Chapter 4: Mutant Crush
Over at a Texas State Fair, a monster truck rally is taking place. There are many monster trucks around as the announcer calls for it's star attraction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, give your hands up for our main star: Fred "The Blob" Dukes!" he announced.
Standing between the heavy monster trucks is a large, teenage boy with a blond mohawk, black eyes, white skin, and wears a white shoulder padded unitard as he grab some chains from the trucks. Once the trucks starts revving up, he pulls them to crash together while Fred jumps up to stand between the collided cars.
The crowd cheered for the boy, impressed by his strength. But then Fred trips and falls on the ground. The cheers change from gasps to laughter. Fred didn't like them laughing as he growled. One particular member of the crowd wasn't laughing as Principal Darkholme is seen watching with a smirk of her strength. However there are three others who aren't laughing.
Garfield, James, and Jean are there observing the boy. "Wow, this guy's strong." Garfield states.
"Garfield, his X-Gene is make him strong that crush anything with his bare hands." James said
"I feel bad for him of people just laughing at him just a trips." Jean said
"We need to talk to him to join us, but how we gonna get in the locker room?" Garfield asked
"Either you turn into a mice to get or James teleport cause I not gonna get in a boys locker room." Jean said
"Rock paper scissors, go!" Garfield said as James nodded
"1...2...3!" Garfield/James said as James wins the game.
"Great." Garfield muttering seeing James victory dance.
/
The three went through the hallway to go to Fred Duke's locker room, but then they hear a voice that James Howlett knew too well.
"Trust me, Mr. Dukes. I can give you an offer more than this back water town." spoke the woman as James spotted who she is as Fred closes the door.
"Principal Darkholme?" Garfield muttered as James walks out. "Yo, Logan 2, where are you going?"
"We're going back to the Blackbird." he said "The boy has no interests of us."
"What was that about?" Garfield asked.
"I don't know." Jean replied as they both follow their mentor.
The next day, Garfield is seen walking in class with Anna, who now goes by the name Rogue. The reason is that she wants to go by a name that fits her, so Rogue would be more fitting for her.
"So how did it go with this Fred fella?" Rogue asked Garfield as they enter in their drama class.
"Oh it was going great, but for some reason Principal Darkholme was there talking to Fred and Mr. Howlett told us to leave." Garfield replied with a sigh "It was really strange, but from what I hear Fred's now a student here in our school."
"Ain't that suspicious." Rogue said as they get to their seats. Rogue sits behind Garfield as Paul, a friend of Scott, asks the dirty blond.
"Hey Logan, you know where Scott is?" Paul asked.
"He's on sick day." Garfield replied. Though in truth the Professor has Scott to have him along with Ororo to find another mutant.
"Alright class, for this drama exercise you will be doing a scene with your partner. Since a few of you haven't chosen a partner I'll be pairing you all." the drama teacher told them as he pass down each of the students and telling them each of their roles "Garfield and...Rogue, you two will be doing the romantic scene from Romeo and Juliet. The kiss scene." he states causing the two to have their eyes widen.
"What!?" They both asked.
"Is there a problem?" the teacher asked.
"Um, there's no problem, sir." Garfield replied. 'Is this payback for that whoopee cushion prank last week, Mr. Belvedere?' he thought. He didn't mind the scene is just that he wondered if he had to kiss Rogue, which would lead to 1) knocking him out and 2) it's his first kiss and he has no experience with girls other than hanging out with Jean all the time.
"Maybe, but would you do it cause one I'm the teacher or you be out of school in a whole week!" The teacher shout
"You so gonna enjoy that don't you two." Paul said joked which he got smack in the face by Rouge.
"Shut it or I will!" Rouge said in angry
"Yes ma'am!" Paul said in fear
"Now class it's almost over, just do you want in your scene." The teacher said begin reading the book of Remo and Juliet

"So they're somewhere around here, in this neighborhood, Professor?" Cyclops asked as he and Storm in their uniform looks around for the two mutants, in New Jersey.
"Yes, Scott. Kory and Komi Andreas, two sisters who has the X-Gene that can shoot solar flares." Charles replied through the comlink.
"This neighborhood has very few populated areas." Storm states.
