Meagan sat outside at the wooden table in front of the pool that still wasn't fully up and working since it was spring. Today, it was cold due to some winds and a storm from the night before.
She wore jean shorts with a white tank top and a black zip up hoodie. Her red hair was down as her eyes were focused on the book that was flat on the table.
It was the week before spring break and a number of students had left as Jean had let many of the left over students go on a trip to the beach. Leaving any that didn't want to go and some of the younger students.
Without knowing it a teenager who looked to be a few years older then her had somehow taken a seat across from her without her knowing.
She glanced at him for a second then again but her eyes stayed on him. His head rested at angle on his arms as his dark red eyes were on her. His blood red hair fell but was still cut short.
"Sorry" he said, looking away in the opposite direction from her. Shes prefect, seriously prefect, its stunning how prefect is she. How can someone be so, so prefect!
She lightly smiled and blushed at his thoughts.
"I'm Meagan" she said, her eyes on the book instead of him.
"Chris" he shifted a bit. "Are you a telepath?"
"Yeah, are you?" She replied.
"Nope. My dad taught me this trick, how to find telepaths using our powers" he answered.
She was interested in his powers at this point, she'd never heard of anyone who was able to figure out who was or wasn't a telepath.
"What is your power?"
"Its...not easy to explain."
Looking at him, she could only read a little of his mind since he'd blocked off the rest.
Slowly, she moved closer to him.
"Well try, or let me read your mind of it."
He moved his head so he could look at her and closed his eyes. "Have fun, I'm gonna go to sleep" he said, letting his words drift as he spoke.
She rested her head on her arms like he had, and looked at him.
"Wow, thats awesome!" She yelled causing him to open his eyes.
"Really? Most people get freaked out when they learn so why do you think its so cool?"
"Someone besides me my dad an' brother have a healing factor! Thats awesome! Plus you can heal people!" She said rather loudly.
"I can heal but I can also really hurt people, I'm dangerous." He said, noticing that she didn't realize it.
"My brother is dangerous too," she leaned close to him. "Wanna see?" She asked him.
"Sure, how?"
"I can just give you the memory like a video" she explained.
"Okay then" he said looking at, unsure of how she was going to send him the "video".
The rec room was pinch as the couch had been forced against the wall.
Logan ducked as a pair of claws swung wildly at him. Freezing in place, the claws came within an inch of his face as the other was under his chin. Matt kicked Logan back with a smirk and a loud thud as he left his foot print on his black shirt.
A faint flame could be seen around his body as he slowly continued into the room.
"Matt snap out of it!" Alex yelled, jumping at Matt then holding him in place with his powers.
"Not a chance" he replied sending him back into the wall.
Suddenly whole body froze again as he fell to the floor, his body shook trying to move.
A large man rock jumped into the air, aiming to land on him. Just as he was about to be slammed the boy was thrown at a pair of boys, one transported the rock man to the floor with a hopefully, softer landing as the other transported to Matt.
Within a minute all three brothers were out along with Logan, Alex and Jean. They were all out cold.
"How did you guys stop him?"
"We didn't, it was something else"
Matt was thrown into the wall, as he was pressed hard against it. "Damn!" He shouted, blood ran from his head and down his face, making him unable to see out his eye.
"You old witch! Let me fucking go or you'll have bigger problems then your son"
"I'm not going to lose my son" a dark eyed Jean yelled, tears in her eyes as she pushed herself up with her elbows as much as she could. "Matt, please just fight it" She begged him. "I know, I can't theres no way I can win, the Phoenix is too strong."
"If you don't just think of all the people you could hurt, its your choice. Only you can stop it" she explained to him, seeing his eyes turn from the solid cold black to a soft brown. With that she let him fall to the ground.
"Next time you'll lose him" he whispered, knowing that she had heard him. "Why do I feel like I just took a painful vacation for the day" Matt said, being himself. His body shock as he tried to sit up, failing he just laid on the ground, waiting for his healing factor to take affect.
Jean quickly got up then ran across the room to him then hugged him tightly, never wanting to let go. "Mom, you don't have t' hug me I'm here."
"Gees, what got him do that?" Chris asked."Just some bad luck. See, both of parents have bad sides that came with their powers and since my brother is the oldest, he got both of their powers along with their bad sides. It was just passed onto him."
"Oh, my dad doesn't plan on dying till he has to. Then hes gonna pass his power to me, so till whenever, I got only bout a quarter of his power."
