Chapter 2 Finding James.
Locating James through his teammates was proved to be easy. Michael writes down the institute's address and makes their way there in a taxi. The taxi drive, was around forty minutes and the three couldn't help but fear that James wasn't their brother or worse he was and he died! The three brothers arrive at the institute, the three enter the grounds easily and make their way to the front door where they knock and wait patiently for the door to be answered by Jean Grey.
"Hello," Jean says in a polite manner.
"We're looking for a James Madrox," Edward replied.
"May I ask why," Jean said.
"It's complicated but can we come in and explain inside," Nick asks Jean hoping for a yes.
"Let me just ask the professor," Jean replies before closes the front door Jean walks over to the study, where the professor is sat in his wheelchair reading a book at his desk.
"Ah, good morning Jean," Charles spoke looking up from his book.
"There are three young men at the front door they want to see James," Jean tells Charles.
"Interesting bring them to me, I'll talk to them to see what their intentions are," Charles instructed Jean and Jean follows Charles instruction and brings the Willson brothers to Charles into the study.
The Willson brothers sit down opposite the professor at the professor's desk. Charles offered the three brothers coffee but they kindly refused his offer. The three brothers share a telepathic conversation on who should explain why they're here to the professor and what they want to form him. Edward is chosen to tell the professor their situation.
"Charles, we're here because thirteen - years - ago our little brother Kenzo Willson was kidnapped from our home and we haven't been able to find him since our parents died recently not knowing never seeing our baby brother since he was one," Edward told Charles the three boys holding back the tears at the terrible memory of their brother's kidnapping.
"I can sense that what you're telling me, young man, is true, but tell me more about yourselves," Charles says.
"I'm, Nick and these are my older brothers Michael and Eddie," Nick said.
"We came here because we think they might be a chance that James is our brother," Michael told Charles.
"When James was first enrolled here I personally checked his papers and found them in order and showed no sign of forgery," Charles said.
"One of the reasons for us believing they might be a chance that James is our brother is that the power to create duplicates of oneself is an incredibly rare power and very few mutants possed that power," Michael tells Charles.
"So what are you suggesting you want a DNA test to learn whether James is or isn't your brother," Charles asked already knowing the answer without even needing to look into the boys' minds.
"Yes, James doesn't even have to know about this all we want is to find our brother" Edward spoke.
"Very well I'll direct you to the medic wing were James is under Hank's care he can do the DNA test for you" Charles replies as he writes a quick note for Hank, Charles hands the note over to Nick and then gives the boys directions to the medic wing.
The three found the medic wing easy with Charles instructions. The Willson brothers hand their note meant for Hank. After Hank reads the note he finds himself telling the three young men about James current condition. The Willson brothers are shocked at just how badly injured James is and is even more shocked that the professor would even allow a child to go out and confront criminals!
"Why would any adult mutant or non-mutant allow a child to go up against criminals he fourteen for god sake" Michael snaps.
"James and the other students here are trained to handle those situations," Hank says understanding the anger from Michael.
"Trained to handle those situations train them to control their powers, yes, but to send them head fast into dangerous situations when they're just kids that's ridiculous," Edward shouted causing James to wake up.
"Wh-Who shouting," James asked just after waking up.
"Nicely done bro, now you've just woken up an injured kid," Nick said annoyed at how easily his older brothers can shout when the tiniest things upset them.
"I'm not a kid," James says irritated that most people still see him as a kid.
"James these three young men are here hoping to run a DNA test on the four of you," Hank explained.
"Why me,"? James questioned.
"It's complicated, but I can explain it to you better if you let me into your head," Michael spoke softly approaching James slowly trying not to frighten James or make the child feel uncomfortable.
"Like what professor and Jean can do,"? James asks.
"Yes and I promise it won't hurt and you'll be able to understand why were hear," Michael says.
"Okay you can go into my head," James tells Michael. Michael pleased with James allowing him to enter his mind Michael places one of his hands at the left side of James' face and then like a wave hitting the shore Michael sends his memories of the night his baby brother Kenzo was kidnapped and how they've been looking for Kenzo since. A few seconds later after seeing those memories, Michael ends his telepathic link with James.
"I'm sorry about your brother but I can ensure you I'm not Kenzo," James said.
"I know this is a lot to ask but if you let us do the DNA test even if it comes back negative it will make us one step closer in finding him," Edward says hoping that maybe a tad ounce of emotional blackmail will convince James to take part in the DNA test.
"I'll do the test," James mumbled god he hated emotional blackmail when he on the receiving end of it.
"Great," The Willson brothers say in unison by mistake.
