Clark Kent is very excited to go to the institute for only gifted people.
Even though they are all mutants and he is alien still he wants to experience the joy of using his powers freely without afraid to expose himself.
And he has his best friend with him to give company even though they sort of dating. Their school year is ended and they are in holidays.
They learned some people are actually staying in institute in holidays so Clark and Chloe decided this will be like holiday trip in institute and they thought they can learn many things before school tensions start.
They informed professor and he is very happy to accommodate the two gifted children. Chloe 's father didn't come with them because he thought this secret is too big to handle and he asked professor to wipe his memory off from his mind. Professor know Gabriel who is Chloe father is not telling actual reason. He is afraid Lionel Luther gonna know about his daughter if he slipped without knowing and he knows Lionel Luther so he don't want to know his daughter is mutant. Chloe regrets his father wants to not remember her as mutant but she understood.
According to her father she is going to new school. Now Kents are accompanying the children. It is five hour journey from Smallville to Bayville. They started in morning with their lunch is packed. In city outskirts Clark took the wheels other times Jonathan did the driving.
They reached the institute. Clark never guessed the the school, professor talked about , be like this. The building is looking like big mansion like he knows Luther mansion.
But this mansion has almost 15 feet beautiful red concrete wall surrounded , above that he can see electric fencing which is 5 feet.
That is lot of security Clark thought. He saw a two square feet black marble name plate which is telling
" Xaviour school for gifted " . Letters are beautifully written and shiny. Jonathan stopped the truck then Clark got down from it.
He reached the gate where is a button with a small monitor screen beside it. Clark pressed the button then the screen is activated showing Xaviour face.
" Hello Clark. Glad you make it. " Clark heard professor words.
" Thank you professor. My parents and Chloe are in truck. " Clark informed.
" Great. Come on in. " Clark saw professor pressed a button.
Next minute the big gate opened widely. Clark who is surprised by this type of technology got back on truck.
" This is so cool Clark. " Chloe told him.
Clark can tell she is definitely enjoying everything.
After they entered through gate, Clark saw a big ground and in middle there is a big beautiful mansion. He can see basket ball court with some children are playing. He recognised Jean and Scott.
Clark saw Jean has bowlful of balls and she is throwing randomly using her telekinetic power.
Scott has one hand on his red ruby coloured glasses, then there is a red crimson beam came from his eyes and shot those balls.
Then he saw African American boy and two attractive girls playing same thing. A little short girl is throwing balls while that African American boy and girl who has white hair stripe are throwing spikes which are coming from their bodies apparently to shot down those balls .
Then there is one boy who is sort of playing volleyball . He is disappearing and appearing both sides of net to hit the ball. Clark and others never saw this type of blatant display of powers.
They almost stopped the truck to see that amazing display of powers. Then one very beautiful African American woman who looks like she is in her thirties with silver coloured hair with very kind smile approached them.
" Hello. You must be Kents and you must be miss Sullivan . Don't mind the kids. We are waiting for you. i am Ororo Manrow. I am one of the instructor in school. " she greeted them.
Clark, Chloe and Martha got down from truck while Jonathan went to park the truck as per Ororo instructions. Jean and Scott saw the them then they stopped and came to meet them.
" That is wow. " Chloe said to them regarding Scott shooting skills.
" Thanks . We trained a lot. " Scott replied.
" So you stay here for holidays. Rougue and Scott is staying here too. " Jean show them Rougue who has white hair stripe.
Then others joined the conversation. Jean introduced them all. African American boy is Evan who also nephew of Ororo.
His mutation allowed him to grow bone spikes from his hands .
The other girl is Katherine peirce aka kitty who can phase through matter . The teleportation boy name is Kurt wagner. Rogue has absorption powers which she can't control .
Ms Munroe can control weather . After Jonathan joined, all went to professor room.
" I can see, you already met my students. Welcome Clark and Chloe. " Xaviour greeted them.
" Thank you professor. " both Chloe and Clark replied.
" I myself teach history and psychology and miss Monroe and Logan are gonna teach how to control your powers and train you to understand your powers. " Xaviour pointed Monroe and Logan.
" In this summer we are gonna get some more students so you don't need to think you are the only one new. Miss Sullivan, you share Jean's room and Clark you are with Kurt. " Xaviour told them.
Then he turned to Kents.
" Mr and Mrs Kent I want you to stay here today. We have guest room where you can stay. "
" Thank you professor. " they all replied.
Then all heard sudden bang like sound more like alarm .
All xmen are looking at each other. It is sound that some intruders entered the institute.
" Please stay here. " Xaviour asked the Kents and Chloe.
Then they rushed to the monitor area. There is some disturbance in institute grounds.
That is full of trees and not many people go there except for training or cleaning. Clark don't know why but he felt like someone is calling him.
He felt strange disturbance he can't explain or he never felt before.
" Mom, dad. i have to see what is happening. " Clark told them.
" I will come with you. " Chloe told him but Martha stopped her.
" Chloe, it may be dangerous. " Clark told her and superspeed to the place following the sounds.
He is the first one to reach the place where sounds are coming. He saw two people, one is teenage girl with flaming red hair wearing t shirt and jeans. She looked attractive and fear is evident in her face.
Other one is wearing green mask that covered her eyes and nose. She has also have red hair looked like she is in her early thirties.
She cluched her ring with determination. And they are running. Next moment entire ground shook with impact. Three biggest robot like things appeared in thin air.
They are 20 feet tall with strange metal. They look like they scanning then they locked the target.
Clark never thought he can be amazed because he saw many strange things but these things doesn't look like anything he ever seen. They are in three colours red,blue and green.
Even with that much height they are moving very normal. While Clark is watching, one robot fired a laser beam from its eyes, cutting the trees like it is paper then it hit the two intruders. Clark ran toward them within a instant but it is too late.
It hit them. But for his surprise it didn't done anything. Looks like they covered by some force field that generated by the ring wearing by masked woman. Clark sighed with relief.
Next thing he knows three robots are started attacking with their beams. The combined force is too much for ring and the masked woman know that ring is gonna give up.
" Clark, help us. " Clark heard the scream.
He is surprised is least of it. He is more than shocked that they know who he is. Without thinking of anything else he ran toward the robots with maximum speed he can get and bent his knees and jumped then hit the red one who is nearest one to the ladies.
The combined force of speed and strength of his worked. The red robot knocked back to many feet in doing it knocked remaining robots. The two ladies reached him and masked lady spoke to him.
" Thank god Clark, you are here as expected. Please save her. " She placed teenage girl hand in his.
" Stay with him Hope . He is the only one can save you. " She told the teenage girl whose name apparently Hope.
" But who are you? What is happening? " Hope asked her.
Clark also wanted ask same thing but the robots are coming towards them again. Clark moved to cover both the ladies . He observed the robot, not even a scratch even after he used his full force.
He needs to find its weak point. Now three robots started firing some type of energy beams from rifles that inbuilt in their hands.
Clark don't know what to do. If he moves , two ladies will die but those are stinging like hell. They are getting close. He turned so his back is getting all the effect of robot firing.
Then he lifted two ladies in his hands with his superspeed he quickly took them out of the ground to inside of mansion.
" Clark, They are gonna come here. They won't stop until we stop them. " the masked lady told him. Clark can hear alarm is getting stronger and he can hear the flying sounds.
" They are coming for Hope . " she pointed to Hope. Then entire xmen saw Clark with two women.
" Clark what's going on? " Professor asked him. Before Clark can form any words again masked woman spoke.
" Professor, initiate lock down. Sentinels are coming. We have to stop them before they reach this place. " A look of surprise evident in Xavier's face.
Sentinels are long gone project and he knows the real capacity of the Sentinels. Charles tried to read the two girls mind but he didn't got anything.
Something is blocking him. Before he wants to say anything he heard the landing of the Sentinels.
" Logan. You are leader for this mission. Sentinels are exactly created for destroying the mutants. Be careful. "
" Don't worry Chuck. Initiate lock down after we leave. "
" You stay here. You are gonna get hurt. " Clark told the masked lady. She smiled at him.
" Thank you Clark. Trust me. i can fight now. " she assured him.
" But " Clark wanted say but he can tell by her determined expression.
" Everyone grab next person's hand. " masked woman said.
After they done that everyone vanished in puff of smoke and appeared in front of mansion and they can see three sentinels in front of them.
Everyone has doubts like how she transported everyone and especially like Kurt. But never done with this many people.
