This chapter is a little longer than my last couple. I think I did pretty well with the Clockwork part, but I'm not sure I haven't seen the Ultimate Enemy in a while.

Dimension Crosser

Chapter 4

I landed the specter speeder and stumbled out of it. My legs gave out on me and I fell flat on my face.

"Owww..." I moaned as I literally crawled to the entrance if Clockwork's tower, cursing his name as I went. I know that he knows that I'm here and that he knows that I know that he is not helping me for a stupid reason. I get up on my knees to open the door before standing with the help of the walls inside. I limped into his main room and couldn't process where I was before Clockwork came floating up to me as an adult. He helped me over to a chair and sat me down.

I closed my eyes in relief at the break. I felt a tingling go over my chest and opened my eyes. Clockwork was working on my wounds. He took the stitches out before making the Y cut fuse back together. The Y was now just an angry red mark.

He then started working on my legs, which had apparently been broken and had healed quickly, but in the wrong way. I shuddered, but was glad I wasn't awake when that had happened. Clockwork snapped my legs again, breaking them. I felt tears come to my eyes, but I couldn't cry out, I didn't have enough strength to do so.

He set them the right way before helping them heal. I sighed in relief as the pain faded away. He moved to my arms and healed the parts where skin had been peeled away due to ectoplasmic burns, from unknown tortures and from ghost attacks. I looked down at my body and whimpered. I had scars, burns and many other injuries and ghosts of injuries splattered across what I could see of my body.

The only piece of clothing that remained on me was a pair of worn down jeans, which were covered in blood. My chest looked mangled and torn even though it was mostly healed. My head rolled back as I closed my eyes trying to rid myself of this mental image. My head was spinning and every part of my body was aching. I fell into unconsciousness... again.

"Daniel... Daniel..." I heard a voice saying. I opened my eyes groggily and was met with the sight of Clockwork as a baby. My head was throbbing as I sat up and I put my right hand up to meet my head. I felt that Clockwork had put clothes on me, which I was thankful for. I rubbed my sore temples before taking in my surroundings.

I was in a side room from Clockwork's main room. This room was decorated just like a traditional bedroom. I was laying on a ghostly green bed which had a ghostly green wooden bedside table with a ghostly green lamp on it. All in all it was all ghostly green. There was also a bookshelf, a dresser and a closet door, as well as an entrance door. Clockwork sat beside me in a chair that was you'll never guess what color: Ghostly green!

I laughed inwardly before questioning Clockwork.

"What now?"

"Well there are many options that you could take now, but what do you want?"

"I want a place that I will be accepted for having powers, so I won't be captured and dissected. I want somewhere away from my parents and the Guys in White. Maybe another dimension? Or whatever you think will have the best result for me, I guess."

Clockwork thought for a second before exiting the room. I waited as I heard him talking in the other room, probably to some old ghost, or maybe just to himself. I looked down at my new clothing. I had on a green long sleeved shirt and my jeans which had been cleaned of blood. I had on my regular tennis shoes, which had also been cleaned of blood. I laid my head against the wall and groaned at the pain I felt in my sore body. I let my eyes drift closed as I rested against the wall, which was surprisingly soft. I heard the door creak after a while of waiting there. I opened my eyes and turned my head slightly in the direction of the door.

I saw Clockwork enter as an old man. His beard trailed along with his spectral tail as he floated over to my bed.

"I think the best place for you would be in a different dimension at Charles Xavier's school," Clockwork said as he shifted into his child self.

"A school? Well, if it's what's best for me and there are no GIW or crazy ghost hunting and dissecting parents, then send me there," I said sitting up and looking Clockwork in the eye. He nods and then touches me on my chest with his staff.

The room around me faded and I was sent tumbling into a portal. This portal wasn't green like the ghost portal, though, it was multicolored, like a rainbow and really long. I saw a light at the end of it and watched as it grew bigger and bigger before it fully engulfed me.

The light faded and I hit the ground, which was covered in a soft grass. I heard a couple of people yelling at my sudden appearance. I looked around and saw that I was in the lawn of a huge mansion. I groaned. I had expected to be sent to an abandoned spot, not the lawn of a fricking mansion!

