I own nothing in this fic

And I'll tell you know, the winner of the Tucker Dating Poll is: Amara. So you all know what to expect, and thank you to everyone that vote. I will say that its was a close call between Amara and Tabby, who stuck close for the entire poll until the end.

And now, on with the fic.

Danny came down early the next morning, not being able to sleep for some reason. He entered the living room to find Kurt, Jamie, and, as no surprise, his own father, watching Saturday morning cartoons. Danny just shook his head, knowing how childish his father was sometimes. Him watching cartoons was a weekend tradition if Danny ever knew one.

He made his way past the three and entered the Kitchen to find Jazz and Ororo making breakfast.

Jazz noticed and grinned, "your up before noon, on a weekend. What did you do with my brother?"

"Ha ha," replied Danny sarcastically, "just woke up and couldn't go back to sleep."

Jazz nodded, then asked as she handed him a glass of OJ, "so, how'd did your date go last night?"

"Wouldn't you like to know," he replied with a half smile.

"He kissed Rogue," came Becky's voice. The three looked up to see her grinning with her bear in her hand.

But Danny had glared, "you were watching us?"

Becky shrugged, "eh, its not like I've got much to do."

Danny shook his head, at the ghost girl.

Ororo looked at him, "you kissed Rogue. On the hand I assume?"

Danny opened his mouth when Becky giggled out, "nope, right on the lips."

Danny glared again while Ororo was shocked.

"Danny," she said, making him turn back to her, "why did you let her drain you like that. And how are you still up?"

Danny held up his hand, "whoa, I was in ghost form. And in my ghost form, we can touch."

Becky nodded in agreement with the half ghost, "yea, she touched me too and nothing happened."

Ororo calmed down a bit there, "oh. Well, I'm glad. She needs someone she can be close to without worrying about her powers."

Jazz nodded, "yea, I'm just trying to figure out why its Danny."

Danny glared at his sister, who just laughed. "What is this, pick on the half ghost day?"

Bamf

Kurt ported in, placing his plate in the sink after eating close to a dozen pancakes, when he noticed the others. Or at least, Danny. He walked over and raised a finger, "Danny, can I ask you a question?"

When Danny nodded, Kurt got in his face, "vhat are you intentions towards mien sister?"

Danny gulped, "um, well, um…"

"Kurt, what are ya doing," came Rogue's voice. She was walking in, still in her green and orange PJ's, her normal cloth gloves, and only half awake.

But woke up fully when Becky repeated Kurt's question.

Rogue glared at her 'brother', and growled out, "Kurt, your mah little brother. Don't go butting into mah life."

Kurt gave a sheepish look, "but I'm just trying to look out for mien sister." At her growl, this time louder, he made a very smart move.

Bamf

He teleported out of dodge.

Danny waved the sulfurous smoke out of his face, then he was finally able to breath.

Rogue gave a kind smile, "sorry about that, ah'll have a talk with him later."

Danny nodded in agreement, "yea, I don't think I need that again."

She smiled, when Becky called out, "so, is Danny a good kisser?"

"Wha," Rogue asked, wide-eye and slightly blushing. She looked at the floating ghost girl, then Danny, Jazz, Ororo, back to Becky, and finally her slightly angry gaze on Danny, "did ya tell them about last night?"

Danny quickly shook his head, "no, she was watching."

Rogue glared back at Becky, who gave a sheepish smiled, that sealed the truth. Rogue chewed her cheeks for a moment, then smiled, "yea, he's a good kisser, hope you weren't jealous."

Becky thought for a moment, then shook her head, "nah, he's more like a big brother."

The all the woman looked back at a slightly blushing Danny. He finally threw his hands in the air, "I'm leaving, your all just picking on me. Maybe I can find the box ghost somewhere."

When he stepped out, Jazz and Becky laughed, and Rogue and Ororo just smiled.

When Jazz gathered herself, she asked Rogue who got a mug for coffee, "So, you had a good time with Danny last night."

