I know this may seem like a classic Rogue-finds-touchable-love, but this is really to just introduce the character of Sean. It's like a set up, to explain him so I don't waste time in Wushu Who. Sorry if this seems like an overdone story.

And here is chapter two! Lets keep it going!

Immune

Sean had made his way easily out of the neighborhood and was walking along the street, just enjoying the surroundings. It was really a great town and community, a big change from the massive world of LA. He liked the big city and all of its flashy attractions but he was also happy for the change of a slower pace. At heart, Sean really didn't feel that he fit into that aggressive style of living since he liked to be the pacifist.

This little town of Bayville just seemed to be a little more relaxed and well adjusted for his feelings and mood. He didn't have to worry about mugging like others worried about stepping in mud. It was just a calming place for him or at least as far as he had seen so far; this was his first day after all.

As he continued walking, he glanced over as a SUV drove by him and watched as it slowly stopped. Maybe it was some other kids that would be nice enough to give him a lift to the main part of town and even help show him around. He jogged a little to catch up to where the car had stopped.

And then she poked her head out the window.

He wasn't really sure what it was about her really grabbed his attention first but he could have gathered a guess that it just could have been everything about her. Maybe it was the two bangs that bracketed her face, with the rest of her hair a warm rusty-brown tone with its short wavy appearance. Maybe it was the it light indigo shade of lipstick she wore across her lips, matching the equally light shade of purple that shadowed her eyes. It could have been that gentle smile that matched her warm brown eyes, the wild catching her hair just right. Or maybe it was that soft and friendly Southern tone, either Mississippi or Missouri, which she spoke with.

"Hey sugar, you look like you're lost. Ya want a lift into town?" She offered politely as he approached the driver's window.

Whatever it was about this girl, Sean just fond her to be extremely inviting and attractive in ways that made hi body shiver in anticipation. Bayville was really beginning to better and better as the minutes passed.

"Who am I to turn down an offer from a pretty lady like you?" Sean politely flirted with a smile. "Is it far from where you're going? I don't want to hold up too much of your time,…"

He realized that he neglected to ask for her name but it must have showed because she extended a gloved hand and her smile grew.
"Ma name is Rogue, sugar."

"I'm Sean." He added as he shook her hand. "Sean Farris."

"Well, Sean, it's really not a problem. I'm heading in that way myself and I'm making good time." She assured him and reached over to the other side and opened the passenger door. "Come on, hop in."

Sean smiled brightly, making a quick trip around the vehicle and slipped in. He clicked his seatbelt in place and closed the door. As she drove off, Sean took a casual glance at her to see the rest of her appearance. She wore a black tank top with a purple scarf wrapped around her neck and gloves that nearly covered her entire arm and she matched this with a black skirt, her legs just seen going down into long black boots.

This Rogue was a tough girl but also nice if she was willing to give him a lift, his gaze going back to the road. He scanned the road signs as she took a turn and then looked across the other road, making Rogue chuckle at him. The new kid blushed lightly and glanced at her.

"Kind of obvious I'm a new kid here, huh?" He asked rhetorically.

"Just a little bit, sugar. Besides looking like a tourist and wandering around the suburbs where the old people hang out, you almost blend right in." She teased him lightly and he had to laugh at her words.

"I guess there is some good in that then."

"I guess. So where ya from?"

"Um, Las Vegas, Nevada."

"Really? Wow, that's cool." Rogue then gave him a curious, almost suspicious look. "Why'd ya come to boring ole' Bayville?"

"My mom got a offer to be a student consoler to some schools around here and she kind of wanted to get away from the big city life." Sean explained, shrugging as he looked at the people they passed by. "I actually like the change of pace, it's relaxing."

"Hmm, I guess."

Sean watched a jeep roared past them and several of the boys made catcalls at Rogue and Sean before speeding off, the out-of-towner confused by it but brushed it off. Rogue might be a popular girl, given her looks.

"Is that normal?" He asked, nodding to the Jeep.

"Honey, you have no idea."

"How about you? You born here or did you move?"

"Oh I moved, used to be in Mississippi before I got accepted at Xavier's." Rogue explained on her life story, the name of the school ringing a faint bell.

"Xavier's? The School for Special Students, right?" He asked as he looked at her nod and shrugged. "Some old guy from there requested my mom to work there."

"Really? What for?" Rogue asked, Sean awkwardly looking out the window.

"She, uh, has experience working with special needs students. Kind of, like a, specialty of hers, ya know."

"Fair enough."

Slowly, the SUV came to a stop near what looked like a teenager hangout and the two of them climbed out. Sean couldn't help but notice that the same Jeep that had overtaken them before was also parked there. He paid it little mind, since he wasn't involved with anything that went on it this town and it really wasn't any of his business.

As he stood at the front of the car, he could feel the eyes of a lot of people glancing at him and it was making him feel very uncomfortable. Considering some of the things that had happened in his old high school, Sean thought he was used to getting odd looks but this just proved he wasn't. It was slightly unnerving for the new kid and Rogue must have picked up on this.

