Yup this is a second chapter :D

"I don't think I can do this babydoll." Alex said nervously his hands gripping the steering wheel.

They hasn't gotten back to the mansion yet because on the way back after they'd amazing detour to the California, Alex decided that before they went back to the mansion. He wanted to see his family again. Ivy supported him of course, but now that they were parked outside of his family home he was getting cold feet.

"Hey," Ivy said using the hand that was resting on the headrest behind his to scratch the back of his head. "They're gonna be so happy to see you. Trust me, you've got this."

He took a deep breath glancing up at the house before nodding, and turning the car off pulling the keys from the ignition. He climbed out and came around to Ivy's door opening it and helping her out holding her hand tight as they approached the front door. He paused and Ivy waited patiently by his side, after a moment he reached out to ring the doorbell.

There was shuffling from the other side of the door before it opened and a beautiful woman was there adjusting an earring in her ear, she opened her mouth to greet whomever was on the other side before she froze, obviously in shock.

Beside her Ivy could feel Alex trembling slightly, "Hey mom." He finally said after a long moment they spent staring at each other.

"Alex?" she whispered with a shake in her voice before she reached out placing her hand on the sides of his face like she couldn't believe he was in front of her, her eyes filled with tears slightly before she pulled him into a tight hug. Alex let go of her hand in order to hug his mother tighter, she started crying and Ivy could see Alex holding back his own tears as he hugged her tighter nearly lifting her off her feet. "Look at you." She beamed as they pulled apart and she caressed his cheeks again. "When did you get out?" she asked wiping her cheeks.

"A few months ago." He responded honestly and at her slight glare he rubbed her shoulders, "It's a long story."

She just sighed and hugged him again and as she did she noticed Ivy standing quietly by his side with a smile on her face. "Who's this beautiful girl?" she asked with another smile.

They pulled apart again and Alex had a big smile on his face that was neither identical to the one on his mother's, "Mom, this is my girlfriend Ivy. Ivy this is my mom."

"Hi," Ivy said brightly holding out her hand for a handshake, "It's so nice to meet you, Mrs. Summers."

"Well you're gorgeous," she said wiping her eyes, "Please call me Elaine." She added bypassing the handshake and pulling Ivy in for a hug. "Come inside, please come inside." She said quickly when they pulled apart and ushering them into the house. "Henry, come here!" she yelled into the house, leading them to the living room.

From the other side of the living room the glass door slid open and a man that looked exactly like Alex's future walked in whipping his hands on a towel. When he looked up he too froze at the sight of the couple in his living room, mainly on one of them.

"Son?" he breathed before he quickly crossed the room and pulled his son into an embrace. Elaine was crying again so Ivy placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, we're being rude." Elaine said wiping her eyes again.

"Its okay." Ivy said with a smile.

"Henry," she snapped breaking the discussion that the father and son were having once they broke from their embrace. "We have a guest here, this is Alex's girlfriend."

"Wow, son." He said looking up with kind smile, "Nice." He said holding out his fist for a first bump, which Alex reciprocated with an embarrassed smile.

"Nice to meet you."

"I'm Ivy."

"Welcome to our home."

Apparently they'd arrived just before lunch so they were invited outside into the backyard. Most of the lunch was spent with the family catching up while they politely asked Ivy a few questions. They were sat at a picnic table with Alex and Ivy on one side and Mr. and Mrs. Summers on the other.

"Are you like Alex?" Elaine asked kindly while the men carried on a different conversation beside them.

"I am." Ivy responded honestly, what was the point of even lying.

"What can you do?"

"I can control manipulate nature, plants and things like that."

"That's amazing. Well I love gardening so I think we're going to get along great."

"I've noticed, those lilies are absolutely beautiful." Ivy said gesturing to the bouquet resting on the side if the table.

"Thank you."

"You know what mom, I really missed your cooking." Alex told her mother.

"Well I'm not gonna let you go long without it again, every Sunday from now on. Deal?"

"Deal."

"Your cooking reminds me of the food at the home where I grew up."

"You're an orphan?"

"Of sorts, my mother wasn't all that understanding of my gifts." Ivy explained and beneath the table Alex rested a hand on her knee..

