A/N: Okay, this is going to be fast. I just want to warn you that I'm not the best author and I promis I am doing my best, but to put Nathan in all the X-Men quest is hard and I am trying to get in another Marvel character that will have a past with Nathan. So I might be to rush or boring, but I don't like to writte then it's not fun and that means I won't write every detail or events (I will make peopel say it has happend or flash backs).
So I hope I can get the other Marvel Character in, with a lot other perhaps, and not boring you to death. Don't forget to Review or PM me if you want someone speciel for Nathan (It will happen in the futer, right now I stick with my thoughts).
That was it, so here comes Chapter 3...
"So, why us?" Jean ask while she, Nathan and Professor X was in the Blackbird, or X-Jet.
"Well, it seemed as your friend Kitty Pryde is a mutant." Professor X said getting Nathan's attention. He hadn't spoken with her in a week.
"Okay, I understand why Nathan are going, but why am I?"
"I didn't bring Nathan to talk to her. That's what you will do. Nathan is only with because I'm unsure about the other kid, Lance."
"So I will be like Jean's bodyguard so she can get to Kitty without Lance interfering?"
"Yes. I'm sorry Nathan, but Kitty is unsure right now and bringing you to meet her can make her feel like you were all nice because of a play." Professor X explain.
"And Kurt or Scott, or Ororo couldn't go?"
"Ororo had other things to do and Scott still trying to help Kurt in school. Jean being great in School and you not doing other than training in the Danger Room, were free."
"Right." Nathan said and look out though the window.
"How do you feel?" Jean asked as they walked over to Kitty's house.
"Good." Nathan responded simply.
"Don't lie, I felt you had a nightmare." Jean said. "They are getting worse. More intensive."
"Seem like I can't fool you." he said, not looking at her.
"You never can." Jean said and stood beside him as Professor X knock on the door.
The door opened and two adults Nathan guess was Kitty's parents stood there. They seem a bit tens, Nathan noticed, he had learned to read people. There was something of with them, like they were scared. If they were scared, Kitty must be terrified.
"Miss. and Mr. Pryde, I'm Professor Charles Xavier. This is Jean Gray and Nathan Braylord, two of my students. We are looking for your daughter, Kitty Pryde." Professor X said.
"How do you know about Kitty?" Mr. Pryde ask, simple making it clear to Nathan he didn't trust them. He didn't jug the man; he wouldn't trust himself either.
"Listen, if we just would be able to come in for a while and talk," Jean said, "We will answer all you question."
"No, excuse me, Miss. Gray. But you can talk to us out here." Mr. Pryde said and took a step to stand in front of his wife. Nathan didn't like the man's self-assurance. He had no idea that he or Jean was cable of, and the Professor for that matter.
"But-" Jean started to try calm the man.
"Jean it's okay." Professor X cut her off. He then turned to Mr. Pryde "I'm sure you must have notice your daughter is a very special young girl and going through a lot of changes." He said as calm as always. "I would like to help her. Why don't you tell me about last night?" Mr. and Miss. Pryde look at each other.
"Last night if none of your business, Professor." Mr. Pryde said, leading his wife inside. "Just please leave us alone." he said and close the door.
"We could as well have called and get a reaction on the phone." Jean said. Nathan shook his head.
"We might need to reach to Kitty directly." he said. "Her parents are scared; I can see it. Think how terrified Kitty is if her parents are like this." he said turn to Professor X.
"You right Nathan, you to go to her school and try to talk to her. I will be in the city and do some errands."
"So, what do you plan on telling her?" Nathan asked as they had stop outside the school. Jean looked at the school.
"I don't know. Any ideas?" Nathan shooked his head.
"Just be yourself and talk from your heart. She is alone here, he need a friend and who's better then Miss. Jean Gray." Nathan tested.
"You talking like you not her friend." Jean said as a statement.
"Well, I don't think she will be my friend then she knows who I am and what I have done in my life." Jean sighted.
"Come on, I think she will like you no less, I didn't."
"But you are you."
"And that do you mean with that." Nathan didn't get to answer before the school start to shake. "Wow, no need to get angry, Nate." he looked at her.
"That wasn't me." he stated and hey move over to the sport are where Kitty just came out and was on her way over to long jump. Nathan saw the two other girls laugh as they had done something.
"Nate, calm down." Jean took his hand and first now he noticed he had taken a step forward. "I will talk to her, just don't make it worse."
Nathan saw Jean walking over and Kitty falling then she was on her way to jump. One of the girls was getting ready and jumped, but the sand flew up in the air and made her fall back and be covered in it. Kitty notice and began to run away but ran into Jean first.
"Sorry." she said and ignore Jean's try to speak.
"Well, that went well." Nathan said.
