Going out with a third fanfic is quite a big deal for a newcomer. At least that's what I think. So enjoy, feedback and critisism is still accepted. Oh, I almost forgot the disclaimer. Here goes..

Disclaimer: I, The Storytelling Wraith, do not own any pre-existing characters in this story.
That should do it. Getting a bit tired of these...zzz
'insert text' = Thoughts

"Good morning class."
"Good morning Miss Munroe." the usual class answered. Today, for most, would just have been another normal day, but a new student was on his way. He himself was excited, after his request of joining the school, was granted. But there was just one problem.

"Dammit, late on the first day! I better move faster." said the new student to himself, as he was making his way to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. "I might just make it! YE-" He was interrupted when he accidentally trampled another student of the school. A southern bell named Anna Marie, also known as, Rouge.
"OW! Watch it!" she yelled at him, when she hit the ground. "I'm so sorry, but I've got to get to class. I'll make it up to you later." he apoligized, quickly turning away to keep running. 'She was actually kinda cute.' the young student thought to himself.

"Ah, here it is." He quickly opened the door, interrupting the ongoing lecture.
"Good, your here" the teacher, known as Ororo Munroe, said.
"I'm so sorry that I'm late Miss Munroe."
"It doesn't matter, but now that you're here, why don't you introduce yourself?" she asked him.
"Yes. Of course. As you can see, I'm new here." His confidence shined off of his voice. "My name is Gabriel Vanos and I hope that you will accept as one of your own." His smile, and everything else, clearly caught the attention of all of the girls in class. Every single one of their eyes read "My god. He. Is. HOT!" 'This is not gonna go well in the long run.' Gabriel thought to himself, knowing how guys. He knew that he looks like a competition. REAL competition. Being a solid 6 feet tall, having unnatural amber coloured eyes, long brown hair, that slightly touches the bottom of his jaw and a built body, he was one that could make guys do a double-take.
"Please, take a seat Gabriel." said Miss Munroe.
"Thank you Miss." Looking for an empty spot, he spotted an empty table. 'There. I'll take that one.' he thought whilst moving towards the empty two-personed table. Taking the right side, the person next to him, greeted him."Hello there, I'm Robert Drake, the Iceman." he said as he held out his hand.
"Hi, I'm Gabriel, as you probably know now. Nice to meet you Robert." he answered taking the Iceman's cool hand.
"Please, call me Bobby" he said with a smile. "By the way.." he started.
"Yeah?" Gabriel had an idea or two about what he was gonna say.
"That seat next to you, belongs to Anna Marie, Rouge. She is not exactly good with newcomers"
'Well, the first thought was right. I wonder if..' His thoughts were interrupted by the door, suddenly opening again.
"Well, it nice of you to finally join us Anna." You could tell that Miss Munroe was displeased.
"Yeah whatever" Anna answered with a spiteful tone.
"That's her right there" said Bobby. Gabriel's face said it all. "What is it?" Bobby was obviously curious.
"I accidentally bumped into her on my way here and she fell to the ground."
"Ooooh, not good man." Bobby apparently knew what he was talking about.
"Lucky for you, Anna, we are wrapping up here. Everyone, the next class is with Logan in the simulation chamber." said Ororo.
'The Wolverine teaches here? Well this should be interesting' Gabriel thought with a smirk.

"Well, as we have a new student on board, I think he should off his potential. What do you think kiddo?" Logan was a big guy, definitely intimidating, but that didn't keep Gabriel from finally stretching out.
"I'd be glad to" he answered. "Just let me stretch first." Logan was waiting for him to get on with it. "You might wanna step back a bit teach." Logan did as he said and a second later Gabriel had ripped open his shirt, but it started from the back. Two mighty black wings sprouted from his back. Now he was the intimidating one. The wings made him look bigger, tougher, maybe even menacing. But that didn't hinder the girls from staring.
"He looks so good, right Anna?" a certain brown haired girl asked.
"He looks alright, don't overdo it Kitty." Even if she didn't like him, she had to admit that he was a good looking guy.
"Shall we start teach?" Gabriel was just asking for some action.
"Alright kid, you will get your exercise. Turn on the simulation!" Logan said loudly. The room then transformed into what seemed like a post-apocalyptic Earth. It was not long until some kind of radiated mutant spotted Gabriel's menacing appearence. That didn't stop it though.
"RRAARAARRAAAGH!" it roared loudly, charging at Gabriel.
"Super-mutants. Alright then. Bring it on!" The mutant punched square in the face, but he didn't even move an inch. "It's a shame really." The big mutant took a step back. "I thought this was gonna be challenging." He then proceeded to uppercut the mutant, his wings flinging him up to give the punch more power. "But I guess not." He was rather dissapointed. "Don't you have anything else? Something that will actually give me a challenge?" Gabriel asked challengingly.
"Right kiddo. I got something for ya." Logan's voice seemed to have summoned something big. A giant fleshy skeleton.
"Well it's definitely something. Let's see what how it stands against my flames." With that, his eyes, along with his hands, lit aflame. "Take this bonehead!" he yelled throwing a barrage of fireballs at the giant creature. It did not like it, as it in response, lifted its giant fist in an attempt to hit him. "Oh no you don't!" he yelled in response and then, like a dragon, he breathed fire onto the undead giant, incinerating it to dust.

