บท 36: Advances in Genosha
In the month after the event at the United Nations, I had done everything in my power to bring Genosha into a new golden age. Crime was nonexistent, power was free, food was abundant, there were no pollutants in the air, and the population was slowly growing to include mutants and mutates from all walks of life. I had rebuilt the government from the ground up, repealing the laws that hurt mutants and replaced them with laws that gave Humans, Mutates, and Mutants equal rights under the law. I had abolished slavery, repurposed the Gengineer's labs into advanced scientific centers meant for new discoveries and inventions. In one months' time, I had turned Genosha from a farming community into one of the worlds most advanced countries. Shockingly, the population was 16,521,063 people before I took over, but the human population was only 1,043,125. Mutants outnumbered the humans almost 16 to 1.
As for diseases, they were nonexistent. Every single person on the planet was required to receive an injection of nanobots into their bloodstreams. This injection would take foreign microbes or bacteria or viruses and turns them into a vaccine or takes them out altogether. They also connect to a wristband the wearer is required to wear similar to the one I gave Rogue. It shows the person's vitals, their powers, whether they are absorbing too much energy if that is a part of their powers, and each wristband comes with a medical based A.I. similar to Stark's Jarvis or Baymax from Big Hero 6. When the wearer is injured, the A.I. (Which the wearer can name) will direct the Nanobots to the injured or sick area and heal the wearer or speed up the healing process if the wearer already has a slow healing factor.
Another advancement was Genosha's military. Most of the military were drones made from Adamantine based on the Sentinels from Days of Future Past, the only difference being height and design. instead of being a shifting mass of nanobots, these drones were similar to the drones used and made by Whiplash in Iron Man 2, but with the new Genoshan flag on their shoulders. The flag being a Celtic Trinity Knot on a purple background, The Goblin symbol on top of the knot.
Using some of Mystique's and Rogue's DNA, I was able to program the drone to become adaptable to an extent. These drones could scan an ability and replicate it perfectly with none of the drawbacks. One example would be Cyclops. Instead of requiring a Ruby Quartz visor, they could control the blasts. These drones were under the control of several lesser A.I.'s who were under Ultron's control.
Besides their power mimicry, they were outfitted with enhanced Chitauri technology. In the end, these drones were nigh unbeatable. The U.N. won't even know about them due to the factories used to make them are under the Palace.
Speaking of the U.N. and the countries within, I had made Psylock the official Ambassador for Genosha. A fact that frustrated many anti mutant activists to no end.
Which was the point.
Several countries attempted to get into the country using spies: Russia, China, France, even America sent their best spies to infiltrate Genosha only to get repelled violently by the police force. A force fully automated by weaker versions of the military drones. Even Black Widow tried to come in and find out what was going on.
Considering she and I worked together as part of the Avengers, I let her into the palace Throne room so we could talk.
She didn't appreciate it when I created a portal underneath her for her to fall into.

(3rd person POV)
Landing in a heap on the Throne Room floor, Natasha Romanoff nearly cursed as she pushed herself back to a standing position.
"What the hell, Osborn?" she asked once she was up. Glancing around, she noticed Sandman and Yuriko standing on either side of the throne dressed in specific armors. Sandman wearing a nanobot based armor that could stick with him whenever he turned to sand. Yuriko was wearing a slightly more effeminate version of the Achilles Armor. Both armors sported the symbol of Genosha's flag on their right shoulders.
The Goblin's armor was also different than what she remembered. Instead of the light cloth type armor that so many SHIELD agents including herself wore, he now wears a suit that looks like a sleeker iron man suit. (Look at my Google+ account. I have pictures!) the main difference being color. The only royal ornamentation was simple gold plates.
"It's actually 'Your Highness' in this situation, Nat." Alex jokes, "Anyway. What brings you to Genosha? The beaches? The Men? The Women? Maybe the gift shop?"
"You took over a country." She deadpanned. "Why?"
"Because the previous government was crap and no one was doing anything. Therefore I decided I could do better." He replies simply. "The people here were experimented on, Nat. turned into mindless slaves. I couldn't stand for that."
"You took over… A country." She emphasized. "What the previous government did was wrong, but that doesn't mean you can go around and take over countries because of it!"
"If I didn't, someone worse than me would have. Someone with a vendetta against humans. There would have been a lot more deaths than the one it took me to get in here." He says, standing from his throne and starts walking toward her down the steps. "I was the better option, and because I took over, Genosha has become the worlds most advanced known country. Crime is nonexistent, the people love me, there is no disease, no one is going hungry and the people have the best education in the world available to them. What makes what I have done so wrong?" I ask her.
Because as soon as people realize what you have done, others will try the same thing." She answers.
"You mean like the Red Skull?" he counters. "He ruled Germany from behind the scenes before I was even born, Widow. What I had done is not new. It has happened before and will happen again, by people much worse than I am. If Fury wants my allegiance when the time comes, tell him he had better start convincing his higher ups to listen to reason, otherwise I will sit back and enjoy the show."
"You wouldn't, you're too good of a person." She says as she tries to rile him up and possibly get more information. "You saved me from Banner on the Helicarrier, you helped us save New York, You helped each of the Avengers in some way. You are too good of a person to simply set back and watch."
"Please. Don't make this all about you, I calmed Banner down because if Hulk came out, the Helicarrier would have been torn apart in the ensuing battle between him and Thor. I will not risk my people's lives helping people who refuse to accept Mutants, Mutates, and my title as King of Genosha." He replies, walking around her. "If a threat affects Genosha, you can bet your ass I'll be there in the front lines defending my Country. Otherwise? The world can go screw themselves."
Looking at Alex Osborn, Natasha Romanoff can only shake her head at the person she fought alongside. She was hoping for a better outcome than this, but she should have expected this.
"Now, with all due respect, Widow… Get off my Island." With that, the Goblin creates a portal next to her for her to walk through that leads to the Helicarrier.
Before she can walk through however, the Goblin catches her.
"Tell Fury and Steve that Hydra is still alive and kicking. Look into the Secretary of Defense, Alexander Pierce. I think he's one of them."
With a slight nod, she Walks through without another word, she prepares to tell Fury the news.

