Chapter 7: the x-men

It's been three weeks since I helped SHIELD with the wannabe gods. Darcy and me have been doing well in our relationship. Well it was until Darcy asked me if I want to have a polyamory relationship. Then I got nervous. This is the second relationship I've ever had. And my last one was a disaster. I don't want to mess this one up too. But, I also have a crush on Skye ever since the whole accidental sleeping on the same couch. But, what if this wreaks my current relationship. Argh, this is so confusing.

It's also been two weeks since the government revealed the fact that mutants exist. They've been keeping us a secret for decades. I went on a train to get closer to Stark tower. I need to talk to someone before my head explodes. I then see someone who I haven't seen in a very long time. Logan. He is on the same train as me with a girl. I can't help but stare. I then shake my head. I need to get my head out of the drain.

"Hey, kid," Logan says to the girl. He then sits on the seat next to her. "I'm sorry about last night," he says.

"Me, too," she says.

"You running again?" Logan asks.

"I heard the professor was mad at me," she says.

"Who told you that?" Logan asks.

"A boy at school," she says. "You think I should go back."

"I think you should follow your instincts," Logan says.

"The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks," the girl says. Logan, from my time, had told me all about his friends in the x-men. Including a girl who could drain life force from skin contact. This must be her. What was her name…. Rogue. "I can still feel him inside my head. And it's the same with you," Rogue says. Rogue puts her hoodie covered head on Logan's shoulder.

"There's not many people who understand what you're going through. But I think this guy Xavier's one of them. He seems to genuinely wanna help you. And that's a rare thing. For people like us," Logan says. Rogue looks at Logan then the train rattles and Rogue gets off of him. "Ok so, what do ya say? Give these geeks one more shot? Come on, I'll take care of you," Logan says.

"You promise?" Rogue asks.

"Yeah. Yeah, I promise," Logan says.

The train slows down until it stops. Logan and me stand up. Rogue gets up too. Then a case flips with no outside help. Then the door starts to rattle. The lights flicker. Then the back of the train is ripped open. Causing all of the non-mutant passengers to scream. A man in a metal helmet and a cape hovers in, Magneto. Logan's claws extend out of his hands. "You must be Wolverine," Magneto says. Logan tries to walk over to Magneto but Magneto freezes him. "That remarkable metal doesn't run through your entire body, does it?" Magneto asks. Magneto makes Logan's arms go straight out to each side. Magneto bends Logan's claw causing him pain.

"Stop! Stop it!" Rogue shouts. I then fire a beam of electricity at Magneto knocking him back. Magneto then uses his power to push Logan's hand towards me, and his claws dig into my shoulder. Then Magneto pulls Logan's claws out of me. The wound was painful, but not enough to kill, especial with my enhanced healing. It should be healed in a few hours.

"What the hell do you want with me?" Logan asks.

"You? my dear boy!" Magneto says, laughing a bit. "Whoever said I wanted you?" Logan looks to a shocked and scared Rogue. Magneto then uses his power to push Logan into a wall. Rogue makes a run for it. Magneto uses his power to make a needle in his pocket fly and then fly into Rogue, knocking her out.

"Let her go… you son of….. a…. bitch," I say before fainting from blood loss.

Scene change.

I wake up to see a red head. "M-m-m-mis-s-ss," I stutter, as I regain consciousness.

"Hello," she says.

"Where am I?" I ask. I struggle to sit up. "Who are you?"

"Where at Charles Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. I'm Jean," the red head says.

"I'm Declan," I say.

"Well, Declan. Do you have any idea where Magneto went?" Jean asks.

"No," I say. I pause. "But I have a good guess where he's going to be," I say.

Jean raises an eyebrow. A man in a wheelchair walks in and rolls over to someone on a table next to me. "Senator Kelly. I'm professor Charles Xavier," the man in the wheelchair says to the on the table next to me.

"I was afraid if I went to a hospital, they would…," the man, Senator Kelly says, before being cut off by Charles.

"Treat you like a mutant. We're not what you think. Not all of us," Charles says.

"Tell it to the ones who did this to me," Senator Kelly says.

"Senator," Charles says, as he moves to in front of Kelly's head. "I want you to try and relax," Charles says.

Scene change.

"The machine emits radiation that triggers mutation in ordinary human beings," Charles says.

"But the mutation is unnatural. Kelly's body is rejecting it. His cells began to break down almost immediately," Jean says.

"What would it do to mutants?" I ask.

"Nothing that we know of. But I fear it will seriously harm any normal person exposed to it," Charles says.

"So what does Magneto want with Rogue?" Logan asks.

"I don't know," Charles says. Logan walks over to the door.

