Chapter 4: Cerebro's Alert

Kitty's (aka Shadowcat) POV

August 10th, 2:28 PM, Xavier Institute, BayvilleNY.

"KUURRT!" I shouted as Storm, Jean, Scott, and I walked out of the black bird and towards the institute. Kurt (Nightcrawler), like teleported inside, along with Bobby (A new recruit, Iceman as he insists on being called). We had just gotten back from summer vacation. Jean had gone to her parent's house; Scott and Kurt went to visit Alex in Hawaii. My family and I went on vacation all summer visiting my relatives. And Bobby was the latest mutant that had joined the institute. (he joined the first week of May I think.) It was nice to be back at the institute, even thought it means school. BORING! Anyway, I'm mad at the boys cause like Kurt and Bobby decided to play a joke on me by teleporting me on to a huge ice slide that, if I hadn't phased through it, I would have like, smashed into a wall of ice. Anyway, I phased though and got my jeans all muddy. We started to enter the institute, I phased through, leaving Scott and Jean to open the doors for them selves. "Bobby! Kurt! Why would you like do that?"

"Vhat? It vas a velcome back givt! And jast plain velcome to Bobby!"

"Oh man, you should have seen the look on your face!" Bobby laughed. Kurt and Bobby both started to laugh uncontrollably.

"Well, it was like, NOT FUNNY!"

"Well," Interrupted Scott as he and Jean walked in. "You did walk right into it."

"SO? That doesn't make it right ya' know?"

"Of course not Kitty…" Jean said in her motherly like tone. "But it was pretty funny."

Everyone started to laugh.

"Like, I live with a bunch of idiots!" I paused, then I started laughing too. After a couple of minutes, the laughter died down and the Professor rolled in.

"Well, it's nice to see you all are glad to be back. Bobby Drake, welcome to the Institute. I'm sure you won't be new for long" He said, rolling closer. "Some of the other students have already arrived."

"Like who Professor?" Scott asked.

"My nephew is here." Storm answered.

"Avesome!" He shouted turning to Bobby. "Letz go Bobby! You muzt meet Evan!"

"Right behind you!"

They ran off, then Kurt popped up a second later.

"Ahh, vhere iz he?" he asked sheepishly

"Even is in the kitchen." Professor X answered.

"See ja!" He poof out of view.

We all went to are rooms, as I entered mine I saw 2 things. 1 was that Rouge was on her bed reading a book, and the 2nd was that our room, as large as it was now larger and had 4 beds.

"Rouge! Like, what happened?"

"Oh, Billy just discovered he was of dragon blood, along with Bonnie.*"

"Not your book! Like, the room!"

"Oh, we're expecting more girls and the Professor expanded our room."

"Okay, so do you know who is staying with us?" I asked hopefully.

"No." She replied grimly.

"Then who?"

Knock! Knock!

"Hey, can I come in?" Jean walked in.

"I thought you asked if yah could come in?" Rouge asked rudely.

"Oh, sorry."

"What's with the box?" I questioned.

Slowly, floating in came several more boxes.

"I like, mean boxes." I exclaimed

"It seems I'm your new roommate." Jean walked over to the 3rd bed and levitated the boxes down. "So who's in the 4th bed?"

"No clue." Rouge looked up and went back to her book.

"I wonder who it is." I tried to think of who would be sharing with us. Then suddenly,

"~Jean, Kitty, Rouge, Scott, Kurt, Evan. Meet in Cerebro's room.~"

"~Why Prof?~" I could hear Evan mentally asks. All us girls walked over, opened the door and raced down the hall.

"~Because Evan. The updates are complete. They were completed yesterday. And you all might want to see this~"

We all understood that, Cerebro had been shut down May 10th, 1) Because wanted to do some much needed updates and 2) Because the school season was almost over and there wasn't much need to recruit during summer vacation. Though, Professor Xavier was reluctant to have Cerebro shut down, he agreed.


