Chapter Seven

June 30 1999

The Professor was going over a file that Captain America had sent the X-men, it was a file on an person that the U.S Government and several other Governments had sent to their people that dealed with the unusual (Mutants, the supernatural, ect.), the person was known as agent Ares and he was to be given all the support he needed if asked, no questions asked, the file had a picture and his current I.D. What Charles found interesting was when he had the picture of "Xander" run through his computer it came back with several other older pictures and names with those pictures.

Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr.

Gabriel Van Helsing

Angus Jones

And the one that nearly made him choke on his Earl Gray tea was the last Picture, of a painting he had seen in the headquarters of the Illuminati when he had joined it as a young man, forty years ago, it was a painting of one of the founders of the Illuminati, none other than Arthur Pendragon the once and future king of England. If it wasn't the fact that some of Charles' friends were various types of "immortals", he would have thought that it was just a conscience that the all of the pictures looked like the same man at different ages. Then the Professor remembered that when he was 10, his father had taken him to a speech that Dr, Jones had gave at Oxford on a little known Egyptian rebel named En Sabah Nur who had over thrown the Pharaoh Rama-Tut but latter when he had moved on was erased from history. It was during that speech that Xavier's mutant ability had for a couple of seconds had worked and he had saw Dr. Jones life stretching back for millennia and the shock had shut down his ability until he was 17 and he had forgotten that memory until now, that's when he felt that ancient mind coming towards the school looking for his Granddaughter, Rouge. Charles looked out of his window and saw a Lexus coming up the road from town, although shocked Xavier could help but smile as he thought of the shocked faces as his students and teachers when they saw how young Rouge's Grandfather looked, as well as found out who Rouges grandfather was. Charles shut down the computer and left his office to meet his guest at the main door.

Xander felt like something had touched his mind when he was a quarter mile from the school, as he came to the gate it opened as if he was expected, as he pulled up to the mansion he saw a man in a wheel chair waiting for him, the Picard look alike he knew from the photos was Charles Xavier, Xander got this weird feeling that they had meet before.

When Xander got out of his car he got a shock when the Professor said.

"Welcome to my School for the gifted Mr. Harris." Charles eyes twinkled in humor when he felt Xander's shock and knew this was going to be an interesting time with Xander here.

"Ah thank you just call me Xander, when I hear somebody say Mr. Harris I start looking for the asshole that claimed to be my father, and how do you know my name."

"Very well Xander and if you come with me I will show you how I know your name."

Professor X watched in amusement as Xander went threw the files that Captain America had given him, picking up on his emotions and hearing him mutter about kicking some one named Merlin's ass. The Professor hoped that Merlin was just somebody other than "The Merlin" but deep down he knew if King Arthur was still around then there was a good chance that Merlin was as well. When Xander was done with the file Charles turned his monitor around so Xander could see the Pictures that the computer had came up with when it compared Xander's with others on file, Xanders face went pale, seeing this Charles said.

"Xander please, your secret is safe with me, we all have secrets, for mine are that I'm a mutant and my school is for mutants to learn how to control their powers."

Xander gave a week smile and said " Well that explains why Priscilla disowned Marie, I'm so going to chew her out for that you don't do that to family, and you are missing a couple of my Identities on your computer you might want to add Gabriel Van Helsing,

Danaan and Ares."

Charles was shocked again at what Xander had said, "Excuse me but just how old are you?"

"Roughly 12000 years I think."

After talking for several hours Xander decided to head back to New York City he wasn't ready yet to meet his family especially after he saw Logan, one of his children from his Van Helsing days and finding out what little Xavier knew of his life and his abilities.
