——————————————

Once the Avengers Tower was fully renovated, the Council started its first round of recruitment.

Sadly, the only person on Fury's list of people to recruit that they didn't already know about is Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk.

Thor hasn't been banished to Earth yet. Captain Marvel is off-planet most likely fighting the Kree. Captain America hasn't been found in the ice yet.

Though that should be happening soon.

Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver haven't unlocked their powers yet. Vision hasn't been built yet. Ant-Man, Falcon, and War Machine haven't received the tech that makes them into heroes either.

Thankfully, the X-men exist in this world as well, or the Avengers wouldn't have much to recruit from this early on. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

Saving Hulk for later, as Bruce Banner's alter ego would be hard to deal with, they all decide to start with meta-humans instead.

They first started with the teachers at Xavier's school, as they were the easiest to deal with. Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Storm were all brought in and put on the payroll.

Though that wasn't all. Peter met someone that he didn't encounter during his many trips to Xavier's school.

-Flashback-

As the members of the X-men were arriving at a meeting room in Avengers Tower for the first time, Peter noticed another blue animalistic man besides Nightcrawler.

The new meta-human looked like a big blue hairy gorilla. Of course, he was clothed in a normal human outfit and even had glasses, which made him look like a gorilla that someone stole from the zoo, painted blue, and dressed up in nice clothes.

[Insert picture of Dr. Henry McCoy or Beast here]

"Who this? I thought that I met everyone from your school." Peter asks Charles, who sat with all of the other council members around Peter.

"This is Doctor Henry McCoy but we like to call him Beast. He's in my humble opinion, one of the smartest people in the world and has six PhDs, including one in biophysics, and happens to be a world-renowned biochemist. Making him a leading expert in the X-gene, far superior to even me." Charles introduces the man, who became a bit self-conscious due to the attention suddenly being shifted on himself.

As a founding member of the X-Men, the intelligently gifted Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy has been fighting for the peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans for most of his life. Born with a physique, strength, and muscular structure greatly resembling an ape, giving him the nickname Beast.

"The reason you haven't seen him until now is that Hank here practically lives in his lab. If we didn't deliver him food every day, he'd probably starve to death before coming out." Charles explains with a laugh.

"Hey, I'm not that bad!" Henry says with a deep British accent.

"..." Every member of the X-men looked toward Beast with a look that said 'Yeah... right', causing Henry to scratch his hairy neck embarrassedly.

-Flashback End-

Beast wasn't the only new face that Peter met during the recruitment process for the Avengers.

After taking in the X-men, who were pleasantly surprised by the new paycheck they would be receiving every month from now on, and scheduling their training, the next group of meta-humans was a bit more unruly than the last.

-Flashback-

"Well, it's mine now. You're far too young to be allowed something like this." Peter says as he puts the lighter aside. "Now, please be quiet while the adults are speaking."

None of the teenagers liked hearing this and sent dagger-like glares in Spider-Mans direction as if Peter isn't only a few years older than them.

Though no one in the room knows that.

"Erik, we can't have children joining the Avengers," Peter says what everyone else was thinking.

"Yeah, they can join when they're older but maybe a psyche evaluation will be needed as well..." Tony whispered the last part so the kids couldn't hear what he said.

"I agree, these children need to be in school, not whatever you've had them doing, Erik." Charles sends a disapproving look toward his former rival.

"..." Erik was speechless as he didn't think of this.

He treated every member of the former Brotherhood of Mutants as subordinates no matter what the age, but now that he saw Charles' reaction, maybe he was going about things a bit mistakenly.

"I agree, which is why they will be enrolled in Xavier's school." Peter says and gets a nod of agreement from the man himself.

"I'll gladly take them." Charles says.

"You want us to go to school?!" The pyromaniac of the bunch yells questioningly. "F*ck that!"

He was already p*ssed off about his lighter getting taken away, so this just launched him over the edge. After all, he can't start a fire with his ability and needs his lighter for that very reason.

The other children were going to join in but they all noticed a very threatening glare coming from the man that they fear more than anyone else, Magneto.

Each of them was rescued from different facilities that exploited them for their mutations, but they all had something in common.

The last day in those facilities was accompanied by agonising screams and the blood and guts of every person that held them captive. All of this was done with ease by the man himself, Magneto.

Even the loudmouth Pyro shut his mouth and hid behind Blob's huge form upon seeing Eriks displeased face.

"Uh... We'll go to school, sir." Avalanche spoke for the group that was cowering from their leader's pointed glare.

"Good, then that's settled."

————————————

After that day, it was decided that all meta-human children that didn't already have loving and supportive families would be relocated to Xavier's school. Those that did have families who cared for and wanted them needed more finesse.

Charles would have to visit the parents or guardians and try to enroll them just as any other boarding school.

Speaking of Xavier's school, the United Nations agreed to fund them, but sadly, didn't agree to allow children from their countries to attend said school.

Why would they?

After all, each meta-human child will be a goose that lays golden eggs for their respective country. They would be idiots to send them all to America without at least instilling some national pride in them first.

Charles was definitely bummed out about this, but as the Avengers gain more notoriety and power, maybe something can be done to guarantee these children's safety.

Who knows what the future holds?
