(A/N: You may notice that I kind of altered the X-Men Evo reality. I
personally thought the show was more interesting when humans didn't know
about mutants...if you like it the better humans do knowing about mutants
tell me)
"Wow," said Peter unable to put his gratitude in words as he looked at the room he 's going to live in. It was probably bigger than the guest bedroom. It had the same queen-size bed, a television, a desk with a computer on it, a stereo, a lamp, a fan, even a cablebox! "Um, Ororo," he said to the woman who showed him to his room. "This is...a little too much, don't you think?"
"Not at all," said Ororo. "We promised your aunt that you would be comfortable,"
Peter smiled. He wanted to argue again, but his selfish inner child told him not too. "Thanks a lot," he said to her.
"You should thank the professor. It was him who insisted on this. I'll leave you to unpack," with that said, Ororo left the room. Peter thought it would be a good idea to unpack, but he didn't want to. He barley got any sleep because of his excitement of moving to the mansion, so he decided to lay down in his extremely comfortable bed. But after probably 5 seconds of resting, there was a knock on his door.
"Who is it?" he asked not wanting to get up from his bed.
"You're velcome vagon," said an un-mistakenly familiar voice.
Peter smiled to himself. "Come in," The door opened, and Kurt, Kitty, and Rogue both walked in. "What's up, guys," he said.
"I see your enjoying your room already," said Rogue.
"Hell yeah, I am. Hey, are all of your rooms this nice?"
"Haha, yeah," Kity answered. "Unless you have a roommate,"
Petter laughed and asked. "Why? Who's yours?"
Kitty pointed to Rogue.
"Aha," said Peter. She can be a pain in the ass?
"Yes, she can" both Rogue and Kitty said in unison
Peter laughed again. "So, what are you guys doin' here?" he asked.
"Ve came to help you unpack, of course!" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey, guys," said Peter while putting hiss clothes in the closet. "Can I ask you a question,"
"No," said Kurt sarcastically while unpacking some of Peter's books.
"Right...." Pete said smiling. "Do you know a man named, Magneto?"
The three other teens froze. "OK, how come every time I say that name, everyone suddenly freezes? Could someone just tell me who the hell he is? I already know he hates humans, but...who is he?"
After a few more moments of silence, Rogue spoke up. "One of the most evil men you'll ever meet," She said while unpacking some of his clothes. Peter listened carefully. "Like the professor, he believes that all mutants should unite, but unlike the professor, he believes all mutants should unite to get rid of humans. And he does it by any means necessary. Trickery, lies, he'll even have one of his lackeys beat you to a bloody pulp till you join him,"
"Yeah...I noticed," said Peter softly. "Who are his lackeys?"
"Remember the brotherhood?" asked Rogue,
"Oh..." replied Peter.
"But not just them," said Kitty quickly. "It looks like Magneto put together a new group of mutants, not just kids though, they seem to be a little older. We confronted them about a week ago, and it wasn't pretty," Peter wanted to ask that day, but was getting a little nervous.
"It vas a god-awful day," added Kurt. "Not only did we have to fight Magneto, but we had to fight some huge anti-mutant robot-"
"Now your just making this up," interrupted Peter.
"I'm not kidding," said Kurt. "That robot was so close to reveal to the world that mutants exist. In fact, now the secret government are aware of super natural beings such as us,"
"What do you mean, secret government?" asked Peter baffled.
"He means like super classified things," Kitty answered for Kurt. "Like the Delta Force was, or Area 51-"
"Area 51 exists?"
"Looks like it," said Kitty.
"God damn..." Peter wasn't exactly prepared to take in this kind of information. It looks like the conflict between humans a mutants was slowly but surely getting closer. Peter didn't even take into consideration that there could be a war between humans and mutants, not even after his confrontation with Magneto. "Robots...Area 51..." Peter was quietly recapping everything he heard. "So what your saying is, the "secret" government is becoming aware of mutant existence, and this Magneto and his lackeys want to cause a second holocaust,"
"I'm not so sure about zhat," Kurt assured Peter. "I remember the professor telling me that Magneto was in the holocaust..."
Yet another piece of information Peter wasn't ready for, but he tried to shake it off. "Wait wait wait. The holocaust? From World War II??" The three teens nodded. "But, that's impossible!! If he was, he would be 60 or 70 years old by now, and he looked 40...50 tops,"
"Yeah," began Rogue. "Magneto used some rock and a machine to enhance his powers, but by doing that, he made his appearance younger. He might still live for another good 30 years,"
"Damn, what rock?"
"I don't know, some kinda crystal,"
Peter finally caught a vision of what he was really getting into, the whole super-hero bit. Even though Peter did stop quite a few bank robberies, murders, and mugs under his alter-ego of Spider-Man, Peter never took on any mutants, or anyone with powers. He realizes this, but he still feels like he should be here, an X-Man. Hmm....Spider-Man the X-Man...not bad.....
********
When people are forced to hide, they are constantly on the alert. Looking over their shoulder, wondering if someone's out there gunning to reveal them. I know someone like that. A scared 15 year old forced to hide behind an "image" for safety reasons. He told me, every time someone gives him an uncomfortable look, he wonders, "Does he know?"
(A/N: yes I know, another short chapter. But don't worry, more good stuff is on the way. I already started the next chapter. REVIEW!)