Rogue had a slight smile at the memory, and nodded, "yea, ah did. There were a couple of problems, but nothing weh couldn't a handled."

"Like how Lance showed up," said Ororo.

Rogue looked turn around and moved towards the table, "yea, and a jerk at the movies. But Danny got us in and he wasn't there when Lance showed up. His ghost sense went off, so he went to fight whatever it was."

"And I bet you told you to stay back," asked Jazz. Rogue nodded, and Jazz smiled, "yep, knew it. Danny always protected me and his two friends as best as he could, which meant he flew on ahead and told us to stay behind, but we never listened."

"Yea, but ah didn't know wha ah would have been able to do to help," replied Rogue, sipping her coffee, waking up a bit.

Jazz just shrugged, "that's why we always played it by ear, and helped where we could. Oh, and Rogue," Jazz just, her mood changing completely. Rogue looked at her with a raised eyebrow as Jazz said, "you break his heart, I break your legs. I love him to much to be hurt."

And with that, Jazz got up, put her dishes in the sink, and walked out, leaving a smiling Storm and a grinning Rogue.

"Well," said Rogue, turning to the older woman, "tha was new."

All Sam and Tucker could see standing at the base of the driveway was an iron gate and plant covered walls.

"Are you sure he's here Tuck," she asked, "I mean, this place looks expensive."

"That's what his school records said," he replied, scratching his head, "still like to know how I managed to find out that information, I didn't even bring that up on my PDA."

Sam shrugged, "who knows, might have been something left over from a ghost attack."

Tucker shrugged and pressed the call button.

"Yes, can I help you," came a older man's voice nether teenager knew.

"Yea, hi," said Tucker, "were looking for someone, and we think he here."

A pause, then the voice came back, "and who might that be, and how do you know this person?"

"Danny Fenton," replied Tucker, "were friends of his from his old home."

At that point, another female voice that sounded like Jazz came over, "Tuck, is that you?"

"Jazz," Sam asked.

Tucker shrugged and pressed the button again, "yea, and Sam's here to. That you Jazz?"

Her voice came back over, "yea. I'll buzz you guys in. Come on up."

The two friends looked at each other and shrugged. The gate opened and they began to walk up the driveway.

"Danny," called Jazz as she entered the living room, finding him with Rogue. "Danny, Tuck and Sam are here."

Danny's eyes went wide, "What? Why?"

Jazz shrugged, "I don't know, there on their way up. I just opened the gate for them when I heard Mr. McCoy talking to Tuck at least."

Danny stood up, "sorry about this Rogue."

"Its fine," she replied, standing up, "ah'll come with you."

Danny nodded as he walked to the front door, Rogue next to him and Jazz behind him they made there way to the front door when Amara opened.

"Well," Danny heard Tucker, "hello there." Danny groaned, as he knew Tucker was going to 'Mr. Suave' mode.

"If I my ask…" Tucker was cut off by ending up on the floor, having tripped over the threshold.

As Amara giggled, Rogue saw Tucker for the first time. He was an African American boy with green cargo pants, yellow long sleeved shirt, a red beret and glass upon his head.

"Ow," he mumbled, "my pride."

"Nice going Tuck, you didn't even make it to asking her name before you flopped," and in walked Sam. She had part her black hair done up in a high ponytail, the rest hanging freely. She wore knee high boots, a green and black skirt, and a black shirt. "And beside," she went on, glaring at her friend on the floor, "were here to see Danny."

"Can I ask why," he said, bring both of their attention to him, "and why you came, and how you got here."

Sam sent him a death glare, walking over Tucker to him, "were here because after you fight with Technis, you've sent two email, and you haven't explained what had happened. We tried calling your house, but found the phone disconnected. And why, cause the address you gave us is no longer there."

Tucker got up saying, "as for how we got here, Sam's parents plane."

