Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men Evolution or anything else in this story except Bryan, Jack, and Simon Youngst, and Samantha Ingst.

                Just before you start reading, I'm going to slow down on the whole Bryan/Jack/Simon deal for a few chapters. I know, it was just really starting to pick up, too. But something tells me to add in a couple of filler chapters. So, hope you enjoy. It's more a stab at comedy/romance, and I'll hopefully get chars more in character then they have been. I promise though, it's not going to be that bad (hopefully…) nor is it going to be too long, either.

Story Chapter 9-Guest

                It had been two weeks since Jack had left the Institute, and Bryan had become much a more people person, or so everyone in the mansion told him. A few days ago Bryan encountered the legendary Wolverine that everyone seemed to be talking about, and Bryan pissed him off when he got Xavier to get him out of the danger room session. Bryan had yet to go to that room, and he was wondering if Xavier was keeping him out for a reason, he doubted he would know anytime soon.

                Him and Kurt were watching TV when there argument started.

                "Man, vhat are you smoking? It's so obvious!" Kurt said towards him.

                "Bluey, you're the only one in the universe that thinks that! The only one!" Bryan replied.

                "Vhatever, your just in denial, everyone knows he's a nerd!" Kurt screamed at him.

                Bryan held an intense look in his eye. "Kurt, does being blue alter your choice making methods or something? Because I swear to god, your wrong!" At this time everyone in the room was paying attention to them, and Jean had come into the room, probably to the professors request.

                "Does living vith a psycho brother make you think this vay?" Kurt asked. Normally Bryan would have killed anyone who said this, but he had changed in one day.

                "Uh, uh, I don't know. But the fact remains that you are wrong!" Bryan screamed back at him.

                "Boys, what are you two arguing about?" Jean interrupted, and now practically the entire house was looking at them.

                "Man, bluey here thinks that Butthead is actually more funny that Beavis! That's a crime!" The entire house started bursting into laughter.

                "What?" She asked shocked.

                "I know, I was the exact same when he told me that…" Jean cut him off with her finger.

                "I mean, you two start yelling at each other for that?" She said still dumbfounded.

                Kurt couldn't help but busting up, but Bryan decided to continue. "What? It's a perfectly sane argument. I mean, Beavis owns Butthead. It's a part of life's natural order." Bryan finished.

                Jean through her hands in the air and walked out with a screeching scream that made Bryan and Kurt cover there ears, and the rest of the kids were still laughing.

                They decided to watch some South Park, because Bryan decided that the money Xavier first gave him was much more better off spent on this.

                A few others joined them. Kurt was still with him. The two were now roommates, and when Bryan first started talking, Kurt was happy, as he had no one to really mock that could actually joke with him without worrying if he had gone to far, and both of them made agreements to tell one another if one or the other wasn't in the joking mood.

                "Man, Ah can't believe you watch somethin' so immature." Rogue commented.

                "Believe it. This is the stuff I've lived off watching for four years, that and breaking into concerts. We always did stuff when Simon wasn't around." Bryan commented. His memory was still pretty vague on what those events were, but he remembered watching lots of South Park, and going to lots of concerts.

                "At least your brothers out doin somethin' he believes in." Rogue commented. Bryan had heard this practically every day, and was tired of it.

                "You know Rogue, if you think that so much, why don't you go follow him? I bet you would love sleeping on the street, and then talking to every beggar on the street just to see if you can get word, and then when you think you found them, there magically not there. And not to mention having a cheese sandwich every four days, plus drinking water strait from the sewer. I bet you would love that life." Bryan said defensively, and everyone had gotten quiet.

                "Ah didn't mean anythin' by that." Rogue said apologetically.

                Bryan sighed. "I know. Sorry I lashed out at you. I'm just trying to forget about everything in that life." Bryan said almost sad.

                "Well, if in the last life you liked Beavis, something was still wrong with you." Kurt said with a smile, obviously trying to change the tone of the room.

                "Bluey, only in your eyes." Bryan said sarcastically.

                Within a few moments there was an advertisement for a rock concert on the TV, and Kurt and the kid Bobby both put up their fingers and yelled out "Jesus Rocks!"

                Bryan was practically on the floor at this moment, and he didn't notice it, but so was Rogue. "Vhat? Everytime we do that Rogue always laughs, but you too, Bryan?" Kurt said, and Bobby wore a frown on his face as well.

                "Yeah, like I always notice that too, you guys like, wanna tell us what that's about?" Kitty said entering the room.

                Rogue was now up, and leaving the room. "Ah swore to mahself Ah would never tell yah guys, if Bryan wants to however, that's fine." Her voice faded out.

                Bryan laughed hard. "It means devil horns. Whenever you guys do that, it actually means your supposedly giving a shout out to satan." Bryan said just now getting up, and didn't see the pain on Kurt's face. When he did, Bryan was kind of shocked. Almost like he thinks he committed a sin or something. Bryan thought.

                "I've like, got a question." Kitty said. "Like, you were gone from your brother for like, four years, out of touch with civilization, and all that. How do you know so much?" She said.