He usually does with one or two people. Before they say anything masked woman screamed a battle cry and disappeared in puff of smoke and appeared on neck of red sentinel and again she disappeared along with red sentinel.
She transported red sentinel almost half the orbit and left it. Again she let out a red crimson beam from her eyes and aimed at sentinel legs to disable it's flight and it worked.
She transported to the battle scene where Clark is fighting with blue one and xmen is fighting with green sentinel. Clark saw what masked woman does. Earlier she is running from them now she doing incredible things.
He ran with incredible speed toward the sentinels and he first met blue sentinel. He hit it with incredible force making it back away twenty feet. But Clark didn't stopped. He ran and hit it with again and again. But the metal it made is so strong not even getting dent.
xmen saw masked woman tackling red sentinel and Clark's incredible power display. They saw remaining green sentinel .
First Jean lifted the sentinel and threw away next Scott used his crimson beams to threw away more. Then Ororo used lightning to fry it. Still that robot isn't even got scratch.
Logan claws barely made scratch. The blades can cut if you apply enough force but not enough to properly damage the armour. They all heard the sound and masked woman appeared in front of them and told them.
" Incoming. " Next minute big red sentinel fell in front of them of thirty feet away. Still nothing happened.
" They are too tough. " Clark said.
" They made adamantiam and vibraniam alloy that stronger than captain america shield. " she explained them.
" How can we stop them then? " Scott asked.
" They have some weakness. Their eyes and feet. Burn the repulsers below feet first so they won't fly. "
" They can fly " Kitty said with surprise and frustration.
" That's just great. "
" Yes. they can. Now I disabled red one flight. " then she used lightning on red one repeatedly so it stay that way without raising.
Jean lifted the green robot with much effort and while Logan covering her with his claws so it's blast won't hit her and Scott used his beams and Ororo used her lightning to fry .
" Now eyes. " Logan said.
Clark ran with superspeed and lifted the blue robot at its feet. And circled himself along with the robot then he threw it in air. Just when it started to fly Clark hit the ground to leap then he hit it's legs with his hands to destroy the repulsers .
He felt the broken machinery in legs he felt his hands hit strong alloy after that. Masked lady produced bony exo skeleton around her like armour to protect herself from beams and ran toward red robot and phased the robot half in ground. Even though she hit by some blasts but she Instantly healed.
" Now your eyes. " she said and she used crimson red beams combined with lightning to fry it's visionary circuits. Kitty tried to phase through the robot but something stopping her from phasing through it but she phased the robot half the body in ground so it didn't move.
Jean lifted Logan and threw directly toward green robot eyes. Logan claws directly dig in the eyes while emitting electric sparks. Clark and blue robot are hitting each other with everything they have.
With Clark speed and strength he is easily dodging the fire but not everytime luck is his side.
Some are also hitting him and for his surprise they are hurting like hell and for others surprise he is healing quickly. Clark know he has to reach it's eyes somehow so he ran toward the trees then jumped on tree and to reaching the robot he is jumping from one tree to another tree. The robot blasts are easily avoidable now because he is getting considerable protection from trees.
Then with a long jump from tree , he reached robot head and he used his forefinger and middle finger combined like a knife .
With both hands and with incredible force and speed he buried his fingers in it's eyes.
Even though it's eyes are strong but they are not strong as the alloy it made of and especially not strong as his fingers. So the glass broke and advanced sensors in its eyes are destroyed, emitting electric sparks.
Three robots are dazed for a moment. Everyone stopped for a while.
" Now what is happening? " Clark saw the robot and it looked like it is trying adjust because it lost its vision.
Then for Clark's surprise, the robot's head is turning and he can tell it is tuning like it is trying to hear him.
" Who invented these ? " Clark thought himself.
Now he doesn't know what to do. So he ran toward the masked lady who is fighting. He can see xmen and masked lady also destroyed the robot's eyes.
" Hey , what's happening ? " Clark asked her.
" They are trying to hear us. " she replied.
" What ? " Kitty said with surprise.
" They can hear and smell too. Their smell is par with Logan and hearing also hundred times better than normal humans. " she replied.
" That's fucking great. " rogue muttered.
Rogue is considerably powerful mutant with near invulnerability, superstrength and flight but these are resulted by excess absorption of life force from Ms Marvel . The real power she has is absorbing life force of anyone she touches .
The absorption causes normal people to lost consciousness to death , in case of mutants or any other it causes to get her their abilities .
In case of Ms Marvel , her absorption is too long that it caused permanent change in Rogue in physically and mentally .
She is tall and attractive woman with skin tight yellow uniform that showing her spectacular figure .
In a moment three robots are started attacking them again with very good accuracy.
" Rogue , take everyone powers. It's okay, they lost conscious. Drain them enough to keep their powers atleast half an hour. " masked lady suggested.
Clark didn't understand how teenage girl with white stripe hair can drain them but he understood once everyone placed their hands on Rogue exposed hand. He saw Rogue face that she is feeling power is flowing through her body. Everyone else just fell on ground.
Rogue gave a battle cry similar to Logan and with a telekinetic punch, she threw the robot that coming toward her. " Now what? " Rogue asked.
" This is the plan. We have to stop them until their power is drained. Now it is with 50 percent level. They are using extra senses which will drain their power quickly so we have to defend until then. " masked woman explained.
Then fight continued. Clark can see both masked lady and Rogue are extremely talented and their skill at using every power they have in them is amazing. Clark mainly relied on his brute strength combining with his speed.
Almost half an hour is completed and RogRogue is near to lose her power. And unconscious xmen are waking now. Logan is the first one to woke up and joined the fight then others are joined. And suddenly three robots are stopped from fighting.
Masked woman can guess that their power levels are reached for below ten percent and what they are gonna do now. For xmen and Clark's surprise, the three robots are started merging together. Limbs combined with limbs, arms combined with arms, legs combined with legs, head combined with head.
And their main reactor core of three robots are merged and as a result it is big thirty feet robot with three colours if red,blue and green with giant arms and legs with three times thickness of metal armour around it's body. Scott used his beams, jean tried to lift it and gave telekinetic punch , Ororo used lightning and Kurt transported Kitty near the robot but robot sensed Kitty and Kurt.
If it isn't Clark and masked woman they certainly gonna die. Clark ran superspeed and stood between blast and them. The impact of blast increased so much that he screamed with pain. Masked woman quickly teleported them from them.
All the effort of xmen combined with Clark punches also didn't even budge the robot. " Now what we are gonna do? " Rogue asked frustratingly. She is feeling the complete lost of the power.
" Now you all relax. This the moment I am waiting for. It's show time. " masked woman smiled wickedly.
She turned to Clark and retrieved a chain around her neck. The chain has a purple crystal , she pulled out that broken chain with crystal is in her hand.
" Clark, now it's completely up to yours. " She reached him and she placed the crystal on his forehead.
Everyone saw a black smoke came out of the crystal and disappeared into Clark. Everyone can see increase of brightness of aura around him. His eyes glowed for a moment then Clark saw masked woman and spoke.
" You did it. You successfully completed the mission. "
" Yes Clark. " she said happily.
Clark grabbed her and kissed her passionately. The robot started firing at them, everyone scattered except Clark and masked woman. Clark turned so he covered her.
The blast hit him on back and for xmen surprise Clark didn't even acknowledged.
" Honey, i am gonna finish it. Wait here. " Clark told her.
" Do quickly. You have to meet important people. " she told him.
He nodded. Clark ran with incredible superspeed that xmen never seen before at hit the robot on its chin. Everyone felt the shockwaves coming because of the collision.
With the power of punch , the robot threw upwards and Clark started flying until in mid air he caught the robot.
" Now we have to go somewhere. " Clark said and flew upwards that he is in orbit and he absorbed unfiltered sun rays.
" That's what I need for finish. " Clark said and he gripped robot's leg and flew downwards until both crash at same place they started.
The force behind the crash so much that it felt like mini earthquake and dust covered everyone eyes. Clark landed perfectly but affected robot felt it's senses overdrive because not able to analyze the situation.
" Code red. " the robot sensed. And as per it's instruction it is taking extreme measure. The robot who fell is raised and added EM field around it metal body to get extra protection.
Clark is running around the robot and used his heat vision to disrupt it's EM field then giving the most powerful punches he can . Everyone can felt the mini earthquakes and shockwaves from the battle between Clark and robot.
