N/A:More of a bridging chapter to get the story going. Hope it isn't too boring.
Chapter 2"Excuse me, sir." Scott's eye fluttered open beneath his crimson tinted glasses at the sound of the stewardist's voice. He slowly sat up in his seat and nodded to her.
"Thank you, miss. Are we there yet?"
"Yes, sir." She replied with a smile before walking away, leaving the mutant teen to awaken his girlfriend.
"Jean, wake up. We're here..." The eldest Summers boy whispered softly to his girlfriend as he nudged her awake. Jean slowly woke up, her long red bangs falling over her face as she nodded and sat up. The two slowly stood up, yawn and stretched; it had been a long flight with not much movement involved. They made their way to the boarding plank and head for the terminal. Once there, they were quickly called out by the Masters' before anyother normal humans could recognise the tired couple.
"Scottie, Jean!" Mrs. Masters gave a quick half hug to each teen before her husband shook their hands and the older couple issued them away to the waiting car. Scott politely opened the car door first for Mrs. Masters then for his lovely girlfriend before getting in himself. Mr. Masters started up the car and headed for their home.
"Alright, Scott, son. I know you're eager and worried about Alex, as are we, but we insist that you and your girlfriend spend the night at our home first and start tomorrow." Mr. Masters calmly told the brother of his adopted son as they drove through the murky night, making Scott sigh as Mrs. Masters gently held the sleepy Jean in the back seat.
"I know, sir. It just doesn't feel right leaving him out there all alone..." Scott scowled slightly and looked out the window, Mrs. Masters reaching forward a hand to place it on his arm.
"Scott, sweetie, calm down. We're all upset, but you two must rest if you are to be at your best tomorrow." Jean yawned and looked up sleepily at it.
"Have you tried contacting the coast guard?" This time it was Mr. Masters' turn to sigh.
"Sadly no, my dear. You see, everyone found out about Alex being a mutant and now many people are very cold towards him and we're afraid they might do something to him that could harm him if his powers are accidently activated..." Scott clentched his fists and growl slightly at this."It's not fair, they shouldn't treat him like that... He's done nothing wrong..."

Alex's stomach grumbled as he sat crosslegged on the cool sand, watching silently while Leilani gently placed clay bowls in front of him. The food itself was rather odd looking but he really didn't care at this point; he hadn't eaten in about a day.
"So, Leilani, what're we eating exactly?" The Summers boy asked as he gently poked at a greyish pudding-like substance in one of the bowls. Leilani stopped serving for a second and leaned forward, spelling out the names of each food in the sand above it. Their dinner consisted of the greyish pudding: Hawaiian Poi, a greenish soup-like substance: Squid Luau, delishious looking slices of Mahi Mahi grilled on a stone slab with a light coconut drink to quench their thirst.
"Wow, Lei, you did an awesome job. Were you cooking this whole thing while I was asleep?" Alex asked as he took a scoop of the poi with a seaschell that Leilani had provided for him. The tanned girl nodded and smiled slightly as she clean a smear of poi dripping down the side of mouth. The male mutant chuckled nerviously and blushed slightly at the act, he quickly cleared his throat and tried to change the subject.
"So, Lei, is there anyway you can tell me where this is?" The girl hummed softly in response as she placed her bowl of luau on the sand and got up to grab one of the large green leaves nearby and a stick. While she was doing this, Alex found himself just staring at her lovely form; choking on the luau since he wasn't paying attention. His sudden caughing startling his host, who quickly turned around with leaf anf twig in hand, rushed over to see if he was alright. Leilani, not sure of what to do, pawwed gently at his shoulder as if to ask if he was alright.
"Hehe, I'm fine, Lei. What's up with the leaf?" The girl smiled at him and placed the leaf on a rock then brought the pointed tip of the stick to it. Alex watched ass she started to draw what looked like islands in a small group, then a bit off, she drew another island all by its lonesome. By the main group of islands she drew an arrow pointing at Alex and wrote "one hanau" then next to the lonely island drew an arrow pointing at herself and wrote "one hanau". Alex wracked his brain to remember his Hawaiian; the sicknes creeping upon him was making his brain dull.
"Homeland? Is this the Hawaiian islands?" He asked as he pointed at the large group of islands then when she nodded, he pointed to the lone island, "then what's your homeland called..?" A chill ran down his spine as Leilani wrote down the words "nui loko 'ino kauwa" meaning "outcast of great evil". Leilani started to eat her poi with a finger as Alex could only stare at what was writen on the leaf.
'She's joking right? She has to be! What on earth could "outcast of great evil" mean for an island!'

A hunched over man in tatter tribal clothing casiously inched towards a tall man in blue and red, form-fitting body armor and cape made of long flowing strips of blue matterial.
"Is he here yet, I ordered him a day ago..."
"N-no... M-master... you s-see, he was recovered by Kauwa before we could get to him but we n-now we can't f-find her.." The tall man spun around and glared down at the hunched man, needle-like teeth bared behind blue-black lips.
"What? You fools were outsmarted by a sixteen-year-old wretch and then lost her and the boy?" He yelled as he smashed the back of his hand again the hunched man's face, "I need that child! He is the key to bringing the other to me, bring him to me! NOW!"
"y-yes, m-master...! R-right away...!" The hunched man quickly recovered and scurried way as the tall man walked over and sat upon a throne made of icy stone and metal.
"I have let the kauwa live for far too long, I must end her interference. Now more than ever as she is a threat to all that I have worked towards..." ~~~~~~A/N: Hello, everyone. Hope you're enjoying so far. Just a few things to know Leilani is an actual Hawaiian name meaning Heavenly Flower and Kauwa means outcast. Reviews make me feel loved and actually want to continue a story, so please, if it's not too much of a bother. Drop me a line. ^^
