Woooah it's been a long time since I updated this huh? It wasn't that I lost interest; it was more I was working on other fics and just had to put this one on hold. Actually I had this chapter written and ready to be posted I just kept forgetting to post it.

But yes it is updated, hope this chapter is good, reviews thanks at the end and some quick notes!

Enjoy!

"Sebastian"


Dan didn't remember falling asleep, the last thing he remembered was the capsule closing and filling with a gas. At first the gas had smelt sweet and made him a little dizzy and that was the last thing he remembered everything else was blank. But now for some reason he was standing in the pits of a racetrack, racing around the track where beautiful motorcycles, all around him he heard the bikes being worked on as the crews checked them as they came in and where sent out.

He was so close to track itself that he could feel the breeze as the racers whizzed past. He had a headset on and was able to hear the racers, speaking to their pit crews, not just in English but also in Italian. The roar of the bikes was so loud Dan could barely hear the screams of the crowd. A shadow came over him and when Dan looked up into the skies he could see the film choppers filming the exciting race.

The sunlight was so bright that Dan could barley see he had too put his hand up too his eyes too block out the light, he hand touched his face, his glasses where gone and yet he wasn't blasting anyone. His optic blasts where gone, Dan was so happy he cheered with the rest of the fans.

As the bikes went into the final few laps, the speedway erupted with cheers. Somewhere in the stands someone began screaming, screaming so loud that it blocked out everything. The roar of the bikes, the crowd cheering, and the noise from the choppers hovering a few hundred feet above, the racers where rounding the last corner, it was going to be close. They where almost there, the flag was up, Dan could feel his heart racing with excitement, a pair of hands where on his shoulders,

"Your dad's in the lead Leo, he's gonna win!" Dan jumped happily as a beautiful green, black, and silver bike zoomed across the finish line. The hands on his shoulder began shaking him with excitement. "He did it! He won Leo, Leo? Leo?"

"Hey Leo…wake up please come on you gotta wake up," that voice, it sounded so familiar, it sounded like him, but who else sounded like him who was it and why was he telling him to wake up he was awake…wasn't he? Dan closed his eyes and slowly opened them.

He was no longer in the pits of a racetrack he was in a basement, at least that's what it looked like, his eyes began to focus on the person above him, shaking his shoulders. Everything slammed back into his memory, the playground, Magneto, and…Sebastian.

"Sebastian?" Sebastian sighed with relief and grinned a little

"You ok?" Dan took a deep breath and sat up

"Yeah…where are we?"

"Home sweet home," Sebastian said sarcastically

"But where?"

"Literally the middle of no where, Mr. Leshser's mansion, northern Vermont."

"How long have I been out?"

"Couple of hours, Mr. Lensher sent me to check on you,"

"Mr. Lensher?"

"Yeah, you called him Magneto?"

"That's what he's called," Dan stood up slowly and lost his balance for a brief moment, he grabbed the closest wall and regained his balance slowly. Sebastian looked at him worriedly "I'm good, my heads just spinning."

"It's the gas don't worry its only temporary," Dan nodded

"That's good to hear, I was worried it was permanent," he said and looked around the basement some more. There was one window boarded up, Dan chewed on his thumb for a second, he walked over to the window, unfortunately he was too short to reach it.

"What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" he said looking at his brother like he couldn't believe he was even wondering what he was doing, "I'm gettin' outta here,"

"Why?" Now it was Sebastian's turn to look confused

"Wh…Why! What do you mean why?"

"Mr. Lensher's not a bad guy he's been like a dad to me; he took me in when no one wanted me."

"No one wanted you?" Dan said loudly turning away from the window and staring at Sebastian "how can you say that? Do you remember our parents at all huh?" Sebastian looked down at his feet refusing to look at Dan. "Do you?"

"No, I don't, and I don't care" he paused, frowned and looked up at Dan angrily "if they had wanted me then how come I'm not with them huh? Where are they now?"

"You were kidnapped when we were three! Kidnapped, our parents loved us," Sebastian opened his mouth to say something but then promptly shut it. He slunk to the floor and leaned against a wall,

"Kidnapped?" he said softly, Dan looked at the window once again and walked over to Sebastian, he took a deep breath and sat down next to his brother.

"Yea, when we were 3, I guess we were playing in the front yard while mom worked in her garden, she looked away for a minute and when she looked up you were gone, just gone."

"How come he didn't take you too?" Dan chewed his bottom lip,

"Dunno, I don't remember." Sebastian nodded

"Its ok, I mean like you said we where only 3," Dan took a deep breath, debating whether or not to tell Sebastian the truth, "so where are our parents now?" now he looked at his feet ashamed of the answer "Leo?"

"I don't remember,"

"What do you mean you don't remember?"

