Guys if I wasn't dedicated to this fanfic, I might not have written another chapter, I think I got two reviews, and I'll thank them for that(you know who you are, Im not writing names b/c I don't wanna mess it up) so unless I get more reviews for this chapter, there might not be another chapter.
Anyway on to the story
Disclaimer-X-Men Evolution does not belong to me, and Lucifer/Richard does
Chapter 10
A week went by, and everything went back to normal, well if normal is everyone being busy and the school football team beating on the Xaiver students, then yes everything was back to normal. As Scotts class was out to gym, on the track, Duncan Mathews and Scott were running neck and neck, neither getting any advantage on the other, that's when Duncan decided to play dirty, and rammed into the side of Scott, causing him to tumble and roll off the track with his glasses flying off his face. Elsewhere in the school, Richard was being attacked by other football jocks, he was pushed to the floor,
"Leave me alone"
The jocks pushed him, causing him to lose balance, trying to regain his balance, he unintentially caused his until now dormant wings to emerge from his back.
"Dude this guys a MUTANT"
"MUTANT SCUM"
"FREAK"
"MONSTER"
"Leave me alone, or you'll regret it!" Richard growled menacingly
"VAMPIRE"
"DEMON"
"DEVIL"
"EL DIABLO"
The jocks started punching him wildly hitting his already sore body.
"YOUR ASKING FOR IT" Richard growled. His eyes burning red
"you can't do anything you mutant" one of the jocks called out
Richard grabbed one of the jocks and lifted him off of the ground with one hand, then over his head, causing everyone to gasp. He then threw the jock at the lockers leaving a sizable dent, and a groaning jock.
Pushing threw the crowd, Richard growled causing people to move away in fear, his books now forgotten he ran and lifted off into air.
"Le'me through, outta the way" Rogue pushed her way to the front of the crowd, to see the jock lying on the ground groaning.
"hey you know what happened here?" Rogue asked one of the guys standing next to her.
"that guy Richard is a Mutant, he attacked that guy and flew off."
"what do you mean flew off?"
"I mean he had wings and literally flew off"
Knowing the only place Richard would have gone would be the Mansion, she rushed off silently thanking Logan for the morning running sessions.
Rogue rushed back to the Mansion pushing the glass door open and rushed up the stairs towards Richard's room.
"Rogue what are you doing back so early?" Rogue whirled around and saw the Professor in his wheelchair.
"Professor we kinda have a problem, you remember how Richard's wings have been dormant, well not anymore"
"I'm not sure I understand Rogue, his gaining control over his powers is a good thing"
"normally it would be, but this happened while the dumb jerks at school were picking on him" A look of knowing appeared on the Professor's face.
"I don't suppose that with cerebros help you could erase that part of their memories of or something?"
As the Professor wheeled off to fix the problem, Rogue continued on her way to find Richard.
As Rogue was talking to the Professor, Richard was lying on his bed trying to make sense of what happened less then an hour ago. He was revealed, no one would look at him the same again, they all thought that he was a monster, a freak. He couldn't possibly show his face there again. As he sat trying to figure out what he should do next, the door opened and Rogue stepped in and sat down on the side of the bed.
"hey Rich"
"hey Rogue"
"are you alright?"
"as best as to be expected"
"c'mon Rich, we gotta get you out of the Mansion"
"I'm don't feel like it right now"
"c'mon Rich" Rogue grabbed his hands and pulled, Richard barely moved.
"don't make me take off my gloves"
"alright, alright I'm comin"
"rich?"
"ya rogue"
"do you think you can ya'know absorb your wings back in?"
"I think so"
About 10 minutes later, Richard had full control of his wings. Rogue grabbed his arm and dragged him out of his room, and down the stairs towards the garage.
"hey Stripes, where you dragging Claws here off to?" Logan asked
"I'm dragging him to the mall, I gotta get him out of the Manson" Rogue answered
"poor kid" Logan muttered quietly as he walked away.
Rogue and Richard got into one of the many cars the Professor owns, and drove off.
"Claws?" Richard asked
"when Logan accepts you, or somehow feels a fatherly connection towards you, he chooses a nickname, that he will call you by. I've been stripes since the say i got here."
At the mall Rogue led Richard into various stores, first she dragged him into a clothing store, where she forced him to choose various items, he got 5 new t-shirts, button down shirts and jeans. She wanted him to get a coat, but he insisted that his brothers coat was warm enough. Next Rogue dragged him into a music/movies/game store. They walked around sampling the various albums, genres and games, trying to decide what he should get. For music he got a Nickleback CD: All the Right Reasons, and Dark Horse. For games he bought a Nintendo Gamecube, with 3 games: Supersmash Bros Melee, Mario Double Dash, and James Bond Nightfire, as well as two wireless controllers, and movie wise the two movies that caught his eye were from the Underworld Series, Underworld, and Underworld Evolution.
As they brought everything back to the car, Richard was glad that he had abnormal strength.
Getting out of the car, the two walked up the flight of stairs between the garage and the main room. For a Mansion full of Mutants it was abnormally quiet. They walked into the room and turned on the lights.
SURPRISE HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Richard jumped
"Happy Birthday Rich" Rogue said as she gave him a hug. Jean pushed Richard into the dinning room
"How did you guys know that its my birthday? i havn't told anyone"
"I'm a telepath remember, you were broadcasting"
"o, that makes sense"
Everyone sat down around the table where they served themselves, pizza, cake and ice cream. Then they pushed him back into the main room.
"Time for presents!"
"Here Richard open mine first" Rogue said as she handed him a package.
When Richard started opening it slowly taking care not to rip the paper, Logan growled
"c'mon kid we don't got all day", Richard ripped off the paper, revealing the first two seasons of Supernatural on DVD
"how did you know i like Supernatural?" Richard asked Rogue
"my room is like right next to yours, i could hear you watching it"
the professor gave him a flat screen tv, already hooked up in his room, and Scott and Jean split the DVD player.
"here Claws open mine" Logan said as he tossed the package to Richard, who caught it, and fell like a ton of bricks. Inside were various weights that he could put around his arms and legs, to strengthen them.
"I figured that you would want to be on the team, so you better shape up!"
"if i remember correctly it was i who tossed you into the front gates, when i first got here."
Logan smiled "touche"
Hank passed him a small package that was so clearly a book, Dracula.
"thanks Hank, i bet i'll get a few laughs out of this."
Ring.....Ring.....Ring....
"Kitty your phone is ringing"
"hello... o hi lance..... sure i'll go with you to the movies....."
"Thanks everyone for presents" Richard said
Richard collected his presents to bring up to his room, when Kitty came back into the room, saying "bye everyone I'm off to see Lance"
Rogue noticed how Richards bright smile faded from his face at the decleration.
"C'mon Rich, lets go test out your new tv" Rogue said as she steered him up the stairs and into his room. i'll talk to him about kitty later. she pushed him onto his bed, and asked him what movie he wanted to see, he simply shrugged. "how bout Underworld, i havn't seen that one yet."
"What ever you want Rogue"
Rogue put the dvd into the player, hit play and jumped onto the bed next to Richard.
The movie was awsome. during the credits both Richard and Rogue drifted off to sleep. That night as Logan walked up the stairs from the danger room, he thought he would check on Richard, and see if hes ok, he seemed pretty upset when halfpint left to go see Lance. Logan opened the door, to see his two "kids" sleeping on the bed. Logan walked into the room, turned off the dvd player and tv set, and lifted Rogue off the bed into his arms, and carried her to her room.
