Ok, this is the first chapter that deals outside the series, and yes, I am including Code Lyoko with a twist. I'm not telling you the twist though, but I hope you guys enjoy this. It seems Danny and Jan being cousins doesn't seem to surprise anyone according to what I believe since I'm not really getting any reviews, which is sad. Anyway, I do not own anything in this story. Please enjoy.
Danny and Janet are walking through Central Park, eating ice cream, and chatting to each other about their hilarious moments. "I'm serious. My old best friends made actual protests trying to prove that meat or vegetables were better, and they put it all up in one night!" Danny said as the two laughed at the situation.
"Oh man, I never would have thought Tucker and Sam would have done something so stupid." Jan said trying not to laugh so hard.
"It's nice to see you two are getting along nicely." Nick Fury said making the two stop their conversation and look at him.
"What's up Fury?" Danny asked casually taking a lick of his ice cream. "Thanks for giving me the info about my family. I never would have thought of talking to Jan since it has been a few years."
Fury nodded at Danny. "You're welcome, but you should remember what I told you back in the forest before we split up."
Danny's face became serious. "Who's in trouble?" Danny asked curiously.
"I think this will be better in a more secure private area." Fury told them making them nod in agreement.
"Her name is Aelita Schaeffer." Fury told the two in the debriefing room as a picture of a pink haired girl showed up on the screen. "Her father is known for being a fantastic scientist of his day. He had created a virtual world and a powerful A.I. called X.A.N.A. He also created scanners where someone could be scanned and brought into the virtual world called Lyoko."
"Whoa." The two said as pictures of the virtual world showed up on the screen.
"Ice, a dessert, a forest, some mountains, how did he do all of that?" Danny asked in surprise.
"We're still trying to figure that part out." Fury answered honestly before clearing his throat. "It wasn't long until people found out about it. A group agency known as Hydra has been keeping tabs on a man known as Franz Hopper. Of course they still don't know his real name is Waldo Schaeffer."
"What happened to him?" Jan asked.
"He scanned him and his daughter into the virtual world, but his wife was captured and taken somewhere out of our knowledge." Fury closed his eye and sighed, "We still have no lead to where that woman is, but we'll worry about her later. After Waldo had scanned himself and his daughter into Lyoko, he had shut down the supercomputer running it and had never been seen again."
Danny crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you telling us all of this?" Danny asked curiously. "Did something happen recently with this virtual world or something?"
Fury nodded, "Yes, a year ago the supercomputer was found by a young teen boy named Jeremy Belpois. He found the supercomputer and turned it back on. Waldo hasn't shown his face, but his daughter Aelita has. We still don't have all the facts since Waldo locked up most of the records pretty tight through hidden messages in some old hard drives that he used. Those files were unfortunately destroyed."
"Well, at least Hydra won't be able to get their hands on very secretive information." Jan pointed out.
Fury continued, "During the past year, situations that could be explained happened over and over again all leading to a symbol of what we believe to be the A.I." The picture changed to a symbol of a round eye with one line coming out of the center on the top of it and three coming out of the bottom of it all next to each other.
"Creepy." Jan muttered shivering a bit at the symbol.
"This symbol was seen most of the time at each of these situations, but most of the camera footage was erased."
"How is that possible? S.H.I.E.L.D. is one of the most secure places for something like that no to happen." Jan pointed out making Fury sigh in agreement.
"We don't know. All we know is that it has something to do with that machine and the virtual world connected to it." Fury explained with a small sigh.
"I'm still confused as to why we're here." Danny said scratching his cheek.
"Aelita Schaeffer has recently started to discover some unique abilities about herself." Fury stated simply raising an eyebrow at Danny making him widen his eyes in surprise. "Yes, Aelita is a mutant."
"Oh man, that explains why you're telling us everything, but I'm still confused." Danny said honestly.
"Hydra wants her." Jan summed up making Fury nod in agreement.
"Yes, if Hydra learns of her return they will try to capture her and make her tell them everything they need to know about what her father had created." Fury said narrowing his eyebrows. "Her mutant power will help supply them with everything."
"What is her mutant power?" Danny asked cautiously.
"She can create a holographic computer screen of any electronic machine and use it like any normal computer. This will allow her to have any type of control if she wills herself to do it."
