Here we go people. Spyke is joining the team now. I do not own anything.
In the gymnasium in the middle of a town a basketball game was being played between two rival teams. The basketball flies through the air and hits the rim. Evan Daniels intercepts the ball and heads down the court dribbling the ball. The coach yells at Evan to not lose the ball, and Evan found himself being blocked from getting near the net. "Evan over here." Pietro yells waving his hand. Evan throws the ball to him, and Pietro catches it with a smile on his face. Pietro runs down the other team's players and does a lay-up only for it to bounce off the rim and back onto the court. The crowd starts yelling for the team to steal the ball back from the opposite team.
"Get the ball back. Don't let him shoot." Evan's dad said.
Storm looks at her brother-in-law and asks, "Is it always this exciting?"
"No, this one's a real nail biter."
It was down to the last ten seconds of the game. The enemy team passes the ball, but Pietro intercepts the ball and runs down the court dribbling the ball. "You got ten seconds. Pietro, Daniels is open, now!" The coach yells at Pietro.
Pietro passes the ball to Evan, and Evan runs down the court dribbling the ball. "You can do it Evan. Shoot. Shoot!" Storm yelled at him.
Evan runs past an enemy player and shoots the ball. One of the rival players tries to block the ball but ends up landing on Evan making him slide back on the ground. Evan slides across the floor accidentally making his spikes come out of his left arm while sliding across the court. Storm noticed the spikes and started to worry about her nephew being caught. Evan noticed the spikes coming out of his arm and covered it up hoping no one saw what had happened to him. 'Oh man, I am so busted if anyone saw this.' He thought cringing inwardly not paying attention to the buzzer going off.
Evan got picked up by his teammates for making the winning shot, and they started to cheer for him making the shot. Evan started to cheer along with them when he noticed his spikes were no longer coming out of his arm. Pietro watches his team carry Evan away and glares at them with his arms crossed. 'He thinks that he is so much better than me. I'm going to have a talk with him and make him say I'm better.' Storm also notices Pietro's reaction and starts to worry about him as he starts walking in the same direction as his team.
After the game celebration, the team started to pack their stuff up and leave the school grounds. "Good game man." One player said to Evan leaving the locker room.
"Yeah, Daniels, you rule man." Another one said patting Evan's back while walking off.
"Thanks guys. Good game." Evan says to the last two leaving the locker room.
Pietro leaned against his locker staring angrily at Evan. He gets off the lockers and walks towards Evan saying, "I should have known that you would have hogged all the glory."
Evan turns to him saying, "What are you talking man? Everyone knows that..."
"Everyone knows if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had that last shot. I knew that I should have just taken it myself." Pietro said putting his hands on his hips.
"Hey that was a great pass man, but there is no way you could have made it down the court in time for a shot." Spyke put the last of his clothes in his gym bag.
Pietro ran his hand through his hair then pounded the locker in front of Scott. "Hey, dude, I got moves you can't even imagine." He ran past Evan and put his hand on Evan's shoulder. "And I'm done holding back just to make guys like you look good." He ran his arm across Evan's chest while walking away. Evan watched Pietro leave then zipped up his bag.
"Seems like that boy has been competing with you ever since you were babies." Storm said to Evan while walking into the boys' locker room.
Evan turned his head. "Hey, Auntie O, what's up? Where's mom and dad?" He asked surprised.
"Waiting outside." She said to him. "I think the boys' locker room makes your mother nervous."
He started to tie his shoes while saying, "Right. Some game huh? It's tight that you showed." He grabbed his bag and turned his entire body to her.
"And miss my favorite nephew's game? Heh. Not a chance." She walked up to him and hugged him.
"Thanks again for coming Auntie."
Storm started to worry. "Evan, are you all right? I've been concerned about you lately." She sat down on the bench behind her. "You know, about the things we've discussed before."
"Yeah, yeah, no problem Auntie O. everything's cool." He tried to keep his cool.
"Evan, I saw what happened to you out there tonight when you fell." Ororo said giving Evan a hard stare.
"Hey, it's no big deal. I got it under control. Ah...Achoo!" Evan sneezed and had spikes go around everywhere missing Storm only by a little bit on both sides.
"Bless you." She looked at the spikes then back at Evan.
Evan rubs his nose then said, "Busted huh?"
"Big time." She said while her arms were crossed.
