Chapter 4
Meeting the "Family"
Professor Xavier sat in the infirmary waiting for Logan to finish dressing his wounds. Home's acidic blood had left deep penetrating burns on Logan's forearms and face. The injured Logan was still wrapping his arms when Kitty walked in.
"Ah, good to see you cam Kitty." He tried to act as calm as he possibly could so he wouldn't give any hint of his decision away. "As you know I have come to a decision about whether or not the creature is a threat or not…"
Kitty's heart sank as she heard the professor spoke, she just KNEW he was going to send HOMe to some creepy government lab where he would be poked and prodded and tortured. Her eyes welled with tears of concern and sadness. "IT'S NOT FAIR! HE'S LIKE US!" she screamed begging for her friend's freedom "I PROMISE HE WON'T HURT ANYONE! HE'LL LISTEN TO ME I PROMISE!"
"Kitty, it's alright. He's staying here." The Professor looked up at Logan who had been smiling triumphantly just moments earlier. His mouth was now gaping open in complete and utter shock. "However until Hank returns from his visit with his friend I'm afraid he'll have to remain isolated."
"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN' ME!" Logan was screaming now "THIS, THIS THING IS GOING TO KILL US ALL! WE HAVE TO DESTOY IT!"
The Professor looked at Logan with a stern look "And become like the "Friends of Humanity", destroying what we don't understand? No Logan, we will give this creature…" Xavier noticed Kitty's indignant look.
"His name is HOMe."
"HOMe, we'll give HOMe a fair chance. Just as we give everyone else a fair chance." Logan started to argue but gave up and walked out of the infirmary heading to get a beer in town. Professor Xavier turned to leave as well.
"Ummm, Professor, why does he, like, have to stay locked up until Beast comes back?"
The Professor turned to the young girl. "Just a safety measure, however feel free to visit him and introduce him to the other students." With that the professor left leaving Kitty still a little confused.
----------=================----------------=================--------------------=============
A little more than a week later Hank McCoy aka Beast wandered in the institutes door. He was instantly greeted by one of his students, Kurt Wagner.
"Hey Beast, VELCOME BACK." The blue furred teenager tossed confetti into the air.
Hank took a look around to see that almost everyone was gathered in the main room. "Well now what's the occasion?" he asked scratching his head in a mild confusion.
Jean Grey a young red-headed girl spoke "Kitty has a surprise that she didn't want to show anyone until you got back. Most of us have been on 'pins and needles' waiting for you to come back so we can see it."
Hank looked around again and noticed that Logan, Rogue and Scott were missing. "Well then lead on, but, where is Logan, Scott, and Rogue?"
Bobby Drake aka Iceman answered this one "Apparently Storm and them already know what it is, but aren't allowed to tell us."
"Ja, I just hope it isn't anoder one of her recipes. I don't think I could handle that." Kurt piped in jokingly.
"AHEM!" An angry looking Kitty said as she phased through the wall behind Kurt "Say that again?"
"Ahhh!" Kurt jumped in excess of 5 feet in the air. "Nothing, really."
"I thought so…" she smiled and turned her attention to the others "Well now that Beast is here we can like get this show on the road! Follow ME!" Kitties lead the other X-Men to the lower levels of the institute. Most of them asking tons of questions about the surprise and Jean even seemed to be trying to read her mind, but the professor had made sure that was impossible. They shortly arrived at one of the quarantine rooms. Kitty opened the door to let everyone in; Rogue and Scott were already inside. After everyone entered they were looking around for the surprise. Kitty was also looking for HOMe, when she noticed Rogue pointing at the ceiling. Kitty looked up to see HOMe hanging there looking terrified.
"Everybody, this is HOMe." She said pointing to the ceiling. Everyone gasped and Kitty was sure she heard Jamie scream in terror and run away.
"Amazing…" Hank said
"Creepy, vhat is it?" Kurt said not phased much by HOMe's outward appearance.
The other students just talked among themselves, trying to decide what it could possibly be.
~HOMe. ~ Everyone looked at where the voice in their heads was coming from; Kurt was the first to guess.
"Cool! It's a telepath!"
"Not really Kurt, it's more of an extreme form of empathy. He uses it to convert his emotions and thoughts into words that we can understand. As a result he seems to speak almost primitively." Professor Xavier had just arrived.
~HOMe, be your friend? ~ The voice asked. The students seemed hesitant.
Then Rogue spoke up "Ya know at first I was terrified of 'im, scarred me ta bits. Ah even ran fer Logan. But then Kitty made meh come dow' an' visit 'im. He aint all that bad. A little clumsy an' all but not bad"
Kurt was the first to introduce him self to HOMe after Rogue's little speech. "Nice to meet you HOMe, I'm Kurt. Kurt Vagner but you can call me…"
~Kurt-King. ~
"Vell, I guess so…"
HOMe nodded ~Yes. You Kurt-King. ~
HOMe was begging to feel at home….
