Xavier's school for the gifted

"Well that was unexpected." Logan stated as Harry disappeared leaving him alone with Kurt. Logan shook himself as he realized that he had just been issued an order by someone possibly more than half his age.

Kurt looked from the spot Harry had disappeared from to where Logan was sitting across from him. He picked up his glass and took a sip of cold orange juice, just so he would have something to do with his hands.

Logan watched the obviously nervous mutant across from and started to ask a question the door burst open causing him to go on the defensive. He unsheathed his claws and prepared to attack the intruder only to be confronted by Jean and Scott again.

"Whats the big idea, bursting into rooms like that? Do you want me to kill you one of these days?" He shouted at them.

"Shut it, Logan. Wheres the other kid?" Scott questioned as he noticed that only the blue boy and Logan remained inside.

"Argh. Why can't I get inside his mind?" Jean groaned as she came up against strong shields around Kurt. Kurt folded into himself curling up till he was no bigger than a beach ball in his chair.

Seeing that Logan advanced on the other X-Men. "Didn't you learn your lesson yet? Get out of here, your scaring the kid. And stop trying to access his mind, I thought you had more morals than that."

Jean reared back as if she had been slapped effectively stopping her mind probe. She looked over to the curled up figure and thought to herself, 'What have I done?' She blinked back tears as she leaned against the door jamb. Scott looked from Jean's tear filled gaze and his anger rose.

"How dare you make her cry? She was doing her job to find out about the intruders."

"They weren't intruders. They came here to check out the school and see about have this one enrolled here. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if they joined up with the brotherhood, just because of how your treating them. I have half a mind to leave here as well."

"And just where would you go? You can't even remember your name. What are you going to do for money? Go back to participating in cage fights in rundown bars again?"

Logan had just about enough and pinned Scott against the wall and was ready to skewer him when a voice from behind him made him pause.

"Just what is going on here? Scott what have you done now to anger Logan so and why is Jean crying in the corner?" asked Storm from the hallway. As she came inside the room she saw Kurt curled up in a ball. Storm made her way slowly towards the trembling blue figure keeping her hands in sight of the fearful gaze at all times. "Hello little one. My names Ororo Munroe. Its alright no one is going to hurt you. Kurt looked at the nice lady who was quietly talking to him and uncurled himself slowly.

"There thats better now isn't it." Kurt just nodded as he kept his gaze on the rooms other occupants.

Logan had re-sheathed his claws and moved away Scott and Jean. "You alright, there Kurt?" Logan asked, his voice soft.

Kurt nodded again, but before he could say anything else. Three new people appeared in the corner behind him causing the others to go on the defensive again.

Harry appeared in a corner of the room he had left an hour before with Drake and Silvanus holding his arms tightly. He shook them off as he took in the state of the room. Drake and Silvanus flanked Harry as they had done numerous times before during the war, when they saw the others preparing to attack.

"Stand down!" Harry commanded, Drake and Silvanus raised an eyebrow at him but did as they were told. "Logan. Report. Now." Harry held out a hand towards Kurt who gladly took it and made his way back behind Harry.

Logan swallowed thinking, 'How does he do that. I go into battles with less fear than right now.'

"Um.. They burst in here not long after you had left. I told them to leave and Jean tried to enter his mind again thinking since you were gone he would be unprotected. She got frustrated and I told her off which started her crying. Then Scott tried to be self righteous about it and I said that I wouldn't hold it against you guys if you decided to join up with the brotherhood due to all this. And that I had half a mind to leave as well after seeing them like this. Scott started bringing up my past and we got into a small scuffle that stopped when Storm over there reprimanded us and calmed Kurt down again then you arrived."

Harry nodded his head as he listened to what had happened in his absence. 'So my foresight payed off.' he thought. Harry conjured a few more chairs around the room and motioned his party to sit and eat. "You did well, Logan. Sit, eat." As Logan relaxed and complied, Harry eyed the new female in the room. She looked about Silvanus's age, with copper toned skin and long white hair. She was dressed in casual jeans and a loose silver tank top.

Harry approached her slowly, "I thank you for your intervention, milady." Harry bowed at the waist and took her hand in his before pressing a kiss to it. "Allow me to introduce myself and my companions. I am known as Harry Parsel. Behind me are Silvanus Smith, Drake Murphy, and Kurt." He said while pointing to each in turn.

Silvanus and Drake made a bow when their names were mentioned before returning to their seats. "Might we have the pleasure of knowing your name. For surely a beautiful flower such as yourself has an equally enchanting name." Harry smirked to himself as he took in her lovely blush while he waited for her answer.

