Chapter 2: The World of Marvel
"Ow, Ow, Ow. At least he could have dropped me somewhere soft." That fall almost made me lose my spine.
[He indeed didn't set the location properly.]
The sudden female voice almost spooked me.
"Erm… Who are you?"
[I wasn't named by the creator, so you can assign a name to me. As for what I am. I am the system assigned to record your progress.]
"Can I interact with you within my thoughts?"
[Yes, you can.]
'That's convenient. So, I need to give you a name right?'
[You can choose not to and just call me System.]
'Nah, that's a bit weird. I will call you 'Zara'.'
[I see, that's a good name. Thank you, Adam.]
'Is there a way to view my stats?'
[You just need to think about it and a status screen will appear in front of you.]
I see. I did as she told me and the status screen appeared in front of me.
[Name: Adam Scott (Xavier)
Age: 19
Race: Mutant (Homo Superior)

Zara?
[Yes, Adam?]
I have one 'very important' question that I need to ask. But before that, I want to ask what happens to the real Matthew?
[He will not have any powers and thus remains a human.]
That's not bad. After all, the powers gave nothing but pain to that guy.
Now… onto the main question.

Why is there the name 'Xavier' written within the bracket against my name?
The moment I asked the question, another screen popped up.
[Adam Scott Xavier, a recently awakened mutant who was born from an affair between Charles Francis Xavier and Alyssa Scott. He was born after Charles Francis Xavier knocked up a bar dancer, when drunk. He went back to New York the next week and Alyssa didn't know that she was pregnant until it was too late. She tried to look for Xavier but was unsuccessful. Soon, Adam was born, but Alyssa didn't survive due to excess blood loss. Adam had been living with his grandmother after his mother's death, but due to his grandmother recently passing away, he had to move to New York.]
Damn… I knew Charles had a multitude of lovers throughout the years, but being born as the son of Charles feels weird. Do I go and meet him?
[It's your choice. The moment you fell from the rift, you released quite a strong psychic wave. So, the X-Men and/or the Brotherhood should be here soon.]
'That's not too bad, as I was going to reveal my existence to them anyways.'
'I will just wait here till they come.'
[You seem very casual about your situation. Most of the others would be panicking by now.]
'They would, but I am not like them. Anyways, till they come, would you mind explaining to me how I can access my powers?'
[Sure.]

[[ Xavier's Academy]]
Unknown to many, Charles had a habit of collecting paintings, more specifically 'failed paintings.'
"*Sigh* This was actually quite good but he still threw it away." Charles looked sad seeing a 'decent' painting being thrown away.
"Oh well, as they say… one man's trash is another man's treasure." He took the painting and hanged it inside his 'painting collection' room.
The room was humongous with hundreds of paintings hung around the walls.
After praising the paintings for a few more minutes, he decided to return, just to be stopped in his tracks by the buzzer of Cerebro.

"Ororo, prepare the Blackbird."

[[The Brotherhood Hideout]]
Raven Darkholme, or as the world knows her, 'Mystique,' was spying on a certain dark-blue skinned mutant. Her eyes were glued to the laptop screen as she replayed the battle between him and sabertooth.
The moment Sabertooth 'almost' ripped his heart out, she nearly fainted. But when Wolverine saved him, she took a breath of relief.
But that relief lasted only for a second as an alarm started buzzing with red lights lighting up everywhere.
Raven knew very well what that meant. A very powerful mutant had awakened.
"Raven."
The deep voice of her leader came from the speaker.
"Inform Sabertooth."
She sighed as she closed the laptop. "Affirmative."
…
…
"They are definitely taking their sweet time."
[I detect multiple energy signatures flying towards us. If they maintain their speed, they should reach us within 8 minutes and 46seconds.]
'Hm. I see."
[Adam]
'Yeah?'
[What are your thoughts and plans for the mutants?]
'You can't read my mind?'
[I can only hear your thoughts when you allow me to. Without your consent, I cannot do anything. Unless something can harm your life, I cannot interfere.]
'Interesting. But you wanted to know about my thoughts on mutants right? But before I answer. Answer just a single question of mine. What are mutants?'
[Mutants are beings with the X-genes in their body. Now there are various 'Mutants' who do not have the X-gene inside them but are still considered mutants. But no matter which one you take, mutants are beings with supernatural powers who came into power when the Celestials tweaked with the genes of various life-forms in the name of research.]
'In this universe, mutants and humans are basically opposite sides of the same coin.
Both insecure… Humans fear that mutants might take control of this world and make them 'powerless'. As for mutants, they are scared of human oppression. Humans are far more in numbers compared to them, and even if they do possess powers… Not everyone is willing to start a war against an entire species.'
[Where are you going with this?]
'Homo-superior.'
[???]
'A very stupid term. The word mutant is quite offensive according to me. And the term 'Homo-superior' is the same. Mutants are indeed superior to humans in terms of strength. But most of the time, the cost of these powers are so heavy… That one would rather prefer to stay a human than being cursed with these powers.'
I sighed.
'My goal is to create an entirely new place for the mutants. Where they don't have to live in hiding and can roam around freely. The ones who want to stay with humans can gladly do so. But the ones who want their own place, I will create one for them.'
Damn, they are slow… or maybe I am a little impatient.
'But I will also purge anyone and everyone that stands in my way, humans and mutants alike.'
[That is a dangerous goal you have in mind.]
'Indeed. But my plans after that are even more dangerous. I will decide the powers of all mutants… I will decide whether a child gets mutant powers or not.'
[But this totally contradicts the 'freedom' that you had planned for the mutants.]
'It does. But in order to maintain balance, I cannot allow anyone stronger than me to be born. Some already did… but they will be the last.' I laughed thinking about some of the overpowered beings that roam around this planet without a leash.
"It will all be for the 'Greater Good'."

[[Ororo Munroe's PoV]]
Professor said that this mutant is strong, extremely so. I have no idea as to what his powers could be, but according to the professor, he is at least a peak Alpha level mutant. Which automatically puts him in the dangerous mutants list.

It took around eight minutes to reach his location… just to see a black-haired teenager sitting on a bench of a non-functional gas station.
The moment he saw us, he smiled.
"You guys are late."
[A/N: Thank You, Lasagna.
I will rewrite this later.
