Scott Summers walked down the sidewalk, fully intent on strangling the next annoying person he saw. Jean had blown him off.
Again.
For Duncan Matthews.
AGAIN!
As he was fuming, Kurt came over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Scott? It's time for Danger room practice."
"I know that, Kurt!" Scott snapped, emitting a deep growl in his throat.
"Fine. See how happy you are when you're late." Kurt retorted, turning away from the older boy. "Ja, and the new recruits are coming today. You really shouldn't sulk in front of them, could get you less respect later." Kurt disappeared in a bamph of smoke and left Scott standing there outside the mansion.
Scott gave a groan. He didn't want to see Jean right now.
He shook his head and walked back towards the mansion.
_Later_
Scott walked into the Danger room, not expecting a large sum of water come crashing into his head. He fell over as the freezing liquid hit his head. "WHAT THE HELL?" He yelled, trying to get up but slipping again and falling on his ass.
A boy came running up towards him. He had hazel eyes that were mostly covered by his long chestnut brown hair that covered his ears and most of his neck. He was wearing a long sleeved dark green shirt and khaki pants with black tennis shoes. "Man, you alright? I didn't mean for it to hit you!"
The boy held out a hand to help Scott up, but with Scott in the foul mood that he was in, the senior slapped the hand away with a scowl on his face. "I'm fine."
The dark lights of the Danger room had been shut off, the simulation terminated. A group of people came running up towards the two boys.
The Professor wheeled up towards the two, and inquired, "Scott, are you quite alright?"
Scott gave a grunt and stood. "Fine."
"Well, Shades. You seem to have met Nash." Logan stated, unsheathing his claws.
"Seems so." Scott said curtly, noticing Jean standing next to Logan with Kurt and Kitty.
"Like, come on, Scott! Come meet the new recruits!" Kitty spoke grabbing Scott's hand and dragging him over to the others, who were practicing with their powers.
Bobby was sitting with two of them, chatting about pranks.
The first one was the one who he had run into first. He had an evil grin on his face just screaming, "I'm-scheming-and-you-can-not-stop-me!"
The second was a fairly tall boy with almond shaped eyes a piercing green like a cat's. His hair that was long, enough to cover where his ears should be, was a jet black. He wore a pair of baggy black cargos with a red T-shirt and a black sweatshirt.
Scott gave the first boy a glare, but he just looked up with a neutral look on his face. His small smile turned into a grin, and the senior could not wonder what he was thinking about.
Kitty pointed the two boys out. "That one right there is Nash Clark." She said, pointing to the first one. "He's from England; real cool guy if you ask me!"
Scott all but grumbled, "But I didn't ask you."
Kitty then pointed to the second boy. "That's Ryan Archer. He's from Colorado."
She then pulled him over towards a group that was training in a small corner of the Danger room.
She began pointing out people again. "That guy right there is Alan Bruce. He's pretty nice."
Alan had floppy hair that was naturally parted on the side that swung down in his eyes; which he kept brushing away. He wore blue jeans and an untucked button-down blue shirt. His eyes were a deep chocolate brown, but Scott noticed that they held a bit of loneliness in them. He seemed to be straying away from the rest of the group.
Kitty pointed to the next person. "Right there's Dario. He and Kurt are competing on who is more 'German' as they say."
Dario had dark brown hair, and was a thin guy. He was wearing a black T- shirt with tan cargo pants with chains. His eyes were hazel, and he was glaring at a rubber ball that someone had thrown at him. If the ball had been alive, and looks could kill, it would be in the seventh level of hell right now...
A girl was staring at Dario and snickering. She wore gold wire rimmed glasses that gave a glint to her hazel eyes. She was very pale, and had auburn hip length hair that she had in a partial French braid. She was wearing a blue denim gypsy style, swish 3-tiered long skirt with a paisley long sleeved blouse with a blue cami under it. She had brown leather short boots on her feet. Currently, she was juggling little rubber bouncing balls and standing next to what looked like a miniature green house. In all actuality, it was a shoebox with dirt and small plants in it.
"Say, Kitty. Who's that?" Scott asked, giving the girl a strange look.
