Blastwave 6

In the days that followed Scott's beating the animosity between the glasses wearing teen and Harry had become one of grudging respect. Scott respected Harry's request for space and wolverine like tendencies like being an utter animal in combat and Harry reluctantly heeded the teen's strategic mind-set and only obeyed a quarter or so of the orders "Runs in the family." Harry said and refused to budge on the matter.

Harry was being tutored at the manor after school. Harry, sighed as he finished his last page of algebra homework, or was it next weeks. He shrugged, ever since he and Wolverine had begun interact more with each other; Harry found his priorities changing. He was never the most studious of people but after getting his ass handed to him eighteen times to eight in three different training scenarios against other mutants, he wanted to impress his grandfather.

Wolverine had seen the rapid change in behaviour. He had a feeling which had been reinforced by Xavier that his grandson had been forced to be thicker and weaker than his cousin. He wasn't going to confront his grandson, but he would assist him. Offer him extra training to get him on par with his colleagues and possibly tempt him with weapon training if his grades were high enough.

As for his magic Xavier wasn't willing to proceed with it. At least not until the American Ministry of Magic had been to visit to grant Harry a citizenship.

Harry found he was a very quick learner. All he had to do was trust himself. Soon enough his grades began to improve dramatically so much so Miss. Lantis asked him to remain behind after Geography.

The bell rang signifying the end of the lesson "Mr. Potter, a word please." Harry nodded, he made his way to the desk and his eyes judged his teachers: height, weight, build, distance from desk to door.

"I'm not going to strike you Mister Potter…It's forbidden…I just wanted to have a chat…Are you okay?"

Harry nodded and perched himself on the desk "What is this about? Home life is better than it was. I'm resolving that."

Lantis grinned "You can talk to me in confidence if you so wish. Anyway it's your grades…well they've increased. Just wondering why?"

Harry grunted "Found a way that suits me finally for studying. Nothing more." It was a white lie, more of a lie but it was relatively truthful. With that he left the classroom.

Due to the fact that he joined the school a week ago not everyone had been accustomed to the new guy. This was further enhanced by his (in)ability to not back down from being bullied.

It was lunchtime, Harry joined Scott, Kurt and the rest at their designated corner of the playground. Jean Grey was with Duncan "Shades, what the fuck is up between you and Jean?" Harry growled as he speared one of his fries with his fork.

"There's nothing…Nothing going on alright just drop it." Replied Scott.

Harry snorted "Keep telling yourself that. Jaysus Christ, I don't like you but even I know that Jean and you are a much better pair than her and that dumbass."

Kurt chuckled "That is what I've noticed Harry." Scott sighed and decided to take the wind out of Harry's sails or at least try.

"How's it going with Rogue?"

Harry sighed "Going as well as it can be considering how first meetings went and the fact that I'm a train wreck."

Unfortunately the last words were caught by Duncan and his buddies "What's this about a train wreck?"

Harry looked at them "Someone call the zoo. I think I've found their three lost monkeys."

Duncan and his lackey's snarled. Duncan grabbed Harry's sandwich and chucked it at Harry's face. Everyone watched as Harry seamlessly moved out the way of the oncoming projectile. His hand lashed out, plucked it out the air and then launched it across the courtyard knocking another kid's juice carton out of his hand.

"I believe you missed…Is this the part where you insult me, I insult you, then you challenge me to a fight and then chicken out? If so…piss off." Duncan snarled, made his way around the table and hauled Harry out of his seat.

Jean quickly made her way forwards "Duncan, leave him alone."

"This punk needs to learn his lesson." Snarled Duncan his eyes glinting as he grabbed Harry.

Harry smirked. He was hoping this wouldn't have to escalate but he knew that it most likely would. "Scott, Jean…What's my granddad and Xavier gonna do if it comes out that the three monkeys end up in hospital."

His hearing disorientated as one of them punched him in the stomach. "Take that freak." This was followed by another punch, Harry hit the ground. It was quickly followed up by a kick to the back. Harry curled up protecting his face and chest.

