Chapter Two
I don't own Digimon or X-Men
Chapter Two
Daisuke groaned as she turned on her side before she opened her eyes and they widened in shock, she found herself in a bed in what looked like a wealthy looking mansion. Daisuke groaned before she sat up and she looked to her left to see a red haired woman wearing a red skirt and red long-sleeved shirt and she was reading a book before she looked up at Daisuke and she smiled at Daisuke. "Good morning, glad to see you're awake," She greeted Daisuke who stared at the women before she looked around the room she was in again.
"Who are you? And where am I?" She asked and the redheaded woman smiled gently at Daisuke as she closed her book and she walked towards her.
"My name is Jean Grey. And like you I am also a mutant," The woman now known as Jean answered Daisuke.
"You're a mutant?" Daisuke asked and Jean nodded. "Prove it," She told Jean who raised an eyebrow before she held her hand out and the book in her hand floated into the air and then it moved towards the nearby shelf and set itself nicely on the shelf. "Whoa," Daisuke said in awe.
"Everyone says that the first time," Jean told her and Daisuke looked at her. "Yes?" She asked.
"What happened?" Daisuke asked Jean. "I mean the last thing I remember was walking into that jet with Takato and Professor Xavier, and then nothing," She said.
"Well, I can tell you that when you collapsed the Professor and Takato took you here until you recovered from what they suspected was exhaustion," Jean explained.
"And where is here exactly?" Daisuke asked.
"Westchester New York. And this building is called Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, or as some of the students have affectionately called it, The X-Mansion," Jean told her.
"X-Mansion?" Daisuke asked before she snorted. "Sound's silly doesn't it?" She asked Jean.
"One student said it and sure enough it stuck, now come on. The Professor would like to know you're up and about," Jean told Daisuke who nodded and she saw some clothes by her bed and she pulled them on and now she was wearing jeans, black boots and a blue shirt. Both Jean and Daisuke then walked out of the room where they saw several kids of all ages walking around talking about classes and other things.
"So this is a school?" Daisuke asked Jean.
"Yes, most of the kids here ran from home when they discovered their powers, the Professor brought them here to learn how to control their powers and also to learn the skills they would need to become successful members of the outside world," Jean explained.
"Okay….cool," Daisuke said as she sighed sadly.
"What's wrong Daisuke?" Jean asked her.
"It's just I can't believe that my parents wanted to lock me up, but mostly I'm sad because of the friends I left behind and my best friend in the entire world who I doubt I'll see again," She answered as they stood outside a door. Jean smiled at Daisuke as she went to open the door.
"Well I wouldn't know about not seeing him again," She said as she opened the door and a blue blur shot into Daisuke's arms.
"DAI!" Daisuke smiled as she looked down to see two bright crimson eyes looking at her happily.
"Veemon!" She said happily hugging her dragon tightly. "But how did you know where I was?" She asked him.
"Well, when you didn't show up at the park in Odaiba earlier today we all got worried," Veemon explained.
Flashback
Veemon, and the other digimon partners of the DigiDestined and the DigiDestined themselves were all standing around in the park. Veemon had a look of concern on his face as did the DigiDestined as well.
"Where is Daisuke?" A bushy haired brunette asked looking at his watch checking the time.
"I don't know Tai. She is never this late to anything," A blonde haired boy with blue eyes answered Tai.
"I hope she's okay," A brown haired girl with cherry red eyes said concerned.
"Veemon do you know where Daisuke is?" A green caterpillar like digimon asked the blue bipedal dragon who shook his head.
"No, I was asleep in the closet like I usually am," He answered and everyone sweatdropped at his answered just then they heard someone approaching them and they all turned to see a boy with blue hair wearing an orange jacket over a green shirt and blue jeans, and beside the boy was a girl with red hair done up in a short ponytail and she wore jeans and a white and blue shirt with a blue broken heart on it.
"Who're you?" Tai asked the two of them.
"Are you guy's friends of Daisuke?" The boy with blue hair asked the group.
"Why do you ask?" Another blonde haired boy with blue eyes asked the two strangers.
"Who are you anyway?" the lavender haired girl with glasses asked them.
"My names Henry Wong, and this is Rika Nonaka." Henry introduced him and Rika who curtly nodded to the DigiDestined.
"Okay…but you still haven't told us how you know Daisuke," The plum haired boy said to them.
"Ken's right," A short boy with brown hair and emerald green eyes said.
"Okay," Henry said. "You know how there's that website about mutants telling people what to do if they find one?" Henry asked the DigiDestined.
"Yeah…but that's just some guy's mad ramblings about something that doesn't exist, right?" Ken asked but Rika and Henry shook their heads.
"No it's not. Mutants are real, and your friend is one of them," Rika said making the DigiDestined and digimon gasp.