On another subject, I had been able to finally finish enchanting a book that connected to the magical ley lines in the earth. This book would then find mutants, both new in their abilities and old. Not only that, but it will give an address, whether they were in danger or not, and much more. I had then created two teams to help find and rescue these mutants. On one team, we have Nightcrawler, a Genoshan born mutant named Samantha with the powers to phase through solid matter called Casper, a telekinetic/telepath from Quebec named Christopher who calls himself Psyche and a girl from California called Buff. Her real name was Rebecca and she was incredibly strong, capable of lifting nearly fifty tons and was covered in muscles. The second team consists of Blink, Gambit, a Genoshan born mutant named Julia with powers over plants, and an empath named George from Hawaii.
So far they have been able to rescue several dozen mutants in the middle of several dangerous situations like Anti Mutants protests or simple civil disputes. Blink's team was even able to save a guy who's fast and a girl that's weird from Sokovia.
When Wanda and Pietro Maximoff first arrived on Genosha, I was shocked. Pietro seemed to be a hybrid of his X-Men form and his Avengers form. I say this because he still wore what he did in avengers, but his hair was white, he was a little younger, and he was much faster than his MCU counterpart. Wanda on the other hand seemed to be a bit of a fusion between her comic and movie versions. Her MCU Backstory but her Comic and MCU powers. On top of Telekinesis and Telepathy, she also had an affinity for magic and could produce bolts of scarlet energy from her hands. If one is to get hit by these 'Hex Bolts' something unlucky happens to those hit. Because of her affinity towards magic, I had started tutoring her in my free time. Because Doom was essentially a master at this point, he also helped.
I was tempted to introduce them to Magneto, but he and the Brotherhood had already left Genosha to continue their mission in ensuring Mutant superiority. I wasn't too worried about them though, the X-Men would eventually stop him.
Nightcrawlers team on the other hand, were able to rescue another brother and sister and their grandparents from Russia.
Piotr "Peter" Nikolaievitch Rasputin and his sister Illyana Nikolievna Alexandria Rasputin and their grandparents, Grigory and Elena Rasputin were luckily found and convinced to come to Genosha before the Russian military came and forced them to become soldiers in their military. Unfortunately their parents had been killed when Piotr and Illyana were younger when they refused to allow their oldest Mikhail to join the Russian Military.
Because of Illyana's powers being Magical in nature, I had also started teaching her spells and how to control her abilities, both Illyana and Wanda were both making progress in leaps and bounds. Something their brothers took great pride in.
Besides mutants however, Genosha also took in people who were given powers by accidents like Sandman.
Another example would be Max Dillon, AKA Electro.
Electro was an electrician who was working on a power line when he was struck by lightning, this gave him the ability to generate and absorb electricity. The sheer amount of power he has is incredible, putting him on par with Magneto. Finding him and bringing him here was rather simple when he was promised a chance to keep his powers under control, he had nearly killed several people when he got a cup of coffee and the electrical feedback caused his powers to backlash very painfully.
Getting him an insulated suit to keep him from harming people, he had agreed to use the temporary fix until I could make a device capable of shutting off his powers or at least limiting it.
On another note, besides Widow, the people who found out I had taken over Genosha had mixed reactions.
Stark thought that the fact I had taken over my own country was awesome. The only issue he had with it was that I wasn't willing to share my tech with the world.
Banner was perfectly fine with it, especially when I showed him his new underground lab on Genosha designed to withstand a nuclear blast at point blank range from the inside. It had all his favorite toys as well. The Best part in his opinion was when I offered him to bring Betty on over and live in Genosha as well.
Hawkeye, due to being part of SHIELD, was against it. Though you wouldn't know it if you asked. I think its any kids dream to take over the world; Barton and Stark are just kids in adult bodies.
Steve was split. On one hand, as badly as the people on Genosha were treated, he agreed with me whole heartedly. On the other hand, he felt that with great power came great responsibility, like Spider-Man. If I took over one country, what's to stop me from taking over the world?
Spider-Man was on the same page as Steve, as was Harry.

