The X-Men is one of my favorite Marvel Superhero teams so I decided to write a fanfic for it. I do not own the X-Men except for my OC Melissa Brooks aka Eruption. It follows the second movie except my character is in it.

So without further ado, I give you the first Chapter. :)

It was a warm day in Westchester New York, and Professor Charles Xavier and the other teachers at Xavier's School for Higher Learning decided to take the children to the museum. Four of the older students had decided to get a bite to eat after their lesson. One of the students was around 16 years old. He had short blonde hair that was spiky on top and bright blue eyes. He was wearing a blue short sleeve shirt, a blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and brown shoes. His name was Bobby Drake aka Iceman. The other was a young teenage girl around 16 as well. She had long black hair with white highlights and dark brown eyes. She was wearing a long sleeve black shirt, black gloves, blue jeans, and black shoes. Her name was Marie but everyone called her Rogue.

The third teenager was a young man around the age of 17. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a brown long sleeve button down shirt, a brown leather jacket, blue jeans, and brown shoes. His name was John Allerdyce or Pyro as everyone called him. And finally, the fourth was a teenage girl around the age of 17. She had long brown hair that reached the center of her back and brown eyes. She was wearing a red tank top, a blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and black leather high heeled boots. Her name was Melissa Brooks or Eruption.

These four teenagers were different from others because they were mutants. Bobby had the ability to create ice. Rogue had the power to absorb a person's life form as well as absorb a mutant's power. Pyro had the ability to control fire which is why he always carried a lighter with him.

Melissa was different from the others even though she was a mutant. She had the ability to heal from almost any wound and create fire but that wasn't the unusal part. She could also make metal claws pop out from in between her knuckles. She was almost certain her claws were bone at one time, but one morning she woke up and saw that they were metal. She had no clue how they became covered in metal but she did have strange dreams almost every night. She would see herself inside a long tube filled to the top with a green colored liquid and wires attached to her. She would also see shadowed figures walking around the room talking to one another but she could never quite make out what they were saying.

Melissa wondered if those dreams might not be a dreams which was one of the reasons why she came to the X-Mansion. Professor Xavier the founder of the X-Mansion, said he couldn't really tell her a whole lot about who she was because a man named Logan was already on the same journey as she was. According to Xavier, he was in the same position as her. He was currently out on a mission to Alkali Lake to see if that was where the procedure was done on him and that she would have to wait for more information until his return.

Melissa also had a hard time trusting others. But she did have a few people at the X-Mansion that she felt she could somewhat trust and those were the people she was sitting in the cafeteria with now. Bobby and Rogue have tried to convince her over and over again that she could complete trust them but she wasn't sure if she was ready to call them friends just yet. She didn't really like to get close to anyone but that was quite difficult when it came to Pyro. She had feelings for Pyro and she knew that he really liked her but every time he would mention it she would push him away. They had gone out a few times and were technically boyfriend and girlfriend but the two hadn't kissed yet. Melissa was very grateful that Pyro never pushed her. He realized that she had trouble trusting people and he didn't want to do anything that would make her hate him.

But as the four were enjoying themselves, two men a little older then they were came up to their table and they were arguing with Pyro.

"My brother asked you a simple question," the younger of the two boys asked.

"Why are you being such a dick," his older brother asked.

"Yeah, why are you being such a dick," his younger brother repeated.

"Because I can," Pyro simply said as he continued to open and close his lighter.

Melissa, Bobby, and Rogue chuckled as they turned to their friend.

"Can I have a light," the older guy asked.

"Hmm," Pyro said as he opened his lighter once more and stared at the small flame for a few seconds before shutting it and speaking. "Sorry can't help you out pal," Pyro said with a laugh.

"John knock it off," Rogue said.

"Why don't you stop showing off," Bobby asked.

"Oh for her," Pyro asked as he indicated Rogue. "I can't help it if your girlfriend's getting excited."

"I don't think she's getting excited," Bobby said.

"Don't get shook up we're trying to have a good time here alright," Pyro told him.

"I think you're the only one's that's having a good time," Melissa said as she turned to face her boyfriend.

"Oh come on," Pyro said as he turned to his girlfriend. "Not you to."

As Pyro and Melissa argued the older man snatched Pyro's lighter.

"Hey," Pyro said in an angry voice as he got to his feet to approach the older guy but his younger brother got in between them. "That's real cute man."

"What are you gonna do," the man asked as he blew smoke in Pyro's face. "Suddenly, you're not so tough."

"John don't," Melissa pleaded when she saw his right hand curl into a fist.

But instead of punching the guy who took his lighter, Pyro waited for the right moment until he saw a small flame appear on the end of the cigarette the man was smoking. He then blinked his left eye causing the flame to grow and catch the guy's sleeve on fire making him stumble backwards out of shock and hit the ground hard.

"John," Melissa yelled in an angry voice as she got to her feet and walked over to her boyfriend who was now laughing at the frightened look on the young man's face.

A small crowd had gathered around them as Bobby and Rogue got to their feet. Bobby held out his right hand and shot a small wave of ice at the man putting the fire out. But the moment he did this, everyone in the museum became as still as a statue.

"Bobby what did you do," Rogue asked with shock in her voice as she looked around at all the frozen people.

"I didn't do this," Bobby told her who looked just as shocked as she did.

"No I did," Professor Xavier said as he and the other teachers and students came into the room.

The four teenagers turned around to face their Professor and saw that he didn't look happy.

"And the next time you feel like showing off...don't," Professor Xavier said to Pyro.

"Breaking news," a reporter said on the television in the room. Everyone turned their attention to the small TV to hear what the reporter had to say. "We're coming to you live from Washington where there's been an attack in the Oval Office of the White House," the reporter continued. "Details are still coming in, but we have been informed that the President and Vice President were not harmed. Sources say that the attack involved one or more mutants."

"I think it's time to leave Professor," Scott Summers (or Cyclops) said.

"I think you're right," Professor Xavier said.

After everyone made it out of the museum, Professor Xavier released the physic hold he had on everyone and they were able to move again.
