there flit to the school took 23 minutes in all and as soon as the avengers stepped foot inside the school they were greeted by what had to be the whole student body. 

and by tony's count that was 15 to 17 kids. that was a lot more then when he'd come here as a kid. 

and also different then the he'd attend was that none of the kids looked like they had powers. when Tony'd come here most of the kids had something that made them stand out in a crowd. weather because they had claws fangs wings or we're simply just an strange color. but there was none of that with these kids. good for them.

when Tony saw Charles roll up he couldn't help but smile. and if he hadn't been in so much pain he would have walked over and took the lead instead of cap. but just trying to keep himself up right was proving to be a lot hared then he thought it would have. and he wasn't sure how much longer he had till his legs gave out.

"welcome avengers'. Charles said. as four other mutants stepped forward, three of them Tony would know anywhere's jean, Scott and ororo.  but the forth was new to him. the guy looked like a scowl with muscles.  

"these four behind me are jean grey, Scott summers, Logan and ororo munroe." each of them nodded when their name was spoke.

cap introduced everyone that's when Charles caught sight of Tony standing in the back of the rest of the avengers, and smiled till Tony brought a finger to his head, indicating that he want to talk to him telepathically for a moment. 

Charles looked a little confused, probably because he and Tony had already talked to make sure that Charles didn't say anything about him being a mutant. but he did it any ways because in the next moment Tony heard Charles voice in his head.

'Anthony  is something wrong. "

'you could say that. ant chance I can skip this part and head up to my room.''

'of corse you can, but first I want to know why what's wrong?'

Tony groaned. 'ok so sometimes the arc reactor rubs my ribs lungs and anything else it touches raw. which cause's a lot of pain. and if I have to stand here much longer your floor is going to be wearing me for a new throw rug. and I'm telling you like this because none of the other avengers know and I don't want them to. and talking out loud hurt's like a mother...... you get the point'

"I'm sorry that's happening  Anthony ,is there anything I can do to help"

'no I just need some sleep haven't slept in like 3 days.'

'are you going to be able to make it up the flight of stairs on your own'

'oh yeah the stairs. you may want  to send scowly bear over there up with me.'

'very well'

Logan stepped over to the stairs with out the prof having said a word out loud that is. 

Tony to went to step over to the stairs. Tony had just made it past cap when a hand grabbed his upper arm. shit

it was Clint who had been standing just behind cap.

' were do you thing your going' Clint ask in a hushed very pissed voice. Tony made a hand juster Toro's the stairs or at these that's where he'd been aiming, but it would seem that everything was against him to day because where he had pointed was at jean. and judging by the look on Clint's face he thought Tony was on his way over to flirt with jean.

'really Tony you can't act profusely for five minutes?'

and that did it. Tony had had enough. 

yanking his arm out of Clints hold he turned to face the avengers. and said loud enough for all to hear, because hey Clint started it and had been just as loud. ' I've had just about enough of you. I wasn't going to flirt with jean. I was trying to point at the stairs, besides I don't mess with women who are engaged and judging by how laser tag stepped up to her when this all started I'd say he's the soon to be hubby. now I'm going up stairs.'

and Tony was very pleased to see the very stunned look one Clint's face, that is till he turned and saw the same look one on jean, ororo, and Scotts face's. 

was it something I said?

'what did you just say' Scott asked voice sounding haunted, as Tony reached Logan an the stairs. 'I said I'm going up stairs.'

'No before that what did you call me'? that's when it hit him he'd called Scott laser tag. fuck.

laser tag? why. Tony asked trying to play dumb but it was hard because his little tyrant had made the pain move to the next level, blackout.

"there's only one person who ever called him laser tag" jean said. and the pain and gilt  in her voice was so strong that Tony almost told her the truth. the truth that Cj didn't die that she hadn't hurt him, that he'd always wanted to befriend her but was to scared of her finding out.

"so what does that have to do with me". Tony had to get out of here. NOW, because the edges of his vision was going black and there was two of everyone where there once was only one. and he could feel what little control of his power slipping ever since he stepped foot in the same room as jean.

"nothing. it has nothing to do with you. it's just that the person the use to call Scott that died a long time ago, you saying it just now caught us off guard is all."  

Jean never once looked away from Tony  the whole time she spoke, and for a fright full moment he thought she was looking into his mind. but she wasn't he was always able to tell when someone was trying to get into his head, it almost felt like an itch that was always out of reach.

Tony was the first to look away. he wordlessly headed up the stairs Logan not far behind.

Natasha was the one to break the silence. " prof where is Tony going."?

"up stairs to lie down, I'm afraid he isn't feel well" the avengers, even Natasha looked shocked. Charles smiled at the confused looks of the avengers. 

" how..I mean..what... how did you even know something was wrong with Tony"? bruce asked.

" I can read minds" that made Natasha go stiff. she held far to many secrets and could never let anyone know any of them.

"do not worry, I almost never read some ones mind without permission to do so"

"then why did you read Tony's? is it because you heard of his family's views on mutants." the captain asked a little nervously.

and of Cours Tony would have them all believe that he has the same views as Howard did on mutants. 

"I didn't captain, Tony asked to speak with me. he wan't feeling well and asked were he would be staying and if it was alright for him to go to his room how, which of Cours it was." 

" but we where all standing right here and Tony never asked you anything" the captain continued.  if Charles had known that there was going to be shich a problem with all of this he would have insisted Tony to come help one his own, that is after all why he call Tony two days ago, to ask for his help. but Tony had insisted that he bring the rest of the avengers, (all but Thor who would be along) to come as well. 

" I asura you capt he he asked"

"now why don't you all head up to your rooms and get settled in, then we can talk about what are next steps will be. but I'm afraid that will half to wait till later this afternoon perhaps even diner, I have class to teach. jean would you pleas take the avengers up stairs and then show them around, I'll cover your class's for the rest of the day."

"yes prof."

"Right this way everyone" Jean lead them all up the stairs.
