31 31. Minions.

The brotherhood mutants have dropped out of school and were now living in Ragnarok. I had made a simple training area for them and they were getting in shape.

Pietro had done an excellent job on figuring out proper diets and exercises. He was also an excellent errand boy.

Toad no longer smelt like swamp ass, Blob was slimming down and exercising more, and Lance was just Lance.

However the happiest was Wanda.

"You turned my brother into a mindless slave who follows all your orders?" Wanda asked looking at her brother for the first time In who knows how long with hatred that quickly turned into glee. "That's so much better than just killing him!"

"Well something like that, I just kind of rewired his mind to mostly be a better person and follow my order instead of being a complete cunt. He isn't exactly mindless, he is just more useful." I explain. "But yeah I did hardwire loyalty and for him to follow my orders, he still has logical thinking so I wont have problems with him doing something stupid in order to achieve my orders."

She nods thoughtfully.

"Didn't you dislike people being mind controlled like that?" She asks.

"Yeah it's a bit hypocritical of me, however, I can use them to make the world a much better place. Besides they would have just ended up in jail from doing petty crimes and wouldnt have amounted to anything. Pietro is especially dangerous, I saw some of the brainwashing your father did and he was a complete anti human fanatic who wanted to please daddy. With his speed he could easily have slaughtered the X-men or multiple people in an instant if he wasnt such a fucking idiot and wasted his potential. Now I'll make him useful and he makes a mean fruit smoothy." I chuckle as I sip the fruit drink.

Wanda nods her head in agreement, having her brother be a useful person and help humanity is by far the greatest punishment. Besides he was a quick efficient butler.

Over the past couple days since I ordered priority high speed shipping I got quite a few of the items I needed, things like Industrial air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, a fully stocked kitchen that could probably serve 100 people.

I had ordered the best of the best and had nearly nonstop deliveries to the mansion.

Everyone was curious as to what I was buying and where everything was going. Of course I also found a couple of bugs being snuck into my items which were quickly destroyed.

Tracking devices, listening devices, cameras, all sorts of fancy spy shit which I promptly got rid of.

The only ones who got to see the kingdom were Jean, Wanda, and Laura. I even gave them entrance runes.

Of course Kitty and Rogue both pouted about this.

"Why can they see and we can't?" Rogue asked curiously.

"Because two of them are going to be my women and have confessed feelings for me and the other one is someone I'm in charge of." I explained casually.

None of those three would betray me, especially not Wanda or Laura.

This took the wind out of thier sails, Rogue of course had feelings for me however she refused to show them and admit it. Kitty also had some minor feelings but she didn't want to be part of a harem.

I didnt treat them differently and was polite to everyone. We got along perfectly fine. However I wasn't just going to let them in, I had brainwashed brotherhood members running around and plenty of other secret's.

I did not like Scott who was a dick most of the time, Kurt was always cool and easy going, Logan was alright is small doses, Charles was pretty chill, Storm was kind of just there as a secretary for Charles but we got along okay, Spyke was decent. Surprisingly I got along well with Mystique who was in the mansion most days to visit Kurt and Rogue.

However solid relationships take more than a couple weeks to establish. Though there was quite a bit of flirting. She did have quite a bit of good will towards me for not only freeing her mind but reuniting her with her children. She liked the subtle flirts and compliments as well, not going to lie her blue skin was sexy.

However today something new happened.

I was scrolling around on my phone when I saw the news. "Billionaire Playboy Tony Stark vanishes in Afghanistan."

I was on that shit like the plague. Stocks dropped like a rock and I quickly started snatching them up as fast as I could.

Everytime a stock was sold I nabbed that bitch over the course of a week. However news came that Tony had come back stocks slightly rose. Until he announced he was stopping weapons manufacturing. Stocks on Stark Industries dropped like a fucking comet. So I snatched those bitches up again when people started selling them like hotcakes.

By the time it was done and with a couple of favors, I had managed to snatch up 67% of Starks company. I was majority share holder.

Of course one Obediah Stane tried to get in contact with me a couple of times but it was ignored. Good luck getting my information through the swiss bank ahaha. Plus I had everything in paper contracts and stored in my spatial ring, they couldn't get shit through hacking the computers or anything like that. I had to legally sign my shares away in person with the official filed copies which I owned. There were so many hoops to jump through it would take hours if I wanted to sell my shares.

However currently I wasn't getting paid so i had decided to fix that.

If there was one thing i knew it was the future. In exchange for a bit of rare metals like adamantium I was able to scam Forge out of a couple items and blueprints I had suggested and he made for me.
