Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill - Volume 3 Chapter 116 Rogue 1
AN: I think I’ll try to post shorter chapters for now. Hopefully this way, I don’t get stuck trying to finish a long chapter and end up not posting.

Tony: “So, what happened”
Minn-Erva: “We’re not sure. One moment she was grabbed by this human, the next she passed out. After she got up… how should I say this? Remember that Kamehameha thing she shouts every time she… Screw it, she looked stupid.”
Tony: “Did you get it on video?”
Minn-Erva: “No. I think you’re missing the point here.”
Tony: “About her powers? I think I have an idea. It was a woman who grabbed her, right? And then right after Carol passed out, this woman started glowing just like Carol?”
Minn-Erva: “How did you…”
Jean: “Wait. You know who that person is?”
Tony: “Sort of? Not personally. Only by name. I was actually planning to look for her after things settled down. Guess I don’t have to anymore.”
BOOM
Tony: “And if I’m correct, which I usually am, that should be her breaking something. Probably a wall or the roof.”
Emma: “Can I add that blast just now as one of the reasons why I don’t want them staying here? This place is always either under construction or under attack.”
Jean: “Really? Right now?”
Emma: “Well Tony doesn’t seem to be taking this seriously. Why can’t I?
Minn-Erva: “Can you humans just drop it and continue this later?”

When they arrived at the room where the sound seems to be coming from, they saw the remains of what was previously a guest room. Now, it couldn’t even be considered a room. The roof was gone. The wall is also demolished to the point where it was mostly hole than a wall.
When they got in, there were already other people inside but none of them looked like the person Tony was referring to. What he did notice is that Magneto is also inside the room.
Tony: “Seriously? I thought we’re all friends now. What has it been, one month? Just one month and you’ve already started fighting again. Don’t you people get tired of this. Hmm? Oh hi Goose, how did you get here?”
Fury: “What do you think? I brought her here.”
Tony: “Motherf***?”
When Tony heard Fury’s voice, he was startled for a bit. He expected Fury to be in the area since Goose is here but he didn’t notice Fury when he first checked out the room. Sure Tony may not be paying attention to who is inside the room, but Fury is a special case not to notice. The X-men may have a mix of races but Fury is the only black person in the premises much less the room. Tony should have noticed Fury the moment he entered.
Tony: “Fury. I should have known. Are you hiding in the dark just to make a dramatic entrance?
You know what, ignore that. So, what happened this time?”
Magneto: “Sorry Stark. This one’s my fault. One of my subordinates didn’t get the memo. She’s supposed to be in deep undercover. Its been a long since we made contact, we haven’t had the chance to tell her about the ceasefire. ”
Tony: “You sent someone to go undercover here?”
Magneto: “Yeah. Her. We don’t know her real name. We just call her Rouge”
Magneto pointed through the wall and onto the garden. There, Tony saw the figure of a woman who is supposed to be Rogue. She was currently firing out beams from her hands and having a shooting fight with Cyclops.
The newcomers took a peek.
Jean: “That girl? She looks hot.”
Tony: “I know, right. By the way, who’s winning?”
Magneto: “Cyclops landed a lot of serious hits, but Rogue is starting to get used to her new powers. As far as I could tell, it could still go both ways.”
Fury: “Aren’t you supposed here to stop them from fighting? Why are you waiting here talking like you’re watching sports.”
Tony: “Just watch the show Fury. Otherwise, go find the Professor and ask him what to do. Where is he anyway?”
Magneto: “Out checking up on your friend. I’m not sure how Rogue’s powers affect non-mutant so I had Charles check-up on her.”
Tony: “Then I guess Beast is Mystique the one who makes the calls. Any of you here? ”
Beast: “Let them finish. At this point, it’s easier to replace the whole wall. We have Jean and Magneto here anyway so it shouldn’t take much time.”
Fury: “What, that’s it? You wait for them to break the wall and then replace the whole thing?”
Tony: “Haven’t you investigated their activities already? Where do you think they use all those construction material.”
Fury: “I don’t know. Some kind of hidden base?”
Tony: “You know, just because SHIELD is starting to set up bases all over the world, doesn’t mean everyone else does it too.
These guys break their house a lot. They do this stuff all the time that they’re basically professionals in construction at this point.”
Fury: “And I thought I was weird for owning an alien cat that eats people and aliens ten times its size.”
Tony: “You mean Goose?”
Fury: “Of course I mean Goose. Why? Do you have some other alien pet?”
Tony: “Not yet. But that’s not the point. The point is, you don’t own Goose. Goose owns you.”

After watching the two fight for some time, the people watching knew that Rouge was starting to get the upper hand. Rouge was already jumping higher and higher, giving her an aerial advantage. Cyclops could still match her blast per blast but for those who witnessed Carol flying before, it wouldn’t take long for Rouge to use Carol’s powers to fly properly.
Emma: “This is getting boring.”
Jean: “You want to make things interesting?”
Emma: “Go ahead”
Jean: “Let’s call the girls. Have them try to neutralize the girl. Let’s teach them how to use their powers. If you got them to make her land, we go on your way with them not going to this school. If I get to make them land her, they’ll attend this school as my students.”
Emma: “Fine. But you can’t use that power you used on me”
“I won’t”
Jean telepathically called for the Cuckoos. Within a few minutes, the Cuckoos got to the room and went to Tony.
Tony: “Why are you coming to me? Go to Jean and Emma. They’re the ones who called you.”
The five of them turned their heads and looked at Jean at the same time. Fury, who was taking a look, was creeped out by the synchronized head-turning.
Fury: “Mo_________ ”
Fury wasn’t even able to finish his word when he lost his voice.
Emma: “Minors.
Ignore him girls.”
Jean: “So, want to go first?”
Emma: “No. I want to see how your way works.”
Jean: “Really? You wouldn’t be able to even try if I go first.”
Emma: “Enough with the bluff. You’re just trying to make me go so that you could learn from my mistakes.”
Jean: “Make sure you remember that when you lose”
Girls. See that person flying over there? I want you to try and make her land. If you do, daddy will be happy and is going to get you puppies.”
Tony: “What did you say?”
Cuckoos: “””””Land”””””
Immediately after the Cuckoos issued their command, Rouge went crashing towards the ground.
Jean:
