Tony Stark's POV

So, Rogers thinks that he can use Maximoff in order to manipulate me into being the Rogue Avengers' personal servant and force me into giving up Iron-Man and I won't find out about it?

Well, It's best to keep it that way. I have a higher advantage that way. Actually, I had the higher advantage against Rogers from the beginning.

One; Maximoff's mind-raping abilities have no effect on me anymore because of my own Infinity Stone powers. So, that part of Rogers' delusional plan won't work.

Two; Rogers and Romanov can try to help Maximoff escape the school, but will be caught as soon as they enter the school since Xavier would be able to sense their presences, so that's another flaw in Rogers' plan.

Three; even if I didn't have the Infinity Stone powers and Maximoff somehow managed to use her powers on me, my real teammates would have immediately noticed something wrong with me and acted would have acted fast to help me.

Four; all of the teams registered in the New Avengers roster are either immune to Maximoff's powers or have gotten help from Strange to block her powers. So, if Maximoff tries to brainwash them into forgetting me and the New Avengers, it won't be possible in any shape or form.

And five; no amount of mind manipulation will stop me from being Iron-Man. If they so much as try to force me into stopping me from being Iron-Man, then they'll not only come face-to-face with the full wrath and power that I can do as Iron-Man, but will come face-to-face with the wrath and power of all of the teams.

Basically, whether the rest of the Rogues have planned for me won't work. No matter what they do, it won't work. But, of course, the Rogues don't like to think that I'm stronger than I look or that I'm not the man that they assumed that I was.

Well, it's doesn't matter. It helps me in the end. If they think that I'm still the egotistic, weak, and ignorant person that they assumed that I am, then I'll let them. It gives me the higher advantage if they think that I'm still oblivious to their plan.

Well, all I can say is... Let the fun begin.

Steve Rogers' POV

This is so frustrating! No-one would tell me where Wanda is being held captive. I'm Captain America and  the leader of the Avengers and all of these so-called "New Avengers" need to listen to me and respect me, especially those disrespectful kids.

Once Natasha and I find Wanda and help her escape the prison that she's being held at, then we'll all help Tony realize that the Accords were wrong and help the Avengers escape from the control of the government.

It will all work out in the end, but first, Natasha and I just need to find out where Wanda is being held captive at.

I was walking down one of the hallways when I spotted Tony, talking with one of the kids. Jessica, I think her name was. When I'm reinstated as the leader of the Avengers, she'll be one of the first people that'll be removed from the Avengers. Kids shouldn't be allowed to be Avengers in the first place and she was too disrespectful to me and the rest of the team.

I couldn't help but listen into the conversation that they were having. Maybe it might help me find out the prison where Wanda is being held captive at.

"Tony, are you sure that it was a good idea to send Maximoff to that school?", Jessica asked. Maybe Jessica realized that it was unfair to send Wanda, a kid just like her, to a prison for no apparent reason. "I mean, Maximoff is a dangerous individual. She could escape at any moment"

"Trust me, Jess. It'll be fine. Xavier can handle her". Xavier? Is that the name of the person who is holding Wanda captive?

"Alright, if you say so"

"It'll be alright, Jess. Besides the Xavier Institute is the most secure mansion in Salem Center"

"Salem Center? Is that the town in Westchester County, New York?"

"Yeah, that town right there. Of course, the mansion is located on a very private land owned by Xavier himself, so anyone could find it"

"Really? What's the address of this mansion? I haven't really had time to get to know the X-Men teams"

"Oh, the address is 1407 Graymalkin Lane. By the way, don't tell Rogers and Romanov about the address. The last thing that I want to do is cause any issues with Xavier"

"Tony, you're acting as if I like them, let alone want to interact with them. Telling them the address is the last thing that I would do"

"Great, thanks, Jess". Once I heard Tony tell Jessica the address, I quickly went back into the west wing to avoid them seeing them. Great, now that I have the address, Natasha and I can help Wanda escape. Soon, the world will realize who the real heroes are.

Tony Stark's POV

"He's gone, Boss", Friday informed us. Jessica and I started to laugh and I high-fived her.

"Nice job, Jess. You should be an actress. That was totally believable"

"Come on, Tony. You were the one who carried the entire performance"

"Well, Of course I did. I act in front of the media everyday. This is just another Tuesday for me"

"Do you really think Rogers believed all of that?"

"Of course, he did. I bet you that he and Romanov will be planning to break Maximoff out of there and Xavier and the rest of the X-Men will be there, ready for them when they come"

"Well, that's what happened when you plan to brainwash and manipulate the genius, billionaire, ex-playboy and philanthropist. But if they want to add more charges to their already long list of charges, then be my guest"

"Ok, that's my quote. No-one else says it, but me. But you're not wrong"

"I'm just saying. Anyways, what's the plan now?"

"Well, now we just let Xavier and the rest of the X-Men take care of the rest"
