I do not own X-men evolution or its characters, and I only lay claim to the
OC Tyler Klimov. The OC's that show up in my story will be accredited to at
the bottom after every chapter once they've appeared.
Pyrorockergirl- Yea, Tyler's mom thing was pretty bad, but this guy's got even worse problems sadly, like the fact that in chapter 5 you'll discover he is also a recovering drug addict. lol.
This Chapter begins a few days after Xavier and the X-men where back inside the underground part of the mansion, as soon as I introduce some more characters things start to get darker, so don't worry, also note, the main villain in this story is most likely going to be Mr. Sinister, he's my favorite Villain, throw some Juggernaut in here and there too.
A Dark Future Chapter 2- Michael Raynor
St. Paul, Minnesota, United States,
Michael walked out, it was a sunny day, and things couldn't be better, he felt great, he had just finished his lunch when he saw his little brother playing out on the street happily with a few friends when he saw a truck coming, he rushed forwards yelling to get out of the way, everyone did, but his little brother Kevin. Suddenly he lifted off the ground and new speed came to him, a moment later he was on the other side of the sidewalk, or should I say, hovering over the other side of the sidewalk holding Kevin. He looked around to see his little brother's friends fleeing. 'What. what just happened?' He mentally asked himself. He landed his feet on the ground and didn't know what to exactly think. He helped his little brother back into the house and looked back at the street puzzled.
Later during the day, the little 'friends' of Kevin had gotten word out to there parents, there was a mutant in the neighborhood, Michael Raynor.
Michael looked at all the angry stares he got from people as he walked past and didn't understand. "What's up with everyone today?" He asked himself. "There he is!" He heard from behind and turned to see a rather large group of people. "That's the mutant! We can't let this thing walk among us!" The lead member said. Michael's eyes widened with fear, he turned to run but was tackled to the ground and hit the street with a hard crack as 3 people rushed over and lifted him up, all where armed with something blunt or sharp. One man batted him in the side of the head with the bludgeoning object meant for the American Pastime. Raynor went back and hit the ground; the force had literally knocked him out of the other attackers grip.
The group pulled him off the ground and continued there assault on the 17 year old who was now bloodied and beaten, then one man grabbed him by the hair and tilted his head back and cut a deep X into his cheek with a large knife. Michael's vision was now blurring and all he wanted to do was get away, suddenly, everyone looked shocked. He could barely make it out. "Where the hell did it go?" One said, he noticed the mob frantically looking for him, but he was right in front of them, wasn't he? He looked down and couldn't see himself. Michael stumbled away and flew into the air. 'Can't go home.' He thought. Then he remembered something from the news, 'Xavier's school for gifted youngsters.' He thought to himself, the news said it was a mutant infested area, what ever it was, that's where he was headed. He looked down to see the world below him as he flew, but he was still woozy, he would have to find somewhere to set down for the night.
1 week later,
Michael got out of the back of a truck, he was invisible so it made it easy to hitchhike without anyone noticing. He flew slowly over Bayville, fatigue, exhaustion, lack of nutrition and dehydration where all starting to take there toll on him. He flew over the gate to the Xavier institute and passed out while flying and landed becoming visible again, flopping onto the ground.
Kurt was coming out of the underground part of the institute since the main building was still under reconstruction when he saw the young man laying on there front lawn. He Bamfed over to see he was in rough shape. Kurt grabbed him and Bamfed to the med wing. "Kurt. what did you do?" Hank asked looking at the unconscious boy Kurt held. "Nothing, I found him like zis on the lawn!" Kurt defended. Hank quickly took Michael to treat him.
1 day later,
Michael's eyes slowly opened and he rubbed the left side of his face, noting the stitches immediately, knowing he was now scarred on the left side of his face. He groaned in pain as he sat up, everywhere ached and he looked forwards with a frown and noted. His life was shit right now, and he already missed his family, but he just couldn't be there anymore, after the way his very own neighbors reacted. people he knew since he was a child, attacked him like wild animals. Mike then noted something; he heard some footsteps and saw a blue fury beast walk in like an ape. "Holy shit," Raynor said in disbelief, he had never thought mutants got like that.
