So this was my idea for a new X-Men Evolution fanfiction. It kind of centers around a kid named Josh from Indiana. He keeps his powers secret but everyone knows he is a mutant, instead he uses his physical qualities to beat the "bad guys" For now this is going to go from view to view, going on each X-Man individually to show you what they think of Josh. Eventually I plan to turn the story into a 1st person story, either from Scott's or Jean's POV, with the occasional POV switch.


Professor Xavier was anxious. He was bringing a new mutant to the manor, one's whose power rivaled even that of himself. Not that Xavier knew what this boy's power was, but he could sense the power...like he had with a young Jean Grey so long ago. Josh refused to use his powers but Cerebro pointed him out as a mutant and he had never known the master machine to be wrong.

The 2 were in the car with Wolverine, Xavier and Josh in the backseat. Josh was a shy young man, but once he felt more at ease he may be more comfortable in revealing his power.

They pulled up to the mansion and Logan put the car in park. He turned to face the backseat.

"I'll be back." Logan said to them.

They got out of the car and Logan left.

"I realize that this will be incredibly different from Indiana, but you are among friends here." Xavier told the young recruit.

Josh cocked his eye to the immediate left.

Ice shards flew to the head of the new recruit but he back-flipped over the Professor, completely dodging the ice shards.

Bobby, aka Iceman, came running after his ice shards like they were something he had to retrieve.

"Sorry Professor." Bobby said, stopping.

"I'm not the one you should be apologizing too. It's Josh who you nearly hit."

"I didn't...I...Sorry Josh." He said, his head down.

"It's cool bro." Josh said.

"You new?" Bobby asked.

"Yeah man just got in." Josh replied.

"Cool...I'll show you around Bayville...tomorrow if you want." Bobby suggested. It seems that Bobby also sensed that Josh was powerful. Was it possible that all mutants could detect his strength? Was this boy that powerful?

"Sounds great...Thanks." Josh said.

"Anytime. Professor X...you want me to show him around the mansion?" Bobby asked.

"Good suggestion Bobby. Put him in the room next to Scott's and introduce him to the other X-Men."

"Come on." Bobby said to Josh.

Josh shrugged and followed Bobby into the mansion. Bobby showed Josh the lower level then worked his way up. The 2 hit it pretty hard. They both had family problems since they were mutants(not that that's unusual) both had little brothers. And Josh, like bobby, left a girlfriend behind when he moved to Bayville. Finally Bobby showed him his room.

"Cool." Josh said walking in to the room. He jumped on the bed and laid back."Comfortable." He added.

"Yeah its..." The alarm rang and Josh shot up like a lightning bolt.

"That's our cue." Bobby said to the new recruit.

Josh grabbed his red backpack and ran after Bobby. Bobby didn't get too far ahead so Josh didn't lose him but Josh had already memorized the layout of the mansion, so there really was no need.

The 2 reached the lower levels and saw the main X-Men; Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Kurt Vachner, Rogue, Beast, Kitty, and the Professor.

"Who is he?" Scott asked, pointing to Josh.

"His name is Josh." Bobby answered.

"There will be time for pleasantries later, for now we have work to do."

The team changed into their uniforms.

Josh looked from his backpack to the professor for assurance.

Professor X nodded encouragingly.

Josh pulled out his suit. It was nothing like anything the X-Men had. The closest resemblance it had was to Cyclops' suit. It had shoulder pads, but instead of an X it had an owl symbol in the pad. Then it had a blue lion on the front of it. Other than that it was completely black.

Josh pulled on his suit in the time it took Bobby to ice up.

"Have a lot of practice doing that?" Bobby asked.

"You have no idea." Josh said pulling one last article of clothing from the backpack. It was a brilliant blue ski mask, only you couldn't see his face it was completely covered. Josh pulled it on to his face and zipped the back of it onto his suit.

"Where can I get a suit like his?" Nightcrawler asked.

"I made it...It's one of a kind." Josh answered.

"Cyclops. You, Jean, and Nightwing will take the gunfight on 54th street."

"Whoa wait professor...who's Nightwing?" Nightcrawler asked.

"Josh of course." He replied.

"Wait Professor X, he's new...we can't just put him in the middle of a gunfight." Jean said.

"You watch yourself and Cyclops." Josh cut in. "I'll take them down quick and easy."

"Have you ever been in a gunfight?" Beast asked.

"I've never held a gun in a gunfight but I've been in the middle of gunfights." Josh(Nightwing) said.

"And?" Cyclops asked.

"As you can see." Josh said waving his hands.

"Nightwing may be reluctant to use his powers but his physical abilities more than compensate his reluctance to use his powers." Prof X explained.

"What's your power?" Cyclops asked.

"Not now." Nightwing growled.

"Fine, let's move." Cyclops said.

The trio ran to the X-Jeep and hopped in. Cyclops put in the keys into the ignition and floored the gas. The other X-Men were on their way to a bank heist.

The police cars were in a wedge formation, trying to protect the officers from adversary bullets. Cyclops slammed on the breaks and slid into a 90 degree stop, but before the turn was completed Nightwing had unbelted himself and leaped from the car. Wings came out from his silver backpack type thing on his back.

He flew over to the enemy lines and landed before the other 2 got out of the jeep. Scott was considering just blasting the adversary's car but about a minute after Jean threw up a shield...the gunfire from the opposing side stopped.

The police held their fire but no one moved.

A blue disk came out from behind the opposing car and went right through Jean's shield, which shocked her to the point she dropped it, but it flew right past her and slammed itself right into the hand of some guy who had snuck up on the officers and the X-Men with a gun, the gun was knocked away from the force of the disk.

Jean was about to throw a telekinetic push his way but Nightwing came out from the front of the wedge formation and jumped over all of them, landing an inch from the man with the gun.

"Hello." Nightwing said in a deep voice.

Nightwing punched him in the face and the criminal fell to the ground.

Then the new X-Man walked away. Jean and Scott hurried after him, jumping in the jeep and hitting the gas.

Nightwing cocked his head in their direction and jumped into the jeep.

No one said a word as they drove to the bank where a heist was underway.