                Ever since two weeks ago, Bryan could feel in her reluctance, or some kind of fear, whenever she talked to him. He knew it would happen, but it still brought a small kind of sadness to him.

                Bryan realized everyone was looking at him, and shrugged. "I never said we never got out. We just had priorities to take care of." Bryan replied.

                "Yeah, and all of you got the danger room in fifteen minutes." The voice of Logan entered.

                The kids moaned and groaned, but they all got up. "You, bub!" Logan said to Bryan. "You'll eventually be in there, too." Logan stormed out.

                Bryan sighed, and remembered that he was supposed to go to Samantha's house to get homework done. She was the only kid he talked to, still. And she didn't appear to have any problems with it either. She was the one who actually started their conversations, and for the past two weeks she seemed to like him even more. And he didn't mind that, either.

                He was surprised when Kitty came running into the living room with the telephone in her x-men outfit. "When am I going to get one of those cool lookin' outfits?" Bryan said mockingly.

                Kitty laughed. "When you like, learn to control your powers or something." Both Bryan and Kitty rolled their eyes. "Like, the phones for you, and it's Samantha." Kitty said grinning widely.

                Bryan took the phone, and waved her off, to which he got kicked in the knee for. "Hey." Bryan told her over the phone.

                "What, your parents are doing something and you have to come over here? Oh, just a minute I've gotta ask the professor really quick." Bryan went running to find the professor.

                "Yes, she may come over to do homework." Xavier told him before he even asked the question. Bryan just nodded his head in a thankful way.

                "You can come. Alright, see you in ten minutes then." Bryan told her.

                He turned off the Institute's security alarm, and waited for her to arrive. She knocked on the door fifteen minutes later. "Hey." She said when he answered the door.

                He notice she was wearing a black cloth skirt that cut off at the knees, it showed off her tan legs. She wore a red tank top as well. He nodded for her to follow him and they went into the living room.

                "This place is huge." She commented.

                "Yeah. To tell you the truth it still freaks me out." Bryan told her truthfully.

                "Alright, wanna get started?" She asked him, and they did.

                It only took them an hour to finish their homework. "So, how long did your dad say you could stay here?" Bryan asked her.

                She giggled. "10." She informed him. Bryan blinked, it was only 7 pm.

                "You knew it would only take at most two hours to do this." He said to her.

                She shrugged. "I don't know. I've always wanted to see this place ever since I learned out about mutants. Besides, maybe we can hang out?" She said.

                "If you want to." With that however, the sound of the kids in the danger room walked out, and all of them sounded exhausted.

                "Hey, I know you!" Came the excited voice that he recognized as Bobby Drake. Samantha turned around and waved at him.

                "Been awhile, ice boy." She said smiling at him.

                "Yeah, alright I gotta go! Talk to ya later!" Bobby said running off.

                With him running off however, Kurt and Kitty came into the scene.

                "Man, like I swear Logan is going to kill us someday!" Kitty said, obviously unhappy at how hard Logan was working them.

                "Ja, it is very stressful vorking vith that man." Kurt voiced his agreement, and Bryan sighed in relief at seeing Kurt have his image-inducer active.

                Kurt seeing this, decided to give him a wink. "Vhat have you two been up to?" Kurt said suggestively.

                "Nothing Kurt. Why don't you two go take a shower or something?" Bryan said with a scowl.

                Kurt made a tsk sound. "That's not very nice. Specially since I'm the one vho vill be grading those projects your vorking on." Kurt said with now a wide smile.

                Samantha was now giggling, and Bryan didn't feel like dealing with Kurt at the moment. Unfortunately, he would have to deal with Scott and his forgetfulness.

                "Bryan?" Came Scott's voice from the dinner.

                "Apparently theirs something new on your brothers Jack and S"

                "Jack and Steven? Wow, I haven't spoken to those two in years! I've been wondering what happened to them!" Bryan screamed out nervously as Samantha glared at him oddly. "Didn't you mention you needed to use the bathroom?" Bryan asked her.

                "Uh, I didn't mention it, but I think I do, yeah." She told him.

                "Kitty, would you mind showing Samantha the bathroom?" Kitty just nodded and motioned for Samantha to follow, which she did, although she was rather reluctant about it.

                Bryan waited until they were out of view to start talking. "Scott, what the hell? I thought I already told you that she was suspicious about who I was." Bryan said trying to stay as levelheaded as possible.

                Scott looked down at the ground. "Ja man. Not trying to make you feel guilty or anything Scott, but vhen ever that family got mentioned in our vistory class, I notice she always gives him a suspicious look." Kurt informed him with Kitty walking down now.

                "Like, that was kind of mean." Kitty said, although Bryan didn't know who she was referring to.

                Scott apologized, and then left. "I didn't mean to make him feel bad." Bryan told Kurt and Kitty. "But damn, that is one secret that I don't want getting out." Bryan sighed.

                "Like, we can understand that. But like, she is really close to figuring it out on her own." Kitty immediately quieted down as she came down.

                "So, what's the news on your brothers?" Samantha asked.

                Bryan choked, and saw Kurt and Kitty's 'wouldn't wanna be ya' expressions. "Oh, they were just in some play, apparently there very good actors." He informed her.