"How are you feeling?" Hank asked coming closer. Michael calmed down, he knew that he was a mutant, he wasn't a monster. "Dude, I feel like I shit," He said trying to sound casual. "Ahh, your vocabulary is most eloquent using words like. 'Dude', I see," Hank said smiling jokingly. "Can I get your name?" Hank asked friendly. "Michael Raynor," Mike said. "Well Mike, you have some bruised ribs, and a lot of minor injuries, but aside from that you should be fine," Hank said. "Oh! I almost forgot, I'm Henry McCoy, I'm an instructor at the institute," He said smiling. "I'll tell the others your awake, you should meet them," Hank added. "You. know I'm a mutant right?" Mike asked, "Of course, the Professor gathered as much as soon as he saw you, he didn't even need to read your mind to see it," Hank said.
Ororo came in holding a change of cloths, Raynor's bloody rags where taken away by her, she didn't say much, but did give him a friendly smile and a hello. Michael got to his feet for the first time since he had 'landed' at the institute, his legs ached, but it was nothing he couldn't handle. He walked out into the halls of the underground part of the institute and then heard it. 'Ahh Michael, your up, please go down the hall and to your left,' a voice said in his head. He felt frightened but did as the voice commanded of him. When he entered the room he saw a man in a wheel chair and a large group of other people, of all shapes and sizes, he recognized Ororo and Hank thought.
"Hello Michael, I'm Charles Xavier, what brings you here?" He asked. "I saw the news, and it said you guys where mutants at this school. took me forever to figure out where it was thought." Michael started. "I came here. I came here to get some help with these powers I have," He said looking down. "Well, if it's alright with your parents." Xavier was cut off. "No!" Michael shouted but then calmed quickly. "They don't know I'm here, and it's for the best if they don't." He said sadly. Xavier didn't need to be a telepath to see Michael was running. The Professor helped almost everyone in need. "Mr. Raynor, what are your abilities?" Xavier asked friendly. "I can disappear and fly," Mike said, "Nothing special compared to the stuff I watched on the news against that big robot mother fucker, but." He was cut off by Ororo, "Language please," She said. He nodded. "The nature of your gifts means little to us Mike, but it does help us decide codenames for our students," The Professor assured. "If I want a codename, I want it to be cool," Michael said, "SO in other words, I'm picking it. Call me Specter," Michael said.
"Michael, get to know your peers while Ororo, Hank, Logan and myself discuss your living here and how best to benefit your stay," Professor X said and with that rolled out. Mike looked at his fellow X-men/New Recruits. "Uhhh.. Hi," He said cautiously.
Everyone made there introductions, and Michael being the average North American male made sure he introduced himself 'more so' to Jean, Kitty, Amara and Rogue, being blown off each time of course. Kurt walked over to him. "Hey, I'll show you to your room until ve get the new mansion up," Kurt said friendlily. "Lead the way," Specter said, not expected Kurt to grab his arm. Before he could react he heard a BAMF and looked at his new surroundings. "Dude, that ability kicks ASS," was all Raynor could say.
Raynor ate dinner with the others, it was quiet, but the Professor assured him it was only because of the mood of the world right now, things where hard on everyone. Spyke did speak a lot about hating 'Shit eating assholes' at school, and Raynor didn't like the idea of now having to go to school, especially with all the anti mutant sentiment going around.
The next morning Mike woke up and yawned. He went outside his room, went to the bathroom, showed, went back to his room, got dressed, went to breakfast, and waited for his day to continue. He then really started to think over the choices he made, just to reflect, this was all so much to take in. He remembered really how hard it had been on him with his injuries to journey to the institute, his safe haven. After thinking some time he was cut off by hearing what sounding the 'fearless' leader, or so he makes himself out to be. arguing?
