Hello. Have I mentioned how much I love my reviewers? I know I don't get a lot of reviews, but I have faithful fans. And that's what really counts.

Here is another chapter in honor of this story getting into a c2 for the "Best Original Characters for X-Men: The Movie" I was so proud! I have to credit all my good reviewers and fans. You all get a very large tub of cheesy popcorn, or caremel, whatever you prefer.

Ethics Class

The next day the three competitors met on the front lawn for the demonstration. The two official X-Men were dressed in full costume, and Eternity was again wearing jeans and a brown, knit tank top. She had her hair in a messy bun at the back of her head and her glasses were prominently perched upon her nose.

"Now," Professor turned to his students. "I want you to note closely, the powers displayed by the girl. See if you can figure out all of them."

"Sir?" One of the girls in the back questioned.

"She is a third-generation mutant. She has all the powers of her parents and her grandparents, plus a mutation that is all her own." He explained. "None of the three before you can be hurt too badly, so get comfortable. We may be here a while."

"Excuse me Professor." A young gentleman, about Eternity's age, raised his hand in the all-known gesture of questioning. "What exactly are we watching for here?"

The Professor looked every student in the eyes, seemingly at the same time. "You are looking for many things. I want you to look for similarities in fighting styles, weaknesses, exploitations of those weaknesses. I also want you to look for learning. I want you to watch and see who learns fastest from their mistakes." He looked at Rogue, who was standing near the edge of the group. His mind went out to her and she heard a voice speaking to her mind.

I want you to watch her, look for mercy, courtesy, and gentleness.

"Begin." He spoke into a radio system that could be heard all over the lawn.

All three of the mutants looked at each other and smiled cordially. Eternity quickly used the air molecules around her to raise herself up above the others. Colossus applied his armor and Logan extended his claws.

"Come on girly, why you runnin?" He called up to her. She turned invisible and teleported behind him. He heard her extend her claws and he whipped around and stabbed at the air. She was soon visible again, with Logan's claws stuck in her arm.

There was an audible gasp from the students on the balcony above. They watched in horror as Logan removed his claws from her body. One student soon realized that it was intentional.

"Look! Look at her arm!" He yelled and pointed. Her arm was healing fast and clean, and she had both sets of claws extended.

"Ya know, it's not nice to stab a girl right after meeting her." She called back at him. Colossus charged her, and she surrounded him with earth that she formed into an almost brick-like substance.

"Good. I like one on one better than gang fights." Logan called back at her. She came towards him, and morphed into a tiger. She jumped on top of him and pinned him to the ground.

Colossus broke free of his earth prison and made his way over to the other two. Eternity morphed back to herself and floated towards him, suddenly his armor began to melt away from his body.

"His powers, she canceled them out!" One student yelled from the balcony.

"Did she? Or did she just use her power against his?" The Professor proposed to the students.

"Isn't that the same thing?" A small blonde girl in the front questioned.

"No, because her power cannot cancel his. Look." He pointed back at the lawn, where Colossus was regenerating more armor. "She can only temporarily remove his armor, by using her own powers." He looked at the class. "Can any of you tell me what her powers are?"

"She can morph into animals."

"She can go invisible."

"She can fly."

"She can melt things."

"She can move the earth."

"She has claws."

"She can heal." The students rattled off one by one. The professor grinned.

"No, she can only do some of these things. Others are only a side affect of a greater power." He looked at the three who were still fighting and asked "Can any of you guess what that is?"

"She can manipulate the molecules in her environment to change the position and density of anything around her." Rogue spoke from the back of the crowd. She had never been dumb, and as the others spoke, she chose to deduce what the girl's powers really were.

"Good." The professor said aloud. "Now tell me, if she can reform the molecular density in anything around her, why doesn't she just melt her opponents into puddles of flesh?"

Rogue thought about this. She assumed that this girl had the same moralities that any other mutant at the school had. She wondered why she had never thought of this before. If humanity weren't subject to moral givens, then what was to keep this girl from killing everyone she meets?

"Professor?" She began hesitantly.

"Yes Rogue." He smiled, he had known she would be the first to understand.

"She is subject to the same moralities that I am." Rogue continued. "She knows it is wrong to use her powers that way."

"But who taught her?" The Professor questioned her to keep her going.

"Her parents? Maybe a teacher?" Kitty Pryde, a small brunette teenager who could walk through solid objects, suggested.

"But she has no parents. She was raised by a family friend."

"Well then that person taught her the difference between right and wrong." Bobby Drake spoke up.

"But what if that person hadn't?" The Professor smiled again. He had shown the class what he needed too. "It takes other people to learn things. You cannot learn moral lessons from textbooks. You must experience things and have others explain them to you. The world would be nothing if people didn't interact, and without a higher power, humanity would proceed to kill each other."

He now switched to telepathic speaking. He wanted to show Eternity something. He spoke quickly to Logan. Logan,

Yes?

I want you to remove her glasses and look into her eyes.

Whatever you say boss Logan gave a mock salute to the man on the balcony above him and made his way to Eternity.

"Whacha want?" She spoke as several cuts on her face healed from the last time he had come at her. "More bruises?"

"No, I just want these!" And with that he reached a hand to her face and removed her glasses and looked at her.

Eternity was completely frozen still. She watched this man's past flash before her eyes. She saw the notebooks she kept with her all the time being written, she saw a surgery that resembled her own. She saw a dogtag with the word "Wolverine" written on it. She saw him walking towards a woman with bright red hair, and almost dying as he approached her. What struck her most of all was that she saw herself, holding him and calling him Dad.

He looked away after a few seconds, but that was all it took. She fell to her knees and cried. She had found the man she had been searching for. She had found her father.
