Mareo and Anime: Yes you did just say poor toad, but don't worry he'll be happy in this chapter. Decible isn't gone, she just isn't here right this second; it's all part of the subplot that was suggested and i must say, love the idea. Don't worry, next chapter with have an intro for Decible, i promise!

Agent-G: Whoa, dude, thats a lot of reviews. The part about Todd joinijng the Brotherhood with be answered when he and Kale swap stories around. In this chapter, you see what happened when Kale was first brought to the mansion. So you like Dragonlance and Stephen King? You rock even more. I made up Amara's culture part just to add some flavor, i hope not too many people mind. Glad to like the meeting of Rahne and Kale, and no they aren't going to go at it right away; I actually haven't worked out the part of them hooking up. and whta do you mean by "gary stu"? Me lost. Yes there is an extensive backstory now that i ahve thought about it and it will revolve around the reason of the Kale's and Todd's escape and why the rest of the team didn't join them and yes, Phoenix will be very scary. Run very fast. Oh and there won't be that much crossing over with Elektra and Daredevil; I'll just steal on cool character. Now, I want to hear about this story of yours that is extremely similar to mine because i haven't read any of your fics and i'm a little scared to now that you say how similar it is.

iamhollywood: The fight betweenKale and Logan was one of the few scenes were i didn't ahve to think about what i wrote, i just wrote.I'm glad you liked the back story and i hope you like the future twists in it. It's nice that you like the foreplay with Kale and Rahne and it might get painful to watch because they might beat around the bush as to when they get together. I knowI have to keep writing; thats what all my friends at school say.

I hope you will enjoy the story and review alot. NOW GET ON AND READ, GODDAMMIT

First days and Reuniting a Lost Family

Kale lay sprawled out in his bed, his breathing erratic and labored; he was sleeping for his second night in the mansion and he was still being plagued by his nightmares. Normally, he could fight off the horrific scenes of cruelty he had once lived and could deal with suppressing them with rigorous training and exercise, mainly going for a swim. But there were time when nothing could stave off the soul breaking images that he had locked away in his mind.

Kale snarled subconsciously as he felt his nightmare tapped dance around in his head, the darkest one replaying the most; his torture and experimentation by the Hassassin's Blade to make him and his brother stronger fighters and deadlier assassins.

Strapped down by leather and wire cord to a steel table with several IV tubes stuck in his arms, chest and throat; he snarls as he tries to free himself but he can't. Catching a glimpse of himself, Kale saw he had a power suppressor strapped to his forehead that was jamming his super strength and his dragon appearance.

A man stand above his boxer clad body and suddenly red and green liquid begin to flow into his body; his flesh is suddenly boiling under his skin and Kale screams as his body starts to spasm.

A burning sensation starts to build in his chest and rises up his throat to his mouth; the pain is so unbearable that Kale nearly faints. With a roar, Kale breathes his first dragon flame and makes a wall explode

Through the gaping hole Kale sees Todd also strapped down and injected with tubes. Suddenly, Todd begins to glow a luminescent green his muscles bulging and his eyes burning an amber-like color.

Kale suddenly felt his body yanked around and he turns to see a needle hovering over his face. The tip has some kind of black slime forming a drop on the end on the needle; suddenly the needle dropped down, right towards his eyes.

Kale's eyes snapped open and his body snapped up in bed, his hyper-keened senses scanning the room; when he was satisfied that he was safe, Kale dropped his head against his chest and took a lot of deep breathes before swinging his feet off the bed.

Looking at his clock Kale saw it was barely past six, the predawn light glowing across the grounds. Standing up, Kale walked over to his drawers and dressed in black sweatpants and a sleeveless hooded shirt. Picking up his sneakers, Kale silently walked down the stairs and out the front door.

Lashing up his laces, Kale took off a dead sprint and raced across the grounds; he raced through the woods at the same speed and never slowed down. Leaping over logs and ducking under branches, Kale only stopped when he reached the gate and looked at the watch the Professor had given him.