Aelita looked at the holographic screen in front of her in surprise. "What's going on?" She muttered taking a few steps back until her back hit the wall of her room. "I don't understand what's going on. This should only exist on Lyoko."
"You want us to stop them and make sure she is safe long enough for Hydra to leave her alone." Danny summed up or thought he summed up.
Fury shook his head. "No, I need you to find her and convince her to join your team Danny. She needs to join the X-men."
"Oh that makes sense." Danny muttered then widened his eyes in surprise. "Wait a minute. You expect me to find Aelita and have her join the X-men! Are you nuts? I can't just go out and recruit people on my own without having the Professor's 'ok' about this."
"This isn't up for debate Danny. You need her to join the team, or everything she knows will fall into the wrong hands! Even I can see that. Are you willing to let something like that happen?" Jan asked giving her cousin a worried look.
Danny looked away from Jan and sighed, "Jan, you know I've never done anything heroic like you or anyone on this machine."
"You're on the Helicarrier, and I know this is sudden Danny, but millions are at risk here especially Aelita and her friends." Fury told him.
"What about the other people who know about the supercomputer? Wouldn't they be in just as much danger as her?" Danny asked worryingly.
Fury looked down and sighed, "Yes, but Shield will handle everything else. You worry about Aelita and getting her to join your team."
Danny balled his hands up into fists and asked, "If I do this, what exactly do we gain?"
"My guess is you will probably have a higher security and a tighter security at the Institute. It's believed her powers can make things happen that normally couldn't happen like everything in the past year." Fury explained.
Danny crossed his arms and frowned. "I'll do it, and all I want is for the mutants to have some form of security if our kind's cover is ever blown out to the public."
Aelita was typing quickly on the keyboard that was connected with the Supercomputer in the abandoned warehouse with her eyebrows narrowed. "What's going on?" She wondered as she watched some factors appear on the screen. She watched as nothing came up making her sigh in disappointment.
Aelita continued typing as Jeremy Belpois walked into the room with a worried look on his face. He walked up to the Supercomputer and asked, "Aelita, are you alright?"
Aelita glanced at Jeremy then closed her eyes with a sigh. "I'm sorry Jeremy." She said opening her eyes with worry being shown in her eyes. "Strange things have been going on with me Jeremy, and I don't know why. Jeremy, what is going on with me?" She asked as she stared straight in his eyes.
Jeremy blinked and scratched his head in confusion. "Aelita, what exactly is going on to make you act like this?" He asked curiously.
Aelita raised her left hand from the keyboard and tapped forward making a holographic screen appear there shaped exactly like the same what she saw in the towers back in Lyoko. Jeremy gasped in surprise making Aelita nod. "That's the same reaction I had."
"When…When did this start happening?" He asked as he tried to touch the screen only for his hand to go through it.
"I guess it all started a couple weeks ago, but I never fully understood everything until this happened." She explained as she touched a couple buttons on the screen making all the Lyoko avatars appear. "I thought of finding some information on my laptop and hoped it would be easy to find it, but I couldn't find any information about the strange feeling I was getting in my body."
Jeremy put his hand on his chin and said, "Hm, I'm sure you can still find something. Maybe not about the symptom, but this power could be useful."
"How can it be useful Jeremy? I'm starting to feel a bit scared having this power." Aelita rubbed her arm in fear. "I don't want my power to go out of control one day and get people in trouble." She looked down in despair. "What if I'm the only one who has power like this?"
Jeremy put his hand on Aelita's shoulder making her look him straight in the eye. "We will get to the bottom of this Aelita, and I believe there might be some people who might be able to help you."
Aelita smiled and hugged Jeremy. "Thank you Jeremy."
Danny stood outside the plane looking out at the city with a confused look on his face. "Okay, is it just me, or were we sent to Paris?" He asked raising an eyebrow looking around.
"We're going to Sceaux which happens to be a suburb of Paris." Jan said walking up to her cousin with a map in her hand.
Danny looked at his cousin and asked, "How do you know that?"
"Fury told me." Jan said smiling sheepishly.
Danny face-palmed and sighed at the obvious answer his cousin made. "We better get going before Hydra even shows up."
"Does Xavier know you're even gone?" Jan asked suddenly making Danny tense. Jan looked out at the city and sighed, "I hope Fury got that covered."
"I can't find any reason to argue with that." Danny muttered before waving it off. "Well, we better go find out where this Kadic Academy is and find out where she would be."
