Disclaimer: Ya really think I'd still write fanfiction if I owned any of the stuff I wrote? Didn' think so… BUT I do own the character's I made up (some will have big roles, whilst other's will just be in the background)… so no one steals em off me… deal?
Rating: T for now… most likely will take it up a notch sometime in the future if people actually read this… lol
Full Summary: To protect his students, Xavier brings in the most unlikely trinity: an angel, a demon and an immortal... but each of them brings with them new and more lethal dangers... and in the heat of battle, a passion starts to rise, a forbidden infatuation as on mere touch could kill them both… and the whole world would get dragged down with them. New mutants. New secrets. New surprises.
The P.O.V will keep on changing with every chapter. This is more of a Prof X vision chap... lol
Special thanx to my friends Daniel and Blue for helping me with this fic... :)
(Music: Kelly Clarkson – Breakaway… throughout the whole chapter)
A proud smile spread across the calmly wise face of Charles Xavier, the headmaster of the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, as he watched his students enjoying the warm summer day outside from his office window.
They have overcome so much… and yet still, they can enjoy the small things in life…like a sunny summer's day…
Charles looked at them one by one, remembering all which they had achieved and all the obstacles they had conquered.
Ray, Samuel, Bobby, Jubilee, Roberto, Amara, Tabitha, Rahne and Jamie were all playing "mutant-tag"… using their powers as best they could to avoid getting caught. Whether it was by creating an obstacle for their opponent or using their powers to escape, the "Junior" X-men had learnt to use their powers very well.
Apart from the occasional havoc they cause…
Scott, Jean and Alex were all lounging by the pool, whilst Kitty and Kurt were having a water-fight in the pool. All of them were laughing, joking… happy… and to think all this was almost destroyed a few months ago… with the rise of Apocalypse… this all would have changed…
But with that final battle, the X-men had new recruits. The Professor turned to look at the gang of mutants sitting in the shade of a large old oak tree a little apart from the others.
There sat Magneto's Acolytes, X-23 and oddly enough… the Rogue.
The two girls were sitting up in the tree; lying on the bulky branches… basking in the warmth as glimmers of sunlight from between the leaves shinned on them. The two of them had become close friends, opening up to each other and their father figure, Logan. Both of them had had a rough childhood, so they could relate to each other's pains… helping the other through one things got rocky.
Finally they had someone to open to…
Rogue had even named her friend, since she felt left out… not having a proper name.
"KIM!" Rogue screamed as she fell down from one of the lower branches, thankfully right into Piotr's arms.
"Thanks, sugah… KIM YA DAMNED SHE-WOLF! AHM G'NNA GET YAH NOW!" the southerner thanked, before screaming in her infamous thick Mississippi-accent at her sister-like friend.
"That's what you get for trying to push me off while I'm basking" Kim, a.k.a X-23, shouted back as she lay back down on to her favorite branch.
As the gothic, untouchable mutant-girl climbed her way back up to give a piece of her mind to her sister, the three Acolytes were cracking up as they sat around the tree.
Piotr went back to reading his book, always keeping mostly to himself... never one for big crowds. John continued to look at the "cat-fight", as he put it…
And Remy went back to playing solitaire on the warm grass, once in a while stealing a glance to look at the girls up in the tree.
Everyone at the mansion knew that he was quite taken by Rogue… everyone but him and the girl in question. He would subtly flirt; try getting her attention… even though he didn't need to…
Young love… always so complicated…what will they do once they realize?
And finally, Xavier turned his gaze to look at Ororo, who was also keeping her watchful eye on the mischievous young students. Her white hair rippled in the light breeze, catching the light from the blazing sun… making it shine like and angel's wings.
But still she didn't look completely happy.
She is worried for her young nephew… Evan… he is still persistently staying with the Morlocks…determined to protect them until mutants have the same rights as humans…
A brave quest... You should be proud of him, Ororo…
She turned her gaze to look at the professor.
I know… but I worry so much for him…
He is alright…he was trained by the best after all…
That subtle compliment got a small smile from her. She turned to look at the flawless sky, enjoying its warmth and letting herself float in the air… smiling.
