Chapter-4
X-Mansion
Kurt was walking past the students in corridor which was crowded as the classes had just finished as he was passing by the office area he noticed that Jubilee was on the phone talking to someone "Any teacher in particular or you just want any teacher I can find?" his trek towards the kitchen stopped as his ears picked up the conversation. They didn't get a lot of calls like that a lot, Jubilee turned to glance at him, "Well, I've got Mr. Wagner he is T.A here and can pass your message to the other teachers" After a moment of silence the she chuckled, "The others are busy at the moment, it's the best I can do." Kurt grimaced when Jubilee held the phone out towards him,
"Kurt Wagner speaking, how can I help you?" He asked while shooing the chuckling Jubilee away. "Hello?" he checked the phone to see If this was some sort of trick of Jubilee's, she was visiting for the weekend and he expected to be the brunt of a few jokes.
Finally, a hesitant Male voice spoke. "Hello My name is Howard Smith and I was informed that your school can help my Son?" Kurt's eyebrow rose a bit at this, They'd gotten some unusual phone calls before but call like this were rare
"Well, what kind of help does your son need?" He asked taking a seat, his stomach was rumbling and he really didn't have a lot of time left before he had report to others for the Danger room session.
"He's an Empath, and his shields have stopped working after a murder suicide took place in our apartment building." The man replied catching Kurt a little off guard, the fact that their school was specifically for mutants was not public knowledge. There were only a very few people that knew about them and if they wanted to contact them they use their personal phone number given to them not the public line.
"Is your son alright Mr. Smith?" Kurt inquired knowing that murder suicide for someone young with a mental shield would have been nasty.
"Ohh yes yes he is fine despite our situation I think my son got quite lucky, his teacher had informed us what to do in the situation like this I had sedated him immediately after hearing the gunshots. Thought his condition Is fine his teacher gave us your phone number and told us that your school can help our son." Mr. Smith answered.
"Mr. Smith can you please tell us your Address so a representative from our institute can come and check up on your situation" Kurt asked this was a standard procedure for the students who parents have contacted them still this case was unusual Kurt had no doubt the rest of the team would want to investigate the teacher in question.
"In the mean time I recommend you to start packing your son's bags with clothes and other essentials as well as applying for a transfer certificate from his school so you can submit it to our school in a later date." Kurt Informed him
"Thanks Mr. Wagner we will be waiting for your institute representative's tomorrow" Mr. Smith replied before finishing the call.
Kurt's stomach grumbled as he checks the time he was already 5 Minutes late before deciding to screw it and head towards the kitchen anyway he had a good excuse for being late today.
Meanwhile
Pamela and the girls were stuck in traffic while on their way back home, a truck containing some container had meet some mishap slipping its container on the road though fortunately no one got hurt it still it had caused a large traffic line while they were trying to put the containers back to the truck.
"Jesus Christ! Do they really need to keep honking their car horns?" Jessica exclaimed while putting her hand over her ears to drown out the car horn noises surrounding them.
Pamela only chuckled "This car is already fitted with all the possible noise reduction equipment when I bought it, still it won't drown out the noise entirely" she replied while browsing through her phone
"Just don't pay too much attention to it Jess" Annie tries to encourage her who just huffed in annoyance because of their current situation
"Do you think Eric would be alright Pamela?" Annie asked
"Hmmm…. yes, he will be fine little one" Pamela tears her eyes away from her phone to ensure Annie "The institute might be the safest place for any mutant who has still not mastered his or her abilities and provides a safe haven to them the fact that its well-hidden helps a lot" she continued
"Do you think you would have joined the institute if your grandfather would have allowed you to go?" Jessica asked her
"That decision was not entirely up to my Grandfather as my Grandmother wanted me join the school mostly for my safety" Pamela replied "It was my decision not to go there and I don't regret that decision one bit" she added
"Though…" Pamela looked at Jessica by the rear view mirror "You can go there if you want" Pamela offered Jessica the opportunity
Jessie looked at Pamela and remained silent as if she was think the offer through
"Look while I can teach Annie how to use her power I have no idea how to teach you how to master them" Pamela explained her reasons still not getting any reply form Jessica
"I think you should think it through Jess" Annie encourages her
Jessica looked at Annie for a little while before nodding slowly getting soft smile form Annie though the noise of the car horn form behind quickly caught her off guard
"OHHHHH COME ON!" Jessica screamed out loud in Annoyance greatly amusing Pamela in the process who was laughing at Jessica reaction.
