Early in the night-time a white blue striped New York Train Shuttle bus was driving on a road that leads to Bayville,New York but the only passenger on the bus was a boy who obviously getting impatient.


The boy glanced down at his blindingly white skin. It contrasted his deep blue shirt, making his skin seem even whiter. He hated that. He felt like the abominable snow-kid. The light blond hair didn't help either. He'd always hoped that as he got older his skin and hair would darken, like they do on everyone else, but in ten years of life, he was still as white a sheet and blond as the sun. He fingered his sapphire necklace as he fidgeted. The city bus's worn seats were uncomfortable and the trip itself was taking an insanely long time. Tracing the odd metallic triangle had helped to calm him earlier, but a scream was welling up inside him. His skin was on fire and his heart felt like it would explode! "This is SO BORING!" He complained. ''How long will it take for this bus to make it to Bayville, New York?''

The bus driver was starting to get a bit angry and shouted, ''Stop complaining already kid!'' A somewhat chubby white-skinned man who had dark hair, brown eyes and was wearing a black suit with a hat replied back to him in an deafening tone while sitting in the driver's seat with his hands of the steering wheel. ''Are you always like this?''

The boy tried calm down, but couldn't and began to go on ''No, I just don't like to stay in the same place for more than HALF and hour.'' The boy said impatiently while still fidgeting in his chair a bit. ''I'm just getting impatient that's all.''

The driver looked through his side view mirror to look at Brian's case you didn't know this, but a bus from New York City has never been driven to Bayville, so there's NO telling how long it'll take to get there.'' The bus driver explained to him while sounding a bit annoyed.

''Well I guess I really can't complain, because I did kind of do this to myself by picking the school, but why couldn't my mom just drive me there?'' The boy complained while getting more impatient and board. ''I want something interesting to happen, but this bus ride is so BOORRINNGG.''

''Ok, listen here Brian, I would rather be doing something else then driving you to this place, but because of your daddy's money, I just couldn't refuse.'' The bus driver replied with an irritated look while revealing the 10-year-old boy's name. ''And if you don't behave yourself for the rest of this trip, I'll make you get out of this bus and walk the rest of the way.''

''Are you threatening me?'' Brian asked a bit surprised as he stopped moving around in his chair to look at the bus driver who was still had his hands on the steering wheel.

He then smiled ''Yep!'' The bus driver responded without saying another word.

Brian didn't look amused. ''Just drive already and stop talking.'' He demanded with a glare

The bus driver frowned. ''Just be quiet you should really be thanking me for driving you here, since your mother is so busy.'' He pointed out

Brian started to take deep breaths trying to calm down a bit further. ''Yeah I know.'' Brian responded back calmly rolling his eyes at the bus driver. ''And my dad is a well-known scientist who manly focuses his work on mutations so he's was also out of the question to drive me here.''

The bus driver rolled his yes, ''Yeah I know.'' The bus driver replied already knowing what Brian's father does for a living. ''But I don't get why he would study mutations! It's not like that mutants exist!''

''You sure about that?'' Brian said with a smile as a strange white aura was starting to surround him. ''I mean there might be a possibility that they exist, maybe even closer than you think or you might just be driving towards a place where mutants live.'' Brian said while chuckling.

''Huh? You watch way to much television kids!'' The bus driver said as he couldn't see Brian's body glowing with a white color, but then he started to notice a chill. ''Huh is it me or did it suddenly get cold in here?'' The bus Driver asked in confusion as he started to get goose bumps, and that's when Brian was a little nervous.

Brian started to get nervous ''Um what are you talking about? I don't feel anything? It's all in your head! It must be the stress of your job'' He exclaimed frantically as the white aura around his body started to vanish and the temperature in the bus returned to normal. ''It's perfectly warm in here, see? Hahahah?'' Brian said laughing while sounding nervous as he got up off the floor and walked back to his seat.

''Um, ok?'' The bus driver replied to him while not knowing how to reply to that little performance Brian gave him. ''Well anyway we should be getting to Bayville in a few minutes, because I can see the city lights now.