Jan opened the map and sighed, "I wish I knew how to speak French."
"We probably should have learned some foreign languages when we were younger." Danny looked around the town and pulled out his phone. "I'm going to hate myself for doing this."
Jan folded the map back up and crossed her arms. "It's for the better Danny."
"Life just loves to mess my life up though. I wish Fury gave us a way to get there from here." He stopped himself from opening the phone then walked back to the plane. "Did we check to see if Fury gave us any instructions to get there?"
Jan face-palmed and followed her cousin towards the jet. "Now that I think about, no we didn't check." She pouted as Danny flew through the plane then came out with a map giving them simple directions to their location. "Now I just feel plain stupid."
"Ditto."
"Has anyone seen Danny recently?" Kurt asked as he walked into the living room only to find Charles Xavier talking with Nick Fury. "Oh, I see you're in a meeting. I'll be going now." He walked out of the room running his hand through his hair in relief. 'Glad I turned on my holographic projection of being human.' Kurt thought.
Nick Fury sighed and looked out the window. "I only did it for your kind's purpose." Fury told Charles.
Charles intertwined his fingers and closed his eyes with a sigh. "That might have been your intention, but you sent one of my students out on a dangerous mission even I wouldn't make them do."
Fury looked at Charles with his only eye and asked, "Would you let Hydra get their hands on a new mutant who possibly has so much information that could destroy the world?"
Charles sighed in response. "I don't like this Fury, but why did it have to be Daniel? He's one of the few students that is reckless in his fights."
Fury nodded, "Danny is powerful and is growing even more powerful as we speak." Charles nodded in agreement and motioned for Fury to continue. "If you are going to get the public to trust your kind a lot more, they're going to need a good mutant to be an example."
"And Daniel is one of the best candidates that can get people to trust us." Charles finished knowing where it was going.
"If you ask me, I say the kid has it in him to be a hero." Logan said walking into the living room with a smile on his face as the two men looked at him. "Out of everyone here Ghost is the only one I can trust not to screw it up completely."
Nick nodded at Wolverine's reason. "He might still be young, but this should jump start his career. Plus, Tony Stark just found out they stole some of his technology so he's a bit mad with them right now." Fury told them.
"Making this the perfect time for Danny to recruit the girl and get her out of there before anything bad could happen to her." Charles concluded shaking his head at the idea.
"That's a big move Fury, and that is one big risk you are making." Logan said growling at the idea.
"He isn't alone in this though. Wasp is with him and will make sure everything goes right." Fury assured them.
"Let's hope she doesn't get distracted."
Aelita stared at the holographic screen in front of her with one thought on her mind. 'Dad, what's going on with me? Why did you sacrifice yourself to keep us safe?' She asked mentally. 'I need help, and I feel…' She trailed off on her thoughts when she heard someone knock on her door. "Come in." She said making the screen disappear.
Yumi opened the door and asked, "Aelita, where have you been? We've been getting worried that you forgot our usual meeting in front of the school."
Aelita smiled and grabbed her bag. "Sorry Yumi, I've been busy thinking about other things right now."
"Oh, what are you thinking about?"
Aelita decided to wave it off. "Don't worry about it right now. I'm still trying to figure it out right now. I'll be sure to tell you guys when I figure it out."
Yumi nodded, "Ok, we better get going and meet up with the guys."
Aelita nodded, "Let's get going then." The two left Aelita's room and went to go meet up with the guys.
Odd was sitting on the bench looking up at the sky in boredom. He groaned and looked at Ulrich was leaning against a pillar with his eyes closed. "How are you acting so calm? Aelita is usually never this late." Odd said making Ulrich and Jeremy look at him with raised eyebrows.
"Yeah, but you're always just as late." Ulrich countered with a smirk.
Odd shrugged, "Eh, I usually have a good reason being late."
"Your video games do not count as a good reason to be late." Jeremy countered pushing his glasses closer to his face.
"Why is everyone against me when I complain about someone being late? I'm not always late to the meetings." Odd tried to counter and got the two guys to stare at him with raised eyebrows. "Ok, I know I get use to my games and music a lot, but it doesn't mean double team our team player."
"Don't push your luck Odd. You don't want…" Jeremy stopped when they saw some vehicles stop near the front of the gate. He noticed a logo on the side of the vehicle and got up off the bench. "No, they shouldn't be here."
