I just want to thank everyone that R&R my story I hope you like this chapter I think its going to rock the X-world. So on with the show…
"What the hell do you mean that there's machines that hunts mutants." Logan slams his fist on the desk near Professor Xavier. It was a bright sunny day as the sun shined through the window open to the garden of the mansion. The room was an office with a large golden brown desk and computer that seem to blend in seamlessly. The Professor was sitting behind the desk, focusing on nothing in particular. Their were two other men the room besides the Professor and Logan
Scott flips though the file, "It says it right here. Its like they've been planning on getting rid of mutants for a while, since the statue incident." Scott throws the file onto the desk in front of Logan as he walking toward the window, "How did the boy get the file? How are we support to act when we don't know anything about this guy or who he is."
"James Harrison is the man that developed the experiment call the Cure, which was to cure mutants of their aliments but it end up killing them. 40 subjects, 40 died bodies all of which had families that were so upset they sue him causing him to shut down the experiments." Hank stood up from his chair and walked toward the desk and pick up the file
"Later it was said, that Stryker employed him to continue with the experiments but in a different direction. That is what the boy told me. Right now, Rogue is giving our guest a tour of the mansion and later tonight hopefully he'll explain how he got it but until then we have to common down and focus on the problem at hand, which is our students." The Professor roll from behind his desk and headed towards the door.
In the garden…
"This maze was built by Storm and Logan", Rogue pointed towards the opening of the maze as they both passed by it. The garden was beautiful with all the wild flower and purple orchids all over bring the garden to life
"So this is a school for mutants, not one person here, is…normal?" He looks down at the ground for a moment then scratches at the back of his neck
"Yeah, well not everyone out there would accept us for who we are." Rogue stops and turns to face him. "You of all people should know that, I mean Stryker kidnapped you and held you prisoner." She stops and places her hand on her head as if she had a headache. "I'm sorry; one of the flaws of my mutation is that when I touch someone I take their abilities, their memory and personality. At times, those personalities come out with me realizing it. That's why I wear gloves all the time, to protect myself from that happening."
He stand their stunned and wide eyed at what he just saw, "Heh, yeah you must be great at parties then. I think I we should continue with the tour." They both continue walking through the garden till they came across a basketball court and some teens playing. "Its must stinks sometimes, that you can't touch anyone, must get lonely."
"Well I have Bobby and all my friends here to help me cope, even thought I can't physical touch anything I still experience the world in my own special way."
"My name is Terry, but my friends call me Star," he points to the necklace with the star charm. "I was a DJ at Philly nightclub for teens called Diamond, before I got drag into this. I got the nickname Star because of that British song call Starfire. I was just starting out there at the club and I hadn't developed a name yet. I mix a few records then spun in that song and the crowd went wild and started chanting Star, so the name stuck with me ever since." Terry give Rogue a smug look and start walking with a little pep in his step.
"Woo there sugar', don't go getting a big head now", they both begin laughing.
Later that evening…
All the X-men gathered in the living room. The room was in the front to the mansion, which seems to be most elegant, from the large fireplace to the bookshelves and swayed couches it had a claiming feeling to it. The Professor was in front of everyone in the dimly lit room. Terry and Rogue enter the room, "What is this, I thought professor that you and me were suppose to talk privately?" Terry looks around at everyone in the room in.
"I think its time you answer some questions, 'Bubb. Like what's your name?" Logan stands up.
"Logan, were not here to scare the boy. I'm sorry but the information that you gave us, seem a bit surreal to be true." Scott walks over from the bookshelves and sit down in the arm chair.
"Scott is right, I was kind enough not to search your mind for answers but you need to tell us what going on", the Professor rolls over to the boy as Rogue and Logan take a seat.
"Ok, well I'll start from the beginning, my name is Terry. About five mouths ago, I was dating this girl name Jessica Harrison at my school, Belleview High. Her father was a Raciest so he didn't like the idea that his daughter was dating a black guy. We started dating in secret never letting her father no what was going on. We got really close, close enough that she shared her secret with me. She was a mutant, I'm still not sure what her abilities were, but part of it involved her being able to fly. One night, we stayed out a little late and she had to sneak in, I kissed her goodnight and she flew up to her second story window. I think her father was watching us because the next thing I know we're waking up in this weird facility somewhere in some tip of cantonment unit or something. He keep saying 'that I done this to her, that I infected her with this mutant disease.' He tortured me for days, trying to find out what I did to change her. That fact is I wasn't a mutant, but I went along with it as long as they focus on me not on her, I was fine."
"You mean that you were we're protecting a mutant because you love her", Logan was wide eyed in amazement. "Are you hearing this, Professor? This is a bunch of bullsh.."
"He's telling the truth, Logan." The Professor places his hand on the Terry's shoulder, "Please continue."
"He tried all kinds of experiments on me but none of them paned out. He was getting up set, so one night after tortured me, they throw me back into the cell. Last thing I remembered was her whisper in my ear 'Thank you' and something else I can't remember. I woke up the next morning the cell was open, she was dead and this Star necklace was in my hand. I grabbed a bunch of files that had our information and ran. I've been running ever since", his hand starts to shake.
"Its ok, there was nothing you could do." Storm takes the boys hand, "She in a better place now, safe, sound and looking after you."
"I still can't get past the fact that he murders his own daughter because he thought you turned her into a mutant. Just that shire fact blows the mind in ways unimaginable." Hank places his paws together as if pandering something.
"This project that Harrison created involves this machine called Master Mold, which develops these mutant hunting robots. All I want is to destroy these files and kill Harrison with my own bare hands, but these files are the only thing that can prove that there are crazy people out their holding there very own Salem witch trials." Terry looks at the Professor.
"We'll try to help you find peace of mind but kill is not what we do," Scott gets up.
"We crave people new one though," Logan clutches his fist popping his claws
Terry leaves the room heading towards the kitchen, everyone is still talking in the room but no one notices him leave expect Rogue. She gets up and follows him, through the kitchen and out the back door. The sky filled with stars and a full moon, each star glowing and shimmering like pebbles in a pond. As she approaches him sitting on the back step, she can hear him crying. She wants to say something but doesn't know what to say. "I never really had a chance to think about what happened to her, it's like a bad dream that I keep dreaming over and over again."
She places her hand on his shoulder, looking up at the sky and seeing a shooting star streaking across lighting up the sky. "I wish I could say more but all I can say is that I'm sorry." He takes off the necklace and looks at it.