''Yeah, nice to know!'' Brian responded while not bothering to look at the city as he was feeling a bit nervous. ''I'm happy I can go somewhere new, but I just don't want to be the new kid in a school where the students are older than me and might be doing a lot of fighting in that insitution.''

He then calmed down ''I can't believe I'm going to High School sometime this week.'' Brian said quietly while staring down to the floor with a frown. ''And to make matters worse I'm going to leave all my friends I made in my elementary School.'' Brian thought as he clenched his fist as it started to glowing a white color.

''I don't get why I have to hide being a mutant from everyone but my family,'' Brian said to himself quietly as he closed his eyes. ''Just because I'm a little different from regular people.'' Brain thought as his fist stopped glowing white.

''How about we speed this ride up a bit?'' The bus driver suddenly asked out of the open, much to Brian's confusion as he was staring directly at him, but then he realized what he meant.

''This is going to be a bumpy ride!'' Brian said to himself as the bus driver pushed the gas peddle hard with his foot, which caused the bus to accelerate at high speed.

''YYAAAHHH.'' Brian screamed while he fell out of the seat and landed on the floor on his back. ''Slow down.''

''If I wasn't a 4th grader whose intelligence was slightly above that of a 9th graders I wouldn't be going through this.'' Brian though to himself with an annoyed look while trying to get up off the bus's floor.

''Calm down kids. We're going to get there in no time.'' The bus driver said to Brian, who was still laying on the floor.

''How'd he get a driver's license. I might never know!'' Brian thought while he finally got up off of the floor.


Later, that night Brian finally made it to Bayville High School, but there was a football game going on in the Football Field.

The bus was driving across the road to the school quickly until it then stopped behind the school.

''Here we are.'' The bus driver exclaimed as he stopped the bus by hitting the gas peddle.

''AAAHH.'' Brian yelled as he was sliding down the bus floor, but somehow managed to stopped before he hit his head.

''Ok, here's the school.'' The bus driver said with a smile as he pushed a button that then caused the two doors to opened from the inside. ''You don't want to be late do you?''

''Haha! Wow, I can see why you're a bus driver.'' Brian remarked sarcastically with an irritated look while he got up of the floor, then walked down the three steps of the bus to get out of it. ''Hey I'm going to watch this football game, and don't bother waiting up for me, I'm moving here as of tonight after I find that girl'.

''Ok, but how do you know she's still here?'' The bus driver asked while closing two of the bus's doors. ''I mean it's night time.''

''I just know! My mom told me that the principle of this school said that I should find some girl named Jean, who should be taking pictures of the football game then I can fill out the transfer papers so, I can transfer here.'' Brian replied as he started to walk behind the school, then heard a lot of cheering. ''And my mom also told me what she looked like so it shouldn't be too hard to find her.''

''Just be careful kid.'' The bus driver said as he turned his heard away from Brian to look what was in front of him. ''You might get hurt if you don't watch your back.'' He replied while driving off

''Get myself hurt, don't make me laugh, I can take care of myself.?'' Brian said with a with straight towards the football field


Behind Bayville High, a football game was taking place on Rectangle Grass football field marked with white paint with different people cheering in the stands while cheerleaders wearing red,white and yellow uniforms were cheering in front of them.

''Touch down, Touch down!'' the cheerleaders yelled out while the different people in the stands were clapping and stomping their feet.

''Touch down!'' the cheerleaders yelled out again while waving their palm palms. ''B-B-B-a-y - v-v-v-i-l-l-e. Go Bayville!'' the male and female cheerleader yelled out. ''B-B-B-a-y – v-v-v-i-l-l-e!'' All of the cheerleaders cheered loudly again.

Brian then started to walk across the field. ''Well, this seems like an interesting game,'' Brian though to himself with a smile while he watched the two different teams play against each other. ''But, I can't get side tracked by the excitement. I have to find that Jean girl.''

