Catherine Xavier: The Last of the Mutant Race

The Unknown Man in a Iron Can

Catherine P.O.V

June 15, 2008

I looked out the window seeing the rain hit the pavement, it looked so in line like it was it's job to fall in a line to earth like it was stuck here, but after it long journey back to the clouds it repeated, but it had a purpose. Something I don't have, but I wish I had a purpose to show the world who I am. I sigh drowning in my thoughts until Phil came into my room, Phil took me in when the school burned down and he was like my dad.
"Hey, so I have to go in for a mission. So they want you in the lab, because they found something you might be interested in; here-," Phil handed me a ball which I rolled in my hands until images popped in front of me. The images showed me a man in a iron suit flying around and also there was a video of him shooting a missile at a tank. Very impressive if I would say. Then engineering on the suit is breath taking, very well made. I studied the photos a little longer until I deactivated the ball and said, "So what do they want me to do?," "Director Fury told me he wants the identity of him or her so we could ask them to join." Phil said handing me reports on this person. I sigh, "I guess I have some homework when I get there," I said throwing on my rain coat.
We get to SHIELD headquarters in less then ten minutes. Which was a plus for me since I got out of another story about the great Captain America, and how he was injected with the super soldier surm and became a big macho man. Defeating HYDRA and all his men and how he died a patriotic death for his country. I dramatic sighed as he continued his story in the elevator. "Oh Catherine how I wish I could've met him and shook his hand!," Phil said sounding like he was swooning. Gosh this is awkward. I looked at him with my eyes narrowed. "Phil you're sounding like a 13 year old fan girl, come on focus you have a mission and I have a Iron Can to find!," I said sternly. "Iron Can?," Phil said looking confused. "Yeah, that's the superhero name I'm giving him.... or her," I said looking at the notes. He just gave me a light chuckle and exited the elevator.
I entered the lab to find a lady with red curly hair sitting at my computer trying to enter it, but it was no use since I linked my computer to my brain. She didn't notice me so I quickly morphed into my uniform and walked over to her with a gun in my hand. I pointed it a her head and said, "State your authorization and your orders." She turned her head and quickly tried to grab my gun but I was quicker and pinned her to the ground. "Who are you?," I said paralyzing her body with my mind. She struggled until she figured it was no use. "You are Natasha Romanov, new SHIELD agent, but was originally a brainwashed Soviet spy. Am I correct?," I said reading her mind. "How do you know who I am? Who are you?," she said giving me her poker face. "I am Dr. Catherine Marie Xavier, SHIELD scientist and a mutant. That's how I could read your mind, I have one of the strongest and smartest brains this world could offer," I said letting her go. She quickly stood up and looked at me, "You have a strong firewall on your computer," she said looking over to it. "I know, because my mind is the only one that can control it," I said morphing back to my normal clothes. She watched me in interested and said, "I'm suppose to be working with you, help you find that thing," she pointed to the picture of Iron Can. This is going to be fun!
After about three hours we found a lead, a man named Tony Stark, a billionaire. I looked at Natasha, "I know where he lives so stay here, I'm going to go get him so I can bring him in for questioning," I said packing my business case and putting on my professional science coat. "I'm going with you, you're going to need back up," she said strapped her gun to her right leg. I sigh in frustration, she hasn't listened to a word I said for the last three hours, she's really getting on my nerves. "No Natasha, I can do this on my own, I'm grown-," "No you're not, you are a seventeen year old, that is not grown," she said rudely cutting me off. I glared at her and said, "You don't know me and I don't know you, but I know for a fact I have higher authority than you, so Miss. Romanov please stand down," I said in a firm voice. She gave me a death glare as she unstrapped her guns. She walked out of the room talking in Russian. I smiled in triumph and walked out of the lab closing the door.