"Exactly like I said I don't remember!" he said loudly standing up and walking away, "after you disappeared, our parents searched for you for 3 years, but it was killing mom slowly living in that same house, we packed up and left."

"Left where?"

"Italy, we were born in a little town just outside of Rome, anyways our parents and me…we moved to New Hampshire," Dan grinned and looked at Sebastian "know what dad was?" Sebastian shook his head "he was a famous cyclest. He raced motorcycles and was a champion in Italy, when we moved to the states he…he began making a name for himself big time. The famous Antonio Collentropo," Sebastian grinned listening to Dan "we left New Hampshire and moved to Wales,"

"How come?" Dan looked away for a second and ran his hand over his hair "'Cause of me, my powers were starting to develop." He paused "see dad

was a mutant too, he went to school in Bayville, where I am now, he was an X-man, Professor Xavier taught him to control his powers and use them to help people, Xavier offered mom and dad the same training for me."

"Dad's a mutant?" Sebastian exclaimed "what's his power?"

"'Cording to Xavier, he could call things to him, ya know hold out his hand and say like book and bang a book would appear in his hand."

"Cool," Dan nodded

"Yeah way," he paused and looked at Sebastian "hey Sebastian?"

"Yeah?"

"What are your powers?" Sebastian grinned "What?" his grin widened

"Lemme ask you somthin' what's you're favorite animal?" Dan thought about this for a second, he didn't really have a favorite,

"I dunno, a dog I guess," Seb nodded and grinned, he stood up, suddenly there was a pop noise and in place of Sebastian was the black dog that had bitten Magneto. Dan's mouth dropped open in shock, he walked over to Sebastian and stared at him "you can turn into a dog!" Sebastian nodded there was another pop and in place of the dog was a cat, "you can morph into any animal…wooow…" Dan finally said breathless. "That's so cool," there was another pop and Sebastian returned to human form. "lot better then what I've got trust me."

"There's more, but I really don't wanna demonstrate one of 'em."

"How come?"

"Lets just say if I hadn't learned to control it, everyone around me would be taking a nice long nap." Dan understood at least a little bit. "Hey Leo," Sebastian said softly.

"Yeah,"

"I'm sorry,"

"For what?"

"For earlier, for attacking you, Mr. Lensher he convinced me you wouldn't go with us willingly and I don't know, I couldn't help myself I could see what was happening and feel it, but I couldn't-"

"You couldn't stop it, I understand, believe me, I can relate,"

"Do you forgive me?"

"'Course I do, Sebastian,"

"Call me Seb,"

"Seb?"

"Yeah, that's what I've been callin' myself,"

"Yeah I guess Sebastian does take a while to say," he said with a grin "so way up here where's your school? Betcha you gotta really get up early to get to school on time." Seb looked at Dan curiously "what?"

"I don't go to school," he said "I've been home schooled, why? You go to school?"

"Yeah,"

"They don't mind a mutant in their schools?"

"Actually no one knows what we are, everything's kept secrete. Some of my friends have to hide their appearance so they can go. Like my best friend Kurt, he has to wear this image inducer because he's got blue fur and a tail." Seb's mouth dropped open in shock.

"Wow…the way Mr. Lensher talks it's like everyone knows who we are and is out to get us."

"Yeah well he's got his thoughts a little screwy." Seb looked ready to give his two cents about that, but instead just said

"What grade?"

"huh?

"What grade are you in?" he repeated

"10th,"

"That's high school right?"

"Yeah,"

"How'd you get into high school, we're only 12,"

"Technically it's 'cause of my powers,"

"What are your powers?" Seb asked, "I mean I remember Mr. Lensher warning me to be wary if you opened your eyes with no glasses on."

"Yeah that's one of 'em, it's called optic blasts, I can shoot laser beams from my eyes,"

"In a creepy sort of way, that's kind of cool,"

"I suppose, it has its usefulness, but it ain't exactly my power of choice."

"So what are your others?"

"Let's see 'sides the optic blasts, I'm telepathic, telekinetic, and I've got this computer power,"

"Computers?" Seb asked curious

"Yeah, well basically anything with a computer memory chip, basically I can scan any kind of computers information you know knowledge and stuff into my mind destroying and rehabilitate them are apart of the package too. That's why I'm in high school, I think Professor Xavier was worried I would be bored in middle school with those my own age, I think he was also afraid I would drive the teacher nutsie or get in trouble correcting them." He finished, laughing a bit, Seb also started laughing. Dan suddenly stopped laughing, as he realized that he was in a basement, in Vermont, being held by…. "what the heck am I doin' I'm stuck in the basement of a psychopath who wants to rule humanity and use us to do it!" He hopped up and ran over to the window,

"Leo,"

"I'm getting out of here," he hopped up and down a little bit but was too short to reach the bars frowning with determination he put his hands up and tried moving the bars telekinetically, after a few failed attempts, he fell to his knees in exhaustion.