Now all of us were standing in the room."Whoa, Professor. I can see some obvious changes." Announced Scott. There were some big changes, literally. The room was MUCH bigger than before. I couldn't tell you much about the technical stuff, but it was way more teched out.

"I think this is really awesome and stuff Professor, but like, what is so important for us to see?"

Kurt, Evan and the others nodded their head and mumbled out agreements.

"Because Kitty, of this."

Cerebro's screen light up, it was a hologram!

"Kewl!" Kurt exclaimed

"Yes indeed. It is quite an amazing machine." A voice behind us softly spoke. We spun around.

"Hello Storm !" We all chanted except for Evan who said,

"Yo Autie O!"

"Hello everyone. Good to see you all back."

"Storm, glad you can join us. But we must get on to the matters at hand."

"Which would be what Professor?" Jean asked.

Professor X took the helmet and brought up a city south of us. The screen started to go NUTS! "This." He said grimly.

"Are all those dots mutants?" asked Rouge. We were all shocked; we knew that dots were mutants. But we never saw this many in one area.

"Yes Rouge, indeed they are. The green dots are level 1 and 2 mutants, the yellow is 3, and the red is 4. And one thing you may want to see."

The hologram zoomed in to an area outside of town. One blue dot was visible.

"Vhut wouldz da blue be?" Kurt asked nervously.

"It's a level 5." Scott said astonished.

"Yes, it is." Answered the professor.

"But like, aren't the only level 5 mutants You, Jean and, I guess, Juggernaut?"*** I said.

"Yes we are, or were. Now this extremely rare situation has come up. We have a level 5 mutant along with 34 other level mutants… in one town."

"34!"We all exclaimed.

"Yes, 34." He confirmed.

"Professor Xavier, how is this even in them realm of possibility?" Beast questioned.

"I'm not sure, all I can pick up from local news and local minds are, "The Big-Bang" and "Bang-Babys" I have no knowledge what that means, but you should see this also.

On the screen at least 30 jail files came up.

"They're being put in JAIL?" Rouge outraged.

"No, not all of them, only the ones that commit crimes." Professor X answered.

"They've been using their powers to commit crimes!" Jean said gasping.

"So how many of them are, you know, like, not in jail?" I asked. This was a huge deal, we had so many mutants in jail, along with a level 5! I hope they aren't in jail.

"4" the Professor said, still grim.

"And the level 5?" Scott continued.

"Has not committed crimes and is not in jail. Not yet anyway."

"Vhat do you mean profezzor?" Kurt asked cluelessly.

"I mean we need to go to Dakota City and recruit these 4 mutants, especially level 5."

"Who is level 5 anyway Prof?" Evan asked what everyone was thinking.

"That's the thing. Until these last 4 use their powers, Cerebro can't pick up any more information than, they are mutants."


August 10th, 2:40 PM, Dakota City.

General POV

"Yo Virgil!" Richie shouted through his shock-box. "You have to come over the HQ and see what I just invented!"

"Sure Riche, I'm suiting up anyway. You want to patrol afterwards?"

"Sure V-man. See yah!"

Virgil made sure his sister was no where in sight and ran down the stairs and dashed out the door. Unknowing to him, his dad watched as his son shocked open his disk and flew off. "Oh boy, there he goes." He chuckled to himself. "It's a wonder no one except me knows their secret."


Meanwhile at the Garzairiz home.

"Oh man!" Cried Gracie, Destiny's younger sister. She had just spilled some chocolate milk on the families new light carmel-colored couch. "Destiny! Can you come here a sec!" She shouted.

"Yes?" Destiny replied as she walked. She looked over at the couch and saw the big brown splotch in the middle. "What happened to the couch?!" She asked.

"I kinda spilled my milk on it." Gracie confessed. "I thought you could, you know, go bang-baby on it?"

"Fine, but you WILL tell mom what you did." Destiny replied.

"Okay, just clean it up. And do you mind drying my hair too?"

