-Luke's POV-
Ever since I got loose from her control, I realized I never liked Hope. At least as a leader.
She is bossy, demanding, and dismisses our ideas unless it matches her.
I still stuck with the Lights because, quite frankly, I didn't know what else to do…
Today we, the Lights are waiting for Wolverine to show up.
He was supposed to be teaching us hand-to-hand combat, instead, he was either failing to get drunk or stabbing people.
While waiting I opened a book and started reading.
Laurie saw me reading the book and asked "What are you reading?"
"Theories about sub-nuclear graviton and anti-graviton particles that a Canadian Scientist wrote," I said
"Which Canadian Scientist?" Laurie asked, as a Canadian Nerd she needed to know.
"Dr. Franklin Hall, you heard of him?" I said, expecting an outburst, but the one who spoke first wasn't Laurie
"Wait-WHAT? You are reading Graviton's work! Dude, the guy is a full-on, Avengers-Level bad guy, why would you read anything he wrote?" Gabriel all but screamed
I shrugged "He has similar powers to me, and the guy is a brilliant scientist. His insight into gravitation gives me a better understanding of my gifts. Why shouldn't I read his work?" I asked towards the room, only Hope seemed to wholeheartedly agree with me, as she nodded her head. Some of the others, namely Laurie and Gabriel, seemed to disagree.
So, I decided to demonstrate what I learned from Graviton "Thanks to studying his work I even learned to do this" I hold up my hand and fired a blue cohesive beam of gravitons towards the ocean, creating a small-sized explosion "I haven't tried my maximum output yet, but it should be capable of destroying a small island like this."
"That-that is scary, you should be careful with those or else you might pull off a Kenji," Gabriel said
"I don't appreciate naming every mutant accident, pulling a Kenji," Kenji said, making me question why he still hadn't killed Gabriel yet
At that moment Wolverine walked towards us, his body covered in ninja stars and arrows, his face slightly burned, mid-healing "None of you runts would happen to know anything about a beam that exploded on my face now, would you?"
"It was Cyclops," was the first thing that came to my mind, "Right, Teon?"
"Woof" Thank you Teon, I'll give you some left-over meat after this.
"Is that true Bub?" Wolverine asked as he looked at Gabriel
"What n-" Gabriel tried to say. I shifted his gravity to 3g and sent him a death glare. "I-I mean yes, it was Mister Summers,"
"I'll act as if I believe you… also, for next time you are lying, remember that slim's blasts are red" Wolverine said, clearly letting me off the hook to get some sleep, but before he could …
"Sir, we're all accounted for," Hope said, "And ready whenever you are."
"Ready for what?" Wolverine said as his face finally finished healing
"Combat training class," Hope said, making me shout 'Just Shut Up Women!' in my head if Wolverine gave us a Combat Class right now I would be turned into a shish kebab.
"And I guess I'm supposed to be teaching this class, huh?" Wolverine asked
"That's what it says on the schedule, sir," she said,
"What schedule is that?" Wolverine asks
"The one Cyclops gave us?" Hope said
"I see… You, what's your name again?" Wolverine asks the youngest member of the Lights
"Idie," she said
"How old are you, Idie?" Wolverine asks
"Fourteen," Idie says
"You should be playing with a doll or something not worrying about Combat Training," he said, despite the fact
"I had a doll once, made from pretty beads. I lost it when they tried to burn me for being a witch. Did you have many toys when you were fourteen?"
Damn… I sometimes forget how messed up Idie's situation is, I should do something nice for her…
Wolverine dismissed the class and left, probably to catch some sleep.
I then glared at our fearless leader "Hope! For the love of Jack Kirby, if you ever, and I mean ever, see the freaking Wolverine looking like he hadn't slept for days, covered in ninja stars and arrows, face mid-healing from an accidental blast I caused, you let him go to his bed!" I shouted, getting Hope to blush slightly.
Gabriel tried to say something for his girlfriend's sake, but I learned that tripling his gravity shuts him up very fast.
-A Few Hours Later; New York City, Luke's POV-
I had to go to New York City to find the best beads doll. It cost me 120 bucks, but it should be worth it.
After buying the doll, I went to a bar and used a fake ID to buy a beer (AN: US Drinking Age is Stupid). I looked at one of the TV's and saw a pink-haired cunt "Oi, can you turn on the volume?" I asked the barkeep. He looks at me for a second, nods, and reaches for the remote.
"I, Quentin Quire[1], take credit for today's actions in the name of us all!"
"Another damn mutie attack, this one forced the good politicians to tell the truth, when will their demonic acts end?" generic marvel civilian[2] number one informed me.
"Today, the world has seen its leaders exposed as the lying, conniving human filth they are. Today, one lone 16-year old mutant patriot yanked the strings of the Earth's Mightiest Puppet Masters" Quentin said
Damn… that Quentin's kid might be a worthless pink shit, but he knows how to create problems. Making politicians tell the truth is fucking diabolical.
"Now sit back, my friends, and watch them dance. Watch them scramble and fume. Watch them slather on more lies, to try and cover over the scars and seeping wounds we exposed here today. Watch them rage. Watch them lust for blood. My blood. Our blood." Quentin continued
Well yeah, now all the politicians will be blaming the mutants. Wouldn't be surprised if the UN sanctions the Sentinels to destroy Utopia, they might even try to send Avengers. I remember there being a comic called Avengers vs. X-Men, never read it, but maybe this is how it starts?
