Speacial Thanks to my Reviewers. Sorry, but I can't do accents. Enjoy, read, and review. And p.s., I know that the episode I'm writing about in this chapter is later in the season, but I though the situation called for it.

Mutant Evolution: Rebooted

Chapter 11

-Xavier Institute-

It had been a couple of days since Pyro had been brought to the mansion. The Professor had indeed confirmed that Magneto was recruiting a new team, but that was as far as John knew, so he was sent to the lower levels to be contained. He was put in a fire-proof cell just in case he tried anything with his power, but nobody expected he would, considering the fact that he needed a flame near him to use his power.

The sun was just starting to rise overhead as the residents of the Xavier Institute were in the Danger Room, suited up and ready. Today, everyone was doing individual training simulations to deactivate a defense system. The Brotherhood had been placed in with the New Mutants until they met the requirements for an X-man, but they mostly kept to themselves except for team sessions. And they had opted to keep their original uniforms, to which the Professor agreed to, but Scott, Kurt, and Evan kept directing glares every time a member passed them.

Pietro had just finished his session with relative ease and was zipping around the defense system he had deactivated, shouting cocky and arrogant remarks at the deactivated saws and lasers that were targeted at him.

"Hey, Speed Bump, gloat on your own time, not mine." Logan called gruffly from the control room.

Pietro mumbled something under his breath and super sped to the control room. "Alright, kid, you're up." Logan said to Matthew as the raven haired boy made his way down to the Danger Room. Matthew had only been in here once but, this was be the first time that he'd actually been in here by himself. The other time he was with the New Mutants for a simple drill where you had to blast robots. Matthew let out a deep breath as he saw Logan press the button that started the simulation.

Lasers, and about a couple dozen simulation humanoid robots with saws for hands activated, and he quickly directed a small sound blast towards the humanoids, who didn't even budge from the impact. Matthew narrowly dodged a laser blast that was directed at him, but not before a fraction the blast cut into his uniform, slightly singeing the skin of his shoulder, He winced, but didn't cry out.

Matthew carefully dodged laser blasts and sent a high frequency blast at the lasers, deactivating them, as the humanoids inched closer to him. With a sigh, he took a deep breath and unleashed his sonic scream in its weakest state. The humanoids repelled back at the impact, but kept on charging, so Matthew stopped his scream and created a disc like force field in his hand and threw it at the first humanoid. It sliced its head clean off, and the robot crumbled up on the floor, deactivated.

He smiled to himself at this discovery, and kept producing discs at the robots, who soon were all deactivated on the cold metal floor of the Danger Room.

"What was that?" Logan asked once Matthew was back in the control room with everybody else.

"What was what?" Matthew asked back, not understanding what Logan was referring to.

"You were holding back. You hesitated."

"What do you mean?" Matthew replied carefully.

Logan growled, "Don't play dumb with me, kid. I saw you, there's no way you're that weak."

Matthew didn't budge, "Of course, I'm weak, I just got my powers about a week ago."

Logan could hear the boy's heart, but he didn't hear it speed up to indicate that Matthew was lying, nor did he notice that Matthew was messing with his hearing to fool him into thinking he wasn't lying. So, with a growl, he decided to drop it…for now.

"You're up, Ice Cube." Wolverine said to Bobby, who looked like he was ready to drop down and pass out from exhaustion, just like the rest of the New Mutants, except for the Brotherhood and Matthew.

"Alvers!" Scott shouted at Lance, who was walking towards the garage to retrieve his jeep, so he could drive Blob and Toad to school. He would've driven Pietro, but the silver haired speedster was already long gone to who knows where.

"What, Summers!" Lance called back at him, but smirked seeing that his car was banged up an caked with dirt and mud.

Scott just glared at him, "Nice ride." Lance mocked, driving his jeep away so he could pick up Todd and Fred in the front of the mansion.

Kitty checked her reflection in the mirror as she put on her wild berry grape lip gloss, puckering her lips against each other for her lips to look just right.

"What do you think?" she asked Jean, who was helping her with her outfit for her date with Matthew tonight, because Rogue refused to, stating and quote, 'It wasn't her thing'.

"You look great!" Jean exclaimed.

"Really? It's not like, too dressy or looks like I don't care?" she asked worriedly. Kitty was dressed in a jean mini skirt, a pink t-shirt with frills on the sleeves, and a pair of pink flats.

"It's perfect." Jean replied firmly.

On the other side of the mansion, Matthew was having a similar problem, but he didn't enlist any help for himself. There was no sense in making himself seem like a dork by asking someone what he should wear. He could do this by himself.

"She's just a girl." he thought to himself.

A half an hour later, Matthew had settled on light green dress shirt with the sleeves pushed up to his elbow, a pair of black jeans that were baggy near the feet, and a pair a sneakers.