Danny sat at his desk looking over the information Nick Fury gave him. He looked at the picture with a hard stare. 'Jan, how can I meet you if I'm always busy?' He wondered looking out the window from his seat. He heard his phone ring and grabbed it. He read the caller I.D. and smiled at it. He pressed the answer button and put it up to his ear. "Hey Rogue, what's up?"
"Ah was wondering if yah have anything planned next week." She said trying not to sound nervous.
"Right now? No, I'm completely free for the moment." Danny looked back down at the picture before closing the folder.
"Good, Ah was wondering if yah wanted to come to a concert with meh. Your favorite band is playing at the concert." She said knowing that would get him to come.
"Yeah, I am so there!" Danny yelled in excitement.
Rogue smiled, "Good, Ah'll see yah at school tomorrow." The two hung up smiling at their phones.
Danny sighed happily and got up on his feet. He looked out the window and thought, 'I can worry about finding a way to contact Jan later. Right now I got a date coming up next week, and it will be one good time.'
Someone knocked on the door and said, "Hey Danny, we got a job to head out tomorrow and talk with Storm's nephew."
Danny looked at the door and sighed, "When do we leave Scott?"
"We're heading out tomorrow after school. The Professor doesn't want you to wonder off during the mission either."
Danny looked out the window and asked, "Where are we going anyway?"
"New York City."
Danny's eyes widen. "I see. I'll make sure to be ready for the trip." Scott nodded and walked away from Danny's room leaving a surprised Danny behind. 'Well, this might be a good time to go see her.' He added in his mind.
School was dismissing for everyone to go home. Evan went to his locker and opened it up. He grabbed his wallet and looked inside. "Aw man, not again." He said upset.
"Something wrong?" Pietro asked leaning against a locker near Evan.
Evan gasps and asks, "Where did you come from?"
"That's a question you should be asking on the basketball court." Pietro said pointing to his head.
"Hey, look, I know you're fast man, man. You really busted some great moves last night." Evan told him while Pietro started to walk away a little.
"Aha! You finally admit that I'm better than you." Pietro pointed at him smiling.
"I said you were faster, not better." He shook his head. "I still got a few tricks of my own, you know."
Pietro grabbed Evan's wallet really quick saying, "Sure, you do. Like getting ripped off for the second time this month." He pointed at the wallet. "What's up with that?"
"Yeah, and I even changed the lock combination." Evan pointed at his locker.
Pietro put his hand to his chin. "Hmm, sounds like a bona fide mystery, dude."
"Yeah, but I'm going to trap the sleaze ball."
"Sure, Daniels," he reached into his pocket, "But you're gonna need some bait." He pulled out some money and handed both the wallet and the money to Evan.
"Hey, thanks man." He grabs the wallet and the money. He puts the money inside his wallet and puts the wallet inside his locker. "I'll get it back to you on allowance day." They put their hand together. "Catch you later." Evan walked off leaving Pietro watching him.
"Not even on your best day Daniels. You will never catch me." He whispered to himself.
That night at Evan's place Danny, Scott, Jean, Ororo, and Evan's parents were waiting for Evan to come home to speak about his powers, but the parents didn't know about it yet. While Ororo was telling her sister and brother-in-law about Evan, Danny was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed. "Danny," he looked up at Jean who had a worried expression on her face, "why are you acting distant today?"
Danny looked at the window then back at Jean. "Sorry Jean, I found some personal information about my family, and I don't want to talk about it right now." He told her truthfully.
Scott put his hand on Jean's shoulder and said, "We're always here for you man, but the Professor doesn't want you to wonder off."
Danny looked at Scott and asked, "Does this have anything to do with the bathroom incident back at the mall? That was Kurt's fault."
"It wouldn't have happened if you didn't wander off on your own." Jean reminded him.
Danny shrugged, "Hey, it isn't my fault Kurt gets himself into bad situations." He looked out the window and nodded, "Well, it seems our fellow mutant has just arrived."
Evan looked at everyone and asked, "Man, you don't give up, do you, Auntie O?" He stood in front of everyone. Scott and Jean sat on the couch while Danny leaned against the wall smiling. Evan's mom sat down on a chair trying to process the information while his dad stood near her. Ororo stayed standing up near the couch.
"That's because she loves you. She's concerned." Jean said to him. "We all are." She looks at Danny. "Some who go out for a free ride should be concerned."
Danny looked at her then sighed, "Yeah, I needed fresh air. Plus I need to fly out in the open more than once a month."
"He's right about something for once." Ororo said smiling.
"It does explain why you come home with holes in your clothes." Evan's mother said changing the subject back to him.
