Thanks oasiskat for your review. Honored? Hmm someone was sweet talking me. Well it worked! Sorry, but Michael isn't Kurt's brother, but I can see were your coming from.
Michael was quick to finish his breakfast, but that didn't help him at all. I would be at least another hour before the professor could once again probe his mind and memories. Michael was getting quite worried. If he had indeed had memories repressed then he could be a lot older or younger than he believes himself to be. He looked at his hands. The claw like finger nails. The fur, the blue fur. How could he forget how all this had happened to him?
Sighing he headed upstairs to his room were he had left his inducer. He put it on and waited a second for the hologram to appear.
The wings and tail disappeared. As did the fur. His body shrunk to 6', his muscles also shrunk and his clothes formed around his 'new' body. His long indigo hair turned brunette and his cat like eyes turned normal and green. His features turned to that of a handsome young man. No longer the angry cat he was now human. He was now Jacob Moore (I'll only refer to him as Jacob in speech otherwise he will be Michael or Seraphim). The man Michael believed himself to be if he was not a mutant. He kept his surname in memory of his mother and adopted his middle name in-case anyone made a guess at who he was.
Michael sighed as he left the room. He hated Jacob. He made Michael feel like a coward. He longed for the day he could walk through the streets and not be shouted at or insulted and in some cases attacked. But those days were long off. If they were ever to come in his lifetime.
He saw Scott on his way down the stairs and smiled at him
"Are you Michael or Jacob now?" he asked with a slight laugh
"As long as you don't call me Mutie scum I'm fine" Michael said continuing down the stairs
"Hey are you ok? This isn't about me nearly hitting you this morning is it?"
He stopped and turned to his leader
"No. I'm sorry Scott I have a lot on my mind" he said before continuing down the stairs and outside toward the garage.
Climbing in to his car he quickly left the grounds of the mansion. (Yes he has a car even though he can fly) He was nearly in Bayville when he heard a noise from the back seat. He pulled over and turned his seat. Lifting a sheet he found Neil Bradshaw asleep.
Sighing he shook the young man awake
"Huh wha?... Hey Jakie" he said with his smile
Michael sighed again. As Neil climbed over the seat
"Jacob. Not Jakie. What are you doing in my car?"
"Hiding from Logan. He's had it in for me ever since I crashed his motorbike"
Michael tried not to laugh, but he couldn't stop himself. "Well I'm going to take you to school then. Your already an hour late"
"Aw man come on Jakie. Let's do something fun. I mean they already think I'm ill or something. We could go cruising for chicks."
"I'm taking you to school"
Neil crossed his arms and sat back in his chair. "Fine, but were listening to my music" he said turning the radio on
Michael turned it off only for Neil to turn it back on again. Off. On. Off. On. Off. On
Finally reaching the end of his fuse. Michael ripped the radio from the car and through it out of his window
"Hey why'd you do that?"
Michael let out a low growl making Neil shut up, but as he did a large amount of rocks fell across the road behind them
"What was that?" Neil shouted sticking his head out of the window
"I think I can guess" Michael said turning his inducer off. Revealing him still in uniform. "Take the wheel"
"Are you serious!?" Neil said, but as he did Michael stood up from his seat and took flight from the car. "Shit shit shit" Neil shouted jumping into the driving seat and continuing down the road.
Michael flew at great speed toward were the rocks had fallen. And sure enough Lance Alvers was waiting for him. Quickly tackling him and knocking him down . Hearing something slicing through the air Michael quickly side stepped and grabbed what was coming. Toads tongue.
"Muh oh" Toad said sounding muffled.
Pulling on his tongue, Michael threw Toad into the cliff face behind him. Michael was about to hit him before Blob came from behind wrapping his arms around Michaels arms and top wings, causing immense pain.
Flicking his wings up to Fred's nose causing him to sneeze and let go. Michael turned and picked Fred up slamming him into a cliff side. Not forgetting Lance who was slowly getting to his feet. Michael grabbed him by his collar and lifted him off the ground
"What do you want with me?" he asked before Fred grabbed his tail and swung him into the cliff side.
As he tried to get his bearings back Fred knocked him on to his front. Stamping on his back and grabbing his tail Fred started to pull at him causing intense pain. Before Fred ripped his tail from his body. Neil came and slammed 2 sledge hammers from his arms into Fred's chest. He stumbled back and Neils hands returned to normal
"Do you think that will stop me like that? I'm unmovable!"