"Hey, why don't you come meet some friends of mine?" Rogue offered, taking a hold of his arm. "Come on, their a fun bunch of people."

Sean shrugged and allowed himself to be pulled by the sexy Goth girl. As he was lead through the crowds, he could vague make out which group of kids she was taking him too.

The first kid that really picked up on his radar was the one wearing red sunglasses, sitting on the table top. Tall and slender, the guys just screamed that he was a captain of something. Probably the basketball team given his height, but he was also kind of broad across the chest. His face was slightly harder to read that others because of the glasses but Sean got the distinct feeling he was being sized up.

The next one was sitting near him, his blue hair sticking out in the crowd. He was shorter and he seemed to be a more up beat person. He was doing some kind of dance in his seat and when he spotted Rogue, he gave her a wave. The small girl sitting next to him look mildly annoyed at this blue haired boy but she seemed to perk up when she saw the girl that was leading Sean to them.

Lastly, a bright red haired girl turned around smiled at the two of them. And for some unknown reason, Sean felt a slight chill tickled across his back. Maybe it was the way this red head looked between the two of them but it was a little unsettling.

"Hey guys, this here is Sean. He just moved here from LA and he's kind of new to this place." Rogue politely introduced, answering Sean's prayers of sparing them the awkwardness.

"Nice to meet you, Sean. My name is Scott." The guy with the red shades said, Sean shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you."

"Same here. The red haired lady before you is Jean, this kid next to me is Kurt and last but no least, is Kitty." Scott introduced, Sean nodding to each person respectively.

"Like, are you really from LA?" The girl, who Scott introduced as Kitty, asked.

"Yeah, moved there when I was five and we only just moved." Sean said as he took the empty seat next to Jean and Rogue took the seat next to him. "Nice place but a little too flashy for me sometimes."

"Ja, it seems a crazy but it must also be really wild to live there." Kurt said and Sean perked his head up.

"Oh wow, you're German? So cool." Sean complimented and the teenager beamed, leaning forward.

"Ja, I was born there and I just came here about three years ago. You're familiar with Germany?"

"I have family there. My family and I normal go to Berlin to visit them every other year." Sean explained.

"So you can speak German?"

"Genug, um durch die auf." Sean said with a mischievous wink.

"Nicht schlecht, aber der Akzent ..." Kurt retorted and Sean had to laugh.

"Yeah, I know. My Gran always complains about that." Sean said as he scratched his head. "But I only go there once every two years, so it's not that bad."

"So what brings you here, Sean? Did you get transferred or…" Jean, the red head, asked him.

"Ah, my mom got a better job offer here in this schooling district. She's a student consoler, specializing in emotional trauma and career advice. And I think this is the first time she has ever gotten to work at three different schools, plus a private school." Sean explained, quite proud of his mother's achievement.

"Oh cool, that's pretty awesome." Kitty exclaimed, Rogue nodding next to him.

"Do you know where she's goanna be teaching?" Scott asked.

"Yeah, ones Bayville High, the other is Cedar Ridge High and then there's a place for the gifted children, Xavier's." As he listed the names, Sean caught a group of kids that looked less than pleasant toward the people he just met and so he missed the looks they all shared. "Its kind of cool, her helping them out like that."

"Yeah, really nice of her." Kurt chimed, his eyes frantically looking the others.

"Hey, would one of you guys mind showing me where I could get a drink?" Sean asked curiously.

"Sure, I-"

"Yeah, Sean! Like, come this way." Kitty jumped up with her words, completely running over poor Rogue's words.

"Um, cool. Thanks Kitty." He answered hesitantly, standing to follow.

Scott watched the new kid Sean left them and then they all shared a serious look, Scott sitting down next to Kurt.

"So he's Dr. Farris's son. He seems normal enough." Scott said, folding his hands. "I wonder how he's going to react to us being mutants?"

"Who knows, Scott? I can't even tell you if he was telling you the truth because I couldn't read any of his thoughts." Jean revealed, Rogue doing a double take.

"Ya mean cute stuff there is a blank to you?" Rogue asked, in disbelief. "Does that make him a psychic too?"

"No, I don't think so. Psychics can shield themselves but that gives off an energy signal and he seems to have no mental readings whatsoever."

"But what does that mean?" Kurt asked, his eyes showing his confusion.

"It means he's naturally shielded against my level of psychics or that he should be clinically brain dead."

"Well, the Professor did say that Sean had a special condition, but I wonder if he meant that Sean was…..well, was like us?"

"Ah, Dr. Farris, how lovely it is to see you again." Hank McCoy, largely known as the blue furred Beast, greeted warmly with a hug.

"Its good to see your bright smile again, Dr. McCoy." Dr. Marianne Farris said as she returned the hug. "I hope that you're keeping well; I do remember you shed a lot this time of year."

