Hello everyone. Sorry I didn't but any introduction in the first chapter. I guess I was so excited about putting it up that I forgot a few things. Well anyway, X-men does not belong to me. I know this and I have accepted it. But I do own April and Jeff. Please R&R

The boy got up and looked at the ball in his hands. His clothes were torn and ragged. They looked really old. He didn't know where he was so he decided to find out. He walked a couple of feet before he noticed a group of people looking at him.

"Hey bub," Wolverine said to the strange kid. "Have you seen a girl who was just over there?"

"No I haven't" The boy replied

"Who are you?" Jean said politely.

"Jeff." The boy responded.

"Are you lost? We can help you if you are." Jean said with a smile

"No I'm not lost. I think I just lost track of where I was going. I will be on my way now. Thanks." Jeff said and then walked away from the school leaving the X-men confused for a second then they went back to their business.

Jeff looked around the city. It was huge and everything was different then he remembered. He went into a couple of stores some things caught his eyes. He saw electronic games for kids, and many other things but the thing that surprised him the most was a calendar that said 1998.

What? 1998? It's supposed to be 1690. Something is defiantly wrong. I was sucked into the ball but I couldn't have been in there for 300 years! Could I?

Jeff took a minute to think things over and then came up with an explanation.

So I have been in the ball for 300 years. I couldn't get out on my own so I stayed there. Then someone started shaking the ball which in turn shook me. Then I'm out here.

Jeff looked down at the ball that was still in his hands. The skull stared back and he heard someone.

"What happened? Where am I?" The voice belonged to April.

"I can answer the question." Jeff said talking to her. He knew a bunch about what it was like to be in that ball. You could scream all you wanted but no one would hear you unless they had the power to.

"Who are you?" April said her voice shaky.

"You can call me Jeff. What's yours?" Jeff was strangely calm about all this.

"My name's April." This was weird how could she be talking to someone she couldn't see. "Where am I?"

"You are inside that ball you picked up." Jeff smiled.

"How did I do that?" This guy was really creeping April out. Could she have sucked herself into the ball without knowing it?

"I will explain everything to you as soon as I find a place where it's quite." Jeff said and he went around the city trying to find a place that he could talk to April without looking like he was insane.

He came to an abandoned house and went inside. "Okay now you need to listen and not inturrpet me because I am still confused about this, so don't ask questions." Jeff said. "Okay as far as I know I have the power to suck people into ordinary objects. And, well, one day I had to escape from something and I put myself inside this ball. But I couldn't get myself out, so I stayed inside the ball. My only guess is that you also have this power to suck souls into objects. So then when you caught the ball your power released me from the ball but also put you inside." Jeff finished his theory.

"So does that mean that you could let me out of the ball?" April wanted to get back to the school and tell Xavier so that he would know and maybe even help her with her powers.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I am going to." Jeff replied

"But…But I let you out of the ball." April wanted to get out of the stupid thing. Everything looked weird and was different inside it.

"Yeah, but just because you did something for me doesn't mean I'm going to do something for you." Jeff said smiling then he put the ball in his pocket and tuned out anything that April was trying to say.

In the shadows yellow eyes could be seen through the dark.
