Disclaimer-I don't now the creators of Marvel X-Men nor do I plan on following any set storyline from the comics or the movies. This is a work of pure fiction, done all by little ole' me and I hope you all like. I have been writing for years but thought that if I am ever going to get anywhere I have to start putting myself out there so I figured why not put one of my fanfics up and see what people think.
I would like some feedback so if you could please tell me what you think, if you have any suggestions, or if you have any suggestions. My e-mail is angel_boy0104@yahoo.com so drop me a line.
I walked as fast as I could down the street, I knew something was up at home when Tisha didn't answer the phone. Jogging up the steps I came face to face with a tall hairy man blocking my front door. His eyes landed on me and I began to get nervous as he looked me up and down, a smug grin on his face.
"The guest of honor is here Mystique" he yelled behind him. A slim woman with blue skin walked out of my door, her hands firmly placed on her hip.
"Nice too see you Rich, we have a little proposition for you" she smirked, it was then that I caught sight of her yellow eyes and had to chuckle. She couldn't look any more the stereotypical evil figure if she had tried, maybe a handlebar mustache but not in that outfit.
"I'm listening" I said beginning to tense up.
"We won't kill your sister and brother if you join us" she answered.
"Not my idea of a fair trade, how about I try one of my own" I grinned, my eyes glowing a faint blue as a bolt of lightening struck between them. Jumping quickly to get out of the way they landed on either side of my steps. I quickly put myself between them and the entrance as I lifted off the ground.
"You said he didn't know his abilities yet" the hairy man yelled.
"I was wrong, take him down" she screamed back to the street.
"Yeah, take me out fur ball" I growled stretching out my arm in his direction, the lightening this time coming from my arm and striking him in the chest. The man went spiraling backwards as the blue woman charged me, pulling a gun from her boot. The first shot went through my arm the second my leg, a look of shock crossing her face as the wounds healed before her.
"Get the hell out of here" I screamed, a high wind kicking up from around me catching her and sending her over the house across the street. I slowly touched down and walked back in the house to find Tish and Ian tied to chairs in the middle of the room.
"Fuck, how did you take out tall and furry" Tisha panted as she telekinetically untied her ropes then helping Ian with his.
"How did they catch you two" I asked looking around.
"They drugged us, what in the hell did they want" Tish asked beginning to peek out the front door.
"Me, they wanted me to join their team. We have to get the fuck out of here, start packing" I said ready to run down the hall. There was the sudden sound of rushing wind and what sounded like engines that caused us to stop in our tracks and move towards the front door. I motioned for them to step back as I opened the front door to find a giant blue jet on the lawn. A man in a wheelchair and a woman with red hair walking down the ramp. I readied myself to attack as they slowly approached but they never gave me reason to believe they would hurt me.
"I am Charles Xavier and this is Dr. Jean Grey, we are here to help you" I said in a calming voice.
"We sensed the battle and rushed here as soon as we could but I see you handled it quite well" Jean smiled.
"Thank you, how can you help us" I asked relaxing more.
"We can offer you safety, and a place for you sister and brother to go to school" Charles smiled.
"What about me, I'm not exactly high school age if you didn't notice" I laughed.
"Well we do know you are studying to be an art teacher, maybe you would be interested in teaching at the school" Charles smiled, wow this man was really nice.
"So can we go now" I laughed looking around nervously.
"Absolutely, may we come in while you get your things ready" Charles smiled warmly. ************************************************************** **********
I sat in my new room looking around, I had hung a few pictures of Tish and Ian, and a few of my paintings, I had to say it was starting to feel like home. I was just putting my clothes away when there was a knock on my door, walking over nervously to find a tall black woman with long white hair.
"Hello, I'm Aurora Monroe and I hear you and I share the same ability" she smiled.
"You control the elements" I asked shocked.
"Well just the weather, what's your name" Aurora asked.
"Rich, its nice to meet you Aurora" I smiled.
"I hear you are also going to be teaching art, we are about to have a teacher's meeting" she smiled motioning down the hallway. I nodded politely as we made our way downstairs and into a sitting room with a large fireplace. I saw the Jean Grey sitting close to a man in red glasses, across from them a man covered in blue fur with reading glasses and next to him a second man in blue fur but with a long pointed tail. Standing at the fireplace smoking a cigar was a burly man that looked like he could take everyone in the room.
"Hey kid, the names Logan, so what's your thing" he grinned looking me over as I sat next to Aurora.
"Complete elemental control and the ability to heal myself" I said nervously.
"Certainly could help the team, I'm Scott and across from me is Hank and Kurt" he said putting his arm around Jean. Everyone looked at me and nodded politely.
"So what has Charles asked you to teach" Hank asked me.
"Art, I was about to graduate with my degree but after that blue woman and furry guy came for me I wouldn't risk putting my sister or brother in danger" I said growing shy, looking at my feet.
"Mystique and Sabertooth, did they say what they wanted" Kurt asked me in a thick German accent.
"They wanted me to join their team" I answered looking up around the room.
"Well you are always welcome here, have you had any training" Logan asked.
"Well I am a gay boy from a small town, so yeah I have taken various martial arts classes since I was little to protect myself" I chuckled, Logan getting a smile on his face.
"Yeah, you'll fit in fine here" Scott chuckled.
"So um, what time do I teach art and where is my class" I asked everyone now laughing.