"So how powerful are you now?"
"I've never put my powers to the max, but I came close to whipping out the whole state. When I was like only 3, my dad was able to stop me and save them all."
"An' here I thought you were powerful" she said turning with her back to him as she pulled her legs up onto the wooden bench.
A sly grin found its way across his face as she turned back around to face him then he planted a kiss on her lips.
She was surprised, he had controlled her into the kiss and after a second it was rather enjoyable, she almost didn't want to pull away. But did and just stared at him, blushing.
He wasn't sure what to do, or say, kissing wasn't something he did much.
He was quickly given a peck on the lips seeing her smile he smiled back. "You have a lovely smile, you should smile more" he said softly.
"You could smile more too, can't you just make yourself happier?"
"Oh yeah, or I could just make you happier, then you'd just be smiling 24 seven."
She smiled then dropped her smile and glared at him before playfully slapping him on the cheek and leaving.
"Don't mess with me, no matter what."
"Like I'd hurt ya" he yelled at her as she went inside. He looked up at the roof, seeing someone then resting his head back on his arms on the table. Noticing the book she left, he picked it up and opened it to the first page.
"It appears that theres someone who doesn't like me talking to Meagan, this should be interesting, since he has such a short temper."
Alex stood up on the roof, glaring at Chris he quickly jumped off the roof.
"Got ya mad huh?" he didn't move as his red eyes fell back on the book. "My bad" he said.
Alex pulled a small metal pole from his pocket and pressed a button extending it as he aimed it at Chris.
Chris raised his arm up in the direction of the pole, causing his arm to turn a deep shade of purple as the pole slammed into his arm.
Alex appeared to be standing on the air, at least five feet in the air. "Stay away from her" he said coldly to him. Dropping the pole to the ground he watched as Chris stretched his arm out, returning it to its normal tan color.
I'm more powerful then you think! Idiot!" Alex yelled at him, sending a red blast at him, Chris looked at him, jumping out of the way just in time.
"How did you do that?!"
"Alex's got Scott's blasts, plus telekineses and a bit of telepathic. Thats some mutation."
"Em's proud of him" Logan said, leaning against the windowsill as Chris' parents watched the two.
"Wouldn't be surprised, hes better then he looks t' be" his father said. His father was a few inches taller then Logan as his red hair and eyes matched his son's. He wore a white shirt under a dark blue jacket and matching pants as he keep a calm face.
"Chris seriously got himself into something, his blast are completely unpredictable to him." His mother said, really surprisingly interested in the battle's outcome. She seemed to be much happier then her husband and some years younger even though they were both around 20 years older then their son. Her black hair seemed to be on top of her purple colored hair as her blue eyes were on her son. She wore blue jeans with a red and white collared shirt.
"If he loses we should make him go back and train for the next 6 weeks" his mother said.
"Don't ya think thats a bit rough on the kid? Alex hasn't just been layin' around these past few years."
"Same with Chris, thats why we'd take him back for training."
"In order to keep his powers and his future power in control, he has to training a lot more then expected."
"An' knowin' ya probably train him ten times harder."
"You bet"
Chris stood up, taking position where on the ground. Alex quickly blasted at his feet, causing him to jump back. Just when he was about to shoot him, he fell to the ground, pinning himself down with his arm behind his back. "You cheater! Can't you fight like a man!"
"Whats the point? I already got ya down like this" he said with a smile.
"Hes getting kocky"
He fell to the ground, painfully. "You Jackass!" He jumped up and quickly sent Alex into the wall, then, with a deadly look in his eyes, Alex fell to the ground, coughing up blood. Within the next second, Chris was hard on the ground, in twice as much pain as Alex.
Knelling for a moment, he glared up at the window "you old man! I'm gonna get ya for this one!" he yelled up at his father who smirked.
"Yeah kid, try that again. An' you'll be back home till you turn 60." He said to his son, making sure he was able to hear it.
Logan walked outside to the pair, followed by Chris' mother.
Logan looked at Alex who was recovering as she offered her son a hand and pulled him up.
"Your father told me to tell you that you need to watch your emotions otherwise you can't stay." She said to him rubbing his head and messing up his hair. She was a foot shorter then him and possibly more but he still had her good looks.
"Yeah, yeah, I can handle it" he said his mother gave him a warm smile and a short good bye before leaving him.
Logan lightly sighed, Jean had told him to get used to Alex and to trust his daughter but he didn't like Chris and definitely didn't trust either of them.