"We always knew this was a possibility, Vi. While you did not receive the mutant gene as I did, we knew it would show up in future generations." She looked at her sister then at Evan.
"It's really not so bad Mrs. Daniels. Having special powers can be pretty cool sometimes." Scott said trying to cheer her up.
"Oh yeah? I'll tell you what, Shades. Let me see what you've got that's so cool." Evan said to him giving him a glare.
"Evan." His mother said.
"Sorry mom." He closed his eyes and tried to hold his temper.
"I'll be happy to give a demonstration." Danny said making his hand glow green.
"Danny, don't tempt me to make Danny use his powers, Evan." Storm said trying to give him a glare to put his hand away.
"No it's ok. It's just Scott's powers are really what you call...indoor friendly, and Danny needs to some self-control in the mental department." Jean said giving Danny a side glance.
"Ok, whatever. Look man, I like it right here, and I'm not going to some home for creeps." Evan waves his hand and starts to walk away. "Now if you excuse me I got school stuff to take care of." He walked up the stairs with his parents watching him go up the stairs.
"That went well." Danny said making a small green orb appear and started to throw it to each of his hands. "I am curious how we deal with situations like this all the time and succeed at all." He tossed the ball between his hands and asked, "How do we do that again?"
"Danny, you should pay attention a little more. We're not at the institute, and do you have to be a bit sarcastic with every mistake we make?" Jean asked as she grabbed the ecto ball mid toss.
"Uh, Jean, you might want to give that back." He held out his hand.
"Why should I do that?" The ball let off a little explosion and made her fly back a bit and hit the ground.
Danny and Scott grabbed her arms and pulled her back up. "That's why. If anyone besides Danny touches it, well you know what happens now." Scott explained smiling sheepishly.
"I do apologize for my son Mr. Fenton and Mr. Summers. He's obviously dealing with a lot right now." Evan's father said rubbing the back of his neck. "I'll talk with him."
He starts to walk away when Jean gasps. "Hey, he's going out the window."
Evan puts on his padding and his helmet and jumps out the window with his skateboard. He lands on his skateboard and rides it to the school. The others come out the front door and see him leave. "We really got to work on our sales pitch." Scott said.
Danny sighed, "You guys want me to go after him?" He looked at Storm who shook her head.
"You should go back to the institute Danny. We should handle whatever comes our way." She told him.
He nodded then felt Scott's hand on his shoulder. "I am wondering who you hang out with. Kitty said that you're a risk taker. I want to know if it is true." Scott told him.
"I don't know how to answer that." Danny turned invisible and flew off leaving everyone else behind. He stopped midflight and pulled a picture out of his pocket. 'This would seem the right time.' He thought before flying off in a different direction.
Janet Van Dyke stood on the roof of her apartment building looking at the town with a frown. 'Tony Stark becomes Iron man; Hank and I become Antman and Wasp.' She shrunk down and looked at her glowing hands. She fired off one of her beams and sighed, "It's too bad Danny can't see this. He always did like his superheroes."
"I still do." Danny said as he floated behind her.
Jan turned around to see a white haired teen with glowing green eyes looking a bit like her cousin. "Uh, who are you?" She asked feeling a bit confused.
Danny chuckled, "Oh, come on Jan. You seriously can't believe you forgot your own cousin?"
Jan's eyes widen in surprise. "How…What happened to you? How did you get your hair to become white and your eyes are glowing. How did all of this happen?" She asked as she flew around him in surprise.
Danny rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly. "We should probably talk where no one could possibly be listening before I tell you everything."
Wasp crossed her arms and narrowed her eyebrows. "Danny, if this is who you are then tell me why Aunt Maddie and Uncle Jack claim you to be dead." She said as she grew back to her normal size.
Danny looked away and sighed, "I'll explain everything." The white rings came around his waist and slid around his body revealing his normal black hair and blue eyes to his cousin. "May we go inside so no one will listen in on us?"
"Who would try to listen in on us?"
"Tony Stark." Danny answered with a deadpanned expression making her sigh in agreement. "I don't mind S.H.I.E.L.D. because of Fury, but not everyone needs to know my secrets."
"I get it Danny." Jan led her to his apartment and motioned for him to start explaining as they entered the apartment.
Danny closed the door and rubbed his neck. "Well, it all started at home when my parents wanted to show Jazz and I the completed Ghost Portal…"
Rogue walked through town humming a tune with a smile on her face. She walked down the sidewalk unaware of the person following her. She stopped in front of the music store and sighed when she saw the closed sign, "Why am Ah not surprised?" She turned around and looked up to see Kurt hanging there by his tail. "Why are yah following meh?"