"Oh, that'd be Anne Morland. She's sixteen; real sweet girl. Her powers are totally awesome." Kitty replied happily. "Oh, who have I forgotten?" She wondered, then snapped her fingers. She pointed towards two other people. "That one there's Brynn Hiller. Canadian girl, but she didn't hit it off with Logan very well."
Scott nodded and glanced at the 17-year-old.
Brynn had long straight auburn hair and hazel eyes. She looked well toned from going to a gym, no doubt, back home. Her shirt was a tight red one that was low cut and she had on super low rider jeans that had small flower designs on the bottom.
"Yeah, and lastly, there's Trey Huebner. I think you'll like him." Kitty let a small giggle slip, which earned her a glare from Scott.
Trey was a tall with normal length brown hair and tan skin. He wore a navy T-shirt, blue jeans, and gray tennis shoes. He was currently scribbling something down in an old notebook that was titled on the front cover, "I'm not sure yet."
Scott nodded in approval and started back towards where the Professor was. Kitty, on the other hand, stayed behind and began chatting with Anne about the importance of saving the rainforest.
"Have you done any tests with them yet, Professor?" Scott asked, his anger almost completely gone.
"Yes, Scott. And they are doing very well. I have asked Logan to give them a level four sim right now. In the mean time, would you fetch Kitty and tell her to call Rogue? It seems that our young friend has run off again." The Professor replied.
Scott nodded and went to do his task. He tapped Kitty on the shoulder and told her the message. Kitty gave a frustrated sigh and exclaimed, "This is, like, so not fair! Rogue could be on the other side of the stupid EARTH by now!" Her smile was long gone and now replaced with a scowl, Kitty stalked away to find her friend.
Scott just sighed and went up to the observatory with the Professor, Kurt, Jean and Logan.
The new recruits had quickly stashed their things outside the Danger room just as the red lights began to go off; signaling the start of a simulation. Scott's eyes widened at the choice the Professor had put them up against.
"Professor, isn't that a bit...much?" He asked, gulping.
"Let's see what they can do, Scott." The Professor replied, pointing to where the new recruits were.
Down in the Danger room, Dario was simply dodging the attacks from the 'Acolytes.' He used no powers, merely dodged to the left when 'Colossus' came at him. When the large man swung around, Dario ducked under his swinging arm and got behind him. He then used his foot to push him forward, making Colossus fall down in a heap. Dario kicked him once more, then gave a laugh that clearly stated, "Well, that was fun." And walked off.
Over where Brynn and Nash were, they were having a bit of a harder time. They were both up against Remy. Gambit began throwing energy charged cards towards their feet. Brynn ran towards him and slid; hitting his feet with hers and making him loose his balance and blindly throw cards everywhere. Nash grabbed three of the cards quickly and threw them at the ground. He then moved down swiftly and touched each of them briefly. In an instant, the cards melted into water.
Brynn smiled at this new development, and concentrated on the puddle on the ground. She held out her hand and the water rushed to it, making a miniature tornado in the palm of her hand. She gave Nash a nod of thanks and sent little sharp drops of water sailing towards Gambit at an alarmingly fast rate. They pierced his 'clothing' and he surrendered. Brynn wasn't so easily convinced, though. The water formed cuffs around Gambit's hands, then covered them completely.
Two Acolytes down, two to go.
Alan and Anne were up against Pietro. He was zooming around them in a fast rate, even faster than usual. Anne had long since placed her shoebox on the ground next to her and put one foot in the soil. She raised her hands, and the small plants that were growing steadily suddenly shot up to her height, and their size still increasing! Alan, on the other hand, was busy trying to get Pietro to slow down so he could use his powers. He glanced at Anne, who gave him a knowing look, and spread her plants' roots across the Danger room floor. Pietro tripped on a large root and was sent flying a few feet. Alan raised his right hand towards Pietro, who suddenly gave a tired expression, his eyes clouding over. Before Pietro was fully on his feet, he had already fallen back down, swaying uncertainly. Anne pointed to Pietro and her plants wrapped him up in a tight bind, refusing to let go.
