34 Norman Osborn Mutant Rights Activist?
A/N: This 2011 and some of 2012 arc will be mainly about mutant rights and mutant conflicts in general. So name drop any mutants you want to see in the League I might pick some.
------------------------------------------------
--Ancient one pov ---
I don't like using crude language it's unbecoming for someone my age but, what the actual fucking shit is going on right now. One second I see the world in ruins and the next I see prosperity. One second I see people laughing in joy and the next crying tears of sadness full of regret and grief. And then there is this one timeline where there is a blurry image of a person shouting about people having eyes but not being able to see Mount Tai. What does that even mean?
---narrator pov ---
Meanwhile, Harry was in his bathroom practicing some lines,
"I your father sentence you to death rascal! You dare to eye my women you have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai!" Harry shouted with youthful vigor
'That one was good!' Harry thought Before saying another great line
"You dare to walk in my presence hahaha for I the God Of Sound am unrivaled under the heavens!" Harry said in the mirror
Outside of Harry's door stood Norman about to knock and tell him dinner is ready.
'Damn my son is becoming a wuxia young masted. God of Sound? More like the God of Cringe.' Norman thought after having to distinct pleasure to hear Harry practicing
While the Osborns got ready for the day Mutants around the united states began to rally for freedom. Norman and Tony saying those words meant a lot more than both of them would ever have realized. Tony being iron man having literally fought Magneto and the brotherhood several times and still saying that mutants shouldn't be scorned lit a fire under the freedom wanting mutants. Norman Osborn one of the most wealthy person in the world right now being known for his charity work and extra life medicine was the unknowing catalyst to everything saying that mutants should not be hated because they are different and that simple speech brought waves that will soon make the world drown beneath them.
Slowly change started to happen.
--- Norman Pov ---
Appearing in the base The first thing I saw was Harry in his disguise trying to flirt with Laura.
"Hey, Doc have you heard about this Norman Osborn guy? He seems to like mutants." Raven asked me
Harry hearing her question snapped his head over to see what I say and he wasn't the only one.
"Yeah, I have," I replied
"That's it no big talk about him Doc?" Harry said causing everyone to be surprised he would speak to me like that
Tsk, this boy still hasn't learned he can't speak to me like this when we are in the presence of others.
Harry obviously saw the weird gazes and quickly fixed the situation "sorry sir." he said
"I will let it slide because you are new," I said
"About that Norman fellow. Raven, you will rob him with Black cat. I want some of those extra life serums." I added
Raven looked dejected but non the less said "yes sir."
Later that night one of my facilities was robbed and some extra life serums were taken.
Of course, as a CEO, you don't advertise stuff like that but there just so happened to be a security guard that saw people come from the shadows and steal them. And he contacted the Fbi who in turn contacted shield.
[the next day]
I turned on the news habitually like I do every day, these days the news seems to be always interesting.
{ Mutant race freedom protests are happening in times square as we speak! What freedom are they protesting for? As far as I know, there are no laws that subjugate them.} the news anchor said in scorn
What a perfect example of what they are protesting for. To be a news anchor and scorn mutants on the news with millions watching is a horrible thing.
The Stark Expo is in a week but for some reason, I have a feeling something about this will pop out during the event.
----- Narrator pov ----
That week passed by quickly for Norman he didn't do much but work on new designs for phones and tablets for Oscorp go release. He also spent a great deal of time exploring Wakandan technology extensively. Those two activities consumed most of Norman's time but he still made time for his family, Norman also has been going with the first of love method in dealing with Harry's new eccentric behavior. The amount of times Norman has heard the phrase courting death is astounding.
Soon the Stark expo rolled around and Norman was in attendance his car slowly rolled up to the red carpet. The door of the Rolls-Royce opened slowly, all cameras pointed at the car waiting for the person to emerge. Once the door was open a handsome 46-year-old man walked out immediately cameras started to shutter and questions fly.
