The world kept turning, unaware of the silent guardians who reshaped its fate from the shadows.
After the quiet execution of Bolivar Trask and the Cairo incident, Ryan knew they had bought themselves precious time. Time enough to prepare—to lay the foundations for something that would last far longer than mutant revolutions or short-lived mutant teams.
The year was 1962. The world was at the cusp of change. Civil rights movements stirred in the United States. Technology was growing faster than ever. And soon, mutants would step into the light. But until then, Ryan would play a different game.
The Birth of Ryan Technologies
Hidden in the wealth he carried across worlds, Ryan seeded a new enterprise: Ryan Technologies. Officially registered under his real name, Ryan Hunter. No flashy press conferences. No magazine covers. Only quiet filings and private contracts. While his name was officially on record, Ryan made sure his face never appeared in any publication, public forum, or media release.
The company's first division? Vehicle Manufacturing.
Ryan spent days designing blueprints—taking inspiration from technologies decades ahead of the 1960s. Aerodynamic car designs with sleek curves, lighter alloy frames, hybrid engines combining small-scale combustion with battery-assist systems—technology that would look revolutionary but not entirely unbelievable.
"Too futuristic, and they panic," Ryan mused one evening while drafting a sports model shaped like a stingray. "Just advanced enough to look visionary."
Within months, Ryan Technologies unveiled their first prototype: the RT-1 Velocity Coupe.
It was a thing of beauty. A low-slung, two-door masterpiece, its frame built from lightweight magnesium-aluminum alloy, powered by a revolutionary "magneto-hybrid" engine that cut fuel consumption in half. The aerodynamic lines, the whisper-quiet engine, the precision handling—it blew away the clunky, boxy cars of the era.
Car journalists lost their minds.
Investors clamored for stock they couldn't buy.
Competitors scrambled to catch up, leaking their own "advanced designs" just to stay relevant.
Ryan himself remained a ghost.
Instead of boardrooms, he spent his time drifting through the finer pleasures of life. Private beach resorts. High-stakes poker rooms in the back alleys of New York. Underground art shows in Paris. And always—always—with a rotating circle of breathtaking women at his side.
The Life of a Phantom King
In the eyes of the world, Ryan was no one. A shadow slipping through glittering parties. A whispered legend among elite circles who had "everything but needed nothing."
Angel Dust, for her part, had adapted to her new life with stunning ease. She shadowed Ryan when necessary, blending into the social scenes effortlessly. Dressed in custom-tailored dresses and killer heels, she looked every inch the wealthy heiress or exotic supermodel depending on what the situation demanded.
When she wasn't by his side, she spent her time—as per Ryan's encouragement—training, sparring with underground fighters, refining her control over her strength without drawing attention.
"You need to be more than strong," Ryan told her once, watching as she crushed a granite block with a single punch during a private session. "You need to be smart. Calculated. Invisible until you strike."
She nodded—silent but understanding.
Their bond had only deepened. They weren't just lovers now; they were partners in an empire no one even realized existed yet.
Sowing Seeds of Influence
Through Ryan Technologies, Ryan expanded into new sectors beyond vehicles.
He launched a Scientific Research Division, offering official scholarships and grants under Ryan Technologies' banner to bright young minds—future pioneers in genetic research, energy technology, and engineering innovations. These sponsorships were highly publicized, increasing the company's prestige in the academic world.
He created a Community Development Division, focusing on supporting minority entrepreneurs and investing in marginalized communities. Ryan Technologies directly funded businesses, education programs, and infrastructure projects that helped push forward the Civil Rights Movement, all under its corporate umbrella.
He established a Real Estate Development Division, aggressively buying and redeveloping urban properties into future hubs of economic activity. Entire neighborhoods flourished under Ryan Technologies' guidance, sparking urban renewals that would shift the economic power centers in the coming decades.
Everything was done openly, directly tied to the corporate name "Ryan Technologies." There were no shell companies, no hidden investments. Just a rising corporate empire whose founder preferred to remain unseen by the media, letting the brand's reputation speak for itself.
And it worked.
By autumn 1963, Ryan's growing empire spanned continents, from manufacturing plants in Detroit to political influence reaching into Washington, to strategic academic partnerships at Harvard, MIT, and Stanford.
And still, no one knew his face.
Just the way he liked it.
A Night to Remember
It was a cool October night in New York City when it happened.
Ryan, dressed casually in dark slacks, a black tailored shirt, and a long coat, slipped into one of the city's more "exclusive" establishments—a high-end gentleman's club known only to those with serious money and even more serious influence.
The club wasn't advertised. It had no name out front. You had to know someone to even find the unmarked door hidden in the alley behind a jazz bar.
Inside, velvet drapes and dark mahogany booths shielded the patrons from the outside world. Low jazz played live from a hidden stage. The lighting was dim, warm, and intimate.
And the women—
They were not ordinary.
Every dancer here was carefully chosen—not just for beauty, but for charisma. They knew how to smile just enough to make you wonder, how to dance just enough to haunt your dreams, how to move like liquid seduction.
Ryan took a booth in the corner, a glass of bourbon in hand, his posture relaxed, but his eyes always sharp.
Angel Dust sat across from him, swirling her own drink with a bored expression.
"You really think we'll find anyone interesting here?" she asked, voice low.
"You never know," Ryan said, his gaze scanning the dancers lazily.
They spent the evening savoring the atmosphere—no missions, no wars, just a night suspended in luxury and shadows.
As the night wore on, Ryan leaned back in his booth, a small, knowing smile tugging at his lips.
The world was changing.
And he would shape it—not from the shadows—but through the towering, undeniable presence of Ryan Technologies, one move at a time.
