"Join me Blood, join me as your grandfather did and become stronger then ever before. Take over this world with me Blood." Magneto said to the powerful boy.
The backyard of the Californian mansion was full of people for the funeral of the recent death of the woman who lived there. Not very many people were there to actually morn her death just to talk to the other businessmen and hopefully get the chance of their careers.
The young twelve year old wore a black and red suit, his short brown hair was neatly combed back but his bangs still fell in front of his eyes as he looked up at the older man, who wore a similar suit. He couldn't be blamed for the frown across his face since it was his mother who had died. She was more then his mother, and had wanted to cry for her death but had also been beaten and yelled at not to.
He had meet Magneto many times in his lifetime. His mother introduced him to him when he was only three when his powers had already shown and caused pain to others for years. He didn't know it but anyone who wanted mutant power wanted him. A weak young boy who could kill anyone he wanted to was just what anyone wanted.
His eyes darkened "my grandfather wanted to take over the world but need you and Charles to help him. But you two were both scared of his power and left him to die, then you both went after my mother. Charles gave up and understood her reasons for not joining him in helping mutants while you scared her into keeping you alive for the next thirty years. And now you want me to help you stay alive." He paused while Eric gave him a cold look.
"I don't trust you and definitely not going to help you" he finished quietly. "You probably know by now that it only takes one piece of metal to kill someone" "and who are you going to kill? Me? Fine, kill me. My family? Like I care about them." He smiled "kill everyone here and I wouldn't give a damn."
"Your father will find out one day young Blood, and when that happens a murder will be blamed on you." He said before walking away from him as a bald man in a wheel chair approached him followed by a red headed girl his age. The bald man had found the young boy's choice of words to be that of someone strong, someone who wasn't going to give up.
The boy definitely had his father's natural gift of putting power in his words and to appear strong even when hes completely weak. His mother didn't have ether of those skills, she was weak because she had a bad start in life from the beginning, she was always strong but never tried or wanted to be. He had his mother's want to die and also her smile when it showed, along with her blood red hair and matching eyes that were changed to a normal color.
"I'm sorry for your lost Jason, your mother was a very gifted person." The bald man said before the young boy turned to face him. A smile appeared for a moment on his face before his smile dropped. "Hello Mr. Xavier, if you're here to get me to join you in some crazy take over the world thing then don't look at me" he said, guessing that was why he was talking to him and the young red head to lightly laugh.
"Jason, I'd like you to meet one of my students. Jean Grey," he looked at the girl and she lightly smiled to him "Jean, this is Jason Manning." "Hi" she said to him "yeah, hi" he said back to her.
"I would like you to join Jean and my other students at my school, your mother was going to teach at the school at some time. You wouldn't become a danger to the students and you wouldn't be a danger to the people around you." He leaned close to him "you don't have to change your hair color ether." He said, remembering what his mother had said about him not likely to wear contracts or get his hair dyed.
He looked at them, knowing that he couldn't go. And Jean being allowed to use her powers figured she should say something to get him to come. "Its a lot of fun, there are a lot of mutants there like us. And all the teachers there are funny unlike the teachers at most schools."
"Jason" his father yelled to him, thinking that the young boy might say something about the beating he took last night or something that he shouldn't say. "Maybe I will but my dad wants me here for a while with my brother and sister" he smiled. "Bye Mr. Xavier, bye Jean" he said before running over to his father.
"Professor, do you think that Jason is going to come to the school?" She asked looking at him. "I have a feeling he will." He answered as he watched the young boy talk to his father.
"So who's there? Like what powers do they have?" Jason asked as he buckled his seatbelt in the back seat of the car after a flight on Xavier's private jet with Jean and Logan.
"Theres Kevin and he can Morph into anyone, Calvin who can Mimic anyone's powers, Cecilia, she can make like a force field around herself, Scott makes blasts come out of his eyes, then theres Tessa and shes a telepathic like professor Xavier and me. Ororo has like storm powers, John and Mr. Henry are super strong, Theresa is like her dad and has a sonic scream and flight, Alli can make sound light."
"Wow, do they all go to school there?"
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure everyone goes to school or at least lives there."
"Hey you two, we're at the school." Logan said looking back at them.
Jason looked out the window as he saw the students mostly just playing around on a nice day. A teen aged boy with four arms threw a baseball at another teenager who changed into a baseball player and threw the ball back. While a pair of girls danced to some music and a few students were using their powers to have some fun.
"Why is everyone acting like nothing is wrong? And just doing what they want to do?"
"Because nothing is wrong, we're safe here."
"Its not safe anywhere, we'll be attacked no matter where we are." He said quietly looking out the window.
"You're safe here Jason, everyone is. Otherwise we wouldn't be here" Jean said softly to him, knowing he was scared.
"Listen kid, if it ain't safe here then where is it?" Logan asked him. "I don't know, but theres gotta be somewhere safer."
"Well there might be but till then, you might as well hang here" he said parking the car in the garage.
He got the boy's bag out of the car's trunk as a few students came over to meet the new student. A student came up to him from behind and picked him up.
"So I guess he's the new student" he said holding Jason in the air by shirt. "Jean" Jason said scared "don't be scared kid" he said setting him on his shoulder. "Micheal won't hurt you, or he'd get in trouble if he did" Jean lightly laughed as Jason held onto his head, afraid.
Jason slowly let go of his head, still scared but not as much before Micheal set him back down on the ground.
Micheal was large muscled teenager, his red shirt was made with four sleeves for each of his arms as his black hair was under a baseball cap. He stuck out his hand "I'm Micheal, also known as Forearm, welcome to the Institute" he lightly smiled and Micheal's hand moved up and down "I'm Jason, also known as Blood."
"So do you have telekinesis kind of powers? And I'm Tessa by the way" a young girl with orange hair and blue eyes said.
