"Going Back to School"
Chapter 4



Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
Westchester, New York

A month had passed since Mutant X had joined the X-Men in Westchester, New York and they were getting along perfectly, the first week was what was the hardest. Brennan, Scott, and Jesse enjoyed hanging out and doing guy things like football and watching football. While Jean, Emma, Shalimar, and Ororo enjoyed talking about the guys, shopping, and watching movies. Adam and Professor Xavier had become used to relying on each other and their experiments were going quite well. The children had come to know the New Mutants and Xavier was preparing them to become teachers at the school while they were there. Ororo already taught World History, Scott taught Auto Shop, Jean had a math class, and the professor taught Physics. So, Adam taught biology, Emma taught a writing class, Shalimar taught self defense, Jesse had a computer class, and Brennan had a sports class.

After all of Mutant X was ready to actually teach a class, the professor introduced whoever was teaching before each class.




EMMA'S CLASS
"WRITING"


"Good morning class," Professor Xavier started. "As you all know we have five new teachers here, so let me introduce your teacher for this writing class. Please welcome Miss deLauro."

"Good morning Miss deLauro," the kids said in unison. Her first class that day was of the youngest at the institute and the last class was the oldest.

"I expect you all to behaive as you would for me," the professor said before leaving Emma to her class.

"Hello, and welcome to writing. Why don't we go around the room and have everyone introduce themselves so I can learn your names?" Emma suggested looking around at her class of fifteen students. "Who would like to start?"

"I will!" a small girl with brown hair raised her hand.

"Okay, please stand and tell me your name and something about yourself."

"Yes, Miss deLauro. Hi, my name is Alysia DeLanso. This is my first year here and my gift is making inadament objects into different inadament objects."

"Oh, well thank you Alysia. Who's next?"

"Hi, I'm Robert Advent and my gift is..." and so on they all announced who they were and most were first year students and then told Emma their gift. All of Emma's classes went the same way throughout the day.




BRENNAN'S CLASS
"SPORTS"


"Come on! Come on Kayla just kick the ball, it won't hurt you!" Brennan yelled trying to incourage one of his more non-outgoing students. "Kayla, Kayla come here." Kayla walked over to her new teacher with her eyes focused solely on her feet.

"Yes, Mr. Mulwray?" she asked in a snivelly voice.

"You're not in the whole throwing and catching thing are you?" he asked her.

"No, sir. I'm sorry."

"No, no it's okay. I just thought of a really good job for you."

"Really?" she asked suddenlly brightening her spirits.

"How about assistant coach and score keeper?" Brennan asked.

"Really? Me!?" she asked happily, but then returned her eyes to her shoes. "Maybe you should find someone better for those jobs."

"No, I want you Kayla, don't you want to be my assistant and score keeper?" Brennan asked.

"Won't the teams be uneven then?"

"No, not anymore."

"Okay, then I'll be your assistant and score keeper."

"Good. There's two things I've got to teach you first."

"What?"

"First of all, never look down or away from anyone. We wouldn't want you to hide that beautiful face of yours," he told her getting her to smile at him.

"And second?" Kayla asked.

"You gotta learn how to yell."

"Yell? For what?"

"Watch," Brennan told her and then yelled to the kids on the field, "okay everyone listen up I've got an announcement to make!" The kids hurried and surrounded Brennan. "Okay, I've got to introduce the new Assistant Coach and Score Keeper who will be Kayla. So, I expect you all to do whatever Kayla tells you, understand?" All of the kids nodded their heads. "Good. So, Kayla is it time for class to be dismissed?"

"Yes."

"Give the word."

"Class dismissed," Kayla yelled to the class and watched them leave.



JESSE'S CLASS
"COMPUTERS"


"Okay class now we're going to go over rules in the classroom. Now these computers are all brand new and purchased for this class especially. So, we're going to set up everyone and e-mail account, so why doesn't everyone think of a screen name. Once e-mail is set up you can check it only when I say that you may. Mostly this class can be used to research things for others classes and if anyone would like to know how to do power point or web sites we can learn how to do that also, so why don't I pass out the forms for the e-mail accounts. You fill out your full name, what class period you're in and two choices for a screen name. Tomorrow I'll have everyone's account set up and you can start recieving e-mail. Anyone have a question?"