Danny though, had smacked himself in the head, "god, I'm sorry. Things have been hectic around here, and most of it not good."

Tucker smiled, "yea, well, a lot's happened in Amity too dude. Lancer's gone cause…"

"Cause he's the new Principle at Bayville high, my new school," said Danny.

Both Sam and Tucker went slack jawed.

"Ah guess you really haven't told them much," said Rogue.

Sam snapped out of her daze, "um, who are you?"

Danny motioned to them, "Rogue, meet Tucker Foley and Samantha Manson, my best friends. Guys, this is Rogue."

Tucker turn back to Amara, who was still standing there, "and who are you gorgeous?"

Amara giggle at Tucker, "Amara."

Sam rolled her eyes as she grabbed the back of his shirt, "down boy."

Tabitha came in, and saw Amara, "hey girl, were heading to the mall, C'mon."

She grabbed Amara, who went along, waving at Tucker as she left. "See you later Tucker," she called out before leaving.

Sam sighed, "Ok, now get your hormones under control Tuck. We have more important things to talk to Danny about." She looked at Rogue, "Private things."

Rogue returned the glare Sam was giving her, "ah don't think so. Ah'm his girlfriend, so you got something to say to him, ya'll can say it to me two."

Sam went pure white," girl…girlfriend." She looked at Danny, who gave a small smile, "Danny, is it true?"

"Um, yea Sam, we, had our first date last night," he replied.

She was completely stunned, and Tucker asked, "but, what about you, special, activities." Tucker used that to cover his half ghost side.

"Wha, are ya talking about him fighting ghosts," said Rogue, with a raised eyebrow.

Now both teens were stunned, when someone else entered. Little Becky came floating in through a wall, holding her teddy bear in one hand.

Tucker looked over at the new comer, then before his mind processed it, looked back at Danny to ask something else. His head snapped back towards the ghost.

"Danny, ghost," Tucker cried, backing up with Sam to give him room to fight.

"I know," said Danny, "I brought her here. Guys, meet Becky. Becky, my old friends I told you about."

She nodded, and looked, "I remember. They aren't going to try and capture me, are they?"

Danny shook his head, "no, they won't. Your safe."

"Danny," said Sam for the first time in a bit, "I think we need to talk for a bit."

Danny nodded, "c'mon, lets go upstairs somewhere private and I'll explain everything." Danny would have taken them to his parents or the Professor, but other then Beast, none of the adult were here. Logan went out on one of his getaways, Ororo was driving the Professor to some sort of meeting, and his parents were out doing some grocery shopping for Ororo.

Sam and Tucker exchanged looks, then followed Danny and Rogue up the stairs.

What Danny would explain to them, would blow their minds.

Sam and Tucker just sat in Danny's room in complete disbelief.

They had been there for half an hour, talking about what had happened. Danny told him about Vald, how he had found Becky, his parent's reaction to his half ghost life, and Rogue finished off by telling them about the institute.

Sam asked, "and last night, you two went out on your first date?"

Both blushed, but nodded at the same time. Sam became more depressed then when she had ever felt. When Rogue, still could figure how someone could use that fore a name, said she was Danny's girlfriend, Sam's heart stopped. But when they admitted it, her heart completely shattered. Sam had to admit she lost her chance when Danny left, but it still hurt on the inside.

Tucker got off the topic, "ok, but where was that place that you had me hack in. If they want to keep a hold on security, they need an upgrade badly."

Rogue opened her mouth to answer, when everyone in the room heard in there heads, "Danny, Rogue, could you please show your guests to my office."

Tucker jumped and started looking around, "what was that, am I hearing things?"

Danny laughed a bit and their shocked faces, "No, that was the Professor, he's a telepath."

"Yea," added Rogue, "and its best not ta keep him waiting."

The four made there way to the Professor's office, and enter to find Xavier by himself behind his desk.

"No need to worry Danny, Tucker and Samantha are not in trouble," reassured the Professor.