"Shut up and don't do that because you angry and want to protect her or something." Jean start walk after Kitty but Nathan didn't follow instant. He noticed three boys at the school ruff. One he recognized from cerebro.
"What's you up to, Lance Alvers?" Nathan ask out loud in a whisper and then walk after Jean.
He found the two girls talking on the theater scene.
"No need for mask." Jean said. Nathan hide in the shadow so he wasn't notice. "I know that's going on."
"You don't know anything about me, neither do that guy outside."
"Who? You mean Lance? Forget about him, this is about you." Jean said taking a lean against the table. Kitty held a mask in her hand and Nathan could see she was shaking. She was indeed terrified. "You and your amazing new gift."
"It's not a gift, it's a curse." Jean smile at her.
"You sound like Nathan."
"What does Nathan has to do with this?" Kitty ask. "I haven't spoken with him on a week so why do you bring up him and how do you know him?" Nathan wonder the same thing. Why did Jean bring him up?
"Because Nathan is like you. He has an amazing gift, but he doesn't understand it." Nathan start to wonder if she knew he heard her. "He has had a rough past and if it wasn't for his gift he wouldn't be alive today. Even if he doesn't tell me, I know he is terrified to lose control."
"Can you stop talk about him." Kitty ask. "I don't want to hear it."
"Kitty, what I was going to was what he gets help, and so do I. Professor Charles Xavier has taking us both in and I have seen him change to what he is today. Your gift will be a curse if you let it to be." Jean saw so calm out, and Nathan could almost feel like it was him she talk to.
"I just want it to go away!" Jean stood up.
"Can I show you something, please." Kitty didn't respond and Jean must have taken it as a yes because in the next second the mask Kitty held flew out of her hands and back to it's place on the wall.
"How? How did you do that?"
"The same way you can walk through walls. Why don't you let me help you. To let Professor and Nathan help you. I know it's hard because I have been through all this as well. I just woke up one day and all this happened. The same thing with Nathan, the difference was that I had Professor Xavier, Nathan had it a bit rougher and I know he won't want you to go through all this alone."
"I-," Nathan thought Kitty was going to start and cry or give in for that Jean said, but she didn't and push the hand Jean had laid on her shoulder away. "I don't believe you. This is a trick!"
"No! No, you do believe me and I know you do." Jean said. "Because that's my other ability, I can read your thoughts."
"Just stay away from me, from my mind and tell your boyfriend to leave me alone as well." Kitty rush out from the room and Jean was on her way to follow. Boyfriend, Nathan thought, why did everyone think that?
"Kitty!"
"Piece of advice Red, leave her alone." Lance had come out from a hidden spot and taken a grip on Jean arm, hard. "I'm the only friend she will need."
"Lance, let go." Nathan stepped out to the aisle and look up to meet Lance eyes, his hand in his pockets. Lance let go of Jean who backed from the two guys.
"You must be Nathan." Lance said. "Come to protect your week girlfriend."
"She isn't my girlfriend and don't need protection, but you need to know your place."
"Oh, so scared." Lance said. "What can you do, Cool boy." Nathan concentrate and fire start to burn at the center aisle to the stage, making a small patch with fire on each side. He wanted to kill the guy so much but remember himself that Jean saw him and held back. "You not going to hurt me, pretty boy." Lance turn to Jean. "I will be the one teaching her what's what and you two better to stay away." with that Lance walk away and follow Kitty. Nathan let the fire go away and it hadn't left a mark.
"Come on, we should call the Professor." Nathan said and turn around to leave.
"Lance will be a big problem, if he bonds with her we might not be able to reach her."
"We understand professor." Jean said. "And that's the problem for he is reaching her."
"Just stay put and have an eye on them." Professor X said and hung up. Nathan took the phone and put it in his pocket. He and Jean was sitting on a bench outside the school.
"I'm sorry." Jean whisper.
"For that?" Nathan ask. "You didn't do anything wrong."
"So you not angry that I talk about you?"
"Well, shock but no." Nathan meet her eyes and smile. "I told you to talk from your heart and you did."
"We are in a hole, aren't we?" she asked, laying her head against his shoulder.
"Maybe, but we always figure out who to come up, don't we?" Nathan said. "Remember the time I and Scott fought and you become so angry that you almost took down the whole school."
"Don't remind me." Jean said but laugh. "I made Scott unable to walk a whole month and I almost killed you."
"Well, in the end you trusted me to help you and we saved Scott from certain death and you from getting in jail." Nathan laugh.
"You enjoying this don't you."
"How we two always dig each other down into a hole and somehow manage to get out but ending up blowing or destroying something, yes I do." Jean laugh.
The evening came Jean had spotted Lance and Kitty walking through a wall to the office. Nathan couldn't believe it.
"Nathan, Lance must have tricked her." Jean said.
"Yeah you right. We need to get the Professor."
