Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill

Back to present

After Tony's introduced Fury to the rest, Fury made some small talk with the people. He learned about Sparky and Pink Eye's real names being Ororo and Scott.

It took a while and a person rolled into the room and interrupted their conversation

Xavier: "I was wondering if Agent Fury got lost. I should have expected some delays since Tony was here."

Jean/Ororo/Scott: "Professor."

Fury: "Professor?"

Tony: "Yeah. Fury.

This is Professor Hot Wheels. "

Jean: "Tony!!"

Tony: "What? He's fine with it. I even offered to build him a new set of wheels that can go 0 to 100 kph in under 30 seconds. Maybe even under 11 if I change the form to be more aerodynamic. Don't worry, I'll modify the seats and add some harness for safety. What do you say Professor, want a new ride?"

Tony could actually make it faster but didn't offer to since the professor would instantly decline if he offered something extreme.

Xavier: "Thanks but I would like to decline the offer. I'm quite satisfied with my current 'ride'. "

Tony offered something faster or even just a new paint job but the professor wouldn't agree. Eventually, Tony gave up trying to modify the man's wheelchair.

Xavier: "Shall we get back to business. Agent Fury, may I ask the purpose of your visit?"

Fury started by talking about the papers Xavier published. He then slowly hinted that those enhanced individuals Xavier referred to as mutants exist.

Since Tony seemed to have a good relationship with the professor, he thought that the man might may already be aware of Tony's abilities.

Fury gave it a try and asked if they could locate individuals.

Xavier: "I'm sorry Agent Fury. You are correct in your suspicions that we have a way to locate those mutants. But I will not help you recruit soldiers. "

Fury: "I'm not... How did you know I was even planning to recruit people?"

Fury looked at Tony suspiciously. He knew Tony was aware of his project but let it slide since he has high security clearance. This was different.

Xavier was just the owner and teacher at a school. The man didn't have such clearance.

Tony sighed. Fury did come here for the Avengers.

Tony: "Mind readers Fury. Mind Readers"

Fury: "We have those?"

Tony: "Come on. Mind readers are more common than aliens and you've already seen an army of aliens. There's actually more telepaths than there are of aliens like Goose."

(AN: It's like all groups in X-men movies have telepaths with them.)

Fury: "Well sorry for being new to weird.

I'm aware of people who can cold read. Not actual mind reading.

Since your clearly the expert in weird, mind helping me?"

Tony: "Nope.

You'll have to do something for me if I do tell you. And this request will be big, sort of. It's actually really small if you count interstellar threats"

Fury thought about it. Considering that aliens could literally fall from the sky, this information might be worth it. He agreed.

Tony: "I kept a video of 'stuff' so make sure you don't forget that.

Now, welcome to Weird Stuff 101.

First, the most dangerous threat to humans are humans. Seriously, leave them alone and humans would eventually kill themselves.

Number two. There are 2 kinds of special humans. Mutants and Inhumans. They both have powers but one needs a special crystal to enable theirs. Oh and I need one of those. SHIELD has one and I'll be borrowing that."

Fury: "Borrow?"

Tony: "Yeah. I can get it even without your help so don't bother negotiating. This isn't my request, now back to class...."

While the humans were talking about muntants, the mutants were surprised to hear about aliens.

They heard Tony talking about aliens before but didn't believe them. Mutants learned that they appeared due to nuclear radiation after all. They thought that humans were still alone.

Also, no one could read Tony's mind. Other than Jean who knows his facial expressions, they couldn't tell if he was telling the truth. But now, Fury was here with an unshielded mind.

Xavier and Jean were able to check his memories and learn more about the aliens. It turns out, there was even a space battle not too long ago.

The mutants finally found out the source of those weird signals. They detected some signs using their sensors but didn't know what caused it. They also had no appropriate equipment to check.

The mutants were dependent on Xavier and Cerebro for scouting. But the device/facility was designed for Earth, it's range can reach space but outer space was too vast compared to the surface area of Earth. They also haven't officially installed JARVIS into their systems so Tony can't just let them access his equipment.

Xavier started sharing the information to the others. They were learning about these aliens who could be a threat to humanity.

After Tony finished his class, Fury understood the situation. This was a school and it was indeed inappropriate to recruit anyone here.

Since Fury can't ask the students, he asked the headmaster if there were any graduates that would consider the job and their contact details..

Xavier: "Ah. For that, You have to ask Mr. Stark. He is more familiar with some graduates more than I am."

Fury: "Why is it still you?"

Fury had it with Tony. He just seemed to have his hands on everything. First the aliens, then the flying planes and spacesh.i.p.s. Now, there is also the mutants. It wasn't enough that he has a pet monster, he was also rich.

Tony: "Well, how should I say this. Almost all of them work at my company. And I don't think S.H.I.E.L.D can match my company's salary including benefits "

Fury: "Well can you tell me about those that aren't on your payroll."

Tony had JARVIS give him a list but Tony also told him not to expect much. This were the people who weren't hired because of their mutation. They also didn't have any special knowledge useful.

