The Next X-Men
Author's Note: This story begins where the X-Men movie left off. Some new characters, some old characters, some borrowed ideas (thanks animorphs!), some original ideas. I'd like to apologize in advance for any mistakes in the characters' backgrounds, as I certainly do not know everything there is to know about the x-men. Also, this is a work in progress, so if you have ideas about where to go next, corrections, or any other input please let me know. Thank you, and enjoy!
Prologue
He never knew his parents. She knows her parents are dead. He has always wanted to be human. She's always wanted to be anything else. They both have obstacles to overcome. They both can't do it alone.
Character Preface
I'm called Nightcrawler. My real name is Kurt Wagner. I picked up the name Nightcrawler while working in a circus, and it suits me well. Perhaps I should describe my appearance to you, for it may not be what you would expect. You see, I am a mutant: I have indigo hair, blue fur, three fingers on each hand, two toes on each foot, fangs, pointed ears, yellow eyes and a tail. I'm strange even for a mutant. I was abandoned by my parents and grew up alone. Then I was approached by Professor Xavier to come to his academy, a school for training mutants. I'd tell you more, but this story isn't just about me.
My name is Sharon. I go by the nickname Phorm, an anagram of morph. Morphing is my power, the ability to change into any animal that I touch (or DNA imprint in scientific terms). It's been my greatest asset in life, my refuge and my escape. After my parents died I had pretty much given up on being human, trying to be normal or fit in. Instead I ran away. I followed a hunch and flew to the UN World Summit Meeting in New York to try to find someone like me, other mutants. There I met up with the X-Men, which would change my life.