"Abandoned, this neighborhood is scheduled to be tear down for a much more better community." Cyclops replied as he looks around. He then noticed someone sitting on the steps of one of the houses.
It was a girl about his age. Long red hair, tanned skin, green eyes, and a slim figure. She wears a purple top that shows her midriff, black short-shorts, and sandals.
"Is that her?" Cyclops asked pointing at the girl. She noticed him and gasp, as she ran down to the house inside. "Hey, wait!"
/
At the cafeteria, Garfield and Rogue were giving an awkward atmosphere as they sit at their table along with Jean, Kitty, and Kurt. The three looked at the two in confusion, as Jean spoke up.
"So what's the deal with you two?" Jean asked.
"We...in a play." Garfield said
" It just a play, what is it big deal?" Kurt asked which make those two turn red.
"In...the final scene of...Romeo and Juliet... Me and Garfield have to...kiss." Rouge said makes both girls shocked.
"WHAT!?" Kitty/Jean shouted
"Me and Garfield have to kiss in the final scene of Romeo and Juliet. You two okay?" Rouge asked of seeing the mutant girls.
"What's zhe big deal about it?" Kurt asked.
"It'll be my first kiss." Garfield replied.
"You've never kissed a girl before?" Kurt asked in shock, only to be nudged by Jean. "Hey!"
"You two are really, like gonna kiss?" Kitty asked nervously.
"It's not like we'll be dating after that. I mean, it's just a play, right Rogue?" Garfield asked the stripe haired goth.
"Yeah, sure." Rogue said as she couldn't help but feel killing intent somewhere on the table. Then she saw Fred Dukes coming out of the cafeteria with a tray full of food "So is that Fred Dukes guy?"
"Yeah, that's him." Garfield replied.
"Wow, he's so like, big." Kitty comments as she saw him heading down to the table where Lance and Tolanski is.
"Well I met him earlier and he seems nice." Jean replied. "I hope that we may convince him to join the Institute."
"Yeah, that'll be..." Garfield didn't finish as they hear a thud. Some guy, Duncan Matthews, thought it would be funny if he trips Fred to have his food splattered on the floor. "That can't be good." he said as everyone except Garfield and his friends laughs at Fred, which made him angry.
Eventually Lance picks up the cheeseburger Fred dropped and threw it at Duncan, and eventually someone shouted "Food Fight!" as everyone starts to throw their food at everyone.
"Well that's surprised, start a Food Fight in the this hour!" Garfield said Jean pull him down under the table.
Garfield and his friends are under the table so they won't get hit by foods. They see Fred going out the cafeteria and go outside. So the X-Men crawl to each tables until they finally reached the exit.
/
Fred was about to walked away from school, until he stop by Garfield
"Fred wait!" Garfield shouted
"Just leave me alone." Fred said keep walking
"We just want to have a talk that's all." Garfield said grabbed his shoulder.
Suddenly Fred grabbed Garfield by the throat, begin to lifted him in the air,much the everyone shocked.
"I said...LEAVE ME ALONE!" Fred said just punches Garfield in the chest.
Garfield send flying to the school's wall, make a big crack while Garfield fall down on the ground.
"Garfield!" his friends walk to his aid as Kurt and Kitty help him up.
"So much for aid." Garfield grumbled.
"Maybe, I should talk to him. You know, give him a more friendly approach." Jean said.
"You sure, Jean? I have your back when something happens." Garfield replied.
"I'll be fine, but thanks." Jean said as she walks towards Fred to talk to him.
"I don't know about this." Rogue states as she cross her arms.
/
Meanwhile in New Jersey, Cyclops and Storm followed the girl in the run down apartment. They have noticed some scorch marks all over as they both sneak in.
"Geez, so much mold around here." Cyclops whispered as they hear yelling, then something crash down on the floor above them.
"Upstairs, go." Storm said as they rush up the stairs as they hear arguing.
"Useless sister!" shout another girl as the two X-Men stop. "I can't believe that you got yourself spotted, Kori!"
"I'm sorry, Komi." the girl, Kori, looks at her older sister while rubbing her cheek. The girl with long black hair, tanned skin, purple eyes, and wears a black crop top, short skirt and black boots stares at Kori with a glare.
