Chapter 2

Plane rides and stories

Third person POV

The plane ride was long, which gave enough time to explain the origins of the X-Men, started by Charles Xavier, and how he created a school for "Gifted Youngsters" as a safe heaven for mutants.

"Wait, wait, and wait." Don said "Charles Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters is a school just for mutants?"

"Yep." Said Asha. "Good cover huh?"

"Wow, it's just that, when I was younger, I always wanted to go to that school. Albeit, just because I thought it was a school only for the really smart, but because of the way we look I always thought we couldn't, but now…" Don was at a loss for words.

"But now it feels like a slap in the face, because now you know that you could have?" Asha said, understanding. "Don't worry about the past, because you'll get to go there now."

"Yeah," Don said a little happier. He smiled at Asha, as a way to say "Thank you".

"Dude, that is so cool!! You're like super heroes!" Mikey yelled, and would have jumped out of his seat if not for the seat belt.

"Kind of kid, we are not the spandex wearing, flying around at night, looking for trouble heroes. We just deal with mutant affairs." Logan said

"So, you said that each mutant has different abilities, and every power never manifests itself more than once. What are yours?" Leo asked Deser`e.

"Well other than the obvious," Deser`e said pointing to her wings, "I have some mental abilities, such as seeing glimpses of the future. And when I say glimpses, I mean a few seconds tops, its not that useful. And also, if I concentrate hard enough, I can find out almost every trait a person has."

Leo, Raph and Don nodded their heads, while Mikey just starred in confusion.

"So, what does that mean?" Mikey asked

"Not a bright one is he?" Logan whispered to Storm.

"Logan!" Storm whispered back harshly.

"It means," Deser`e told Mikey, who did not hear Logan and Storm, "That I can figure out your fears, desires, dreams, your entire personality, stuff like that."

"Oh, Okay!" Mikey finally understood.

"So what about you?" Donnie asked Asha.

"I can manipulate energy currents." Asha said. "But I can only manipulate, not create. They can be natural, like lightning, or man-made, like electricity from a plug –in."

"Hence the nick-name Edison, after the man that invented the light bulb." Donnie said understanding. "What about your eyes? Do they have something to do with your mutation?"

"No, I was born with them. My Grandmother, on my Father's side, had them as well. Its just genetics." Asha said, Don nodded some more. The group fell into an awkward silence, until Chloe piped up.

"I can borrow other mutant's powers!" She said enthusiastically. "It does not even have to be a mutant!" Chloe started to ramble and speed talk. "If I touch, just a regular human I "borrow" their best abilities. Hence the nick-name 'borrower', but you probably figured that out. But a good example of my abilities it when we were fighting the ninjas that captured you and what is with the ninjas? Mutants I understand, but NINJAS? Really? But I digress, all I had to do was touch them, and I could fight like a ninja! And… Hay!" Chloe yelled as something collided with her head.

"Sorry, we haven't found the mute button." Deser`e said a she stifled her laughing.

"I knew we should have made her say a few words during the conversation." Kitty could barley control her laughing also. "Instead, she blows up and started rambling non-stop!"

"Hey!" Chloe protested.

"God, it's like the girl version of Mikey!" Raph commented, and everyone laughed even more.

"So anyway," Bobby politely interrupted, "What type of mutants are you guys? I mean no offence; it's just that I have never seen mutants like you before."

"Well that is a very long story, child." Master Splinter said

"Well we have time. There is about a half and hour before we land." Storm said, wanting to know their tale, just as much as the children.

"Very well…" And Master Splinter told the tale of their origins. (A/N: we all know the story, so I'm just going to skip it. If you don't know it, go to the TMNT website, its there in detail.)

Throughout the story no question were asked, the children and the professors listened intently. After the tale was over, they were almost ready to land.

"So you started out as animals?" Deser`e said, unsure about what she just heard.

"Yep, cool huh?" Mickey said with a huge smile.

"Very!" All the X-Men said.

Nothing else was said on the matter. Frankly, the turtles were happy that, even though they are not mutants like the X-Men, they accepted them either way. They were also happy that they treated them equal to them, instead of how humans usually screamed and run to the hills.