It had taken him barely fifteen minutes to make it through the woods at half his full speed and this made Kale feel a little more ready for the day he was going to have. Professor Xavier had decided that it would do Kale some good to attend the local school, Bayville High. Kale was glad that he was going to be going to a normal school for once and a little scared.

Kale chuckled at the thought; one of the worlds most respected and feared assassins was afraid to go to his first day of high school…in his whole life. Leaning against he wall for a moment, Kale took off again through the forest and this time he went at his full speed; his blood pumping in his ears and his heart racing, Kale never felt move alive when he stopped at the steps. He then remembered the time that Rahne had been feeling his back and smiled, it was a close second to the feeling of her hands.

Kale raced through the forest and back two more times and when he was done, the sun was just peaking over the trees. Panting slightly, Kale walked into the mansion and made his way to the kitchen. Kale had memorized the entire lower floor level after his first dinner and since then had no trouble finding his way around.

Pushing the door open, Kale saw Ororo Munroe setting the table and notice that she didn't see him. Walking in silently, kale hoped up on the counter side and waited for the older woman to turn around; when she did, Ororo did her best to stifle a scream but she did leap a full foot in the air.

"Goddesses child, you startled me." She said breathlessly.

"Sorry" Kale said with a grin, sliding off the counter. "Force of habit and I like seeing the faces you make when you try and not scream."

Kale had met Ororo when he had his first dinner in the X-Mansion and found her to an exceptionally warm person, liking her instantaneously. She and Kale had spent most of the evening talking, along with Rahne who couldn't seem to keep away from him. Not that he minded.

Walking towards the table, Kale loaded his plate up with a various muffins, sausages, eggs and potatoes. He then walked over to the window and sat down cross legged with his plate in the middle of his legs, his back leaning against the wall; he then began to eat slowly, glancing out the window every few seconds and sighing.

"What is it, child?" Ororo asked, slightly amused by the teen's anxious actions.

"I'm just a little nervous." Kale said as he played with his scrambled eggs.

"Everybody is nervous on their first day in a new school." Ororo said motherly. "Just pretend it was you last school."

"Ms. Munroe, I've never been to a high school; hell, I haven't been to school period." Kale said awkwardly which cause Ororo to gape at him.

"You mean you have had any kind of schooling?" Ororo asked, as Logan walked in the room.

"No, it's not like that. I was given an education but at the level it was, it was more like GCSE that a normal high school education." Kale explained, lifting another mouthful of food into his mouth.

"GCSE? " Ororo asked a little puzzled.

"Stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education, darling." Logan said gruffly as he got a cup of coffee. "Similar to the SAT exams but you do more work for them."

"Right, but mind you I'm a little rusty so it'll be good to relearn everything." Kale added, shoveling the last bits of his food in his mouth. "Mmmm, I gotta learn how to cook like that."

Standing up, Kale went around the table getting another plateful. Just as he was done, Kurt lazily walked in and sat down at the table, yawning. Kale laughed at the blue mutant, knowing full well why he was so tired.

"Gutten Morgen, mein freund. And how are we this morning?" Kale asked cheerfully sitting opposite Kurt and laughed when Kurt gave him an evil look.

"You are truly evil, you know Drache?" Kurt said grabbing a muffin and started eating it.

"Aw, come on Kurt, admit it; shaving cream bombs fun." Kale said through his laughter.

"Ja, shaving cream bombs with food coloring and glitter is absolutely hilarious…Not!" Kurt said a little miffed. "Do you know how hard it is to get that stuff out of fur?"

"Hey, it was payback from me and the girls when you and the popsicle iced up the bathrooms and locked the door." Kale said in a mock warning tone, pointing his fork at Kurt who was fidgeting under his look. "Be glad you didn't get what Bobby got."

"Do I even want to know?" Kurt asked lamely, as he watched the draconic teen eat.

Suddenly, a scream rang out from the Mansion and was soon followed by several thumps, and the slamming of doors, followed by hysterical shrieks from the girls and roars of laughter from the guys. Kale paused when he heard the scream but went back to eating and Logan raised an eyebrow at the teen's act of innocence.

