Chapter 7: New Mission

The breathing technique worked slowly but surely and the magic finally dimmed and I closed my fist on the fireball that had decreased in size. The fireball was contained within my fist and there was a miniature explosion withing my fist.

I was very happy to discover that I was immune to my own magic and I didn't feel an ounce of pain. What I had attempted was very risky, I won't ever make the same mistake, I will be sure that I train more and more facets of my abilities in the near future.

Just then I recieved a notification from my system.

[New Mission Assigned: Check mission tab for more information]

I followed the directions of the system

[Save Tony Stark (Ironman): Tony Stark, soon to become Ironman will be kidnapped in the near future. Use the time until his capture to train your magical abilities to be able to save him.]

[Rewards:]

[Memory Fragments of the last 2 years before the assassination attempt.]

[Gain acquaintance with Tony Stark which will allow you to insert yourself into the plot of Marvel]

[Note: The kidnapping of Tony Stark will happen in 6 months, use that time wisely. Be sure to find a way to discover the whereabouts of Tony after he is captured and ensure your identity will not be compromised]

'Damn, I'm going to be an integral part of the MCU I guess. It also seems as that i am at the beginning of the MCU as the events of Ironman have yet to occur.'

I then looked around my empty hospital room and lifted my hand in front of me, opened my hand and watched as the last embers of my magic faded.

"In order for me to accomplish this task successfully, I will need a few things. I guess it's time to pay a visit to the New York Sanctum. Then once i save Tony i can begin my research into finding the people who put the hit out on me." I said as I clenched my fist in determination .

....

(2 Days Later)

I had already been released from the hospital and had made it back to my family home. Now I don't know what I was expecting, maybe a mansion of some sort, but I found out that my parents lived in a castle like home. It was reminiscent of the Xavier Mansion in Westchester, it was even in the same location, which led me to believe that the past soul had meta knowledge of Marvel. We had our own land and even a forest on the outskirts of our home. Remote, hidden away from my family, and encompassed a very large area. Perfect for magic training.

Evidently the prior owner of this body had chosen this home and as their only son, my new parents couldn't deny him.

Considering the personality of the past soul as well as his secret identity as the boss of a secret organization, I'm willing to bet that there are secret passageways or room in this home so he could work away from his parents veiw.

Just one more reason to complete my new mission as I will gain the memories of the last two years and I refuse to believe that he had never went into those secret areas in all that time.

Now the reason I needed to visit the New York Sanctum was to aquire magic that could be used to alter my appearance, voice, clothes, etc. As well as learn a form of magic that could be used to track someone.

The only issue I ran into was, how am I going to convince my parents or Arthur to allow me to leave without an escort. After my attempted assassination, there is no way that they would let me walk around on my own.

I stopped in thought about this issue, until something clicked.

'That's right, all I need to do is find the route from my home to the Sanctum and then use my teleportation ability to go there late at night once everyone is asleep. I'm sure I can convince Arthur to drive me around New York with the excuse of hoping that something would trigger my memories.'

With a rudimentary plan in place, I now has to practice my teleportation. I didn't expect that I would get a mission like I did after coming out of my dimension, so I only trained in simply using my different magical powers. I had planned to train my teleportation after I left my dimension as I wanted to use it an environment where it would be more difficult like in a busy city.

Teleportation within my dimension wouldn't really help as it was essentially empty. Another thing that I need to practice is my new telekinesis that I now had with this body. If I can get it to a decent level of proficiency I can use it to fly that way I can simply combine it with my teleportation and essentially fly to the Sanctum avoiding having to travel through the city.

I went over to the wall and saw an intercom. I went over and pressed the button so my voice could be heard.

{Arthur? Arthur can you hear me?} I asked over the intercom.

{Yes Master Grey, I hear you. What do you need?}

{I'm feeling pretty stuffy stuck in the house, would it be alright if I explored the grounds?} I asked.

{That should be fine Master Grey. I will inform the guards to keep an eye on you and I must also Inform you not to travel too deep into the forest, you could become lost quite easily.} Arthur replied.

....

(10 minutes later)

I had already made my way outside and had traveled deep enough into the forest that the guards couldn't see me that easily, and started my teleportation practice.

I looked in front of me and saw a tree about 10 feet away and concentrated on moving towards it. I was still kind of nervous so I decided to get a running start.

*poof*

When I teleported, one could see a similar effect to Nightcrawler's powers as there was a puff of smoke, but the smoke was not normal. The smoke seemed to shimmer like starlight and as the smoke faded you could see many twinkling lights that slowly faded as they fell to the ground.

"WHOOOO- OOF"

My cheering was cut off when I collided with the tree I had tried to teleport to. I got up with a groan.

"Urgh. I guess my momentum continues after I teleport. Good to know. Still.....I just fucking teleported!!" I said while rubbing my forehead that impacted the hardest with the tree before shouting out joyously.

'Alright. It's time for the grind'
