Chapter 2: Discovered
SCOTT SUMMERS/CYCLOPS'S P.O.V.
In mind or Yami/Yugi ghost talk: Italics
Telepathy: Italics and Underlined
'Scott. I need you, Jean, Kitty, Bobby and Storm to come to my office right now. We have a large assignment this time.' The Professor said telepathically.
I replied in the same manor, 'On our way.'
I told the other people the Professor told me to get and we made our way into his office.
He smiled and said, "We have a large mission ahead of us, it is not going to be easy."
Jean asked, "So who the new mutant and where are we going?"
The Professor pushed a button and Cerebro came out of the wall.
On screen was not one... but four... four mutants coming into their powers on the same day.
He looked at us and said, "As you may have guessed, we have four targets and they all are from the same city. Domino City, Japan."
Bobby looked at the screen and said, "No way! It's the King of Games and Seto Kaiba! Oh man Wheeler too?! Awesome!"
I looked at him and said, "You know them?"
He nodded and said, "Those guys are the most famous duelist in the world. Yugi Motou A.K.A. The King of Games is ranked number one, followed by Seto Kaiba, the world youngest CEO, and Joey Wheeler in third and is renowned to be an underdog. These guys are legendary in the game and are some of Japan's biggest celebrities. Who knew they turn out to be mutants?!"
The Professor looked at him and said, "Thank you for the explanation Bobby. Now I want you to go to Japan and meet these four in one month. Help them and see if they will come to Bayville with you."
Kitty tilted her head and said, "I understand why you would sent, Scott, Jean, and Ouroa. But why send Bobby and me?"
The Professor smiled and said, "Because two of them are showing powers similar to your own. Mr. Motou is phasing through objects accidentally, and Young Mokuba is freezing all the liquids he touches."
Kitty smiled and said, "Wow! Someone with the same power I have. This is so cool!"
Jean looked at the Professor and said, "But why in a month? If they are showing abilities now, why wait?"
The Professor pressed a button and the blonde kid picture filled the screen.
The computer then read aloud its information;
Name: Joesph 'Joey' Wheeler
Age: 15
Residence: Domino City, Japan
Current Location: Domino City Hospital
Notes: About 18 hours ago, Joesph was hit by a car that was going 40 miles per hour, and hit him at the crosswalk. He substantiated 5 broken ribs, a punctured lung, and massive trauma to the skull. He had since woken up with no sight at all, but appears to be showing signs of his powers despite his blindness.
Known Ablitles: Super Speed and Echokinesis
I looked at the Professor and said, "So he's blind?!"
He nodded and said, "Yes, but I believe that is an effect of his mutation. He possesses Echokinesis, the ability to mentally perform echolocation. He has another way of seeing so I believe the loss of his sight is no accident."
Storm looked at him and said, "What of the other's Charles? What abilities do they posses?"
He pressed another button and the screen read off once more showing the other three;
Name: Yugi Motou
Age: 15
Residence: Domino City, Japan
Current Location: Turtle Game Shop
Notes: Yugi is in possession of a rare magic artifact called the millennium puzzle, within it lies the spirit of a 5000 year old Pharaoh, who guides Yugi and tries to regain his memories of the past. Along with the spirit, Yugi has been having showing his powers in a stronger manor which have revealed to be more mutant orientated that magic based.
Known Ablites: Phasing, Clairvoyance, and Precognition
Name: Seto Kaiba
Age: 16
Residence: Domino City, Japan

Current Location: Kaiba Manor
Notes: Mokuba is a child prodigy when it comes to electronics, and it always keeping his brother in check making sure he doesn't give up his emotions completely. Although he is 13, Mokuba is a freshman in high school and top of his class.
Known Abilities: Hydrokinesis and Cryokinesis
"Brothers? Wow this is definitely going to be interesting." I said.
The Professor nodded and said, "This will be extremely difficult to accomplish to get them here let alone without the media noticing. That's why I'll be going as well."
Ouroa nodded and said, "I make sure the Blackbird is ready for flight."
He nodded and said, "Good and I'll have Forge work on something for Mr. Wheeler that should help his ability."
Bobby smiled and said, "I can't wait to meet them! They're so cool!"
