I don't own anything from Young Justice or X-Men: Evolution except for Alexis. Thank you! :)
I walked up to the mansion hoping Professor X was there. I'd been spending a week with my friend in Florida and was glad to be home. When I walked inside it seemed to be empty. 'Probably on another mission' I thought. I walked up to my room and set my suitcase on my bed. I unpacked and then heard the door open. I walked over to the stairs and saw it was Pietro. Great! Just what I needed when I got back.
"Alexis?" he asked. "Come on I know you're here I saw you go in."
I stayed hidden but knew he'd find me at some point. Then before I could blink he ran up right beside me.
"Gosh, Pietro! You almost gave me a heart attack," I told him.
"Sorry. I just wanted to see how you were doing," he confessed.
"I'm fine now leave," I said a bit annoyed.
"Hey don't take your anger out on me. I was just for once trying to be nice," he said, in a way that indicated he was a bit mad.
"Yeah well don't," I told him giving him a shock with my powers.
"Ow. Would you stop that?" Pietro yelled.
"No. Now like I said leave!" I screamed.
Then I could hear the Black Bird come back. I smiled, turned around, and Pietro was gone. If you need to know what that was about we sort of dated and it ended badly. That's all I'll say. I went to greet my friends who had just arrived. I watched them one by one get off the jet. I just leaned against the wall and waited for them to notice I was back. Kitty was the first to notice.
"Alexis you're back!" she cheered as she ran up to me.
"How was your trip?" Kurt asked in his German accent.
"As good as it could be," I told them.
To be honest my friend and I didn't go out much because of the whole us being mutants thing.
"So were you guys on a mission?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"Yeah. Once again we were looking for Mystique," Kitty informed me.
Mystique. She was my birth mother but I wouldn't dare tell them that. For one Kurt would turn it into a big deal. Another is she isn't really a good guy. Kitty saw I was lost in thought.
"Come on we need to talk," she said trying to hide the seriousness in her voice from Kurt.
We went up to her room and she locked the door.
"Okay what's up? Every time we mention a mission about Mystique your thoughts end up somewhere else," she noted.
"It's nothing," I lied.
I started to walked out the door but Kitty blocked my way.
"No. That's what you said last time. It's obviously something," she said.
"I don't want to talk about it," I said stepping around her.
She stepped back in front of me and said, "Alexis we're best friends. You know you can tell me."
"I said I don't wanna talk about it," I repeated.
This time instead of going around her I used my powers to go into the electrical system and went to my room. As much as I wanted to tell Kitty, someone I've known since first grade, I just couldn't. I laid down for a moment before I heard a voice in my head. 'Alexis, can I see you in the library' it said. I knew it was Professor X so I got up and went to the library. He was in his wheel chair waiting.
"Yes? You wanted me," I said nervously.
"Yes I have a very important mission for you, Kitty, and Kurt," he informed me.
"Cool. What kind of mission?" I asked a little excited.
"Now hold up. Let me get the others before I tell you," he told.
He mentally called Kurt and Kitty into the library. A minute later they appeared.
"What's wrong Professor?" Kurt asked.
"I'm sending you three on a very important mission," he told them.
"Really? What kind of mission?" Kitty asked.
"You need to help some friends of mine out. You will need to go to New York City and find Presto. He will guide you from there," Professor X said.
Then without saying another word he left.
"So who exactly is going to be in charge of this mission?" I asked.
"You of course. After all you are a year older," Kitty said.
I was a little glad but also shocked. Me, as leader. I just went with it. We went to our rooms, suited up, and then walked outside of the mansion. Kitty was wearing her X-men suit that had a blue strip from her neck down, I was wearing my suit which had a light pink stripe down each arm, and Kurt was wearing his suit with a red V shape from his shoulders down.
"Okay so Kurt would you be able to teleport you and Kitty to the outskirts of New York City?" I asked.
"Yep. It's just close enough," he replied.
Kitty walked over to Kurt and they teleported. 'They'd make a cute couple' I thought to myself. Then I went into the electrical wires and used them to get to New York City a few seconds after Kurt and Kitty.
"So how do we find this Presto guy?" Kurt asked.
"Well I'm going to guess Professor X told him we'd be coming," I stated.
"So just walk around until he finds us?" Kitty asked.
"Or you could look behind you," a voice said.
We all turned around and saw a boy who looked just a year or two older than me. He had blonde hair and was wearing a green shirt and blue jeans. Nothing else. He didn't even have shoes on!
"The Professor told me to show you the way to Dimension 2," he said.
"Dimension 2?" I asked.
"Yes, but I will first let you know that Dimension Travel is very difficult when going back. You might have to go to another Dimension before returning," he informed us.
We gave each other uncertain looks. Then we turned back to him. He had opened a black portal with a blue outline.
"Follow," he said.
Then he walked in, and we followed.