"No, I can control the blood and body of any human" he said putting his hands in his pockets.
Scott walked outside with Charles, the young Scott was glad to see that Jean was back. "Scott, could you show Jason to his new room" professor Xavier asked him.
"Sure professor" he said before Jason grabbed his backpack and followed him, followed by Jean. "Told you it'd be fun here" Jean said to him as she noticed he was smiling.
"Now Jason, focus on Logan." Charles said as Jason worked on controlling his powers with Logan as his target. They were outside away from everyone at the school for a private lesson.
He stretched out his arm, opening his hand towards Logan as he fell to the ground behind him. "Good job" Charles said to him as he looked at the unconscious Logan "now wake him up."
His eyes closed as he tried to wake up Logan. When his eyes opened Logan let out a scream as he quickly woke up. "Gees kid, tryin' to kill me?"
"I didn't mean to" he said, innocently. He pat him hard on the back nearly knocking him to the ground "its okay kid. I got a healin' factor for a reason."
"Jason, why don't you get back to class" Charles said to him "okay, sorry" he said before running back inside. Logan fell to the ground, gripping his shirt in pain.
"Logan? He asked him, seeing that he was in more pain then he had ever seen anyone in. "Maybe he was tryin' to kill me" Logan said, standing up. "I was afraid of this."
"Afraid of what?"
"Jason's mother once told me that she had to steal other's life force in order to stay alive, because her own powers were taking away her life force in order to use her powers."
Current Time:: 5:31 pm, The Xavier Institute's Danger Room
"Jason" Ava said quietly into the headset. Her body ached in pain from a blast a few seconds earlier. She fell to the ground when she saw the blast coming her way "Scott! Stop it!" she yelled hoping Scott was kind enough to help her.
She stood up and ran stopping to duck at a blast, "Jason" she ran forward and hugged him. "Jason, Scott's blasting anything that moves, you gotta stop him."
"It's not Scott," he said watching the blast shoot out towards someone away from them. "Then who is?"
"Well, its ether someone who isn't alive or a robot" he said pulling her down to the ground with him. "That'd be really cool if it wasn't shooting at us" she looked up. "Can you find anyone?"
She looked around as a beam shot towards someone "Shaw is to the Southeast, Kitty is heading to the safe zone, and Tonio is getting shot at."
"Tonio drop to the ground, now!" Someone yelled before Tonio dropped to the ground.
"Jean" the person yelled after a red blast hit the robot and the robot smashed into the ground.
Tonio stood up and pulled off his mask, the area smoke becoming clearer air. Ava had her arms around Jason, half scared. He slowly sat up and noticed her pain as she sat up "hold up" he stopped her, slowly healing her.
He looked at Scott surprised "wow, what are you guys doing here?"
"Savin' y'all what else?" Rogue said pulling Ava up as Jason stood up. "Thanks" Ava said "but we might as well end this already." Tonio said turning the air into knock out gas.
Rogue, Scott and Jean fell to the ground as Shaw laid face first in the ground. Before she fell to the ground Jason catch her and held her in his arms.
"We got Scott, Jean, Rogue, Shaw, and May. We won man" Tonio said checking that Scott and Jean were asleep.
"Yeah you guys won," Hank said switching the room back to normal. "Now wake them up" He said to them before Logan watched him as he snapped his fingers and the four of them woke up.
"We lost" Rogue said getting up. Scott stood then helped Jean up with a smile.
"You guys didn't lose really, we just got lucky." Tonio said heading off towards the locker room as he dragged, the still asleep Shaw behind him.
"Did we win?" Ava asked, half asleep as Jason set her down "yup." May kicked Jason in the back "you jerk! You cheated" she said, not very happy about her secret being known.
"You're the one who got cursed" Jason said with a smirk as he left with Ava. "Cursed?" Scott asked confused by the word he heard in books and fairy tells.
"I dated this mutant with the power to curse people and I lied to him a few times so he made me tell the truth all the time to anyone" she said covering her mouth. "Nice goin' kid" Rogue said leaving with Kitty and Kurt for the locker rooms.
Jason ran a hand though his wet hair, leaning against the railing to the balcony in his room. The cold November air felt nice during the night. He could see Shaw chasing a rabbit though the woods, his movements were quick but quiet. After Xavier had told him not to kill anymore animals he would just chase them around. Following the rabbit to their holes then chasing after a snake or a lizard.
"Hey," Ava said from the doorway before walking over to him. "Hey, how are you?" he asked not looking back at her. She knew him too well that when he was alone, he didn't want to be.
She wrapped her arms loosely around his chest as she lightly rested her head next to his and could see Shaw chasing the rabbit.
Though she'd never tell him, he was starting to become his father. She knew he didn't want to be cold, that he wanted everyone to get along, that was why he didn't spend time with his father or his siblings. They all had the life they wanted but he never could or at least thats what he thought.
"Why do you do this to yourself?" She asked him, looking at the blank expression across his face. She her back against the railing then put her hands on his and softly smiled at him.
He barely smiled and looked at her "you should smile more." He playfully stick his tongue out "too bad." "Why not? You have a cute smile."
"Don't you have a test to study for or something?"
"I'm from Germany, I can pass an American German test." She said with a thick German voice "yeah, I shouldn't have placed y' in that advanced placement German class."
She smiled at him "so think you'll be opening your school by next year?"
"Theres a high chance. A few students or teachers might go there since their families live closer there then here." He looked at her "are you going to go back to Germany at some point?"
"Not a chance, I made the newspapers there as "the girl who caused her father's heart attack" I'll go back there as soon as Hack graduates from college." She said before they both watched Hack run straight into a tree. "Dammit!" He yelled for a moment as he rubbed the spot that had hit the tree trunk.
