A Father In Marvel

|First Pov Theodore|

Rose and Chloe's hands we're in mine as we walked at a steady pace with the X-mansion's residence following behind.

Even though I went with the vintage look that the Professor clearly tried to maintain I still wanted to drift into a new era.

It's not a huge difference but instead of paintings being on the wall it had framed newspaper articles of the X-Men adventures and saves.

Something I had thought would help motivate the youngsters and maybe even inspires some of them to be the next X-men.

The shape of the mansion from a bird's eye view was a long sided oval much like an athletics track or race track whichever floats your boat.

The long straight sides of the oval-shaped X-mansion was made up fairly large classrooms while the five-story portion is living quarters with entertainment room and a large nursery for the babies/toddlers

"Lily, open all the classroom doors, please," I said

After I spoke the doors opened up to reveal the clean and spacious themed classrooms.

"Sorry but who is Lily," Asked Hank while looking around for anyone he didn't recognize.

"Lily will be the standby A.I assistant for everyone. She can be a teacher assistant and a personal tutor for students. However, she will only provide assistance to only simple tasks. Don't want the student to take advantage of it and cheat their homework" I said simply before continuing to ask "I assume you guys do homework"

"Ah yes, we do" Said Jean while still looking into the themed classrooms.

"Good, Lily introduce your self," I said

A soft and calming voice of a woman sounded "Hello, I am Lily and my purpose is to assist the residents of the X-Mansion"

"Hi, Lily" The students were surprisingly very welcoming to the A.I.

"Each classroom is themed after it's corresponding subjects. The lack of staff is fulfilled by a hologram of famous or not so famous teachers" I said before a hologram of Albert Einstein appeared with his ever so famous crazy hair.

"Ah, you lot must be my students. I am Albert Einstein your teacher for physics. If your lucky we can get into my Nobel Prize work on Relativity" Said Albert before disappearing.

"This is not permeant as it lacks the human touch but it will do it's best to teach. If you look to your right you will see the courtyard it's a lot smaller then what you had before but will get onto that later. If you look past you will see another set of the classrooms" I said while pointing past the courtyard.

"Those classes are specifically the more practical/creative subjects like Home economic, art, woodwork, graphic design and so on. You saw the gym and the gymnasium so let's jump right to the fun stuff, " I said with a clap of my hands

"Dad can I climb the tree," Said Rose who pointed at the big tree that sat in the centre of the courtyard.

"Afterwards," I said while ruffling her hair.

"I want books, please," Said Chloe with an eager expression

"Let's go to the book store after this," I said

"I know this might be a little intrusive but can you explain your ability" Said Professor

"Sure," I said while looking around the room before my eyes fell on Scott's face.

Before anyone had realised it Scotts shades were in my hands.

I then present the glasses to everyone who then looks back at Scotts eye's who was somehow not destroying the building.

"What did you do?!" Asked Scott with a shocked face as he blinked constantly thinking it was a dream.

"Despite what you might think your eyes do not produce the energy even though it does appear come from your eyes. In fact, your true ability is to open a portal in front of your eyes which connected to a space filled with that energy. All I did was close the portal. I govern over space so closing that portal of yours is easy" I said smugly before throwing the shades back at him.

Everyone just stared at me with their mouths gaped which is understandable as my space ability is absolutely broken.

"Look I'll do the same thing," I said before using Armament Haki on my hand.

The skin on my right hand turned into a black metallic alloy that had an odd red shine to it.

I then open a portal above my hands that then had the same red energy that comes out Scott's eyes.

I misjudged the power of which came out of the portal as it connects with my hand and immediately gets deflected.

I quickly open another portal at the end of the energy beam and close off the source.

"Haha sorry, that was kinda dumb," I said with nervous laughter.

Chloe tugged at my trouser and signalled me to kneel down.

As I kneel down Chloe gives an unhappy pout with a karate chop to my forehead she said: "That was very dangerous, dad. Rose is a bad influence"

Rose scratched the back of her head nervously and said "Leave the cool stunts to me, dad, cause you're too clumsy"

'It's nice that they care but since when was Rose the sensible one' I exclaimed internally

"No, Rose you have to stop too or dad will follow" Said Chloe with a tough tone.

'Okay so did I just become the kid. I'm very confused. It's good to see Chloe being more outspoken in front of people. Rose could do with being a little quieter. Nevertheless, I'm proud' I thought as I pulled the kids into a strong hug.

"Don't worry Dad will be more careful to not be as clumsy as Rose?" I said with a teasing smile.

"I'm not clumsy those were test runs," Said Rose while whipping her head away in a prideful manner.

"Not the best example of my capabilities but you understood, right?" I said

"Wait! what was the black skin thing?" Said Kitty while grabbing my arm and pinching it.

"I can't tell you everything. A man needs it's secret, how else am I supposed to keep up the mystery" I said while giving the others a wink.

"Right, follow me we have quite a bit to get through," I said while escorting my curious kids.

Getting past the long classroom corridors we finally made it to the living quarters of the building. The first floor had a retro arcade room, a living room, sunroom, bowling room, large library, a computer room and two separate day rooms.

The rest of the floors were living quarters and on each floor, a portal was placed to get around faster. They were 100 rooms on each floor with each room having two single beds.

The top floor was for the teacher and toddlers. As it would be better to have them close to the teachers.

The students had already claimed their rooms with some of them sharing with friends and others getting a room to themselves.

Before things could die down I reported everyone to the gymnasium to give an announcement. A bit weird to be giving an announcement when I'm not a teacher but I felt like it.

"Right, so I did promise, Miss Munroe, that I would deal with the outdoor space problems so I guess here is my solution," I said While giving a wave to my left which then opened a portal.

On the other end was a large piece of dry land with a vast ocean surrounding it.

"You will build it. Call it a group project I will provide some help in making the land to be more adaptable but after that then you need to tend to the soil, plan plants. Make a treehouse, build a forte get creative I will give you materials so just go wild" I said excitedly

The students gave a joyful cheer as they shout in unison "Thank you, Uncle!!"

The X-Men on the other side gave an approving nod while clapping their hands to my great idea.

"Okay, go to your room's, I think your teachers want to talk to me," I said while making myself and kids with the X-Men appear in the courtyard.

"Go climbs the tree just be careful. Chloe, there are some pretty fishes in the pond here's your sketchbook and pencil" I said before they run around the courtyard.

"A group project huh?" Said, Logan

"Well, they need it. They have spent most of their life hiding and being under you guys guidance that they have no room to grow. They need this time to be independent you can help them just don't take over. It will both build character and skills" I said While watching Rose slip down the tree.

"You are quite well educated in children," Said Ororo (Storm)

"It took a lot of time reading as many parenting books as possible before realising that it's mostly trial and error with parenting. Some things work and some don't" I said like a veteran father while shrugging.

"So what do you get out of this" Said Scott rudely and spitefully.

'What the f.u.c.k is this dude on' I thought with disgust exuding from my eyes.

"Well for starters I think you need an attitude adjustment," I said while giving him a cold glance before continuing"And secondly I want to make you guys stronger. So here"

I pass them a set of gravity watches and give a brief introduction. Then I gave my reason for helping you know the same one I gave to the Avengers "The stronger they are less involved I am"

Logan looked at me briefly and asked "You know who I am. Don't you?"

'Holy shit his instincts are clearly at there peak today' I thought shocked at how amazing animal Instincts are.

"Yes, I know who you use to be but does it matter any more. I'll tell you nonetheless but are you ready" I said with a sincere smile

Logan didn't reply he just scoffed and walked out with his head down as he whispered to himself "I need a drink'