No one is dared to approach them. And within minutes dust is cleared and everyone saw Clark is blowing the dust using his superbreath and one hand he has type of glowing crystal in his hand and there is a hole in chest of robot.
Xmen can't believe Clark punched a hole threw it because Logan claws and Cyclops beam barely made scratch.
" Now we have to meet my parents. " Clark said and carried masked woman and with incredible speed of running he reached the room where Xaviour and Clark's parents are watching the battle with young woman masked lady brought and Chloe.
Everyone except Xaviour jumped by Clark's sudden appearance.
" Mom , Dad it is so good to see you. " he hugged them as tight as possible without hurting them. " Oh Chloe, you look so young. " he hugged her.
" Son, what's going on? " Jonathan asked. Because no one know why Clark is acting like this.
Suddenly he became so powerful and now he is acting all crazy.
" She will explain later. " Clark pointed masked lady.
" i can't believe that I can see you again but here you are. i am so lost without you guys. " Clark again hugged three of them .
" I made so many mistakes. " Clark started crying.
Jonathan and Martha don't know what to do about his crying son.
" It's okay son. Everyone makes mistakes. You are not an exception. You have to move on and try to do right thing. " Jonathan patted Clark's shoulder.
" Your Dad is right son. You are not God son. You are normal like us who makes mistakes. " Martha tried to console him.
" I am from the future Mom. Where you all are died and I am alone. i missed you. One time I almost resurrected you guys. " Clark told them.
Now they are understanding a little. This Clark is from future where they all died. But resurrecting dead people is too much.
" Clark, you can't do that. Wherever we are, we always loves you and watch over you. " Jonathan told.
" Thanks guys. It is time my time to leave. " Clark said after leaving them from his hug. All xmen entered the room. Clark saw them .
" It is so great to meet you guys. i never said sorry for my actions. Sorry guys. " Clark told them but they don't know why Clark is talking like this and what he is talking about.
" It's time honey. " Clark called masked lady .
She reached Clark and placed the crystal at his forehead. Then within a moment Clark eyes glowed and lost conscious. After Clark woke up she started telling everything.
" I am Hope Summers. " she looked at Scott. " You are my ancestor. i came from year 3034.
" she removed her mask. " I am your futureself. " she told to the her youngerself.
" In future because of Clark , world accepted mutants with open arms. Everything fine until mutant haters divided Clark and xmen. Clark did some mistakes so Xmen didn't trusted Clark and because of xmen actions the woman Clark loved died and Clark snapped. That is the dark time for all mutants in the world. People trusted Clark more than anyone. He made sure every mutant shouldn't be roam around without unchecked. They are colonized and placed unbreakable wall around them and their mistakes punished very harshly. Until another woman came into his life. She is prophesized as mutants saviour. Clark realized his mistakes and making amends but mutant haters decided to travel to past and kill her. But Clark already devised a plan to change the future. But mutant haters started chaos so Clark stayed there and sent me to the mission. This crystal contain the phantom of him. It is the technology Clark created in future and those robots also Clark created to capture mutants but rebels send them to kill my past self before they can send more Clark destroyed time circuit so time travel is impossible after that except for me. " she finished.
Everyone looked at her and trying to sink in what she said.
" That robot Clark created? " Rogue asked.
" Yes. he created for rogue mutants and he wanted to create the robot similar to him so he created these. These are older versions though. "
" I thought if you touch or meet your futureself doesn't cause any disastrous effect. " Jean asked.
" Usually futureself may end up erased from existed or alter but still this event won't change. "
" What about your future ? Won't it disturb? " Kitty asked.
" No. My interference caused the disrupt in timeline. Still i have a time to reach my timeline before it is erased permanently . "
" Why you ? " Scott asked.
" Only i can change the course of destiny. Clark heard the prophecy. And he knows what he doing and he know what to do to preserve xmen future."
" So you and Clark know that you are gonna erase yourself from existence . That means you die . Right ? " Charles asked.
" Technically no one die. But the person i am now and the person Clark i know won't exist after sometime. See sending Hope here directly wont change future. Future is result of series of decisions or choices. Until that decisions or choices happen my timeline is safe. For now there is no choice taken to change the timeline drastically so I think I can go back to my timeline. "
" So what should we do? " Xaviour asked.
" Keep Hope with you and remember Clark joining this school is essential for xmen future. And how powerful Clark is, he is not God. He is gonna made mistakes like everyone else. You should trust him and forgive him for his mistakes. "
" So I still live after 1000 years. " Clark asked.
" Yes Clark. Even thousand years after also you are still looks young. " she replied.
" So everyone else died. i am all alone in future. " Clark felt sad.
" No, you will make new friends. New people will come in your life. " she assured him.
" Don't lose your hope Clark. And Hope is your responsibility. " she handed her past self hand to him.
" Summers, what happened to me ? " Logan asked.
" You got your memory back. In the end you lived happy life with your family. With future technology you wanted to remove your adamantiam from your bones and Clark did it. Then with Clark's help , your healing factor reduced and married to woman you loved and happily lived with 2 children. " she replied.
Logan smiled.
" Rogue, i have a gift for you. " older Hope reached and touched her face with her bare skin. For everyone surprise nothing is happened.
" I can touch you so is she. But it will take time . Until don't touch her at any condition. i don't know the consequences. " she pointed younger Hope.
" Clark won't affect by your powers too. "
" It's time for me to leave with these sentinel. " she touched her ring after reaching the robot. Both vanished.
" So Clark, No one should know the future but you learned. It looks like we both gonna do some things we are not proud. You are very essential for people accepting mutants but you also know we will be the reason you will lose your path. Now tell me your opinion. "
" Professor, i don't know what to do. But one thing I know is future will change and you shouldn't be afraid of what may come in future. You have to do what is right in this moment. And I am new to this institute but real thing that matter is what about your students. " Clark asked. Professor is looking at students like what their opinion is.
" Professor, you know the best. Whatever you decide, we all are agree with you. " Ororo told him behalf of everyone and everyone nodded.
" Whatever happened, my decision is not changed. And we also know that because of him world accepted us. So I want him to join us. So anyone wants to say anything? " Xaviour asked.
No one said anything. " Now we have another student too. Hope you will stay with Chloe in new room. , Jean take them to new room. I guess for now you are not having new roommates. I will call Hank to tend your wounds. "
" I think everyone is tired so take rest. " professor told them.
Clark woke up in the bed he is allocated. He woke up early thanks to the habit in farm.
He can see blue furred mutant is sleeping peacefully. Clark heard about the story, how Kurt is chased when he is little and he didn't have his power but only appearance.
Then professor gave him sanctuary here and a holowatch which projects a holographic image of young boy around him so he can go to school.
Chloe went nuts when she saw the watch. He saw Kitty and Chloe are discussing about that watch.
Charles can't help but think about the extraordinary students they got accidentally .
One is Clark Kent . He can't read his mind , like he is thinking differently than normal . In his life he encountered some people whose minds he is not able to read . They are always shielded but Clark's mind is not shielded . Somehow he is not able to understand . And the abilities he displayed when he is enhanced , is wonderful and terrifying . Strength is rival to hulk and his own half brother juggernaut . Speed is exceeding Pietro . And other abilities also amazing . He is sure Clark is not a mutant , atleast traditional one . No mutant possessed this many different powers .
Another one is Hope Summers who came from future . He heard tales of time traveling but he never thought he is gonna witness one . So far Hope didn't exhibit any signs of future . According to what she told , as long as she knows , she had minimal interaction with outside world and technology .
There is a prophesy that she is mutant Messiah so some group of people targeting her always . She is raised by some mutant monks who protected her . Only company she have is one video player and according to her , very old movies from 20th century and some tv series how I met your mother and friends . He can't help but laugh when he heard students offering their own favorite series .
And Hope's power also unusual and almost same like Rogue except she don't need contact or won't drain others . And he is not able to read her brain too . Not like Clark but she has natural inbuilt telepathic blocks .
He still has to determine how many powers she can have or how long . Still she is new to this and seems she is trying to adjust with Clark's help . Clark don't know how feel .
Today professor mentioned they are gonna measure his powers along with Chloe and Hope. At first they don't know how Hope powers worked .
After a mean time they learned what her powers are. She can mimic any xmen powers except Clark for some reason and can do better, atleast Older Hope . This Hope is still needs training.
Logan called her voodoo doll of mutants. And they don't know how many powers she can handle at one.
