I let my claws extend to four inches and slashed the large oak tree in
front of me. I sneered and I growled. Hell I even hissed at the birds and
squirrels that even tried to come near me. I blame this mood completely on
that damned professor. I mean who the hell does he think he is assigning me
to work with that beer breathe furball!!!! All I did was appear on their
doorstep and I'm expected to stay here. And when I finally decide to leave
he uses my "brother" against me. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE!!!! I
mean sure something feels right about the notion that I have a brother but
what's to say it's true when I don't even remember my own past.
"What do you want?" I didn't turn around to voice my question because I thought it was another kid who hit puberty already but there was something weird about him.
"Sorry I didn't know anyone was out here." I pulled myself into the tree I just slashed and sat on the lowest branch so I was facing the newcomer. Ok excuse me when I say HOLY COW!!! I was wrong about it being a kid cause standing before me was a grown man. He had white hair spiked slightly in the front, pale gold complexion, blue eyes and a muscular build. Now it's not one of those muscular builds that body builder's get. No this was a build to show he had a well toned six-pack; his pectoral muscles were mildly big but not big enough to make me sick. His arms looked strong enough to bench press a bench itself. Covering this well toned body was a short sleeved tight brown shirt, blue jeans that hugged his body in all the right places, brown boots and he held a leather jacket in hand. The jacket made me remember that it was snowing earlier and it was still cold out. I guess when you spend a lot of time in the cold it doesn't seem that bad no matter what I'm wearing. "The name is Pietro and you are my fair maiden?" This is not the medieval time buddy.
"The name is Layla so what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be inside the school making sure the students behave?" I watched as he walked to the tree and leaned against it so I could see his face or better yet his eyes. Smart man.
"Whoever said I was a teacher here? I was just in the neighborhood and decided to stop by and check this place out." Good answer but not good enough. Sure he's a mutant, I can smell it. I've realized that mutants and humans give off different scents and with my enhanced abilities it's easy to tell who is who. Anyway since he is a mutant and he is checking out this place then why doesn't he just go into the school and talk with Cueball? "So exactly what are you doing here?"
Hmm....what can I say? I ran away from a lab so I wouldn't have to be sent to a different country to murder a bunch of people. Oh yeah most people love to hear that. I looked down at Pietro and noticed her was looking straight at me. I guess I got that look that all guys can't help but look at. Shallow I know so what.
"The professor wanted me to teach the students here how to fight hand-to- hand combat. I was in the neighborhood and he recruited me." We'll it's not a lie just a few tiny things taken out.
"Why teach students who have powers how to fight like normal humans?" That's a slightly good question that everyone already knows the answer to.
"What would they do if they couldn't use their powers? They would be screwed two weeks from today." Well it's true in my opinion. If those other kids are just the one I tackled earlier then they are all royally screwed.
"Well that wouldn't be a problem if those damn apes would stop trying to kill us." And the witch has reared its ugly head. Add one more to the list of Mutants Against Humans. That would make 1175 mutants with me off and on the list. What? You thought I wouldn't hate humans? Well....you're wrong to a point that is. You probably already know why.
"You make a good point Pietro. I understand where you're coming from but what can we do? There are a few things that could be done but that would cause bodily harm to a lot of people, including me.
"There is one way I know of but that plan is not yet ready." He dug into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. After he dug around in his wallet he pulled out a card and reached his arm towards me and I took the card out of his hand. "Give me a call when you get tired of teaching these brats."
With that said he ran off faster than a locomotive ((A.N. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound...^.^;;; Sorry couldn't resist. Does anyone know how fast Pietro actually is?????))
"I'll keep that in mind." I looked at the card a little longer and then tucked it into my shoes. I brought my knees up to my chin and leaned against the trunk of the tree. I looked off into the distance and I watched the sun as it slowly vanished over the horizon.
It's kind of surprising that all this happened in one day. Taken in and became a teacher at Xavier's school. I got my butt kicked by Wolfman and I kicked his butt right back. I almost killed a killed for sneaking up on me. I believe it was two memories resurface and to top it off I met a cutie who I actually had an intelligent conversation with. I guess I better head back into the school and get some sleep. I mean I do have a class to teach tomorrow.
With that thought I jumped out of the tree and ran back into the building just as the last rays of sunlight vanished