"Mr. Osborn what do you think about--"
"Mr.Osborn what is your opinion on--"
"What are you wearing---"
So many questions and so little time to answer. Norman turned toward the cameras and said "I will answer one question after the expo."
Reporters started to team up and brainstorm the perfect question.
Once the Stark expo started nothing much happened it was interesting to Norman to see one in real life but that was about it.
After the expo Norman was about to leave preparing himself for the question they will ask when he got a phone call from Felicia.
Norman: What's up?
Felicia: Have you heard yet?!
Norman: Heard what? What's wrong
Felicia: One of your facilities got robbed by Magneto and the brotherhood of mutants
Norman: oh really has the news spread?
Felicia: yes it's all over the place the brotherhood of mutants practically paraded that they did it
Norman: I see. I will figure this out when I come back. love you.
Felicia: Love you to
-call end-
Norman's face was calm he had no change of expression and his emotions were calmer. It was as if this was a trivial occurrence and it didn't matter. And it didn't to him Norman's thoughts were quite simple at the moment.
'He actually robbed me. I guess the world doesn't need the brotherhood of mutants anymore.' Norman thought
Magneto didn't know it but that simple robbery was the worst decision he has ever made.
As he walked outside Norman was bombarded with questions but one stood out.
"What do you think about what the brotherhood of mutants did to one of your facilities? Does it change your thoughts?" He asked
Looking at the reporter Norman began a speech that will change everything.
"What do I think about them stealing from me? I'm saddened by the fact that they had to, if they needed the extra life medicine they should have gone through the proper channels I believe everyone should be able to get the best medical treatment they can. Does this little robbery change my mind on the metahumans as a whole? No! The metahuman race did not rob me the metahuman race did not parade around bragging about it. What happened was a group of radicals robbed me and took medicine end of story."
"Whats a metahuman?" the reporter asked
"A metahuman? Isn't it obvious a metahuman is a person who awakened their X-Gene? Why would I use such a filthy and derogatory term as a mutant to describe someone just like you or me the only difference is the powers they have. I believe the term mutant shouldn't be used anymore it's frankly upsetting that it is. Metahuman is a much better term." Norman said passionately
After his speech, Norman walked back to his car and left queens. The difference between Norman's last speech and this one is he knows full well the chaos that his answer to the reporter's question will cause this time.
Meanwhile, at Norman's house, Harry was watching Norman's speech.
"Hahaa the old man really knows how to stir the pot!"
"That's your dad for you." Felicia said
Harry said Norman stirred the pot but how could he know norman actually launched a nuke.
----Norman pov ---
[The next day]
I knew I was going to start some chaos but I didn't expect this much. Currently, I'm looking at various news article headlines.
{Mutant or Metahuman?}
{Norman Osborn fights for Mutant rights?!}
{Dont stay behind trends! The new term for mutants is metahumans!}
Now even more protests are happening and they are called the MPP metahuman peaceful protests. If I can pull this off and somehow stop the discrimination against metahumans and build some help centers for them to go to in need I will go down in history.
----pov Charles Xavier ----
Metahumans is such a simple name yet so profound. We have been suffering from discrimination for so long that I don't even remember a time when we were treated as equals. But this man Norman Osborn is single handily making a change I strived so hard to make. I'm a little jealous.
----Pov Magneto ---
I hate that Osborn bastard but at the same time can't help but like him. Maybe I should kidnap him and make him support our cause?
-----Pov Norman ---
Right now I'm working on the new technological shields I got from Wakanda the designs are simple but I want to make them more compact like a watch or something. If I can make it then I can use it if I'm attacked in public without using any of my powers.
While I'm researching this technology at the same time I'm using my telekinesis to control fifty small action figures to perform the tango. This helps with my control a lot even though it sounds useless.
I have also drafted a plan to make this whole metahuman mess become even messier. I will have Raven and other agents go out and throw gas on the fire by having them whisper sweet nothings in the ears of the public and metahuman protesters.
The world will defiantly change whether the masses like it or not.

A/N: This is a smaller chapter it's more of a prelude to what will come. I hope you enjoyed.