Older Hope handled all powers at once. Clark is still nervous about the test. First they are gonna test his limits then they told him that he will have danger room session.
The name danger room made him little worried.
When Clark reached the danger room, everyone is waiting for him. He can see that they are very exited to see what he can do. He can see all xmen in various dresses.
Even Chloe and Hope also wearing traditional xmen yellow xmen dress. Logan pointed to a dress, telling him that wear that .
Clark took the dress and went to changing room. The dress fitted his physique perfectly so showing his muscular frame. When he came out of changing room, he heard wolf whistle from distance.
He can tell that is Kitty. He felt little shade red on his face with shy.
" Clark, first we are gonna test the limits of your strength. " Clark heard processor voice in speaker.
" This is hydrolic pressure plates " Clark saw a thick metallic rod and it has a attachment that 5 square feet metallic shiny plate.
" Try to lift the plate. i am gonna increase the pressure gradually. "
" Yes professor. " Clark walked to the machine, placed his his hands above his head , ready carry weight.
Professor pressed the button, the plate moved to Clark hands. Clark didn't even flinched when the thick plate hit his hands. The screen showed number 10 tons. and sensors attached to his dress is showing his heart rate is much slower.
40 per minute. Professor started increasing the pressure, The number is increasing but his vitals are still not changed. 10, 20,50,100,200,500. . . .
" Is it really tons? " Jean is not able to believe because not small hint in Clark face that he is struggling to lift that much weight.
" Of course red. " Logan grunted with frustration. 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, ,. . . The monitor is showing increased vital, now his heart is beating with 50 per minut.
" Are you okay Clark? " professor is concerned.
" Yes professor. You can increase more. " Clark shouted.
Every student is looking at Clark like they are watching most wonderful thing in world. 2500,2600, 2700, 2900, 3000 Everyone can see drop of sweat is coming from Clark temple. 3000, 3100, 3250. . . Clark bent his leg and screamed like he is struggling to lift.
Professor stopped the machine and hydraulic plate went back to ceiling. Clark fell on floor and taking deep breaths.
" Are you okay Clark " Chloe reached Clark.
" Yeah. i am fine now. i guess I never pushed myself this much. " Clark raised.
What surprised everyone is, just a minute before he is at brink of exhaustion , now he is totally fine.
" How did i do? " Clark really curious to know about himself.
Logan pointed to the LED screen, it is showing 3315 tons. { In legion of superheros, teenage Clark shown as he lifted 3000 tons in first episode. }
" Oh my god. " Clark never tested himself but this is he never imagined.
" i actually lifted more than 3000 tons. "
" Yes you did Clark. And you said your powers are growing. That means you can lift more in future. " Charles surprised by Clark strength.
And he is just 16 only. That means he one of the most powerful person in the world. Thank God he is not with magneto. He can influence this earth fate easily with Clark help .
There is not many people can stop him if Clark is with him .
" Wow, he is as strong as juggernaut professor. " Scott is assessing situation. He is team leader and juggernaut is the one they never able to defeat if there is no professor around .
Now with Clark is with them they have a chance defeat him if professor is away. " Who is juggernaut? " it is Clark who asked the question .
" Juggernaut is my step brother. He used a magical gem to enhance his strength. Now he is almost unstoppable. And he is always angry with me so he tried to attack me and this mansion many times . " Charles explained the painful memories of his brother.
" Now he is in shield custody. "
" Let's go to his fast professor. " everyone is too eager to test his other powers too. And Kitty is more enthusiastic than others.
" Clark, it is the specially designed device to test your speed. " Clark heard professor and looked at the machine.
It looks like simple treadmill except it has wired attachments and big small LED screen.
Clark stood on that treadmill and started running. The running track is smooth and it is not needed extra force to run, almost like running on ground.
Clark saw LED screen is showing 53mph and number is increasing. 53, 66, 89, 123, . . . Clark increased his speed, everyone is looking at yellow and black blur in the place of Clark. 156, 193, 231, 322. .. . . Everyone can see now his heartbeat started increasing. 350, 372, 411, 421, 432, 430, 427, 430, 434 . . . Clark can't able to increase his speed more than that.
But he doesn't stopped running.
" Don't stop running Clark. " He heard professor instruction.
Clark ran for almost hour but his heartbeat didn't changed. It initially changed from 40 to 50 beats per minute.
Then it stood there. Even running of one hour also, he doesn't sweat and he is fine. Professor announced results.
" Looks like your speed is 420 to 430 mph Clark. But what is more amazing is, you maintained same speed entire hour effortlessly. As per data, you have unlimited or very large energy in you. We have to find out that where you are getting this energy. You are recovering so quick from exhaustion. It's my theory that you are getting instant energy from somewhere. " Clark thought about what professor said. And yes, he normally won't get tired and even if he did, he gets fine instantly.
" Remaining abilities your heightened senses, Logan will test in danger room session. " Clark looked at Logan when professor is saying.
He can see a rare smile on Logan face like he is challenged.
" Remaining is your X-ray vision. " professor announced.
" His X-ray vision? " Kurt puzzled.
" Yes Kurt. Clark has a ability to see through solid objects. Of course it is not exactly X-ray but that is the name he gave to that power. " While professor is explaining, only one thing is in every girl's mind.
" What? " everyone except Chloe screamed, covering their chests with their hands, feeling like they are exposed. Clark know this is gonna happen, he expected their reaction.
That's why he doesn't like to reveal this particular ability. " Oh man, That is the best power in the world. That is even better than invisibility. It is every teenagers dream. I will trade my teleportation to that power anytime. " Even though Kurt want to say normally, every girl's eyes in room fell on him and those are not looking happy.
Kurt lowered his head. Clark also lowered his head. " Don't worry Clark. No one is here is judging you. You didn't asked this power. " professor turned to students.
" Clark is in full control of his power and he won't misuse his power like that. I think we can have another session to test this ability of yours Clark. " Clark nodded.
Professor can feel, they won't be that comfortable if he uses his X-ray vision in front of the girls.
After Clark left , Chloe came forward to the place . Clark can't help but amazed by how cute she looks in the xmen uniform .
It is tight fit yellow pant and shirt that hugged her frame beautiful except her hands . It may be for using her powers .
" Ms Sullivan is gifted with power of tree . She is like a living tree . But we don't know extent of her powers . " professor announced .
" Ms Sullivan . " Chloe turned towards professor .
" Let us see what you can do . " Chloe nodded then opened her palm . In front of their eyes a large rose appeared in her hand .
Then her blond hair filled with red and blue small flowers that covered her entire hair . " Wow . She looks like a goddess . " Clark can't help but say .
Then he realized everyone heard him . Chloe felt little blush by her compliment . " It's OK buddy . She is your girlfriend . " Kurt patted his shoulder .
Which made Clark's face red while everyone is snickering lightly . Logan is grunted to get everyone attention .
" Can you pick up the ball ? " Logan suggested showing the ball on table . Chloe can understand what he meant by that .
He wants her to use her powers . Chloe practiced something like that . She extended her hand , from her palm , a green and thick stem came and wrapped around the ball .
The stem acted like alive snake controlled by her . The stem placed the ball in other hand of Chloe palm .
While everyone is looking , the stem is disappeared into her body . Next Hope came forward stood beside Chloe , everyone knows what her power is .
" Ms Summers " professor addressed her .
" You have unique gifted child . You can mimic the gift of mutant near you . I think it is safe to test your ability by using Chloe . " She nodded .
" She is like voodoo girl of mutants . " Logan commented .
First she tried to make apple appear from her hand . For a moment they all saw struggle she is feeling then it's like light turned on , she stopped struggling , in her hand first a stem came from middle of her palm , from that a apple appeared .
" Try to do what this plant girl did . " Logan said .
" Plant girl ? " Chloe smirked at her comment .
But stopped when she saw Logan serious face . Then for their surprise , Hope got five big vines from her hand like a banyan tree , picked the balls .
Then she juggled those balls using those thick vines .
" Wow " Chloe can't help but wondered by the girl's display of control . " Looks like she have gift of control too . She not only can mimic the ability , but also she can use it to maximum potential .
" professor explained . " It is best that voodoo doll and plant girl can practice together while wonder boy here will have his first danger room session . " Logan declared .
Frankly to speak , he didn't like the sound of danger room . Especially the way Logan said with little smile . He definitely wants to test him .
