"Wake up, bro! Zere's somevon here to see us!" 14-year old Kurt teleported
into his older brother's room. Pietro secretly wished that Kurt would stop
talking like that, but he guessed that when English isn't your first
language, it's hard to speak without an accent.
"Who-is-it-and-what-do-they-want-at-this-hour?" Pietro rolled over in his bed.
"It's 9:00am! I've been up for three and a half hours!" Kurt stated, not answering either question. And then Kurt teleported away. ~Probably to wake up Wanda~ Pietro mused. No one really liked to get Wanda mad, not even an annoying little brother like Kurt who made it his life's goal to drive his older siblings crazy. She had quite a temper and waking her up was one of those things that would set her off.
When Pietro finally got downstairs, he found Irene, Kurt, Rogue, and Wanda sitting on the couches with three people he didn't know.
"Pietro, this is Professor Charles Xavier."
"Nice to meet you, Pietro. These are two of my students, Jean Grey and Scott Summers." A bald man says, gesturing to a red haired girl and a brown haired boy. "I run a school for gifted youngsters, like yourselves, if you know what I mean."
"Mutants?" Pietro interrupted.
"Yes. Irene tells us that you're gifted with super speed?" Pietro nods.
"He vants to know if ve'll join his school!" Kurt informed his brother.
"All of us, right?" Pietro asks.
"Of course." The professor nods.
"Not ta be rude or anything, but if ya'll are mutants, too, could ya show us your powers?" And there's yet another accent that annoyed Pietro. Sure she had lived in the south for four years before their mom had adopted her, but why did she still have that accent?
"As I've already stated before young Pietro joined us, I'm a telepath." The professor started. "Jean here is telekinetic, she can move things with her mind, and has some telepathic abilities. Scott's eyes emit a destructive light force, a lot like lasers, only without the heat. If you'd like a demonstration, I'm sure they'd be more than willing."
Everyone in the room nodded.
"All right, then. This would probably be safer outside." Irene led everyone outside.
"Does anyone have something small, like a coin, that they wouldn't mind not getting back?" Jean asked.
Wanda reached into the pocket of her jeans and pulled out a bottle cap. "You can use this." She held it out.
Instantly, the bottle cap came floating out of Wanda's hands and into Jean's. "Thanks." Jean held out the bottle cap and made it float out of her hands and into the air. When it had reached it's full height, a red light suddenly came and blasted it into nothingness. Everyone looked in Scott's direction just in time to see him putting his sunglasses back on.
"Good shot, Slym." Jean said, putting an arm around Scott's shoulders. It was difficult because of the height difference between the two, but she did.
Irene suddenly got a look about her like when she's seeing the future. Then she smiled.
"Irene...?" Wanda began to ask.
"Nothing to worry about, Wanda." Irene answered. "It was nothing of great importance."
~Irene, what was that about?~ Professor asked in her mind.
~Nothing, just a little insight on the future of your two students there~ She smiled.
The professor smiled knowingly. "Jean, Scott, let's give them a moment alone to discuss this." The three walked over to an large, expensive looking jet. They got in, but left the door open behind them.
As soon as the three were out of hearing range, Irene's unseeing eyes changed. Her entire expression suddenly went from relaxed to worried. "Children, I need all of you to pack, quickly. I'm sending you to Xavier's school and I know your mother would not be happy with my decision. Luckily, she won't be home for a week, so by then I hope you're all settled in. You have to trust me, children. This is the only way that your futures can all turn out positively. If you don't all go to this school, one or more of your lives will be ripped apart. Please hurry in your packing." All four nodded and went to pack.
~What a weird way to start the day~ Pietro silently mused.
"Who-is-it-and-what-do-they-want-at-this-hour?" Pietro rolled over in his bed.
"It's 9:00am! I've been up for three and a half hours!" Kurt stated, not answering either question. And then Kurt teleported away. ~Probably to wake up Wanda~ Pietro mused.