"Leo,"

"You don't understand! I am not going to stay here and become a weapon to achieve dominance or anything I am not going to be used as a weapon I refuse." He said kneeling on the he floor panting. "I would rather die a thousand times then be used as a tool." He slowly began to stand "I wont let it happen out of everything I am afraid of that is the biggest, I'm gonna escape, he can't keep me here." He stood up and looked up at the window "you wanna see optic blasts in power fine!" He lifted his glasses and opened his eyes, the beam shot from his eyes at the bars the force sent him flying back into the cement wall. He slammed into it and slid down it as if in slow motion, his glasses clattered to the floor.

"Leo!" Seb shouted and ran over to his brother "Leo?"

"Owie… that hurt," Dan said softly

"The bars are reinforced with adamantium, and you just slammed into a solid concrete wall insulated by adamantium,"

"Thanks for the warning,"

"I did try," Seb said "I think these belong to you," Seb took Dan's hand and held it out, and put Dan's glasses on his palm.

"Thanks," Dan muttered slipping them on. Seb was about to reply when a clapping filled the room

"Bravo, bravo, that was a very nicely executed attempt Leonardo." Dan quickly looked over, it was Magneto. "I am very pleased to see you tried the less destructive attempt first." Quickly Dan stood up his fists clenched tight

"You wanna see destructive!" he unclenched his fists and reached for his glasses preparing to take them off to fire, when suddenly they flew off his face and he almost didn't shut his eyes in time, the shock of his glasses leaving his face, temporally made Dan forget that he was going to take them off anyways, making his main concern to get them back. "Give them back! GIVE 'EM BACK NOW!"

"I believe that I should hold onto these for now, at least until you settle down"

"Which aint happening! I want to go home you cant keep us here,"

"Home? Where would that be son? In Bayville perhaps with whom may I ask? The Brotherhood or Charles's X-men, even your remarkable intelligence is having trouble comprehending your true place?" Dan frowned knowing he was right. "And as far as your brother is concerned this is home, isn't that correct Sebastian?"

"I don't know, Leo was sayi-"

"Saying that you were kidnapped?" Dan wasn't sure what Seb was doing, but he had a feeling that his brother was nodding. "Now really Sebastian I have told you plently of times the circumstances of your coming to live with me,"

"Seb don't listen to him, come on he's been lying to you this whole time!"

"Sebastian I believe it is time for your studies am I correct?"

"Yeah, I guess it is,"

"Seb!"

"Sorry Leo, you'll come to your senses you just need to have some time to relax and stuff." Dan felt like he had been kicked in the gut, him and Seb had been connecting, what had changed why had he turned against him again?

"Seb…" he heard someone going upstairs and the door shutting.

"I had hoped that I wouldn't have to come to this Leonardo, I was hoping you would realize I am correct without help. But I see that is not the case," Dan heard Magneto heading up the steps, before he paused "and please do not try to use your obtic blasts, as Sebastian already told you the walls are reinforced with adamentium, impenetrable as you know. I would not like you to hurt yourself for a lost cause." And with that he heard the door slam shut and lock.

Blindly, Dan crawled to the wall and leaned against it, everything felt so helpless now and he couldn't stand it he felt his anger and helplessness escalate and he turned and punched the wall, forgetting momentarily that it was concrete.

"OW!" He yelped and cradled his hand against his chest "aw man that hurt…" with his other hand he gently felt his fingers, feeling to see if any were broken, he winced and almost yelled out as he felt the bones in his knuckle shift painfully, one knuckle felt cracked and his wrist hurt as well. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tight concentrating trying desperately to contact Jean or Professor X, 'Professor, Jean, somebody…why cant you guys hear me, please come don't leave me here...I need you guys now more then ever.'


Ooo? So was it worth the wait? Ok yeah I know that was no where near worth a what almost a two year wait?

I'm sorry I really am, anyways I have some review thanks to hand out!

Supernatural Chick: hey thanks for checking out my other fics as well as the highlander one. Glad you like this, before II finally was able to write Immortal Child, this was one of my favorites to work on. Hope you enjoy the update and once again thank you for your reviews, I really appreciate them!

Dan: Though I can run the mile I was never fast, as my friends and I always comment I've got short stubby legs and therefore speed no length yes. I was guessing how long it would take someone like Scott to run the mile, sorry I screwed that up, like I said it was complete guessing.

So those where the two Thanks you guys for your reviews next update sooner I promise. So till then!

Keep the reviews and constructive criticism coming and remember flames will be blasted off the face of the planet by two sets of optic blasts! Lol

bows