"Wait a second. You said this machine draws its power from Magneto. And it weakened him," Scott says.

"Yes, in fact, it nearly killed him," Charles says.

"He's going to transfer his power to Rogue and use her to power the machine," Logan says.

"Cyclops, you and Storm ready the jet. I'm gonna find Rogue. Jean, get Logan a uniform," Charles says.

"Wait a minute, he's not coming with us, is he?" Cyclops says.

"Yes," Charles says.

"I'm sorry, but he'll endanger the mission and…,"

"Yeah, I wasn't the one who gave the station a new sunroof, pal," Logan says. Yep, that's defiantly Logan.

"No, you were the one who stabbed Rogue through the chest," Cyclops says.

"Scott, hey, why don't you take your little mission and stick it up your…," Logan says, but is cut off by Storm opening the door.

"Senator Kelly is dead," she says.

"I'm going to find her," Charles says. "Settle this," he says to Logan and Scott.

"So, wait, am I going on this mission with you to find Rogue?" I ask.

"No, we don't even know you," Cyclops says. "How do we even know you aren't working for Magneto?"

"Maybe because I haven't punched any of your teeth out yet," I reply, giving him a glare.

"I'm sorry, mister Diaz, but Scotts right, we have no idea who you are and if we can trust you," Charles says.

"Then I better be off," I say. I walk out of the mansion. Once I get outside, I stop. I breathe, in and out. My eyes change to bright, bright blue. I feel my entire body tingle. I start to glow as I transform into pure energy. I then fly off.

Scene change.

I walk into a room to see Storm fighting a green toad guy, Jean with a slime thing on her face, making her unable to breathe, and the boys are nowhere to be found. I walk over to Jean. "Hey, it's me," I say, gaining her attention. "I need you to stand very still," I say. I then fire a concentrated beam of energy at the at the slime on Jean's face. Jean gasps for air. "Sorry, I would've helped sooner, but I had some difficulties getting here since you ditched me," I say. Cyclops walks over to me.

"What are you doing here?" he asks.

"Saving Rogue," I say. "And you guys apparently," I mumble. I look to Toad, about to try and stop him, when I hear lightning. I see the elevator door open up and Storm flying up with lightning surrounding her. Man, does she know how to make an entrance.

"Don't you people ever die?" Toad asks as he rushes over to Storm. Storm hovers out of the elevator and lands a few meters in front of Toad. Toad tries to continue moving forward but the wind Storm is creating is pushing him and other objects backwards. Toad grips onto the floor but soon losses his grip and gets sent flying out the window. Toad grips a metal railing with his tongue to stop himself flying into the ocean. Storm walks closer, shattering the windows.

"Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else," Storm says. Then a lightning bolt hits the railing toad is hanging onto. Toad screams as he lets go and flies off into the ocean. When she turns around she sees me just standing there watching in awe. I blush and look away.

Scene change.

We enter a new room and the x-men look out a hole in the wall at the statue of liberty's candle. "Everyone get out of here," Logan says.

"What is it?" Storm asks.

"I can't move," Logan says, he is then flung into the wall. Pieces of metal fly at us. Cyclops tries to blast them but one hit Storm and straps her to the wall. I create a blade of electricity but Magneto hits me bashing me next to Storm and then straps me to the wall with my body facing Storm. Magneto does the same to Jean and Scott. Making Scott face Jean. Magneto floats in.

"Ah, my brothers. Welcome," Magneto says. He then turns to Logan. "And you, let's just point those claws in a safer direction," Magneto says. The straps on Logan fall off and Logan's hands reluctantly move on top of his chest. Then the metal straps hold him again. Sabretooth then lands next to Magneto. Magneto then turns to Scott. "You better close your eyes," he says. Sabretooth then steals the glasses from Cyclops.

"Storm fry 'em," Cyclops orders.

"Oh yes. A bolt of lightning into a huge cooper conductor. I thought you lived at a school," Magneto says.

"Mystique?" Magneto asks into his comms. "Mystique!" he asks, again.

"I've seen Senator Kelly," Jean says.

"So, the good Senator survived his fall. And the swim to shore," Magneto says, walking closer to Jean. "He's becoming more powerful than I imagined," he says.

"He's dead," Jean says.

"It's true," Storm says. Magneto walks over to Storm. "I saw him die. Like those people down there will die," she says.

"Are you sure you saw what you saw? Why do none of you understand what I'm trying to do? Those people down their control our fate and the fate of every other mutant! Well. Soon our fate will be theirs," Magneto says.

"Help! Please help me!" we can hear Rogues screams.

"You're so full of shit. If you were really so righteous, it'd be you in that thing," Logan says.

