This is my new story this chapter is just an introduction to the characters and the ground work for some of the storylines, I would really like some reviews so anyway here's the first chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter 1
"There comes a time in every child's life when they must grow up unfortunately in the lives of mutants that time comes earlier then all would wish, I am Charles Xavier I taught the X-men and now I open my doors to their children…I remember the day all of my students came to live with me"
James Munroe, Nathan Summers, T.J Wagner and Warren Worthington IV train hard because they are the next generation of X-men, they have lived for most of their lives in the Xavier institute for gifted youngsters for various reasons. The other X-men grew up and had children as well but for most of them their lives have been happier so far then for these four unlucky teams.
James Munroe son of Storm and Wolverine is fatherless or at least to the best of his knowledge an orphan his father died in a battle with Hydra to save the life of X-23 who also unfortunately died.
Nathan Summers who along with James has lived in the mansion all his life is motherless, his mothers powers grew out of control or she was possessed by ancient evil no one knows for sure but what they do know is that she destroyed herself to spare the world any pain even though this gave great pain to her husband and son.
Talia Josephine Wagner was born with a visible mutation similar to her fathers, her blue fur and prehensile tail let her stand out in a crowd even a crowd of mutants, her mother was Wanda Maximoff who shortly after her birth fell under the spell of Mastermind and vanished without a trace not even Charles Xavier using Cerebro or her grandfather Magneto could find him, she knows for a fact if her grandfather found him he would be torn apart, she has always known her grandfather as the loving nurturing man as all of the second and third generation mutants have but she also knows he used to be very different, Kurt has for the past few years been indisposed in one temple or another, he is training to be a priest of the highest order and that takes many years Talia understands but it doesn't stop her missing her father.
Warren Worthington the IV has the same powers as his father, giant wings sprout from his back but unfortunately that is all he gets from his father or maybe he gets more then anyone could hope for. Warren Worthington III is a caring man but when his lover X-23 died with Wolverine he became cold and uncaring especially to his son this caused Warren to become cold and uncaring to the world and hate his father.
The four train hard because they want to show a perfect team when their new members arrive, children of the X-men from around the world are winging there way top Bayville at that very second and should arrive tomorrow.
Cody Le Beau stretches out over the two seats he has, the seat next to him was for his brother but Jean Luc had since decided to not join the X-men he explained to his parents and brother fully in a letter…Screw You guys love Jean Luc. Cody doesn't mind he and his brother haven't seen eye to eye for many years. His mother Rogue and his father Gambit began to date shortly after the Apocalypse incident years earlier and even though it pains Cody to think about it were able to conceive because Rogue lost her powers after her fight with the god like mutant.
Katrina Alvers the girl who Cody has had a crush on since her ninth birthday party was also flying to Bayville from Chicago, she has only got one seat because her mother knew that her brother wasn't going. Kat is practically a carbon coy of her mom whilst her brother Max is practically a carbon copy of their dad even down to the bad attitude. Kitty and Lance weren't dating for long, Lance had been working for S.H.I.E.L.D as a free lance agent but after a few shady deals was fired and court-martialled, Lance now works for a trucking company in New York and Max lives with him.
Noriko Crisp doesn't fly anywhere she runs, Noriko was born with a unique mix of her parents powers not only can she fire electricity like her father and sparks like her mother but somehow the two mixed and allow her to run at super high speeds but she tires quickly if she does not absorb more power. Noriko stops for a breather at a electric pylon and makes sure only to take enough so not to deplete the grid to much, she sighs as she looks at the map and sets of again at her high speed with her lower half looking like a bolt of lightning. Ray and Jubilee got together when they went to the same college, they spent a lot of time together and eventually grew into more, Jubilee became a high powered corporate executive while Ray became a beat cop to this day he's still proud that he hasn't had to use his gun of course he just zaps the occasional criminal to slow them down but that's it.
Jay Guthrie is your regular farm boy plaid shirt dirty jeans growing up in the country except his mom is a Scottish wolf and his dad is a guided missile of a man. Jay is incredibly close to his huge family but the time has come for him to leave which he is doing as he rockets through the sky under his own power, like his father he has a biokinetic force field but he has more control then his father, he can direct it to move objects, protects things, fly and it also gives him great strength and invulnerability.
These are the new X-men and they wing their way to their new home the Xavier institute where they will be welcomed with open arms but there are some who would not be so welcome by some.