*Significant part of story for later chapter 4, I've decided to make Iceman one of the main characters, and gets his own part of the story! LoL* "Bobby, you know you can't fight back like that, were here to protect people," Scott said, "Your being reckless and immature, grow up Bobby," Scott added. "Me grow up? Fuck you Scott, I go outside for 10 minutes and I get mobbed, so what if I hit em' back?" Bobby snapped. "Listen Drake, you know damn well what the professor would say." He was cut off by Bobby just rolling his eyes. "Guess what Scott, what the proff says doesn't always fit with reality," Bobby said cockily. "I can do things just as good as you Scott, heck, I should be a full X-man, I'm even stronger then you," Bobby added. "That's it Bobby! If you say one more thing, I'll do more than pull you out of a situation, I'll get the Professor on you about it," Scott snapped. "Go ahead! And you 'pulled' me out of a situation? One I could easily handle, I'm not a helpless kid!" Bobby shouted. "You fucking act like one!" Scott shouted back. Bobby then shoved Scott into the wall and walked past. Scott just shook his head and got his bag ready for school, forgetting what just occurred.
Michael just watched from the side not knowing what to really think, that was interesting to say the very least. "Hey. Scott right? What was that all about?" He asked Cyclops. "Bobby got in a fight outside, he left the institute grounds, he was lucky I came by when I did to pull him out, there was at least a dozen people," Scott said. "Well then why is he pissed off? Fuck, sounds like a little ingrate," Mike said, "He's pissed off because he was going to take them out, I pulled him out so he wouldn't hurt anyone," Scott said. Mike just blinked once and nodded, he understood, they worked to help people, even when they meant them harm. Mike walked out and sat back watching some TV, watching the anti mutant propaganda flow. He decided that the TV was thus evil and he had to stop watching it before he broke it.
Specter went on the outside and just relaxed outside for a while, he was still sore from the beating he had received before coming to the institute. Specter noticed the door open again and he turned invisible, not to spy, but just to see who it was.
Bobby was muttering to himself. "Fucking Scott, thinks he's so fucking smart. I'll show him. I'm not just a kid damn it," He heard. Mike came up from the side turning visible once more. "Hey," He said. Bobby turned to him and gave his prankster smirk, "Hey man, what's up?" He asked. "Nothing much, but you and Scott where at it down there man, you feeling ok?" Mike asked. "I'm just sick of everyone trying to take care of me, do yourself a favor and make yourself out to be strong at the start, or they'll treat you like dirt," Bobby said sounding disappointed. "Come on, Scott seemed like he was doing it because of." He was cut off by Robert. "Not you too!" He then groaned. "These rules are driving me nuts! Just bug off alright?" Iceman said and stormed off by himself. Mike just stared a moment and then figured Bobby was an asshole anyway. "That guy's an asshole," He said to himself, but then he noticed something, Bobby didn't turn at the gate, he just walked out. 'Oh boy,' He thought.
Michael quickly went underground and went to tell an instructor, or someone, the way Icy was acting, he wasn't planning on coming back. Hank came out with his fur. of course. but it was. purple?
"Mr. McCoy?" He asked. "Where's Bobby." Hank said sounding very unhappy. "What happened?" Mike asked, "He replaced my shampoo. with dye," Hank said, "Not to mention the stunt he pulled earlier, the professor wants a talk with him," Hank added. "Uhhh. He left, and it doesn't look like he intends on coming back," Michael said. Hank's jaw just dropped for a moment and he quickly left without saying another word.
Specter lived at the mansion, a boring week in week out life for about 2 weeks, Bobby had yet to return and only a few where even talking about him. Those being Jubilee, Ray, and Sam, everyone else just stayed quiet.
Then the most dreaded day of Michael's last few months came. the day the Professor had enrolled him to start attending school.