On the Oscorp side of things, we had expanded from a simple American country to a global enterprise. We now sold our medicine and medical technology to nearly every country and donated outdated medical technology to third world countries. The tech was fine, they just didn't have the holotechnology or the medical A.I.'s. otherwise they act almost the same.
OzWatches were still a big hit, especially with the introduction of Alfred. Think Siri, but a bit more in depth, capable of answering your questions, researching anything you want to know, give you helpful tips, and all with the voice of Michael Caine.
On top of that, Oscorp has started working on better prosthetics for people who either lost a limb or require something like a hip replacement. Its still a work in process, but we almost have our first prototype after a month.
Dr. Connors and Dr. Octavius were both let into the secret of Genosha and my secret identity, and after showing them around, they decided that the benefits with working with all this tech was much better than leaving.
Greer was also let in on the secret…
She took it… fairly well in comparison to how I thought she would. I still got slapped, but it was expected, what happened after though, that shocked the hell out of me.

SLAP
Ow.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU'VE BEEN FLYING AROUND ON THAT GLIDER FOR YEARS AND NEVER TOLD ME?!"
"I was trying to protect you! I didn't want someone like Loki to come in and target you to get to me." I try to defend myself.
"Well that didn't work did it?" she counters angrily.
"I know, and I'm sorry…" I say as I step forward and start hugging her. "I didn't mean for you to get hurt, especially not because of me."
Sighing, she starts sniffling. "I know… but what if one day you don't come back? What if you fight someone stronger than you? More powerful? What if you can't beat them?"
"Then I guess I'll just have to make sure that never happens." I say as I rub her back. "I'm not going to leave anytime soon, But in the meantime, let's make the most of what we have."
Looking up at me with a mischievous look in her eyes, she grabs me by my collar and starts dragging me through the penthouse till we reach my bedroom.
"I couldn't agree more. Now, let's have some fun."
As she starts stripping her clothes off, I can only think of one thing.
"I love my life."

After a very pleasurable time for both our parts, (Along with promises of much more fun later on) which left me in a happy daze for a little while, I unfortunately needed to work on a few more experiments. The two big ones on my list are accessing my own X-Gene and finishing my Symbiote armor.
The first task is going along rather well. As it turns out, almost everyone on the planet has an X-Gene, but only half of the population, if that, actually activate the gene and become mutants. Mutates who get struck by lightning and suddenly have electricity powers like Electro are actually activating their mutant genes through outside sources. If I can do something similar, maybe I can activate my own mutant gene and give myself more power. Maybe if I were to somehow fuse another mutant X-Gene with my own, I could use there powers? Stuff to think about. So far I've been able to study my own X-Gene, but I have yet to actually run any experiments yet. It could be fear, but right now I'm just studying it.
As for the armor, it's ending up a bit more difficult than expected. So far I've been able to genetically clone the Symbiote, but make fundamental differences to its DNA. Unlike its genetic counterpart, it is completely immune to both heat and sonics. The last clone I had made had to be destroyed due to it going mad and trying to kill everything, though the fact it was red and kept referring itself as Carnage may have had something to do with it. This version is different as it has no personality, it is literally nothing more than a blob of goo. So in order to allow me more control over it, I had fused the newest clone with nanobots. The biggest issue I am having however is how time consuming it is. By the time this is done, it will be my most adaptable, durable, and powerful suit yet, capable of taking hits from Hulk, capable of absorbing outside energies or radiation to power it, combined with the enchantments I plan on adding, it will be nigh on unbeatable.
Unfortunately if my calculations are correct, it will take months before it will be done, even with help.
Which sucks.
Other than those two big things, I'm working on something to cancel out Electro's powers, that one is a bit harder to do, but still possible.
Fun, right?