"Stay tuned to your screens, my mutant brothers and sisters for those of you out there who dare still doubt the hate and fear the humans' harbor for us, it's time you turn on, tune in and pull your head out of your fucking ass… and just watch what happens next." Quentin said
"To hell with what my wife says, I'm getting a gun, you never know when you'll meet a mutie," generic marvel civilian number two said.
I was about to leave when the generic marvel civilian number one grabbed my shoulder, "You've been quiet ever since you asked to turn on the volume. You wouldn't happen to be a mutie yourself now, would you?"
"And if I was?" I honestly was in no mood to deal with these people
He pulled a gun and tried to shoot me. The bullet stopped mid-air. "You actually tried to shoot me?"
"He-he is a mutant!" generic marvel civilian number two shouted, almost everyone in the bar got out of their seats. They either walked towards me or ran out of the bar.
"I want no trouble with any of you," none of them listened and I smiled "Oh who am I kidding? I wanted to try this out ever since coming here." 'Shinra Tensei!' a powerful repulsion wave knocked them all away, destroying a portion of the bar.
'I think I went a little too far, better get going before Spider-Man comes and gives a long-ass speech about great power coming with great responsibility,' I thought to myself before flying towards Utopia.
-Two Hours Later, Scene Change: Utopia, General POV-
"Yo Idie, I got you a pr-" Luke then noticed Wolverine eating Ice Cream with Idie
"Hold up runt, Slim wants to talk with you, he is in the main hall," Wolverine said
Luke nodded "Idie I got you this" and gave her the beads doll
"Thanks," she said, putting the beads doll next to the doll Logan gave her a few minutes ago.
Luke went to the main hall and when he got there, he saw Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magneto and Hope "Umm… is there a problem?" he asked
"Yes, nations around the world sanctioned Sentinels to guard their major cities, and news channels are showing the recent mutant attacks as the reason," Cyclops said
"Yeah, I heard about Quinten, but honestly, I thought people would be more interested in the French president marrying a doom bot, or the British prime minister raping children, or that Iran President actually loves America," Luke said half-jokingly
"We are not talking about Quinten, we are talking about you," Magneto said
"Me? I just used my powers when I got attacked in a bar, it's not like I killed anyone." Luke said with a shrug, but then he got worried "Wait, did I kill someone?"
"No, there were no casualties. But unfortunately, a famous New York Knicks player was in the bar at the time, and he got injured and his season ended, there is also the footage of you saying, and I quote, 'I wanted to try this out ever since coming here'." Cyclops said, "You are now being paraded as an example of how dangerous mutants can be."
"Hey, this is not his fault! He was just defending himself!" Hope rushed into her teammate's defense
"Maybe so, but the timing couldn't have been worse…" Cyclops said
"Are you kidding me? So I'm in the wrong for protecting myself?" Luke asks in shock as Wolverine and Idie walked in,
"No… you are in the wrong for using excessive force," Cyclops said, getting Luke to clench his fist
"So … what are we going to do now?" Hope asks
"Mutant race will hereby be entering Global High Alert. Emma, you will be transmitting the message to everyone with a functioning X-Gene,"
But then the Wakandan Queen walks into the hall "Let's not overreact and make this worse, Scott. These are maneuvers and tough talk, not open acts of aggression." she says
"How much more open do you need Ororo? The world just stuck its gun in our face." Scott said,
"And what would you suggest we do?" she asks him
"For starters… don't blink" he said, readjusting his visor.
Luke then runs out of the main hall and goes to his room, he locks the door, and jumps on to his bed 'What the fuck?'
-Luke's POV-
What the fuck?
How fucked up is this shit?
Multiple politicians admit to hating certain ethnic groups, beating their kids, raping adolescents, murdering dozens for fun, and all they focus on are how dangerous 'those damn muties' are…
I injure a man who attacks me, and I'm the danger?
What the actual fuck?
Characters:
Kid Omega [1]: Also known as Quentin Quire. He is an Omega Level telepath and a powerful telekinetic. He used to be a student at Xavier Institute as Charles Xavier's prize pupil until he created a gang of drug-abusing mutants. Since then he has been trying to be the next Magneto. He continues to fail as he does not have the charisma, will power or strength to pull it off. He is a pink-haired cunt.
Generic Marvel Civilian [2]: These people can sometimes be the dumbest creatures in the universe. For example, Spider-Man saves a girl's life multiple times over several years, and she assumes he must be obsessed with her, so she sues the Spider-Man and a Judge who felt pity for her gives her a restriction order, but then JJJ hears about her and makes Poor Puny Peter Parker take a picture of this crazy lady for an article in Daily Bugle. Another example of how dumb they can be is during the Civil War Saga, Johnny Storm goes to a bar for a drink, the civilians are mad at Fantastic Four (mainly because of Reed), so they decide to break a beer bottle on a man who can burn them alive, and then beat him to an inch-of-his-life. If that wasn't enough, there is also the time that Marvel New Yorkers elected Wilson Fisk, a fat, supervillain wannabe, crime lord to the Mayoral office.