I rose to my knees and held my throbbing head as I made my way to my feet while mumbling to myself.

"Clockwork... I swear, if I get killed I'm blaming it on you," I mumbled and I could've sworn I heard Clockwork laugh. I narrowed my eyes. "I am totally serious. If I die again I will come back and kill you, Clockwork!"

I guess I said that a little louder than I meant to because the people surrounding me stopped walking towards me and gave me a weird look.

"Oh, um hi... I'm looking for..." I wracked my brain for what Clockwork had told me. "Charles Xavier's School."

A girl with dark hair with white streaks in front came up to me.

"This ays it," She said with a thick southern drawl while gesturing to the mansion. I smile at her, glad that someone had the guts to talk to the strange person that just appeared on the front lawn and yelled at nobody. "Do ya wan meh ta take ya ta Professa X?"

I nodded and followed her as she gestured towards the mansion and started walking. I hurried to catch up with her, 'cause she had started a bit in front of me. I rubbed the back of my neck trying to think of what to say to break the silence as we walked up the steps towards the glass doors of the mansion.

"So why air ya her'?" she said breaking the silence. I was glad I didn't have to think up something to say.

"Well, my guardian, I guess, thought it was the best place for me to be," I replied. She nodded and pushed open the door. I went inside and then held it as she came through.

"Ah wish my 'guardian' 'ad though' th' same thin', but no Ah 'ad ta find out th' hard way," She said back and then started mumbling. "Stupi' Mistique."

"I had to find a lot of things out the hard way, so you're not alone in that," I said smiling at her. She smiled back, which surprised me. We started walking up a huge staircase.

"Wha' di' ya have ta find out th' 'ard way?"

"How to fight, not to keep a secret, how hard it is to withstand tortures…. And a bunch of other stuff," I said. She stared at me wide eyed as we reached the end of the staircase.

"Tortcha?"

"Ya…" I said trailing off as I winced. She went silent and guided me through some hallways. I saw a few people along the way. One girl, a brunette with her hair in a ponytail, walked straight out of a wall and stopped when she saw me. I wave at her and she squeaked, I don't know whether in fright or happiness, before running back through the wall.

"Tha's Kitty," my escort said. "She is kinda a boy freak."

I nodded before realizing something.

"Oh my gosh," I said while face-palming myself. "I never introduced myself. I'm Danny." I held my hand out to her and she smiled.

"Ah'm Rogue," She said while taking my hand in her gloved one. She released it before she started walking again. "So wha's yer special power? Tha's why ya came her' righ'?"

"Um, ya, I guess. I don't really know why I was sent here but I do have powers. Cloc- I mean my guardian- thinks this is the safest place for me, and he didn't give me any details, just the name," I said.

"Well, firs' tell me yer pow'r and Ah'll tell you maen and the purpose of th' school," She said challengingly. I smirked.

"I have many powers; I don't think I even know the number. I'll give you some of my basic ones though. I have invisibility, intangibility, like Kitty, flying and I can shoot ectoplasmic blasts," I said. Her eyes grew wide as I went on. "Those, and the ability to change my appearance to one other, are the powers I started out with, but then after that I just kept gaining more and more. I have too much power for my own good." I shook my head. Rogue looked awed.

"Well I absorb oth'r people's powers thro' physical contact," she said. "Th's school ays fer mutants, people w'o 'ave unique pow'rs. Professor X set i' up and i' 'as sav'd manay people fr'm bein' test'd, hunt'd, or jus' usin' their powers for bad purposes. Well, her' weh aire." She stopped in front of large double doors. "Gewd luck."

She walked off as I knocked on the door.

I hope you enjoyed :) I am surprised at how much followers and reviews I got on this in the first couple of days. I have 11 followers, 3 favorites and 16 reviews and it has only been 3 days since I posted the first chapter. Thank you guys :)

I have a question to SonOfLucifer, Warlord, and The Virus: Who is Harem?

Question of the update: What should the main conflict include?