"What are you talking about?" Ulrich asked giving Jeremy a curious glance.
"I don't have much time to explain, but we need to find Aelita and hide her now!" Jeremy ran off towards Aelita's room with Odd and Ulrich following him not knowing the full story.
"Jeremy, who are those guys?" Odd asked as they ran.
"They're an evil agency known as Hydra. I was able to decode a small amount of one of the old hard drives before X.A.N.A. destroyed them, and it mentioned something about Hydra wanting Franz Hopper's work." He told them as they made it to the dorm building. Jeremy opened the door just in time to see Aelita and Yumi standing there with confused looks on their faces. "Aelita, we need to hide."
"What's going on Jeremy?" Yumi asked crossing her arms.
Jeremy, Odd, and Ulrich entered the dorm building closing the door behind them. "We don't have much time. I found out another organization was after Franz Hopper's work of Lyoko and other stuff he created, but I never told you guys who they were because they never made themselves known."
"Who are they Jeremy?" Aelita asked narrowing her eyebrows at her boyfriend.
"They call themselves Hydra." Yumi and Aelita gasped in surprise. "They were after Aelita's dad and his work, and he knew they were after him. He just hid himself and his work before they could find out where Lyoko and the supercomputer were located."
"Why are they here?" Odd asked curiously. "Aelita doesn't know anything about what her dad did, and they shouldn't know that he was her dad." He stated crossing his arms over his chest.
Jeremy looked at Aelita then back at Odd. "It's a bit more complicated than that, but we need to get to the factory before they could find us."
"Let's go!" Ulrich said leading the group to the gym to the sewer.
Tony Stark stared at the information in front of him with a glare as he flew through the air in his Iron Man suit. "J.A.R.V.I.S. what's the closest position where Hydra is using my tech?" He asked anger seeping from his voice.
The closest place would be up near London, England sir, but it seems they are up to something with a school in Paris, France. Jarvis explained to his owner.
Tony raised an eyebrow. "Why would Hydra be in Paris near a school?"
It might have to do with the reappearance of Waldo Schaeffer's daughter, sir.
Tony's eyes widen at the info. "His daughter is back? What about Waldo, has he returned from hiding?"
No one has seen him since his disappearance, and his daughter hasn't aged either after her disappearance ten years ago.
"Now that is weird." Tony picked the speed up by putting more power into the thrusters. "How could it be possible that a girl hasn't aged in over ten years?"
It might have to do with the research her father was doing on the virtual reality.
"Do you think he might have left something behind for us to use?"
Unknown sir.
"Well, it's about to become known really soon." Tony pushed the speed up on the thrusters and went straight for the school.
The Grim Reaper watched as the Hydra agents ran towards the school with a frown on his face. "Find those three boys who ran away earlier. I have a feeling they know something about Aelita Schaeffer and her father's work." He told eight of the hydra agents.
"Yes sir." The eight ran off after the three boys that ran to the dorm building.
The Grim Reaper watched as people were filing out of the building with their hands and smirked, "Over ten years Waldo Schaeffer has been hiding under the radar including his daughter. Now, she's back and will tell us where her father's machine is being hidden."
Jean Delmas watched as hi students and faculty staff were being escorted out of the school to the front of the building onto their knees in fear. He moved away from the window in his office and grabbed his phone when the door to his office was slammed open by a couple Hydra agents. "Why are you doing this?"
"That's for us to know." One of the Hydra agents said as they pointed their guns at him. "Now get outside!" Mr. Delmas moved out of the office in fear leaving his phone on his desk without knowing it.
Jim, the gym teacher, watched from inside the gymnasium with a glare. "No one threatens my school and gets away with it." He said rotating his shoulders back getting ready to go out there and give them a piece of his mind. He heard the door open and turned his head, "You think you can…" He stopped when he saw Yumi, Jeremy, Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita run into the gymnasium. "Oh, how did you guys escape getting caught?"
"We got no time to explain Jim, and if you don't want to get caught either, you should follow us to somewhere safe for right now." Ulrich said as they ran to the room where the entrance to the sewers was at.
Jim looked out the window then back at the kids going through the door. "I might as well keep an eye on them for their own safety." He muttered before running after them.
