Disclaimer: If I owned X-Men Gambit and X-23 would've been on the team from the begining, Rogue would get control of her powers in like the 2nd season, MUCH MORE ROMY would've been incorperated, and Spyke would've been replaced with Marrow. So, yeah. I don't own X-Men.
Okay so Rachel Summers (AKA Pheonix or Pheanix or whaterver) Comes in in this chapter. If you want the connection between her and a certain boy to further just review and tell me! Oh! And if you want to see any other character or Ryan from the begining come in just tell me :).
Jordan was sitting in front of the Professor, looking at the ground. The Professor cleared his throat and Jordan didn't look up. The Professor pursed his lips, "Hello Jordan. I am Professor Xavier. I understand you have a mutant ability?" Jordan nodded without looking up and someone walked into the room. Jordan jumped out of his seat and suddenly had two sai in his hands and in a fighting stance. A teen with red glasses ushered three others behind him.
Jordan growled softly and his hands tightened around his sai. The Professor cleared his throat and Jordan looked at him, "Jordan, this is Scott Summers. He is a friend." At the word friend Jordan relaxed and looked Summers over. Without a word he sat back down and continued staring at the floor. Scott stuck a hand out and Jordan jumped.
"Hi. I'm Scott. What's your power?" Jordan looked at him in surprise.
"Power? Do you mean mutation?"
Scott nodded and Jordan shrugged, "It's hard to explain…"
Scott made a gesture for him to stand, "Show us."
Jordan stared at him, trying to decide if he was serious or not. Then he stood and shoved his hands in his pockets, "Back up." They did as asked and waited. They didn't wait long. Jordan yanked his hands out of his pockets and two sword handles were thrown into the air. When they reached the climax of their arch blades came out of them and extended into swords. Jordan caught them and started twirling them like batons in front of him. Then he stopped suddenly and stabbed the swords into the ground beside him. Out of nowhere he produced two sai and twirled them with his fingers. Then he stood straight and slipped his sai into two belt loops. He yanked his swords out of the ground and pressed a button on the bottom of the hilt. After slipping them into his pockets he sat back down, leaving Scott to gape.
He inspected a finger nail and started chewing on a cuticle when Scott cleared his throat, "Um. This is Jean, Jamie, and Warren."
Jean smiled, "Hi." Warren nodded.
Jamie ran over to Jordan, "That was so cool! What other weapons can you use? What else can you do? Can you show me how to do that? I really think your swords are cool!"
Jordan blinked, "Uh… Thanks. Any kind of close range combat. I have this thing where I can sense if there are any weapons in the area and I almost never get hurt, I've got good reflexes. Sure. Thanks I made them myself."
Jamie's eyes glittered with excitement, "Come on! I'll show you around!" then he pulled Jordan away.
Jordan collapsed on the couch and groaned, "My legs hurt." Jamie laughed. Jordan raised an eyebrow, "Did I say something funny?"
Jamie shook his head violently, "No! I just… You're the only one my age around here. And you're way cooler than I am." Jordan laughed and Jamie looked at his feet.
Jordan raised an eyebrow, "So you're 13 huh?" Jamie nodded. Jordan rubbed his hands together, "Ever had a sleep over?" Jamie blinked and Jordan grinned, "C'mon." Jamie followed Jordan out of the room and into the kitchen where he clapped his hands. Everyone looked at him, "Hi. I'm Jordan. Jamie here" He threw an arm over Jamie's shoulder, "thinks it would be a good idea to have a little slumber party to get me acquainted with some of you. Come if you want! See ya!" then he was pulled into his room.
Jamie paced around while Jordan sat peacefully on the ground, "I don't think this is a good idea. What if no one comes? What if…"
Jordan kept his eyes closed, "Chill dude. Just be mellow." Jamie glared at him and a smile tugged at Jordan's lips, "Sorry." Jamie opened his mouth to argue when someone knocked on the door. Jordan opened his eyes and smirked, "Told ya. Come in!"
Summers opened the door and walked in, "This was actually a good idea so I brought some friends." A blue elf, a small girl, Jean, a girl with auburn hair, a boy with red eyes, and a strawberry-blonde headed girl followed him into the room. Jamie's eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
The blonde head huddled close to Jean and stared at the ground. Jordan stuck his hand out to her, "I'm Jordan." She shook his hand, "Rachel." He flashed a cheeky smile and sat down on the ground, "Who wants to play the ice-breaker game?" Everyone sat down in a circle and Jordan smiled, "I'll start. I'm Jordan and I'm thirteen. When I was 10 I got my first sword. The next day I had to use it. To cut my kite down from a tree."