The kicks landed firmly across his back and his mind began bringing up images of the belt. He suddenly found himself falling out of his body and into his mind where he found Alex. "I won't blame you if you let me out Harry. Harry, seriously…you need to stand up for yourself." Said Alex as he observed Harry's beating.

"Okay…I won't need powers." Harry replied.

Alex grinned "I know…On three I'm sending you back. Be warned it's going to hurt like nothing else…Three!" With that the interior of Harry's mind dissolved and Harry found himself back in his body.

Harry lashed out with a punch connecting solidly with someone's knee. One of the kickers stopped and Harry commenced his attack. Harry got to his feet to see the one of the people he had fought when he first arrived moving away.

Harry got to his feet, his eyes flashing furiously. The second kicker came at him. Harry darted away, balanced on one foot and drove his elbow into George's centre of mass. The crowd winced as George collapsed to his knees clutching his ribs. Harry finished it with a head to the wooden bench.

Duncan was suddenly on him. The boy's punches were wild, strong, unco-ordinated and most importantly coming from the elbow. Harry took two to the face. Harry didn't wince as he felt his eye blacken. Harry grabbed the next punch, rotated the arm and seamlessly in one action flipped Duncan onto his back, slamming him into the floor whilst Harry drove his knee into Duncan's back as the green eyed fighter yanked Duncan's arm out of its socket.

"Harry, enough!" Harry wasn't listening. His gander was up and he was intent on exacting Matthew 5:38-42 on these three. Somebody got him around his waist.

"Scott! You never told me, he was this hard to restrain!" It sounded German. Harry began struggling even more. He distinctly heard more voices but they were sounding warped and disjointed.

Rogue, Rahne, Amara and Jubilee entered the playground as they saw Harry kick off. Rogue sighed, she darted forwards and positioned herself directly in front of Harry's thrashing form "Harry, its meh. Rogue. Come on snap outta it?"

It was like a haze being lifted from his eyes. Rogue stood in front of him "What happened?"

"Duncan an' his friends…Yeh dismantled two o' them in broad daylight." Rogue said.

"Are they still alive?" Rogue nodded "…Well that's good. What do we have next? Scott, Kurt…Let go please." There was a reluctant grumbling but they acquiesced.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Wagner, Mr. Summers, Miss. Grey, Miss. Marie, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Smith and Mr. Clark, Headmistress Darkholme wants a word."

Harry shrugged and grabbed his stuff "You know Xavier's gonna lecture you about this." Scott said.

Harry shrugged "Point? Remember who's teaching us for self-defence and who my blood guardian is." Scott nodded.

"Logan's gonna fillet you."

"As if…More like you lot for not sticking up for the group."

Duncan, Ryan and Ben looked at Harry "You don't seem concerned about seeing the Headmistress."

"Considering you three beat me to hell and then I attacked you."

"You started it Freak!" Snarled Duncan.

Harry vanished and slammed Duncan into the wall of the corridor just out of sight of the reception "Call me freak again and I will remove your spine through your arse."

"That's not…"

"Oh it's very possible. Though before I do that I think I'll set your nerves on fire. Hopefully your brain won't drive you comatose from the pain." With that Harry dropped the older teen and he began to take on a red glow.

"Everyone keep moving." Someone called and soon enough they were in the Headmistresses office. The evidence of Harry losing his temper completely gone due to a neat bit of accidental magic which was unnoticed by everyone.

The lecture from Darkholme was simple "Fight again all of you will be expelled."

Everyone left. For Harry the rest of the day could not come quick enough, Kitty and Rogue were heading to the mall and Harry was going with them. He was currently in English with Rogue, she looked at him with what looked like concern in her eyes "You okay?"

Harry smiled briefly and Rogue's heart fluttered as Harry's grin made it to his eyes and they glittered for a bit "We still on?"

"Mr. Potter, Miss Marie anything you want to share with the class?"

"No."

The bell rang and everyone left the room and shortly the school. Scott dropped the three of them off and that was when Harry met more unsavoury parts of Bayville in the form or the Friends of Humanity Group.
