A/N: I debated for a long time whether or not I was going to post this... Anyway, this is hugely based off of the X-men. I wanted a story with the Hetalia characters as mutants. I've been wanting to do one for a while, but I just never got around to it. :)
-Arcadius=Rome (it's just a random name I made up for him, because why give him a normal sounding name?)
-For future reference, Reiner=Germania. I made him the bad guy because I tend to do that... I always make Germania the bad guy. Nothing against Germania, of course; it's just whenever it comes to Rome and him, Germania always wins for who gets to be the bad guy.
-Pairings to expect: USUK, PruHun, FranCan, Spamano, GerIta... I've got it all! :)
I don't own Hetalia.
Prologue
Matthew had always been the odd one out. At school, when they'd play dodge ball in gym, he'd always be picked last. He was never on his brother's team, and that's why his team always lost. In the orphanage yard, too; he was always picked on. And his damn brother didn't do anything to try and stop the attacks. It got to the point where Matthew just wanted to disappear.
So he did.
He was missing for two days before Matthew realized what was wrong. He thought people were just ignoring him as a part of another one of their cruel jokes. But when even Alfred began to get confused as to where his twin had gone, Matthew started to have second thoughts.
That's when he realized he was invisible.
He had no idea how he'd gotten that way, or how to reverse it. So he asked his brother about it. Alfred had jumped out of his skin at the slightest sound, but Matthew had calmed him down. Alfred had been just as confused as his twin, but had admitted that he too had been having strange occurrences happen to him. Then the brothers had decided to run away, and then they'd found their current home.
The home in which Matthew was currently snooping around in.
He'd heard something downstairs so he'd silently stepped out of bed, turning completely invisible. He walked down the rickety old stairs, holding onto the rail the whole way, looking around slowly for anything that could have made that noise. There was a light coming from the kitchen, so Matthew carefully made his way towards it. He heard rustling coming from the room and he almost thought that it was just Alfred awake for a midnight snack, but Alfred would have been much louder. The slightly younger boy didn't give two shits about how loud he was being. No, this wasn't Alfred.
It was a girl.
She had long brown hair that fell down her back in curls and an orange flower behind her ear. She was digging through the refrigerator with a biscuit in her mouth. The girl wore a green dress and brown flats and when she turned around to glance over her shoulder, Matthew caught a glance of her bright green eyes. She had small features and plump lips and her eyebrows creased together slightly, as if she were listening very hard.
Matthew accidentally bumped into a table and caused the lamp to wobble, catching her attention. He quickly grabbed the lamp before it could fall, but the girl had already seen and heard it. She carefully took a step towards him, reaching her hand out.
"H…hello?" she whispered, narrowing her eyes. "Is someone there?"
Matthew slowly let himself appear, holding his hands up to show her that he wouldn't hurt her. The eleven year old knew that when you were seeing a person for the first time, and in a situation like this, the first thing you do is make sure that they know you won't attack them. The girl couldn't have been much older than him; maybe around 14 or 15; and she seemed terrified, although she did a good job of hiding it.
"I won't hurt you," Matthew whispered back, barely parting his lips. "Do you need help?"
"No," the girl snapped, crossing her arms and looking away, but not turning her back to him, "I don't. I was just leaving."
"Are you sure?" Matthew insisted, cocking his head. "You look like you need help. This place can help you and give you a safe place to live. But first… are you a mutant? Like me?"
She eyed him warily but nodded.
"Good. Then you can stay here. Arcadius will be more than willing," Matthew explained, putting his hands down. "I'll go get him now!"
"Wait!" the girl hissed, grabbing the back of his shirt. Matthew turned around. "What is this place?"
"What is this place?" Matthew repeated, turning his head around. She nodded. "This is a school for people like us; a school for mutants to live and learn. Here, no human can ever hurt you again."
So... yes? No? Maybe so?