Kurt teleported onto the ground in his human disguise and said, "I was wondering vat you were doing."
"Are yah so bored that yah had to following meh here?" She asked glaring at him.
Kurt looked away trying to play it off innocently. "Well, Danny is out of town right now, and I was wondering why he vas so happy last night and zis morning." He looked back at her with a nervous smile.
"If yah must know, I asked Danny to go with meh to a Humpty Dumpty concert." She told him then walked past him.
Kurt watched her leave and smiled, "Zat's good to hear den." He teleported a few feet in front of her and asked, "How is everyding between you guys anyway?"
"Kurt…" Rogue started with growl.
Kurt put his hands up and nodded, "I get it. I'll leave you alone." He teleported away and watched her leave from the roof of a building. "Sheesh, she's being rough, but is it okay for us to trust her? I wonder if Danny's trust is a good thing." He mutters before teleporting his way back to the Institute.
Danny finished explaining the story to his cousin who was sitting on the couch with a glass of water in her hands and a frown on her face. She sighed and looked outside. "Why doesn't this surprise me one bit?" She wondered in amusement. "Uncle Jack and Aunt Maddie did put too much time into ghosts. I'm surprised they came up with a good story saying you were being controlled and died by a ghost."
Danny, who was sitting on the other end of the couch, shook his head in amusement. "I'm just as surprised as you, but things are going to become complicated if anyone finds out I'm still alive." He chuckled. "I'm surprised they haven't found me yet."
Jan smiled, "I think it might have to do with your mutant abilities finding a way to block any way for them to get a lock on finding where you are."
"Remind me why I told you about mutants? I seem to forget the reason." Danny said raising an eyebrow at his cousin in confusion.
Jan put her water down and sighed, "After all these years, you are still not as smart as your parents." She chuckled, "Of course, you are not as stupid and obsessed in your mind either." She got up on her feet and listed the things off. "I'm your only cousin who wants to be a superhero, the only family member who did anything with you no matter how ridiculous it was, and the only one who hasn't told anyone except Fury about the situation."
"So it was personal." Danny muttered with a smile. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and asked, "Is it okay if I stay the night? I want us to catch up with everything since we haven't seen each other in what three or four years."
Jan smiled, "I thought you would never ask."
Danny got up off the couch and pressed a couple of buttons. "I better call the Institute before getting settled."
Charles hung the phone up and sighed at what he was told. "What happened?" Logan asked. "Did they get Ororo's nephew to join?"
"They got him to agree to join with us, but they're going to need me to get him out." Charles told Logan.
Logan sighed, "I'm not even going to ask."
The phone started to ring again making them look at it in surprise. Charles picked the phone up as Wolverine got up from his seat. "Hello."
"Hey Professor." Danny said making Charles smile on the other end.
"Ah Daniel, are you on your way back from the trip?"
Danny looked at his cousin and sighed, "No Professor."
Charles narrowed his eyebrows. "Danny, we told you what would happen if you wondered off again without telling us."
"Professor, I found something out about my family a couple weeks ago dealing with my parents." Danny told the Professor honestly.
Charles sighed, "I see." 'That explains the past few days wondering off on his own.' "Where are you now?"
"I never left the city if that's what you are wondering."
"Good, I'm going to be arriving to retrieve Evan from the prison cell."
Danny looked at his cousin in surprise. "What happened?"
"Another mutant was at the school and had a bit of an issue with the way Evan was retrieving the glory. The mutant framed Evan for causing trouble at the school, and Evan is stuck in a cell right now."
Danny nodded, "We'll see you there." He hung up the phone and asked, "How fast can you fly as Wasp?"
"You really want to find out?" She asked smirking back at her cousin.
Evan walked out of the police station with his parents and aunt following him. The four stop in front of the vehicles where Xavier was waiting with the other four students and Logan behind him. "Hello Evan, my name is Charles Xavier." Charles said putting his hand out for Evan to shake.
Evan looked at Charles hand and shook it. "It's nice to meet you Professor Xavier." He said back trying to calm himself down.
"You have nothing to fear Evan. You are among friends, and we will help you get better at controlling your powers and help clear your name of this situation." Charles said as the two released their hands from the hand shake. "Ororo, has Danny showed up yet?"