William stood in a room by himself staring out the window of the library. He jumped out the open window and looked around to see it was clear. He ran straight out to the park and stopped behind a tree when a group of Hydra agents went by his spot with some captured kids. He watched them walk by before taking off to the manhole he knew was nearby. He looked around quickly before removing the manhole and going down in to the sewers moving the manhole back over before he could be caught. He landed on his feet and looked up with a sigh. "That was too close." He muttered before running off to the factory.
The Grim Reaper watched as his men were bringing more and more people to the area to be his prisoners to get Aelita to come to him. Unfortunately, he wasn't seeing the three boys nor the girl coming with any of his agents. What he saw was beginning to make him a bit angry that the girl might have slipped by and got out of the school grounds before they could completely secure the school. 'How did she escape? She wouldn't be too stupid to go to the sewers. No one is that daring unless they're desperate.' His thoughts stopped when he saw the principle coming out of the main building.
Principle Delmas was pushed onto his knees hearing his daughter scream in fear. He looked at his daughter then felt a blade under his neck. He looked up in fear and asked, "W-What do you want?"
Grim Reaper smirked at the Principle. "I'll make this simple. Where is Aelita Schaeffer?"
Delmas gulped and said, "T-The only Aelita we have here is Aelita Stones."
Grim 'hmmd' and nodded, "I see. She changed her last name to get herself out of being found out for being his daughter. She's clever but not clever enough." He turned to some of his agents and nodded, "Get one of the vehicles ready and head straight to the factory. We got a girl to capture, and she will not escape our grasp this time."
"Yes sir!"
"The rest of you keep an eye on the school until I give you the 'ok' for us to go." Grim said before walking off to the vehicle some of the men were preparing.
The five Lyoko Warriors and Jim ran through the sewers and stop at the ladder to the manhole near the factory. Jim decided not to question them and followed them out of the sewers towards the factory. William climbed after them and moved the manhole back over the spot. He ran after them and got in the elevator before Jeremy pressed the button. "Hey, you made it!" Odd said happily as the elevator closed in front of them.
"I barely made it out. The school is crawling with those weird agents." William explained. "They practically got everyone captured at the school now."
"What are we supposed to do here anyway?" Jim asked raising an eyebrow at the Lyoko Warriors. "I don't this place having any way for us to save the school."
"I still don't have much time to explain." Jeremy said as the elevator doors opened to the room with the supercomputer.
"Whoa." Jim walked in the room and looked at everything in surprise while the others except Aelita walked up to the Supercomputer.
Aelita brought the holographic screen in front of her and made the avatars appear in front of her. 'Jeremy…'
"Aelita's father built the supercomputer and created the virtual world known as Lyoko." Jeremy started to explain. "I was able to decode part of a hard drive before X.A.N.A. destroyed them. I found out that there was a second agency known as Hydra which is known for being evil in many ways that I'm still trying to understand."
"So he's after Aelita." William concluded making everyone turn in her direction where she was standing with the holographic screen in front of her.
"What in the…" Odd started but stopped when Aelita put her hand up.
"The past couple weeks I started to feel a tingling sensation in me, and I didn't know whether it was good or bad." Aelita explained tapping the screen bringing up their five avatars in a bigger size than normal. "Hydra must have found out about my powers or have discovered my position, and they're after me to get everything they wanted to take from my dad."
"I'm starting to understand, but what about your powers?" Yumi asked curiously.
Aelita looked at the screen and sighed, "I don't know much about them. I don't even know if it is possible to make us become our avatars to fight Hydra."
"Even if we do that, we'll be making an even bigger risk of them catching you." Jeremy said shaking his head. "We can't do it Aelita." He started to type rapidly on the keyboard hoping for a way to escape.
Aelita looked at the screen in front of her and tapped her avatar. She tapped it a couple more times and sighed, "I'm sorry Jeremy, but I can't let anyone get hurt because of me." She felt the sensation of her suit go over her body completely making everyone watch in shock as her clothes changed to her Lyoko uniform. She walked back into the elevator and pressed the button.
"Aelita, no!" The team yells running after her.
"Goodbye, you guys." She whispers as the door close in front of her.
"Aelita!" Jeremy slammed his hands on the door as the tears rolled down his face. "Aelita! You can't do this to me! We need you to stay away from them! I need you!" He yelled in desperation.
"We can still stop her." William said pointing at the ladder behind him.
"Let's go you guys!" Odd yelled running to the ladder and climbing up it first.
