"What are your plans for now?" Tony asked John.
"Well, I am going to move to a bigger apartment or even a mansion. I don't feel like living here," John answered.
"You want to sell this place?" Tony asked.
"Maybe in the future, but not now," John answered.
"Do you have a place in mind?" John asked.
"Why don't you come and live with me?" Tony suggested, but John quickly rejected the idea.
"Oh no, thanks for the offer, but I prefer to have my own space. Plus, it would be better if there is a proper space for me to conduct my training," John replied.
"Alright. There is a place in Queens worth around 30 million dollars which would suit your tastes," Tony suggested after thinking for a moment.
"Queens, huh? That could be interesting. Tell me more about this place," John replied, intrigued by Tony's suggestion.
"Well, it's a luxurious mansion with plenty of space for training. It has a state-of-the-art gym, a large backyard perfect for outdoor workouts, and even a dedicated meditation room. Moreover, there are various other facilities," Tony explained.
"That sounds perfect! I've been looking for a place that offers both comfort and functionality," John exclaimed.
"I thought you might like it. Plus, the neighborhood is great too. It's quiet and safe, but also conveniently located near shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment options," Tony added.
"It definitely sounds like a dream come true. I'll have to check it out," John said, already picturing himself in the spacious mansion.
"I will message you the contact details of the Real Estate Agent," Tony replied. "Also, don't worry about this place for now as SHIELD will handle all the cleaning process efficiently," Tony continued.
"Great. By the way, I am really hungry. Why don't we go somewhere to eat?" John asked.
"Sure, I know a good place," Tony agreed, and both of them set out to have lunch in Tony's favorite restaurant.
First of all, Tony returned to Stark Tower, and after changing into something other than his Iron Man suit, he went back to pick up John using his car.
After changing his rugged clothes, John hopped into Tony's car.
"What more do you know about the mutants?" John casually asked Tony.
"Well, starting with their population, there are almost five hundred mutants in our world. Of which, one hundred and fifty are residing in America. Though these numbers only include those people who are openly known and identified. There might be mutants who have hidden their identities. However, I don't think the total number would exceed a thousand," Tony answered.
"What about those present in America?" John asked.
"In America, there are two groups of mutants. Of them, the two most powerful are 'Xavier's school' and the other one is 'Magneto's Brotherhood,' Tony continued.
"Xavier's school, also known as the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, is run by Professor Charles Xavier, who is a mutant himself and also the leader of the X-Men. The school is a safe haven for mutants, where they can learn to control their powers and live in harmony with humans. The X-Men are the team of mutants who are trained to protect both mutants and humans from threats," Tony explained.
"On the other hand, Magneto's Brotherhood is a group of mutants led by Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto. They believe in mutant superiority and aim to establish a separate mutant nation. They see mutants as the next stage of human evolution and believe that they should rule over humans," Tony added.
"Besides these two groups, there are also some independent mutants who do not align themselves with either faction. They may use their powers for personal gain or simply keep a low profile and live among humans without revealing their true nature," Tony said.
"Are there any other significant mutants or mutant organizations?" John asked.
"There are a few other notable mutants in America. For example, there's Wolverine, who is a member of the X-Men and known for his regenerative healing factor and retractable adamantium claws. There's also Storm, who can control the weather. As for the organisations, there is no one other except these two," Tony replied.
"Overall, the mutant population is diverse, with individuals having a wide range of powers and beliefs," Tony concluded.
Tony provided John with a tab containing most of the information about the powerful individual mutants in America. Although John had seen the X-Men movies, he still decided to take a look at this universe, as it was a bit different from the one in the Marvel movies. It was a combination of the Marvel and X-Men worlds.
"Are there comic elements in this world too? Because if there are mutants in this world, surely there would be Jean Grey. And if Jean Grey is here, then the presence of the Phoenix Force would also be felt. Of course, a glimpse of it was shown in the X-Men movies too, but John was still doubtful."
John was not sure about this, as the system had provided him with no such information. Also, if this world involved comic elements, then his abilities seemed insignificant compared to the overpowered cosmic beings.
Still, he had no idea how strong he would become once he increased the proficiency of all his abilities to one hundred percent. The system had informed him that reaching one hundred percent proficiency did not mean he would have the power of peak Whitebeard in the One Piece world. Instead, it represented the pinnacle of what one could achieve with these abilities. According to my interpretation, this meant he would definitely be much stronger than Whitebeard at his peak.
"This system's explanation is really a bit vague," John sighed as he began to read through the information on the tab.
He noticed many familiar characters, such as Professor X, Magneto, and Wolverine. However, what surprised him the most were characters like Jean Grey and Scott, who were the same age as John. Charles Xavier and Erik were also younger in the Apocalypse movie.
"Based on their ages, I can at least conclude that the events of the movie X Men: Apocalypse have not happened yet," John pondered.

He shook off his thoughts as they reached the restaurant.