Sam glared, "I would be preferred to be called Sam."

Xavier nodded, "very well. Please, take a seat, all of you." When they did so, the Professor went on, "I realize that Danny and Rogue have both told you what Danny has been through within the past week. I want you to realize this is a safe heaven for mutants of all kind. I created this school for students to learn control of their gifts. But we also have many secrets here, and being that mutant and human relations are almost non-existent, we must not show that we train our skills here. It would make it look like we are training to fight, when all that our students are doing is learning control."

"If this has to do with keeping secrets," said Tucker, "we'll keep them. Heck, it'll be easier then having to cover for Danny every day."

"Hey, leave me out of it," said Danny.

Tucker ignored his friend as he brought out his PDA, "but if your really want to feel safe, at least with your computer sys…what the?" Tucker watched as code began to spring up and literally write itself.

Exactly like he would.

And an alarm went off, one Rogue and Danny knew was Ceribro.

Charles was a bit shocked at this, and rolled over to a computer that he had decide to link to Ceribro so he didn't always have to travel to the lower levels to get to it. Xavier brought up the alert and read the information.

After a moment of silence, the Professor turned, "Well, it seems, Mr. Foley here, is in fact a mutant."

"What, but how," asked Tucker.

Rogue nodded in agreement, "yea, Professor, ah thought you said that a mutants power appears when there really stressed."

"Well, Tuck's always been good with computers," said Sam.

The Professor nodded, thinking aloud, "it could be that Mr. Foley had been given his gift at birth, and never knew about it."

Danny smiled, "welcome to the weird life now Tuck."

"Mr. Foley," said the Professor, shaking Tucker out of his stunned state, "would you like to learn more about this school, and of your gifts?"

Tucker just sat in shock, "Are you sure it just isn't something left over from a ghost attack?"

"Mr. Foley," said the Professor, "from what I have learned in talking with Danny's parents involving ghost, I have learned that should not be possible. Unless you used your PDA when we were having problems with Technis."

"No, I used my home computer," said Tucker with a shake of his head.

Xavier nodded, "then yes, you are a mutant. And from what I have seen both here and inside what we call the danger room, you are more then likely a cyberpath. A mutant whose gift deals with computer electronics and software."

Rogue groaned, "Just what weh need, another Forge."

"No exact like Forge, Rogue," replied the Professor, "because I believe that Tucker here is good with computers and the like, and not with building things."

Tucker nodded, grimacing at the memory of his dad trying to teach him simple car maintenance. That same day, they had to go out and buy a new car after Tucker somehow got the engine in the trunk and replaced the transmission with the steering wheel. It was just better not to ask.

Xavier smiled with a raised eyebrow at Tucker's memory, and went on, "as for your gifts, you say that you've always been good with computers. It could be like others at the institute, like Kurt Wagner, a student that was born with physical changes that makes him look different. It could be, that you powers have grown as you have aged. Were before, you could simple work quickly with a keyboard on a computer, you maybe able to simply think what you want a computer can do, and it will happen."

Sam pointed at Tucker, "you mean he might become another Technis."

"No, at least, not for a long time," replied Xavier.

Tucker looked at the older man, "so, what's going to happen to me?"

Xavier gave a smile, "I will contact your parents, and them we will go and talk in person tomorrow about you coming here."

"But what about Sam," Tucker said. "Without Danny, we've only had each other, and if I'm leaving, she'll have no friends."

Xavier thought for a moment, then gave a smile to the girl in question, "I believe, I will see if your family would allow you here as well. You are more then welcome to join us here at the institute."

Tucker and Sam shared a look as the Professor began to wheel out the room, asking the four to come along so that they could meet the other students.

And the look said clearly, 'what have we gotten into?'

Ok, I hope everyone enjoyed this and thanks to Kage for looking this over and helping me figure out the end. I guess I owe you one dude. And I'll post as soon as I can come up with the next chapter.