Jeremy just stood there crying as Jim watched the boy sadly. 'Something like…whatever this is…is starting to become horrible in so many ways beyond even my own capabilities.'
'Why Aelita?' Jeremy thought as the tears rolled down his face.
Aelita walked out onto the bridge and stood there as the truck pulled up on the other side of the bridge. She watched as the Grim Reaper came out of the vehicle with a smirk on his face. "So you were here after all. Are you going to come willingly or not?" He asked raising his scythe up for her to see perfectly.
Aelita gulped and made a holographic screen appear in front of her. "Sorry, but I'm not letting you near my father's work." She pressed a button and said, "Master Code: Delete."
Deleting everything. A voice said making the holographic screen disappear in front of her.
"Smart girl, but you could just reprogram everything with that mind of yours since your knowledge can't be destroyed." Grim Reaper reminded her making her glare at him.
"I know, which is why I'm going to make sure one of us dies to protect my father's research." Aelita said making two energy fields appear in her hands. 'My avatar will be destroyed soon, but I can't let this man near the factory.'
Suddenly Iron Man landed on the truck behind Grim Reaper making him turn around to face Iron Man. "Well, that's fortunate." Tony muttered jumping off the truck to glare at Grim Reaper. "Well, what would a guy like you Grim Reaper be doing here in France? I thought you had more important business in New York or in a cell."
"Your witty humor doesn't amuse me Stark. We're still after you tech, but we have other priorities to take care of."
"Well, sorry to disappoint you, but you will not be getting any of the tech being used here." Iron man raised his hand at Grim Reaper who smirked.
"You might want to rethink your plan before attacking me. An entire school is under captive with Hydra agents, and everyone will be killed if you attack me."
"Yeah, if I didn't have some back up to take down your little team." Iron Man countered making Grim Reaper frown. "I ran into Wasp and her cousin who also happened to have powers. They seemed good enough to take down those Hydra goons of yours. So I let them help me take them down before we came here to take you down."
"What?!"
Grim Reaper turned around to see a smirking Danny with his fist brought back and glowing green. "How's it going?" Danny asked rhetorically before punching Grim Reaper in the face. "You probably should have thought of a better attack."
The Grim Reaper slid back a bit before growling at Danny. He ran at Danny and swung his scythe only for Danny to duck and shoot an energy blast straight at the man's chest. The Grim Reaper flew back and hit the railing hard. "I see. It seems I've been outsmarted today." He pressed a button making an explosion go off nearby the school. "Hail Hydra."
Danny and Iron Man looked at the explosion then back at the Grim Reaper only to find him gone. "You go ahead and check the explosion and make sure everyone made it inside the building." Danny said. "I'll go see if she's okay."
"Sure thing kid." Tony said before taking off towards the school.
Jan stared at the vehicles when she started to hear a ticking noise around the entire school. "Everyone, hurry!" She yelled as everyone was getting inside. Everyone, who were still outside, started to run into the school building as debris started to fly straight at the spot where they were being captive. "Darn it, why did they have to have a backup plan if they failed to get Aelita?" Jan muttered blasting as much debris as she could with her small body before any of it could get near the windows to break them and hurt the people inside.
Tony arrived on the scene a few second later to find the area clear of people but covered in debris and a flying tired Wasp. "Wow, was anyone hurt?" He asked Wasp.
She shook her head. "No, but I am tired from shooting debris from hitting the windows." She said crossing her arms. She grew back to her normal size and asked, "Is it a fashion with you to show up a little later when nothing is happening?"
Tony rubbed the back of his armored neck and shrugged, "I got here as soon as I could."
"You're lucky everyone got inside before the debris could do any damage to them." She sighed and asked, "What about Danny?"
"He's talking with the girl on the bridge over near the abandoned factory." Tony pointed behind him in the direction of the factory.
"Things are going to become very complicated." Wasp muttered which made Tony sigh in agreement.
Danny looked at Aelita only to find her staring at him with her hands raised with her energy fields in them. She deactivated her energy fields and looked down at her suit. "I guess I owe you a 'thanks' for stopping me from fighting him, but why did you help me? We have nothing in common."
Danny walked up to her with a smile. "That's where you are wrong. We have more in common than you think. There's a breed of humans born with a mutant gene called the X-gene. This gene evolves inside of us and gives us our powers." He scratched the back of his neck and continued, "Professor Xavier decided to start an Institute where mutants can go and learn everything they can about controlling their powers."
