Phantom X
A new mutant arrives at the Institute, okay that's normal, no biggie. But he has a twin and, guess what, that twin has no mutant powers whatsoever. But even though she's not a mutant she still has secrets of her own that could jeopardise the lives of the X-Men, and it all hits a little closer to home when she ends up falling for our favourite fuzzy elf.

Chapter 1
"MOM! HE'S AT IT AGAIN!"
"Alex, leave your sister alone!"
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"
"THEN WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BLOWDRYER?"
"MAYBE IT GOT TIRED OF LOOKING AFTER YOUR BIG FAT HEAD!"
"God, why did I have to have twins?" Samantha Fenton rubbed her temples trying to rub away the already growing headache as the two teens came tramping down the marble steps of their mansion. Twins with two completely different personalities that absolutely loved to grate each other's nerves, including their mother's.
"MOM, TELL ALEX TO LEAVE ME ALONE!" the twins yelled.
"Alex, leave your sister alone," she said.
"MOM!"
"Alex, leave your brother alone."
"But I didn't do anything!"
"Look, if I hear another word from either of you, you're not going that school," she threatened, pointing to the boy. "And I'm not sending you to your grandparents' this summer," she said, pointing to the girl.
The twins exchanged a look. "You're a horrible bluffer," they said.
"Then how about this?" their dad, the one and only Danny Fenton aka Danny Phantom, said, walking into the room.
"I'll cancel both of your training sessions for the next year," he threatened.
The twins blanched. "Y-yessir."
Sam grinned as the two ran off. "Nice," she said.
Danny grinned back and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "I know."
Upstairs in the room they shared, the twins hurried to get ready. Despite their ability to get on each other's nerves they still had the ability to work together perfectly.
"How's my hair?" Alex asked, passing her brush through the long dark locks.
"Put it in a clip and It'll be fine," Alex replied, hurriedly combing his own.
Alexis looked over at her brother and sighed. "Tie it back," she said, referring to his own long hair. "Or we'll be uber late."
"I'm stealing one of yours then," he said, pawing through her vanity till he found a plain black hair tie.
"How do I look?" she asked. Alex turned to see his sister wearing skinny jeans matched with a purple gothic corset bustier top and knee high leather heeled shoes.
"Like dad'll let you out of the house in that," he said, throwing a jacket on over his plain white shirt.
Alexis made a face before tying her hair up with a purple ribbon. "Maybe he won't notice?"
"Oh, he'll notice," Alex said grinning.
"If you two aren't ready in five minutes I'm going to work and we can forget about this whole thing!" Sam yelled.
The twins blanched and exchanged worried looks before grabbing their bags and running to the car.
"Ready!" they said, jumping into the car.
"Oh, no missy. There is no way in the two worlds am I letting you wear that!" Danny said, glaring at his daughter.
She chuckled sheepishly as Alex snickered in his corner.
"Wear what?" Sam asked, turning around. "Oh you look so cute in that."
"Thanks mom," Alexis replied. "See, mom likes it."
"Yeah, but your mom's idea of a family vacation is Gothapalooza," Danny countered.
"Which was awesome by the way," Alexis gushed.
"Oh yeah!" Sam agreed and the two exchanged a high-five. Danny sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Come on, let's get going. If she goes back in the house to change we'll end up being late," Sam said.
"Fine, but I'm not stopping at any gas stations or fast food places. I want one straight drive and maybe we'll actually be on time for something!" Danny said.
"As long as freakshow leaves me alone, we'll be fine," Alexis said, putting on her headphones and pulling out a book.
"Now what fun is that?" Alex teased, leaning over to start torturing his sister.
"If you touch me, I'm tossing each and every one of your Yu-Gi-Oh cards out the window," Alexis threatened.
"Please, you don't even have them," he said. "They're in my back pack," and to prove his point he dove into his back but came up empty handed. "Hey, where's my cards?"
"You mean, these cards?" she asked, grinning as she held up his deck.
"Give them back!" Alex demanded.
"Or what?" she asked.
"Or the book goes!" and he made a grab for her book but ended up getting a face full of foot.
"Oh please, you've gotta do way better than that," she said. And before long the back seat had turned into a war zone.
"Just two more hours Sammy," Danny said rubbing her shoulders and grinning slightly at the defeated look on Sam's face. "Just two and it'll all be over," he said as a particularly loud yell came from the back.
~PHANTOM X~
"Mr. Daniel Fenton, I presume?" the professor said, referring to the simply dressed man who was now stepping out of the car. Danny nodded at the bald man sitting in the wheel-chair before him.
"Yeah, but call me Danny," he said, shaking his hand. "The only people that call me Daniel are my parents and anyone who's angry with me."
He nodded "I am Professor Charles Xavier my student simply call me, Professor," he said. "And that must be your wife, Samantha," he said, referring to the woman now getting out of the car.
"Yeah, but don't call her Samantha," he said. "You can use anything else, but not Samantha."
He nodded and at that moment the twins chose to make their appearance.
Alex came out first after practically being kicked out of the car by his sister. "God! Finally we're here! Two hours with that idiot! I don't think I could have taken much more," she said, stretching out her muscles.
"Oh yeah, because hanging with you is such a breeze," Alex said, rolling his eyes and getting up.
"Of course it is little brother," she replied, smiling smugly and, obviously enough, the two started fighting again.
Logan gave a loud sigh from his position next to the Professor.
"Great, now it's just double trouble," he said. "I don't think I'll like this one bit."
Xavier chuckled "Well, you needn't worry too much Wolverine, only one of them is coming to the Institute"
Wolverine perked up at this. "Wait, one? But I though both twins normally had powers. How come only one's coming with us?"
