Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

Marvel:

Anthony Edward Stark, most commonly known as Tony Stark was sitting in his office with a glass of wine and watching something headache inducing for most people but fortunately he was not most people.

Tony gulped down the remaining of the drink and felt it warm his body as he watched the fights recorded on the group.

He was one of the chosen, 'I expected Steve to be the one. Maybe it's because he can't really contribute to these people.'

Tony tried to think up reasons why he was chosen among so many chivalrous and honorable heroes in his universe.

'Maybe its juts random like he said.'

'The magical technology is truly a marvel. I wish to see what they have in their worlds but will it be alright if I exchange my studies for theirs.'

Tony spun his chair and looked at the ceiling as he contemplated on the topic but was forced to stop when he saw a portal with golden energy.

'Is it Lord Seventh?' Tony was surprised but wasn't worried and stood up to greet his new friend

'Can't believe I am trusting people so easily? Maybe I should have Strange test it out for any mind mojo?'

"Oh, not him" Tony muttered in annoyance as he saw a muscular man walk out

"Hello, Iron Man. It is nice to meet you. Hope we can have long and happy stay together. Also got anything new for me to taste." Toriko said as he held Tony's hand and looked around

"Just sit down Toriko, I will make some calls and we can visit a restaurant nearby." Tony replied and sat back down to finish up some calls before he was forced to take care of the man that was emanating violence and gluttony

'Lord Seventh is truly a curse upon this world, he could have come personally or sent Don but why one of those two.

I had more than enough violent giants around me.'

'What's the fun in that?'

'I knew it.' Tony thought as he heard the voice in his head, not realizing that Naruto never said he did it but said it won't be interesting otherwise.

Inside the X Men Danger Zone:

Jean Grey also known as Marvel Girl was sure that she was going crazy; she had been having impulses these days. Strange ideas floated in her head, her powers were getting crazy.

Jean had isolated herself in a room as she felt the psychic forces go out of control. It felt like an overwhelming force was trying to take over and was succeeding as she felt her mind weaken.

"NO" Jean screamed as she tried to force it down with her will, thinking of her family and friends but all of it was pointless

Xavier had been watching Jean from afar as he felt the psychic waves and knew it was the force that she had been cursed with. The mental blocks were weakening and he was about to act when he felt that she lost consciousness.

'Maybe she balanced it out.' Charles thought as he decided to visit after awhile to see Jean

While in the room Jean had been knocked out by a flying phone, which had collided with her head.

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

Inside Jean's soul space, she was feeling weird as she saw the place burning.

"Why am I a dreaming of a fire?" It was a valid question as she didn't have any memory of such a thing to warrant it

"This is not your dream but your soul."

Jean turned around to see a man in his twenties but his bellied his age and made her think she was looking at someone older.

"Who?" Jean was wary now as the soul was not something to be messed around with and here she was with a stranger in this delicate place

"Naruto Uzumaki, Lord Seventh and Master of the Universe. I am here to help you because the only thing your future holds is a tragedy, which is something I don't want." Naruto introduced himself with some flare as he shone with golden energy that gave off a warm aura

Jean felt the energy connect with her emotions, 'Empathy, he is connecting his raw emotions with mine.'

"Jean Grey, I assume you already know that so I wish to know what is happening." Jean decided that she might as well go along with the master of the universe

"Hmm, let's see this would take very long to understand but we shall take the short path for now. You have had blocks on your power since childhood; this fire is the phoenix force within your body…"

"What is the phoenix force?"

"Tat, tat, child wait till we finish." Naruto looked at her and wagged his finger at her behavior, which made her feel like a child in front of her teacher

"Sorry"

"The Phoenix force is the cosmic entity that represents life and the force of destruction and creation. It is indestructible and immortal but with barely any intelligence. It is power incarnate as it has the power to destroy any part of the universe and it has already destroyed universes before.

It moves around on a whim and sometimes chooses its victims called vessels, who go through troubled lives and die soon.

It must have resonated with your powers and chosen you, luckily you have great connection with it so we may be able to solve this problem." Naruto explained carefully with the usage of whiteboard and images while wearing glasses for emphasis

Jean nodded as she got the topic slightly but many questions formed after hearing what he had said.

'Why is he wearing glasses?' Was the first question

"So what should I do?" Jean asked as she realized she was dealing with something beyond her capability

"Something out of a book" Naruto said slowly as he built up curiosity within the younger girl

Jean was waiting for the answer impatiently as Naruto smiled and spoke, "You will befriend the cosmic entity."

"What? I seem to have misheard"

"No, you didn't so let's get to it. Go and make it your loyal pet." Naruto said as he closed the distance between them and held her shoulders, and turned her around towards the fire

"No, you gotta be kidding me."

"I am quite serious now, just so you know. Look at this face" Naruto looked at her with a smile

'I am thinking that this guy must cause trouble for everyone. Look at those eyes, so blue and mischievous.'

"I think you should look into the mirror first."

"Guess you are right. What about now?" Naruto held a mirror and looked at his face then changed his expression and looked at the girl

'He is just playing with me now and not even trying to hide it.'

"Also just relax and you should have asked first, why I was wearing glasses. You disappoint me my pupil but worry not; we shall work hard on your intelligence." Naruto muttered in a serious tone

'Someone please save me'
