Kitty is walking you down a hallway; it is very large with many doors. Kitty is explaining last night's events, and what purpose this building serves. "So your uniform thing is downstairs, and yeah you saw the danger room. Xavier is planning on officially introducing you to everyone, at breakfast. But he needs a real name, so tell me what it is; please?", she asked with big sad eyes.
"My name is, Tyler Eugene Lance", you tell her. "We just need, the first 2 parts of your name", kitty said. "Why?", you ask her. "Xavier is giving you, a different last name. As part of a cover story; to explain you being here. Xavier wants the dimensional rift thing a secret. So as a cover, you will pose as a relative of someone who knows you're from another dimension. So, well…..", she drifted off. "What?", you ask her curiously. "I volunteered; everyone is going to think you're my younger brother. So your temporary last name is Pryde", she said. "Also, Xavier did a bit of work on memories last night. The original X-men, forge, Xavier, and Dr McCoy; they're the only ones who no you're from another dimension. Nobody else even knows you're here", she explained.
"Kitty, my favorite hoodie shrank in the wash. Did you move the detergents again?", complained a tall familiar teen with red shades. "Sorry Scott, it must have slipped my mind when I was getting Tyler's clothes ready", kitty said nervously. Scott then noticed you, seeming surprised that you were there. "Xavier couldn't access his mind; but you alone already learned his name?", Scott asked. Scott looked from you to his hoodie, then back again. "See if this fits", Scott said. The hoodie was a bit loose, with a Chinese dragon coiling down each sleeve; one red, and one blue. A burning orange yin-yang symbol on the back, but the hoodie's primary color was white.
"Looking good, you keep that", Scott said before walking off. You zip up the hoodie about halfway, finally noticing that the dragon's tails dangled on either side of the zipper. "Come on, I'm starving!", kitty whined as she dragged you to the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs, several people were talking; you recognize none from last night. "Hey guys, what's up?", kitty said as you finish descending. Everyone turned to her, and set curious eyes on you immediately. "Isn't that Scotts hoodie?", one boy asked. A girl with dark hair walked up and slapped said boy in the head. "Great opening line there cannonball!", she say's sarcastically.
She walks over, and bends forward; looking at you, with a smile. "Well then, what's your name cutie? Mines Elizabeth, but you may call me Betsy", she said kindly. "Tyler…Pryde", you said; the fake name tasted wrong. "Pryde?", Betsy's eyes were wide. "My little brother", Kitty said timidly. "You never mentioned him before", claimed cannonball. While everyone gave kitty accusing stares, Xavier had a quick telepathic talk with you; he mentions the x-gene, then you have a cover story.
"Kitty never mentioned me, because I've always been a hard subject. I've spent almost half of my whole life in a hospital, being constantly treated for severe conditions. I practically turned that hospital into a motel, they even considered charging rent. I was in the healthcare system so much, I've only had one day of school my whole life", you stop to take a breath.
While Kitty kept a neutral face, everyone else had a look that was a cross between sympathy and horror on their faces.
"Anyway, as a result of constant and basically endless sickness; I'm poorly developed. I'm 9 years old, but I look maybe 5. The only reason I'm out, is because my x-gene activated while I was in the hospital. A few days ago, the doctors noticed my condition improving, and then a nurse brought in two visitors. Xavier told me about this place, took care of my hospital bill too. Then boom, I arrived late last night", you finish.
"Professor Xavier said, if it wasn't for his x-gene developing; Tyler would most likely be dead right now", kitty said. "That's such a sad story", Betsy choked out. "I'm hungry, can we get breakfast? This could be my first decent meal in a long time, since I've been living on hospital-style food for years", you say casually.
"I've never seen so much food", you say. The dining table was feet upon feet long, with many chairs. Halfway through breakfast, Xavier decided to introduce you.
"Everyone, I would like you to meet Tyler Pryde. Kitty's younger brother", everyone said their hellos. "Hey, so what's your power?", Betsy asked. "You have a codename yet?", asked a girl with a yellow coat. "Codename?", you ask. "Everyone gets a codename. Mine is Psylocke", Betsy said. "We can get him a codename later. I want to see his powers first", cannonball said; everyone agreed.