"How'd ya get him, eh Scales?" Logan asked, using Kale's new nickname.

"Why, Logan, I have no idea what talking about." Kale said as he walked out of the room, putting his plate in the sink as he went.

Kale was sitting outside on the steps waiting for Scott and the other X-Men that attended Bayville high. He had changed into a pair of black baggy jeans with a black belt, a dark green shirt with a tribal dragon painting on it, a black and red leather jacket and black shoes. Kale was glad that most of his clothes were salvageable from his house, mainly for the fact that Jubilee had offered to take him shopping in the local mall; Kale didn't know why, but this seemed to send off warning signals and politely declined.

Preached on his face, was a pair of circular shades on a metal frame and a pair of head phones were on his head, playing a European band called Bush. He was listening to the song "The Chemicals Between Us", slightly grooving to the music and keeping an ear out for Scott.

Slowly, Kale began to feel the dull pulses of someone walking to the front door and turns around to see Kitty, Rogue, Jean, Scott and Kurt walk out the front door. Turning off his CD player and stuffing it in his bag, Kale stood up and stretched slightly.

"Hey you guys, what took you so long?" Kale asked, as they made their way to him, getting a few chuckles.

"Some of us, like, don't wake up at the crack of dawn for a run, Kale." Kitty said rolling her eyes before giving him a look. "In fact, most of us like our sleep."

"Really; now I could never have known that." Kale said sarcastically as he followed everybody to Scott's car.

"Hey Kale, you know thoze glassez make you look like Seraph, from ze Matrix." Kurt said.

"Who from what?" Kale asked, tilting his head in confusion as he stopped by the red sports car.

"Whoa sugar, you ain't heard of the Matrix movies?" Rogue asked, hopping he was joking.

"You mean there's more than one?" Kale asked incredulously as he raised his shades, his eyebrows shooting up and he watched as the other mutants jaws dropped. "So I don't get much, so sue me."

The whole ride to school was filled with Kurt, Kitty and Rogue explaining to Kale what had happened in the two new Matrix movies, with the odd comment thrown in by Jean and Scott. Kale also found out about various other movies he had never heard of, like Analyze That, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Underworld.

Kale had heard of some of them because he had seen various trailers on the T.V. but he didn't watch much T.V. when he was in the Genesi Squad and it was very rare that they got a chance to watch moves, mainly by begging and blackmailing some of their superiors.

They arrived at the school in fifteen minutes and Kale got a good look at the school and smiled. Students happy and carefree were walking around enjoying themselves; all the talking, laughing, joking, yelling gave Kale a feeling of such peace and happiness, that his emotions skyrocketed and let out a wave of happiness.

Jean felt the wave and looked at him in amazement and then gave him a warm smile, which he returned with a wink. Jean watched as Kale walked with Scott to the main doors, telling him where places where and showing him the way to principals office; he was a mystery and a bit unsettling when she first saw him in the medical bay.

She hadn't been able to read his mind because he had such powerful defenses in his mind, defenses he must have built up for years. Jean shuddered as she remembered when Xavier first broke the wall holding his mind back and how he had at first hadn't been able to pull himself free, but soon had to stay lock with Kale's mind.

Jean watched as Logan carried a teenager in a fireman's cradle into the infirmary and set him down on a spare bed. The boy's clothes were burnt and soaked down to his skin, but when she put her wrist against his forehead it was scalding hot. Looking down on his face, Jean saw his unshaven face and his fiercely spiked red hair made him seem almost older than he really was.

Looking down his face she saw three necklaces sticking out; military dog tags, a Celtic cross and half of a Japanese Yin Yang. Lifting up the dog tags, Jean red off the inscription

"Lt. Kale Nority; Shadow Ops, 2226699; what does it mean?" Jean asked a little confused.

"It might be the boy's father and the dog tags are his only object of remembrance. What happened to him, Logan?" Hanks asked turning from the tags.

