Author note: just wanna make something clear here, I love Rhodes but for my story too work I had to cut him out of this little time slot that was MIT. but fear not he is still in this fanfic they just meat differently. And Damn right I made Clint a mutant, no one can shoot like that and be human.

Warning cursing 

It wasn't long before the whole school hated Cj and Clint for one thing or another. Mostly because Clint prankster brain mixed with Cj's powers, spelled trouble for anyone that  they set there sights on. 

Scott summers had been the one to get the worst of it, since the both of them disliked the guy deeply. 

it was weird having a friend, Cj had never had on. well not a true friend anyways, and that's what Clint was a true friend. they even stayed in the same dorm room, a room that now had walls full of arrow holes from there practicing to see if Clint could control object's that are already in motion. most of the time he could. 

What was even nicer was not always have to prove that you're the smartest person in the room. When he was with Clint he could just be himself, not the tony stark everyone thought they knew the real him the one who just wanted to have friends and fun. To be understood. 

But Cj's stay was coming to an end and fast. and he was starting to hate the thought of going home. ha he laugh to himself. that place was never home, was a place to feel safe to feel loved, all things Cj had never felt, not till this school year, and now he didn't know if he could go back to that cold lovelies mansion. it wasn't so bad before with the Jarvis's but they have both past away now so when he was at the mansion he is alone. 

that is unless his father is sending him to parity gales or using him for his new ideas and taking all the credit.

Cj sighed and looked up at the endless night sky. if he keeps thinking like this he won't be able to go though with locking away his powers.

'I know you said it's a no go to ask about personal stuff but what's gonna happen to you once your powers are gone?' Clint turns his head looking over at Cj as they lay on the roof of the school. 

'I um I have parents, they don't know about me, about what I am.'

'don't they wonder where we've been for the last four weeks?'Clint  gives him a puzzled look. Cj shrugs one shoulder and say. 'they don't care where I am when where In the same house. But they think I'm with my aunt, she the only person who knows. She's the one who got me into this place.'

'my not be my place but they sound like dicks'. and Cj can't help it he laughs.' they  only had a kid so they'd have a heir' . shit I shouldn't have said that Cj crusted himself. 

'Heir to what?' Clint asks. 'I um.. come from an old money kind of family'. 'so they had you so that the money could stay in the family? yup'. I replied popping the "P" 

'That's cold'.

'You have know idea.' 

The next morning all of the older and more in control kids had training. 

It had been planned  weeks ahead of time and we all had Ben pared off for the training Mach's. I was going against a mutant who went by storm. It wasn't her real name since most of us have mutant name's those where what was put on the roster.

"Cyclops vs bullseyes"

So Scott and Clint where up first then four other kids Cj didn't really know, before the prize fight. (Cj still didn't like the name bullseye he'd been trying to get Clint to change it to something cooler, like Hawkeye, or eagle eye, since he had this thing about being up high, but he wouldn't budge) then it was-

"Storm vs iron Phoenix"

 the iron Phoenix. Cj had been eaves dropping on his aunt an the prof when she had first  brot him hear all those years ago and Xavier had said something about two Phoenix being under one roof being dangerous. He didn't know what he was talking about but he liked the sound of it Phoenix, but it was kinda lame on its own so he added on something Howard had always side to him stark man are made of iron. And so the iron Phoenix was born.

Looking around the cultural of kids Cj noticed that storm wasn't one of them. And the prof wasn't here yet  either. What the hell?

He wasn't the only one to notice judging by the murmurs of the other kids.' What the hell's going on?' Clint asked as he walked up to him. Cj shook his head an shrugged. 

'You gotta be kidding me,' Clint growled in anger. 'I've been waiting weeks to go against Scott and now the prof isn't here to babysit or whatever and I can't wipe the ground with him? This sucks. Oh quick you're winning you big baby, I'm sure he'll be here any minute, then you can wipe the ground with laser tag over there.yeah I'm sure you're right, Clint said claiming Down some.' 

Cj was right it wasn't long before professor X came out but still no storm. 

Wheeling up to the front of the group cleared his throat and started to speak.' I'm sure you all have noticed that one of your fellow classmates is not hear. There was some unwanted people hanging around the property last night into this morning Ororo has taken care of it, but in doing so it has left her darned so she will not be pertinent for this training session. Which means jean will be taking her place.'