"Who's Professor Xavier?" Aelita asked feeling curious with the story.
"He's a telepath."
"Wow, really?"
Danny nodded, "Yep, my powers deal with the supernatural, and there are more of us down at the Institute in America. We would like you to join us if that's okay with you. You did just get your powers, and the school should help you learn how to control them and much more if possible." He removed his hand from the back of his neck and asked, "Would you like to join?"
"Aelita!"
The two turn their attention to the four Lyoko warriors running up to them. The group stops when they see Danny. "Aelita, you need to get away from him! He might be the enemy." Yumi tried to reason.
"Then why do I feel safe?" She asked herself which everyone heard.
Danny blinked a couple times and shrugged, "I have no idea how to answer that."
Odd walked up to the two keeping his eyes on Danny the whole time. He crossed his arms and walked around Danny observing what he was seeing. "Who are you? You're not wearing those weird costumes those other guys were wearing." He asked curiously.
Danny made his hand glow and created a green ball in his hand. "I'm a mutant like your friend is." He said simply making Odd stop and stare at the green ball.
"No fair, why does he have powers like Aelita? Why can't I have cool super powers?" Odd complained, looking down and balling his hands up in a fake anger. "It just isn't fair."
"Not everything is fair Odd." Aelita said giggling a bit.
"Aelita," Yumi started catching the pink haired girl's attention, "you might want to get back in the factory and explain everything to Jeremy. He's crying his eyes out downstairs."
"Jeremy!" Aelita yelled before running off to her boyfriend.
Ulrich stared at Danny for a full minute then walked up to him with his hand out. "Thanks for stopping her from fighting them." He said.
"No problem." Danny said shaking hands with Ulrich.
Danny, Wasp, and Tony were all standing outside the jet staring as Aelita was hugging her friends goodbye. "I always these moments." Danny muttered sadly. "It makes me sad that we're separating people from their friends and family."
"It never is easy to see it happen kid." Tony said turning his attention to Danny. "I do have to hand it to you kid. You saved a lot of lives today, and no one had to give up their lives to save anyone else. You might make a good hero later on." Tony had the mask of his armor come down. "I'll see you around kid." He took off to the sky and flew off to his next destination where he knew Hydra has gone with his technology.
"Well, you got yourself a compliment from Tony Stark. That's pretty impressive." Wasp complimented making Danny smack her arm lightly.
"I might have acted like a hero today Jan, but I'm still thinking about the whole idea in the first place." Danny told her with a serious look. "We will talk about it later though."
Aelita walked up to them and nodded, "I'm ready to go."
"Let's get going then." Wasp said walking into the jet and getting it ready for them to leave.
Danny and Ulrich stared at each other and nodded in agreement knowing what the other was thinking. Danny looked at Jeremy who moved his glasses up to his face. "You better keep a good eye on her." He said seriously.
"You don't have to worry about that at all." Danny told Aelita's boyfriend. "I hope your relationship will be able to stay strong."
Jeremy chuckled, "I hope so too."
Aelita hugged her boyfriend goodbye one last time whispering, "Goodbye Jeremy."
"Goodbye Aelita." Jeremy said as they separated.
Danny and Aelita bored the jet and sat themselves down as Jan started the jet up. The Lyoko Warriors watched as the jet hovered up before taking off into the sky leaving the town and the Lyoko Warriors alone. "Well, let's hope he keeps his promise." Ulrich said before walking away leaving the others watching what was left of a jet that had just left.
"I'm going to miss her." Odd muttered before turning around and following Ulrich.
"She did change our lives." Yumi muttered before leaving as well.
William walked up to Jeremy and put his hand on Jeremy's shoulder. "How long do you think your relationship will last?" He asked curiously.
Jeremy pushed his glasses up to his face and sighed, "I hope forever, but even I know that this relationship will not last forever."
William shrugged and smiled, "Well, all you can do is hope it will survive before someone else comes along to steal your heart."
"Very funny Dunbar." Jeremy laughed slightly at the joke and left with William behind him.
Grim Reaper walked up to the abandoned factory with a smirk. "Ah, we might not have gotten the girl, but she did leave us her father's tech." He said as Hydra agents with tools in their hands stood behind him. "Get all the tech left behind and make sure none of it is destroyed."
"Yes sir!"