"We saw him beenin' blasted out of a house. By the smells on him, it was grenade; not to mention all the beer I can smell from him, he must have been it hittin' it pretty hard." Logan said, standing off to the side as Dr. McCoy began to evaluate him. "Skidded for twenty or so feet in the mud before he came to stop…and the kid's still breathing."

"My stars and garters, he must have a powerful mutation to withstand that degree of an attack." Hank said, as he looked at the boys face.

"Prof says he's got some kind of metamorphic abilities as well enhanced strength and senses. Like Furtop's mutation." Logan said, folding his arms across his chest.

Hank had moved to the side of red haired teen and looked through some of the holes in his shirt, his eye widening at what he saw. Picking a pair of scissors, Hank cut away the shirt on the teen in front of him and gasped as did Jean when they saw what was under the fabric. Scarlet red scars covered his chest, ribs, biceps and shoulders, making his look like some horrific voodoo doll made by a three year old.

Jean recognized the scars running up his stomach and onto his ribs were electrical burns from a high voltage source and the cut on his ribs were probably from a knife or a machete, but the bite marks on his arms and the circular slices from his shoulder to his hip were terrifying.

"Who would do this to a kid?" Hank asked in a hush voice.

"Kid's seen combat first hand and by the looks of the scars, at very young age. The electrical burns are the most recent on him, going round the harden scar tissue to the softer stuff." Logan said, his voice disturbingly calm, he then narrowed his eyes. "What's that on his chest and right arm; tattoos?"

Jean leaned over the scarred body and looked on his chest; just avoiding the crescent like cuts, was a wolfs paw done in some tribal or Celtic form, almost as if the wolf had pressed it's paw against his chest and branded him Stepping back and lifting up the teen's right arm to Kale, they saw a military still badge with a dragon on it. Underneath it were two words written in an old English style; Jean squinted to make out what the text meant.

"'Genesi Squad'; what does that mean, Logan?" Jean asked turning to face the gruff Canadian, when she saw him looking under his arm.

"Lift him up so his in a sitting position." Logan said walking to the bed. "There something on his back."

Jean held out her hand and focused, using her telekinesis to lift the man into a sitting position slowly while Beast supported his head. When she was sure Logan had a good hold on the teen's arms, she let go and looked at his back; Beast had to take deep breathes as Jean ran into the bathroom.

The burns continued around his back and went even further up, almost until his mid back. Eight claws marks were lined down his back, obviously all done at once because they were in such perfect alignment. Logan looked across his shoulders and saw a jagged cut that been deliberately cut down to his bones.

"By the mother of god, who would do this to him?" Hanks asked, as he and Logan lay the kid down.

"I don't know Hank, but I hope the Professor can tell us." Logan said, as the doors opened and Ororo and Xavier walked in.

"How is he, Logan?" Xavier asked him, his voice soft.

"My personal guess" Logan said standing aside so they could see the teenager's condition "is hammered shit."

Ororo had seen mangled bodies before when she had stayed in Africa and Xavier had been in the Second World War, exposing him to the darks sides of humanity. Both teachers were horrified by the violent and wickedness his scars displayed; the sight brought Ororo close to tears when she saw how some of those scar were cause by pure hatred while Xavier closed his eyes, trying to hold his own rage at the men that did this to him.

"How could this have happened to him, Charles?" Ororo asked, her hands hovering by her face.

"I don't know Storm, but I am going to find out." Xavier said, wheeling himself over to the boy and placing his hands on either side of his head.

Jean watched how Kale laughed with Kurt and Kitty, while Scott was being flustered by the two younger X-Men; Xavier had spent hours with Kale alone in his mind. When he was done the Professor was silently and shamelessly crying and went to bed for the rest of the evening. Jean often wondered what he had seen to move him like that but whatever it had been was extremely emotionally powerful because it nearly brought Logan to tears.

It was even more shocking how he had gone at it with Logan and the New Mutants; holding back until it came with Rahne and Logan, because they both had a animalistic part of them that was more dominant than most people. And that brought another part of Kale to Jean's mind that she thought was interesting.

