Chapter Sixteen
The Mission
Ororo and Jean were carefully landing the Blackbird on an abandoned airstrip a few miles away from Bayville. The professor had found out Huntress' targets by doing a simple mindscan and the assembled X-Men were on a mission to find the youngest mutants on the target list.
Right now they were on the way to find a mutant named Kenny Myr. This young man had the ability to blow fire from his mouth, like a dragon. He had just found out about his mutations a few days ago when he had accidentally burned down an old boathouse. The boy was now hiding in a fishing shack.
"James, you are to stay in the Blackbird with me while the other try to recruit Kenny. Understand?" the professor asked the newest member of the squad, James Ruden.
"Okay," the boy shrugged as the rest of the X-Men exited the jet.
"There's the shack," Scott exclaimed as the search party neared the ocean.
"He's inside," Jean informed them.
"Hey, dude?" Evan knocked softly on the door of the shack. "We're here to help you." No answer. "Come on dude, open the door."
"Evan get back!" Jean screamed as a spurt of fire engulfed the door and sent Evan reeling backwards.
"Evan!" Ororo called to her unconscious nephew as she summoned rain to put out the fire.
Scott rushed over and grabbed Evan just as another stream of fire flew from the doorway.
"Scott!" Jean yelled, using her telekinesis to pick up both boys just before the fire reached them.
"Go away!" a hoarse voice from inside the shack called. "I don't want to hurt anyone just go away and leave me alone!"
"We can't do that Kenny," Ororo replied calmly as the rain continued to douse the shack. "We've come to help you, we can teach you to control your powers!"
There was a pause before the voice answered:
"How did you know my name?"
"Our leader found out about you," Scott explained. "There are other people trying to take you. Those people may try to hurt you, we just want to train you to use your powers so you don't hurt yourself or others in your ignorance of your powers."
A grimy hand held onto the door frame and an even grimier face peeked out a little.
"You want to help me?"
"Yeah dude," Evan muttered. "If you don't try to fry us again."
Kenny walked out of the shack and helped Evan to sit up.
"Sorry about that," he whispered.
The X-Men and their new comrade marched slowly back to the Blackbird.
Well, I didn't fry Scott, but that would've been funny! (dodges a chair thrown by a Scott fan) Hey! I'm not trying to please anybody with these fics, least of all you guys! (dodges a few more flying chairs) Help! *everyone's favorite fuzzy mutant teleports behind the authroess* Thank you Kurt! *authoress and her hero bamf away into the sunset* Not!