"I will get him and you get Kitty's parents." Nathan nodded and start to run.
The door opens and then Mr. Pryde saw Nathan he almost hit the door at him. But Nathan took the door and hold it opened to she Kitty's mother walking into the hallway.
"What are you doing here? We told you to stay away."
"Please, Mr. and Mrs. Pryde. Your daughter is in danger and you need to come with me." Nathan hadn't expected them to opens the door and scream to for him to show the way, he had thought they would call him a liar, but they didn't and run after him to the school there Jean was in her X-Men costume and the Professor in his wheelchair.
"What happened?" Mr. Pryde ask.
"Your daughter has broken into the school office." Jean answer.
"What? She would never-" Mrs. Pryde started but Nathan cut her off.
"There isn't time for this!"
"What do you care if our-" Mr. Pryde started but Nathan cut him off too.
"I do care!" he screamed. "Now can you please stop trying to judge if I lying or not. If you really love your daughter, it wouldn't matter if she is a mutant. You would love her if she was born a boy, or with a sickness, so dam that you should love her for who she is and not for what she is."
"Nathan, calm down. Jean go inside with them." Jean nodded and run in with Mr. and Mrs. Pryde, who both seem catch up in what he had said.
"Professor…"
"Nathaniel! Calm down." Professor X said. "I know you care for her but if you let your emotion take too much power over you, you know that will happen." Nathan look at the old man. "You won't be to any help if you can't control yourself. Your mind need to be clean if you want to control your power."
"I understand, Professor." Nathan said, calmer, and look at the school. 'Emotions are a weakness and a curse.' he remembered the worlds she had told him.
The ground start to shake and Nathan and Professor X notice the school start to crack.
"Nathan!"
"On it!" Nathan said and held his hands to the school and concentrate on every single wall on the school of made or contain of earth, which to his luck are much. Stone house was much better than tree house.
"You can hold it; Jean is keeping the others safe." Nathan hear Professor X say.
"When tell her to get out!"
"They can't!"
"Dammit!" Nathan scream.
"Nathan, Lance!" Nathan look around to see Lance running away. "Run, Jean has everything under control." Professor X said.
"I hope." Nathan said and let go of the building and start running after Lance. He saw the building fall but didn't stop until he tackled Lance on the hill. He put him down.
"What are you doing?" Lance ask.
"Keeping you from running!" Nathan said.
"And let go of the school building, they are probably dead-" Lance was cut off by Nathan hitting him. He hit him over and over again, wanting to kill him, to feel blood on his hands.
'Nate!' he stopped, hearing Professor X in his head. He was taken but shock and Lance took advantages and hit him so he landed beneath him. He gave Nathan some hits before standing up. Nathan roll over to and stood on all four then Lance kick him in the stomach so he cracked up blood and landed on the back again a bit away.
"Don't follow me if you are smart enough." Lance said and run away. Nathan came to his feet and walk back to the school that was in ruins.
"Nathan, are you-"
"I'm fine, Professor." Nathan cut off and spat blood from his mouth. "Where is Jean and the Prydes?"
"They haven't come out jet."
"Well, best for Jean to be alright or she will get a hell." Nathan said, turning to the school and start lifting blocks of the school, one by one.
"What's enough, Nathan." Professor X said and in the next second Kitty in the lead came out with Jean and her parents. Nathan smile and run over to Jean and hug her.
"What in hell happened to you?" she asked and pulled back.
"Long story short, Lance." Nathan answer. "He got away." Nathan gave her a warm smile before turning to Kitty.
"So you are a mutant?" he nodded.
"Sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't know you were one." Nathan said. "If I had, I should have help you."
"I know." she answered and turn to Professor X.
"You really are gifted." he said.
"Mum, dad. I truth them and I would like to learn to control this."
"We trust them as well, and you," Mr. Pryde turn to Nathan who stood beside Jean and held himself up with an arm around her. "Don't let our daughter get in trouble will you." Nathan smile and shook the man's hand.
"I will do my best, but I do believe Jean are a bit better than me on that bit." Nathan joked.
"He is just not liking to get the spotlight." Jean said.
"Oh, Miss. Perfect-"
"Give it up you two." Professor X said. "I think it's time to go home, Kitty, if you want to you can come with us now, or come then you are ready." Kitty look at her parents and then on Professor X.
"If it's not too much trouble, Professor. I would like to get ready first so is it alright if I wait a day or two. I want more time with my parents."
"Of course, Kitty." Professor X said and start drive.
"You know Kitty," Nathan said. "I'm still here whenever you need to talk and your parents loves you. You have a lucky life."
"I guess I have." Kitty said and look at her parents once again, then on Jean. "I owe you an apology. You didn't lie and I was wrong."
"Everyone makes mistake at least once in a time." Jean said. "And Nate is right. Then you come to the institute we will present you for your new family."
