"Mind speaking by the way"
The next morning the lonely boy awakened to the shake of the gruff man named
Logan.
"Wake up kid the professor is waiting to see you." Logan said with a growl.
Leading the ay to the professors office. Smelling the air as he went trying
to distinguish a scent that was trapped in his mind. Through many hall ways
and past many doors, Logan showed the way to the professor's office.
"Here's the professors office, bub." Logan stated as if it were a conclusion
that the boy couldn't come to on his own. Logan knocked on the beautiful oak
wood door with it's delicate carved designs.
"Come in." came the voice of the professor. The two walked in to the room to
see the professor sitting in a wheel chair in front of a oak desk. Shuffling
through the many papers of a school, a shelter, and a home. "Hello, my name
is professor Xavier. This is my institute for the gifted children of the
world. How may I help you?" he asked sincerely. Never letting the stress of
his life influence his attitude towards those that come to him in need.
"My name is X. I have traveled a long way to seek shelter at your school."
"Well we are open to all, X. As you know this is a school for mutants, so
would you be so kind as to enlighten me as to what your abilities are?" Xavier asked with a mild tone of amusement to hear what the boys abilities might be.
"My mutation is somewhat hard to explain but I will try to make it as simple
as I can. My first mutation that I discovered was that I could activate the
X gene in others. Also because of this I can receive information on anyone
who is a mutant or will be a mutant. Like Logan I know what his abilities
are, including if he has more and is not aware of it. I also can turn a
human into a mutant and a mutant a human. I have a question that I must ask
you, before I can answer anymore of yours. If you don't mind." X asked the
professor, wary of how his question was to be answered.
"Of course, I would be happy to answer your question. I must say that you
have quit a gift on you as well." Xavier smiled with a gleam in his eye at
hearing what X's powers were since they could help out his "team" greatly.
"Well when I first found out about my abilities it was because I had made
some my pets into mutants. And I have three that stay with me and I was
wondering if they might be able to stay as well. I have my dog Buddy, my
snake Sliver, and my spider Dreamer. Since I have turned these three they're
starting to evolve exceedingly fast. Their intelligence is higher then most of
my friends at the time. And their powers have increased in different ways
but they all seem to be loyal to me. Listen to this professor." X said to he
professor as he tapped his forehead indicating his mind.
"BUDDY " A giant bark could be heard in the room as a whole appeared in
the reality of the room. A brown and red striped pit bull came out of the
whole and sat next to X. Buddy sniffed the room and stared at the professor.
"Hello my name is Buddy, as X may have already told you. It is nice to meet
you Xavier." Buddy then turned to look at Logan "Hi Logan. Long time
no-see. When was the last time we talked, wasn't it Japan." Buddy looked up
and listened to a sound only he could hear. Barked within their minds and
jumped through a whole in the reality of the room.
"How the hell did he know me and what did he mean long time no-see." Logan
all but growled towards X.
"Logan do stay calm. X will explain all that he can. Go on X." the professor
gestured kindly.
"I don't know I think he can time travel, he can make rifts in the
dimensional layers of the world or something but otherwise him and the
others have a connection with me, hence they know where I am and what I am
thinking."
"Well," professor Xavier started then looked at Logan to sit down, " your
abilities seem to be quit admiral. I would love to have you attend our
school. I don't have a room at the moment for you but I think you could you
could bunk with Bobby Drake. He has a extra bed in his room you can use.
Logan can you please show X to his new room. Have a great day and tomorrow
we will talk about classes." Xavier bid adieu to X and Logan with a smile
on his face at the new addition to his school.
"Come on bub, your new room is this way." Logan ushered X over with his hand,
as he started to walk down the long hallway leading to the many rooms of
students that attended the school. Logan stopped at a door and knocked. A
voice yelled come in and the two walked into the somewhat messy room of a
young teenager with brow hair and blue eyes. A young women was sitting
beside him on his bed. Wearing long white gloves that went with the white streak in her hair.
"We have a new student and you're his new room mate. Don't like it, deal with
it. His name is X." and with that Logan walked out the door leaving the
three teenagers alone, in an awkward silence untill X spoke up.
"Hi I'm X nice to meet you Bobby," then he turned to the girl in the white
gloves," and nice to meet you also Marie." X said warily. Unsure about the
girl in front of him. Her powers he could feel and the strength that she
held but could not place the feeling she gave off.
"Actually I go by the name of Rouge now. So let me guess, you are a mind
reader." Rouge said happily to X. In reply all X could do was shake his head
no.
"Is there a shower around here that I can use, I feel a bit dirty." X smiled
with a bit of embarrassment. Bobby pointed to the door next to the tv. X
smiled and said thanks, he walked to the door but turned around."Hey um, my
stuff should be here before I get out can you just tell them I'm in the
shower and to leave the stuff there. Thanks." X waved and walked into the
bathroom and closed the door. X walked to the mirror and looked at himself.
"What am I doing here? I shouldn't be here." X spoke to himself. In his
reflection he saw a tall somewhat skinny boy who had beautiful blue/green
eyes, a whitish tan skin tone, as well as dark curly hair. A dirty green cloak
hanging around his shoulders, beat up pants, ugly shoes, and a filthy green
shirt. " I need to change my clothes but first, a shower". X stripped out of
his dirty clothes and hopped into the shower. Turning the facet handle,
letting hot water pour onto his sore body. His thoughts wandering around the
school looking and thinking, peering into the powers and mutations and
possibilities around him. "Dreamer, come to me please. Buddy can you bring
my stuff?" As X called his friends to come to him a whole opened above his
head. A button sized spider dropped through on an invisible web.
"You called X?" the spider asked as X washed away the dirt from his body.
"Yeah, I found the institute and they said I could stay but there are some
things I need you to take care of for me. Do you think you can do that for
me? I need you to find out as much about the girl called Rouge, I have a
feeling that she will be someone nice to have as an alie in the future, but
I need to know more about her."
"I know what to do I will have the information to you tomorrow. Oh, Buddy is
here. Have a good night."
"You too." X said good-bye to Dreamer. As he crawled up the web back
through its whole in the air. Just as the door opened and Buddy came in
with a suit case.
"Hey X I brought your stuff I will be on the bed when you get out and I
picked you up some new shoes too. They're black skater shoes like you like."
With that Buddy left the bathroom and left X to himself. X spent another 5
minutes in the shower relaxing the tense muscles in his body. He turned the
water off. Opened the curtains and found a black towel on top of his suit
case along with a box of what looked like his new shoes. X dried off with
his towel and opened his suit case to get dressed.
He opened the bathroom door and saw Bobby looking confusedly at Buddy laying
down on X's made bed. "Oh sorry Bobby this is Buddy. Buddy this is Bobby.
Bobby freezes water particles in the air. Buddy has, I don't know, a lot of
powers. I hope you don't mind but he will being staying with us for a bit of
time but not much."
"Wait how do you know what I can do and what's with the dog. And if you
aren't a mind reader than how do you know all this?! I hate room mates."
Bobby asked in frustration at X's knowledge of him.
"You'll find out what my powers are in due time, but for now goodnight." X
walked over to his bed and laid down next to Buddy. As he slipped into
unconsciousness he thought of the possibilities that would come from him being
at the institute.