I arrived at Stark's house, jumping out of the car to see a ravishing home . I quickly headed to the door and nocked. I heard voices inside but one was being a sarcastic idiot by making a snide comment. Must be Stark. I nocked again but this time I got an answer. "Who are you?," A man with brown eyes and matching hair said, "I'm Dr. Catherine Xavier, I here on behalf on your iron friend," I said looking at him. "Wow I don't even have to leave the house and girls are just coming for me, I mean you look a little young, but hey you do have a nice body!," He said looking me up and down. I rolled my eyes, "No, I know you have a iron suit and I'm here with a special organization called SHIELD to look at it," I said handing him a peice of paper with SHIELD's information on it.
I push passed him as he stared at the sheet of paper. "Hey! Have you ever heard of manners? You just don't walk into people's homes without permission," Stark said looking at me. I shugged and said, "You take to long and you need to get better security, because I just overrided it in like two seconds, so I have all you're files," "Where?," he said looking puzzled as I don't have a computer or any technical equipment. "With my mind, you see, I have learned to use 81% of my brain. That means I can basically use my mind as a computer," I said looking back at him. "So that means you're incredibly smart, but I bet you're not smarter then me!," he said in a childish voice. I sigh in frustration, why the hell is everyone on my nerves today? I ignored him and asked his computer device JARVIS about the suit. "It's on the bottom floor Miss. Xavier, shall I take you there?," he asked me. "Yes please," I said politely. I stepped into the elevator with Stark at my heals, "So, how long have you been working at SHIELD?," he said crossing his arms. "That's classified for agents only," I said in a stern voice.
The elevator finally opened on the ground floor after a thirdy second interrogation from Stark. I took a step out to see his lab, it was very interesting. I looked around until my eyes cought the sight of the suit and I smiled. Quickly strolling over to it, Stark straying behind me. "I know this is not iron by the look of this what type of metal of it?," I ask picking up the the hand of it. "It's made of gold-titanium alloy, figuring that iron is heavy and rusts easily, I needed a substance that could withstand extreme situations," he said matter-afactly. "Could you come with me to my base with your suit so I can officially question you?," I said confidently. "Why?,"
"Mr. Stark I know your confederation with the Ten ring terrorists we want to protect you and help you defeat them," I said looking him in the eyes.
"Fine I'll go, but we got to keep this under raps. Most people don't know that I'm Iron man, " Tony said with a smirk.
"Well, our organization is all about secrets Mr. Stark, so it's not hard to keep you out of the lime light, but the look of it you love it," I said pointing at a wall filled with Iron man reports.    
He rolled his eyes and said, "Come on Albert Einstein, lets go to your secret base, hey is it going to be like a James Bond movie? I'll be Bond if you are Honey Ryder," He winked at me as I kept a serious face. If I wasn't here on business I would've already kicked his ass! I thought as my feet quickly brought me back into the elevator. I faced the wall as Stark faced the doors. "So..... can I call you Kitty Cat since your name is Catherine?," He asked.
"No, you may only address me as Dr. Xavier. Nothing else!," I said getting annoyed
"Okay Dr. Kitty Cat!," He said with a smirk.
"Is everything a joke to you?," I retorted.
"No only funny things are," he said with a smirk on his face.
"You know I can nock that smirk right off your face," I said getting mad.
"Are you getting feisty! Awe little Kitty Cat is getting mad!" He said mocking me as putting his hand on my shoulder. I rolled my eyes and smacked his hand off my shoulder, getting out of the elevator. I am not going to deal with his childish games.
"Come on Iron Can we have business to settle," I say walking out of the house.
"Iron Can?," He asked looking at me with surprise expression.
"Yeah, suits you better," I walk to SHIELD's car.
I clear my throat, "What?," Stark says as I look at him.
"Are you forgetting something?," I said pointing at his body, he gasps.
"I'm naked!," he said realizing he doesn't have his suit. I rolled my eyes feeling like it was the millionth time I did that today. This is going to be a long mission.........

(A/N) Hey guys sorry this one took so long but I kinda got a little writers block but I like this chapter because it brought in 2/6 of the avengers but do you think I should continue with this chapter make it like three chapters?
