Tony Stark was not having a fun life while being imprisoned. At first, he thought they would tell him to make weapons for them but they made him draw a satellite schematics in details! He was weirded out by the request but still draw it, making a few errors here and there. He did not know they had hired someone else to look at the blueprint and when he said it was made with errors, Tony was put in a cold cell filled with freezing water for four days straight! They only brought him bread once a day and his body which was already weak because of his everyday vices became even more weaker.
When he was brought out, they set him to work immediately, not caring if his health was alright or not. He still had some shrapnels longed in his chest and it if wasn't for a electromagnetic machine on his chest made by Ho Yinsen, he would be dead. Ho Yinsen was the only friend he had in this lonely place even if their personalities crashed.
"Did you find out why they needed a satellite?" Tony asked him.
"Yep. Apparently, they want to have the advantage of the birds eye view like the other big countries and search for the two teenagers that destroyed then rebuild New York in an hour," Yinsen answered. Tony was scared when he heard this.
"What do they want to do when they find them?" he asked.
"Well, considering that they are extremist, they will make the teens hate the non Muslims and make them the new face of terrorism. If that boy uses those golden lightning, I don't think any army will be safe in their tanks," Yinsen said as he rubbed his temples. "They would start a world war and finish it themselves if what I think they are controlling is actually right."
"Yeah, I guessed it too. The boy might be an Atmokinesis mutant and the girl is a Telekinetic mutant. Telekinesis is already too scary but to have the ability to control the weather is already too godly. He can the battlefield into a freezing deathpit, any desert into an ocean to supply his army, any tropical forest into a desert and if he has much control of the weather, he can make tornadoes, flash floods, life threatening storms and many more things out of our minds," Tony answered with fear in his voice.
"We need to make sure they do not get their hands on the two," Yinsen said, solemnly. Two days later, Tony was told he would be creating a missile for the group, his missile, the Jericho. Tony knew how powerful it was and his fear just increased. When he saw the parts they were giving him, he got an idea.
"I know how we can escape," he told Yinsen as he lifted a piece of metal, a cunning smile on his face.
The two teens who were the focus of every government were currently enjoying life the best they could. It has been one month since his fight and they have both been going there every single day except today. Benjamin fought and Lucy betted and in one month, they had so much money that they could only waste it and waste they did. They started with an amusement park where they rode all the rides there and slid down every waterslide till Lucy's butt became sore. Then, they bought a suitcase full of clothes and Lucy made a real estate agent think they were legal enough to own a house of two million which was a one floor house with four bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, living room and dining. Lucy also made her think that furnishing the house for them would make the real estate firm popular and so, they had their new home.
"I don't know if I want to go back to that place," Lucy said as she chewed on some popcorn, her legs on Benjamin's laps who was watching the television.
"Me neither. The fighters are too weak to even take a punch from me," he said then tickled her foot, making her squirm them away.
"What should we do?" she asked him.
"I really don't know. As long as I get a good fight, I am down to any of your suggestions," he answered. Lucy was overjoyed to hear that.
"I have this crazy idea. You know how YouTube is trending, right? How about we make our channel and show everyone our powers," she said.
"That's a stupid move. What if those SS...You want us to get into a fight?" he asked her.
"That's right. I get to film us using our powers, the government tries to capture us, you kick anyone they sent's butt and we get more viewers and subscribers," she said.
"What if they ban the channel?" he asked.
"I already thought of that. Earlier today, I read the mind of a boy. His name is Douglas Aaron Ramsey. You can say he is a genius but he is actually a mutant who can decipher anything from foreign languages to computer data. All we need to do is invite him over and if he agrees, we are in business," she said. Benjamin looked at her with a smile.
"Look at you taking charge. You are a like a mini petite secretary," he joked and he paid for it as she made him writhe on the couch with a killer headache.
"C'mon, I know where he lives," she said as she took her car keys. Benjamin got up as he glared at her, holding his forehead. "I thought you're a big boy, what happened to your machismo?"
"It got buried under a headache," he answered as he followed her out of the house. At the driveway was a Land Rover which Benjamin insisted they should buy because of it's durability and off-road maneuevability which he insisted they might need. Lucy could have argued but she figured he might as well get a reward for all the matches he had won so she bought it. She got behind the wheel as he went to the back out of conditioned reflexes but she did not stop him and they set off.
Benjamin did realise he was in the backseat without anyone sitting shotgun and quickly crawled to the seat. The drive was not long as they stopped next to a museum. Benjamin looked at it with a frown.
"I guess a mutant of his calibre will be drawn to museums where most of the ancient texts are kept and he can decipher it all to himself," he said as they got out.
"Actually, he wants to sell the information to the dark web," she told him and Benjamin nodded in affirnment.
"I like him already," he said as he led the charge into the museum. As like any other museum, the place was filled with people but Lucy's telepathy made the make way for her. After an hour's search, they finally found him and he was talking to a man on a wheelchair.
"That's him," Lucy said.
"I'll take care of wheels, you talk to the guy," Benjamin said as he went forward. He got hold of the wheelchair from behind and started pushing it after removing the brakes.
