Blastwave 4
A:N Let me make this clear. Voldemort was performing some rituals which Harry picked up during his target practise. Xavier picked up on this and entered Harry's mind. Voldemort, Harry and Xavier were now all in one confined space; yes the mind is seemingly infinite but even then it has limits. Now add to the mix Harry's larger than average magical reserves, slight emotional instability due to lack of counselling etc and the fact he has activated his full mutant powers sans restrictions or control he has gone out of control throwing curses and pulses of energy around the place.
Rogue as far as I can tell in the Evolution Series and comics absorbs peoples abilities, memories and lifeforce if not careful. She got in close and managed to help Harry regain control and was almost hit by a cruciatus curse; this one Harry noticed and hence why he was checking if she was all right. That's all there is to it. Besides Rogue will not admit that Harry freaked her out.
I hope that cleared up everything. As for the attraction thing; call it Harry's first genuine crush and curiosity on Rogue's part.
The normally bubbly manor was now as silent as the grave. Considering Harry had been in a Graveyard he knew how that felt. Harry got to his feet with assistance from Kurt and he turned to face his fellow mutants "What?"
It was Scott who answered for the group "What the hell were you doing...Someone could have gotten hurt. What you did was..." He didn't finish as Harry jabbed his wand and promptly silenced the teen "One lecture I did not need...Anything else?"
"What did you do to him? How long will it last?" Someone asked; Harry grinned "Silenced him. He can hear himself but we can't hear him as for how long...Any...where be...tween half a day or a week. Could be sooner or later depending on how I'm feeling. Oh and by the way he can hear what we are saying just so you know."
Harry turned around "I'm sorry. Shouldn't have dragged you guys into this." With that he turned around and began heading towards the house. No-One stopped him, he made it into the house to be stopped by an adult. The guy was big; jeans, shirt, leather jacket and boots and had a cigar in his mouth "Where you going bub?"
"Out...Clearly I fucked this up." The man snorted "No you didn't. In fact its more Shade's fault. You had no idea this was gonna happen; we get outbursts like this from time to time. I stabbed someone when I first arrived. We've not had anyone with your range of abilities before; the Proffessor ain't mad at ya, neither is Beast. I'm Logan people here call me Wolverine."
Harry nodded to the man; not forgetting at all that he was a relative "I just want to clear my head...I'll be okay." Wolverine nodded "Fine..." He handed Harry a phone "...This has the Manor's number on it. Call it and tell whoever's speaking where you are and I'll pick you up." Harry nodded and he left.
It was late afternoon early evening when Harry had left the Mansion. I took him fifty minutes to walk into town and he was impressed. Whereas before he had only been allowed out when it was 'suitable', he appreciated the freedom to walk into town when he wished but he didn't appreciate what happened next.
Duncan Matthews and his mates were moving out of an alleyway. They had just terrorised a Freshman from their school into giving them his money. Then they noticed Harry "Oi, You lost or something?" Harry looked up 'You know what's going to happen next...So what you going to do Harry? Let them walk over you or fight back. Don't worry I have no desire to kill anyone except maybe Riddle and Dumbledore.' His inner voice said calmly. 'Who are you?' Harry asked curiously 'I'm your subconscience...We don't exactly communicate...Call me Alex. You ready?'
Harry turned to face his soon to be peers "Yes?" Duncan sneered "Hand over your money." Harry stared at him incredulously "Is that meant to be threatening? If so it REALLY needs some work." Duncan stared at him "You're new in town...Where you from?"
Harry snorted "Is that all you've managed to grasp so far? Okay yes I'm from out of town. Not even from America. That leaves six other possibilities."
Duncan stared at him; someone who was uninformed about the greatness of the United States "Where? World Geography isn't my best class." Harry cackled mentally 'These guys are so easy' "Neither are the rest of your classes if what I've heard about you is correct."
Marcus snarled "You take that back..." Harry rolled his eyes "You going to make me? The damn's I give today have just run out." Phil looked at him "That's it I'm going to smash you up."