                "I bet it runs in the family." She said mockingly. Damn, a lot farther than I thought she was.

                "Heh, I wouldn't know, never tried." He told her.

                "Heh. Wanna go outside?" She asked him.

                "Uh, sure." Bryan answered.

                Kitty and Kurt at this time were out of the room. Bryan led her to the outside, and took her right outside the gate of the mansion, and watched as it was just about sunset.

                "You're sweating pretty hard." Bryan said. 

                "Yeah. I'm really starting to worry about that project that were doing in English. One, I'm worried, because I know that Josh and Sarah have been, well let's just say when they get together to do 'homework' it's without parent supervision." Samantha shook her head, probably to the sight of her best friend and a friend of hers making out, and maybe even more. "So I'm worried about them. It is the depending thing this year with the short year. I do badly on this; my grade is screwed for the entire year. Not to mention, if she goes as psycho as she did grading you…" Samantha laughed, and Bryan did as well.

                It was just yesterday, and he had turned in all the thirty-four assignments that had been asked of him. For the entire period she spent looking for the smallest mistake she could. Finally she found one where he had forgotten to put the date and she went ballistic, kicking him out of the class.

                "I very much doubt that anything like that will happen. Don't worry, I'm sure if the real Bryan Youngst saw you he would be proud." Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!  Bryan thought in his head the instant he said it.

                Samantha only giggled though. "God, it would be almost cool to actually met him. I would like to ask him what it was like. I really feel it would be interesting, just to ask him if he's alive. What do you think of the possibility of Bryan Youngst being alive, Bryan?" She said laughing.

                Bryan forced a short laugh. "I don't know. I'm pretty sure his brothers a mutant, so there is a possibility that he is, too. As far as mutants go, I've learned just within a few weeks, that you really can't underestimate anything when it comes to these guys." Bryan said turning to look at him with a wide grin.

                "Yeah, I guess. So, what is your mutant power, anyways?" Samantha said catching him off guard.

                "Uh, my mutant gift? Are you sure that you want to see it?" Bryan said, knowing what the answer would be, yet asking anyways.

                "Come on, I know all of there powers, but I don't even know the guy who I've been talking to in school these past three weeks powers." She said with a curious look.

                "Alright" Bryan said trying to figure out what he could show her. He concentrated to make a light blue blast come out his hand, and concentrated a little harder to make it stay there.

                "Wow." Was all that she could say.

                She walked right next to it, her eyes getting right next to it. "Can this thing be dangerous?" Samantha asked.

                Bryan nodded. "They have the potential to be, yes." Bryan said.

                "So, if you release it then, how much control do you have." Samantha asked with a sparkle in her eyes.

                Normally when someone would ask him this question, he would say no, but for some reason he had to. "More control than anyone could fathom." Bryan replied releasing it. It almost hit the mansions gate entrance, then he heaved his arm up and it rose. He could see Samantha's eyes turn to him in shock. For more shock he waved it around in a circle, and continued it until he noticed quite a few of the students staring out.

                "Wow." Was all Samantha could say. "I thought mutants would be use to this, but it appears that there just as creped out as I am." Bryan couldn't help but smile widely.

                Samantha called her dad and had her pick her up early, and when she was gone the, the teacher had some questions.

                "I thought Xavier said you didn't have the control?" Logan said angrily.

                Xavier now came on the scene. "Yes Bryan, that was quite the impressive display of control. All of the house seems to be talking about it." Xavier said commenting about Bobby and Jamie sitting right outside his doorway.

                Scott and Jean now entered the room. "Can we talk about what his brothers have been up to now?" Scott asked, trying to appear unimpressed by what Bryan had done.

                "Yes, of course. It appears that Jack has shown up in Canada, fighting some individuals, and killing them." Xavier said frowning. "No one knows his name, of course. Because people still aren't sure if he's alive or not, and of course it's getting more and more blame put onto mutants." Xavier grimly stated.

                "Jack won't stop until he gets Simon." Bryan put it bluntly. "Now, I'm kind of tired, I'm going to my room. I'll talk to you in awhile." Bryan said walking out of the room.

                Bryan walked up the stairs and to his room, but of course he couldn't get there without running into Kitty and Rogue.

                "Like, that was really cool. That blast thing!" Kitty said.

                "Yah, too bad anythin' would interest Kitty." Rogue said sarcastically.

                "Like, shut up!" Kitty said walking away.

                "That was impressive, though." Rogue commented and then she left.

                When Bryan entered his room he wasn't there, and he saw a note on his bed.

                Bryan, I'm out with Amanda, if Xavier asks cover for me, okay?

                Bryan sighed and went to sleep, embracing the pain that came with it, and he lay there for fifteen minutes, wondering why it was even worth sleeping. Eventually the sleep came, and with that, pain.

It's pretty obvious that Bryan acts a lot different in this chapter. You either buy what he said in the last chapter about him changing, or you either think I have no control over my characters, either way I don't care :)  It'll take me two days max till I get at least started on the final confrontations, as I really want to get this done by Saturday.

                And thanks for the review Sparks. I'm glad to know people are reading this :D
