A/N This is where the recruitment begins. This chapter introduces my OC, its short, but most of Professor X recruitment's were in the beginning
Most days, Detroit isn't a bad place to live. Yes, it has its ups and down but most days you didn't have to worry about a walk down the street. Sadly today wasn't one of those days. A woman stepped out of a shopping center; she carried two heavy bags stuffed designer clothes and shoes, and her purse hung over her shoulder.
A young man ran up behind her, yanked the purse off her arm, and ran. Her bags hit the floor as the purse was pulled from her. "No," She screamed "Someone HELP!"
"Yo, punk" yelled a voice "Don't you have anything better to do than pick on defenseless Ladies. "
"What!" the thief yelled as a boy a little younger than him tackled him to the ground. "I'm going to kill you" muttered the thief pulled a knife.
"I don't think so." An electric charge left the young heroes hands and shocked the thief into submission. The young boy picked up the purse and handed it back to the woman. The woman stood frozen in with fear. The woman feared this young would be hero more than any thief because he was a mutant.
"Here." He held the purse, and she quickly snatched her purse and fallen bags then retreated. "You Welcome!" he shouted at her "I swear to god that's the last time I stick my neck out for an ungrateful-"
"Hello, Adam Thomson" The young boy turned to see an older bald man sitting in a wheelchair.
"How do you"
"Know your name?" the man finished "I'm Professor Charles Xavier, and like you I am a mutant. You can create and discharge energy while I'm a psychic I can read people's minds. "
"Okay," Adam said hesitantly thinking of all the sad and embarrassing things he's done in his life.
The Professor ignored all the thoughts rampaging through Adam's head. "I'm here to make you an offer."
"What kind of offer?" Adam asked.
"I would like to help you learn to control your abilities."
"And then what?" Adam asked.
"I offer you a chance to become an X-man, become a beacon for other out there like us."
"Like a superhero?" Adam asked thinking of the Avengers.
"No, heroes are adored, and I can't promise the people's endearment, if anything the world will come to fear and hate you, but you will be making a difference."
Adam went over his options, and he didn't have many. He was homeless; his stepfather threw him to the streets as soon as his powers manifested. His mother wanted him home, but she wouldn't go against her husband, even though she loved Adam she also feared him. He didn't blame her though; Adam brought his hands close together and a wave of green electric energy sparked. "You'll help me to control this?"
"Yes, I will do my best" The Professor said turning his chair around, "Fallow me Adam because it's a brand new day for you."