"Well art is taught at noon and 2 pm and you can teach it wherever you want" Jean smiled.
"So I could actually teach on the front lawn" I asked happily surprised.
"Absolutely, I will alert your students when they wake up" Charles smiled as he came in.
"WOW, MY students, that sounds strange" I chuckled as everyone smirked.
"After your handling of Mystique and Sabertooth I would also like to offer you a position on the team" Charles said as everyone's attention landed on me.
"Team, like.....I'm guessing nothing to do with sports" I chuckled nervously looking around.
"Attacks like what you experienced are a regular occurrence and we would like you to join our team to help stop those attacks" Charles said watching me.
"Definitely, anything I can do to help" I nodded.
"Good, I would like you to spend some time with Logan in the Danger Room so we can see what you are capable of before we send you out" Charles said thoughtfully.
"Not a problem, how about after my last class tomorrow" I asked looking in his direction.
"Sure" he nodded. ************************************************************** **********
I looked out over my class on the lawn, each of them at an easel sketching anything that came to mind. I had found though that I was the new hot topic at the school, anytime I had my back to someone I heard whispers. My first class consisted of Bobby, Marie though she preferred to be called Rouge, Kitty, Peter, and John.
"Mr. Markley" Peter asked in a thick Russian accent.
"Yes Peter" I smiled walking over to him.
"What is the objective of today's class" he asked me sketching....me it seemed.
"Well I want to get a grasp of each of your styles, the five of you are very different people and your drawing style will reflect that" I smiled, he seemed happy with this and went back about sketching.
"What is your power" came John. There was something about this kid, I had a feeling he stirred up trouble on NUMEROUS occasions.
"Complete elemental control and the ability to heal myself" I answered with raised eyebrow.
"So you are like Storm" Kitty asked.
"Well yeah but I can control water, fire, earth, and ice as well as the weather" I nodded.
"Really, so if I shot a fireball at you...."John asked looking my way.
"I would knock you on your ass and you would be in big trouble" I grinned as the class laughed.
"Is it true you brought your sister and brother with you" this time Rouge.
"Seems today turned into 20 questions and yes, they are both mutants like me" I chuckled walking over and picking up my shoulder bag and leafing through it, wanting to see who was in my next class.
"What can they do" Bobby asked.
"You'll have to ask them" I grinned earning a groan from everyone.
"Come on, please" Kitty begged.
"I have to give them some mystery, but I will answer anything you want to know about me" I smiled as I began to walk amongst them again.
"Are you single" Kitty grinned.
"Nope no boyfriend" I smirked as everyone turned to look at me wide eyed.
"You're gay" Bobby asked shocked.
"Yes, I'm gay" I chuckled.
"Wow, we add him to Kurt and Logan being bi" Kitty said thinking.
"You are just the schools information center aren't you" I chuckled as everyone laughed. Looking out over the students I heard rustling behind me, turning just in time to see a green guy and Mystique emerge from the bushes.
"Everyone inside NOW" I screamed as people scattered off the lawn accept for Bobby and Rogue.
"We are staying with you" Bobby yelled, his body suddenly covered in a layer of ice.
"Are you sure" I asked.
"Definitely" Rogue nodded. The green guy opened his mouth and what I took to be his tongue shot out as I went right for Mystique, catching her in the stomach and sending her to the ground.
"You definitely have balls" she growled getting up.
"So do you after what happened last time" I said slowly lifting off the ground. Concentrating, shards of the earth shot out around her trapping her in a cage.
"What the fuck are you doing" she screamed grabbing at the stone.
"I want to know what the fuck is going on" I said then turning my arm behind me and sending a bolt of lightening into the frog guy, knocking him out.
"Wow, you can handle yourself" Bobby said shocked.
"Go get the professor...NOW" I yelled as they nodded and ran back to the mansion.
"Can't handle me on your own huh" Mystique grinned then gasped as I darted in the cage and grabbed her neck.
"Let me give you a little hint, I don't like being hunted so I want to know what is going on" I said looking into her eyes. I let my ability flow through my hand, taking control of her systems.
"What are you doing" she screamed frantically.
"Do you know I have the ability to kill you with my touch, now you are going to tell me what the fuck is going on" I growled.
"Eric wants to resurrect Apocalypse and the temple is hundreds of miles underground and you are the only one that can reach it" Mystique gasped.
"Over my dead body, now you go back to your boss and tell him to leave me alone" I growled, I could feel Charles, Jean, and Logan run up behind me, in my anger I had kicked up a high wind and I could feel it moving over their bodies. This was something new to me, I could actually feel everything the wind was brushing against.
"They weren't lying, you have Mystique" Logan said a little shocked shaking me out of my own little world.
"She told me someone named Eric wants to bring back someone named Apocalypse and I'm the only on that can get to his temple" I said turning back to Charles.
"How are you getting her to give so much info" Charles asked confused.
"Part of my healing ability means I can heal others but its more than that, I can take control of their systems" I said looking into Mystique's eyes.
"You're killing her" Jean asked shocked.
"Never, I would never kill someone" I answered.
"But she doesn't know that" Logan grinned. I let her go and she dropped to the ground, turning the stone retreated into the ground and Mystique quickly ran into the woods.
"Don't think we need that test Professor" Jean chuckled.
"I would say not" Charles chuckled.
