A/N READ: Okay so this is a sort of crossover between Merlin and X-men but the only character from the X-men i am going to use is the Professor and even then he plays a very minor role in the story so thats why it's not in the crossover section so for the purpose of this fic Merlin is Sickly and weak partially because i love Sick!Merlin and partially because it makes sense in the story. Long A/N i'm sorry i hate that too. Enjoy!

Merlin sighed as he looked out the window of the car, the car taking him to the school for freaks. Freaks like him. Merlin had been telepathic since before he could remember, he could read minds and move objects. Merlin was a mutant. Around the time Merlin turned 10 Merlin's power grew, this was also around the time Merlin began to meet other mutants. Every time he would meet other mutants he would come away from the experience with that mutants power. He didn't mean to, he never meant to. The odd thing was he never seemed to steal their power just sort of copy it. I bet they will call me 'the copy machine' here. Merlin thought as they pulled up to the school I bet they will hate me.

"Hey did you hear?" Lance said by way of greeting as he entered Arthur's room

"Oh that you and Gwen did it over winter holiday? yeah I heard about that" Arthur turned to face his friend grinning from ear to ear

"We're getting a- wait what? You heard about that? Ee didn't tell anyone yet!" Arthur doubled over with silent laughter

"So you did? Really?"

"Wait you mean that you..." Lance's face turned the color of a tomato "Oh."

"Well what is it you were going to tell me?"

"We're getting a new student"

"Oh? and whats the word on his freaky?"

"They say he's a stealer" Arthur cocked one eyebrow, a stealer that was interesting normally they wouldn't like having stealers around the school

"And how reliable is that info?" Lance made a so-so gesture, and came to sit by Arthur "So Lance...How's Gwen?"

"Shut it Pendragon!"

Merlin fiddled with his mother's bracelet nervously as he looked up at the school it was just so...big. He adjusted his bag on his shoulders and followed Gauis up to the door. Gauis smiled at him

"Ready?"

"Does it matter?" Gauis gave him a warm smile

"Not particularly but you have no reason not to be"

"Right..." Merlin followed him through the door's and up the stairs to the professor's office.

"Good Evening Merlin" the professor said he had a bald head and a kind face but, Merlin could tell he was not one to be toyed with.

"Yeah" he gulped.

"There is no need to be nervous Merlin I'm not going to bite" he gave Merlin a reassuring smile Merlin just nodded "So Merlin your mutation from what I hear is quite... unique"

"You could say that" Merlin said dully, The professor smiled

"We will need to run some tests though, so you will not be able to join the other students full tike for a week as you will be needed for testing in the afternoons"

"Okay" Merlin hoped this was standard practice he did not want to be branded as a freak in a school of freaks in his first week

"Now Merlin I was reading through your file and it seems you have a bit of what we would call a weak system" Merlin blushed, he knew what the professor was going to say next the whole you have to be afraid to tell the teachers and excuse yourself if your not feeling well they will understand and all that. Merlin had been sickly just as long as he'd been a mutant. Forever. Sick, Weak, Freak. That was him.

"Yeah it's been a lot better lately though so I'll be fine" Merlin lied. the Professor looked skeptical but said nothing.

"Alright. Gauis will show you to your room"

Arthur saw the new kid being lead to his room by Gauis the School nurse, his frist thought was damn he looks cute. Arthur was gay, he was one of the many out gay kids in the school. There were a lot of them, for some reason being a mutant and being gay just went together a lot of the time. Not like it mattered, people ignore mutants any way so if your a gay mutant they double ignore you. In a way it's better. Plus the mutant community is pretty accepting. He's so pale. Too pale. he turned the corner and listened to see where his room was. it sounded like 212 maybe?Arthur had excellent hearing. two down from him next to Lance, perfect.

As Merlin was being lead to his room he saw a boy about his age possibly older, pass them he was handsome, and he smiled at Merlin as he walked passed. Merlin didn't smile back, Merlin couldn't smile, not yet. Not since his mothers death.