Danger room is a big field , more like a training room he has to say . When Clark entered the room , he saw nothing but field similar to basketball field except it is larger and fully indoor .
" Clark " Clark heard professor voice .
" Are you ready ? "
" Yes professor . " he doesn't know he ready or not but no time like present he thought .
" Logan . Start . "
" Wonder boy . Try to survive . " Clark heard Logan voice .
Suddenly many number of drones came from all sides , even from ground . The training session is actually suitable for Xmen who are trained for months , some years .
For a starting person , they can't survive more than minutes .
But this danger room never let anyone hurt except test them to his limits , many times leaving them bruised and tired . Clark is looking at the drones that are going to surround him in a moment , but for his surprise only two drones came forward .
Both drones are in air , looking like a gun attached to metal silver balls . They moved exactly opposite to each other , two sides of Clark . Looks like they are in attacking position .
Two drones attacked him at same times , bullets came from their guns . As usual Clark just moved his body with speed to avoid the bullets .
The guns have sensor so movement of guns started following him but his speed is too much to keep track .
Clark thought of smashing those drones but he felt like the damage is gonna cost professor lot of money so he just avoided . Any how his job is to survive .
Very soon he realized , its not gonna work . Because another four flying drones added to previous ones , limiting his movements .
Even though the ground is huge and there are some metallic walls but it is giving protection very little time from those drones , they are quickly catching him with their sensors .
Logan is watching the young boy with extraordinary abilities . There is a difference between normal Xmen and him , is that he is actually very comfortable with his powers , like he is using them for a long time .
For mutant , their powers are triggered after their puberty or like him when they face high emotional experience . That means wonder boy is also faced something highly emotional .
Looking at him , he probably have lot of experience in his powers for his young age that concludes he is one of youngest to have powers .
Charles also thinking same thing but different perspective . When Clark is battling those future sentinels , he has lot more powers in his command than now . That means he is going to get them eventually . What is he , he wondered . He is no mutant that is confirmed .
This week proved that Clark is very good man with rich human values . Kent's raised him good , And he can guess why Clark is just avoiding those drones than attacking them . Both Logan and Charles know this won't last .
This program specifically designed by him to teach students that their powers should be used smartly .
As they expected Clark took offensive position and next moment there is a blur and drones have Clark's fist in their bodies , fell lifelessly .
Clark took a breath but there is no such luck . He saw those drones vanished in thin air like it's magic .
And another ten drones came in their places and Clark can see they are shiny and entirely different metal .
Logan has to say this technology is awesome . There is no property lost except huge power it consume . When Forge first showed this technology the word came to his mind is magic . But he called it hard light .
He remembered when he first trained , the cost is in millions . Now it is just power and thanks to the nuclear reactor they have , there is no shortage .
Clark try to did same thing he did to previous drones but this time result is different .
The metal is strong that even his knuckles hurt . He never thought this type of metal , that can hurt him , is existed . He quickly come out of his surprise by hearing the sound of bullets .
Now that he is doing what he can do only in this situation . Taking cover occasionally and running , which is his only advantage .
He has to think quickly if he wants to survive . He tried hit those drones repeatedly so he can atleast damage their senses .
At first it seemed futile but it worked long time . Looks like he damaged two of drones sensors so they are firing all around senseless .
It took lot more time , even with his speed because he has to avoid all the firing . He doesn't know he is bulletproof or not .
Last time he is fired by bullets , the bullets gave him bruises . So he doesn't want to take risk even though he is sure he is stronger than before . Logan is actually impressed .
Kid is lasting longer than he thought . He can see it is pure determination than skill . And he can see kid is not even sweating a little even though he is running longer than hour .
Everyone is watching the performance of Clark . They already saw Clark fight but this is different . Logan is deliberately testing him and pushing him . It's like watching best action movie but they barely can see Clark movements .
Next they saw Clark is gripping two drones with his hands , which he disabled the sensors , then forcefully making them fire at other drones while he is taking cover . For a beginner , he is almost hitting the drones eve n though they are moving fast .
Logan took mental note that fast reflexes , need extra training . He has to have pin point accurate aim . Clark saw those bullets have no effect on those thick metal , he thought he has to find weak point .
He thought may be firing into the gun barrel hole may hurt those drones internal . This time he concentrated , took a aim , directly into the barrel hole . And he is correct .
The drone that took hit , let out electric sparks , then fell silently . But that cost him time and so many multiple shots and remaining drones approached him and dangerously close to hit him .
Within a moment he gave burst of speed , came out of those drones vicinity and again took cover . Logan saw kid's technique , he is impressed .
One by one he took out every drone but in doing so he got hit by some bullets . He saw kid felt pain but he didn't see any backing down .
Clark felt the stinging but lesser than previous . He just shrugged , gritted his teeth . At last he finished destroying every drone , including he has in his hands . He never felt he stretched his powers this much .
He is surprised he is not tired , but feeling little strain , took a relaxed breath . Logan smirked himself that kid is relaxing . He knows that system always gives new challenges so he is waiting . And he saw another ten drones are appeared with shooting energy beams .
He saw kid got alert . Clark can't believe what he is seeing . It still got more drones . Clark ran towards them , then started to hit every drone with every ounce of strength he got and repeatedly .
Many drones lost their sensors and some let out sparks and fell . Clark took too many hits , baring his pain with gritted teeth , he started destroying every drone . He quickly found out the weak point is at joints , he is targeting them only .
He is taking out one by one but for every single one , two more started adding . But Clark didn't stopped .
He is clearly overwhelmed but not stopped hitting . There are more than hundred drones now , surrounded him like stinging honey bees around honey hive . No one can see what is happening . Clark is totally disappeared among all the drones .
Logan know what is happening . Danger room thinks it's victory is in numbers so it overwhelmed kid with numbers . Clark don't know what is happening . He felt like his body is in fire with all pain from those stinging energy beams .
He is using his speed and strength at maximum but it's no use . For every single downed drone , room is adding additional two .
The room is full of drones , that's when he heard alarm sound , all the drones vanished . Clark looked around . Taking a huge breath .
Ororo Munro aka Storm , is in infirmary of institute . No one here is doctor but because of the powers of Xmen and constants fights they are facing needs some medical attention .
Usually Henry McCoy comes to institute if there is major problem . In normal days she took care of small wounds and cuts . She learned enough knowledge to handle that .
It is mandatory to have knowledge of first aid and basic medical knowledge for every student .
Today , the person that needs medical attention is extraordinary kid with amazing abilities , Clark Kent . He is saying he is okay but no one will be okay after what he faced . Atleast have a look into him , what Charles said .
Clark always hate this type of places especially these labs . He had nightmares that someone capture him then dissect him .
The woman in front of him is no one like in his dreams . She is very attractive and beautiful woman but that's not the one comforting him . Her eyes , full with kind and compassion is assuring him to not to afraid .
" Clark . " she called him to get attention of boy who sat on bed .
" Unzip your jacket . " Clark just nodded then removed his jacket , exposing his top half body .
Ororo , in her life saw many handsome men and dated some of them . So she is familiar with the naked male body . Still she can't help but stare .
She knew Clark is lot younger than her , it may weird and she knew staring is rude . Even she can't help but appreciate the perfect male specimen in front of her .
She can see defined muscles , like perfectly sculptured with flawless skin . She absently touched him to examine . Clark , like any red blooded male , can see Ms Munro is very attractive woman and can't help but blush when he knows she is staring at his exposing chest and when he felt her touch . Ororo quickly recognized her mistake , removed her hand .
Still she found what she looking for . Clark doesn't have a single bruise on his chest . She remembered bullets are hitting him , energy beams firing on him .
" Not a single scratch . " she said .
" Bullets usually left me with bruises before even though they quickly heal . But not this rate . I guess I am getting stronger . " Clark expressed his theory .
" Did you feel pain when they hit you ? "
" I always feel Ms Munro . I think I have more tolerance and resistance than normal person . " Ororo thought about that .
Again touched his chest , this time intentionally .
" It felt soft . " she said regarding his skin . " And warm . " Clark is lot warmer than normal people .
" I can't explain actually . " Clark replied .
" I am sure professor going to help you to find out . " she smiled her radiant smile assuringly .
" No offense Ms Munro but I am not comfortable with doing tests on myself . "
" Of course . Many mutants share your fear but it is very important to learn about yourself . One day you will be ready to know yourself . I think you are perfectly alright . You can go now. "
Last few days , Clark's performance in danger room is became talk of the institute . Even though it is his first time , he survived lot longer than many people . Only person who survived longer than Clark is Logan , Storm and Jean .
