1 Chapter 1 - I am...Tony's little brother

To be honest I don't know what to feel about my current situation. Before everything, I was just chilling in my bed reading some fanfic and head to bed when I suddenly woke up in a familiar ceiling. 

At first I thought I was just dreaming like the most logical conclusion yet everything felt surreal but I soon realized I wasn't asleep and actually woke up in some random place.

Dear god, did someone kidnap me? Nah, I'm not a rich kid and an orphan like myself didn't have any money. I mostly lived doing some part time jobs to live and didn't have many friends that I'm close with. No, I am not some incel and did some relationships but none stick.  

I guess it's good considering I don't have anyone that I left behind…

Regardless, being at a random place was not the strangest thing but how my body currently feels. When I looked into my hands I screamed but my voice was not like my original one. 

I'm a fucking baby!? How the hell did I become a baby!? This has to be a dream right!? Fuck, it's not! 

I was in a situation where I likely died and transmigrated to another world. Though, it's funny how I come up with the conclusion but there are possible that I'm in world that extremely dangerous which I fucking hope not! Unless I have some golden finger then I'm fucking toast.

An average person like me stood no chance going on bizzare adventures. Damn this stress is making me tired. How much I deny reality there isn't anything I could change considering that I am nothing more than an infant right now.

It was then I spotted people entering the room and found a young man around the age of early twenties. He looked familiar but couldn't put my finger on it and then noticed the bald man with a thick beard that I could tell smelled like evil. Not that I know the smell.

Is that guy my brother? He looks like a playboy to be honest. God this is just great, a playboy and a guy that literally looks like trouble. 

"Tony, don't worry about the company, I'll handle the rest. You should concentrate on your little brother."

Hold up, wait a minute, something ain't right? Did he just say tony!? No, he shouldn't be the same guy that I'm thinking of because if he is then I'm fucked. Wait, maybe not!? Hold on, let me listen some more.

"-You're kidding, right? I may be major in many engineering subjects but I don't know if I could take care of my brother."

"Then hire a nanny or something but just let me handle the Stark's business affairs while you do your stuff."

Yup it confirms that I'm Tony's Stark little brother which reminds me of a similar situation from fanfic I read a while back. Now that I know I'm in a fictional world and Marvel at that! Though, I am still unsure if it's the Cinematic universe or the comics. I might be able to know my course of action if I know what version of earth this is but my knowledge about it is lacking. 

I wasn't a fan of comics that much and everything is just trivia. Still I know so many threats like Galactus, Thanos, Knull, Mephisto and many more. 

Just thinking about it hurts my brain even still when I look at my "brother" who gave a deep sigh staring at me with a complicated expression. 

I know that he would drown in debauchery that wouldn't end well with me. I mean couldn't I reincarnate to someone who is at least a lovable brother? Guess I can't be choosers since I literally billions upon billions from my parents. 

Still my presence could either make him a better person or not, only time will tell. 

"I'll leave you two, just call me about your decision."

Obidiah patted Tony's back before leaving the room. I would have killed him right now if I could but I'm just an infant with tiny hands and feet.

"....Dammit, I don't know how to, but Enzo I'll try my best to take care of you from now on."

He sounded genuine and a good sign that He wouldn't end his life of debauchery because once I grew up enough would beat his ass at every opportunity. 

Time passed, exactly 10 years had passed since I was born into this new world and found a few things. First of all, this world is not the MCU Verse instead the Marvel comic itself after witnessing news about Mutants protest. This means that it's possible a Charles Xavier exists. 

This doesn't help me one bit with timelines and future events making nothing more than a sitting duck, a sitting duck that was filthy rich. I guess that can be considered superpowers.

Though, I know this world doesn't have access to the internet being around 2000. It's a bit annoying that I can't research about the situation on the internet but whatever.  

"Wake up, you dumbass!"

Standing before my brother who was sleeping soundly on the bed having a deep smell of alcohol. 

"...Gaaah, Enzo can't you be more quiet? Also where the hell do you learn to speak like that?"

"I'm looking at him right now. Can you at least try to tone down with the alcohol."

"You're just asking the impossible here. Come here!"

"Hell no! Get away from me!"

He stood up from the bed and tried to smother me while smelling like vomit. Good lord brother! If not for the fact that I grown to view as My brother then I would have murder you in your sleep! Well not that I could.

"Clean yourself first then we can have breakfast."

"Cheeky brat, you grew too fast for your own good. Anyway, see you at the table."

I nodded, heading back to our kitchen table where our caretaker who helped in our private house was a few minutes drive to the nearest city. My brother soon came down wiping his face with a towel.

"Good, you don't look like a hobo now."

"Yeah yeah, your brother had a few pins but blame it on Rhode, not me. "

"I doubt that. He's probably there stopping you from gambling and getting laid like a cuckblocker."

"....does someone your age should be talking like that?"

"You're a horrible influence, young master Tony. Enzo is a bright kid like yourself and I doubt he would speak like a normal child. While we're on this topic, Young master Enzo asked if he could enroll in a school."