It was how he and Rahne seemed to bond, both shy around each other yet at the same time unnaturally comfortable around each other. Jean had accidentally caught a glimpse of what Rahne was thinking about Kale and nearly choked on her drink. She then saw how similar it was to Kale and had to smile; they were so alike yet completely different people.

Jean smiled at the conversation that they had before they left, with Kale promising to go for a forest run with her since they both yearned for the outdoors. She watched at some of the girls at the school tried to with Kale who awkwardly excused himself and went inside, his hands gripping the sleeves of his jacket tightly. Jean turned around as she heard a jeep pull and groaned inwardly; The Brotherhood had arrived.

Kale sat outside of the Principle's office and was adding details to his drawing; he had been here since after the bell had rung and had been told by the secretary to wait for the assembly to finish. Kale had shrugged, sat down and pulled out his drawing pad. The drawing was a picture of a demon and an angel on either side of someone, whispering in his ears to make him chose between something.

Kale was gently shading in the characters, his focus on the poor person he had made to be the focal of the two spirits. Kale would glance up every now and again, to see weather the Principle was coming or not and then go back to drawing.

"This sucks, yo!" Those words froze Kale and made him drop his book and his pencil as well as his jaw, freezing his whole body with joy. "Don't even do something and he sends me to his office."

Kale watched as teenager walked through the doors and stopped in half stride, his jaw dropping like Kale's had. The boy was maybe a head height shorter than him, roughly at Rahne's height. He had long gangly hair that was a dark sage green color, which in the back reached his shoulders. His eyes were a golden amber color, similar to the amber that encased ancient bugs. He had a fairly wide face with strong cheek and chin definitions; his skin had a slight green hue to it and his hands were webbed.

Kale slowly felt himself standing up and walking towards the slightly smaller kid, his mind and sense screaming halleluiah; shrugging off his jacket and pushing his long sleeve up on his left arm, he turned and showed the teen the military tattoo, ignoring the gasp from the secretary. The reaction was one Kale would purposely burn into his mind; the teen smiled and pulled up his long undershirt sleeve and he showed Kale a similar tattoo, except were Kale's was a dragon his was a frog, a long cord burn scar under his shoulder muscles and the tattoo.

Giving a cry of joy, Kale grabbed the teen in a bear hug which was returned just as fiercely; Kale felt tears falling on his shirt and was surprised when he felt his own.

"I thought you were dead, bro." Kale said in a strangled voice.

"How do ya think I felt, Kale?" Todd asked, pulling away slightly with a tear stained smile. "I thought I lost he last of my family, yo."

Kale couldn't do anything except smile and pull him into another brotherly hug. "Please don't do that to me again. I lost my parents and for two tears I thought you were dead; I do not want to lose my brother again."

They held each other for what seemed like forever, each glad to have found the other and bother were unwilling to let go. Kale remembered those nights when he had struggled to move on because he thought Todd was dead.

"So what they hell have you been up to, man? Come on, I what to know what I've missed for the past two years of your life, yo." Todd said as they broke away again.

"Where in the bloody name of Christ do I start, Leapfrog?" Kale asked using his nickname, sitting down in his chair, while Todd sat opposite him.

"From the beginning; where else, Drákon." Todd answered, with a smirk.

"And just when am I gonna hear you story, huh?" Kale asked leaning back in the chair.

"When you finish your story, I'll tell you mine; duh, bro." Todd said, giving Kale a gentle punch.

Kale grinned evilly and lifted his right arm, blocking Todd's arm and brought it around so it was pressed against his chest. Todd returned the grin and twisted his hand down against Kale's thumb, breaking his hold and held his hand against the wall in a knife hand block. His left hand then gently slammed against Kale's chest, making the red head catch his breath slightly.

Kale brought his free hand down on the nook Todd's elbow and held his elbow against his throat. Because this made Todd stumble in his chair, it freed Kale's hand and he held his fist against Todd's diaphragm. Bring his arms up in between Kale's, Todd pushed his arms up and lifted Kale's arms out to the side, exposing his chest for Todd's attack; Todd curled his arms around in against his ribs and then shot them out slamming into Kale's chest.