Ororo shook her head. "No Professor, he hasn't made his appearance known to us. I'm worried he will…"
"I made it." Danny said running up to the group out of breath. He breathed in and out a bit and leaned forward. "Sorry for showing up late, my cousin thought it would be funny to take a detour through the docks."
"Your cousin?" Scott asked raising an eyebrow.
Danny nodded, "Yep, in fact she's right over…"
Everyone heard a 'snickt' and looked at Logan who had one of his claws out. "Hey, you could actually hurt someone Wolverine!" Wasp said growing back to her normal size in front of everyone. "I know we never met, but you could have at least recognized me by my size!"
Logan retracted his claw and growled, "Wasp, what are you doing here?"
Wasp scoffed, "I thought Danny already told you."
"Wait, the Wasp is Danny's cousin?" Kitty asked making everyone's eyes widen in surprise. "Like wow, Danny's related to a superhero."
"She isn't that famous yet." Logan muttered walking away to the van.
"Like, oh my word, it is so cool to meet someone like you." Kitty said happily then was pushed to the side by Kurt.
Kurt walked up to her and smoothed his hair out a bit. "I have a boyfriend." Jan said crossing her arms before Kurt said anything. "I saw your intention with that face and your hand in your hair."
Kurt slumped down and sighed, "Oh well, I guess I can't vin zem all."
Charles moved up to Jan and nodded, "Hello Wasp, my name is Charles Xavier, and I'm guessing Daniel told you everything about us already."
Jan smiled and winked, "Yep, he told me everything about you guys but left your powers out for good reasons." Her face became serious in just a couple seconds. "I'll be honest Professor. I might not like the whole situation of having a bunch of teens living in one place where none of them are related."
"I assure you we are doing things just fine Jan."
Jan looked back at her cousin then back at Charles. "I was actually just going to ask if it is okay for Danny to stay the night with me. I don't really want to know what goes on at your Institute." She said smiling sheepishly.
'Jan really needs to word things better.' Danny thought with a groan.
Charles smiled, "I don't see a problem with that, but I expect you guys to behave. You're lucky it's the weekend Daniel."
Danny shrugged, "I guess I timed it right." He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly at Ororo's raised eyebrow. "Ok, I figured it would be a good time to catch up with my cousin who I haven't seen in three or four years." He said crossing his arms.
Ororo smiled, "Then I suggest you guys go catch up. We can handle everything else from here."
"I'm hungry." Wasp said grabbing Danny's arm and running off with him being dragged behind her.
Charles smiled at the scene. I'll expect you to behave Daniel.
Scott looked at Jean then back at Danny. 'You finally got someone in your family to talk to Danny. Don't let it go.'
After the weekend was over Danny had returned back to the Institute, and everything was back to normal. It was breakfast time, and everyone was waking up and getting ready for school. Danny placed the plates of food on the table with Jean helping him set everything down nicely. "You didn't have to help Jean." Danny said as he sat down in his seat.
Jean smiled, "I wanted to help Danny. Plus, you never told us how your weekend went with your cousin."
Danny had a glint in his eye and smirked, "Well, I would tell you, but there are some things that we would like to keep secret."
"You want me to what?" Danny asked in surprise.
"Think about Danny. You could be able to help people and be able to show them that mutants are not different from the rest of us." Jan tried to reason.
"I need time to think about it Jan. You can't just expect me to just pick up a mantle and become a hero. The Professor might disapprove of me doing this, and it might make the others want to join as well."
Jan put her hand on Danny's shoulder then hugged him. "Please, think about it for me.
Danny closed his eyes and sighed mentally. 'A hero is one thing I thought about at first, but I'm with a bunch of other people now Jan. I don't know if I can do that.'
Logan walked into the room with a smirk on his face. "Glad to see that you made breakfast Ghost. The Professor was worried if you were going to return." He said as he sat himself down for breakfast.
Danny shrugged, "Eh, I figured you guys would be worried, but Jan and I were just getting to know each other again from these past few years." Danny sat himself down and leaned back. "Plus, I'm still upset with some of the information I learned about my parents."
"Rejection is not the hardest thing to take in life, but it will pass over in the given amount of time." Logan assured the teen.
"Ah good, you came back. I was wondering when you would have come back." Charles said as he came into the dining room on his wheel chair with Scott and Kitty following him.
"We can worry about my situation some other time." Danny said as everyone was sitting themselves down. "The bright side is that we got someone to support us because of my relation."
Charles nodded, "Indeed, this might be able to help us get other heroes not to see us as a threat."