He came up towards Kitty and Rogue's shared room and knocked on the door, "Just a second!" he heard Kitty's voice call from the other side of the door. The wooden door creaked open to reveal a pink and jean clad Kitty.

"You look great." Matthew said, a pleasant smile on his face.

"You do, too." Kitty replied, a light flush appearing on her skin from his compliment.

The two teens were making their way down the steps outside the Institute, when Kitty thought of something, "How are we going to get to the restaurant and movie? We're both fifteen, we can't drive."

"Got it covered." Matthew said as a silver BMW pulled up in front of the Institute. They both inched closer to see Tommy behind the wheel, a sour look on his face. Kitty and Matthew both got into the car and Tommy drove them to a small family owned restaurant that was barely populated.

"You two hours, if you're not already out of here by 8, I'm leaving you to walk to the movie theater." Tommy said before he drove off.

"What's with him?" Kitty asked as a waitress seated them into a booth, handed them menus and asked them what drink they wanted.

"Um, Sprite please." Matthew ordered.

"I'll take the same." Kitty said.

"What were we talking about again, oh right, Tommy. He's still mad about the joke you made at him on Tuesday. I swear, that guy holds a grudge like death."

"If he's so mad, then why'd he like, drive us here?" Kitty inquired.

"I…persuaded him to."

"You mean blackmailed." she stated flatly.

"You call it blackmail, I call it getting a favor." he said slyly. Kitty lightly chuckled as she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. She had a feeling that this was going to be a good night. A couple of hours later, the two teens had finished their meal, which Matthew had insisted that he pay for, and hopped into Tommy's car, heading towards the Bayville Cineplex to watch the new Harry Potter movie.

They didn't buy any popcorn for having just ate dinner, but they did purchase a couple of small drinks. The movie started after about a dozen commercials had run on the big screen. Sometime during the movie, Matthew had snaked his arm around Kitty, who was contently leaning into his embrace.

"So, great movie, huh?" Matthew said as the two walked up the isle of the theater leading to the snack bar.

"It was okay."

"You're lying." he stated simply.

"And you're impossible." she said slipping out of his arm.

Matthew shot her a mock glare, "You offend me, Ms. Pryde. But, seriously, what didn't you like about the movie?"

"Well I like, read the books and everything, but I kinda wanted Hermione to end up Draco."

"Ah, you're one of them, huh." he said playfully.

"I guess I'm like, one of them, whatever that means."

Once they outside, the two spied a note where Tommy and his car was supposed to be.

'You took too long, I got hungry. I'm not coming back to get you.

-Tommy'

"Well, it looks like we're walking home." Matthew said as he threw the note down onto the cement where he found it.

"Are gonna carry me like last time?" Kitty lightly flirted, putting his arm around her.

"Only if you want me to." he replied, using the same tone of voice Kitty was using.

"Maybe later." Kitty said as the two headed towards the Institute. By the time they saw the cliff the Institute was built on, it was about eleven thirty, so everyone was mostly sleeping. "I had a really nice time tonight." Kitty said, looking into his blue orbs.

Matthew smiled, "Me too." he said, staring into her eyes as well. He leaned in, slowly capturing her lips in a sweet, gentle kiss. After a couple of seconds, the two broke apart, smiles plastered on their faces.

"Matt, Matthew, wake up." a voice called from above his bed. Matthew groggily rolled over to face the culprit that woke him up. He squinted as his eyes came in contact with harsh light of his room.

"What?" he asked sleepily. The clock on his nightstand read 12:16, meaning he'd only been asleep for about an hour before Bobby and the rest of the New Mutants barged into his room.

"We're going on a joyride in the X-van, wanna come?" Bobby tempted, wiggling the keys in front of Matthew's face.

"No, I'd rather not die by having a bunch of fourteen year olds driving a death van into the lake." he said before putting his pillow over his head and falling back onto his bed.

"His loss." Ray said as the rest of the New Mutants headed out of Matthew's room.

"Maybe the Brotherhood will want to go with us." Jubilee suggested.

"Nah," Bobby checked his watch. "We spent too much time waking Matt up. Maybe tomorrow, though."

A couple hours after the New Mutants left, a figure weaved its way through the foyer of the mansion. The figure's hair gleamed silver in the darkness, as it pressed the button for the elevator for the lower levels to come up. The elevator made a small ding as it opened for the slim figure.

Pyro was sleeping in his cell when he heard pounding on the glass of the cell. He didn't open his eyes, but yelled out, "Hey, I'm trying to sleep here!" his broken Australian accent showing. The figure quickly shushed him as he rapidly pressed buttons to try and get the cell to open.

John cracked his eyes open as his cell door opened. He looked at his rescuer, "Hey, thanks, mate." he laughed wickedly.

"No problem." the figure replied before quickly punching Pyro in the head, slumping him over his shoulders, and carrying him out of the cell room.

So, who do you guys think the figure is? Hope you Enjoyed. Please Review.
