Summary: Magneto has made a machine that either amplifies or creates new mutant power and has used it on four already. But now those four have turned against him and made new friends at Professor Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. To reclaim his loss, Magneto kidnaps the four runaways as well as two young X-Men.
Chapter 1: A Beginning Situation
In Westchester, New York, a small car of people drove up the driveway of a huge mansion. A brick wall and lots of greenery surrounded this large house blocking out any un-welcomed person. When the car parked a young man wearing sunglasses turned around to face his backseat passengers.
"Alright now, you three go straight to the Professor and tell him about your trip to the park today. Before he finds out," the driver said. The three troublemakers glared at their driver. When they realized that he wasn't going to change his mind, they sighed, grabbed their bags and heaved themselves out of the car and up to the house.
"You know, Scott, the incident was thought as part of the show. The tourists didn't even know," a gentle voice came from beside him. Scott Summers looked at his red-haired passenger, Jean Grey. Scott sighed and shook his head.
"Yes, I know, but they need to learn that they can not expose themselves. Not until the people can accept us," he said.
"And how long will that be? Scott, the people are stubborn and afraid of change. Especially when it's something they don't understand. It will be awhile before they accept us. By the way, the Professor and I give another speech before the representatives. I need to review my notes. I'll see you inside," she said as she flipped her long red hair and got out.
Scott shook his head again and drove the car around into the garage. He got out and began to walk around. When he stopped, he hadn't realized where he was walking. He now stood in front of a bench under a weeping willow, one of his favorite spots. He sat down and began to think.
Jean is right. It will be a long time before anyone accepts us, he thought, even with all the talks and speeches she and the Professor give. Scott sighed and thought back to when and how he had first come to the mansion. He remembered back to when he would always get huge headaches, and how one day all the pressure decided to come out, but as a red laser through his eyes. And he painfully remembered all the people's screams and cries. The loudest scream was someone calling him a freak.
Hearing doors slam, Scott looked up to see people streaming from the building. He smiled at himself. Everyone here had been called a freak at one time or another. In the yard he saw Kitty Pryde, a young girl who could walk through solid objects; Kurt Wagner, a blue devilish looking man from Germany who was able to teleport short distances. There was Rogue, a girl who absorbed a person's memories and abilities by a physical touch, sitting with Bobby Drake, a young teen with ice powers. And lastly, he saw Jean who like their Professor had telepathic abilities, but she also had telekinetic abilities. She was walking with another adult, Logan. Logan was a man whose power was a healing factor and the ability to produce metal claws from his hands.
Breaking through his thoughts, a strong voice rang out in his head. Scott knew instantly who it was, Professor Xavier, the owner of the mansion.
"X-Men, I need you in my office immediately." Hearing this, Scott looked up and made eye contact with Jean. Jean nodded, then she and Logan went back into the building. Scott sighed, ran his hands through his brown hair and made his way to the door, knowing the news would not brighten his day.
Professor Charles Xavier sat at his office desk and waited upon the arrival his team leaders. He had just received a disturbing call from another one of his leaders. Although with the power to manipulate the weather, Strom was in town only to run a few errands, not to find trouble. All-of-the-sudden, his double doors swung open and Scott, Jean, and Logan walked in.
"You called?" Logan asked gruffly.
"Yes," the Professor said as he wheeled himself in front of his desk, "I just got a call from Storm. Apparently while driving home from town, she saw a group of Magneto's students hanging around the science and technology center of the university."
"You think he's going to spring something?" Scott inquired.
"I'm not entirely sure, but I do want you to ready a team and meet up with Storm. Make sure you are not seen when you confront them. Also take enough people just in case Magneto or Mystique is supervising them," the Professor explained. The three nodded, then left the room.
Professor Xavier shook his head and wondered how difficult his life would by if none of the four adults were there to help him. He smiled at himself, he already had a difficult task in front of him: speaking to the representatives. So, he took out his notes and reviewed once again hoping his points would help bring harmony between human and mutants.
At the university, a small dark blue car sat across the street. Four young people sat in the car, looking as if they themselves should be class. In the driver's seat was Tamiko Kaneshige, a young woman with dark brown hair falling just to her shoulders. Next to her was John Marian; an eighteen-year old teen with short black hair slightly gelled back. Sitting in the back was Michele Dimichelli, a nineteen-year old girl with short mouse brown hair and leaf colored eyes, and Kevin Kaneshige, a young teen with short spiky black hair. John leaned over to tap Tamiko on the shoulder.
"Hey, listen I know we're waiting, but just to let you know, this is very boring," he complained. Tamiko only turned to face him and made a face. Then breaking the silence a loud growl came from the back. Both looked back at Tamiko's younger brother, Kevin.
"What?" Kevin asked innocently, "I'm hungry." He smirked at his sister then checked his hair in the window to see if it was still in place.
"You always think with your stomach," Michele said rolling her eyes. "Oh, and just to say, Tami, another car pulled up next to the one with the white-haired lady. But I don't think they saw them…heck they haven't even seen us yet. Anyways, there are three more adults and six kids altogether. They all have on some kid of uniform too. What are they trying to do…signal an audience?"
"Are they the X-Men Magneto told us about?" Kevin asked leaning over Michele to get a better look.
"Yes, that's them," Tamiko told her brother.
"Well, now what?" Kevin replied, "you know with them here things might get complicated."
"We'll just have to wait for their move and then work around them," Tamiko replied.
"Great. More waiting," John muttered and settled back. Tamiko could only smile at her companion's impatience.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. The next ones are coming up.