"Help! Somebody help me!" Rogue shouts. Magneto flies upwards, onto the candle of the statue of liberty. "Please!" Rogue shouts. Sabretooth snarls. "Somebody please help me! Somebody! Help me…" Rogue shouts. Logan then stabs himself in the chest to cut the metal restraints holding him to the wall.

"Logan!" Jean and me both shout. Sabretooth carefully walks over to a motionless Logan. Sabretooth picks him up and Logan then stabs him in the chest. Sabretooth the pulls Logan's claws out and throws him out of the room. Sabretooth jumps out after him. I then get an idea. I slow my breathing and focus. I feel my body shrink as it transforms into an orb of electricity. I fly away from my restraints and then transform back to normal. Jean and Storm look at me in surprise.

"I know, I'm full of surprises," I say, as I rip Storm's restraints off. I then look at Storm. "I'll help them, you help Logan," I say. She nods. She flies up to Logan and Sabretooth while I remove then restraints on Jean.

"What, you're not going to say thank you for saving your *** two times today?" I ask. I hear a bolt of lightning hit something. Storm flies in and Logan drops down next to her. "I'm shore that Sabretooth is quite shocked to see you," I say to Storm. Storm rolls her eyes. Logan gives Cyclops his glasses back. "Get it?" I ask.

"Hilarious," she says. We then hear Rogue scream as a machine spins inside the statue of liberty's candle causing it to fall to pieces revealing the machine with Rogue inside. I transform into energy and fly up to the machine Rogue is in. the machine starts taking effect releasing a beam of energy. Magneto tries to send me back to the ground with his powers but since I'm made of electricity I've got no metal on me, and his power is useless against me. I then fly into him, electrocuting him, not enough to kill him but enough to render him unconscious. I then fly out of him and transform back to normal. I jump into the machine. I see part of Rogue's hair starts turning white. I create a sword made of energy and I hit these metal things absorbing energy out of Rogue. The beam of energy the machine is releasing disappears. I grab Rogue. I see she isn't moving.

"Come on…. Don't die on me," I say. I touch my hand against her head. I don't feel any ill effects. I put my second hand on her head. I still don't feel anything. I hear Rogue gasp. I let her go and hold onto her clothed wrist. "You alright?" I ask.

"I… I'm fine," she says, in surprise that I can touch her.

Scene change.

I'm sitting in the med bay on a table while Jean does a medical checkup on me. "I told you multiple times, I'm fine," I say.

"Well, most people who touch Rogue almost die so, we just want to make sure you're alright," Jean says. After a couple of minutes Jean finishes. "Your complete unharmed b Rogue's touch. For whatever reason you seem to be unaffected by her touch," Jean says.

"So, I can go now?" I ask.

"Yes," She says. I grab my shirt and put it on before walking out. When I get up to the school part of the mansion I see Rogue. She walks over.

"Are you alright?" she asks.

"Yeah, for some reason, I can't be harmed by your ability," I say. Rogue looks at me in shock. I smile. "Yeah, it must be surprising to found out you can touch someone again without harming them," I say. I then touch the white strand of hair.

"I kinda like it," Rogue says. I let out a small laugh.

"Me too," I say. Then, much to my surprise, she pulls me into a kiss.

"Get a room," I hear someone say. We break the kiss to see Scott standing in front of us.

"What did I say about punching your teeth out," I say, angrily.

"Don't," Rogue and Jean say. We then see Logan head for the door. And Rogue walks over to talk to him. Storm and Charles walk/ wheel over to the three of us.

"Thank you Mr. Diaz. You were a huge help today. If you would like, there is a place for you on the x-men," he says.

"Well, I'll think on it, but I've got some things to do. I'll let you know when I decide," I say.

"Well thank you for helping my x-men, and if you need help, let me know," Charles says, and we shake hands.

"Thank you for saving my life," Jean says. I smile.

I turn to Scott and offer my hand. We shake hands. "You know, I still don't like you but, you're getting a little bit more… tolerable," I say.

"Well we agree on something," Scott says. I chuckle at that. I then turn to Storm.

"It'd be nice to have you around," Storm says.

"Don't worry, even if I don't join the team, I'll be around from time to time," I say. Storm smiles. I walk over to Rogue. "Rogue," I say. She looks at me. "There's some things I need to do and places I need to go. My life is really, really complicated. But I'll try to come over as often as I can," I say. "But I don't want to do it if it'll upset you," I say.

"I'm fine with it, as long as you explain why to me next time you come over," she says. I smile and give her a small peck on the mouth.

"I can't wait," I say.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I tried to keep everyone in character. Tell me if I got anyone OOC. Also, as the story goes on would you like me to do more on Delcan's past. Please give me advice, and until next time, Ant-boy out.
