Chapter 1: After School Confrontations

PLEASE Read and Review! This is my first X-Men fic and I would like to know what people think. I hope that you will not turn away from it because it contains OC's. If you do it's your loss, but this is not your ordinary X-Men Evolution fic. This story takes place during Sharli's story Challenge. Her story focused on the Brotherhood; this story focuses on the X-Men. I hope you enjoy it.

Ryan Walker did not like it when people, especially big people, picked on younger, smaller people. And so when his little brother came home from school one day with a bloody nose and a story about a bigger kid beating up on him, Ryan felt a twinge of anger he had never quite felt before.

He wasn't really the violent type, in fact, he had tried all through out high school to avoid confrontation as much as possible, but when it came to his little brother, no one touched him. It did not take much prying to find out that the bully's name was Paul Dorsey and Ryan decided to have a civil chat with him after school.


But when the next day came, Paul Dorsey's attitude was enough to enrage anybody. He did not even try to hide the fact that he beat up numerous freshmen as an initiation into high school. No matter how hard Ryan tried to keep calm, the boy's arrogant attitude caused his temper to flare up. After an exchange of less than edifying words, Ryan completely lost it.

He knew through their whole conversation that it was going to happen, but he did not realize the magnitude of his future actions. His head and chest had been burning, and his vision blurring with a red mist, when finally, he blacked out.


Paul Dorsey on the other hand, remembered quite vividly every detail of what happened, and would until the day he died. He had been laughing at Ryan's red face when a stop sign uprooted and knocked him onto his backside. Paul picked it up and tried to swing it at Ryan but it swatted him to the ground again like a giant fly swatter. Then, a lamppost fell towards him. He rolled away, but it landed on his foot with a sickening crunch.

Paul howled in pain.

The windows of the school shattered and flew towards him but he shielded his face. He scooted back against the wall and looked up at Ryan, whose eyes had turned a bright red. Behind him, the tables rose from the ground and smashed into Paul.

He remembered nothing more...
