Chapter 11 - Equals

As i look at their confused faces i say "Let's give another example. Abraham Lincoln, pretty cool guy fought for people who weren't white, was the first among such people".

"So tell me what is most common in their stories ??". The Professor says "They talk of equality in human beings".

"Well someone does their job well". I smirk at them, "But there is another point, they were all humans". Wolverines eyes open wide, i think i hit a nerve there.

He growls "So we aren't considered human by your standards". I look at him condescendingly "All humanoids can preach about humanity, but it doesn't make them human. Can you consider someone who heals so fast that he can recover fatal wounds just due to a difference in gene makeup, human".

"When humans see you preach of humanity, do you know what they think ??". I ask them because the answer is fairly easy.

So i state what any normal human being would say when he sees a superpowered human being act like a victim "Hypocrite". This triggers Scott and he gnashes his teeth.

Ignoring him i continue on "Equality will exist as long as the playing field is even, but anything added later on will start looking alien".

"So when i stop to say that their should be equality between Mutants and humans, i become a hypocrite. For we may look the same but we are inherently different. Heck some of us even bleed blue".

I then continue on "My favourite saying is 'A mere mortal may never know the minds of gods'. So whenever you come up with a sob story you start looking more like a trickster than a victim".

Scott looks angry and he clenches his teeth saying "We didn't wish for it either. Does trying to live a normal life become a crime".

"You don't understand do you ??. Your definition of normal is being able to brandish claws, shoot lasers, read minds and then hide like a shadow, that too in plain sight. If that is your definition of normal, then you have long since become abnormal". This sets them off, but Logan thinks on the logic behind my words.

"So what do you want to say huh Bub ??. That we should be open about our powers. Sounds like the day we should name our coffins". Well that is true, but thats not what i meant.

"What i want to say is, pick a side already don't be the Bat. Do you think for the humans or the Mutants, this action of you trying to prove to the Govt. that you are harmless only offsets them".

"What does the public think when they hear that someone who can read minds can actually stay in the human world without anyone knowing ?. They panic and a seed of doubt is spread. Is the guy i like a Mutant, is my freind who is good at sports a Mutant".

This is true, for many Mutants can easily score higher, be more athletic, etc. So i say what the result will be, "At first it might be fleeting thoughts. But when it adds up, it will make them feel unsatisfied. He earned it so easily due to his Mutation, how can i win against a freak of nature".

The last line makes them all rage and stand up.I calmly look at them and say "Take a side already, you weren't human the moment you gained your powers. So don't go acting around like you are weak and should be helped. It only makes you look more like a hypocrite".

With my piece and goals done i turn away and start leaving i can feel Logans acknowledgement of the fact, Scotts confusion, Jeans stunned thoughts on the matter. But most of all Xavier's determination. I think i myself destroyed the timeline.

"Before i go, an advice for you Xavier. The mind of a human is quite easy to understand when you have vast psionic powers. But the heart is ever changing and a lot of times it influences the mind more than the brain".

It is true, Xavier just underestimates the darkness inside of a humans heart for he thinks he knows what all of them think.

I think i feel Kitty waking up, with my prowess shown they should at the least grade my threat as an Alpha mutant. Honestly i think that acting like a human with our powers is just the loadiest crap i ever heard.

Even in normal society there is a clear distinction of rich, poor, healthy and sick. If you show mutants as a part of the community and say that they are just superpowered beings. It is like saying look here we are a whole different community trying to join your community on all your clear distinctions.

It makes the already nerve taut community fighting for resources enter a war like situation. People hate one another even if they are looking different like for example hair colour, eye colours and tone. They dont like each other if they are from a different nation itself.

It offsets a lot of limitations on the human mind for example the killing of another is mentally bad when you are the same. But kill someone with strength like The Beast and it becomes an accomplishment of sorts, and humanity is drunk on accomplishments due to their small lives.

So i need to complete my Codex faster, after that is done i can throw this whole timeline into chaos. What i am planning will end all threats for not only Mutantkind but all Supers itself. The only one that will remain is Decimation Day where i plan to be one of the major participants.

So i just look at the nearing gates and think of the next step. The next step should be collection of gene material on bulk. Any power, any human, any alien on Earth should be part of the Codex.

Rather the Codex should be able to update its database with the new materials in its vicinity. So i began my search for the Brotherhood. Magneto was the leader of this ragtag group that fought the X-Men on daily basis.

I need their samples, so i d.e.s.i.r.e their location and the compass points near a high school. What its near 10 kms, that means i have already collected their samples.

This is surprising, forget it lets just search for the haven of Inhumans. They are also major figures later on in the comics. I mean Blackbolt is f.u.c.k.i.n.g dangerous. Even i would have to think on a power to actually nullify him.

At minimum levels of voice he can shatter asteroids as large as a whole country. At maximum level, contend with one infinity stone. This is the comic version so an infinity stone really signifies infinty. That aspect itself is annoying.

I d.e.s.i.r.e the location of Attilan and its on f.u.c.k.i.n.g space. Thousands of light years away from my position, why the heck is it there again. Let me recap, right the cure for the disease Inhumans suffer from.

This disease crystallises them and any semblance of intellect is lost turning them into mindless beasts. It is later found out to be cosmic force interfering in their gene makeup. Sucks to be you, i jump there and think 'Loot all of the Inhumans in a 100 km radius, 20 ml of their blood'.

So why is she awake and running around, oh right Maximus that annoying prick. Why can't people who are said to be intelligent be actually good at using their brains.

Why can't he create his image as a kind doctor and try to find the solution to Terrigenesis that they suffer from. Being a responsible king is fraught with difficulties, why cant he be smart.

Right he wanted to conquer Earth, which all the major figures of the royal family denied. Truly mad even i dont want to conquer Earth. Is he insane, with his level of technology creation cant he think that there will be complications later on.

Anyway i don't need to fight her and since my job here is done. The next stop would be celestial gene material. I know, right now you may think i am going bonkers.

True in the comic versions Celestials are scary, since it was said that a simple clash of two celestials can wipe out whole galaxies. But lucky for us we have a very weak celestial in the universe roaming around.

Ego, well if i had to say why he is weak, it could be mainly because he lacks guidance from another celestial. It can also be said that from a celestials viewpoint Ego is but a child, a newborn celestial.

He crudely does what he wishes with his powers like a child playing around. What, Ego is not weak, pfft who are you joking with. In the comics Thanos without any infinity stone or armor was able to push Ego, the planet version easily.

Granted it was Thanos who did that, but you have to know Ego was being pushed by a planet booster engine, while Thanos pushed Ego back barehanded. If he truly was a strong celestial he would have changed all his planets composition to dense neutron star.

But we all know what he did, he kept on screaming rather than do basic things any celestial could do. It is embarrassing to even name him as a celestial, but what can we do he was born with it.

I d.e.s.i.r.e his location, take a look at the compass and jump to his planet. By now Medusa has already attacked me but i ignore the latter and jump away. I can feel her tiredness, so she won't bother chasing me.

I mean she has a dog that can teleport just like me. It is better if she doesn't try to find me. At Egos planet i can sense the location of Mantis and a humanoid version of Ego coming towards my location.

No matter what he is still a celestial. I wait for him to near my range of a 100 kms and then think 'Loot Egos whole f.u.c.k.i.n.g arm'. I then jump to Earth and then to my island. Then transform a part of it into a lab for all types of shady things i am gonna do.

What i will do after creating the Codex is destroy the whole playing field. Who said i need to play fair with mere humans as Equals.