"Mr. Kilmartin, what if we have friends or family that we would like to e-mail, can we e-mail them?" Bobby Drake asked the new teacher.

"Of course, if any of you would like I'll send e-mails to those people with your new address tonight, just write it at the bottom and write what their name is and I'll put it in your address book. Okay, any other questions?"

"Is power point hard to learn?" a girl in the class asked.

"No, not at all, it's actually really alot of fun once you've got it down. Okay, class is dismissed."




SHALIMAR'S CLASS
"SELF DEFENSE"



"Okay, so does everyone understand the rules?" Shalimar asked.

"What if someone starts a fight here?" a boy asked.

"In class?"

"No, just at school."

"Then you try to get them to stop using words and if they don't you call for a teacher, use what I teach you as a last resort, understand?"

"Yes, Miss Fox."

"Has anyone here had some kind of training in self defense or martial arts at all?" Shalimar asked the class. Everyone just shook their heads. "Okay, then everyone in this class is a beginner. Good. So, we'll start with techniques tomorrow. So, how has everyone's day gone so far?"

"I have soo much homework in history!" a blonde girl told her.

"Yeah, me too!" the boy who had asked the question agreed.

"Well, is anyone here really good at history?" Shalimar asked.

"Me! I am!" a boy she remembered was named Phillip raised his hand and shouted out.

"Phillip, why don't you earn some brownie points by helping out your classmates with history?"

"Okay, but does anyone know math well?" Phillip asked.

"I do, my name's Todd by the way and so does Macy," he said.

"Good, so Phillip you help Todd and Macy and they'll help you in math. Anyone else having trouble in other classes?"

"Me!"

"Math too!"

"Physics!"

"Okay, okay. Then for the last ten minutes we have right now everyone find at least one study buddy." Shalimar said as she watched her class ask for who was good or who needed help in their classes.




ADAM'S CLASS
"BIOLOGY"


"Excuse me, but shouldn't we call you by your last name?" a young red haired boy asked Adam.

"Usually, but if it makes you feel better then you can call me Mr. Adam or Dr. Adam, but I prefer Adam."

"Okay."

"Why don't I tell you all about were I and the other new teachers come from and why they are different from all of you. My field is genetics and I used to work at a place called Genomex, well about twenty years ago we injected alot of young children with what they thought were vaccines that would save their children, but really gave them New Mutant powers."

"You mean Mr. Kilmartin and the others aren't like us? It's not an evolutionary step for them?"

"Well, it is because we at Genomex had made it be, but no in the way of naturally. So, when they all starting growing up sometimes they need help so I left Genomex because of what we had done and denied it. I help New Mutants and I lead--well led a team, your teachers, called Mutant X against the Genetic Security Agency who want to destroy New Mutants."

"So, Mutant X is like the X-Men?"

"I suppose in a way it is."

"Cool!"

"So, all of our teachers are super heroes!"

"Well, not all. I am not a New Mutant," Adam told them.

"But you're still a good guy and are the leader like the professor."





LUNCHTIME


"So, how were all your classes?" Jean Grey asked the other teachers who had all sat together.

"Great," Jesse answered.

"Yeah, me too," Emma agreed.

"My kids are setting up a buddy tutoring system," Shalimar shared.

"Very impressive," Xavier told her.

"How about you Adam?" Shalimar asked.

"The kids are great, I told them about the GSA and Mutant X."

"So, they know?" Jesse asked.

"It's not like we're Mutant X really right now. They love all their teachers-- you're all so cool because you're all super heroes!" Adam told them. "How about your class Brennan."

"Coach Brennan?" Kayla called from next to Emma. "The other kids don't want to eat with me can I eat here? Please?"

"Of course! Here sit next to me," Brennan said scooting over so Kayla could pull up a chair.

"Thank you."

"Here, let me introduce you. You know everyone right?" Brennan asked and she nodded. "Well, everyone this is my new assistant coah and score keeper, Kayla."

"Very important job," Jesse told her.

"Yes and I can yell and everything."

"You yell?" Scott asked surprised.

"Coach Brennan's teaching me."

"Good, and he even picked one of my best math students," Jean told Kayla.

"Maybe you could be a tutor for some of the students, Kayla," Shalimar suggested.