"Oh please." Destiny said dryly. She lifted one hand, her fingertips glowing blue, and quickly raised the milk out from the couch. Then she lifted the other hand and, with the tips glowing a bright red, slowly folded her hand into a fist. The milk evaporated and she put her hands down, with the glowing slowly fading.

"HEY!" Gracie snapped, "I was going to drink that!"

"Ew!"

"Humph!" She turned her back and paused. "But really," She said turning around, "Will you dry my hair?"

Destiny raised both of her hand up above her head, they were glowing light purple now.

"No Destiny! I meant-" Destiny's hands came down along with a HUGE gust of wind, drying Gracie's hair completely.

"I meant you hydro-kinesis! Not your aero-kinesis!"

"Oh well!" Destiny sang as she walked away.

"It's a wonder how she keeps those powers a secret." Questioned Gracie, as she left for the kitchen to get some more milk.


Meanwhile at the Gradly home.

"Andrew!" Cried Andrew's older brother Josh. He entered Andrew room, where he was static-izing (as his family called it) his bed spread to the bed to create a perfect bed. "Could you juice my Wayne-pod**?

"Sure!" He said, plopping down on his bed. "It's going to cost you 3 cupcakes though." He added coyly

"1!" Josh answered.

"2!"

"1 or nothing and I'll tell mom you shocked Sam for hiding your W-pad."

"Okay! 1 it is!" Andrew jumped up and snatched the W-pod from Josh's hands. He lifted his finger, dancing with electricity, and directed a stream into the W-pod. It was charged fully in seconds. Andrew tossed it back to Josh. "Okay there. Where's my cupcake?"

Josh turned and called back. "In my stomach! Seez yah laterz!" He ran out, Andrew right behind. Before Josh could say 'shocking' he was picked up by Andrew's electric powers and thrown on the wall. Josh tried to get down but Andrew's static cling was strong.

"Have fun Josh! It wears off in about 2 hours!" He raced down the stairs.

"How does he keep his 'static cling' a secret? It's a wonder no one has found out!"


August 10th, 2:41 PM, Xavier Institute, Bayville NY.

Professor X's POV

The screen was buzzing, it had just picked up 4 mutants using their powers. The very four that they were hoping to recruit.

"Professor! Quick!" Jean yelled over the beeping. "Track their identities!"

I quickly concentrated and managed to get their information.

"I've got it Jean. All 4 of them."

"Fascinating!" Exclaimed Hank. "All four of them used their powers at the same time!"

"Lets see their info Professor." Scott said.

"Very well." I replied . I pulled up the first. "Virgil Hawkins." I read aloud. "He is 15, and apparently has powers over electricity, including electro-magnetism as well. And he is a level 4 mutant." I paused as the computer brought up something else. "Ohh! Apparently Virgil has the same qualities and abilities of a local hero called 'Static'."

"Do you like, think its him?" Kitty asked.

"With out a doubt Kitty. Not only do they have the same powers, but they also have the same characteristics."

"Cool! A super-hero!" Exclaimed Evan.

"Yes…indeed. Now lets continue on." I said. "Richie Foley, age 15, his abilities are: Hyper-intelligence, technopathy and a hidden power that has not yet been unleashed. Interesting."

"Vhatz the hidden power? Kurt asked.

"It's hidden, doofus! We don't know!" Rouge implied harshly.

"Anyway," I continued, "He has they same characteristics and powers that of Static's partner Gear. They also are best friends."

"That proves things." Scott said.

"Yes I believe so. And now to the 3rd, Andrew Gradly, age 14, and it seems he has the exact same powers as Virgil."

"That's like, really odd! " said Kitty.

"Yes, it is. But he is most certainly not Static. He is homeschooled, a Christian and hangs around and old barn- GASP! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"

"Professor," spoke Jean, "Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine. And look," Everyone looked at the screen once more. "The level 5 mutant, is Destiny Garzairiz. But Cerebro can't pick up any thing else!"

To be continued…