With that he lunged at Harry; too Harry he looked like if he was moving he slow motion. No Harry was sure he didn't have superspeed but rather this was the effect of accidental magic, his own senses and actual magic giving him a slower perception of time. Harry could tell that this would hurt if he took a full on punch so he moved to oneside.
Duncan and Marcus stared as Harry easily dodged the oncoming attack. Harry grabbed the receding magic and threw it out like a massive shove and it effortlessly chucked the three teens back "I'll say this once...Leave off or regret it." With that he turned around and left. High above him a Raven smirked.
Mystique or Raven Darkholme or even Principle Darkholme grinned. A new player was in town and he was powerful. She wasn't sure of his abilities but they appeared to be telekinetic upon appearance 'A test is in order...Avalanche and...Blob. Yes, Avalanche and Blob they'll suffice.'
Harry was utterly oblivious to the plan as he carried on walking around when his phone rang "Yes?" It was Professor X "Harry, I picked up a pulse of energy about five minutes ago from Cerebro. You aren't in the house. Are you okay?"
Harry groaned "I'm fine...Three kids tried to teach me some manners. Don't worry they're fine. Bit shaken up and possibly minor bruising. My apologies; don't worry. I'll keep a lid on it or at least try too. Any specific rules of engagement?"
Charles groaned, he had another quick to use powers user. From what he had seen in Harry's mind he totally understood. Harry was strong in both mutant and magical abilities; underneath all of his defences Harry was a very lonely boy. A powerful and lonely boy who wanted to do right by people...Almost akin to Eric Lensherr minus the monologues. "Harry, I say try not to use abilities unless needed...But if need be mini..."
"Minimise the casualties. I got you...I have to go...OI! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING MORON! Sorry Professor." Harry hung up and hurled himself to oneside as a Jeep hurtled by; skidded textbook style into the parking lot in near by and three people got out.
One was tall, thin and clad in scuffed jeans, boots and wore a shirt and bomber vest. One looked like a toad and the other was possibly the fattest bastard Harry had ever seen just short of his Cousin and Uncle.
"You must be the new guy the boss wants." Said Toad "Who are you?" Harry asked eyes flicking between the three of them already about to call for help when Toad's tongue zipped out. Harry was surprised and caught off guard so the tongue grabbed the phone "Who you tryna call?" Toad asked around the phone.
"Your...mother?" Responded Harry and that was all it took for the big one to lose control and with surprising speed was in Harry's face and hit him with his large gut. Harry flew back and impacted solidly into the side of a 4x4. The 4x4 rolled on to two wheels, fell onto four and in the process freed Harry. A woman and her two children stood in shock as they saw the boy slam into the car "Oh my gosh, stay still. I'll call an ambulance."
Harry groaned twisted his head, wiggled his fingers and his toes. Full response so nothing was broken "I'm okay...Could you call Xavier's and tell him there is a small altercation going on near...where are we?..." The woman smiled "Bayville Mall, South Entrance on 22 and 1...Who do I ask for?"
"The person by the phone. They'll know what to do. Now if you'll excuse me I have a Fatty to trim, Toad to fry and their driver." Harry got up and headed back towards them "Who are you guys?"
Toad stopped "I'm Todd Tolanksy, Big Guy is Fred Dukes and the other is Lance Alvers and We're part of the Brotherhood of Mutants." Harry nodded "Harry Potter. Now what do you guys want?" It was Fred who answered "Join us or be pounded into paste."
Harry smiled "I don't swing that way Fred. If anything I'd rather give." Fred stared at him dumbly "He thinks you're gay Fred." Fred roared but Lance rushed forwards the ground shaking as he charged forwards. Harry dived to oneside only to not be able to get to his feet as the ground started shaking. He looked over his shoulder to see the family cowering in raw terror. He forced himself to his feet only for this time for Toad to drop kick him and he stumbled backwards.
"Monsters!" Wailed the girl, her mother grabbed her hand and held her close as Harry came staggering back. "They said they'll be ten minutes tops and that was four or five minutes ago."
