13. Trade.

"Hmm, I can do this. However you know the rules." She says with a grin.

"What do you want in exchange." I ask.

"Help with saving the planet once sometime in the future." She asks.

"Sure." I agree.

She nods and a portal opens up dropping a tanned skinned teen and a black haired girl in a straight jacket.

Forge, a mutant genius with the power to invent things almost beyond the level of Stark.

I reach out and touch his arm and snag his powers. It would help in creating and understanding mechanical things and allow me to create some nice stuff.

I also pick up Wanda and snag her abilities.

Chaos magic.

I also give her the ability so others cant read or alter her mind.

"Hello, my name is Ryan. I kind of made a deal with this person across from me to help both of you." I explain to the confused duo before pointing at Forge. Mostly for my own benefit as Forges mutant ability is nice.

"You were stuck in a different dimension." and then point at Wanda. "You have magic powers based on chaos and can't control them so you were stuffed into a prison or insane asylum correct?"

They both nod.

I turn back to the ancient one. "I promised to help you save the world once right? Bolivar Trask." I tell her.

Her eyes seem to gaze into the distance before she nods.

Waving her hand a small man is suddenly dumped from his hidden lab into a volcano.

This man in the future creates sentinels to destroy all mutants, however they go wrong and perceive humans as a threat as well since they can produce the mutant gene and start eliminating all mankind.

Sentinels are kind of like amazo at being able to adapt so I would rather not deal with them.

As for the ancient one she cant really watch everyone's future in the world at once so she might have missed a couple things.

"Do you have any books on creating your own personal dimension? If you allow me to read them I'll offer you another name." I offer.

She thinks on it for a moment before nodding and dropping a stack of books in front of me.

"Nathaniel Essex." Another person I would rather not deal with.

The Ancient ones eyes gaze off once again, this time she opens a portal in numerous locations dropping several bodies into the sun and one in front of me causing me to frown.

I avoid a swipe of two adamantite claws which look around in confusion and wariness.

"She was in one of the labs." The ancient one says calmly waving her hand as the new girl collapses into a deep sleep.

"I see." I watch as the ancient one gets up and approaches the new girl before pressing her hands on her head.

"I've erased all the brainwashing and activation phrases, so she might seem a bit childish. I've also gotten rid of the trauma." The ancient one explains. "I would advise doing that little mental trick of yours so others cant control her."

I place my hand on her shoulder and give her mental shields.

As for her abilities they are the same as Logans, considering she is his clone or daughter.

Man this has escalated a bit. I just came here for meditation manuals and good tea.

"So uh what now?" Forge asks in confusion.

"Eh, you can do what you want. However I would advise against creating any kind of machine that takes away mutant powers or I'll be forced to toss you Into the sun or something." I tell the man who has a sudden feeling of dread overcome him.

He nods quickly. "You mentioned something about magic?" He asks the ancient one.

"You are more than welcome to stay here and learn, from what I see you would make quite a good sorcerer." She says politely. "As for the other two."

Suddenly I have a bad feeling.

More books drop in front of me.

"They are your responsibility, you'll need to learn basic magics yourself, so you can teach Wanda, as for Laura, well she has no magical capabilities and I only found her because of you." The ancient one says with a grin.

Where am I supposed to put them?

"Xavier will easily welcome them to the mansion." The ancient one says.

"Sure, quick question though are you able to get money into my bank account discretely? I'll have to get them things like clothes and such." I ask.

"I can. How much do you need?" She asks.

I wave my hand and about 100,000 dollars appears on the table.

Shockingly the ancient one pulls out a cellphone. My cellphone dings, apparently she just transferred money to my account.

I give her a funny look.

"What? I'm good with stocks." She asks putting the phone away.

I just shake my head.

"Do you have any spare clothes? I cant exactly bring them out looking like that." I point towards the girls.

Ones wearing a crazy jacket and the other has on hospital like scrubs.

The ancient one nods before new clothes appear.

I help Wanda untie the strap jacket so her arms are free. She seems timid and skittish.

I just give her a warm smile. "Relax, I'll help you control your powers and you won't have to go back there Alright?" I say in my best soothing voice.

"Mm." She nods calming down a bit.

"Alright go get changed." I tell her as the ancient one leads her to the bathroom floating Laura.

I sit there and sip on the tea and go over the magic books.

"So uhh nice night huh?" Forge says awkwardly.

"Eh, it's so so. Anyway if you want to repay me for saving you, a cool spaceship would do. Small, fast, maybe hold 10 people, cargo bay, bedrooms, able to float in orbit, cloaking abilities, AI." I request as he gawks at me.

"Deal." He sighs before holding out his hand.

I shake it.

"Can you make it look sleek and smooth in a nice black color?" I request.

"Yeah i got you man. Thanks for helping me out by the way, I've been trapped in that dimension for years!" He says with a grin.

"How did you survive that long?" I ask curiously.

"I basically turned myself into an astral being so no food or anything required, however that also meant I couldn't interact with my tools and got stuck." he admits sheepishly.
