12:25 P.M.
POV : Third
Three months have passed since the incident with the so-called Giant Ape, the beast was moved to a facility far from any heavily inhabited location, and now three months after that incident Calvin was again in contact with Nick Fury in a jet.
"You know, if I knew we were going to meet so many times I would ask for a tip." Calvin said amused by the situation, Nick just blew smoke from his cigar.
"This time it's a request from an old partner, he seems preoccupied with something, and I thought since I had his contact it would be convenient for the two of you to meet." He explained while smoking.
"Well, who are we talking about?" Calvin asked as he puffed lightly, putting out Nick's cigar, annoying him.
"Look to the side, I think you'll guess cute." He said pulling out another cigar.
Calvin did as he was asked, and soon he saw a large mansion, he could see that there were some young people in the huge backyard, it was the size of a football stadium, he soon knew where they were when they landed.
There were three people waiting for them , a man in a floating wheelchair, in a green suit and white shirt, bald and with kind eyes, beside him a beautiful black woman in an African dress, with long silky white hair and blue eyes and on the left side a short but strong man with wild black hair, leather boots, jeans, leather jacket and white shirt and silver eyes and a cigar in his mouth.
The wheelchair man came towards Nick and Calvin who was in his Superman costume.
"Thank you so much for coming Nick, and thank you too Kal-El, you don't know the pleasure of meeting you here." Charles said as he shook hands with both of them.
Calvin smiled, he had revealed some details about his alien origin, it was an uproar when the news came, and the one who was most excited was J.Jonah Jameson who was the owner of the newspaper Daily Bugle.
"The honor is mine Professor Xavier, your work in genetics and social theory is simply fascinating and inspiring." Calvin said very sincerely.
Charles Xavier was once one of his favorite characters, until the writers started turning the good, humble professor into some kind of evil genius, ending the incredibly complex rivalry between him and Magneto.
But by the good gods of comics he had stopped in the universe where he was simply a man who fought for what was right, even though he had lost the use of his legs, he gave off a gentle and humble aura.
"Well, recently the new generation has proven itself quite capable, a young scientist called Calvin Kent did a great job revising my theories and improving them, it has helped my work a lot." Charles said as he led them into his mansion.
"These two are my first two members of the school, this beautiful lady is Ororo Munroe, I've known her since she was a child in Cairo." He introduced the beautiful woman.
"Hello, so happy to meet you Superman, your work has been so inspiring." Ororo said with a beautiful smile.
"The pleasure is mine Miss Munroe." Calvin said politely.
"Please call me Ororo." She said raising her hand politely.
"Then you can call me Kal, my alien name." Calvin said lightly joking and Ororo chuckled.
"And this good-natured man named Logan, he's helped me a lot these last few years." Charles said with amusement, but Calvin noted that he didn't comment on age.
"What's up." He simply said while smoking, but a light gust of wind extinguished the cigar, he grunted irritably looking at Ororo who smiled.
"Nice to see you Logan." Nick said shaking Logan's hand.
"I don't know if I can say the same, at least you're still alive." Logan said as we all walked into the mansion.
Charles soon took everyone to his office in the mansion, it was a cozy place, something a school principal would have, but the huge table was something quite strange in the middle of a room.
"I'm glad you two came, now sir Kal, I don't think I've been completely honest with you." Charles said with a little embarrassment.
Calvin raised an eyebrow at that.
"See, this school is not only a legal educational institution, it is also a refuge for young people with a common condition." Charles explained.
"See, I have the Meta-gene, which makes me a Meta-human, after some pretty wild life experiences I decided to dedicate my life and wealth to building a place where young Meta-humans could live in a relaxed way, where that they could have a home, and that I could provide something that no one could take away from them." Charles continued.
"Education." Calvin completed, making Charles smile widely.
"Exactly!!, it is my conviction that the school, a place where young people build and learn to socialize, is where we can end prejudice, that's why I accept young humans and Meta-humans, so that they can live together." Charles said excitedly, as he always did when talking about his dream.
Ororo smiled as she saw the Professor who took care of her when she was a child, seeing him so excited made her very happy.
"In any case, my abilities are based on telepathy, a rather evolved one if I may be immodest, but with equipment they are increased." Charles returned to the initial topic.
"For what purpose?" Calvin asked, playing the fool.
"Encountering young Metahumans, particularly those whose lives are in danger, or those whose abilities make them too dangerous to be around people." Charles explained patiently.
"But a few weeks ago there were some inconsistencies." Charles pressed a button, and on the table several screens appeared, with images of the oceanic area, with a single yellow stain.
"It's moving!" Calvin realized quickly, and at the speed he was moving he would reach the coast of the United States in two days.
"How did we not detect this?" Fury asked irritably.
"Well mainly due to the fact that this anomaly is underwater, that's the telepathic reading." Charles has now shocked everyone in the office.
"But Professor!! this thing is giant and it's alive!!?" Ororo asks , mainly due to the strange format.
"What ta fuc.." Logan just managed to get it out.
"Logan language" Charles scolded lightly.
"Professor, this is quite serious." Calvin said having theories of what it was about.
"Yes, that's why I called Nick and asked him to call you, this situation is a little above us, but with your help I'm confident we can handle it." Charles said confidently.
"Well, when do we leave?" Calvin asked, and Charles simply smiled.
"I have something for us." Charles said by pressing another button.
"Hank!!, we're coming down." He said and asked them to follow him.
X-Men fans can already guess by the title who we're talking about here, there will be some changes, but the concept remains the same.