"Easier said than done Charles." Logan said as everyone started to get their food off the table.
"So like, where's the new guy?" Kitty asked changing the subject.
"He's still sleeping. The evening was a bit difficult for him." Charles explained.
Kurt teleported into the dining room on one of the seats and sniffed the breakfast. "Ah, I love da smell of bacon in the morning." He said rubbing his hands together.
"Then you'll enjoy these." Danny said removing the metal part covering the plate.
"What is that?" Kurt asked looking at the glowing bacon in surprise and fear.
"I put some of my energy into the bacon and made it glow green." Danny smirked at Kurt's reaction and put the metal down on the table. He pulled a glow stick out from under the platter and chuckled, "Gotcha."
Kurt sighed in relief when he saw the glow gone from the bacon. "Dat's a relief."
"Hm, if you ask me, he's looking to settle that score personally." Logan said. He looks at Jean. "Pass the sausages red." He put some eggs into his mouth.
Danny looked at Logan then at the Professor. "The new guy needs to settle a score? I'm in!" Danny said before leaving the dining room with his plate and silverware.
Jean sends the sausages to Logan by using her mind. Kitty made a face and said, "Eww! That stuff, like, totally clogs your arteries you know."
"I appreciate your concern." Logan made his claw come out of his hand and got three sausages with it.
"I suspect you may be right with Evan's intentions, Logan, but Danny, you need to focus more on control than helping someone get their revenge on someone. Revenge is not the way to go." Xavier said putting his hand on his chin in thought.
"Yeah, I know Chuck. I may not be able to read minds, but Ghost and I know what I'm talking about when he's been wronged. ELF!" Logan yelled when Kurt teleported himself onto the chandelier. Logan shut the platter with pancakes and sighed, "How many times to I gotta tell, ya? Ask and it'll get passed to ya."
"Sorry, I didn't want to interrupt you." Kurt teleported himself back to his seat and looked at Logan.
"That's better." Logan gave him the pancakes. "Now mind your manners."
"In any case, it might be best if Evan had other things to distract his mind. I already enrolled him at Bayville. Now Scott, could you introduce him to the basketball coach?" Charles asked Scott.
Scott shrugged, "Sure. After that last game he played in New York, coach will jump at him." Unknown to them Evan was listening to their conversation.
"Well, it seems the new guy is listening in on us." Danny said walking up to Evan.
"Ah!" Evan looked at Danny in surprise then calmed down immediately. "That isn't funny, man. Do you always sneak up on people?"
"Only when I feel like it. The name's Danny."
Evan nodded, "I remember you at my house."
Danny leaned back against the railing and chuckled, "Yeah, that went so well."
"Why are you up here anyway?"
Danny leaned against the railing. "The professor doesn't want you to go crazy for trying to prove yourself innocent, and I was just on my way to my room to grab my bag before heading to school."
"So he's making Scott show me to the basketball team. I just want to make those decisions myself."
Danny put a hand on his shoulder. "Evan, we'll help you out of this. You just have to trust us and try not to think about it until the day comes. You'll be too distracted to do anything including your training sessions."
Evan sighed then smiled. "You're right. If I'm going to get those charges dropped, I'm going to need to get better control on my powers."
Danny chuckled, "Well, you'll get better at it. You can trust me on that." He made his hand glow with green flames and put it in front of his face. "My powers keep evolving, and I'm still not sure what this energy is." The fire became a small ball in his hand moving in a rotating fashion. He made the ball disappear and shrugged, "Anyway, if you need a ride to school, I'll be happy to take you unless you would rather go with Scott."
"I'll go grab my stuff." They ran off to their rooms as Kurt came out of the dining room.
Kurt wiped his mouth and muttered, "Oh man, I hope he hasn't left yet." He teleported to his and grabbed his bag off the chair. He teleported out of his room and landed in front of Danny's truck. He wiped his forehead in relief when he didn't see Danny. "Ah good, I made it just in time."
"Man, I thought it was just going to be me and Danny." Evan said walking into the garage.
"Let's worry about stuff like that later." Danny said coming through the ceiling and into the driver's seat of his truck. "We have to make a stop to pick someone up on the way."
"Oh yeah, we're picking her up again." Kurt muttered before teleporting into the passenger's seat of the truck.
Evan jumped into the back of the truck and smiled, "I have to say that this is a pretty sweet ride."
"Logan helped Danny pick it out." Kurt told him as Danny started the truck up.
