I don't own anybody. *Inmportant note: Bobby is younger in the story, so
while Cyclops may be 26, Bobby will be 18.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*They're going to kill me. I just know it. It was all his fault anyways.*
Bobby Drake was sitting inside a cell of the local police station after having just escaped a riot meant to hang him. His date with Judy Harmon had started out ok, but when Rocky Beasely and his gang attacked, Booby had to do something. So he incased rocky in ice. That's were things started to go downwards for him. Judy ran from Bobby, scared of who he really was, while a riot started. The police put Bobby in jail, telling him it was for his own good, but Bobby knew better. It was for their own protection.
*I'm going to die*
"No you are not" said a voice.
"Whose there"
"Just a friend to help you get out of this predicament. To leave this place and work on your powers" said the voice again.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Dr. Nathaniel Essex" The voice stepped into the light, revealing a man an indigo bodysuit, white face dark eyes, a metallic cape and a blood-red diamond on his forehead. Bobby was instantly frightened of this man.
"Wh-why should I go with you?"
"It is either me or the mob outside who will most likely hang you. You can't go back to your parents because they would most likely disown you for being who you are, and you have nowhere else to go. If you go with me I can help you with your powers"
"Y-you can?"
"Certainly. I can show you your potential and help you reach it. So what do you say?" he said as he reached out his hand for a handshake.
Bobby was hesitant. This Dr. Essex was a frightful man, but he did offer Bobby a refuge and to help him learn about his powers.
"Ok" and he shook the Dr.'s hand and the teleported away.

"I lost him. He is not in the jail cell anymore" said Xavier.
"Did Magneto get to him first?" asked Cyclops.
"I do not believe so. There appeared to be nobody else with him, but there could have been. He just disappeared"
"Disappeared? How?"
"I am not totally sure, but I have a feeling that we will not find Mr. Drake for a long time." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bobby and Essex arrived at his underground research complex in an instant.
"How did we get here?" asked Bobby.
"Through teleportation. I believe that you are tired and hungry, so I will have one of my.associates get you some food and show you to your room" he turned to a com link attached to the wall. "Forest? Come take Mr. Drake and get him some food. After that you will show him his room"
"Yah yah, I know the procedure. You don't have to tell me" said a voice from down the hall.
"Good. I take it you knew we were arriving her and came to meet us?"
"Mh-hhm." The boy that came walking towards them was not what Bobby had expected. From what Bobby could tell, this boy, Forest as Essex called him, was about Bobby's age, if not older, with his hair being the silver-green color of sage and dark hazel eyes. He was taller than Bobby, but by only a couple of inches.
"Then I leave him to you. In the morning take him to the evaluation room for testing" with that he walked away.
Turning to Bobby, Forest started to size him up, looking him up and down. Bobby tried to look tough and did the same. Besides the green hair and dark eyes, he was wearing black leather pants and dark green silk shirt with a leather trench coat over it. Forest looked Bobby straight in the eye and said with a smirk, "Follow me" and lead Bobby down a hall. He finally look at his surroundings. All metal. It had a cold feeling to it. Not in temperature, but in emotions.
*A lonely place* though Bobby.
They walked in silence before Bobby couldn't take it anymore and tried with a conversation.
"So.how long have you been here?"
"Two years."
Silence.
"What can you do?"
"You mean what powers do I have?"
"Yes"
"Precognition, transmute metal to wood and vice versa and plant based powers."
"Wow. That's a lot"
Silence.
"You don't talk much, do you?"
"It's not that I don't talk much, it's just." Forest stopped and turned to him before talking again.
"Why did you say yes to Sinister?"
"Sinister?"
"Everyone around here call Dr. Essex Mr. Sinister. It's his most known alias. Quiet proper, too."
"Proper?"
"Mr. Sinister is just that, sinister. He doesn't care about other people as long as he gets what he wants. The only reason we are here is because we can be of use to him. He wants powerful mutants to fight for him, sort of like an army. That's all."
"Oh" This made Bobby slightly scared, and now he wants out of whatever he got himself into.
"So, why did you say yes to Sinister?"
"Because I had nowhere else to go"
"Your parents?"
"Ess-er, Sinister said they would disown me for being who I am."
"Are you so sure?"
"Why?"
"Precognition allows you to see different futures. Every choice you make has a different future. If you stayed in the jail cell, a Professor Xavier would have come to help you learn your powers and your parents would accept you for who you are. Because you believed Sinisters' lie, you are now here." Forest resumed walking with Bobby following him.
"So what will happen to me now?"
"You will develop your powers as far as they will go, though Sinister will help with the use of advancement drugs. You will learn how to fight, and you will most likely become an assassin for Sinister."
"What?"
But Forest did not answer him. They walked in silence until they reached the cafeteria. They grabbed whatever food they wanted and sat down at an empty table to eat. They ate in silence until Bobby broke the silence with a question.
"Are you one of his assassins?"
There was a pause of silence before Forest spoke.
"Yes."
Bobby pushed away his food, not hungry anymore. He couldn't stand the silence, so he asked more questions.
"Did you take those advancement drugs?"
"Yes, and I'm not done taking them"
"What do you mean?"
"Sinister gives a number of advancement drugs depending on what your final power level is. I have already taken three advancement drugs and I have two more to go. He gives them to you in the form of shots. Once you've mastered your powers after a shot, he gives you another one."
Pause.
"How many shots will I get?"
"From what I heard Sinister say from his observations, possibly five or six, but you might get more."
Pause.
"Will I ever get out of here?"
"Pause.
"No"