The blow knocked his chair back and nearly made Kale fall out of his seat, but Kale back flipped out of the chair onto his feet. Kale paused for a moment then brushed himself off, like it wasn't a big deal. Todd and Kale both turned when they heard a pen clatter to the floor and saw the secretary staring at them, Todd in particular, with jaw slack amazement.

"You haven't lost your edge, Todd." Kale said, as he sat down in the chair.

"And you haven't either, bro." Todd said as he relaxed in his chair. "I guess it a good thing I practice my martial arts in secret, huh?"

"Why in secret?" Kale asked putting his stuff in his bag.

"I don't want anybody to know how good a fighter I am, that way they'll just leave me alone." Todd said, redirecting his eyes down to the floor. "But it doesn't always work out that."

"Is that why you let Mr. Mathews beat you up?"

Kale looked at the secretary that had just spoken and saw how she was leaning on her desk, her eye full of disbelief. Kale guessed her to be in her mid thirties and married, by the ring on her finger. She wore simple office clothes and had red rimmed glasses.

"Yeah, that's why Mrs. Beard." Todd said, he then gave a snort and looked up. "I'm afraid to hurt him is another reason."

"You, hurt Duncan Mathews?" Mrs. Beard said in disbelief.

"What, you don't believe him?" Kale asked, his anger beginning to build. "Todd has easily taken on three to six full grown men on his own. I'd say he's making a damn good decision."

Before the woman had a chance to respond, the doors opened and a man dressed in a navy blue suit came walking in. He had black rimmed glasses and dark brown hair, his face long and slightly pointed. Kale's sense picked up a wave of disgust aimed directly at Todd and Kale was forcing himself not to either vomit or tear his throat out.

They man's gaze shifted to Kale and he gave Kale what he thought was a forced smile, which Kale nearly didn't return.

"You must be Kale Nority. Welcome to Bayville High." The Man said offering his hand. "I am Principle Kelly."

"Nice to meet ya, yo." Kale said, shaking his hand as he stood up.

Kelly's face flickered for a moment then went back to his smiling face, which Kale responded with a grin that had sent many a men running; he had deliberately used Todd's common phrase to hint at that they might be brothers, but it obviously hadn't hit home yet.

"I will give you your schedule and your homeroom location when I have finished with Mr. Tolensky." Kelly said, gesturing for Kale to step in his office.

"What did my brother now?" Kale asked as he cocked his head curiously, his brow furrowing in question and this time Kelly did catch Kale's hint.

"Your what?" Kelly asked, his eyes widening in surprise and his glasses nearly falling off his face.

"My name, yo, is Todd Nority Tolensky. I didn't use it cause I thought that Kale had been killed in a mountain slide." Todd said, standing up and instead of slouching, stood straight up.

The fact that Todd always walked around slouched over and with his knees bent, made him appear to be a lot shorter than he was. But when he was standing up straight, he easily reached Kale's shoulders, just two inches difference between them; then again Kale was only five feet and ten inches tall, putting them just under Kelly's eyes but not by much. Kelly's eyes widen furthered when he saw Todd's real height and was struggling not to gape.

"But you two look nothing alike." Mrs. Beard said.

"Todd was adopted in my family when we we're six years old and he became my blood brother through, uh, I think a combination of Japanese and Native American rituals. So we can't any closer than we are." Kale explained, slinging his arm around Todd's neck and giving him a playful noogie. "He's an alright kid, just needs a few Irish whippings every now and again."

Todd groaned and chuckled with Kale as he horsed around, making Mr. Kelly and Mrs. Beard smile. Todd then grabbed Kale's forearm, pulled it from his neck, twist Kale's arm around behind his back and gave a sharp kick to the back of Kale's knees. Kale fell to his knee and started to laugh; lifting his left leg into a kneeling position and pushed off the ground.