Back at the X-Mansion
"He is late…" Logan mused to himself while chomping down his lit cigar
"Yes its quite unusual for him to be late" Prof. Xavier mused while strolling past Logan in his wheelchair "If it was Mr. Drake I would have understood but Kurt is never late" He adds later
"Hey that's not fair Professor I was not late today" Bobby complained before being hit by a diamond crust hand at the back of his head "Owwwwwwww… Emma! That hurt" Bobby moaned in pain while rubbing the area that has been hit.
"Its Ms. Frost for you" Emma reminds him as her hand turns back normal "and just so you came in early today does not change the fact that you are always late for training" the scantily clad women scolded him
"Charles is there a chance that Kurt thought that today's training session was cancelled as most of the members are either out on assignments or taking a weekend off away from school" Hank asked the Prof. Xavier while handing upside down reading his book
"Hmmm you could be right" Prof. Xavier replied "Rogue how about you go and.." He was interrupted by Kurt who had just teleported himself in the room
"Sorry guys for keeping you all waiting but I promise there is a very good reason behind why I am late" Kurt apologized
"Did it involve you stuffing your face with food" Emma asked in a snarky tone getting a smirk from Logan and some giggles from Bobby and Rogue
"What are you talking about? ..." Kurt asked not getting what Emma was trying to say before noticing that Rogue and Bobby who were standing behind Emma were pointing towards their cheeks before touching his own cheeks and finding out there were some remnants of snacks he ate left in cheek.
"Ohh… This no I was just having some snacks as I got hungry" Kurt replied while wiping his cheeks "I was actually talking to the parents of a potential student for the school" Kurt tells them
"Did this call came while we were in the meeting Kurt?" Prof. Xavier inquired
"Yes Professor Jubilee was one who initially answered the call the parents wanted to talk to someone from teaching staff and as you all were busy I had to answer" Kurt replied as he passed the note in which he had written down Mr. Smith address to the Professor
"Did the parents say anything about their child mutation?" Professor asked him while he was examining the note
"Yeah it was one the reason why they contacted us in the first place, their kid is an empath and his shield broke down last night after a murder suicide took place in their apartment complex last night, fortunately the parents sedated him immediately after hearing the first gunshot" Kurt replies
"Look like the parents were well informed on the do and don't regarding the situation" Emma said out loud with a small smile knowing that the kid was okay
"Yeah Kurt are any of the kid's parents mutant because these are not exactly a well-known solution?" Hanks asked him as he gets down on the floor and puts his book away
"No none of them are mutants I had asked them the same question as you Hank, ways on how to deal with an Empath the do and don't aren't exactly that well known outside but they told me that their sons teacher helped them with that quite a lot she was also the person who gave them our school number and told them that you would be able to help their son" Kurt tells them, Professor Xavier, Emma, Hank and Logan all shared a look after getting the information.
"Well this is interesting" Charles muttered before looking at the note in his hands
"This is not a case from our regular contacts Charles it could be a trap as nobody outside aside from the few should know this is a Mutant school and this person knew about that and she know you and your powers" Emma gave him her reasons for concern.
"What do you think should we do Logan?" Charles turned his head around to ask the brooding man who had been smoking his cigar silently during the conversation
"I say we go and get the kid even if it's a trap, it would be best we go as two team one who will go the house as school representatives the other would go as a backup if things do go south" Logan replied while taking a few puffs here and there.
"Hmm it's a good idea" Charles replied "Emma you and Logan will go to the house as school representatives while Bobby, Rogue and Kurt will provide for your backup" he continued
"Are you sure sending Logan is good idea we are trying to make a good first impression for school in front of the Parents" Emma said out loud with annoyance laced in her voice getting a chuckle out of Logan in process
"While I do know that Logan's peculiar charm is not everybody cup of tea" Charles replied with a slight humor present in his voice
"Thanks Charles" Logan thanked him in a sarcastic voice for the backhanded compliment getting a few giggles out of the youngsters
"he is a member of the school and is part of its teaching staff plus Most of the school teachers are either out on vacation or on assignments" Charles continued getting a reluctant nod Emma in reply
"With that out of the way I think about time we head for the Danger room for some training" Charles tells them as he leaves for the danger room with other following him.