He walked down the school halls to his first class, everyone had seen him arrive with the X-men. the stares where the worst, everyone just glaring at him, he could see why Bobby didn't want to protect these people anymore. He got to English and looked for a familiar face, anything to help him out, he noticed Jean, and also noted that every desk besides her had a mysterious vacancy. He sat down next to her and looked at her, she frowned and nodded sympathetically. ~Don't worry, it's not all bad, at least now I have someone to talk to during class,~ She said telepathically. "Mr. Raynor I presume?" The teacher, Mr. Andrews said. "Yes Mr. Andrews," Raynor replied. "You will have to catch up on the work you where not here for involving the book we are reading, The Last Stand, you will be given a book at the end of class and you must have chapters 1-6 read before you return next class, which is on Wednesday." He said. "Thank you Mr. Andrews," Michael said. "Don't worry, he's not so much of a stick in the ass once your in here for a while," Jean whispered to him.
Specter did not enjoy the rest of that class, the notes being passed around about him and Jean where not flattering either. When he left the class, homework in hand, he had found himself almost shaking with anger, and knew things where only going to get worse as the day went on.
Science was hell, but that not as bad as English, but he didn't know a single person there, and the cold glares he got even from his teacher Ms. Wilson seemed to burn into his mind.
Next came Math. oh how he detested math. He found Scott in the class and went over and sat next to him. "Scott," He said, "Mike," Scott replied. He looked at his teacher a moment, who just handed him a textbook and didn't even introduce him, or himself, just stared at him. "He's not a big fan of mutants," Scott said frowning. "Dude, what made you figure that out?" Raynor asked, "Shut up Mike," Scott scolded. As the class dragged on, Michael looked at the clock constantly, hoping for lunch to come, praying for it in fact.
Lunch finally did come. Starving Michael filled his plate and went to sit with the other X-men.
"How do you do it? HOW? I feel like I could kill half the idiots in this fucking school," Mike said. "Chill alright? Who cares what others think?" Scott asked. "Kurt does," Rogue said sounding disappointed, his actions from 'Mainstream' still ingrained in many of his peers minds. "Lance is such a jerk, I'm glad Kelly threw him out," Kitty said breaking the silence, "Keety, he'll throw us out first chance he gets too," Kurt reminded her. "I hate Kelly," Kitty then said. "Oh come on! How can things get any worse here? Really?" Mike said annoyed, just then the PA turned on. "Michael Raynor to the office please. Michael Raynor, please come to the office," It said. "I FUCKING HATE THIS FUCKING SCHOOL!" Mike said angrily and stormed out of the cafeteria.
Michael got to the officer and entered the principal's office after a 10 minute wait. "Mr. Raynor," Kelly said sitting down. He took a seat and glared at him. "One student overheard your remarks in the cafeteria, 'I feel like I could kill half the idiots in this fucking school', I'm afraid such threats being made by a mutant are unacceptable, and I've been on the phone with the school board about it, you are to leave school property immediately, and Professor Xavier has already been informed of your. expulsion," Principal Kelly said with a slight smile. Mike's jaw dropped to the floor. "You MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLE!" He shouted and picked up his chair and threw it through Principal Kelly's window. "Are you crazy or something?!" Kelly shouted. He then walked right in front of the principal and fingered him and stormed out angrily.
When he got outside he saw the limousine of Charles Xavier waiting. He walked out and the door opened. He snarled as he got in the back and looked at the Professor sitting across from him with a frown on his face. "I don't blame you if that's what your thinking, they are just looking for every possible excuse to segregate mutants from the school system, I know you where harmless with those words, but there is little we can do, I will try to get it appealed, but things look doubtful," The Professor said, "Until then, you'll be with the New Mutants classes with Hank," He added. Michael just sat back and let out a sigh, his life was really shitty right about now.
*** That's chapter 2! Took me a while, harder to write for a non Acolyte/lone murderer, you'll see the next chapter to be around the same length for the new Brotherhood member. So. Please Read and Review! The Chapters will get longer as time goes on, but I couldn't really continue this one until some new events happen in Chapters 4 and 5.