"I'm so sorry."

"Its okay, I ended up somewhere much better."

"And your father?" Henry Summers asked politely.

"I never knew him." Ivy said with a shrug.

"Well now at least it seems like you found where you belong now."

"Yeah," she agreed with a smile reaching down to cover Alex's hand, "It does."

Finally, after longer then they'd intended to be away from the mansion they were back. After almost a month and half they were walking back through the doors. Surprisingly there were ready a number of students roaming the halls when they went further into the mansion.

Almost as soon as they entered, they heard the professors voice in their head asking them to come down to his study. So that was where they went first.

When they arrived Hank and Sean were already there lounging around while the professor sat comfortably behind his desk.

"Hey!" Sean beamed, "They're back." He said jumping up from the small couch, he approached them pulling Ivy into a hug first then clapping Alex's hand and pulling him into a quick hug too.

Ivy moved deeper into the office and surprisingly was pulled into a short warm hug from Hank as well.

"How was your trip?" the professor asked kindly after Ivy hugged him as well.

"I think you already know." She teased good naturedly, "It was really fun, we met so many great people."

"And great mutants." Charles added, "A number of the students that arrived have said that you two helped convince them."

Ivy smiled as Alex came up behind her and shook Charles' hand with a smile, "Good to have you back Alex."

"Glad to be back."

"How are you parents?" Charles asked with a slight twinkle in his eye.

"Really good."

"Splendid, and now that your both here. There's something Hank and I have been waiting to show you."

"And he means it." Sean whined from behind them. "I got back a couple days ago and they won't tell me what the big surprise is."

"All in good time." Charles said as he wheeled himself from behind his desk, with a motorized wheelchair, definitely not the manual one that he had when they left, "Courtesy of Hank." Charles said answering her silent question while patting the fancy wheelchair.

Then he led them from the office with three of them following behind silently albeit slightly confused but curious as to what the professor could have to show them.

"You all remember at the CIA base, the machine that Hank developed I'm order to safely track mutants?" Charles asked as he led them into an elevator.

"Yeah," Ivy answered remembering the conversations she'd had with Hank and how proud he was of his invention before it was dropped apart by Riptipe when Shaw attacked the base, "Cerebro right?"

"Yes exactly." Charles said as the elevator stopped and opened to a blue tinted hallway. They exited he began leading them down as he continued explaining, "Well this room was built down here by my father and I've never had much use for it. We plan to eventually convert some of the spare rooms into training rooms and medical facilities. But what we have done so far, is this," he said as he rolled to a stop at the end of the hallway where there was a massive 'X' embedded into the wall. Turns out it wasn't just a part of the wall as a think blue light shot out and shined on Charles's eye. Then the X slid open to reveal a huge blue room, a single long pathway suspended through the middle. The professor rolled in and after a few seconds of gawking the others joined him.

"Welcome to the new and improved Cerebro." Charles announced happily as the doors slid closed behind them.

"Badass." Sean said in awe.

"Hank?" Ivy asked, "You built this?"

"Well I-" he began bashfully shrugging his furry blue shoulders, "Yeah." He finally said nodding.

"It's amazing."

"You guys haven't even seen the best part yet." Hank said brushing carefully past them to the controls, "Professor?" he said handing him the helmet that connected to the control panel.

Charles placed it on his head and Hank pushed a few buttons before the room lit up with white, and all around them were human like figures suspended in the air that were lit up white.

"Now with this Cerebro my mind is connected to every living being on the planet, these are the humans." He said as the figures rotated and then they were red, "These are the mutants."

"Wow." Ivy breathed as they all gazed at the massive number of mutants that were in the world.

"Its like I told you all," Charles said with pride, "Our kind, are not nearly as alone as you think."

And that officially brings us to the end of the 'First Class' storyline. The next chapter is gonna be a bit of a time jump, and there might be like 3ish, more chapters before we get into the 'Days of Future Past' storyline. Which I already have started.

I have a couple surprises planned for the next few chapters so I hope you guys are ready. But still feel free to let me know what you'd like to see in DOFP.

As always let me know what you think and what you'd like to see in the future.