Most of my education has been homeschool since I would be in danger if I am exposed outside but it would be unhealthy to isolate me. I want to roam around if I can.

"I'm working on it but are you sure, Enzo?"

"It's fine brother, Sebas would be there to protect us."

Our caretaker, who's name was Sebastian, was an old man that reminded me of a certain anime about an overpowered skeleton. 

Tony was reluctant since unlike his relationship with our parents, I am much closer to him than them. He wasn't the best but he tried to do everything for me and was taking care of me even though he still has flaws. 

"Alright, I heard that kids your age should have friends their age. Well at least I won't be hearing your nagging any time soon when I'm at home."

"Guess I'm lucky I won't be smelling your vomit ass."

"Heh, good one."

"Young master Tony!"

We laughed at our caretaker's scolding afterwards, he went to work researching at his office while I headed to the city to look around with a bodyguard close by. Jeez this feels exactly like that fanfic. 

"Huh? A protest?"

I looked around the corner and found people were protesting about the injustice of Mutants or what I like to call them, Meta-humans. To be honest, I often helped them with donations and stuff. Of course my brother knows about this. 

It's troublesome to think he might not experience reality and become Iron man. Should I be Iron man? Hell no, I don't even know engineering. 

Though, I don't like him getting hurt because he's my brother but it would bring benefits if he created the iron man armor. Hope I can gain my golden finger soon. 

"When will humans and mutants ever co-exist…"

I glanced at the one who spoke and spotted a middle-aged bald man in a wheelchair with a man of the same age who was wearing a suit and had blue fur beside him. 

"I was working on the law and our rights soon but we lack funds for it…."

"I know, our institute is already struggling but…"

Who would have thought I would meet Professor Xavier and Beast. Though, there are some issues with them but I admire their desire. If I ever place my view in life in the character chart then I would say I'm at least Neutral good. 

Does it sound naive and heroic? Well yeah but I am a person who would do good if I think it's right or if I had the power. People would be selfish in my situation but I'm not. I know the feeling they are facing back in my previous life. Now I'm rich, at least I could help and with the influence of Stark industries then the government won't be able to do anything against the meta humans.

"Excuse me, I heard you lack funds?"

The two heard me and looked at me strangely. I can't blame them since I'm just ten year old with really long hair. Why? Because I like it that way. 

"Boy you shouldn't eavesdrop on adult conversations. Move along."

"Calm down Hank. I think I've seen the boy before. Can I ask for your name?"

I wonder if I could hear my mind? It would be a mindfuck if he read my memories. Don't blame me if you did. Though, based on his expression he doesn't or rather couldn't and if it was the latter then he likely thinks I'm some sort of Mutant, eh Meta humans. This probably caught his interest. Convenient.

"I believe it would be best if we were to speak privately. Furthermore, I hope you don't treat me like a child."

I speak in a more well mannered tone unlike my usual carefree tone that I got from my brother. The two were reluctant but in the end went to a place to talk privately.

"Young master, would it be alright to talk with these people?"

"No need to worry, I have a plan. I also believe we should invest in the future of the Metahumans."

"Meta-humans? Don't you mean mutants?"

"Of course not, there are as many humans as us with extraordinary abilities."

I mean if the future our earth was invaded then our hope would be the mutants to fight back or maybe the avenger if it ever formed. When we arrived at the place and sat down to discuss my proposition. 

"Now we're alone, I would like to introduce myself. I am Enzo Stark."

"E-Enzo Stark? You mean as in Stark industries!?"

"One and only."

"That's why you're familiar? I've only seen your brother in the spotlight and rarely see you." 

"Well I've been mostly homeschooling and have been deciding on going to some public school soon. That aside, I also heard of you, Mr. Xavier, the headmaster of the school for Metahumans."

"Meta-humans?"

"That's what I call Mutants. I think the name is ugly and frankly racist. You are still humans with just added quirks. Heh. Quirks…"

I laughed at my own joke remembering similar anime with the opposite descrimination. Hearing my words, Charles and Hank seemed to softly smile like a kind man. They didn't find it strange to be a child speaking in an adult way but considering I'm a Stark with a brother who finished many master degrees at an early age. He may be a playboy but he's still one of the smartest men alive beside Reed Richards that I once saw in a news article.

"What a kind boy. I believe your words hold true and start changing how we address Mutants."

"You are the complete opposite of your playboy brother."

"Believe me, we are so much alike."

"That aside, I must ask how you manage to learn that my institute teaches Meta-humans?"

"That's a secret and believe me you don't want to know how."

"Very well, it isn't my right to invade your privacy."

I doubt that but at least he's being genuine and doesn't pursue anymore.

"As I was saying, I want to fund on helping the Meta-humans and your institute in exchange for one thing."

"What would that be?"

"I would like to enroll in your institute."

If I could become friends with Jean Gray and the likes then I would have overpowered allies by my side. Charles was taken aback by my simple request. 

"Huh? Wait, is that all?"

"Yes. It beats a boring school over a place where people with cool powers are around."

I mean a school where it would just be boring lessons all day vs a school where you could see many unique powers. The former would always win. Does it bring the risk of potential danger? Yes but knowing this world, at this point, where in hell is the safe place!?

