Summary: When an EXTREMELY powerful mutant is sent to the Xavier Institute, things get shaken up. Segregation, flirtation, frustration, and a heckuvalot more "-ations" prevail in this humorous tale of a young mutant boy...

Last chapter…but then there's Animation.

Apologies for the shortness…I wanted to make a sorta—cliffhanger.


Chapter 9: Out of Time


When Jason woke up, he was in the infirmary. The white, bland walls were glaringly bright and the open window shone sunlight into his eyes. He felt a bandage around his chest and his arm was throbbing. Strange. Normally his powers sped up the healing process.

"Better take care of that," he mumbled to himself. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Nothing happened. His still felt like it was going through a blender. He clenched his teeth and tried again, but to no effect. His powers…weren't working!

"PROFESSOR!" Jason yelled in a panic. Hank ran into the room.

"Ah, Jason. You're awake," Hank said grimly.

"Why won't my powers work?" Jason asked. Professor X appeared in the doorway.

"I'm afraid I do not know, Jason. The best explanation is that you someone…used up all your energy."

"Is that even possible?" Jason asked in disbelief.

"Well…the closest thing I've ever seen is when Scott and Alex reverted back to normal after destroying Asteroid M," Hank put in.

"So…you mean…"

"Yes, Jason," Professor X said gravely. "I'm afraid you're…human."