They were the rejects of the rejects to the point that Tony didn't even bother tracking them. It was just in JARVIS's sub-routine in case those people had other mutant friends.

After Tony entered the school, he helped hide the existence of mutants. It wasn't just the students, he also had some contributions on the working class.

Mystique went on missions to free mutants. While she freed the mutants, that was only the first half. The other half was what the mutants did after they're free.

The underage can be and were accepted to the school but the a.d.u.l.ts weren't. They to work again and continue on their lives. They could either return to where their from or Mystique would help them migrate somewhere else. It took not only time but also money. Some of the money came from Xavier's inheritance. With the school already costing a lot, that money was going away faster than it comes.

When Tony overheard the problem, he offered to take them in to his company, SpaceS. He has full control of that company that he could hire anyone he wants. This made life easy for those mutants, since Tony has full control of the company he had JARVIS arrange specific jobs for them. Jobs that utilized their powers.

Those mutants thought it was just a rich mutant helping them out. But Tony actually sort of preferred mutants over humans.

Most mutants had powers that are suitable not just for certain jobs. They provide better result when working on those.

Telepaths were arrange to HR. They would interview the applicants. Not only would they know which ones are worth their pay(lying in CV), they were also able to detect corporate and international spies.

Water breathers were sent to do underwater welding. SpaceS has some retrieval site on the ocean. Those are places the rocket booster stages land. They are subject to some extreme forces that the workers onsite wanted to be assured that the place they're staying at underwent constant maintenance.

Tony saved on insurance since they literally can't drown. Some peoples bodies are also designed for underwater that they weren't affected much by compression and decompression. This helped finish more serious jobs that would have taken more days, reducing the non operational time of the site.

Teleporters, other than transporting personell in emergencies, could also deliver s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e information by hand. It was a company open to public after all. Tony didn't intend to his cutting edge tech on things that didn't actually matter. In the end those situations that didn't qualify for quantum communicators but had to transfer huge amounts of data had to use this.

Those who has temperature related powers can work at cryogenics or heating facilities. SpaceS' rocket fuel are stored at very low temperatures and having them as blocks of ice around them helps save some money. They can buy large amounts of fuel when the prices in the market are low and avoid being subject to the whims of those who draw fossil fuel.

Those with energy based abilities could also help power the facilities.

Tony had set up some old school Arc Reactors that had large sizes. Outside, it looked like the one in Stark Industries but inside, Tony designed those things to be very massive batteries.

Tony sets up different ways to harvest energy from the powers, like vibranium energy sinks to harvest energy from Scott's eye blasts. He's even got steam turbines for general purpose power generation.

Sometimes, Ororo(Sparky/Storm) even does some side jobs whenever she needed the money. A couple of extra powerful lighting strikes and batteries are all at maximum capacity.

Tony usually hires her as the weather girl. JARVIS started learning how to predict the weather in order to make rocket launches safer. The predictions are supposed to have 100% accuracy at those specific times but JARVIS wasn't complete. So, at those times when JARVIS is wrong, Ororo would help out.

Tony's company has to work with some very specialized jobs that employing mutants with considerably higher wages still end up saving the company money. This didn't even include some additional benefits to make sure they stay.

But the mutants didn't even want to leave unless the company needed them to. They were too grateful to live decently, since most were considered freaks or lab rats, and with high paying jobs.

It is also comfortable to work at a place where they don't need to be alert always trying to hide their powers. Some of the mutants who had really rough lives even took it to the extreme. They considered protecting the company, willing to fight if the company ever caught the eye of those crazy scientist.

Tony didn't know it but he already has a secret mutant army ready for him.

________

With the information from Tony, Fury got what he wanted. A few more routine questions and he went on his way.

On the way back, Tony asked Fury to search for a man named Stryker. Tony gave him a bit of background and told him to search for the man not only on the living but also on the list of the dead. Also, he asked Fury to be careful and not let anyone know.

Tony wanted to get to Stryker to know some details on Adamantium.

During his research on materials, one of his clones remembered something. He remembered adamantium needing a certain meteorite. If it did, then Tony would have to also search for that in addition to vibranium.

But Tony wasn't sure if that was actually true since that was a memory of a movie that was later erased according to another movie, Deadpool2.

While he had a handle on things, Tony was still so confused with which things are true in regards to mutants that he decided to just ask the man he knew worked on Adamantium. Unfortunately, JARVIS never found records of a Stryker in the military.

Since the military hasn't gone fully digital, Tony figured that the man might have had his records on paper elsewhere. Tony thought about sending some HYDRA goons on research but since Fury was here, it was easier to do things legit.

It was also a bit of punishment on the guy for telling Director Carter about Tony.

________

(AN: Yeah might be over the top considering the secret status. But X-men movies just make the life of a mutant too tough that I think this just might work.)

Also: I'm do note that not all mutants are hired in the company.

Some could have abilities for things like medicine or acupunctures, or farming.

Some are just for PR stunts.

But there are just some that are clearly horror house material mutants like that weird eye guy(forgot who) who has eyes EVERYWHERE. Other than floating in a CCTV room watching monitors all around him, I don't see any job for him.