"THAT, was also dissapointing." You could tell that he was a little mad.
"I would've taken it up a notch, but I guess not." Logan was annoyed by the comment, but still. "You know what it really was kid? Impressive. You should be proud of yourself. Class dismissed." Gabriel was surprised at Logan's response on his comment. 'He thinks it was impressive? Awesome! And that's coming from THE Wolverine'
"That. Was. Awesome!" A red haired girl eagerly rushed towards him. "Oh, sorry. My name is Emily Rose, but you can call me Ivy" she said with enthusiasm.
"Well Ivy, glad to meet you, why don't we go outside? I want to see your powers." he said with a smile
"Sure, but can you put a shirt first. It's kinda awkward." He facepalmed at the thought of him forgetting to bring an extra shirt. "Um, I saw a rose garden out front. I'll meet you there when I've gotten myself a shirt."
"No prob Gabe. See you then. And don't forget the shirt!" she yelled while running off. Probably to garden. 'Well I better get going. Well. Flying I guess'

After about a half an hour, he had quickly gotten settled in. His roomate at school was Bobby, which was lucky for him, but now, he had to go meet up with Ivy. When he arrived at the rose garden, he noticed that there was noone there.
"Hello? Ya here Ivy?" he called out
"I'm right here." He recognized the voice. She was hanging on a branch from a nearby tree. "Ready for a show?" she asked with a slightly cocky smile. He smirked at this.
"Show me what you got" She then slowly raised her hands and the flowers around started to grow, both the plant itself and its thorns.
"Power over plants. That's something else I'll admit." It was impressive how they grew so quickly.
"Yeah, and it's ironic how it fits my name."
"Yeah, it is." he said. 'This girl will become a good friend' "Why don't you introduce me to some of your friends? Kinda don't have any beside you and Bobby."
"Sure Gabe. Let's go."

Out back was a small forest with a lake. Well, it wasn't really a forest, more like a circle of trees.
"Are those your friends down by the lake?" There were two guys and two girls. He knew one of the girls cause of her white streak.
"Hi everyone!" Ivy said with a cheery smile.
"Hi Ivy" three of them said. Rogue didn't respond. "I would like you to meet Gabriel."
"Hi there nice to meet you" he said with his usual smile.
"Well you've already met Anna." Rogue gave Gabriel a slight glare sending a slight chill down his spine. This was not the bad kind of chill. "The one with the lighter is John Allerdyce, aka Pyro."
"Sup." John shortly greeted.
"The brown-haired one is Katherine, but we just call her Kitty."
"Hi Gabe."
"Hi, you were in my class right?" he asked.
"I was." she answered with a slight blush, lighting up her face.
"And last but not least, the big guy is errrh.."
"It's pronounced Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin."
'Russian, maybe polish?'
"Yeah. That, but you can just call him Colossus."
Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "I can see why people would call you Colossus, but that's beside the point. I'm always into peoples powers. May I see you in action?" he asked politely.
"Well, I can't see why not?" Colossus said. "I'll start." His skin then turned into what seemed like iron.
"Well I guess Ironman was taken. Strength boost?" Gabriel asked. Piotr nodded. "Alright Pyro, hit me with it."
"What?" Pyro was taken back by what he said.
"Your name is Pyro so I guess it has something to do with fire. I have an affinity with it too, so hit me." Pyro shook his slightly. He then suddenly thrusted his arm forward with his lighter on. The flame twisted, enlarged to an enormous size, and then engulfed Gabriel in flames. It didn't do anything. With and ear-piercing roar, the flames distinguished and Gabriel stood in the middle of the black spot that the flames left. Completely unharmed.
"See, told ya so." he said. He turned to face Katherine. "I guess it's your turn Ki-" Before he could finish she leapt through the nearby shack and back out. "Phasing through walls. Useful indeed." She blushed at his comment. "Now Rogue." she glared back at him. "What is your power?"
She smirked deviously as she said, "Give me your arm, I need some bare skin." He frowned a bit at her tone.
"Okay, here." he held out his arm and as soon as she touched him, a sharp pain ran through his arm. "Wow, that stings." he said, trying to be tough about it. She then let go and shot a fireball in the air.
"My touch is symbiotic. It saps you of health and I can gain your power for a bit."
"Interesting," he said. "I'll have to watch out then." he said with a smile on his face. She scowled at him at sat on the bench. "What variety. I commend you for your skill." he praised with a small bow. Now he would show them his powers, starting with a pretty sweet tagline. "My turn." He then quickly pulled off his shirt, and his majestic black wings sprung from his back. A fire-show was in order. He shot two fireballs into the air and spat bursts of ambers at them, making them both explode. Ivy then gave him a friendly shove with an added laugh.
"You show-off!"
Gabriel also started to laugh. "Hey! Now you're gonna get wet!" He quickly swooped her into his arms and quickly ran to the water.
"Nooooo..!" she said playfully.
"Resistance, is futile" he said jokingly. "Haha, I won't do it, that's not my style" he said in the same joking tone. Him being without a shirt, and Ivy in his strong arms, she couldn't help it and started to blush. He gently put her down after he noticed an once again facepalmed. "Hehe, good thing I didn't break it this time." He pulled out another white t-shirt out of the bag he had brought. "Now, why don't we just enjoy the evening?"
