Beyond Mutation : New Mutants
It's been several years since the battle against Apocolypse and the actions of the X-Men and the Brotherhood are all but forgotten.
All the X-men have graduated from school either following a career as a teacher at Charles Xavier's School for the Gifted or have headed to university.
Joining forces once more Magneto and Mystique have rebuilt the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and have been responsible for many terrorist attacks against the human governments around the world
And both Professor X and Magneto are looking for new recruits.
As he clutched an old womens hand, a young brown haired man sat next to her hospital bed. He looked over to the 2 strangers in the hospital room
"I'm sorry Professor Xavier. I can't leave her like this" he said clutching the womens hand tighter
"I understand, but the offer will always be there. Goodbye Jack." he said as he and a red haired girl left the room
"You really wanted him to join didn't you?" she asked as they continued into the LA sunshine
"His talents would be useful to us, but we can't force him. We should return home"
She nodded as they both headed toward the airport

Jack looked at the old women again. As a tear ran down his cheek she flat lined. Jolting from his chair he ran into the hall
"NURSE! NURSE!!! IT'S MY AUNT!!" he shouted as a few nurses and doctors ran into the room
He tried to look in as he heard them all shout medical terms he didn't understand. It wasn't long before a nurse came out and pushed him back
"I'm sorry sir. You'll have to step back"
"But that's my Aunt!" he stated still trying to see
"I'm sorry sir" she repeated, this time more firmly "You'll have to step back"
He clenched his fist as an orange light began to emanate from it. With a growl he stepped back and his hand returned to normal.
As he watched more doctors and nurses enter the room his fears grew. And at his most desperate moment he saw the doctor look at his watch before heading out toward him.
"Mr. Draven?" he asked Jack
"Yes?"
The doctor sighed and tried to avoid Jacks gaze
"Would you like to come with me?"
"No. Tell me here" he said sternly as the doctor still avoided his gaze
"I really think we should-"
"Please doc. Just tell me"
The doctor let out a sigh before finally looking into Jacks eyes
"I'm sorry Jack. We did all we could"
"Please no." Jack said as he let a tear roll down his cheek before heading into the room once more. "Come on Aunt Flo! Wake up" he said shaking her
"Jack" the doctor said pulling him back. "She's gone. I'm so sorry"
He sits back into a chair before crying into his hands. The doctor rested his hand on Jacks shoulder as he continued to cry.
"Do you want to see the hospital psychologist or our Chaplin?"
"No I'll be fine. Can I just have a minute?" he asked as the doctor nodded leaving him alone with her

"Professor. I think we should go back to him." Jean suddenly said as they waited for their plane
"What makes you say that Jean?"
"I felt something from him. A huge sense of grieving."
The professor sat in silence for a few seconds
"You are right. His Aunt has just died" he said solemnly as Jean nodded
"Does he have any other family?"
"No I am afraid not" he said with a sigh as he looked down to the floor
"Shouldn't we see him?"
"No. Showing up now would just confuse the boy. He will come to us when he is ready"
Jean nodded as they sat in silence once more as they waited for the plane
===
It had been 3 days since Aunt Flo's death. As he stood above the empty grave he sighed looking around and only seeing the vicar. That's when he saw the familiar bald man in a wheelchair in the distance
After the service was over he was approached by the Professor once more
"A beautiful service don't you think?" he asked as Jack walked past him
"I suppose you paid for all this?" he asked gently. The professor nodded "Thank you" Jack said before walking past once more
"Have you thought about my offer since we last met?"
Jack stopped in his tracks and turned back to the professor
"I hardly think this is the time or the place" he said sternly staring the professor down
"I believe it is. A seventeen year old can't be expected to pay off a mortgage"
"I'll find a way." he said starting to leaving once more
"The offer still stands Jack. I hope you change your mind" He said before turning and heading toward his limo
Jack wasn't so lucky. Getting into his very old car he drove back to his home. He lived in a nice house in Venice. It was a nice neighborhood to. The nearest gangs were miles away and there was even white picket fencing. Inside was a different matter. He hadn't cleaned since Aunt Flo entered the hospital a month ago. He sighed making his way to the kitchen and opening the fridge. Empty. He looked in the cupboards. Empty. Sighing he made his way back into the living room and turned on the TV. It wasn't long until he fell asleep in front of it