Storm tried not blush at the compliments that she was receiving, failing miserably she replied, "I am Ororo Munroe. I also go by the name Storm due to my ability to control the weather."

"Lovely, simply lovely. Please join us in our meal. You would be most welcome amongst us." Harry said as he gently tugged on her hand and lead her over to an unoccupied chair.

He turned back to Jean and Scott who had stayed silent during the conversations. "You two are not welcome here. Until such time as Charles Xavier deigns to grace us with his presence, I suggest you stay out of our sights and minds. Leave us." He ordered before using his magic to push them out the door and lock it behind him again.

"Ah, much better." he said as he took his seat between his former spies. "Silvanus, Drake, eat. I will let you look over my files after you finish. Don't even try it, Smith." He added as Silvanus opened his mouth to say he was finished.

Drake snorted as he watched his godfather get reprimanded by Harry. "You would think, you'd stop trying to do that after the hundredth time he's caught you at it." Draco taunted his godfather.

Smith fixed a glare at his godson before replying, "Just because it hasn't worked yet, doesn't mean it won't eventually." Smith grumbled under his breath as Harry added more food onto his plate, "insufferable brat."

"Git." Harry replied smiling, causing Silvanus's lips to twitch as he held back a smile.

Storm took in the visitors with her eyes. Silvanus was a tall man, with dark black eyes, and a slightly hooked nose. He wore a deep blue shirt and black slacks that showed off his slim build. Drake was only slightly shorter than Silvanus, with platinum blond hair and silvery eyes. He also wore black slacks, but had on a silver shirt instead of blue, and while he also was slim he had a more athletic build to him than the older man. Last she rested her gaze on Harry. He had on a tight black t-shirt and black blue jeans that accentuated his wiry build. He was shorter than Drake by an inch or two, and yet he had a commanding air about him that made him seem taller.

"Parsel..." Smith began as he showed his empty plate to the watching teen.

Harry grinned at him, "Alright, here's the files with my own observations added." Harry said as Silvanus snatched the folders out of his hand, and began reading immediately. Harry patted on Drake's back as heard him start to choke on his drink beside him, when he failed to hold back a laugh at his godfather's antics.

"Oh, gods. That was too funny Uncle Silv." Drake gasped out as he finally got control over himself.

"Glad I could amuse you, Drake." Smith stated sarcastically.

Drake just stuck his tongue out at him. Before Smith could make a scathing retort, Harry held up his hand instantly drawing their attention to him. "Save it for later. There will be plenty of time for us to annoy each other later when we leave here.

"Very well, Parsel." Smith replied and went back to his reports.

"Sorry, Harry." Drake stated as he took the folders that Smith had finished with.

"No matter, Drake." Turning back to face the others he said, "You have questions. Ask, and I shall attempt to answer."

Logan and Storm exchanged glances as they watched the byplay. Marveling at their easy camaraderie, that can only be achieved after years of working together. And while Silvanus was the oldest he still easily deferred to the green eyed teen, showing that he respected him despite the differences in their ages. Storm gathered up her courage and asked, "So, what mutant powers do you all posses?"

"Kurt can tele-port." Harry smirked. Drake and Silvanus kept their expressions neutral as they watched Harry let his Slytherin side out.

Storm waited for someone to continue, before sighing and asking, "And the others?"

"Oh they're not mutants." Harry replied as his smirk became more pronounced. Logan watched the others closely, he could feel the anticipation growing from blond as Storm continued with her questions.

"So, you also have the power of tele-portation like Kurt? I'm sure we can..." Storm trailed off as she saw Harry shake his head while Drake held his sides in silent laughter.

"I'm not a mutant either."

"But surely, .."

"No, only Kurt is."

"But, I saw you appear out of thin air. How is that possible if you do not posses powers."

Drake gave up on holding in his laughter, as Harry replied with a straight face, "I never said we didn't have powers."

Smith covered his mouth with his hand to hide his small smile as he looked at Storm and Logan's flabbergasted faces. "Are you going to give them an explanation, Harry?" he questioned.

"Hmm, No." Seeing his comrades raise their eyebrows he continued. "The headmaster is ghosted over their thoughts. If he wants to know more he'll just have to face us himself."

Logan tensed where he sat, he had repeatedly told Chuck not to do that to him and he had promised only to do so in an emergency. Storm looked outraged, "He wouldn't do that, thats an invasion of privacy, he promised only to use his powers for the.."

"Greater good?" Harry, Silvanus, and Drake stated in unison. Storm just nodded and looked away as her world started to crumple.