"Charles?"
The professor turned in his wheelchair to look at Doctor Hank McCoy, wearing a loose-fitting, yet official-looking dark-grey suit and a clip-board in hand.
"They've arrived" the Beast smiled to his long-time friend.
"Very well"
All X-Men, meet us at the entrance hall to welcome two new students...
A few minutes later, all of the mansion's inhabitants were standing in the darkened entrance hall. All the curtains were slightly drawn, making the usually light room look gloomier than usual.
"What's, like, happening Professor?" Kitty asked, as she pulled a loose baby-pink shirt over her wet bikini.
"Just precautions, Kitty…" he smiled warmly.
Then the doors slowly drifted open, to reveal to figures approaching the mansion. Unconsciously, everyone held their breathes; only breathing again once the two arrivals were inside and the doors were closed again.
One of them was an 18-year-old pale girl, not pale like Rogue, but pale nonetheless… a more natural-looking pale, kind of angelic. Her hair was just below shoulder-length, loosely wavy and platinum blonde. Her eyes were a profound sky-blue color… all in all, making her look more like an angel than a mutant.
She was wearing a very conservative looking outfit, standing in a graceful, lady-like poise and smiling warmly to everyone around her as she looked around herself, as if to check something.
She turned to look at the other person beside her and whispered to them, just audibly enough for everyone around her to barely hear: "Its ok, Fumetsu… curtains are drawn"
Slowly, but surely, the other arrival pulled the dark cloak from around him.
He was an older looking guy, around the age of Remy or John, with jet-black hair and eyes of black hematite. His skin was even paler than the girl's… and looked just as natural. He had a… eternal look to him.
He was wearing a pair of black jeans, a black form-fitting shirt, black combat boots and black cut-of-the-finger leather gloves, along with a striking deep purple leather trench coat.
"Thanks, Tenshi…" he sighed to the angel beside him, as he threw the black cloak onto the floor in front of him.
"Anytime…" she smiled again.
A silence fell inside the entrance hall, but the newcomers didn't seem bothered by it.
Charles turned to his students, "Please welcome our two new recruits, Sarah Frost and Vlad Taras"
And then, all Hell broke loose.
All Charles could do was sigh. He really loved his students, but sometimes he jut wished he could press a mute button on a remote and get them all to be quiet so he could explain. Smiling to himself at the idea, he turned to look at how the new mutants were taking the surprising outburst.
Sarah was shaking her head, laughing lightly in an almost angel-like voice and Vlad was grinning showing off his extremely deadly-looking canines.
They would fit in quite well…
And with that Professor X called for order, so he could explain the reason for the arrival of these two new peculiar mutants.
Thank God it was at least a sunny day…
Under the same warm summer sun, stood another mutant in an alley-way. Breathing heavily from her narrow escape she stopped to catch her breathe and try ease the stitch on her side.
Damn San Francisco and its damned hills!
Her arresting just-below-shoulder-length purple hair fell around her tanned skin. Her deep purple eyes with a hint of gold were rimmed with unshed tears from the feat of running for her life. She pressed her hand on her chest, trying to calm her heart down.
That's when it hit her.
Unimaginable pain. Her head felt as if it were going to explode in fire and brimstone. The psychic mutant girl, a.k.a Mientra, fell to her knees crying out in agony.
Quickly she tried to summon her powers… anything to protect herself… but they didn't work… she was defenseless…
Another wave hit her.
Tears filled her eyes, as the final blow hit her.
She gasped in her last breathe, before her unique eyes rolled up and her eyelids shut for the last time, falling to the ground.
"Mientra… I told you to join willingly…" a dark voice sighed with a hint of sadistic joy from the back of the alley.
The figure walked closer, still staying in the shadows of the buildings. After regarding the immobile girl for a while, he just spoke into the shadows "Take her", before turning away and disappearing with a whish of a dark cloak.
Her large purple-tinted sunglasses broken. Her body going cold even in the warm West-Coast air. No visible physical injuries. No breathe of living in her. No glint of life in her eyes. No more life…
On a sunny day…
