A phone call over the city.
Misha's goal was to get acquainted with the new stealth armor as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. Not that he lived in it, or slept in it (he wasn't four years old anymore with a brand new baseball mitt!), but he was racking up a good number of hours putting it through his workouts. He loved the better interface with his muscle memory; the more he used it, the more it seemed to anticipate rather than wait for him to lead. The seconds it shaved off his response time could bring a lot to a fight.

And sometimes, like today, he just wanted to get out and go flat out speed demon fast. He was making his third pass over the city, in a loop that included most of New England and a portion of Canada (oops, forgot the passport!) when his amazing new armor put through a phone call.

The display inside the face mask read Stark Inc, which told him it was coming from the same satellite Anya had sent his new phone on after the Red Room incident, and that opened up a few possibilities. Most likely Darlene or Anya, but it could be Mom. He was on extended Mom service until after she had the baby so he answered immediately. "Oil change, burgers, or going stir crazy?" he asked, slowing to a relative stealthy crawl near the Liberty statue.

Justin nearly dropped his Coke.

"Xavier's is still standing here?" he asks. "Wow, I mean, I guess I should have expected it, but...where I'm from, the Government decided to take out mutants first. Xavier's got hit pretty hard before I was old enough to understand what happened, but once I did...yeah, it was bad." Justin says.

"Tony Stark is hard man to know at times, and I grew up with him. Or a version of him. He's a perfectionist, overly demanding, and believes without fail that his math on any situation is always right. The rows he, Dad and Mom got into were pretty legendary at times. He always had trouble accepting help, even when he needed it.

But he also taught me a lot of things I wouldn't have learned otherwise, and not just about high-tech suits, physics or engineering. He...taught me a lot of things I'll never get to thank him for." Justin says.

"Xavier's is still standing and taking in mutants. Dad's the mutant known as Wolverine and he was pretty sure I'd be one too. He settled there with me when I was a year old. Tony raised Anya in the city. We get along pretty well anyway."

He tossed his empty bottle in the trash and leaned against the counter. "Stark and I have our issues but I'm not so stupid as to ignore the man when he's trying to tell us something. If he's putting us together, there's a reason. My old suit is in Anya's lab. The new one she rebuilt for me is specific to my mutation. What sort of ideas do you have in mind?"

"Wolverine's your father. He was a big hero back where I'm from, but after Xavier's was destroyed, he struck out on his own. No one had seen him in years before I left, but there were always reports of places getting hit while the Avengers were carrying out other operations elsewhere." Justin says.

Justin was silent for a moment as he considered Misha's suit.

"Well, I'm certain Anya's set you up with a Zero-Point energy module already, which will power your suit like nobody's business and also keep your repulsor readings extra low. Once I see the suit, I had an idea for a couple of energy weapons that might help if you get caught in fisticuffs, but I'd need to know if hand-to-hand is something you deal with regularly." Justin says.

"Thanks to Dad, a generation of mutants can hold their liquor and kick ass in every major language," Misha said with a chuckle. "He's still an expert at covert tactics. That's just something I've seen him do in the past. Nobody saw him do it, can't prove he was ever there."

"I don't know what Anya set me up with or what Zero-Point energy is. I am in hand-to-hand combat quite a bit. My mutation is muscle memory. I can see it, then do it and better a lot of the time. With practice, it's mine forever. Much of it is automatic so the suit was upgraded to be react with me instead of me leading it."

"And your suit is built for stealth as well. Playing to your strengths is the best way to go, no doubt." Justin says.

"I'll find out if she's set you up with Zero-Point. If not, we'll get you on that and it's extremely efficient, power-wise. The suit will run longer for you, and the energy emission is harder to detect." Justin says.

Misha explains his mutation and Justin's eyebrows raise.

"That's amazing, to put it simply. And incorporating that into a suit makes you one tough customer. Okay...I had this idea for an energy blade that can cut through most substances out there. If you find that you need to get into, or out of, somewhere the old-fashioned way, it might be a good addition.

A miniaturized sonic-pulse weapon in your gauntlets would be a great deterrent, and a little heavier firepower to carry with you in a fight, without making you into a walking weapon factory." Justin says.

"We may also be able to get a bit more information- gathering tech into it, so that you have more control over the field. Of course, we'd upgrade your old suit to also react with you, rather than having you do all the heavy lifting. Perhaps the old armor can become related more to espionage and data gathering than outright stealth." Justin speculates.

"I'm not a heavy hitter. My team needs someone to protect their backs, that's me. Stealth is what suited me. I'm in, I clear the field for the others to fight, no one catches them unaware. I have my dad's healing factor, so I can take a lot of damage and still keep going. Regrew an eye once in less that two months."

He listened to Justin talk and felt he was back with Anya in the lab. "With the suit, I take an offensive position and cut down trouble before it make things difficult. I'm for anything that lets me bring my team back safe. You said you were looking for work. I can pay you, but getting access to the labs is beyond me. That's strictly a Stark thing."

Justin nods as Misha describes his role on his team, and nods, letting his thoughts follow their conclusions.

"Stealth and field control. Got it." Justin nods. "I think we can work together, Misha, if you're interested." Justin says.

"I also think that somewhere between you, Mom, Anya and Mr. Stark, I can get access to a Stark lab. Anya's already offered to help me with that." Justin says.

"The question is, am I working directly for you? That's going to help me determine exactly how much time I have to pursue upgrading your gear and rebuilding mine. How do you want to start this off? I can begin working ASAP, if you like." Justin says.