Resting his head on his hands the Professor pondered about Jacks situation. How could a seventeen year old student pay all the bills and any debt the Draven's had. Looking at the rain splatter against his window the professor sighed. He was about to call the other X-men when Cerebro alerted that a new mutant had emerged. Quickly turning around he headed down to Cerebro. Putting the helmet on he began to scan for the new mutant

Reading, England
In the middle of a department store a security guard lies unconscious with 3 pin like bones sticking out his chest. A blonde dread locked, seventeen year old girl lies on the floor as 3 small holes from her wrist heal over. She watches in shock as someone rushes to the security guards aid.
"I didn't mean... It just...Mum?" she said as everyone stared at her
"SHE'S A MUTANT!" one shouted pointing at her
"SHE TRIED TO KILL HIM!" shouted another
"No I...It was..."
"MUTIE SCUM"
The girl turned to her mother who was crying her eyes out
"Mum?" she said reaching out to her, but her mom knocked her hand away. Causing several more spikes to fly out hitting some cans spraying soda all over the store. "Mu-"
"Your not my daughter" she said through her tears before getting up and running out the store
She sat in terror as several people started to make their way toward her.
"Get back" she said scrambling backwards "LEAVE ME ALONE!" she said as several larger spikes appeared from her wrists
Everyone stepped back as veins in the spikes turned crimson. An escape route was made as she managed to get out of the store and onto the streets. Several pedestrians screamed in horror at the sight of the crimson spikes. She panicked and ran down an alley. Climbing a fire escape and making her way to the roof of the store. As she did she saw someone. A man in a wheel chair sat in front of her
"Please don't hurt me. It was an accident. I never meant to-" she started before being cut off by him
"Ssh. I am Professor Charles Xavier. I apologize if I have given you a shock Kimberley."
"How do you know my name?" she asked sceptically
"Because I am like you. I am a mutant"
"I'm listening"
The professor chuckled slightly before continuing. "I'm here to offer you a place at my academy. It is somewhere people like you can find safety from oppression. You can also learn how to control your powers" he said indicating her spikes, which were now slowly retracting. "I would very much like you to join us"
Kimberley watched as the spikes totally disappeared under her skin "I don't have a choice. I don't have any parents anymore"
Professor X nodded before wheeling over to her "My X-Men will arrive in 20 minutes to pick you up"
This was when she noticed he was slightly translucent
"Your not here are you?"
"No I am not. I am using a machine that amplifies my powers 10 fold. Letting me speak to mutants all over the planet"
Kimberley looked at him in awe as she passed her hand through the 'hologram'
"Freaky" she said before she heard a sonic boom. Looking up she saw a small black dot quickly getting bigger "I guess thats them"
"Indeed it is. Now I apologize, but I must leave. There is someone at my door. I'm very much looking forward to you joining us" As he said that he disappeared.
"Totally weird" she mumbled as the Jet slowed down above her. She covered her face with her arm as dust from the engines span around her. The door to the jet opened and she cautiously bordered

Taking the helmet off. Professor Xavier began to make his way toward the hall and the front door. He passed some of his past students who had now stayed on as teachers, such as Kurt Wagner who was now a language teacher at the school. The professor smiled at him as he continued down eventually getting to the door. As he opened it he saw a dark figure in a long raincoat, holding a suitcase. The rain was still falling heavilly on him as he stood in front of the Professor
"Is that offer still available?" the figure asked
"It is indeed Jack. Welcome to the X-men"

Well as you may have guessed my original version of Beyond Mutation was removed by fanfiction.net. I don't really want to go into it, but I'm very upset that someone decided to report my story "MAinly because it sucked" And because of this I have decided to remove Alex Rogers, Phoebe Night, Mila Zakharov and Peter Harper. I really love your characters and I apologize to each author for not using them, but I don't wanna risk my story being removed again.
On the plus side though it has given me the chance to start over and introduce some new characters I came up with. Their Bios are all on my profile so if you wanna check them out feel free. There are 12 so far!
Hope your enjoying please R/R