The move plus Todd holding him down in the lock made his cartwheel onto his feet and from there he whirled around so he was behind Todd, holding his arm up behind his back at an awkward position. Todd tried to twist out of the position by Kale had an iron clad grip; Todd stopped and looked over his shoulder, giving Kale an exasperated look.

"Show off."

Kale followed Mr. Kelly down the hall with Todd beside him, asking each other questions every now and again. Kale kept asking about how he was doing in the school while Todd asked about how Ireland was; they desperately wanted to ask more important questions but Kelly's presence made them hold those till later.

Once they got to their desired classroom and he was introduced to the class, Kale took a seat next to Todd, despite the bewildered looks of all the students and took not of the number of people in his class; twenty odd kids, thirteen boys and seven girls, three X-Men and before Kale could make not of anyone else, blur whizzed around him. Snapping his eyes to the empty seat in front of him, Kale saw it was now occupied with someone.

He was thin and Kale never thought he had seen anyone that skinny before, plus his stark whit hair could rival Storm's. He face was particularly thin but he held it with an air of cockiness and pride, like he was the best person in the world; he slouched in the seat so he could see Kale and watch how he looked him up and down unimpressed, making Kale smirk.

"So, you're the new X-Geek." The silver hair punk sneered quietly, making Kale's smirk become a half grin. "You don't look so tough."

"Don't judge a book by its cover, mate." Kale said subtly leaning back, his hands folding behind his head.

"The name's Pietro Maxicoff, the Quicksilver, Ire; don't forget it unless you get too drunk to remember." He said turning around and Kale felt a sting of anger but soon got a wicked idea.

"What was that last part? Pansey Lover?" Kale said softly, his words reaching Pietro.

Looking furiously over his shoulder Pietro watched as Kale was looking up at the board while he and Todd exchanged a silent high five.

"Quicksilver, match head" The silver haired mutant said extremely miffed.

"Oh, Quick Piss" Kale said writing down some notes that the teacher had put up while Todd tried not to roar with laughter.

Some of the other students had caught what he just said and were nudging the others to look and se what was going on, their faces completely in shock. Kurt and Kitty looked at each other in horrified anger while Rogue just gapped at the Irish newcomer and slowly began to smile at what he was doing. Kale glanced back at them and gave a small thumbs up sign, which went unnoticed to anyone, which they looked at him with confused looks.

"QuickSILVER!" Pietro said turning around to glare at the new kid, his voice rising slightly.

"Okay Silver Pussy, don't get your panties in a twist." Kale said waving his hand dismissively.

This got a lot of snickers form everyone in the class who head it, the X-Men and Todd the worst who were trying not to explode with laughter. Kale just sat their as the teacher turned around, looking pointedly at the class; he raised his hand, his face completely devoid of emotion while Todd shook his head.

"Yes Mr. Nority?" She asked kindly.

"I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me out with some thing since I'm from Ireland." Kale said, his hand on his desk while his thumbs drummed quietly.

"What is it?"

"Well, do you beat the sniveling snot out of people who make a mockery of people origin or do I have to wait for recess for that?" Kale asked his face completely serious.

"Pardon me?" She asked a little bewildered by his question.

"Maxicoff said all Irish born kids are destined to grow up to be drunken wife beaters and then starts mumbling all these things about my bro's red hair." Todd said, making the entire class stare in humorous amazement and bewilderment, as Kale nodded in agreement and Pietro gaped at them in rage.

"Mr. Maxicoff, please leave my classroom." The teacher said her face full of fury. How dare you insult him in such a manner."

"But I…" Pietro tried, but the teacher cut him off.

"Silence! Get out immediately." She nearly screeched.

After Pietro left the room in a speechless gape, the teacher apologized for his 'behavior' and went back to teaching; the class whispered their compliments to him while Kale nodded in silence. Todd gently nudged his seat and spoke in a mummer.

"You never change bro." Was all he said and Kale's grin became a full fledge smile, as he continued to take notes.

Anyway, Please review and send anythign my way; particularly, i would like it if some of you would give some hints at how to pair up Kale and Rahne, becauseI suck at writing those parts.
