Amazing X-men

It was a sunny day in New York; the kids were playing in the park while their mothers sat on the benches, relaxing as the boiling heat swept through the air. But there was one kid in particular who seemed out of place, one whose mother wasn't happily watching him. In a flash, the kids stopped playing and froze in their position, the mothers kept still, not even breathing. The sound stopped. The kid was the only thing that moved. As he walked past the still statues of the children; some of them fat boys sliding down the metal slides, some of them were young blond girls hanging from the monkey bars. He then noticed another moving figure, impossible, he thought. The figure got closer and he saw a bald man in a wheelchair. Slowly, with discomfort, the boy walked toward the man, wondering who it is.
"Young man, what is your name?" the boy heard, but he noticed the man's lips weren't moving.
"Err, Charlie?" the boy shouted, he was nervous, the man could sense it.
"Hello Charlie, my name is Xavier; I'm the head at the Xavier Institute for mutants. These are people just like you, they were born with these powers but they don't know how to use them, with my help, you can control those abilities and help save the world" the man announced.
The kid froze in his position, was he telling the truth? He took another step further, walking toward the man. Then, all of a sudden, a gunshot was fired and hit the boy's leg.
"Who did that?" Xavier shouted.
A man walked up to them wearing heavy protection gear and a shotgun.
"Mutant Scum" the man shouted as he put the gun to the boys crying head.
"Charlie, you must listen to me, I know it's hard, but you must unfreeze time, let everyone know what this man has done" Xavier spoke to the boy telepathically.
The man put his finger to the trigger, it was now or never.
The boy shut his eyes, tightly closed. He concentrated harder than he ever had, forgetting about the pain from the leg gushing out blood, forgetting about the man with a gun to his head, and most of all, forgetting about the man in the wheelchair.
The man laughed, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The boy fell to the floor, dead.
In that moment, there were hundreds of screams, all of them coming from the Children in the park and the mothers, running up to get their children out of the murder scene.
"You killed him, now you will pay" Xavier said to the man using his faults.
The murderer quickly run away, he knew he was now a dead man.
Wolverine then jumped out of a tree.
"Where you goin bub?" Wolverine spat as his claws cut the man's legs off.
He fell to the ground, he was helpless.
"Please, spare me" the man cried.
"Why should I? Did you spare that kid when you shot him? Or did you just kill him?" Wolverine asked as raised his fist in front of the man's head.
He then punched the man in the head, the claws cut through to the other side.
Wolverine then walked over to Xavier.
"How many more of these b******s are out there?" Wolverine asked.
"There's still plenty more, but I swear, I will take this company down if it's the last thing I do. Tell Cyclops, I'm forming a team…"
