Oh man does my head hurt. I wish these people didn't talk so loud; wait a minute this isn't an ambulance.
"Where the hell am I?" I growled. "So our fireproof friend finally wakes up." "Fireproof?"
As I said this my vision started clearing up. At this point I could finally see who was talking, it was the bald guy from the lecture, and the people from the hallway.
"How are you feeling Mister Driscoll?" Asked Professor Xavier politely Ouch! Last name I hate that!
"The name is Scilen and I feel like I was hit by a bulldozer."
"That could be because a gas sent you through two brick walls." Shades said smiling "Good thing your mutation makes you tough or you'd be a blotchy smear on the bathroom wall."
"What? Explosion? Mutation? Tell me something Shades, are you on crack?" I asked confused.
"Sorry sugah, but welcome to the rank of Homo Superior" Goddess (Rouge) said in a southern twang.
"Me? A mutant? Don't think so, Scarlet O'Hara, now what happened?" I asked hysterically
"Perhaps a video record of what happened would clear things. Ororo if you would please show the video from the school surveillance, that we appropriated." Xavier asked looking at the regal looking black woman
"Of course professor." Ororo replied.
At this point I realized I was in a limo.
"Hey is there anything to drink in here? I'm really thirsty." I said as I rubbed my hand through my hair
"Of course, Scott would you please hand Mister Driscoll, I mean Scilen, a glass of water." Xavier said to the guy with the shades on.
Man, he loves to give orders doesn't he?
Shades reached for a bottle of water.
"Thanks, Shades." I said before taking a large drink
"My name is Scott." he said irritably
"Right, Shades."
The goddess kind of giggled under her breath and smiled. And, oh man what a smile it is too.
"Professor the tapes are ready."
"Now Scilen I believe that these tapes will convince you of what we are telling you. So, if you would please just watch them for a minute. Jean, if you would."
" These are a little shaky because of the explosion." Jean said as she fiddled with the VCR.
"Whatever just push play!" I said growling again
Smiling she hit play and the tape started. It showed me walking up and seeing these guys, them walking away, me going into the bathroom and then a few seconds later the Jock came in. After a few more seconds passed the video shook violently and a fireball erupted from the bathrooms open door, immediately followed by me, as I exploded through the restroom's brick wall and through the wall of a classroom across the way, also brick. At this point someone in the vehicle pressed pause, as people on the video came out of classes screaming.
"What happened?" I asked quietly.
"It was a gas explosion, little one, we do not as yet know what set it off, and we're still working on it. Your mutant abilities saved your life. The other boy, God rest his soul, wasn't so lucky." Ororo replied tears in her eyes.
That upset me; Sean wasn't actually that bad a guy. He never messed with me. I can't say we were friends, but I was sorry that he died.
"Now Scilen, do you believe what we are telling you? Only a mutant, and an alpha class mutant at that, could have lived through that with out suffering severe damage. Let alone none at all. Now I believe that we should go see your mother and father and explain what has transpired." Xavier said in a calm voice
"My parents are dead. Take a right at the corner, my uncle lives down the block, he's my guardian." I said quickly
"Very well."
A few minutes later we pull up in front of my uncles house. As we head up to the front porch, I notice what bad condition my clothes are in, damn and I really liked this shirt, at least my wallet had somewhat survived the ordeal. Knocking as I walked in.
"Yo Unck, are you in here? There are some people here that need to talk to you." I yelled
"Invite them in, I'll be there in a moment." My Uncle yelled back from upstairs
"Okay."
"Anybody thirsty? We got milk, Pepsi and water." I asked as I got them situated in the living room.
Ororo: "A glass of water would be nice."
Goddess (Rogue): "Pepsi for me, sugah."
"No prob, be right back." I said walking in to the kitchen.
As I walked into the kitchen my uncle walked in from upstairs. I grabbed the drinks and headed back into the living room and handed them to the women.
"Thank you," they both chorused.
"No problem."
"My name is Charles Xavier and I run a school for mutants in Westchester, New York. Your nephew was in an accident this morning that revealed to us, and everyone else, that he was in fact a mutant. Now, I would like for him to come to New York with us, back to my school where he might learn to control these emerging abilities." Xavier stated to my uncle like this happened everyday
"First, do you know what his abilities are?" My uncle asked slowly taking in what Xavier said
"Not entirely, no. We do know that he has a strong mutation or else he would not have survived the explosion unharmed as he has, but as to what his powers might be, we require further testing to ascertain that."
"Explosion? Never mind, well Mr. Xavier I agree with you it would be best if Scilen went with you."
"Now what a minute." I said cutting in
"Now, listen to me Scilen, no arguments. This town is not safe for mutants, that damn F.O.H. has a firm grip here. Now go get anything of yours that is here, then you guys can head over to your place to grab the rest of you stuff." My uncle said in a tone of voice that recognized as his "no arguments" voice
"Yeah, fine, whatever."
I went and grabbed my sunglasses and my other trench coat, color and design. Then I said goodbye to my uncle, promising to call him as soon as I got to New York and was unpacked. We swung by my place to grab the rest of my stuff.
"C'mon in, I got change." I said as could at the moment
"Nice place, don't you ever clean?" Scott said sarcastically
"Yeah, in a blue moon or leap year. I'm 16 give me a break okay! Hey, Shades is there a uniform at this school?"
"No, why?" he asked
"Because I've only got my trench, that I never go anywhere without, faded jeans and t-shirts." I replied,
"Well, we can deal with that when we get to New York sugar." The goddess (Rogue) said smiling for some reason.
"Okay. By the way, what is your name, for future reference?" I asked, slightly nervous because of that smile for some reason
"Rogue"
"JESUS CHRIST!" Rogue screamed as Chaos, my cat, made a grand entry by leaping onto her shoulder.
"Damn, I wondered where you were Chaos. Um, guys I need to know if he can come?" I asked worried that I'd have to leave him behind
At this point, Chaos, curled up on Rogue's lap and was chewing on one of Rogue's fingers purring.
"No problem, as long as you have a cat carrier." Jean said sensing my worry
"Yeah, I got one upstairs."
After getting Chaos settled into the carrier, I got dressed and packed. Then we headed to the airport. Man this day keeps getting crummier and crummier.
