AN: This Idea just came to me. Enjoy!
Chapter One: Recruitment
Michael Harris was driving home from school after about 12:00 PM. He was looking forward to staying home and playing some video games. After a hard day at school, he deserved to take in some rest and relaxation. As he pulled up, he noticed an odd van parked outside. He shrugged at the suspicion pouring over him, and he walked inside. As he approached his living room, he saw Charles, and Melody talking to three very familiar people.
"Michael, come in, we were just talking about you." Charles said. "Have a seat."
"I'll stand." Michael said. "What's going on?"
"Allow me to introduce myself." The bald man in the chair said politely. "My name is Charles Xavier, headmaster of Xavier Institute for Gifted students. This is Ororo Monroe, and Logan."
"Why are you here?" Michael asked.
"Because we need your help in a particular...matter." Xavier said. "See, we have a problem that is plaging our school."
"Someone or something is attacking kids around our school." Ororo said. "We have absolutely no idea who or what that thing is."
"So, you want me to come to this school to keep an eye out and to find this thing, and to put a stop to it?" Michael said.
"Pretty much." Ororo said.
"Where am I going to stay?" Michael asked.
"At the institute with the rest of the students." Xavier said. "You will be posing as a student there."
"Okay, I'll do it." Michael said agreeing. "Anything else I should know?"
"Seeing as how Your brother and Stepsister have already heard about this, you can't tell anybody else about this." Xavier said.
"Not anybody?" Michael asked. "Not even-"
"Not even Miley, I'm afraid." Ororo said.
Michael walked up to his front window and looked out towards the Stewart's residence. He had no idea how he could keep this a secret from her. He barely kept the Dark Tournament a secret from her.
"Okay, when do I leave?" Michael asked.
"We will leave you a few days to prepare, then we will be back." Xavier said. "Until then, we want you to stay here, and avoid Miley."
"Wait, why?" Michael asked.
"So you don't go blabbing off to her, that's why!" Logan said.
"Why don't you go howl at the moon, you SOB?" Michael shot back.
Before he could take a step towards Logan, Xavier moved between them. "We would love to stay but we have to get back to the institute to make preparations." Xavier waved goodbye, and the three walked out of the door.
"So, what are you going to tell Miley?" Melody asked.
"I'll handle that." Michael said. "You keep your mouths shut about this. Okay?"
Melody and Charles nodded, and Michael climbed the stairs to his room. He had some serious things to think about.
AN: How was it? Okay, next chapter, Michael departs for his new temporary home. R&R!
