Oh, look guys! It's another short chapter. But that's only because I wanted to get this one up for you guys now, while this idea was still fresh in my head. So here it is, make sure you read and review!

The New Student

Everyone was still looking at Patrick and Rogue, trying to find similarities between the two when Xavier spoke up. "Don't you think you ought to leave them alone for now? If what this has revealed is true, which I suspect very much that it is, then they might want some time to figure things out for themselves."

Xavier got a few glances of disappointment, but no one seemed to want to argue with him. Instead they all slowly migrated out of the danger room, leaving Xavier, Patrick, Rogue, Logan, and Jean in the room by themselves.

Rogue glanced over at Jean, wondering why the girl had decided to stay in the room with them. But her thoughts had been scattered since Kurt had just come out and voiced his thoughts, and she had been looking back at interactions between her and Patrick, relooking at them to see if he acted more brotherly than he should have. And now that she was thinking back on it, she seemed to realize that he had acted like a brother, and she wondered why she didn't notice anything sooner.

Logan glanced at Rogue, but spoke to both her and Patrick, "so is there anything you guys want to say to each other?"

Patrick and Rogue shrugged at the same time, even answering within the same second, "not really, der not much dat I can say ta her/him." They both said, then glanced at each other awkwardly.

Logan his a smirk behind his hand, and Jean had to cough to cover up a laugh. Xavier let out a quiet sigh, looking between Rogue and Patrick. "Perhaps it's best if the two of you tried to get to know each other better, before you decide that there's nothing that you want to know about the other."

Patrick was about to respond when Evan came running into the room. "Professor, you gotta come check this out. There's some weird kid who's wandering around on the front lawn, and Kitty just went and asked him his name. But you'll never guess what he looks like." He said, sounding extremely hyper for some strange reason.

Everyone in the room looked at Evan in both surprise and confusion. "Evan, calm down, please. What are you talking about?" The professor said, just as confused as the rest of them.

"The kid, on the front lawn. He's just wandering around, but he doesn't look lost. And he looks just like Rogue. And I mean JUST like her. Like he could be her twin. He says he thinks his name is Austin Rey."

So? Who's this strange new student, Austin-Rey? What importance could he hold for the X-Men? Why did no one have a serious conversation with him and just let him walk around the mansion grounds? Where was Storm during this interaction and why didn't she take charge? What was Evan thinking just running back into the danger room like that? When will all these mysteries be solved? Find out in the next installment! Just kidding, they'll be revealed in later chapters. But the mystery continues in the next chapter. It might take a while on that though, Patrick and Austin are walking up to me now, they teamed up against me. Hey, wait, no, put down that knife. What do you think you're doing?

Hey readers, thanks for viewing this amazing story so far. Don't you just love me already? I mean seriously, I'm a hot southerner, what more could you ask for? Oh, yeah, you guys want to know about Austin. Well, sorry, but he's not my character, he's 2takuya's, so I'm not allowed to reveal anything, that's up to 2takuya. But I can tell you this, Austin and I are tired of this suspense too. We just want to know what happens to us. And Austin is very upset with 2takuya because it took this long for Austin to be introduced in this story. Oh, ha, that was funny. 2takuya is saying that it was the flow of the story, that's why Austin wasn't introduced sooner. Oh, Austin doesn't seem to believe him. I suppose I should end this here, the rest isn't suitable for some viewers. Patrick Out!
