After greeting Banner and Betty, George took Tony to meet Wolverine, Professor X, and the other students at the school.

Wolverine was an old acquaintance, but it was the first time George had met Professor X. However, the professor was quite adept at handling someone like Tony, and with just a few words, Tony was convinced that the professor was a good person.

While they were talking, the X-Jet landed, signaling the return of Captain America, Steve Rogers.

"Steve, I thought you'd be back by evening."

"Peggy can't stay awake for too long, and the longer I stay there, the more it affects her rest."

Steve let out a heavy sigh.

Seeing the now elderly Peggy made his mood very complicated.

The woman he once loved, the one with whom he had promised to dance, was now married with children and had grown old with silver hair.

"People always have to look forward," George said, offering some comfort. "Let me introduce a new teacher: our part-time instructor, Tony Stark."

George introduced Tony to Steve.

Tony looked at the legendary hero his father often mentioned, the one he'd heard about a thousand times to the point of annoyance, and couldn't help but remark, 

"Hello, Captain. I was expecting you to be in that spandex leotard you wear for aerobics."

"Hello, Tony. Maybe you should call me 'Uncle,' considering the bond I have with your father—it's more like a brotherhood," Steve replied, his mood already soured.

Hearing Tony's blunt comment about his appearance made Steve feel a bit uncomfortable.

"They're supposed to be close, right? Why do I feel like they're not getting along?" Logan whispered to Professor X behind them.

Professor X chuckled and said, 

"When you first met Scott, you were just as wary. Remember, he saved your life. Don't worry, they're both good people. With time, they'll become great friends."

"Steve, it's great that you're back. Everyone's here. I've got something important to discuss with all of you."

George didn't pay much attention to the small tension between Tony and Steve and led them to the school's main conference room, where Banner and Betty had also joined them.

"I've recently awakened a new ability," George began.

"A new ability?" Everyone was curious. They all knew George had many abilities, and they were constantly growing. But gathering them all to talk about it meant it must be something significant.

George's expression grew more serious.

"It's prophetic ability. I can occasionally see glimpses of the future."

He was about to share his prophetic insights, hoping to build team cohesion by revealing some external threats that could prevent internal conflicts. If the Avengers had known from the start that Thanos would try to gather the Infinity Stones and wipe out half of all life in the universe, would the Sokovia Accords have happened?

Of course, George wasn't about to reveal everything at once—he didn't want to overwhelm everyone by mentioning Thanos right away. It was a step-by-step approach.

On the other hand, he was planning to help Thor deal with Loki to prevent Loki from bringing an army of Chitauri soldiers to invade Earth, just as in the movies.

If he could stop such things before they happened, that would be ideal.

Since this wasn't the main universe, who knew what else could show up with the Chitauri? If something more dangerous arrived, they might not be able to handle it.

So, preventing it in advance was the best option.

However, he also had some concerns. Since he had previously leaked Hydra's existence to Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been busy dealing with them and might not have the resources to focus on Thor.

As a result of the butterfly effect, Thor might not even be able to wield Mjolnir.

If George faced the Destroyer alone, it would be too dangerous, and he wasn't sure how strong Loki was in this universe. If it was the same Loki who only used knives, it might not be much trouble, but what if it was the Loki who was the greatest sorcerer in the Nine Realms?

So, he planned to bring along Iron Man, Captain America, and others to help out. They could lend a hand and, in the process, learn that there were greater forces beyond their understanding.

"Prophetic ability? You really have that power?" The others were skeptical.

The idea of predicting the future was hard to believe.

Other abilities could be explained scientifically—even teleportation could be seen as quantum teleportation, but the technology to support it hadn't yet been developed.

"But predicting the future—how can that be explained?"

At that moment, Professor X spoke up.

"There have been many types of mutant abilities, and prophetic abilities have appeared in the past, so there's no need to doubt it.

The key question, George, is what did you see in your prophecy that makes you take it so seriously?"

Had there ever been a mutant with prophetic abilities?

Naturally, not that George knew of, at least not in his experience, but that wasn't important.

Since George said it was a prophetic ability, there must be a reason behind it. Professor X would help cover for him.

"Yes, George, what did you see?"

The others had now caught on and were all looking at George with curiosity.

George's expression grew serious.

"I saw an alien army invading Earth. Then, to protect the planet, we fought those aliens to the death."

"George, are you sure you didn't just have a dream? Are you sure this is a prophecy?" Tony teased, a hint of skepticism in his voice.

Aliens? This world had no concrete evidence to prove the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, let alone an alien army invading Earth. Such things only appeared in science fiction novels.

"Aliens do exist because we've already encountered them," Professor X said, and then proceeded to recount the entire incident when the D'Bari people invaded Earth, intending to take the Phoenix Force from Jean Grey.

The others remained silent after hearing this.

Captain America, being a figure from World War II who had only recently been revived from ice, was still adjusting to the advanced technologies of the modern world, let alone the concept of aliens.

He wasn't very familiar with the idea of the universe and extraterrestrial planets.

However, Tony, Banner, and Betty, being top-tier scientists, had long believed humanity wasn't alone in the universe. They had always assumed that other extraterrestrial civilizations existed.

What they didn't expect was that aliens had already visited Earth long before.

At this point, George added his own explanation.

"Aliens do exist. In fact, the government has known about them for a long time. They even established an organization called SWORD (Sentient Weapon Observation and Response Division), which has been stationed on a spaceship in deep space for years."

"I also found some information from S.H.I.E.L.D.," George continued. "Fifteen years ago, an alien fleet arrived near Earth. For reasons unknown, they eventually left. That was also the time when Nick Fury started formulating the Avengers Initiative, planning to assemble a team of individuals with special abilities to help fight against alien threats."
