Marvel: I am Jean's Apprentice.

Chapter thirty two:

I sat with Steve Rodgers quietly as the Secretary of State starting telling us why we needed to separate. Tony Stark hasn't said a word to me since we arrived, which is weird even for him. Something must be going on in his mind and I don't know if it's good or bad.

"Five years ago... I had a heart attack... and dropped right in the middle of my back swing. Turned out to be the best round of my life because after thirteen hours of surgery and a triple bypass... I found something forty years in the army had never taught me. Perspective. The world owes the Avengers an unpayable dept. You have fought for us... protected us, risked your lives." Said Secretary Ross.

"Great, can we go now?" Replied Pietro Maximoff.

I then slapped his arm for the interruption. He just gave me a glare for doing that.

"You might want to listen to this." I said.

Pietro Maximoff just sighed before listening to Ross... whatever it is he was trying to say.

"But while a great many people see you as heroes, there are some, who would prefer the word vigilantes." Replied Secretary Ross.

"What word would you use, Mr. Secretary?" Said Natasha.

"How about dangerous? What would you call a group of US based, enhanced individuals... who routinely ignore sovereign borders... and inflict their will wherever they choose.. and who, frankly, seem unconcerned about what they leave behind? People who try to save the city. New York." Said Secretary Ross.

The video showed a worm like alien and Hulk going berserk. "Washington." Replied Secretary Ross.

This time it was showing where I accidentally blew up a building in order to protect Captain America from Crossbones.

"Sokovia." Said Secretary Ross. Then the video showed me using my red chaos magic magic.

"Travis, why were you using dark magic?" Replied Sam Wilson as he looked at the video.

"You don't wanna know." I said.

"Okay. That's enough." Replied Steve Rodgers as he looked at Secretary Ross.

Secretary Ross just nodded at him. "For the past four years, you've operated with unlimited power... and no supervision. That's an arrangement the governments of the world can no longer tolerate. But I think we have a solution." Said Secretary Ross.

"The Sokovia Accord's. Approved by 117 countries... it states that the Avengers are no longer a private organization. Instead... they'll operate under the supervision of the United States... Only when and if that panel deems necessary." Replied Secretary Ross.

In other words, we were not suppose to do anything. But let the world parish.

"The Avengers was formed to make the world a safer place. I feel we've done that." Said Steve Rodgers.

"Tell me, Captain, do you know where Thor and Banner are right now?" Replied Secretary Ross.

"Do you?" I said.

"If I misplaced a couple of nukes... you can bet there'd be consequences. Compromise. Reassurance. That's how the world works. Believe me, this is the middle ground. And speaking of ground. You are return to your home in Sokovia." Replied Secretary Ross.

"Excuse me? What?" Said Steve Rodgers.

Another video played with me and Hydra. People kept screaming as Hydra attacked them in their homes and Pietro and I followed them.

"You were with Hydra? Remind me not to get on your bad side." Replied Rhoedy.

Pietro and I just ignored him and looked at Ross. "His powers are under control. And Wanda would never attack anyone." Said Pietro Maximoff.

"You don't know that. You power's was created by Hydra. And you are to return to Sokovia immediately." Replied Secretary Ross.

"Hold on, Travis has the right to live here like the rest of us." Said Tony Stark.

"And you think that's a good thing? Three days from now, the US meets in Vienna... to ratify the Accord's." Replied Secretary Ross.

"And if we come to a decision that you don't like?" Said Natasha.

"Then you retire." Replied Secretary Ross.

For the last half hour we all continued to argue with each other.

"Secretary Ross as a medal of honor... which is one more than you have." Said Rhoedy.

"So let's say we agree to this thing. How long is it going to be before he considers us criminals?" Replied Sam Wilson.

"117 countries want to sign this. 117, Sam, and your like. No, that's cool. We got it." Said Rhoedy.

"How long are you going to play both siy?" Replied Sam Wilson.

"I have a equation." Said Vision.

"Oh, this will clear it up." Replied Sam Wilson.

"In the eight years since Tony announced himself as Ironman... the number of enhanced people have grown. And during the same period... the number of potentially world ending events has taken place." Said Vision.

"Are you saying that it's all my fault?" I replied before looking at Vision.

"I'm saying that there might be a casualty. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge invites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe... Oversight... Oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand." Said Vision.

"So you're saying that they will come for me." I replied.

"I will protect you." Said Jean Grey before she grabbed my hand and placed it in her own.