Meanwhile, as all of this was happening, Trey and Ryan were dealing with Pyro. Trey was trying to catch Pyro's attention to lead him away from Ryan, who was finding it hard to catch the rusty haired Aussie. Trey saw Pyro's move and pulled the boy's arms behind his back in a fluid motion while Ryan took a shot at Pyro's shoulder. Ryan's claws gave a strange hiss and a slight glow when Pyro had been scratched. The copy howled in pain, and just as it was about to use fire from his lighter, Trey quickly snatched it away and did away with the 'memories.'
Scott watched up from the observatory, his features etched with shock. "They- they just-?"
The Professor nodded. "These are special mutants just like us all, Scott. It seems that they have just had a bit more practice than you did your first time with the Danger room sims."
Scott nodded, and glanced over to Jean who was beaming with joy. She looked to the Professor and exclaimed, "We sure are lucky, aren't we, to get such powerful recruits!"
Kitty nodded, and went back to talking with Kurt.
"Chuck." Logan's voice came from the doorway leading to the hallway next to the Danger room. "We got some problems with the kids. Should I break it up?"
The Professor shook his head. "No, that will not be necessary, Logan."
Jean walked over to Scott and told him, "I wonder what's going on."
Scott wanted to shout, hit something, do something, but he just settled for, "Yeah." While gazing out into the Danger room, where trouble seemed to be brewing.
Trey was scolding Anne and saying repeatedly, "You just have no appreciation of ART!"
Meanwhile, Dario was letting out an insane laugh and Brynn was shaking her head and trying to reach Anne, but was blocked off by the other boys. Nash, Alan, and Ryan just would not let her pass. "Anne!" She called out. Nothing was heard over Trey's scolding, Nash, Alan, and Ryan's protests, and Dario's insane laughter. "YO, HIPPIE, I'M TALKIN TO YOU!" She screamed. Trey, Nash, Alan, and Ryan all got deathly quiet. Dario had toned it down a level, but was still snickering evilly.
Brynn pushed through the three boys in front of her, and told Anne, "Can you hold him with the trees for me? He's turning again, and I can't just drench him, he'll hit me or something! I need someone to restrain him."
Anne blinked, and then what Brynn was talking about finally sunk in to her brain. "Oh. Sure." She raised her hand and made the branches and roots of the now fully-grown, 100-foot huge oak tree, swirl into a circle, ending up wrapping tightly around Dario's body like they had with Pietro.
Once Dario was tightly secured within the heavy branches, Brynn flicked her wrist toward the boy, the flowing water following the source of movement and drenching Dario from head to toe.
Dario shook his head and blinked, then shook his head again, his short dark brown hair slightly spiky. "What? What, what?"
Bryan began laughing, and soon, the others had all joined in.
Dario just looked around and questioned,
"What did I do?"
-Some time later-
Scott looked at the new recruits who were all crowded around the foosball table, cheering on either Dario (who had changed into dry clothes) or Brynn, both who were doing extremely well.
Jean walked up to Scott and asked, "What's wrong, Scott?"
Scott gave her a small grin and replied:
"I was just wondering how I'm going to deal with this every day."

MY BETA READER IS OUT OF TOWN, SO IS MY ALPHA, SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE MUCH HELP UNLESS THEY COME BACK EARLY. PLEASE FORGIVE THE SLOW UPDATING, BUT IF YOU LIKE THIS STORY, YOU'RE IN LUCK, BECAUSE I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE WRITERS BLOCK OR RUN OUT OF STORY IDEAS (unlike some of my other stories) I WILL ACTUALLY BE –UPDATING- THIS STORY, SO KEEP READING!

I am SERIOUSLY sorry if I got any info on the O.C.'s wrong (I wrote it over, but I'm not sure if it's all correct.) If it's not correct, just tell me, and I'll point it out to other people in the next chapter.
Powers WILL be explained sooner or later. I know I did that with the B- Hood people, but right now I'm just too lazy, and I had had this chapter almost planned out anyway.
Here are the basic ages even though I'll restate it later anyway: Dario is 16, Brynn is 17, Nash is 16, Anne is 16, Alan is 18 (but ya can't tell, he acts like a kid! XP), Ryan is 17, and Trey is 22 (*shock from the crowd* He's that old?)