"C'mon grandpa, we have a long journey ahead of us," Benjamin said as he continued pushing it forward. The Professor was stunned and dumbfounded by what was happening and so was his team making sure he was safe.
"Did the Professor just get kidnapped so...simply?" Logan asked the guy with glasses beside him.
"Shit, we need to get to him," the guy said and the two ran after the two of them.
"Son, you don't know who you are dealing with," the Professor told Benjamin who just shrugged.
"I really don't care," he answered. They were now out of the museum. "This should be a good place to leave you. Take care, old timer." With that, he walked towards the parking lot, leaving the professor stunned! Logan and the glasses guy arrived minutes later and they were surprised to see the professor alone.
"Did they do anything to you, Chuck?" Logan asked as he checked under the seat.
"No, actually. I tried to get into his head but something like a dam wall stopped me. I thought he was with Eric but here we are," the Professor answered. "
"Scott, I need you to go check on our young friend," the Professor said and the glasses guy nodded before running inside the museum. He tried searching for him but he didn't find him. He asked a security guy and he was told that the boy was talking to a girl before he nodded and followed her out. Scott was weirded out by the while ordeal and went to tell the Professor.
"A girl, huh? Maybe the boy was with the girl and I was in the way so they pushed me away," the Professor said. "Either way, I am interested in all three of them. Let's go back to the mansion, maybe Celebro can shine light into this matter." The two nodded as Scott started pushing the wheelchair away.
"So, this might be our first video for those people watching. My name is Lucy and this is my brother, Benjamin. We are both mutants as we found out later. Anyway, today we are going to show you guys our mutant powers," Lucy said as she looked at the camera, Benjamin was beside her looking bored.
"As you can see, we are in the middle of nowhere which took us two days to reach. Why we are doing this here is because our powers are very destructive, especially his," Lucy said as she pointed at Benjamin who did a Curt wave.
"I'm gonna go first for I know most of you love explosions and I don't want to be outshined," Lucy said and the camera was redirected towards a large boulder. Lucy came next to it with a smile.
"My first power is telekinesis," she said with an excited smile in her face. She faced the five metres tall boulder and touched her temple. The boulder started shaking immediately for a second or two before it started rising slowly before it shot to the sky as if fired from a Canon. The cameras then started spinning, showing more boulders, bigger and smaller than the first one rising into the air and then they started spinning around her. Lucy was overjoyed by this and she did a small excited stomping dance then looked at the camera.
"I didn't know I can lift all this. It's almost equal to..."
"Ten tonnes," the cameraman said.
"That much!" even Lucy was flabbergasted. "Talk about brain power, guys. I wonder what else I can do?" She rose her hand and the boulders came together into a semi ball made of rocks. She clenched her hand into a fist and the boulders got compressed over and over again till they were all in a two metres diameter ball!
"How much does this weigh, Cypher?" Lucy asked the cameraman.
"Because it is compressed, it's volume ratio mass ratio increased but unlike any other that it might have a smaller weight, I believe it weighs around 10.5tonnes," Cypher answered.
"It increased by half a tonne?" Benjamin asked in disappointment.
"If you think it is light, here," Lucy groaned and waved her hand towards Benjamin. The compressed rock shot towards Benjamin at a speed greater than the eye can follow and the camera turned to where Benjamin came to a halt, sharing the skid trench he made as he rose the rock over his head.
"That showed three of my brother's powers. He has super human reflexes, durability and strength. Cypher, if Benny here can punch a normal human with the force of ten tonnes, what would be the outcome?" she asked.
"If he doesn't explode into a blood mist then I don't think he can live even a second after," Cypher answered.
"Shit, bro, you are overpowered," Lucy said with laugh.
"That's not even the beginning," Benjamin said as he took a stance as if he was pitching a baseball then threw the rock with all his strength. A shockwave appeared in the air as the boulder disappeared into the horizon in seconds!
"What in the world!" Lucy exclaimed. "You idiot, what if you kill someone with that rock!" Lucy cried out as she threw small rocks at him using her telekinesis.
"Don't worry, with the amount of force he threw it with and considering the Earth is a sphere, the rock is already out of the atmosphere by now. The speed it is going with makes it impossible for the gravity force to act on it and once it is out of the atmosphere where there is no friction, it's speed will keep on increasing so he will have killed noone except if it smashes into a planet full of aliens," Cypher said. Lucy relaxed when she heard that but still kept on glaring at Benjamin.
"Let's go to his next powers. Benny, if you would, please," she said.
"Sure. What I will produce next is something I called a Ki ball," Benjamin said then stretched out his arm. A ball of light appeared in his palm, making Lucy 'Ohhh' in amazement. He then threw the ball far away then an explosion that sent all three of them to the ground came next.
"Holy Shit!" Benjamin said as he got up and helped Lucy up too. The dust was settling as Cypher got up, making sure the camera was not pointed to his face. When the air was cleared, they looked at the effect of the ki ball and they were all shocked.
"Damn, dude, how much juice did you put into that?" Cypher asked.
"I barely even added anything into it," Benjamin said. "Will they say this is domestic terrorism when they see this?"
"Surely hope not," Lucy said as she flicked her finger. The camera floated out of Cypher's hands and floated on top of a two hundred metres crater!