But they are not truly human. Leo thought. So they know what its like to be treated like a freak. Leo started to remember times in his life, when all he would wish for was to be normal. Leo remembered saving an old lady from being mugged, and when he tried to help her, she screamed bloody murder and ran out into the street saying an animal attacked her. Even when it was obvious he tried to help.

"It won't be like that." A voice said, snapping him out of his thoughts. He looked to Deser`e and saw her looking at him. "People will accept you at the school, they won't scream and run away, or give you looks. We're all freaks, and freaks stick together."

Leo looked at her confused. "How did you…"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pried. It's just my power, you're worried that a scenario like that will happen again, and thus I was able to see it. Again I'm sorry." Deser`e looked away ashamed of what she did. She never liked being able to go into someone's mind like that. She liked her privacy, and the others gave that to her no questions asked, but she gave privacy to no one and thus felt like a hypocrite.

"It's fine. I don't mind, really, I shouldn't be thinking that anyway. Really it's okay." Leo said as he smiled at her. Deser`e smiled back, even if it was a little smile, it was still a smile.

"Get ready to land." Storm called back to the children.

The X-Men then continued to tell the turtles and their master what to expect at the school, and where their rooms would be. They soon landed and everyone was walking down the ramp and towards the large, very old looking school.

The others walked ahead and followed Storm and Logan, the turtles admiring the look of the school and grounds. Raph stayed behind a little bit to ask a couple of questions to Kitty.

"So what's your mutant power?" Raph asked as he continued to follow the teachers.

"I can walk through walls, objects, people, and stuff like that." Kitty then disappeared into the ground, only to come up again a few seconds later. "I basically become an inanimate object." She said a little shy. "It saves a lot of time, opening doors."

Raph and Kitty both laughed at the comment. Once the laughing died down, Raph noticed Rogue walking next to Bobby, fidgeting a little too much with her fingers.

"What is her power?" Raph asked Kitty, pointing to Rogue.

"Oh, Rogue, her power was like Chloe's, except she had to keep it contact with the person in order to use their power. But it had major side affects, if she held on too long the person could possibly die." Kitty finished.

"Was her power?" Raph inquired.

"Rogue's powers interfered with her life so much, she went and got the cure. But we are worried, because there have been complaints that the cure has stopped working after a few months of the initial injection. Magneto is a prime example of that." Kitty explained.

"What is the cure?" Raph was getting so into the conversation with Kitty, he almost didn't notice Storm calling his name.

"Raph, you will share this room with your brother Leo, is that okay?" Storm asked.

"Yeah, it is." Raph said, not completely aware of what was going on.

"That is good, Mikey and Don, you'll be in the room to the right, and Master Splinter your room is across the hall. Get settled in, at around seven-thirty we will meet in the auditorium and introduce you to the rest of the group." Storm said, then turned and walked down the hall.

"I'll talk to you later Raph?" Kitty asked.

"Yeah, sure." Raph replied.

After Kitty was out of sight and Master Splinter retired to his room, Mikey turned to Raph.

"Sooo, what was that about?" Mikey asked in a suggestive tone.

"It wasn't anything; I was just talking to her. Asking questions about the school and mutants, how stuff works around here." Raph replied in a defensive tone.

"Sure you were!" Mikey said sarcastically.

"Okay guys that's enough!" Leo intervened. "We don't need fighting, let's just hang out in the rooms and go to auditorium at seven-thirty, and then we can take it from there."

"Whatever." Raph said simply as he entered his and Leo's room.

Authors Note: Okay, well what do you think? I know it's a bit rushed, but it will continue! I am getting to a part in the story where I'm starting to get writers block, so PLEASE GIVE ME SUGESTIONS!!!!! I REALLY NEED THEM!!! Believe it or not this took me 3 days to write!

Again this is X-Men MOVIES not comics, so I apologize if the characters differ from the comics, but I am using my interpretation of the movie verse characters. I have never even picked up an X-Men comic, let alone read it, so I am not familiar with the "lingo" of the X-Men comic universe. So if there is a difference in character, truly I do not mean it.

Have a good week, hopefully I will update this weekend!