Later that week Toad, Lance, the Blob, and Rogue were all sitting in the waiting room to talk to the principal. Toad was looking at Rogue who turned her back to him. Blob entertained himself by using a paddle ball, and Lance just stood there with his arms crossed and with a glare. "I'm honored that you've come." Mystique said behind the door.
"I'm not here for your student body meeting Mystique. Behold." The guy said making an image come up of Pietro on her desk.
"Ah, so this is the speed demon I've been hearing about." She smiled at looked at the figure.
"Pietro Maximoff. He is of particular interest to me." He looked at Mystique then at the figure. "I have waited for just the right moment to approach this young man, and now is the time."
"Then we shall extend the hand of friendship to the boy."
He shook his head. "It will not be that easy. He believes he needs no one, however, there may be a way." He brought up a second image of a teen named Evan.
"Yes?" She asked mysteriously.
"Young Pietro has long had a grudge rivalry against Evan Daniels."
She smiled, "The new student Xavier enrolled here last week."
"Yes, Pietro has recently taken the advantage in that competition, and I believe that Mr. Daniels would like to...settle the score."
"Well then, I know just how to bring them together." She smiled at both figures.
"Excellent, and I will take it from there."
Back at the institute inside the danger room, the room had gotten a little remodified for Evan when he is riding his skateboard. "This is your fifth run Spyke. You want to take a break?" Scott asked the tired Evan.
Evan put his hand up and said, "No time for breaks, man. You got me here to train, so let's train." Danny shook his head then looked at Jean who shrugged at him.
"You heard the man, let's roll." Logan said smiling at Evan.
Evan jumped and landed on his skateboard going down the track. He kept on going down the track and saw cannonballs coming towards him. He ducks on the first wave and shoots his spikes at the second wave missing two of the four balls. Scott fired his energy blasts at Evan and missed the first two times, but his third shot had hit right under Evan's skateboard making Spyke fly off the track and land on his stomach. "Not too shabby porcupine." Logan stretched out his hand and smiled at Evan. Evan grabbed his hand and stood up.
"Spyke, the coach just called. He said that you got to come to the gym. You've got a game tonight." Kitty told him from the control room.
"There wasn't one on the schedule." Spyke said back removing his helmet.
Danny sighed, "It must have been put together last minute by Principal Darkholme." He flew over to Evan and put a hand on his shoulder.
"He's right. Sorry Evan, but he wants you suited up in, like, one hour 'cause you're starting against P.S. 104." Kitty told him.
Evan closed his eyes and heard Kurt teleport near him. "Dude! All right! You get to play against your armimoter."
Scott, Jean, and Danny look at each other as Evan says, "Yeah." Danny put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a thumb up.
"We got your back Evan. You can count on it." Danny assured his teammate
"I hope you're right Danny." Evan said walking off to his room to get his gym clothes
Later that night, everyone was showing up for the basketball game. The opposing team's bus pulled up to the school and opened the doors for the team to get off. Pietro came out of the bus last and heard, "Hey, Maximoff!"
"Well, well. Out of jail already, or is this miserable dump part of your punishment?" Pietro asked Evan while walking up to him.
"We got a score to settle Pietro." He was about to grab him, but Pietro ran away quickly and pushed Evan down.
"As usual too slow. Props for the attitude. Might be help for you after all, Daniels."
"What's going on here?" Scott asked putting a hand on Pietro's shoulder.
"Nothing I can't handle." Evan said getting up from the ground.
"Is this the guy who was stealing from the lockers?" Jean asked him.
"Stay out of this." Evan walked towards them trying to make them stay out of his business.
"Actually," Pietro turned around getting Scott's hand off his shoulder, "yeah, I trashed those lockers. Why, you going to do something about it?" Pietro asked narrowing his eyebrows at Scott.
"I would." Danny said walking up to Pietro.
Pietro pointed at Danny and laughed, "You got to be kidding me. You expect me to believe you could do something to me."
Danny made his hands glow green and smirked, "Actually, I believe I can."
Pietro stopped laughing when he saw the glow on Danny's hand. He smirked at the challenge. "I'm curious what it would do myself, but I think this situation is just between me and Mr. Fail."
"That's it Pietro. You're going down this time." Evan yelled and ran at him.
"Ooh, sounds like a challenge." Pietro said running out of Evan's way making him hit the ground hard. "Come on Daniels. Let's see what you got." He ran by all four of them.
"Trust me man." Evan grabbed his equipment and got on his skateboard. He went after Pietro trying to catch up if possible.
