After ogling Tony for a good while, Pepper didn't know what to do or how to explain her heated gaze, so she rushed out of the workshop with a heavy blush coating her entire face.

Tony laughed like a madman as she dashed away, resembling an embarrassed love-struck schoolgirl.

"How will you break it to her?" Peter asks with a fake sorrowful tone.

"Break what?" Tony asks in confusion.

"That you're gay." Peter says with a smirk.

...

Since Tony is the first ever human to be given their version of the Super Soldier Serum, they spent the rest of the day testing him for any unforeseen problems, though none reared their ugly head, thankfully.

As soon as they found nothing wrong with Tony, Peter called over every member of the Avengers council for their own procedure.

'I'll go last, I guess...' Peter thought as he didn't really mind.

Only half an hour passed since they called the meeting, yet every council member ran over as fast as they could.

Well, except Charles who technically rolled over.

Usually, when anyone calls a meeting, it takes at least a couple of hours for everyone to arrive, but it seems that they were excited to become super soldiers.

Even Fury, who is a fairly busy man, was the second to arrive behind Erik, though Magneto lives in the Tower. It would be hard to beat someone that only has to take the elevator to attend a meeting.

"Alright, I'm sure you've probably guessed why we called you here..." Peter says as they all were observing the equipment and vials of blue liquid around the room.

"Did you finish it?" Magneto asks, though before Peter could answer, Tony strolls in with a soda in hand.

"..." Instantly, everyone besides Peter was shocked, as Tony was walking around without a shirt on, showing off his newly gained physique.

"That answers the question, doesn't it?" Fury rolls his singular eye as he watches Tony strut around like a narcissistic peacock.

"So, notice anything different about me?" Tony asks as he spreads his arms and spins in a circle.

"Did you get a new haircut?" Charles feigns ignorance with a smile, meanwhile, everyone else stayed quiet, unwilling to stroke Tony's already large ego.

"..." Tony's smirk disappears as he looks at his fellow council members in annoyance. "You guys are no fun."

"Hehe, forget about all of that. Who wants to become a super soldier first?" Peter says as everyone in the room turns their gaze to Charles.

As the only handicapped person in the room, Charles had so much to gain from taking the Super Soldier Serum. Not only will he gain all of Steve Rogers' powers, but he should have a good chance at walking again.

Though Peter wasn't 100% sure whether that was possible or not.

'He may just end up as a really strong guy in a wheelchair...' Peter thought of the worst-case scenario.

"I said stop or I'll do it myself..." Erik says as the metal chamber doors began to rattle.

"NO! DONT STOP!" Charles screams from the chamber. "I CAN FEEL... I CAN FEEL MY LEGS!"

Upon hearing Charles' words, the entire room grew still. Though that didn't last long as Charles started yelling in agony again.

"..." Erik instantly stopped manipulating the metal chamber as he stepped back and waited patiently.

Although he was worried that the pain would send Charles into shock and kill his best friend, Erik knew that the Professor would never forgive him if he took away his chance at walking again.

...

Moments later, Charles' screaming died down as the Vita Radiation hit 100%.

"That should be enough." Peer says as he turns to Tony. "Shut it down."

As the old-school machinery shut down, cutting the flow of vita rays down to zero, everyone gathered in front of the chamber in anticipation.

"Open it up." Erik orders, receiving a scoff from Peter as he hit the button.

'Since he's worried, I'll let the attitude go for today.' Peter thought as the chamber opened.

When the steam cleared and the doors were fully open, everyone was shocked to find a muscular bald man who appeared to be around 50 years old.

"Looking good Professor." Peter comments as Charles gasps for air with sweat covering his body.

As a man in his mid-seventies, Charles looked amazing. He had the appearance of a 50-year-old man that exercised and took perfect care of himself.

Compared to your average 50-year-old, who doesn't have time to maintain a peak level body, Charles might as well look to be in his 40s.

"Well, I'm not feeling good..." He quips back at Peter as the metal restraints release.

"..." With his arms and legs unbound, everyone's gaze fell on the professor's legs.

"Sigh..." Charles let out a calming breath as he tried, for the first time in many years, to move his legs.

*twitch*

Immediately, his feet twitch, and moments later his legs move. Sitting up with just his core strength alone, Charles swings his legs over the side of the chamber and sits in shock, his legs dangling over the edge.

"I am moving my legs..." Tears fill his eyes as Charles hops off the metal chamber bed and steps both feet on the ground.

Silence fills the room as Charles doesn't collapse as he expected.

"Congratulations, Professor." Peter was the first to speak as everyone watched Charles stand under his own power with tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Thank you..." He says wholeheartedly.

"You're very welcome, though there is one problem." Peter says, drawing everyone's attention. "... I'm afraid that the procedure didn't cure you completely."

"What? What do you mean?" Erik asks in confusion.

"Charles... You're still bald." Peter wipes an imaginary tear from his mask. "I'm so sorry."