"I'm willing to pay, no question there, but as far as I'm concerned it's Stark armor and on permanent loan to me. I have to go to Anya for upgrades and repairs. It's not like my '71 Demon. I work on that with a box of old tools and there's no code or computers to mess with. You let me know when you get access and I'll make my suit available. Anya should have the specs if you need to review it all first."

"Sounds good. I'll speak to her as soon as I can, get those specs and get a look at the suit. Once I have my ideas in place, I'll let you know and you can yay or nay my presentation.

We get that done, and your old suit will be good as new as soon as I can make it happen." Justin says.

"You've got a '71 Demon? I love classic cars; used to help restore them when I was a kid, so I know where you're coming from. My girlfriend keeps saying she's going to buy one for me to help her with." Justin laughs.

"Thanks for meeting with me, Misha. Maybe we'll figure out soon why Mr. Stark set us up together." Justin says.

"Dad and I started restoring her when I was thirteen. Anya put an AI in it last year and now Darlene thinks she's a cross between my girlfriend, my reception, and my nanny."

"It could be as simple as Stark wanting some free entertainment if we didn't get along, or he's got something in mind. You have a place to stay in New York while you're here?"

"No, I don't. I've been staying at Avengers' Mansion while I looked for a job. I can't exactly bring my girlfriend around here without inviting some uncomfortable questions with answers I can't give out." Justin says.

"Well, if he's got something in mind, he could just tell us. Might be easier to get what he wants, or get us to do the opposite." Justin grins.

"My AI...is based on Tony. So he think he's my wingman, my old man, and the brains in our relationship." Justin laughs.

"Don't let yours meet mine or Anya will be far too entertained. Darlene thinks Anya can do no wrong. Anya gave her a tiara for a Christmas present."

"I have a place not too far from here. I'm out at Xavier's most of the time as it is. You're welcome to take up residence in one of the empty bedrooms. With the understanding that the family has come-and-go privileges, of course." He smiled. "And fair warning if your girl is around so delicate sensibilities aren't offended."

"I'm going to have Anya build me a new one, as Tony nearly kept me from getting a second date." Justin says.

"Thanks, Misha, and that's not a problem. I'll stay there for the time being. And I'll warn you if I bring the girlfriend by, though she likes hanging out at her place a lot, too." he says.

"If Tony was figuring on us not liking each other, it's not going well on that front so far." he says.

"Or that could've been his plan all along." Misha half smiled and shrugged. "He's a bastard. Just ask him. Anyway, Mom gave me her penthouse when she married him so I'd have a place of my own. I let those with keys keep them because it really has been a place we kids could gather and relax. We have movie afternoons or someone will go there to study, things like that."

"Well, I appreciate the gesture, Misha. Thank you. Toni's been saying I need to see Ghostbusters, so she'll probably want to stop by for that." Justin says.

"Classic Rock, but there is a lot of jazz. Mom had quite a collection that she left behind. I should warn you, it's set to alert S.H.I.E.L.D. if there's a problem. Nick Fury likes to keep an eye on his troublemakers and their offspring."

"Nick Fury, huh? Some things never change." Justin says. Granted, Misha's Nick Fury and Justin's Nick Fury varied a bit in description, but if the demeanor were similar in any fashion, Justin already knew things would be pretty interesting.

"I don't anticipate any problems, but I'll keep my head down all the same. S.H.I.E.L.D isn't my idea of a good time." Justin says.

"Can't help it, he's my godfather. Mom worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. for years, so the place was wired to alert them if she was attacked at home. Now they also provide security as an uninterested party because the Winter Guard is mostly concerned with my cousin and his new wife. Did you have a Winter Guard in your world?"

"They sound vaguely familiar, but I didn't know much about them. Your mother came around sporadically, and it was usually only on big missions, as he had ops of her own going in between." Justin says.

"Are they Russian Secret Service or something like that?" Justin asks.

"Something like that. They're Russia's superhero team, like the Avengers. Their purpose is to protect the tsar and his family. Since Mom, Anya and I are here in the States, they check on us, but S.H.I.E.L.D. provides day-to-day security. We're still in the accession line until Mikhail gets his own line established. I'm hoping he has a lot of kids. I get to train with them when I'm in Russia. Lemme tell ya, being a member of the royal family doesn't mean they take it easy on me. It just means I get patched up first." He laughed. "Of course, I'm usually healed by the time they're done, but it's the principle I guess."

Justin's eyebrows rose as he realized that Anya and Misha were both Russian royalty. He'd not put together that their mother was royalty, either, which suddenly put a lot of things Uncle Tony used to say about her into perspective.

"I'm surprised you don't want a bit more of that life. It would keep Mr. Stark out of your hair, if that's what you wanted. Being in Russia, I mean. But I understand that you've got business and family interests here that don't lend to being managed from afar." Justin says.

"But they've probably got an excellent health care plan, even if you've got a healing factor." Justin laughs.

"The people I grew up with, the X-Men, they're all here," Misha said simply. "We're a team and we have to stick together. My family is here, and it happens to include Tony Stark now. Besides, if I run he'll win." He grinned. "Can't have that, now can I?"

"No, can't let the old man think either of us are unable to hack it. I'm not one to let a challenge scare me, personally." Justin says.

"I've got family here myself, so I understand wanting to be around them. It's pretty nice, actually. I didn't know how much I wanted a kid sister until I got one.

And it figures that your kid sister and mine would be best friends." Justin jokes.
