Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill - Volume 3 Chapter 78 78 Pink Eye Short Chap

AN: This was supposed to be half a chapter but the second half got too weird

_____

Tony returned to the room. He noticed that there were multiple people waiting for him and watching him closely.

Tony: “Aliens?”

Everyone: “Aliens.”

While they got a general idea about aliens, it was clear that Fury barely understood what was happening. But from the memories, it was clear that Tony has a handle on things. They decided to have Tony fill in the gaps of their understandings.

Tony: “Haaah. Here I am teaching to the professors. What has the world gotten to?”

After Tony cleared up some of their misunderstandings about aliens, they settled down and started discussing more about aliens.

Tony was planning to take a break and go get a drink. He just stood up when he heard Jean start talking.

She sounded mad.

Jean: “Tony. WHO. IS. CAROL?”

(AN: Run Tony! Run!)

The mutants got their cue and started to leave.

Tony, wanting to avoid the situation, found cover with the mutants that were exiting. He blended in and slowly walked out with the rest.

He was a few steps from the door when it closed and his body started floating. Jean used her telekinetic abilities to stop Tony on his tracks.

Tony tried to apply gravity on his body to counteract pull his body back to the ground.

It didn’t work. Jean powers were able to match Tony’s. The difference was she was able to apply her telekinetic abilities much more flexibly compared to Tony’s gravity manipulation.

Tony’s body started spinning around. He spun around multiple axes. The direction of rotation also kept on changing preventing Tony from being able to orient himself. He wasn’t able to stabilize and make his body land.

Tony regretted helping Jean train her powers.

As she grew, her powers kept increasing. Xavier helped Jean control her powers and also taught her the basics of her powers.

The way she utilized her powers didn’t impress Tony so he taught her stuff.

He went on the direction of increasing the amount of items she could control separately at first. Then, he taught her more creative ways to use her powers.

Now, Jean has full control over her powers as well as an arsenal of techniques to use against different kinds of mutants.

She is currently using those techniques Tony taught her to suppress Tony.

Tony: [Damn me for being too good.]

Tony knew it was his fault and decided to give up. He patiently waited until Jean finished letting off some steam.

It took sometime but Tony was finally let down.

Tony looked at Jean and saw a few tears rolling down from her eyes.

Tony didn’t know what to say. He wanted to apologize but before he could say anything, he felt some people listening behind the door.

Tony decided to bring her somewhere private and then have the talk.

He created a portal. He pulled Jean along before she could even register what was happening.

Eavesdroppers POV

After they heard left the room, Ororo, Scott , and Xavier waited outside.

Xavier felt Jean’s emotions and knew what was going to happen. He bid the other two youngsters farewell as he slowly rolled away. He already had his fair share of drama when he was younger to care. He also had to process the new information they just received.

The two waited until Xavier was out of site. When it was all clear, the two stuck their heads on the door. They weren’t going to miss this.

Ororo was just curious considering she knew the two for more than a couple of years now.

Scott on the other hand wanted something on Tony.

He had a bone to pick with Tony since Tony was the reason Scott had to use Pink Eye as his official codename. He used it until Tony got bored and allowed him to switch.

After that, Scott switched his codename to Cyclops. It was a better codename but his other codename Pink Eye already stuck. His friends would call him Pink Eye to address him outside missions.

This happened when Scott was new to the school.

Scott just got his powers and didn’t know how to control them. He has beams of energy coming out of his eyes and had no idea what to do.

He had to keep his eye closed to stop himself from destroying everything on sight. He was essentially blind for quite some time until his brother, Ale Summers, learned of his condition and brought him to Xavier’s school.

Hank McCoy was able to come up with the glasses that suppressed Scott’s powers.

When Scott received the glasses that stopped his powers, he was able to regain his eyesight. As he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Jean Grey.

It was love at first sight.

Scott wanted to ask Jean out.

Unfortunately for him, he was too late and Jean was already part of the royal couple.

Scott, being the popular new kid, was more arrogant than usual. He thought like an immature teenager that he could court Jean away from Tony.

Since Scott was going to break up royalty, he decided to play along and went medieval.

He challenged Tony to a duel for the Maiden’s Hand.

Jean, learning about the challenge, was annoyed with Scott and sort of happy that her relationship with Tony was acknowledged. She asked Tony to fight for her and beat Scott up.

Tony didn’t even want to participate at first but Scott was persistent. Tony complied with the condition that Scott would be working with the codename Pink Eye if he lost.

Scott didn’t know about the importance of codenames at the time so he agreed.

Before the fight, Tony talked to Steve and asked to borrow his shield. Steve was wondering why and Tony just answer girl problems. Steve stopped asking and lent his shield with the condition of not letting anyone else touch it..

Tony wasn’t planning to show his powers or suit to anyone. He can’t just use Stark weapons since those are lethal but most things below it were basically toys.

Tony decided on the shield since it is made of Vibranium that could protect him against Scott’s eye blasts. And play with the shield.

The fight started and Tony realized that the shield turned out to be useless.

Scott’s attacks was so predictable that Tony didn’t even need to use the shield. He just moved to the side and Scott’s attacks would miss.

Tony got bored that at one point, he decided to throw his shield at his opponent just to make things interesting.

Scott became a moving target as Tony started testing out Captain America’s moves.

Scott was able to dodge the shield but Tony had some prior experience with the shield. It wasn’t as fast as when Steve does it but the shield would still fly back to Tony.

The fight became sort of like a dodge ball, but with Tony throwing a shield and Scott jumping around running for his life.

Tony started getting serious when he got warmed up. He started testing out trick shots. He tried multiple bounces as well as 3 sided corner bounces.

Hitting Scott become the secondary objective.

Eventually, some professors stopped the fight after seeing Scott too exhausted to continue.

Scott was defeated and Tony made sure everyone in school was aware of their bet. Scott’s codename became Pink Eye.

It felt like bullying but Tony didn’t care since Scott was sort of ask for it.

Back to present

Scott: “You hear anything?”

Ororo: “Sounds like something flying all over the place. Probably Tony”

Scott: “Wait I think it stopped.”

Ororo: “You’re right. Now I hear someone walking.”

They tried their best to eavesdrop but got nothing. They kept listening for half an hour before they decided to enter the room.

They knocked on the door incase the two were doing something private but heard no response.

They slowly opened the door and saw an empty room. They felt stupid trying to eavesdrop on an empty room.
