Disclaimer: I don't own X-men Evolution.

I realized I made a lot of mistakes in the original Mutant Evolution and I really liked writing it, so I decided to start over with a reboot, and this story will be completed. Enjoy, read, and please review.

Mutant Evolution: Rebooted

Chapter 1

-Bayville High Gym-

Fifteen year old Matthew Knight walked into Bayville High's gym. The school had announced an assembly to welcome the new principal after the old one, Ms. Darkholme, had mysteriously disappeared. That was official reason, but Matthew had his own. The said reason was waving at Jean Grey. Matthew approached Scott Summers, who gave him a 'What do you want' look.

"It's Scott, right?" Matthew asked.

"Yeah, what do you want?" he asked hesitantly.

"I'm Matthew; can I talk to you in the hallway for a minute?"

"Um, sure." Scott said in a confused voice.

While walking out the gym, Scott wondered what this was about. He had seen Matthew around school a few times, but other than that, Scott had never seen him. His thoughts were cut short as he realized they were already in an empty hallway.

"So, what's this about?" demanded Scott.

"I want to talk about your powers." Matthew said.

Scott's eyes widened behind his shades and his face visibly paled at Matthew's words. He wondered how Matthew could've known.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Scott said with a serious face and a shaky voice as he headed back to the gym.

Matthew was hoping Scott wouldn't try to deny having powers, but knew he most likely would. What Scott didn't know, was that Matthew could tell that he was lying. He ran up to Scott and stopped in front of him, "You're lying, I can tell."

Scott halted in front Matthew, "How?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.

"When you said you didn't know what I was talking about, your heartbeat sped up, and I heard it."

"Okay, so you're saying you can hear my heartbeat?" Scott asked incredulously.

"Well, not just yours, I hear everyone's."

"Why did you decide to come to me with this?"

"Because, when my brother was driving me home from school, I saw you and Kurt save that school bus full of kids and then have Kitty phase you guys into that abandoned building. I thought I might've been seeing things, so I did a little research on the school website. I found out all three of you guys lived in an institute for gifted youngsters. Then I started to think, why would kids that go to school at an institute need to go to public school? I thought about it and then it hit me; Xavier's is a place for people who have powers." Matthew explained.

"Well then, what exactly are your powers?"

"I don't know exactly. Nothing besides the hearing now." he said lamely.

"Can you meet me in front of the school at the end of the day? I know someone at the institute who'd like to meet you." said Scott.

"Okay, sounds good. We should probably get back before anyone notices we're gone."

With that, the two boys snuck back into the gym, unnoticed by anyone except Kurt, who kept asking Scott questions. After five minutes of pestering him, Scott caved and told the blue, fuzzy mutant what happened in whispers so the other students couldn't hear them. "So, is he joining us?" Kurt asked curiously.

"Maybe, I don't know, but I'm taking him over to the Institute to meet the Professor after school. You can come if you want."

"Nah, besides who else can tell the entire Institute about this in ten minutes?" Kurt bragged.

Scott was in 7th period English with Kitty Pryde asking him questions about Matthew, courtesy of Kurt who gave her the information last period. "Like, what does he look like? Is he like, cute?" she asked Scott with enthusiasm.

Scott sighed, "Kitty, why would you ask me that? I thought you were still hung up on Lance trying squish Kelly during the assembly."

"Oh, that? Well, I'm still like, mad about it, but he was only trying to impress me. I thought it was like, kind of sweet, in twisted sort of way."

"So you like him?"

"I do, but like, he's such a jerk sometimes, you know, and I-. Wait, like, why am I telling you? You don't even like him." Kitty said.

"Kitty, it's not like that. I don't like any of the Brotherhood, mostly because they try to kill us on a weekly basis." he said grimly.

"Oh, come on Scott, like, we both know they wouldn't like, actually kill us; Magneto, maybe, but not the Brotherhood."

"Kitty, I-." Their English teacher, Mrs. Parker, interrupted Scott's words, "Mr. Summers, Ms. Pryde, would you like to share your conversation with the rest of the class?"

"No thank you, Mrs. Parker." Kitty and Scott said in unison.

"Okay, then, after school detention, both of you will go to room twelve." Kitty and Scott both sighed in defeat at their teacher's words as the school bell rang, signalizing the end of the day. The two teens headed straight towards room twelve, which was empty, except for a middle-aged guy, who Kitty and Scott supposed, was the teacher. "Hmm, small turnout today, never seen you two before. Looks like you two are good kids, have fun." he said, getting up from his chair.

"Wait, you're leaving?" Scott asked as the man turned the doorknob.

"Yup, I never stay in detention with the kids." he said before he walked out of the door. As soon as he left, a boy stepped through the door. He had sapphire blue eyes that looked almost gray. He had wavy, medium length black hair that was short in the back, and in the front it was layered and windswept across his forehead. He wore a long sleeved, v-neck, light blue t-shirt, with a short sleeved white shirt under, that shaped his lean, muscular, figure. He had on dark blue jeans and white and blue Nike high-tops.

"Matthew?" Scott said recognizing the boy from earlier.
