In Marvel as a summoning Mage

Angry bird

After returning to Tony's house, we were greeted by Yinsen and Potts. Potts still wasn't used to us appearing out of portals, her eyes widening for a moment before she composed herself.

"Every time, it's like watching a magic show," she muttered, half amused, half exasperated.

Da Vinci immediately went to find Tony, clearly eager to share whatever ideas she'd come up with during our trip. She had mentioned before that Tony had the potential to surpass even her in the future, and he was already starting to come up with different ideas to grow his company to the top again. It didn't take long before Da Vinci became a business partner with Tony, and now they were developing medical tech to sell to common people at low prices.

Meanwhile, Morgan, Ereshkigal, Karen, and I sat on the sofa. Potts turned to me, curiosity in her eyes. "So, where did you all go this time?"

"We went to meet the X-Men for some business," I answered, trying to sound casual.

But before I could elaborate, Ereshkigal and Morgan chimed in, both with mischievous grins on their faces. "We went with him to keep an eye on him," Ereshkigal said, her tone light but pointed.

Morgan nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we had to make sure he didn't start flirting with women."

Potts raised an eyebrow at me, her gaze sharp. I could feel the sweat starting to form on the back of my neck. "A womanizer, huh?"

I opened my mouth to defend myself, but Morgan and Ereshkigal quickly pinched my cheeks, cutting me off. "If we hadn't been there, you'd probably be flirting with that Kitty or Jean," Morgan teased.

I didn't answer because, well… they weren't entirely wrong. But before I could fully react, Potts looked at me, then at Tony's direction, and said with a wry smile, "You've got the same habits as Tony. Morgan, Ereshkigal,  keep him in check."

"Definitely" both said at same time.

To make matters worse, Karen, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, suddenly asked, "What's a womanizer?"

I felt my face heat up as Potts smirked, and I wished I could disappear right then and there.

I sighed, knowing there was no use in hiding the truth from them. "Alright, alright. I'll admit, I might flirt with others if I saw them let their guard down," I said, giving them a sheepish grin. "But I would never cheat on my loved ones."

Morgan and Ereshkigal's teasing expressions softened, and they exchanged a look before smiling at me warmly. "Good," Ereshkigal said, releasing my cheek and giving me a playful nudge. "Just remember who's got your back."

Morgan leaned in, wrapping her arm around mine. "As long as you remember where your heart really lies, we're good. Or you will feel the world of pain, Understand?"

I nodded at her.

Potts, who had been watching the exchange, smiled warmly. "It's nice to see you being honest, Ritsuka. I believe you."

Her words made me feel a sense of relief, knowing that despite all the teasing, they understood me. For a moment, the room was filled with a comforting sense of camaraderie, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for having these people in my life.

Just as I was basking in the warmth of the moment, my phone buzzed. I picked it up, seeing a message from Xavier. As I read it, my expression grew serious.

"The X-Men team just returned from space. They saved the astronauts, and Jean's got the Phoenix Force now. But she's stable—no changes in her powers. Karna asked you guys to return here."

Morgan and Ereshkigal immediately picked up on my change in demeanor. "What's going on?" Ereshkigal asked, her playful tone replaced with concern.

I relayed the news to them, and Potts frowned slightly, though she seemed relieved that what's going on. "Is everything alright?" she asked.