"You guys think that he can handle it himself?" Danny asked them.
"Don't count on it. Danny, you get the cops while we go after that guy." Scott said. Danny saluted and flew off after he transformed himself. "He has to be dramatic." Scott shook his head.
"Well he needs to brighten the mood up anyway." Jean said then ran off with Scott going after Pietro.
Pietro stops running and laughs. "Give it up Daniels. You're out of your league."
"Not this time Pietro. It's time I win one!" Evan said then made his spikes come out. He was about to punch Pietro but got punched in the back by Pietro. Evan flew off his skateboard and slammed into the wall.
"You call this a challenge?" Pietro asked kneeling next to Evan. "You can't even touch me no matter what I do. Check it out, Spyke boy. Say bye-bye to Bayville." Pietro ran off while Spyke was recovering from hitting the wall.
"We have to stop him." Jean said to Evan as they just saw Pietro running down the street destroying the glass and cars just by running by them.
"I've tried. He's just too fast." Evan said angrily. "I thought you said that all that training is going to help." He threw his helmet down to the ground.
"Training is just one part of it, Spyke. Teamwork's another." Scott said trying to tell him what he learned.
"YAHOO!" Pietro yelled running down the street. "See yah!" He starts running in circles around the trio.
"Jean, he can't run if his feet are off the ground." Scott told her.
"On it." She closed her eyes and used her eyes to grab Pietro.
Pietro starts laughing then felt himself getting picked up. "Hey, what's going on?" He starts spinning in circles making Jean lose her concentration.
"I can't hold him." She said.
"Hold on to this baby. It's twister time!" Pietro yelled from his twister. Everyone flew back and grabbed something that was in the ground trying to not fly off with everything else.
Danny flew in trying to avoid everything coming at him and saw the twister. "So that's how he's going to play huh? I'll show him not to mess with the Phantom." He shot an ecto blast and hit Pietro right in the chest. Pietro flew back and hit the wall. He got up only to get trapped by Spyke's spikes.
Pietro moves himself hoping to break himself free from the prison like trap but failed to even move one of the trapped limbs. "I can't get loose. I can't get loose."
"Not so quick now. Are you, Quicksilver?" Evan asked him crossing his arms.
"Yeah, what good's it do you, Daniels? You still can't prove about me getting you in trouble. Can ya?"
"Ooh, sounds like a challenge." Evan pulled out a tape recorder. "I got it all right here. Your confession to everything back at the old school."
"Good shot dude. Looks like some of that training did pay off." Scott said to Evan. They heard the cops come and ran off. Danny turned the group invisible and flew them back to the institute with Pietro struggling against the wall.
The next day the group was at the pool enjoying the victory for Evan, and Jan had decided to join in on the fun by trying to mess with her cousin. "Cannonball!" Kurt yelled and landed in the water making Kitty fall off of her raft.
"Kurt, knock it off." She yelled at him.
"Congratulations Evan. I hear that you have been cleared of all charges." Xavier said to him.
"Yeah, it feels good to have that off my record." He said getting out of the pool. "I'm glad Danny helped me out when he did. He really knows how to help a friend out. Thanks for your help professor."
"Eww! Professor! Kurt is, like, totally getting fur in the pool." Kitty yelled.
"I am not!" Kurt yelled back.
"You guys have got to get along more often." Danny said making everyone giggle at them.
"Very funny Danny." Kitty said to him.
"We're just glad to have you with us." Xavier said to Evan.
"Thanks, hey check this out." He runs to the pool and jumps screaming for joy. He accidentally made his spikes come out of his back and crashed onto Kitty's raft. He got up and rubbed the back of his neck nervously trying to get out of this situation.
"I think Danny needs to be dunked under the water." Jan said jumping into the pool landing right on Danny.
Danny sunk into the water then got back up with Jan on his shoulders. He looked up at Jan smirked, "You thought that was funny huh?"
"Wait Danny. Don't…" Danny went intangible making Jan fall into the water entirely.
"Cousins, it seems a bit hard to believe." Jean said as everyone watched the two mess around with each other.
"That may be true, but it is nice to see him truly smile for once." Scott said smiling at the scene.
Janet pinned Danny under the water then found herself pinned under the water in just a couple seconds. The two kept on wrestling and splashing water at each other trying to win their water fight. "I'll beat you this time Jan."
"You haven't defeated me when we were younger. You will not defeat me now." Jan yelled back before the two clashed by shooting water at each other.
Kurt sighed happily. "Life is good."