The crowd was cheering loudly for the Bayville High school football team, much to Brian's dismay from all the noise.

Brian started to walk towards the field in search for Jean and Scott while having his ears covered by his hands. ''She has to be here somewhere,'' Brian said to himself with a frown as he looked around to see if he could find anyone near the field with a camera. ''And I wish everyone in that stand would shut up.''

''But, still I really can't wait to see what this school is going to be like and the mutant institution!'' Brian was thinking while also snickering a bit as he walked to the edge of the football field. ''But, I do hope that I can find some adventure around this city, because- huh?''

Brian sniffed the air around him, because he smelled something disguising. ''Eww. What is that awful smell?'' Brian asked himself while looking behind him to see nothing was there. ''This is a waste of my time,'' Brian said, irritated, while walking further into the Football field with a confused look.

He then checked his back pocket for something until he realized their was nothing their, which made him stopped in his tracks. ''My-my wallet its gone.'' He shouted while looking around to see if he dropped it. ''It had my money and ID in it.''

Brian then got on the ground in search for his wallet. ''Why do bad things always happen to me?'' He thought to himself while shifting his hands around the grass until he got up. ''I guess it really doesn't matter I won't be going back home anyway. Since my new home is now this X - Mansion.''

He continued to walk away not noticing a shadowy figure behind the tree.

''He-he, that was like taking candy from a baby.'' A voice that sounded like a teenagers exclaimed happily while holding a black wallet in his hands, ''This just keeps getting easier and easier.''

''Now I think its time for me to go back to the stands and see what else I can get my hands on.'' The shadowy figure said as he began to hopped towards the back of the stands like frog.


A white-skinned football player wearing a red and yellow uniform with blond hair and green eyes was running towards the Rugby Goal post with the foot ball in his hands while a player from the opposing was chasing after him.

''Touch down, touchdown!'' the crowd yelled repeatedly as the player from the opposing team tackled the blond-haired foot ball player to the ground, and that's when the referee blew his whistle.

''YAAAAAYYYY!'' the crowd yelled out in excitement as a white-skinned girl who was wearing, tan pants, a long-sleeved purple shirt, and brown sandals was coming towards the blond-haired boy while taking pictures of him.

''Hey, Jean! Did you get that for the yearbook?'' The football played with a smile while still on the ground holding the football as the player from the opposing walked away.

''No this ones for my personal collection,'' Jean responded back with a smirk as she was looking at him with her green eyes completely unaware of who was behind her.

''Are you Jean Grey?'' A voice from behind her asked .

''Huh?'' Jean exclaimed as she turned around to see Brian standing behind her. ''Hey little boy, what are you doing out here all by yourself? Where's your mom and dad?'' Jean asked him, apparently not knowing who Brian was.

''Yeah, you're not suppose to be out here?'' The blond-haired football player reminded him as he got up off the ground.

Brian was starting to look a bit confused to how Jean didn't know who he was. ''Oh yeah, I forgot we haven't formerly met yet, have we?'' Brian responded back towards her with a small grin.

''Um, am I supposed to know who you are?'' Jean replied back to him, a little confused too.

''I'm Brian Steel,'' Brian replied back to her with a slight grin. ''You know, I'm the kid who's going to be transferring here this week and I'm going to be attending your little, um club for gifted students tonight.'' Brian exclaimed trying to sound casual.

''Oh, so you're Brian,'' Jean exclaimed out with a bit of a shocked look, but remained calm. ''The principal told me you would be coming here tonight, but I didn't know what you looked like. Sorry, and Professor Xavier didn't tell me you would be coming this soon.''

The blonde haired foot ball player was looking a bit confused ''Wait, you know this brat Jean? And how is a he transferring to this school? I doubt he's smart enough to go here.'' He asked. ''And what's this ''club'' anyway?''