He heard Jean actually destroyed the danger room when she lost control . He never thought the petite teen has that much power .
Next day is last day for school , so most of the people going to their home . Only people , that are staying are Logan , Rogue and professor .
Clark and Chloe actually have vacation here so they are staying here too , so is Hope .
Between his powers and coming to institute and everything , he remembers he has a girlfriend . He wants to take her to date . Currently he is waiting for right time to ask her .
That's why he is waiting before danger room . Chloe and Hope are practicing . He can see Hope is actually have greater control than Chloe even though Chloe is getting better and better by time being . He can't help but intrigued by Hope's powers .
They have funny effects whenever she is with others . One time she accidentally teleported his room . She told him she is just talking to Kurt . And she have all the powers of Xmen when she is dining with others .
One time she made rain because of Ms Munro powers and thanks to Ms Munro she stopped rain before it flooded the dining room . Usually she has great control over the powers but it's just sometimes it slips .
Most funny one is she fall off from chair , because she phased through chair . She accidentally shot him with her eye beams , curtsey of Scott's power .
Even though Scott unable to control his power , she can . Clark thinks this is best time because only Chloe and Hope are there in danger room .
Chloe and Hope are actually dueling with wooden sticks . They both have wooden armor around them which they obviously produced by themselves so is their wooden swords . Looks like they are having fun .
Chloe stopped her duel when she saw Clark .
" Hi Clark . What are you doing here ? " Chloe gave him friendly smile . She can see Clark is actually little nervous .
" Hi " he greeted Chloe then Hope .
" Hi Clark . " she turned to Chloe .
" I leave . " she can see Clark want to be alone with Chloe . She may new to this timeline but she is learning .
Clark said she became combined version of Chloe and Kitty in behavior .
" Thanks Hope . " Clark saw she placed her wooden sword and wooden armor in her locker and Chloe is removing hers too , revealing red top and long golden skirt .
" So ? " Chloe is looking at him .
" These last week had been crazy and all . I thought I want to ask you out . Do you want to go out with me ? " Chloe is surprised is less word , more like shocked . Because of all this craziness , she actually forgot that they kissed in dance .
" Yes Clark . I am happy to go out with you . " Chloe is already thinking about what dress she should wear .
She still can't believe she is going out with her long time crush . Clark smiled happily . " I will take you out someplace tomorrow . "
" Yes . " she is happily said .
Clark never thought choosing correct place for date is this difficult . Then he realized he should first decide the place then ask her out . So he did what anyone can do . He took opinion of her friends , Kitty and Hope . Next on line is his dress he thought while sighing .
Chloe is swirling through every dress she own . She knows he said he said it's just normal date , it is officially their first date . Even though they know each other for 8 years , still she can't help but excited .
Clark at last picked a spot . He thought about it and taking suggestions from Kitty and Hope , she now like plant life so he thought of arranging picnic in middle of institute ground . He cooked Chloe's favorite items , carried bed and blanket and cleared significant amount of area . Chloe considered every situation for date except this picnic . She is definitely surprised and really liked . He cooked for her , Chloe thought it's really romantic .
" Wow Clark , this is amazing . " she said .
" Thanks Chloe . You look beautiful . " Clark kissed her on cheek .
Chloe can't help but blush . She is wearing her new dress , green strapless dress with golden leaves all over it .
" You are pretty cleaned up . " Clark tried many clothes then he remembered Chloe told him , blue suits him so he wore blue shirt and red jacket and jeans .
The date is slow and they already know about each other so automatically their topic is mutants and powers .
" Entire institute is empty now . " Chloe said . She is now in embrace of Clark , who has his back leaned against tree .
" Why ? I saw Scott left with professor . I can't believe professor found his brother after this long time . I always wondered what would be if I have a brother . I guess I won't feel alone may be . "
" Now you have whole lot people , who you won't have afraid to share your secret with . " Chloe replied while snuggling more against him .
He is lot warmer than normal person .
" Still I am afraid to tell my real secret . "
" Why don't you trust them Clark ? There is no reason . "
" It's not that I won't trust them . It's just I am afraid they won't trust me . I am afraid how they react . I tell them one day , hopefully soon . "
" I know you don't have to afraid anymore Clark . "
" I guess . where are others ? " Clark is arranging this picnic while others go away .
" Everyone thought they are going to Hawaii to recruit Scott's brother . When professor and Scott left without them , they thought they will have beach vacation somewhere else . They took Scott's car . "
" Ms Munro went to visit her home that means no one is in institute . So what should you want to do next ? " Clark asked .
" This date is great Clark . I am having good time . I think we should continue where we interrupted at school dance . " Clark thought about that then realized what Chloe means .
" You mean . " before Clark can finish Chloe lips are on his . " Look at the love birds . " Clark heard the voice , which made him stop the kissing .
" I can't believe we are interrupted again . " frustration is clear in Chloe flushed face . Clark also thinking same thing .
Last time they are interrupted by guy with red suit and helmet , now two young boys who looks like same age as his . One is large boy ,who has donut in his hand , within a moment he swallowed entire thing .
He is wearing large T-shirt , still it is not able to cover his under belly . Clark has large frame but that boy easily weighs more than three times . Other one is short boy , with very less hygiene . He can smell him from miles .
" Who are you people ? And how did you get pass security ? " Clark asked .
" Look , it's not personal . We are brotherhood . " short boy replied and instantly jumped in air . Clark heard about brotherhood , everyone in institute talk about them .
" So you are toad and you are Fred . " Toad is done some gymnastics , that makes professional jealous and kicked Clark in chest .
" Guys stop . I don't want to fight you . " Clark is not affected by kick but Toad actually felt like he hit brick wall and yelled .
" My leg my leg . "
" No one hurts friend of blob . " large boy roared , running towards Clark . Looks like ground shakes , for every step he take . Clark still don't want to fight , try to say something but Fred's head connected in Clark's chest .
Clark actually felt the blow and he is thrown back ten feet . In mean time , Toad recovered , started attacking Chloe . Chloe used only technique she learned from training .
She covered herself in wooden armor then tried to use thick veins as whip to hit him . Toad tried to hit Chloe while escaping from the swinging veins .
The advantage he has is , he is trained and quick reflexes and his superhuman tongue . Quickly he gained advantage on Chloe .
Clark is recovered quickly from blob's blow . Clark normally won't use his strength in full , but the big man in front of him is more than capable to take his punch .
He tried punch him on gut . Fred actually felt the punch but not as much as Clark hoped .
The thick fat around his body softened the blow . Again Fred tried punch Clark but this time he is ready . Clark caught the hand , twisted until Fred winced with pain .
" Please leave now . I don't want to fight you . " Clark again tried to reason him .
" No . Big man told me to win , if I want to live . " Fred replied .
" Who is he ? " Clark asked .
But Fred didn't reply , instead he tried hit him . Clark looked for Chloe , she is in trouble .
He has to stop this fight right away he thought . He zipped from Fred's punch , gave him series of super strong punches so fast , Fred felt like Clark is everywhere at once .
" Give up . " Clark again asked .
" No one will hurt you . Professor can protect you . " The raged teenager grabbed nearby tree from its roots , threw at him .
" Professor already took by him . He got free pass . But others , we have to earn the right . " Clark simply caught the tree like it weighs nothing .
" What are you talking about ? " only thing Clark understand is professor is in danger .
" Big man wants to destroy this world . Only worthy will live . I have to win so I can prove I am worthy . " Again another tree he threw .
That is one mad plan Clark thought . He need more information . Clark took big tree , attacked Fred .
It didn't take much time to make Fred unconscious . Then Clark looked for Chloe , he quickly find her . Toad is jumping from one tree to another tree , hitting Chloe from all the sides . Clark just used his superspeed , caught him by his shirt .
Toad tried get out the grip , tried to punch but it's like hitting steel door . He even used his glob to blind Clark , Clark just moved his head .
" Tell me where is professor ? " Clark asked .
" No one knows . " Toad replied .
Before Clark can ask more questions , a big metal globe came in air , landed in front of them . It is opened , metal tentacles came from that globe , started grabbing Clark . Clark released Toad but Toad yelled ball .
" No take me . " Clark tried break the metal but it is too strong , even for him . Clark is grabbed into globe , globe is closed while Clark tried hit the walls of globe inside . Chloe saw Clark is taken , can't help but yell no . Fred , who is recovered came to them .