You feel nervous, so you telepathically speak to Xavier. "Xavier, I don't want a codename. I already have one; White Sparrow", you tell him. "Don't worry, you can keep that name. Everyone chooses their own", Xavier replied.
"Kurt, do you mind taking Tyler to hanks lab?", Xavier asked the blue- tailed one. Kurt nods, before flipping over the table and grabbing you; you both disappear in a puff of smoke.
"Good you're here", forge said. "We are very intrigued by this suit of yours. But we have some questions. First; why the goggles?", hank asked. "They enhance my x-ray vision, and heat vision", you say. "Why do you need this odd helmet?", hank asked. "It protects my mind from Psychics", you say. "What about these ear covers?", forge inquired. "They protect me from supersonic attacks", you say. "One more question now. Your suit seems to absorb solar energy, and filter it into your body. Why is that?", hank asked. "My powers are fueled by yellow sun energy, and drained by red sun energy. The more yellow in me, the stronger my powers get", you say. "Speaking of which; what are your powers?", hank asked. "Flight, super speed, super strength, x-ray vision, heat vision, ice breath, super breath, invulnerability, super hearing, super eyesight, super stamina. Also; my body doesn't get hot enough to need to cool down, and yellow sun energy heals my injuries. And as such, I've never gotten sick", you say. "Incredible!", forge and hank say simultaneously.
"We will begin making your institute uniform soon. But first; do you have any costume ideas or preferences?", hank asked. 15 minutes later, you leave for the upper levels; deciding to join the others to watch TV.
"We need to build this suit special, but no lower face mask; it seems a hassle. Plus we should also enhance his goggles. As well as the suits yellow solar energy intake", forge said. Hank nodded, and so they went to work on the most difficult x-suit they ever made.
"Relax, I bet your x-suit will rock!", bobby drake stated. "I hope so", you say in reply. Meanwhile, Rogue, Kitty, and Betsy walked into the room, and scowled at you guys. Kitty covered your eyes, while rogue changed the channel; Betsy was giving the guys a loud telepathic talking-too.
"Why were you letting him watch Saw 3?!", kitty shouted. "He walked in while we were watching it", bobby said. "Then change the channel or something!", kitty shouted again. Meanwhile, Rogue was carrying you from the fighting; she takes you outside. "Aw, come on sug'. Don't ya like this weather? Cause Ah'm lovin' it!", she says in a strange accent. "Aren't you hot in all that?", you ask, motioning to the clothes she wore. You see that she's wearing a yellow and green full body suit, a small brown jacket, gloves, and a headband of sorts.
"Ah'm use to it hon, it helps. Mah mutation makes skin contact impossible for me, as mah skin absorbs powers, life force, and memories. Kitty'd have mah hide if I hurt ya, also", rogue said.
"Sounds awful, I'd hate to not be able to hold my mom's hand when she wants me to", you say, looking at the ground. Rogue nods sympathetically, before checking the sun, and the time.
"Have ya eva' been swimmin' hon?", she asked. "What's swimming?", you ask her. "Lotta fun; that's what", rogue said.
"Hey Kitty, want to teach Tyler how to swim?", rogue asked. "Good idea, let's get our swim suits on. But we need to get one for Tyler", kitty said. "Scott, Ah'm taking your car keys!", rogue shouts as you leave the porch. You return 25 minutes later, and rogue returns Scotts keys.
"Now, swimming isn't easy to learn. We'll start slow for ya", rogue said.
Meanwhile in the mansions lower levels, beast and forge were making progress. "These modifications are amazing, this suit will be our greatest work yet!", beast said. "Yeah, I wonder though; was it smart to use our supply of rare metals on this project?", forge asked. "Adamantium and vibranium, combined they have made this remarkable alloy. This suit, its features; nothing can compare to how it will help the boy", hank said. "You forgot the unstable molecules", forge said. "Ah yes, for allowing the suit to grow with him", hank said. "It'll be done soon", forge said.
"Now, easy strokes; kay?", rogue said. The three of you were outside, in the school pool. Rogue was the instructor, and kitty was on standby for med assistance. "I got it", you say. "Don't let him drown rogue!", kitty called. "Obviously!", rogue shouts.
"Tyler, forge said to tell you that your suits ready!", bobby called from a window. You, kitty, and rogue all smile, before heading inside.