The men started to run at the building but stopped when they heard an explosion. Suddenly the building started to fall to the ground making Grim Reaper growl in anger. "Stark, you are an arrogant fool." He muttered angrily.
"I might be a fool Grim Reaper, but I stopped your Hydra team from getting the tech. I hope you enjoy cleaning up a mess." Tony said from a message he left behind under the bridge.
Tony stood in his building with a smirk on his face. Are you sure that was a good idea sir?
"Jarvis, the girl deleted all the information left on the tech. It was practically useless anyway." Tony explained waving the situation off.
That may be true sir, but did you have to take the scanners?
Tony looked at the three scanners behind him and chuckled, "I might not be able to fully understand how it all work Jarvis, but I'm certain the girl will cooperate since she probably wants her virtual world back."
Do you want me to send a message to her?
"No, she needs to get situated first. Plus, I want to figure out how these things worked before I go to her." Tony said removing the plating that covered the wires on the outside. "Let's see what Waldo used to make these things work."
Well, there you have it everyone. Tony Stark has gotten his hands on the scanners and plans on improving them for future use. Do I know what for yet? I have no clue right now. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. I also decided to make the pairing Danny/Rogue/Aelita now since I actually like Aelita with Danny. The pairing is final now as well, but Aelita will be with Jeremy for some time so don't expect them broken up for a couple seasons.
If you guys want a fight scene in this chapter, I could possibly write the scene on how Iron Man, Wasp, and Phantom fought the Hydra agents before going after Grim Reaper. There were so many characters I could have chosen from the comics to be the one to try and take Aelita from her friends, but most of them lived in other parts of the world making them unable to fit into the whole story line. I just got stuck with him, but it wasn't a total loss.
Anyway, if you wanted the fight scene, I'll put it right here for you guys to continue to read since I couldn't fit it into the story. Yes, the story wrote itself. I had the fight scene go at least six different ways in my mind and that was including the Lyoko Warriors as well.
Enjoy the fight scene even if it is small.
Iron Man landed in the middle of the hostage situation and looked around. "Well, this might be a bit of a bigger problem than I thought." He muttered as the Hydra agents pointed their guns at him.
"Freeze Iron Man."
"I rather not." Tony counter before blasting two of the agents with his repulsor rays. He pointed one of his repulsors at a Hydra agent that held his gun at one of the student's head and frowned, "I suggest you let the kid go."
"Now why would I do a thing like that?" The agent asked keeping his gun pointed at the kid.
Danny made himself visible and punched the man in the head making the man fly back and hit the ground with his back. "I believe it's because he came with some back up this time." Danny said with a smirk on his face.
"Stop them!" The Hydra agents start firing at Danny and keep on firing when a force field went up around him and the few students near him.
"You guys make things too easy." Wasp said blasting her wasp stingers at the Hydra agents from above.
Hydra agents started falling unconscious making Iron Man grunt before blasting more agents with his repulsors. Danny removed his force field and smashed his fist into one of the Hydra agent's face. He swung his leg around and smashed his foot into another Hydra's head. He put a force field to his left to block the Hydra agents shooting at him. "I got more to my left." He told them.
"I got it!" Wasp said flying down shooting her stingers at the Hydra agents.
Iron Man shot one of his repulsors at a truck near the entrance making the truck blow up with the debris flying around everywhere. "Ok, don't blow the vehicles up." Tony muttered. "Jarvis, what type of bombs connected to those vehicles?"
There seems to be multiple bombs in each vehicle, and they're the special made with your tech.
"Now that's just plain cruel." Tony gritted his teeth in anger. "Where would the bombs be for me to disconnect them."
These bombs will blow up if you try to disconnect them sir. I advise you find the master control to turn them off.
"Just great."
Danny punched the last Hydra agent down to the ground and looked at Iron Man. "What's up?" HE asked.
"The vehicles are physically connected with bombs meant to go off if we try to disconnect them. I need to find the switch to turn them off, and I know their leader has it."
"Then he'll be heading to the factory."
Tony looked at Danny. "Great, we better hurry and stop him before something worse even happens."
Wasp grew to her normal size and pointed at the building. "I'll stay here and make sure everyone get inside safely before those things blow." She told them.
"Good luck Jan." Danny said before the two took off to the sky after the Grim Reaper.
I hope everyone enjoyed it. R&R