They blink for a moment then chuckled believing that I was just a child seeing cool superpowers. I can't deny them since anyone in my shoes would feel the same way. 

"Would it be possible to speak with your brother about this? At the very least, he should know what kind of institute you're going to."

"I don't mind. That aside I also wish to discuss a plan for the future of metahumans."

"What plan?"

"A future of Hero society."

Am I making the world of My Hero academia? Fuck yeah! Though, it would be difficult with many laws needed to be established but still it would benefit the Meta-humans in the future. Not to mention, the pay off in getting a bunch of Meta-humans as your allies would be beneficial. 

I further explain my idea to them, gaining Hank interest since he is someone who has been working to establish the rights of all Meta-humans. Providing the necessary laws to them would allow and would finally establish order. 

"I'm not an expert in politics but I hope my idea could help the future generations of Meta-humans."

"It's amazing a young boy like to come up with this idea. I'll surely do my best to make it into a reality."

Hank said. 

"Hope you succeed. I shall invest at least a few hundred million dollars in the funding. I doubt the government will try to harm my brothers and our industries."

Can they blackmail our industry? Maybe but that would cause the downfall of the most successful company and could cause them to lose a lot of assets. They seem to agree with my thoughts. The risk is still there but seeing that after my brother having so many controversies I doubt it would bring a change.

The very least we don't condone human experiments without the proper consent. My brother isn't heartless but he's not the iron man right now.

"Are you sure about this young master?"

"I am, no need to worry. My brother rarely hears me request something anyway."

In the first few years it was rough around him but he did his best to support me and could even say spoiled me in some areas.

"Then I shall call you regarding a meeting with my brother."

"We are looking forward to having you, Enzo."

 

We shook hands before going our separate ways. I look at them and wonder what they were talking about.

"Charles, are you certain?"

"I am, I've tried but I couldn't read his mind and believe he could be a mu-I mean Meta-humans."

"...if someone like you says so then it's true."

"Though, it's a pleasant experience speaking with the boy. He seems to have a kind heart despite his status."

==========

I returned to my room finding that Tony was still out somewhere. Jeez, that guy takes every opportunity to get laid! At least he does it in the hotel knowing that I'm at home. I don't want to hear someone moaning and grunting in the other room.

Laying on my bed having met one of the first stories written by legendary Stan Lee was truly a memorable experience. Now I wonder what I should do in the future? Investing in many social media and Bitcoin is must since I doubt it won't exist. 

When I was just relaxing and about to fall asleep, I suddenly saw a panel screen before my eyes that quickly woke me up from my daze.

[ System had been integrated. ]

[ Greetings, I am Raphael, your personal assistant system. ]

[ Character template: Yaldabaoth ]

[ Integrating in 3…2..1…Done. ]

A system? And Raphael at that! I know the anime and this is something that would be extremely useful, acting like Jarvis. 

'Raphael?'

[ Yes, Host? ]

Good lord it's actually real! I have my own golden finger! Whoever you are, thank you!! Like they said, with great power comes a load of wish fulfillment. Hehehe.

Calm down, don't let it corrupt you. There's a few things I want to know but where should I start?

'Raphael, who was the one that created you?'

[ Answer has been removed, host. ]

Worth the shot. It's not important anyway when I'm the one benefiting.

'What are your functions?'

[ I am just an assistant that helps and answers your question. There are no shop, mission or anything the likes. ]

I see it's just an AI but it is still useful nonetheless. 

'Can you explain what the [ Character Template: Yaldabaoth ]?'

[ " Character Template: Yaldabaoth" provides you with power over flesh that ranges from diseases, biomass and even mutation. This also gives you the

Hivemind. ]

'Hivemind?'

[ Hivemind.

You are now a hivemind, a collective of minds bound together in unity. How this takes shape is up to you but by default you are the central and dominant intelligence of the hivemind but start out with no other minds linked to you.

All that are part of the hivemind have a mental link to you that cannot be severed and can talk with you or each other through it.

Infinite multitasking, memory, and memory storage to handle the load of the hivemind. You will always have access to the collective might of the hives knowledge, skills, and any memories added to it.

You can spawn bodies either direct copies of yourself or customized ones. Everything about them from their looks, personality, attributes, and powers can be changed or modified when they are first created. Anything that places them above that of regular mortals has to be something you possess or have added to the hive. As long as at least one body is intact you and the collective cannot truly die.

Other individuals join either with their consent or by overpowering their will with your own. Those absorbed will have their memories, skills, and knowledge added into the collective. Their consciousness will remain if desired and will be loyal unto its total destruction. ]

'Holy shit!? Does that mean once I head to the X-Men I can copy their abilities?'

[ It depends on the mutation. The power like the phoenix force would take considerable amount of time. ] 

Damn guess that's still useful and if I could get some gods and cosmic Entities then they would bow down to me. 

'Hmmm, can you tell me the timelines and the characters in this world?'

[ I cannot answer without proper information. I'm merely here to assist you. ]

Worth the shot but whatever, for now let's test this new power of mine.