"No, but these..." he said while his arms turned into VERY large blades "...will cut you down before you can even touch me"
Fred stared him down for a while before backing off
"Now what do you want?" Michael said getting to his feet
"Magneto wants to speak with you" Lance said getting to his feet and clutching his ribs
"Why?"
"Hey we're jubst the messengers" Toad said while holding his hand over his painful tongue
"Well I have things to do" Michael said turning his inducer back on and heading away from the 4 mutants. Neil turned his arms back to normal and followed him.
"He knows why your like you are!" Lance shouted after him
Michael froze in his tracks. The professor was having trouble finding his memories, but if Magneto already knew... No. He couldn't trust Magneto. He continued on his way to the car. They both quickly got back in and headed toward the high school
"What did Lance mean?" Neil asked after a few minutes of silence
"It's nothing"
"It made you think for a while"
"It's nothing" he growled without taking his eyes from the road
"Are you supposed to be different or something? Not blue?"
Silence
"I bet you were meant to be green. You look like you'd suit green"
Michael growled again
'Were is Alex when you need him' he thought as he continued down the road
"Or red. You would look cool if you were all red."
Thankfully the school was coming into sight. After nearly throwing Neil out of the car Michael continued on his way back toward the mansion hoping his doubts could be answered by the professor.
=====
Michael is about 6 now. He sits on the floor of the living room coloring in a picture book with his tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth. There was a knock at the door. Since his mom was out he assumed it was her and ran to the door to open it, but it wasn't.
A tall man dressed in all black stood before him. His silver hair was buzz cut ,a scar ran down his cheek and he wore dark glasses
"Who are you?" Michael asked backing away slowly from the door
He grinned as he took his sun glasses off. "My name is Mr.Smith. Is your mom in?"
Michael spread his wings in an attempt to intimidate Mr.Smith "No."
"That's a shame. Can I wait for her?"
"She'll be away for a while" he said whipping his tail behind him.
Mr. Smith didn't even flinch at the loud crack of Michaels tail. "Well I have no plans. I'll wait" he said sitting down on the sofa. he noticed the coloring book. "Did you color these?"
Michael lowered his defense slightly. "Yeah"
"There good. How old are you?" he said flicking through the book
"5 and 3/4"
He laughed "Wow that's good for a 5 and 3/4 year old"
"Thanks" Michael said as his wings fell to his sides once more
"What's your name son?"
"Michael, but mommy calls me her Seraphim"
"So Michael. Can you fly?"
"Yeah I do it all the time, but mommy says I shouldn't 'cause I could hurt myself"
"I bet your a great flyer. Could you show me?"
"Yeah sure!" he said excitedly starting to flap his wings. He lapped the room at incredible speed. "See" he said floating in front of him
"I do" he said pulling out a gun and shooting him in the chest.
Michael fell straight to the floor, but managed to get to his feet. He saw sticking out of his chest a dart and he began to feel drowsy. Before he fell over Michael jumped at him and hit him across the face with his tail. A large crack was heard as Michael shattered his cheek and jaw bones. He soon fell over unconscious.
"Mutie scum" he heard Mr.Smith say before he totally blacked out
======
"I recognize him from my dreams" Michael said to the professor
"As who?" the professor asked
"Just a face"
Professor Xavier furrowed his brow and pondered for a while"The more and more I see the more likely it seems some awful experiment was conducted on you"
"Me too. This is killing me. Is there no way you could hurry up?"
"I am sorry Michael. I wish I could, but I can't go faster than I am."
Michael got to his feet and walked over to the door. "Thank you professor" he said before closing the door behind him
The professor closed his eyes and sat back in his wheelchair
'Scott, Hank. Could you come to my office' he said telepathically
He entwined his fingers and rested his head on his hands
"Poor Michael"
Michael walked down to the danger room and turned it up to level 9
'Real or simulated danger?' a computerized voice asked
Michael growled and hit the button for real danger. He quickly entered and the door closed behind him
About 2 hours later he left beaten and bruised his uniform ripped to shreds, but he had one thing on his mind and he was damned if injuries were going to stop him. Some unfortunate news awaited him on his return to the professors office however.The professor had left with Scott and Hank to meet a new mutant Cerebro had found. Michael let a tear run down his cheek as he turned and headed out the door. Removing his inducer and throwing it into a bush, he took flight and disappeared from view
=================================================================================================
Chapter 2 is here! So where could he be going? (If you can't guess) I have just realized Michael has the same name as one of my favorite authors/filmmakers. It wasn't intended, but hey what a coincidence eh? Also has anyone else noticed the irony of Kurt having a device that gives him the same power as his mother? No? Just me then. Oh well. Hope your enjoying please R/R
