A/N: What now?
Chapter II
A month has passed, Scott has grown to respect John, though he doesn't approve of his friendship with the Brotherhood. Through them he has grown close to Kitty and Wanda. He has also grown very close to Amara, though they haven't struck up a relationship yet. Despite obvious progress, his temper, while predictable, is not controlled.
"I thought I told you," John growled, "To leave my friends ALONE!"
Duncan had been picking on Jamie.
"Think your better than me?" Duncan asked John.
"Oh, were asking each other riddles now? Okay dipshit, I got one for you. You ever mess with anyone your own size or just twelve year olds?"
"I'll mess with whoever I want to!" Duncan said, before hitting the lockers face first.
"You mess with any of my friends or housemates again, and I'll break your face. And if you even so much as bruise Jamie again, I swear you'll be in wheelchair for the rest of your pathetic life."
"You don't have the gu- AAAAAAAHHH!" he screamed as his arm made a sickening CRACK!
"John!" Jean scolded.
He ignored her and helped Jamie up. "You okay?"
"Yeah, thanks!" Jamie said, he had adopted John as something of a big brother and John had adopted Jamie as a little brother.
"Principal Kelly would like to see the two of you in his office." One of the teachers said.
Jean sighed, "Guess I better go bail John out."
"Suspension, I'm petrified." John said sarcastically in the parking lot.
"John, the Prof's not gonna be happy about this." Evan told him.
"I'm not happy about douche's messing with kids, even if he is Jean's boyfriend (What does she see in that asshole?)!"
"Hey!" Duncan shouted, stalking towards him, "You got me suspended you asshole!"
"You want me to break the other arm?"
"What? Why the Hell did you ask that?"
"No? Then get the Hell out of my face!"
Duncan gritted he teeth and stormed off.
"Hey Kit, tell Prof that I'll be late, I'm treating Jamie to McDonalds."
"'Kay." Kitty said.
"I'll go with them." Amara said.
"Keep this up and they may start thinking you like me." John joked, arm and arm with Amara trailing behind Jamie as he ate his McFlurry.
"Oh my! Wouldn't that be tragic!" she said in mock shock, and they both burst out laughing. It was starting to be a perfect day, too perfect. When they got to the institute it happened. John heard it, though they didn't, "GET DOWN!"
All three of them dropped as gunfire passed over their heads. John stood, facing 'Friends of Humanity'.
"Run!" they didn't need to be told twice, but someone grabbed Amara, putting a power dampening collar around her neck and holding her up by the neck. John knew this man all too well, his Uncle. "Put her down Cain!"
"My families' relation to these things has become something of a nuisance." Cain said.
"Release the girl Cain."
"Don't confuse this animal with your own flesh and blood. Surrender and your deaths will be quick and painless."
"It has nothing to do with her, let her go!"
"It has everything to do with her and all mutants!" Cain said raising her above his head.
"PUT HER DOWN!" John demanded spewing fire.
"As you wish." He threw her against a tree, knocking her unconscious.
John let loose a savage roar as he charged his Uncle. He heard the guns being made ready behind him. He stopped turned on his heel, and blasted the others with a wave of fire. Separating them from him and Cain. By this time the other X-Men had come outside.
"STAY BACK! This is my fight." John demanded.
Cain smirked, "Here's a taste of your own medicine." He said evilly, revealing the mini flamethrowers on his wrists before bathing John in flames.
"John, NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Amara screamed.
"ROOAAARRRR!"
That was John's roar! Amara thought. She looked at the flames that were dyeing down. She watched with joy as Cain watched with horror as a figure stood up out of the flames.
She could tell it was John, but he had changed. A thick, scale-like armor covered his body. Claws replace finger and toenails. His teeth were razor sharp and his eyes burned with fire. He back handed Cain like he was nothing, Amara was entranced, and didn't notice the man sneaking up behind her.
"Hey, let me go!" Amara shouted.
John looked her way and saw a man grabbing her as he started to pull a gun from its holster. "Get your claws of my girlfriend!" John roared as he grabbed the man and threw him at the other's, who were aiming guns at them, no time to get Amara out of the way, John shielded her as they fired.
"No, that's not possible!" one of them said as John stood, the bullets fired at him on the ground. They had bounced off his back.
"My turn." He said, spewing another wave of fire at them. This time they were smart enough to run away.
"Amara?" he asked her, ripping off the collar.
"I'm alright." She told him.
He smiled and fainted on the spot.
John blinked as his eyes adjusted to the lights above him. He tried to sit up but his head hurt too much.
"Easy there trooper." Amara said softly.
"Amara…"
She smiled then she got nervous, "John, when we were, you know…attacked. You called me…you said I was…did you mean it?" she asked.
John reached up, put his hand on the back of her head, pushed her down and leaned up, placing his lips against hers.
For a second her eyes were wide in shock then they slowly closed. Using her as support John slowly lifted himself into an upright position and wrapped his other arm around her. They broke the kiss and stared into each other's eyes. Then John fainted bringing Amara down with him. Instead of leaving Amara simply snuggled up closer to him and went to sleep.
"Alright, wake up love birds."
Amara and John freaked out when they were woken, but were relieved to see it was Rogue.
"Y'all lucky it was me. If Scott had seen ya like that—."
"You're not gonna tell him are you!?" Amara asked, worried. What worried her more was what happened next, Rogue laughed. When she finally stopped she said, "You – thought I – would tell Scott?" she said between breaths, "What?" she asked cause Amara and John where staring at her.
"Did you just laugh? You never laugh!" John said.
"Yeah…It's been awhile… Well, come on love birds! Think you can walk?" she asked John.
He replied by jumping of the bed and landing behind her, "Yeah."
"Were going on a mission, think of a code name yet?"
"Yeah, call me…Draco."