He hates what he's doing but he knows he hasn't got any choice it's either this or foster care. The train pulls into the station as he slides open the side of the car he is stowing away in 'Might as well live in the lap of luxury for a while' he thinks to himself as he jumps from the car causing the ground to shake, he casts a glance into the direction he's going before leaping into the air and being gone.
….
"It is good to see you all again it seems like it has been to long" smiled Xavier as he sits in front of the collected X-kids "We just have t wait for our final few students to arrive and then we can begin the festivities."
"Professor…isn't everyone here" asked Nathan as he cast a quick glance around the room at the mutants, indeed those who had agreed to enrol were all present even if a few looked like their minds were somewhere else, Cody sat next to Kat and eyed her coyly as Nate smiled when he caught a couple of the boys stray thoughts.
"Yes but there are a few new student who we are awaiting who have agreed to join our school and I believe the first should be arriving any second" said Xavier as he quickly slammed his wheel chair into reverse just in time as the ceiling collapsed where he had been sitting. The teen stood before the group with a cocky smile, his red hair hung around his neck and a checked shirt was wrapped around his waist "everyone this is my nephew Justin, He is staying with us for the time being and I believe you know his father Cain…Next time Justin would you please use the door."
"If I feel like it Cue ball maybe" smiled Justin as he plonked down on the edge of a sofa sending the other side and Talia flying into the air, Talia span in mid air and landed on her feet with a bow before shifting Noriko along and plonking herself down on the arm of her chair.
"The other two students were flying from the UK and I believe they're both coming up the driveway now, Scott if you would" said Xavier with a motion as Cyclops left the room to greet the guests. The students waited patiently for the door to swing back open, they were almost anxious to see the new students as the door swung open.
A blonde girl who was around sixteen or seventeen walked in, she was beautiful or so Nathan Summers thought as he got to his feet instantly to welcome her. "Hi I'm Nathan…Nate, Nate Summers" said Nathan as the usual cool and collected leader of the new X-men tripped over his words.
"Suave X-boy really Suave" sniggered James with his usual sarcastic contempt for James, the two never really got on even though they grew up with each other and were as close as brothers. A sort of sibling rivalry had emerged when they were young which then turned into a dislike of one another. Nathan blushed as he sat back down, the blonde girl smiled at him and sat down.
"This is Theresa Cassidy, she has came to join us all the way from Ireland. How was the plane flight my dear?" asked Beast as he stretched out his hand to shake, Theresa seemed a little taken back at first but smiled at the blue beast who was slightly greying and shook his hand politely.
"Oh Aye, me flight was perfect but den agen it always is when I fly myself" said Theresa in her Irish accent with a smile, Theresa emitted sonic screams from her throat which can cause great pain amongst other effects one of which is flying, by emitting a certain frequency her body vibrates molecules of air which lift her body from the ground and enables flight.
Xavier smiled at the girl warmly and welcomed her telepathically as the last of the new students at the Xavier institute stepped through the door followed by Cyclops. "This is Jonothon Chambers" said Cyclops, he always was a man of few words unless he was talking about something tedious like the meticulous planning of his garage tool bench.
"HI" said Jono telepathically as he waved to the assembled group, Jono wasn't what you would expect of a superhero he was tall, thin and looked like he was about to fall over at any second, his spiky black hair and huge leather jacket made him look even thinner, around his lower face was wrapped a black woollen scarf to finish of his look he had large black boots and a metal chain hanging from his belt.
"Ya think this guys power is bad dress sense, it's summer and he's bundled up like its mid winter" said Kat with a little giggle, Cody laughed with a little t much enthusiasm at the joke, Cody wasn't used to being like this usually he had just as much charm as his father and brother but whenever he gets around Kat he becomes a complete geek.
Magneto who so far had been sitting quietly caught this comment and fixed Kat with a steely gaze "That wasn't very funny Katrina, perhaps you would dress similarly if you had the problems wit your power as Jonothan had with his…why don't you tell us all about it and a little about yourself Mr Chambers maybe that will lead to a few less nasty comments.