Kitty grabbed him and said, "Chill out Bobby we still have a month before we go there."
I nodded and looked at the Professor. "Won't the Brotherhood be after them as well?"
He shook his head and said, "The Brotherhood's resources are limited to the U.S. so they will have no idea about them."
LANCE'S P.O.V
"Mystique? Who is that?!" I asked as she brought in a young blonde girl with freckles and glasses.
She smiled and said, "Boys, meet Rebecca Hopkins. She has decided to join us after she found out about her abilities."
Peatro zoomed up to her and said, "You're a mutant? Ha! Best joke I've heard all day."
Rebecca glared at him and said, "Your fast... that's for certain... But something about you feels familiar... Perhaps because you're the son of the man that recruited me... Magneto's son..."
He gawked at her and said, "How..."
Mystique smiled and said, "Rebecca is a telepath and has the ability to locate mutants, thus she has chosen the name Tracer."
Toad hopped forward and said, "Yo, I'm Toad... What up Tracer?"
She looked up at Mystique and said, "Please tell me there's a separate room for me..."
She nodded and said, "Yes and I'm giving you explicit permission to do what you will with those who enter."
Rebecca smiled and said, "Excellent. Now should I inform them or keep them in the dark?"
Blob looked at her and said, "What are you talking about?"
Mystique smirked and said, "There are four very powerful mutants that just came into their powers in Japan. In a month we'll travel there and try to recruit them to our cause."
I looked at her and said, "Wouldn't make more sense to go now so that the X-men don't get them?"
Rebecca looked up and said, "One of the mutants is hospitalized and won't be able to leave until the month is up."
Peatro looked at her and asked, "Do you know their names?"
She shook her head and said, "I can locate them, tell how powerful they are, and if they are injured. Other than that, I don't know the names."
Toad groaned and said, "Well that's a pain..."
Mystique smirked and said, "Not to worry... Tracer has been to Japan before and has connections there. All she needs to do is get a ride and then she can find them. Only two others will be going with her, so Quicksilver and Avalanche... I suggest you start packing."
Mystique turned into a bird and flew off.
Rebecca picked up her bag and began walking up the stairs to the locked room at the end of the hall.
She looked at me and said, "Umm... Can you reach on top of the door frame please?"
I nodded and walked over.
As I rubbed my hand over the frame I felt the cold piece of metal on my fingers.
I grabbed it down and sure enough it was a small silver key.
Rebecca smiled and took the key.
She unlocked the door and the room opened up.
It was a small clean room, with dark blue carpet with and white walls. Two bookshelves lined the walls along with pictures and a strange black box.
She smiled and said, "It's just like..."
Her eyes got watery as she stared at the room.
I knelt down and said, "Hey...What's wrong?"
She looked at me and said, "I'm sorry... It's just... This looks like my old room... when I lived with my Grandpa..."
I looked at her and said, "You left your Gramps to live here?"
Then her eyes filled with more tears as she said,"My Grandpa was an archaeologist and he went on a dig 6 months ago... No one's heard from him and the tomb he was exploring...it collapsed..."
Oh, man... She's all alone...
Man that's just cruel.
I looked at her and said, "You know, we're here for you too. I mean Toad smells worse than a garbage truck but he knows how to make you laugh. Blob is messy and a big lug, but he knows how to cook. Peatro can be snoody and in your face but knows when to get things done."
She wiped her eyes dry and said, "Th-Thank you..."
I smiled and said, "No problem. Hey I can show you where the middle school is or..."
She laughed and said, "Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that... You see, I'm a child prodigy... I'm a Junior in Collage..."
I gawked at her and said, "You in collage?!"
She nodded and opened the door to her room more. Sure enough there was multiple diplomas hanging on the walls.
I said, "Whoa... "
She smirked and said, "Yeah. So if you want me to outsmart the others I can do it like that."
I smiled and said, "You know, we're going to get along just fine...Lil' Sis."
I'm not sure why I called her that, but it just seemed to fit.
She looked at me and said, "Lil' Sis huh? Well then Big Bro, how about I teach you to play my favorite game involving monsters, spells and traps?"
I laughed and said, "You're so on!"
