be imminent.

People who oppose this law versus the one who support it. Although he can stop Captain right here and now but he needs to wait till King T'chaka dies in the conference in Vienna where this will be ratified. There he will have the permission to hunt and kill Barnes and no one will point fingers at him for doing so.

'Although I don't give a flying fuck about Bucky but his death will let me have my way with Ant-man and Vision since they were the ones protecting him. And I need to subdue that idiot T'Challa. He gave Bucky a cryogenic asylum in Wakanda.'

Thought Tony as he saw the Avengers argue in front of him with Ross.

"What do you think Tony?" Suddenly asked Captain making everyone silent to hear his response.

Tony didn't say anything and looking at his silence, Natasha said with a clear disbelief in her eyes.

"He agrees."

This shocked all of them as Tony was the most careless and arrogant guy they've met and him agreeing to put his powers in the hands of government was simply unimaginable.

Tony got up and took out his liquor flask and said after taking a sip.

"I was giving a speech last month at the M.I.T and as I completed the said speech and was going down the stage, many people rushed at me for the autographs and pictures. A number of them were students while some were parents too.

Do you know what one of those parents did, Steve? She called me a murderer as her eyes were red while glaring at me.

I was confused as to why someone would have such grudge against me. I mean I have donated billions to charity, saved the world many times and helped the world with my technologies. But soon I remembered my past, where I was regarded as a "Merchant of Death" because of Stark weapons. I thought that maybe her loved ones had died from my weapons so to repent for it, I researched about her. Do you know what I found Steve?"

Tony looked at Steve with red eyes. His expression was of that of hurt, as if he was dying inside. A guilt so huge that could crush him, an arrogant playboy.

"Her family home was in Sokovia. Her very brilliant son who studied at M.I.T went to their family home after 2 years to spend some quality time when Ultron came and ripped them to shreds to make the vibranium machine to lift the city up....Their deaths….They are on me. I don't care what is written in that file, I'm game with whatever the government decides. We need to be put in check."

As Tony finished his speech which he prepared last night, he willed a tear in his left eye before immediately turning around so that others get the idea that he is hurt and crying in his guilt.

Tony although had a smirk on his face at the silence of the room.

He knew that his speech will garner him a good image in front of everyone so that in future he can be more relaxed about doing a certain things.

"Tony…" Said Steve as he tried to console his friend but he couldn't say anything as he knew that his conscious wasn't clear as well.

Charles Xavier was using his cerebro while Wolverine and Beast were standing behind him.

Wolverine had recently returned to the Xavier's School of Special People as there were multiple attempts at his life. At first he thought that they were just some people with grudges against him but he soon found himself on the run as he was being hunted by seasoned bounty hunters and experienced assassins.

He found out that someone had put a $3 million bounty on his head and to find out who it was, he needed the help of Xavier.

Xavier was using cerebro to reach out to his other friends about Wolverine's situation and found that there was no trace of the person who had done it. He was still recovering after the fight with Apocalypse when suddenly Wolverine had come to ask questions. He thought that Charles's best buddy Magneto had something to do with it.

"*Arrrgggghhhhhh*"

Suddenly a bloodcurdling scream from Charles stunned both Beast and Wolverine as they saw that Charles's ears have started to bleed and many veins on his head were protruding out.

Tony had come straight here after the meeting with General Ross and was currently levitating above the Xavier's school as he looked towards the Cerebro that he just hacked. Tony was shocked when he saw Cerebro's power. Charles could kill every single mutant on the planet with a slight amplifications from him.

Tony used electromagnetic waves and intercepted Charles's brainwaves to get what he wanted and gave his brain a shock after he did that. He can't have Charles interrupt him for what he was about to do.

Suddenly Charles was taken out of the Cerebro as both Beast and Wolverine rushed towards a room and put him on a bed.

Beast quickly started to wipe the blood and dress his injury as Wolverine, in his rage rushed out of the school to look for a mutant responsible for this.

Tony smiled as he looked at Wolverine rushing out of the school while some other mutants were asking him questions and some went to Charles.

'Jarvis, Do you have a visual on Apocalypse?' Asked Tony in his head.

Jarvis quickly affirmed and showed him a live feed from a security camera where Apocalypse's body was lying in a lab with people in white lab coats taking his blood and experimenting. This never happened in Marvel but due to him transmigrating, many things which were left unexplained needed to be explained in the reality.

In comics, Apocalypse was never truly killed. And when he was, he was resurrected many times to fight Dracula, as a child, and Genesis cloned him by the end too.

Apocalypse's blood and body were a game changer in his plan as they were comparable to a Celestial.

Tony could've only found him through Charles's cerebro and hence his visit to Xavier's school.

"Now for you my Adamantium source, James" Said Tony while looking at Wolverine.

Very soon all the students went to surround Charles while Wolverine was just pacing towards the Cerebro hoping to find the culprit. However as Wolverine reached the Cerebro, the color from his face drained as all the veins in his head collapsed.

Wolverine soon saw Ironman in his nanosuit come in front of him from his behind while retracting his hands from his ears.

"Neural Stunner. Don't even try to resist. This thing almost killed we when Stane used it to steal my arc reactor, and now I shall use this to steal your adamantium." Said Tony as he caught the paralyzed Wolverine and immediately ingested some nanoparticles in his body which blocked the blood from going to his brain.

"So many things, what to do first." Said Tony, lifting Wolverine on his shoulder and shooting up in the sky.