"Okay…I'm Jonothan Chambers but you can just call me Jono, I'm from England and I'm into rock music, my band were doing really well recently and we'd just been signed to a record label and this future gods of rock tour, anyway Dog Vomit had just played a great set and we were next up now this is on the main stage at Wembley bloody arena so we were trying really hard. I was in the middle of my solo when my bloody power showed up, blew away my chest half my bloody face and killed my girlfriend" said Jono telepathically as he wiped a tear from his face and pulled his scarf away from his face, the heat made the closest to him cover their faces as they looked at the boy who had his neck and jaw missing, flames of energy coiled around his neck and blazed forward before he pulled his scarf back "So now I got some biokinetic bloody nuclear PowerStation in my chest, don't need to eat or breath only sleep cos I haven't got anything better to I've got unlimited energy and cant talk so it's friggin lucky I got telepathy with these powers isn't it, I wouldn't even be able to be standing this close to you lot if the professor hadn't givin me this unstable molecule clothes stuff that kept my powers in line."
"Maybe next time Kat hold your tongue" said Magneto with another steely gaze at the girl who now felt about an inch tall.
"I'm sorry" said Kat as she barely cast her gaze up at the lad who was smiling or at least she thought he was, it was hard to tell when he didn't have a mouth but from the top of his face it looked like he was smiling or breaking wind as Talia thought to herself which caused Jono to laugh.
…
The night went on as the young x-men talked and laughed long into the night but eventually the night got the better of some. Jay was the first to retire, being a farm boy he was used to going to bed early that plus flying all the way to Bayville under his own power tired the kid greatly, he was followed shortly after by Noriko who was also tired and Theresa who was watched carefully by Nate as she exited the room. Many of the others bid goodnight and vanished to their new bedrooms leaving only those who didn't need to sleep and those who were to ashamed to admit they needed to sleep.
Nate sat yawning but unwilling to go to bed before the others as he sat across from James who smiled at his rivals tiredness. Justin sat drinking a bottle of scotch he had liberated from Xavier's private collection much to Nate's disapproval "Shut up…I own half of this house it was left jointly to my dad and cue ball so don't forget it so everything is half mine and I'm sure chuck wouldn't mind me taking his half of this bottle and if he does to bad for him what's he going to do run over my foot."
Jono sat chatting telepathically with Cody who was using telepathy to talk back he wasn't sure exactly who it was from but there were three telepaths in the house Nate, Xavier and Jono and he had mimicked at least one of their powers unconsciously. Cody can hold five powers at half potency of their original, he always had the powers of his father as one but the other four he had been slowly switching between to mutants in the house to see which ones he enjoyed the most. Cody at the moment sat with a giant pair of wings throwing little electric charges between his hands as he chatted with Jono.
"So let me get this straight, you copy up to five peoples powers at a time but only at half strength" asked Jono as Cody switched from the bolts to levitating a cup of tea that Nate was drinking, Nate used his own telekinesis to put it back down.
"Only at half power though so right now I'm half as strong as Justin" said Cpdy with a smile as he lifted Jono's chair above his head.
"This is a psychic announcement to all students could you all please retire to your own room, you have a busy day a head of you tomorrow" said Xavier telepathically to all of those in the living room and the girls who had taken it on themselves to have a girl chat in Talia's room.
"You heard him time for bed" yawned Nate as he stretched and began to walk to the door.
"Professor do I have to go to my room, I don't need to sleep and I would like to have a little look around" asked Jono as he shifted his weight in the chair.
"Okay Jonothan you may stay up but please do not make to much noise" informed Xavier.
"I'm not going to bed, I'm no baby" growled Justin as he dropped down in a chair opposite Jono causing it to buckle and collapse "I'm going for a walk actually" said the giant teen as he got to his feet and climbed through the window.
…
Cody stretched as he walked down the corridor to the bathroom in his underwear, Kat walked through the door from Talia's room and solidified just as she walked into him, Kat went flying backwards and skidded across the floor in her nightdress. Cody blushed and helped her up, "Sorry about that" said Cody.
"No…I should watch where I'm going" smiled Kat bashfully, she had just noticed Cody's well toned body and was busy thinking how much he had changed in the last few years and how cute he was turning out to be. Cody had unfortunately just mimicked Nate's powers and picked up Kats thoughts which caused some thoughts of his own to transmit, Kat blushed brightly as Cody began to feel a little tightness in his boxer shorts.
"Excuse me….I have to…I have to…bye" said Cody as he turned randomly and opened the first door he came to, he closed the door and sank low to the floor with an embarrassed sigh when suddenly a light clicked on, Noriko sat in bed firing sparks around her hand to light the room.