"Do you want people to take us away? Do you want to be separated?" Komi growled as she grabs Kori by the arm as her hand heated up, making Kori wince in pain. "DO YOU!?"
"Hey! Leave her alone, she don't know we looking at her!" Scott said ready to fired her, but Storm held up her arm to stop him.
"And who are you two, trying to kill us!" Komi said in angry
"We are the X-men, and we here to make both of you a choice." Storm said
"Wh.. What kind of choice?" Kori asked rubbing her arm.
"To have a better life, become a X-men to protect your people and humanity." Storm said
"Really a better life than this?" Kori asked with hope
"Yes, how about you two want a better home." Storm said
"Yes, please sister please!" Kori begged hold Komi's arm
"Okay fine, and don't try to betray us least is be better than this dump." Komi said

Fred was all alone as he was sitting underneath the bleachers. He was upset about what happened at lunch and he was still angry until he saw Jean confront him.
"Fred, are you alright?" Jean asked him in concern.
"What do you want?" Fred asked her.
"Look, I'm for what happened at lunch today, Duncan can be such a pigheaded j***." Jean said sitting beside Fred. "You can't let others get to you like that."
"Yeah, well whenever the others laugh at me, I just snapped." Fred states rubbing his temple.
"I know how you feel, but you need to control yourself, Fred." Jean told him "You could get training."
"Really? Yeah, right." Fred snorted.
"Watch this." Jean demonstrates as she lifts up a thrown can on the sidewalk as she levitates it towards a trash can. Fred was astonished by what Jean can do.
"Whoa, you can do anything you want with that power." Fred states.
"No Fred, what you need to do is to learn how to control your powers to use them for good." she states "I'm from the Xavier Institute for the Gifted, and there you can learn how to control your powers for the better." suddenly she hears honking at the street as she saw Garfield driving his car along with Kurt, Kitty, and Rogue.
"Hey Jean, you need a ride?" Garfield asked.
"Coming!" she replied as she walks towards the car after saying to Fred. "Think about it, alright?" she said as she head to the car, not noticing the picture she dropped.
Fred picks up the picture and frowns, it was a picture of Jean and Garfield which makes him jealous.
/
They go back to the mansion, walked inside and see the professor, Ororo, Scott, and two new girls.
"It's good to see you all here, welcome the new people. Komi and Kori Anders." Xavier said introduce them
"Hello new friends, it's good to see you all!" Kori said
Komi got locked on Garfield, now she has a smirk. 'Well hot can't dame, he's hot!'
"It's nice to meet you two." Jean said as she noticed the look Komi is giving towards Garfield and did not like that look. "I'm sure Scott and Ms. Munroe can show you girls around."
"Wonderful! Come Friend Scott, show me around the Institute!" Kori said as she pulls Scott around the house.
"Why don't you show me around, cutie?" Komi asked as she looks at Garfield.
"Sorry, but he's doing homework with me." Rogue grabs Garfield and pulls him to upstairs to his room. "We got rehearse this play!"
"Oh um, okay." Garfield said as they both blushed.
"Wonder what that was about? Don't tell me he's taken already." Komi asked.
"Oh, he's still single." Kurt said which makes Komi smirk.
"Good." Komi said as she heads down upstairs to find her room. Kitty and Jean only send Kurt their glares.
"Vhat?" He asked them, not realizing that he just keeps feeding the fire.
"Man, how do people talk like this?" Rogue asked while reading her lines.
"I know, right?" Garfield replied "Let's just go over our lines already."
"Oh Romeo, why we have to be in different sides. How we be in this far from our family, what we do?" Rouge asked pretend to be Juliet
"We be far from there, start a new life in a peaceful town of respectful people. Start a new family of no hatred or anger, that's our dream together." Garfield said pretend to be Romeo
"But what of our fathers to search for us? What will they do if they caught us thy?"
"Then we shall..." Garfield was reading the part where they have to kiss as he gulps "We shall hide from them." he said as he looks at Rose in the eyes as Rogue did the same with his eyes. The two were starring for a while until the door opens.
"Garfield, I'm wondering if you want to go hit the arca-" Kurt stopped when he saw Garfield and Rogue up close together up close. "Sorry, my bad." he said as he close the door.