"And you're one not to forget some of my more embarrassing moments." Hank said with a chuckle and they slowly began to walk up the stairs.

The house was much warmer than Marianne had expected, a rather welcoming place. She guessed it had to with the fact that Xavier would be more than aware of what people would think of when they come into his school. Marianne had seen some rather unpleasant schools that matched themselves in mood and in appearance, not something she wanted to see again.

She had spent nearly twenty seven years teaching and serving as a student consoler, seeing many shades of gray within the school system. She knew about the bullied and how people tried to keep it quiet, she knew about children with special talents that were ignored, she knew how mutants were treated in public and private schooling systems.

Marianne would pause and look at a photo or a painting adorning the walls or the surfaces within the mansions, taking in what memories where in the images. Beast would enlighten her with tales and accounts of what had been happening at the time, giving her reasons to the students actions. As they continued walking, they eventually came to the study of Charles Xavier.

"Ah, Dr. Farris, how lovely it is to meet you in person. I trust that your trip up here was peaceful?" Xavier asked politely as they entered the room, the kind old man extending his hand to her.

He had always been in a wheel chair but that never stopped him from feeling as though he was six feet taller than Marianne's son. His eyes just seemed to convey the power that his mind held with out strain, their blue spheres like an ocean. Calm one moment, enraged another.

"It was a long drive but me and Sean made the best of it." Marianne assured him as she and Hank sat. "I hope you are keeping well too."

"But of course, Marianne. Now, Sean is the older boy or the younger one?" He asked kindly, trying to get to know her.

"He is older than Francesca but he and Davis are twins. Nearly identical twins…" She answered softly.

"Really? Even down to…"

"Oh no, they may be similar, but their mutant powers are drastically different." Marianne assured Xavier, her green eyes nearly burning. "It's as different as their personalities."

Sean was having a great time. Kitty had been a great person to chat with and catch up on all that had happened in Bayville while he managed to get a drink, a surprising feat but possible with how fast she talked.

And now they were making their way back to where the group was sitting. Sean had never found it so easy or comfortable to talk to people like this before. It was like one of them had been reading his mind and they were just able to click together. Sort of like what was happening right now.

"Oh, so Kurt is dating a girl named Amanda, whose parents don't like him because he's German?" Sean double checked and Kitty gave him a smile with the roll of her eyes.

"Yeah, that's the quick and dirty of the whole." She confirmed, smiling as a boy approached them. "Hey Lance!"

Sean perked up at the mentioning of a new name and took in this guys appearance, with little difficulty. He was just screaming to be a rebel without a cause, his long hair that draped from his head and the torn clothes with gloves were not exactly screaming role model.

"Hey Kitty, how are you today?" He asked giving her a kiss to her brow and then looking at Sean. "Whose your new friend?"

"Jealous much, Lance?" She teased before gesturing to Sean with a smile. "Lance, this is Lance. Lance, this Sean; he moved here today."

"Most people around here call me Avalanche." Lance answered with smug smile.

"You're the boyfriend I take it?" Sean asked well naturedly as he shook Lance's hand. "Nice to meet you Lance."

"He'd like to think he's my boyfriend at times…" Kitty muttered before breezing past them.

"Ouch. Hey, sorry if I got you in trouble, man." Sean said with his hands raised.
"Nah, we're kind of on and off?" Lance assured him, patting him on the back. "So are you at the X-Mansion or at a different school."

"Don't know yet, mom has all the plans for that kind of thing." Sean said as they walked back to where Sean had been sitting. "I kind of-"

"What you goanna say about it, X-Geek?"

"Watch what your mouth, Meltdown!"

Sean looked over to see Scott glaring at a boy with bright red hair….and yellow eyes. Not just the retina were yellow but his entire eye socket was made of the stuff. His white shirt and gray jacket were nearly vibrating with his powers and winds seemed to rushing out of legs of his pants.

Sean had no idea what was up but he knew that that this was the last place that a fight between a mutant and a human should happen. So as they began to shove each other back and forth, Sean made his way between them. One hand on each chest kept them from escalating anymore and his legs also slipped into a deeply rooted stance.

"Alright! Cool both your heads, alright?" Sean said firmly, looking between the two of them. "This is the last place this needs to happen."

"Who the hell you think you are, normal?" The yellow eyes punk spat, smacking Sean's arm.

"I think I'm the guy who doesn't need the both of you losing your cool and calm." Sean snapped back, turning back to Scott.

This turned out to be his biggest mistake of the day because as soon as he did, the other kid's hand slapped on the head and released some kind of heat from his body. Sean fell to the side and out of instinct of growing up in a rough city, he rolled quickly to his feet. His smoldering face turned and glared at the new kid, much to their shock.

"Oh ma god…." Rogue's voice was all that really registered.

Just want did that little sneak attack reveal? Well, I think that is coming around soon and well Sean's secret and mutant power.