"Cody what the Hell are you doing!" screamed Noriko as she shot a bolt at the boy, she was usually quite reasonable but could get angry easily and hold a grudge better then anyone. Cody stammered a little and slipped through the door using Kat's powers, he stood up and turned around only to see T.J in her door way giggling with Kat, Cody blushed again and Bamfed away as he copied T.J's powers.
…
Nate was woken by a low humming in the back of his mind, he rubbed his eyes groggily as he stared out of the window as a dark shape passed by, his superhero instincts kicked in as he telekinetically moved the molecules of his bed linen into an X-men training uniform, he opened his windows and flew into the air. Nate hovered above the roof and rotated as he looked for the being which had invaded the manors grounds, he saw it coming straight at him giving off the same noise in the back of his mind, he powered up a telekinetic blast ready to blast as a beautiful face came into view. Theresa smiled at Nate which caused him to lose concentration as he plummeted towards the floor, Theresa grabbed his foot and hovered as he swung uselessly below her.
"You okay down there" laughed Theresa as Nate righted himself with his TK and blushed madly.
"I just lost my balance a little, I have to concentrate to fly" smiled Nate as he raised moved a few strands of hair from his forehead.
"Aren't you supposed to be our leader? Remind me not to fly near you on missions" laughed Theresa before she realised she had just insulted him and blushed.
"You just took me by surprise" said Nate as he thought to himself "Why did you lose your balance? You've stayed in flight as things exploded around you in the danger room but as soon as you see a beautiful girl you fall head first to the floor, oh she's so beautiful". Nate had a few problems keeping his thoughts to himself when in emotional situations and whilst it doesn't really rank up there with the death of his mother a horny teenage boy can be plenty emotional as Theresa caught the last part of his mental monologue she smiled widely to try and hide her embarrassment.
"I woke up and thought I'd have a look around, I'm still on UK time so its mid morning to me" said Theresa with a smile "do you want to have a little fly around perhaps you could give me a guided tour?" Nate was suddenly very aware of his tongue and nodded.
…
Jono walked around the ground looking at all the buildings and little constructs scattered throughout the ground right now he was looking at the boat house on the edge of the lake "How the hell did I get myself into this" thought Jono to himself. A smell of sulphur spread throughout the air as Talia bamfed in front of him.
"Hi elf" said Jono to the blue teenager who weakly smiled back with a tear running down her face. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that as an insult" said Jono as he placed his hand on her shoulder and felt her fur under his fingers.
"Don't be stupid. It's not you" said Talia as she wiped away a tear "I didn't know you were here" she said as she tried to change the subject.
"So what you doing out here?" asked Jono as he slumped onto a bench overlooking the lake and patted the seat next to him, Talia sat down and hugged her knees to her chest.
"I just come out to think sometimes" she said Jono sat patiently listening "It's all just gotten a little too much for me at the moment, when all of you turned up I saw everyone all of us mutants and realised I'm a freak among freaks. I know looks don't matter and all that other stuff that dad taught me but I'm furry and have a tail it's not generally what guys go for. The kids at school know were all mutants and they don't mind showing their disapproval but some of them are okay with us, I even went on a few dates but when the guy's leaned in to give me a kiss or put there arm around me they felt my fur through my image inducer and ran a mile, it all starts again in a couple of days, hiding behind a hologram without anyone really knowing me and not being able to let anyone close to me…I'm sorry this is your first night here I shouldn't be giving you my pity party, sorry…bye."
"No wait..." said Jono but she had already bamfed away, Jono smiled to himself Talia was special he could tell, when he spoke to her at the party and just then he felt happy again for the first time since his girlfriend. Jono brushed away a tear as he thought about her "Talia might think she's a freak but she has no idea really,she's a lovely bird, she's smart, funny and beautiful whilst I'm only half a man. I would love to give it ago but we cant I cant let myself get close to anyone again not after last time." Jono brushed another tear away and cast his eyes across the lake where on the other shore he could see the distinctive shape of Justin talking to another shape which slowly rose into the air and flew away over the ground, it passed Jono and all he could make out was a billowing crimson cape just like the one that Magneto had been wearing earlier.
The end. I'm going to end this chapter here, I believe I've covered the ground work for the characters and story. So I'll just finish with a teaser…Will the X-teens get together? Who was the mysterious crimson man? and what was he doing talking to Justin?
Could everyone review please and tell me what you think and would you please tell me what you think about the characters like who is your favourite so far.