Harry grunted "Five more of getting my asked kicked my three morons with no restraints on their gifts." His mutterings were caught by the mother "Gifts? You mean like mutants?" Harry nodded and her eyes widened in fear "Are you one? Why aren't you using yours?" Harry nodded "I am and as for not using it...ten reasons for that. Well; One not in control of it, Two collateral damage, Three civilian casualties and Four to Ten any potential numbers of Two and Three."
"Use it. We're going to be okay." Harry nodded and got up his body sparking with energy "I'm one of the good guys...well trying to be." With that the fire in his heart at full throttle he turned around. Lance saw Harry was sparking and focused on rupturing the ground around him; Harry noticed that the ground was shaking. Harry vaguely remembered his primary school introduction into physics and different energies and what Lance was doing was creating seismic tremors or kinetic tremors through the earth.
Harry concentrated and a red aura erupted around him, and four tendrils erupted embedding themselves into the floor and the tremors stopped around him. Lance stared at him "What have you done!" Harry smirked and opened his arms wide and two orbs appeared "Giving you three a shakedown." He clapped his hands together just below his thumbs making a cupping motion, brought his hands to his chest before thrusting them outwards.
Lance and Toad effortlessly dodged the attack as did Fred "You missed! Your aiming sucks!" They chanted before suddenly the ground began to crack beneath them. Harry rushed backwards to the civilians and held his hand out to them. "My names Michelle; this is Emily and that's James." Michelle said as she took his hand.
Harry nodded "Harry. No codename yet. Anyway I apologise for the bad rescue attempt let's find you three a taxi and get you out of here." Finding a cab was easy the cab driver just nodded and the family were heading home.
Harry rushed through the streets only to find the Brotherhood had followed him "No where to run new guy." There was a 'Bamf' and Fred stumbled backwards as Kurt dropped kicked him in the face. "Need some help?" Kurt asked appearing next to Harry with another 'bamf'.
"Where's the...Never mind." Just then the rest of the X-men appeared. Scott ran over to Harry "Get out of here." He snapped but Harry snarled in back words not even forming. "Piss off Shades. You guys took your sweet fucking time to get here so I'm staying to ensure you don't get distracted on your way to another fight...I don't...think so...Toad." Harry snapped flaring his powers and absorbed the power from Toad's surprise kick. But Harry was still taken backwards.
Wolverine, Rogue and Jean Grey moved to cover Harry but Harry rushed forwards; faster than what they expected and they watched as the teen literally speared Toad into and through the tarmac. Wolverine and Scott were having trouble shifting Blob. It appeared that the large teen's frame was the centre of his abilities; everything was either absorbed in his blubber, bounced off and he appeared to have a influence over himself
"Now how are we going to knock down Blob? From what I can tell this guy ain't gonna move unless he wants to be." Stated Harry getting a look from Wolverine "How did you realise that?" Asked Jean as she failed to shift Blob with a telekinetic shove.
"Eye for the small things...Used to play a very dangerous sport where I needed to track things size of a walnut and practised with peanuts." Harry grunted. There was a grunt of pain and it appeared Lance had finally been dropped by Kurt who had teleported up above him with a trash can.
Blob was then taken down; Scott lost his temper and removed his visor. The blast rebounded and slammed into Harry who absorbed it and then Rogue grabbed Harry's hand and released the power which coupled with some of Harry's overpowered banishing charms hit Blob with the force of a freight train as the rest of the X-men hit Blob as one.
Bob groaned and moved back on step and then another and soon enough Blob had grabbed his colleagues and vanished into the evening. Harry caught Rogue as she was overcome slightly from his memories "Ya have some crap memories ya know tha'?" Harry nodded "Yup...You okay?"
Rogue gave him a look and the two snorted "Ah/I will beh/be." They said as one. However Scott placed his hand on Harry's back "We need to discuss your behaviour back at the manor."
Harry turned around and as Wolverine and the rest observed the adamantine mutant smirked a wolfish smile "This is gonna be good. Shades and the New kid going at each other in the Danger Room."