" It's over . He is chosen . " he told her . Chloe looked at him blankly .
She has to inform someone . She ran towards mansion , Toad and Fred followed her . They don't like Xmen but in event of death , it's not matter . Clark can feel he is in air , still trying to punch his way out of this weird metal globe .
Then he felt gas is filling the globe . It may worked on normal people but it is not having any effect because of his alien physiology . Magneto is now on asteroid that is rich with iron , so he can control it . Now he built his base on it . It is revolving around earth like another satellite . Magneto already captured Xavier , Jean Grey , Ororo storm , new girl who has shown impressive powers , now the boy from Kansas .
The grand plan is going to make him God . He acquired rare gem , which gave juggernaut his powers . Now he is going to use the same gem to enhance his powers and other mutants . These are the mutants , that are are worthy to be his side .
He built a machine which uses the gem's radiation and make mutants to reach their maximum potential and susceptible to his commands . And the grand plan is he is gonna pull the asteroids all around this asteroid , the pull only possible because of his enhanced power , thanks to the gem .
The gravitational power on the earth is gonna destroy large chunk of space in Africa , he is gonna built his mutant nation with help of the mutants he has under control .
Magneto saw the globe is landing before him but he can hear the thumping sounds . His gas is not able to knock him out .
Impressive he thought . He is ready with adamantam metal roda to restrain him . As soon as the globe is opened , Clark jumped out of that metallic globe . Magneto didn't waste single moment , threw his rode to wrap around his legs and hands .
What he didn't expect is , Clark's speed . Clark saw the attack , simply moved away , grabbed magneto by his cape .
" Why did you kidnap me and other ? Where are they ? " Clark angrily asked .
" If you want to see them alive , you will cooperate with me Mr Kent . " magneto simply smiled , sensing the grip is loosening .
" Why ? " Clark asked .
" To protect the mutant kind from humans . Look at your friends " magneto showed Clark . Clark saw everyone , like they are in sleep .
They are in tall cylindrical shaped , separate closets , with glass door around them . He must be using same knocking gas on everyone .
" What do you want to do with them ? " Clark asked .
" No harm will come to them as long as you do as I say . " he replied .
" I don't like being blackmailed . " Clark replied .
" I don't like to blackmail but it's necessary . I don't want you to be in my way . Now walk into that empty chamber . " Clark know he doesn't have chance .
He knew he can't do anything . He walked in chamber .
" Do you really want to destroy world ? " Clark asked .
He actually laughed . " I just said because to motivate them . I need this world so mutants can roam freely without fear and recognized as superior race . "
" You are wrong you know . Just having powers never make you superior . "
" It's not about powers . We are evolution in human kind . They are in extinction . " magneto waved his hand , a force field came around and Clark felt the gas but it didn't knock him out .
Magneto saw that gas is not having effect on him .
" You have extraordinary gift Mr Kent . But I am fully prepared . " Another wave of hand , red liquid started filling the chamber . " This liquid is used for a person lot stronger than you Mr Kent . You may not know but your professor knows him , he calls him his brother . " Clark can feel he can't move . Whatever it is , it's making him immobile .
" Now he is imprisoned by government because he is too powerful . He can't move or eat or feel . Fate worse than death . This is what humans stored for us . Understand Mr Kent . " Now entire chamber filled with liquid .
Clark don't know how long he is in there but he woke up by some type of sensation . He felt like his entire body is energized . He felt like his eyes are gonna explode . Magneto saw the Kent boy is woke up .
That's impossible he thought . Even juggernaut not able to get out of that state . And he noticed the movement came when Magneto opened the gem chamber door . There must be connection . He placed Scott summer and his brother in the chamber , soon they will be in his control .
Clark opened his eyes , red fire came out of his eyes , boiling the liquid and he can feel he can move again .
" Mr Kent stop . If you want to see your friends alive . " Magneto warned .
But Clark is not in a position to hear . He felt the calling . It's not a words or physical . It's like a beacon , calling him . He can sense the presence , it's felt like safe , it's felt like home .
He needs to go . He didn't know what came over him but he punched the glass door , it's actually not a glass door . The arms , that can punch through steel door , not able to break the door but he is not stopping .
He can feel his knuckles bleeding but he didn't stopped . Magneto know Clark is not responding to him . The door actually broke , Clark came free .
" Open the door Magneto . I need to go ." Magneto don't know what is happening but if Kent wants to go willingly in machine , he happily allow him .
He knows that persuasion of the gem but it is affecting Mr Kent strongly and it also triggered his second mutation , fire from his eyes , from far away .
He knew Kent is strong one but he thought he may resist so he gave summer boys first choice .
" Happy to Mr Kent . " Magneto waved his head , door is opened . Clark felt the divine sensations , when he walked towards the chamber . When he entered , he is filled with pink radiation .
He automatically walked toward the source of the radiation . The cytterok gem , glittering in air like a beautiful star . Clark saw Summer brothers but he ignored .
He knows they are changing now , struggling to cope with the changes , they are experiencing , Clark wants to help but the pull of the gem is stronger .
Clark saw Summer brothers are leaving then he touched the gem . Instantly he felt the information is poured into his brain literally .
He felt like entire body is in fire but not like painful burning , it's like his entire body , every cell is lit by energy , giving him unimaginable power to him . Even though he can hear the clash is happening outside of the machine , even though he wants save his friends , he is not able to . He felt like he is in stasis .
He felt the presence of Mystique then Magneto . Clark know they are feeling the effects of this gem . He don't know how long he is in this machine but now he knows everything about this gem and most importantly his name .
KAL-EL He doesn't know how the gem did it , but it recognized him as it's administrator , master user . Now the gem is in his control . His name is Kal-el . He is from another planet called Krypton . According to the gem , in Krypton , name is not a word , it is embedded in his genes , apparently gem can read his name from his DNA .
Even though the gem origin is in earth , it is used in Krypton with specific purpose . Suppressing the X gene in people . When the evolution of Kryptonian's X gene activation came , it is appreciated but in long years , they thought it is creating chaos so they built a machine that suppressed X gene from birth itself .
Gradually evolution is stopped but the same gem that can suppress X gene also has capabilities of enhancing x gene and activating .
So they left the gem in earth . Clark finally came out of the machine , looking at it the battle . Quicksilver and Lance are unconscious and Xmen are freeing everyone .
That's when he heard professor . " Clark came back . Xmen destroy the machine . " He then heard Magneto shout .
" No ." Looks like he is enhanced too . Clark can see entire Xmen are struggling to fight with master of magnetism along with Scott summer and his brother .
Clark can feel the energy inside him . He knew what this gem done to them and to him . Fortunately it didn't change his psyche .
" Stop . " Clark yelled , getting attention from everyone .
Magneto saw the gem in Clark's hand . " Mr Kent . Give me my crystal . "
" It is not crystal , it's cytterok gem and it's not belong to you . " Rage is transparent in Magneto face .
He summoned the metal globe , threw at him with his full force . Clark , with his enhanced strength , he is ready for it . It connected him on chest but everyone's surprise , Clark is not even dazed .
" You are not the only one enhanced Magneto . " Clark just blew air threw his mouth , knocking Magneto and Summer brothers .
" Scott , Alex . He is danger to our cause . Destroy him . " Clark actually hesitated to fight his friend . That hesitation cost him . Two beams connected him on chest that joined with another two beams .
The force behind the beams are incredible . Scott's eye beams along with his brother's power , powerful beams from his hands , making him back down . Fortunately Clark has gem in his hand , he placed the gem against the beams , which made the beams reflect back to source . Surprisingly it didn't hurt them , which is Clark's intention but it gave them mementory stop .
That's all Clark needs now . With a burst of speed , Clark knocked them down . Magneto , who is busy fighting others , with his enhanced powers , overpowering everyone.
But one foe is having upper hand than any others . The astroid itself . The xmen disabled the all machinery , that is supporting astroid , it started rocking violently .
" Xmen " Clark called them all with loud voice to get all the attention .
" We don't have much time . Get out of from here . " Clark carried , Scott and Alex in his hands , while encasing peitro and sabertooth in ice with his ice breath , who are trying to attack him .
Clark placed them in black bird , which is a xmen plane , they came from . Others followed Clark and get in the plane .
" Professor , It's engine is malfunctioning . " Clark heard Jean telling professor .