Oh fuck. Whatever else the prof said was lost on Cj. Why did it have to be Jean professor Xavier knew Cj does he's best to stay far far away from her. 

Clint did just what he said he would,  he wiped the ground with laser tag. Literally, Clint throw  him and used his powers to keep him moving all the way across the lawn while dodging a laser beam till laser tag called uncle. It was on of the best things Cj had ever seen, he only wished he  could enjoy it more. 

There was a five minute break between fights which Cj and Clint spent nerding over how awesome that was. Before going silent to watch the next par go. But everything else was a blur to Cj, as he thought of his own coming fight. 

Like what if she gets in my head and finds out who I really am.

What if she get's in and I react badly and hurt someone.

Or what if..... 'earth to Cj' Clint was calling, clearly having been trying to get his attention for some time. Oh shit, he must have zoned out because Clint wasn't the only o one looking at him. And half a dozen lawn chairs where floating around the yard.

Ops.  With out even moving an inch he set them all back to where they were supposed to be. 

'Sorry bout that everyone got lost in thought for a second.' He said to the ground more then the eyes all looking at him.

Cj and Jean both stepped into the middle of the yard squaring off and the rest of the kids took a few big steps back, knowing the to people with the power to move thing with their mind's facing off could land them in the cross fire. 

The professor gave the single to begin and every rock stick and chair begins to float around each of them.

They weren't aloud to seriously hurt one another that wasn't the point of this. The point was to keep the others projectiles from hitting you while you try to hit them. 

The battle was was fast paced and Cj loved every minute of it, Jean on the other hand was not, you see even though Cj didn't hang around with the girl he did know a thing or two about her for instance she hated loosing, which she was currently doing. 

If you weren't so damn skinny I'd have a better chance, Jean shouted as she hurled another baseball size rock at his chest  and missing has he forced it away with his power. That's when something snapped in her, he saw it in her eyes the where now glowing a fire'y pink. And all hell broke loose. 

Everything even the air seemed to be moving to jeans will. That's when Cj felt something snap in himself, the last thing Cj remember's is the overwhelming sense overpowering power racing Thew him before blacking out.

Cj came to slowly, feeling like he was swimming though  unconsciousness try to break the service. But was he did and tried to open his eyes he wished him hadn't. The room was to bright hurting his already pounding head. But the wasn't the only thing there was something else, not it wasn't something else it was the lack there of. His powers there gone.

He tried opening his eyes again slower this time and found that the painfully bright lights had been turned way down, but by who?

'Tony. darling. Are you with us?'

'Aunt Peggy?' 

'Yes sweetie it's me and Charles and I are here.'\ Were's here Tony groans. Here is the medical wing of the school. '

Tony rolled his head to look at his aunt, and he could tell she's been crying, and he somehow knew deep down that the tears weren't for him.

'What's wrong? What's happened? 'He asked fear spiking in an instant. 

'Tony honey'..... she hesitated, his never sugar coat it no beating around the buch aunt hesitated, this is bad. 'There was a car crash last night your mother and father they...they didn't make it. I'm so sorry darling.' She said taking his hand in her's.

He didn't no what to do, or say, with everything that has happened to him in the last...how  long has he been in the infirmary? Hours? Day's? However long has left him completely numb to it all, even with who knows how much time missing. 

And oh god what happened to the other's? To Jean. 

'What happened after I blacked out?' He asked Xavier who till how had stayed in the background wheeled forward 

'Long ago it was foretold that one day two Phoenix would meat on the battlefield but only one would leave. ' I didn't think either of your phoenix powers would be this strong this soon. And i should never have aloud the two of you to fight.' He said senserly.   

"and I was able to safely lock away your and jean powers".

Tony let it sink in giving everything a great deal of thought, he knew two things for sure. One with his parents dead he would have to go back, back to Obie to his father's company, and two he no longer had a place here not with his powers now completely sealed off.

'Did anyone get hurt? No. Thank god' tony let out a sigh of relief. 'Does anyone know that I'm alive? No I haven't told anyone of your condition.' The prof answered. 'Even though Clint said he'd shot me with an arrow if I didn't let him see you'. He said with a small smile.

'That makes things a lot easier'. Tony stated matter of factly. Makes what easier his aunt asked. 

'Tony smirked and said. Carter Jarvis is dead, long live tony stark.'
