1985-
It was just another normal day at the mansion. I got up and had classes until 2. For some reason Hank had cancelled the training for the day. I understood why when I was walking through the school after my last class. Standing in the hall was Inara Summers and he wasn't alone, they boy he was with spoke
"Smells pretty old in here. Is this a school or museum" i then called
"Alex!". I went up to him and hugged him. He hugged back sayin
"Hey Inara" when I pulled away I saw Hank coming down the stairs then came down saying
" Alex Summers?
" Hank McCoy! Whoa. What happen to the big blue... furry you?" they shook hands as HAnk said
"I, keep it under control now." Alex then said
"This is my brother, Scott" Hank then said
"Hey, Scott. I'm Hank McCoy. I'm one of the teachers here" I then said
"I have to go. It was nice seeing you again Inara . Nice meeting you Scott".
Hanks P.O. V
As INara walked away Alex said
"so not so little anymore"
"yeah, she's not a kid anymore"
"and how's the professor dealing with that"
"Umm. He's dealing with it in a fatherly way"
"Speaking of the Professor, Where is he?"
"Follow me" we then made our way through the school towards one of the classrooms.
As we approached the room Charles was reading a book to his class
"... to break forth bloodily, then the past must be obliterated and a new start made. Let us now start fresh without remembrance, rather than live forward and backward at the same time. Now, what are the aggrieve things that the author meant when he wrote all that? He... That's going to be your assignment for tomorrow. Top marks, everyone. Class dismiss" his class got up and made there was out of the room. When they left Charles said
"Alex, it's good to see you" Alex hugged Charles whilst saying
" Yeah, you too"
": You look... well. It's been a while"
" It has. You're not too bad yourself"
"Thank you" Alex then gestured to Scott and said
"This is my brother, Scott"
"Hello, Scott. Welcome to the school for the gifted" Scott then said
"Yeah. It doesn't exactly feel like a gift"
" It never does, not at first. Let's take a walk" the four if us then left and went outside.
When we were outside Charles was speaking
"The first step in understanding one's power is learning the extent of it. Only then, can we begin the process of teaching you how to control it. If you do decide to stay, I can promise you that by the time you are done here you'll be able to go back into the world and play a stable productive partner. Why don't you take your bandages off and we can have a look at what we're dealing with here. Alex, would you line him up. Face him in the right direction if you will. There's a target just across the water. When you open your eyes, try and hit that. You can open your eyes, Scott. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's quite... Get back! Get back. Get back. Whoa!" I saw Inara jumping out of the way I then yelled to her
"Inara, you good"
"I'm good" Charles then said
"My grandfather planted that tree when he was 5 years old. I used to swing from the branches then myself. I think that was probably my favourite tree" Scott covered his eyes and said
"Does that mean I'm expelled?"
"On the contrary. You're enrolled"
The next day
Scotts P.O.V.
After spending the night at the mansion Professor McCoy told me he had something to show me, so we went outside. When we were outside he put something in my hand and said
"The lenses are made up of some ruby quartz I have lying around. They should be able to refract your optic beams and keep them contain within their own vector fields. Try them on. Okay, go ahead." i went to take my bandages off but he stopped me
"Wait. Wait. Sorry, no" He turned me to the side before saying
"Okay"
"Now?"
"Yeah, you're good"
"Alright" i put the glasses on and then opened my eyes. Everything was red but i could see. I then said
"Whoa. I can see. Thank you. Professor, thank you. You're a genius." he then replied
"No, I'm... not a professor. I wish."i then looked over and saw two girl sitting under a tree, one had red hair and the other had Black hair. They were both good looking but there was something about the girl with Black hair, i can't figure it out what. I then said
"Who are they?" he followed my gaze before saying
" I believe you met one of them, Inara Xavier. You bumped into her when you arrived..." I cut him off by saying
"Wait, that's the professor's Daughter"
"Yeah. Why"
"Alex may have mentioned her. Whos the other girl"
"Jean Gray. Go say hello" he pushed me slightly before heading back to the mansion. I then made my way over to the girls
When i got over to the i said
"Hey" Both of them looked up, jean spoke first
"Hey" Inara then said
"You can see"
"Yeah. It's not as bad as I thought here" a few students then walked by saying
"Freaks"
" Someone should warn that new kid" I scoffed before saying
"They're still scared of me. Hey, I have special glasses now!" Jean then said
"They're not scared of you, they're scared of us. You're not the only one who can't fully control your powers"
" Wait, so... Last night, when the house shook... That was one of you?" Jean nodded and said
"Sorry to break it to you, but you are not the biggest freak of this school."
" Well. That's a first." INara then said
"Jean was the one who shook the house but my powers can a little more unpredictable" I sat down with them and said
"Mind telling me how..."