Jamie laughed, "I'm Jamie and I'm thirteen. Last year I sent a clone on a blind date because I was sick. He has yet to return."
"I'm Jean. Um… I've never kissed a boy."
"Scott. I uh… had a crush on my 5th grade teacher."
"Who hasn't? Oh. I'm Remy. I was married when I was 13."
"WHAT!? We gonna have a talk about that later. Rogue. I like havin my hair braided and stuff like that."
Everyone stopped to look at her. She raises an eyebrow, "What?"
"Um… I'm Kitty. I had a crush at someone at the institute for a long time."
"Kurt. I had a crush on Kitty for a year."
"I'm Rachel. I'm Jean's god-daughter. I'm visiting."
Jordan flashed a smile her direction and looked at Scott, "Want to play a video game?"
Two hours later, 10:00 PM…
Scott dropped his arms to his sides, defeated, "I never should have agreed to play Wii Boxing with you. That's the third time you beat me!"
Jordan shrugged, "Hand to hand, close range, same difference."
Jamie shook his head, "I don't care. I wanna play racing now."
Rogue's head shot up from the book she was reading, "Racing? I'm out."
Kitty giggled, "I can, like, do your hair and stuff."
Rogue shrugged and Remy sat down beside Jordan, "I'll play."
Jordan looked at Remy, "How old are you?"
Remy blinked, "22. Why?"
"Rogue. How old are you?"
"I'm 17."
Jordan counted on his fingers, "Okay. If she's 17 and you're 22 then you're… 5 years older. Rachel how old are you?"
Rachel blushed as all attention turned to her, "11. And a half."
Jordan nodded, "Okay. Thanks."
Rogue looked at Remy, "You're 22?!"
Remy blushed, "Oui chér. Remy is 22."
Rogue narrowed her eyes, "You realize that I think that's–"
Remy cut her off with a grin, "Cool? Or that it makes me even more awesome?"
Rogue rolled her eyes, "Stupid Cajun."
Jamie handed Remy, Jordan, Scott, and Kurt a controller, "Let's play!"
11:30…
Rachel sat down beside Jordan and watched the boy's race. Remy was in first, Jordan was right behind him, Jamie in 3rd, Kurt in 4th, and Scott in dead last. Jordan veered right and into a hidden shortcut. He came out right in front of Remy who groaned, "How'd you…!"
Jordan grinned after he beat Remy to the finish line, "I took a jab in the dark." Rachel tapped his shoulder and Jordan glanced at her then did a double take, "Cool hair."
Rachel blushed, "Thanks. Rogue cut it for me."
Remy raised an eyebrow, "Rogue knows how to cut hair? I just realized my hair is far too long. Oh Rogue!" He ran over and sat down in front of her, "I'm next."
Rogue blinked, "You want ya signature ponytail chopped off?"
Remy nodded once, "If it means your fingers are in my hair, chér, yes."
Rogue rolled her eyes and started snipping his hair.
Jordan looked a Rachel's, now boy-style short, hair and nodded in approval, "It's nice."
Rachel smiled shyly, "Thank you. I like your hair too."
Jordan ran a hand through said hair, "Really? I didn't even brush it today…"
Rachel giggled, "I like it because it's actually black not dark brown or anything."
Jordan chuckled, "Thank you? I probably need it cut though."
Rachel blushed and Jean walked over, "What's up Ray? You okay?"
Rachel's eyes widened and she shook her head, "No…! I mean… yes… I mean…"
Jordan smiled calmly up at Jean from is spot on the floor, "Hi Jean. I just asked her if she knew how to cut hair."
Jean narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms, "Well she doesn't. So leave her alone."
Rachel glanced at Jordan, "Its fine Jean. He wasn't being rude."
Jean looked at her in surprise, "Oh. Okay. Tell me if you need me."
Jean walked away and Jordan snickered. Rachel blushed and looked at her feet, "Sorry. Jean can be kinda over-protective. Or a lot."
Jordan chuckled, "I wish my dad had cared about me even a little. I lived alone from age 7 on. I never really had a family, except my sister but she left when I did."
Rachel smiled shyly at him, "Now you do."
I know it took forever to upload so I apologize but I thought you should get to know the mysterious Jordan. The next chappie will be longer! I swear!