Brian was looking a bit annoyed at the football player constant questions about him. ''Well, the reason why I'm transferring here is because of a little thing called...intelligence,''

Brian then rolled his eyes at him and began to start talking again ''And the club I was talking about is none of your business and this intelligence I'm talking about is something you should think about gett-''

''Anyway,'' Jean said, slightly loud so she could interrupt Brian before he could finish his sentence. ''Duncan, it's true that he's only a kid, but he's really intelligent for a kid of his age,and he also has very special talents.'' Jean explained to the blonde-haired teen calmly while revealing his name in the process.

Brian then started to get a slight grin.''Yeah, and its all because of my father's daily teachings after I come home from my school, and my special talents or something I got when I was younger.'' He added in with both of his hands on his hips while looking up at Duncan.

Duncan rolled his eyes while sounding unimpressed. ''How nice for you, kid. I really don't care.''

''Ok, listen up, you Neanderthal,'' Brian said, now glaring at Duncan with an irritated look, having enough of his attitude. ''I have just about had enough of you, and I've only been talking to you for a few seconds.''

''That's tough talk coming from a little brat,'' Duncan said with a devious grin on his face while walking towards Brian.

Jean then stepped in front of Brian, who looked ready to fight him, before Duncan could get to him ''Um Duncan, I think you should get back to the game,'' Jean suggested with a slight smile, reminding him that the football game was still going on.

''Hmp. I guess you're right!'' Duncan replied back, sounding a bit irritated while also having a slightly irritated look on his face. ''You got lucky brat,'' Duncan exclaimed as he ran back to the field.

''You should really watch that mouth of yours, Brian,'' Jean suggested while she turned towards Brian while having her arms crossed. ''It might get you hurt one day.''

Brian didn't look concerned at all. ''Oh please if anyone tries to hurt me I'll just use my powers on them and that'll be that.'' He pointed out.

Jean then kneeled down towards him. ''You can't use your powers like that; that's the other reason your mother decided to put you into this school.'' She said. ''To help you learn how to control your powers and learn how to use them properly.''

''Yeah I know all that already, and I also know to keep your institution a secret from everybody '' Brian responded back nonchalantly while yawning. ''Just tell your boyfriend not to mess with me the next time you see him, OK, because if he disrespects me one more time.''

Jean then got back up off the ground ''If you want to go to this school Brian, I suggest you don't pick fights with other students, or misuse your powers.'' Jean suggested as Brian was totally ignoring every word she said.

''Can you just give me the transfer forms so I can be on my way to this X-Mansion?'' Brian exclaimed as he was getting a bit impatient. ''I don't have all the night you know.''

''Just say calm, I'll get you the transfer papers once this football game is over, ok?'' Jean replied nicely while staying perfectly calm. ''In the meantime, just enjoy the game.''

''Fine, Fine. Not like I have much of a choice,'' Brian exclaimed as he rolled his eyes, then walked away from Jean.

Brian was walking towards the stands, so he could have a better view of the game. ''Well, now I know one of the students here is an arrogant jerk.''


Jean and Duncan were walking out off the field together towards the Benches

Two football players who were wearing the same uniforms walked up to Duncan ''hey look at that.'' A white-skinned foot ball player said while pointing towards to a teenage boy who had brown hair and was wearing a blue sweater vest, pale colored pants, with pale, hazel hair and yellow eyes was walking towards a man wearing a red and white jacket.

''Talanski's at it again.'' the football player added in while Duncan just grinned while the man walked away not knowing that Talanski just toke his mahogany wallet.

Talanski then got toke all the money out of the stolen wallet into his pockets, then threw the wallet to the ground. then walked to the back of the stands.

Duncan then turned around to look at the coach. ''hey coach can we be excused for a second?'' he asked while the Coach looked up at the score board that had Home with 40 points and Visitors with 17 points.

''Yeah, yeah, yeah, just hustle back.'' the coach responded to him while Duncan got his helmet on his head, then walked towards the back of the stands.


Brian continued to walk towards the stands where he then noticed that the three football players from the Bayville High Football team were walking towards the back of the stands. ''Why are those three going over there, I wonder?''