***
Emerald Knight1 is the creator of Michael 'Specter' Raynor, not me; I am only using his character for this story which he has submitted to me. I think him/her as well as everyone else who submitted for this story.
Pyrorockergirl- Yea, Tyler's mom thing was pretty bad, but this guy's got even worse problems sadly, like the fact that in chapter 5 you'll discover he is also a recovering drug addict. lol.
This Chapter begins a few days after Xavier and the X-men where back inside the underground part of the mansion, as soon as I introduce some more characters things start to get darker, so don't worry, also note, the main villain in this story is most likely going to be Mr. Sinister, he's my favorite Villain, throw some Juggernaut in here and there too.
A Dark Future Chapter 2- Michael Raynor
St. Paul, Minnesota, United States,

Specter did not enjoy the rest of that class, the notes being passed around about him and Jean where not flattering either. When he left the class, homework in hand, he had found himself almost shaking with anger, and knew things where only going to get worse as the day went on.
Science was hell, but that not as bad as English, but he didn't know a single person there, and the cold glares he got even from his teacher Ms. Wilson seemed to burn into his mind.
Next came Math. oh how he detested math. He found Scott in the class and went over and sat next to him. "Scott," He said, "Mike," Scott replied. He looked at his teacher a moment, who just handed him a textbook and didn't even introduce him, or himself, just stared at him. "He's not a big fan of mutants," Scott said frowning. "Dude, what made you figure that out?" Raynor asked, "Shut up Mike," Scott scolded. As the class dragged on, Michael looked at the clock constantly, hoping for lunch to come, praying for it in fact.
Lunch finally did come. Starving Michael filled his plate and went to sit with the other X-men.
"How do you do it? HOW? I feel like I could kill half the idiots in this fucking school," Mike said. "Chill alright? Who cares what others think?" Scott asked. "Kurt does," Rogue said sounding disappointed, his actions from 'Mainstream' still ingrained in many of his peers minds. "Lance is such a jerk, I'm glad Kelly threw him out," Kitty said breaking the silence, "Keety, he'll throw us out first chance he gets too," Kurt reminded her. "I hate Kelly," Kitty then said. "Oh come on! How can things get any worse here? Really?" Mike said annoyed, just then the PA turned on. "Michael Raynor to the office please. Michael Raynor, please come to the office," It said. "I FUCKING HATE THIS FUCKING SCHOOL!" Mike said angrily and stormed out of the cafeteria.
Michael got to the officer and entered the principal's office after a 10 minute wait. "Mr. Raynor," Kelly said sitting down. He took a seat and glared at him. "One student overheard your remarks in the cafeteria, 'I feel like I could kill half the idiots in this fucking school', I'm afraid such threats being made by a mutant are unacceptable, and I've been on the phone with the school board about it, you are to leave school property immediately, and Professor Xavier has already been informed of your. expulsion," Principal Kelly said with a slight smile. Mike's jaw dropped to the floor. "You MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLE!" He shouted and picked up his chair and threw it through Principal Kelly's window. "Are you crazy or something?!" Kelly shouted. He then walked right in front of the principal and fingered him and stormed out angrily.
When he got outside he saw the limousine of Charles Xavier waiting. He walked out and the door opened. He snarled as he got in the back and looked at the Professor sitting across from him with a frown on his face. "I don't blame you if that's what your thinking, they are just looking for every possible excuse to segregate mutants from the school system, I know you where harmless with those words, but there is little we can do, I will try to get it appealed, but things look doubtful," The Professor said, "Until then, you'll be with the New Mutants classes with Hank," He added. Michael just sat back and let out a sigh, his life was really shitty right about now.
*** That's chapter 2! Took me a while, harder to write for a non Acolyte/lone murderer, you'll see the next chapter to be around the same length for the new Brotherhood member. So. Please Read and Review! The Chapters will get longer as time goes on, but I couldn't really continue this one until some new events happen in Chapters 4 and 5.