"..."
"So you want to continue?" Garfield asked.
"Actually, I'm kind of hungry right now." Rogue replied as the two agreed to get some snacks from the kitchen.
The next day at school seems going well as everyone was going home after school. Garfield and Rogue just head out from the auditorium from practice for the week as they're heading down to the car.
"So when's Kori and Komi getting registered for school?" Rogue asked.
"Tomorrow. As of now it's training day so Komi, Kori, Scott, Kitty, and Kurt are at the Institute training. Wonder where Jean went?" Garfield replied as he suddenly felt the Professor's voice in his head.
'Garfield, Jean's in trouble!' Charles informs him as Garfield stopped.
Garfield froze after hearing this, as he listens to the details as he turn to Rogue "Jean's in trouble."
"What? How do you know?" she asked.
"The professor just contacted me. Tim to suit up!" Garfield said as he and Rogue head down to the car.
At the Institute Garfield now suit up as Morphias rush inside the Cerebro room along with Rogue, who's suit up in a navy blue bodysuit with a metal green bust plate, two X-shoulder guards, her brown gloves, X-belt, and black knee guarded boots as they met up with Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Cyclops, and the two Andreas sisters.
"Where's Jean?" Garfield asked.
"It appears that she has been captured by The Blob. She's somewhere around this area." Charles said pointing at the map to where Jean is "It is up to you X-Men to find Jean."
"Why not us, Professor?" Komi demands.
"I'm sorry, Komi. You and your sister aren't ready for the outfield without your training." Charles states.
"We understand, professor." Kori said understandably, however Komi thinks the opposite.
"Come on, X-Men, we're going to find Jean!" Morphias said as he, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Cyclops head out to find Jean and Blob.
/
The area near the mountains, we see Jean all tie up and down to the ground. And the other is a big guy, wear a ripped brown jacket with black shirt underneath, has on blue jeans, and black boots. This is Fred aka Blob the strongest.
"Just let me go! We just friends Fred." Jean said keep struggling
"I want to be more than that, just give me a chance." Blob said held up flowers
"Let her go!" Said a familiar voice
POW! Blob got hit in the face, make him fly to the ground hard. The one who punch him is Morphias, as the rest of them came in.
"Let her go, Blob." Morphias orders as Blob glares at him and the X-Men.
You..." Blob grips his fist as he charge at Morphias to deliver a punch. Suddenly Nightcrawler was on his back covering his eyes. "Hey!"
"Can't see!" Nightcrawler said as he felt Blob's large hand and throws him away. Lucky for Nightcrawler he teleported out of there. Blob opens his eyes to see Shadowcat and Wolverine cutting the rope for Jean.
"Grr, so much of being my friend!" Blob shouts as Morphias, Rogue, and Cyclops blocks his way as Cyclops blasts Blob with his optic blast to back him away.
"Rogue, absorb his strength." Morphias said as he transform into a gorilla. "That way, he'll be weaken."
"Ahright, but if I act like food for brains, Ah'm blaming you." Rogue states as she ran towards and went behind Fred. She took her glove off to contact his skin, as she absorbs a bit of his strength as Blob grunts. Rogue delivers a kick on his back, causing the Blob to fall far as the gorilla charges in to deliver a punch to the face.
Blob was now crash down in the ground, and leaving a big hole. "Uhh..."
"That's what happens if you mess with our friends!" Morphias said transform back to human.
"Man that's one heck of a teamwork." Kurt said as others nodded in shocked.
"Alright everyone lets go home." Morphias said as they leave.
"You pay for this Logan." Blob said in anger

Komi was just finished unpacking as she's in her room that she's rooming with Kori. Suddenly the window opens as she felt a breeze, as she looks and saw a crow standing on the window as it flew back.
"What was that about?" Komi asked as she noticed a letter dropped on the floor "Hmm, what do we have here?" she said as she picks up the letter and reads it.
'They won't give you what you truly desire, but we see opportunity for you.'
"Interesting." Komi said as she spotted the crow changing back into a certain blue woman at the forest.
/
Looks like the Fire Girls join the club for mutants! Wonder what's gonna happen to Blob? Why Komi acting more...fiercely? And with the crow? Tune in next time! Sign out!