" Professor , Don't worry . I carry the plane . Just start the plane . " Professor nodded to Jean , telling to start the plane , they can feel it is being lifted in air by Clark . Clark felt the weight but it's not much .
The gem gave him temporary power boost but what worries him is the gem made permanent change in him , and he is worrying about consequences .
Clark saw two metal globes are leaving from astroid , he used his telescopic vision to see if there is any others in astroid . There is no one in astroid .
He is glad no one died in this terrible tragedy . And he knows that changes in Scott , Alex, Magneto,mysteque, sabertooth are just temporary . He can't let the astroid fell on earth , Clark unleashed his concentrated heat vision , at same time Scott and Alex released their beams on astroid , which resulted explosion then making the astroid to small peices , which are started vapourizing while descending to earth .
Clark has to say it is beautiful scene. Clark carried entire plane to the mansion safely .
" I need to go home . " the importance of the task is evident in his face . Professor nodded . Everyone is looking at him for the expected answers .
" Guys . I explain everything later . " he ran off .
He can sense , his power boost is left . Even without boosting also it didn't took more than two minutes to reach Smallville . Jonathan Kent is doing farm work , chopping wood while Martha Kent is cooking .
" Dad , mom I know how to open my ship . " Clark went to storm cellor , followed by his parents .
Clark now know how to operate his ship now . He placed his hand on the place , which is looking like a keypad . A blue light came out , scanned his hand . Then Clark moved back , so are Kents . Three of them are looking at oval shaped golden ship with wonder , when its roof is opened for first time .
Then a blue light came out of the ship , scanning entire room , like it is searching .
" Kal-el " a voice came out of the ship .
" Identity confirmed . " Then a white beam came out and surrounded him while Kents closed their eyes because it's too much . Clark know what is happening . It is downloading kryptonian language into him .
Events that led to his planet destruction and reason he came here , sent to earth . Clark stayed in home for a day , processing everything happened to his planet .
" I am going to tell my secret to them . " Clark told his parents his decision .
Clark and his parents are at dining table , eating breakfast .
" That's huge Clark . " Jonathan commented .
" Are you sure you are ready ? " Martha asked .
" I don't know . But I want you here with me . I called everyone in institute here so I can show them my ship and explain them . " It didn't took black bird which is Xmen plane to reach Smallville .
It is fortunate that Kent's place is isolated . Everyone even Chloe excited to hear about story about what really happened in asteroid M .
Everyone is know Clark went into machine and didn't came out like Scott and Alex . His powers are enhanced but he didn't attack them and he is perfectly normal . But Kents first served them lunch which delicious as always .
After everyone is gathered at hall , some sat on sofa , some are standing . Clark know how eager they are and more suspense may kill them .
" Guys , the cytterok gem is may be originated from earth but it has alien technology in it . " Clark started .
" It can activate mutant gene or deactivate or enhance temporarily . And it did something to me . " Clark looked at them .
" How do you know so much about the gem Clark ? " Professor curiously asked .
" The gem gave me the information when I was in machine . It called me then poured information about itself in my brain somehow . "
" What did gem did to you other than enhancing your powers ? " This time Scott asked . He is wondering is there any side effects .
" I know what you are thinking Scott . It didn't do anything permanent to you or anyone else . " Clark took deep breath .
" It activated x gene in me . I am now officially mutant . " he announced .
" What do you mean you are now mutant ? "
" How do you have powers before ? "
" Why the gem not talked to anyone else ? " Everyone is asking questions at same time , professor has to say silent . Clark said thank you then continued .
" In this universe , we are not alone . And some from other planets visited this earth time to time . And from one advanced planet called Krypton also did same and they found this gem and found mystical properties of it . And they added their technology to it . Krypton is so advanced that they used birthing matrix instead of mother's womb to relive mother's from pain . When genom is developing , they can change the baby's chromosomes so they create perfect soldiers , leaders , scientists and other roles . Suddenly Krypton met evolution that x gene started develop in some people . They first welcomed it but the powers are too random and creating chaos . So using this gem they removed x gene permanently . One problem is this gem also capable of creating mutants so this gem is too dangerous so they left the gem again on planet where they found . Very backward planet called earth . " Clark looked around them . They are listening keenly .
" Krypton advanced too fast and they stopped everything that create chaos . Mystism , sorcery everything except technology . In thousands of years , their technology got more advanced . But civil war is happened in Krypton and one scientist predicted Krypton's core is destabilizing but no one listen to him . And he also thinks reason for Krypton destruction is not because of war , it's because they stopped welcoming change . What if the child wants more than he destined . So after long time a child born to the scientist and his wife , first naturally born child , child born from womb . Their little boy wonder. They thought world of him but it's too late . Krypton's end came faster than the scientist predicted . He wants save atleast family but there is no time to build a space ship that can travel galaxies . Except he built a ship that is enough for baby with help of his friend . He placed the baby in small space ship , send him to the place where he thinks it's safe place for him . " Clark looked at everyone .
Chloe and his parents figured out who is the baby , he can see the wetness in their eyes . Even Clark is having hard time telling this story like this .
He can't believe he is alone in whole universe . The burden is too much . That's why he decided to share . These people have experience in dealing with being different or alone .
" That baby is found by Jonathan and Martha Kents . Guys I am that baby . I am alien from planet called Krypton . "
" Wow . " Kurt and Kitty said it in same time .
" What happened to your planet Clark ? " Ororo asked , there is Her trademark compassion in her beautiful face and horror .
" It is exploded . The explosion destroyed entire solar system of Krypton . I am alone , I am last son of Krypton . "
" I am sorry Clark . " Chloe came to him , hugged him .
Kents joined her to comfort him . It is silent for long time but Clark has to say everything .
" There is a reason my father choose earth . It is backward planet so ship can land undetected and I will get powers because of the sun rays so I have better chance of survival . "
" You got the powers because you are alien , not because of x gene . " Logan commented . Clark simply nodded .
" Now you will have extra powers because of x gene . " Jean asked .
" I am natural born in my planet so I have x gene . The machine reversed the polarity of gem so instead of removing x gene , it activated my x gene . "
" Why only you ? " Kitty asked .
" Not only me . If anyone with x gene enters the machine , machine will activate x gene . If already activated , then it temporarily boost them . "
" In my time in future , there is no mention of x gene in you Clark . " Hope spoke .
" Probably the time is already changing , resulting me become mutant . " Clark commented .
" That's good actually . " Hope replied .
" So the powers you showed when voodoo girl came , are your alien powers , other powers are because you are mutants . " Logan told his observation .
" That's the theory . " There is a lot of murmur and chat then professor spoke .
" Clark . I want to say thank you for trusting us with your secret . This secret won't be revealed by any of us . I assure you . I will place mental blocks around everyone even in your parents so anyone with telepathic powers won't find about you . Can I ask you why you told us now ? "
" Sure professor . The main reason is I am afraid . I am different than any of you ever imagine and I don't have any experience with how to deal with powers . What if my powers became deadly ? You are the only people I know can help me . And I don't want to carry this burden alone . I actually need friends . I don't want to have any secrets . "
" We are all your friends Clark . This institute built for the same purpose you asked . "
" What about me being alien ? " Clark asked .
" This institute , I built for single purpose . I thought there should be a place where no one judge you because of your difference . If I reject you because of your alien status , the same purpose of this institute will loose . " professor replied .
" Thank you professor . Now left one last thing . I will show you my ship . " Clark announced .
Excitement is evident in everyone eyes . They all followed while Clark carried professor along with his wheel chair . Clark opened the storm cellor , behind the house .
It is full of dust and lot of tin boxes , repaired farm equipment . In the corner , something is covered by green tent . Clark removed the green tent , revealing his spaceship . It is glowing with golden colour , looking smooth . Kitty excitingly touched the ship .
" It feels like liquid . " she commented .
" The metal is frictionless . " Clark clarified her doubt .
" I thought it will be bigger . " Clark reached it .
" It is designed to send a baby through galaxies . " He touched familiar spot on ship , making it activate . Kitty moved back when she saw ship is activated . The top of ship opened , revealing inside of ship , that coated with velvet like clothing , probably for baby's comfort .
Clark touched another spot in ship then a hologram is appeared . The man looks similar to Clark but old and there is no same aura in him as Clark . His clothes also different and black robes with symbol of S in chest area .
And beside him is a very beautiful woman with blond hair with amazing blue eyes .
" Guys . These are parents . "