"Because these twins are an anomaly," Xavier said. "The first pair of twins in existence who weren't born with powers that either complimented each other or were complete opposites."
"So one's a mutant and the other's just a human?" Wolverine asked.
"Exactly! Quite a rare happening indeed," Xavier said.
"Sorry about those two," Sam apologised, walking up the steps.
"Don't worry. With as many students as I have, you get used to it," Professor Xavier said.
Danny shook his head. "16 years and I'm still not used to it," he said. "Alex, get over here!"
The twins looked up from their arguing, glared at each other for a minute before shrugging and walking over to them and in hand.
"Ready to behave?" Sam asked.
"Somewhat," was the reply.
Sam rolled her eyes. "Well Professor, I now present to you, Alex"
"Yo!" the girl said, saluting him with two fingers and a wink.
"And Alex."
"Sup?" the boy said, doing the same thing but with his other hand.
"Their names are exactly alike?" Logan asked. "That was a smart move."
"Actually," the girl said, "Our names are Alexis,"
"And Alexander," the boy finished.
"But we both like going by Alex," they said.
Wolverine rolled his eyes. "Splendid." And the two just grinned.
"But, which is the child that will stay with us?" Xavier asked.
"That would be me," Alexander said, stepping forward.
"A pleasure to meet you," Xavier said.
"Oh sure, because the sister's just chopped liver," Alexis muttered.
Xavier started. "I apol-"
"Save it!" she said. "I'll be taking a walk around the grounds if you need me but do me a favour, don't need me." And with that she walked off.
"Shouldn't we call her back?" Alex asked. "After all, this is a school for mutants. She could get hurt."
"Somehow, 'Alexis' and 'get hurt' just seem wrong in the same sentence to me," Sam said. "But I'll go keep an eye on her in case," and with that she walked off.
"Nice family you got there," Wolverine commented as they walked inside.
"They're weird but they're family," Danny said.
"Now, about this young lad here," Charles said. "I'm interested to know what your powers are."
"I'm a techno path," he said.
"What?" Wolverine asked.
"A techno path," he repeated. "I can control technology with my mind. I can talk to them too and they talk back to me. For example," he said. His blue eyes flashed slightly. "There's a girl coming around that corner. Her name is Rogue and she's receiving a text message from one of her friends, Kitty, who's asking her who she'll be taking to the Sadie Hawkins dance."
And at that moment, the slightly moody Rogue came around the corner texting on her cell phone. Alex's jaw almost dropped when he saw Rogue. In his eyes she was stunning.
"Amazing," Charles said quietly.
"Wow she's pretty," Alex said dreamily as she walked on. Danny clapped him hard on his shoulder.
"You can ask her who she's texting," he said. "Bet you I'm right."
Charles rose and eyebrow before calling her over.
"Yes Professor?" Alex noted her southern accent with a smile.
"Would please answer a question I have," he said.
"Fine, what is it?" she asked.
"You wouldn't happen to be texting Kitty by any chance," he asked.
"Actually, yeah I am," Rogue said, looking surprised. "She's been bugging me about who I'm gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins dance."
Needless to say the professor and Wolverine were stunned.
"I-incredible," Charles said. "Thank you, Rogue."
"You also have a call coming through from some dude named Scott," Alex said, his eyes flashing again and as if on cue, her phone started ringing.
"Wow, impressive," she said. Alex grinned and winked at her, now turning on full flirt mode. "You must be the new student," she said. "M'name's Rogue."
Alex grinned. "Shouldn't you be answering your phone?" he asked slyly.
"I'll call him back later," she said, smiling back slightly. "Professor, mind if I join the tour?"
"Not at all," he replied. "Why don't you take Alex here for a tour of the Institute while I talk with Mr. Fenton."
"So, what are your powers?" Alex asked as they separated.
Rogue hesitated for a second.
"Come on, you can tell me," he said. "I promise I won't freak."
"I-I can absorb people's life forces and take their powers and memories," she said. "And if they're not mutant, I take any physical abilities they have as well."
"Woah! That's wicked," Ales exclaimed.
"Yeah, I guess," she said. "What about yours?"
"I'm a techno path," he said. "I can communicate with technology and get them to do whatever I want… normally."
"Normally?" Rogue asked.
"Yeah, sometimes if I'm not focusing properly I can sorta… kinda… maybe… make things explode," he muttered hurriedly.
Rogue began laughing at his sheepish expression.
"Hey don't laugh! It's not funny!" he said. "Do you know how many cell phones I've killed just because I couldn't control my powers?" at this Rogue began laughing even more.
Alex pouted. "Jeez, can't a guy get any sympathy around here?" he muttered.
Rogue wiped a tear away from her eye as her laughter died off. "I'm sorry, but the look on your face was just too funny," she said.
Alex remained pouting for a moment before smiling back at her.
"So, what do you guys do for fun around here?" he asked.
Rogue giggled slightly. "Come on, I'll show you where the rec room is," and she took his hand in one of her gloved ones.
"You know you're totally making my day right?" he said as they walked off.
Rogue raised an eyebrow. "Well, I have a pretty girl giving me a private tour of a really big house and right now she's holding my hand," he explained. Rogue blushed and instantly dropped his hand. "Now that just sucks," he said, pouting again.
Rogue rolled her eyes before walking ahead.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Alex was so busy trying to catch up to her that he never noticed the small smile that made its way to her face… or the ever so small blush that stained her face as he started walking beside her again.
And this is chapter one. I totally love Rogue, her character is awesmoe and i totally hated seeing her going after Scott for two whole seasons so when Risty a.k.a Mystique said that she deserved better i decided to make one who was better for her...
Well, hoped you enjoyed it and thanks to WisdomWriter25 for adding me to her alert's list.