"Dai is a-a mutant?" Tai asked.
"Yes, I take it she never told any of you?" Henry asked them and everyone shook their heads except Veemon.
"She told you?" Wormmon asked his friend.
"Well yeah, you remember when you and Ken while he was still the Digimon Emperor attacked me and Daisuke while we were alone right?" Veemon asked and Ken and Wormmon nodded. "And when Daisuke somehow managed to do Flamedramon's Fire Rocket and Raidramon's Thunder Blast?" Veemon asked again and Ken and Wormmon nodded their heads before their eyes went wide in realisation.
"I thought I was seeing things when she did that," Ken said.
"Yeah, well now you know the truth. So do you still think the same of Daisuke now that you know what she is?" Henry asked them.
"Of course we do! Why wouldn't we?" TK asked him.
"Because when her parents found out yesterday, they called the hotline on the website and some agents came to take her in," Rika said angrily.
"They what!?" Veemon shouted angrily. "They wanted to lock Daisuke up!" He shouted.
"Yeah, but thankfully one of the agents sent to get her was a mutant just like her and he allowed her to escape," Rika said.
"Where is she now?" Ken asked.
"When she escaped from the agents she ran into the leader of our group Takato Matsuki, and Professor Charles Xavier," Henry answered.
"Group? Are you mutants?" Tai asked them.
"Henry a mutant, that'll be the day," A voice chirped as a white and green bunny looking digimon with large ears landed on Henry's head.
"Terriermon," Henry scolded.
"Momentai," He said to Henry.
"I guess you can come out now too Renamon," Rika said and a yellow and white two legged fox with purple gloves dropped down from a tree.
"You guys are DigiDestined?" Izzy asked in surprise.
"That's right, Terriermon at your service," Terriermon chirped. "And the silent foxy lady over there is Renamon," He said and the next thing he knew Renamon had swatted him over with her tail.
"You had that coming," Henry told him. "Anyway, yes the leader of our group is a mutant as well, as is his sister Mizu Matsuki, Daisuke is safe with them and Professor Xavier, they took her to a place where mutants are safe from people like those agents that came after her," He further explained to the DigiDestined.
"Can we see her?" Ken asked them.
'Not yet, I'm sure Takato will let Daisuke know when you can visit her," Henry told him.
"Can you take me, Daisuke is my partner and I won't abandon her, not now, not ever," Veemon said and Henry and Rika shared a look and they nodded.
"Alright we can take you, after-all goggle head has his partner at the school," Rika said to him and Veemon smiled brightly.
End Flashback
"So, Takato's friends brought you here?" Daisuke asked him.
"Actually they took me to where two people were waiting to take me here, but not before I told your parents what I thought of them," Veemon said and Daisuke sweatdropped slightly.
"Daisuke, I think we should meet the professor now," Jean voiced up and both Daisuke and Veemon looked at her and they nodded, Jean then opened the door to the office and Daisuke and Veemon saw Professor Xavier sitting behind his desk and he was talking quietly to Takato and three other people who were in the room. The professor stopped talking and he turned his wheelchair around to face Daisuke and Veemon.
"Good morning Miss Motomiya, I trust you are feeling better after your ordeal," He said to her.
"I am thank you, and thanks for bringing Veemon to me," She thanked him and he smiled gently.
"It is no problem at all, but you should be thanking two of my first students; Scott Summers and Ororo Monroe, also known as Cyclops and Storm," Professor Xavier told her and Daisuke looked at the male brunette who had a visor over his eyes making it look like he had one eye, Scott nodded slightly to her and Daisuke turned to the white haired woman. "Why do they call you Storm?" She asked curiously. Storm smiled as she held her hands out to her sides and her eyes became cloudy and both Veemon and Daisuke looked up to see a small rain cloud appeared above them.
"Because I have the power to control the weather," She answered her.
"Whoa, cool," Veemon who was now hanging on his partners shoulders said.
"You said it," Daisuke agreed.
"Storm's Weather Control recorded and stored in memory bank," A voice then called out in Daisuke's mind making her look around the room.
"Something wrong my dear?" Professor Xavier asked her.
"No, it's nothing," She answered him.
"You have already met Takato Matsuki," The Professor said as Daisuke looked at Takato who waved to her and she smiled, Daisuke and Veemon then looked over to see a girl with light purple hair, and pink eyes, she was wearing a white sweater with black sleeves that exposed her shoulders showing that she also was wearing a black spaghetti strap tank top, she also was wearing a pleated jeans skirt with black and purple stripped stockings and white shoes with purple laces. "And this is his twin sister Mizu Matsuki," He introduced the girl.
"Twin sister?" Daisuke asked.
"I was born two minutes after Takato," Mizu explained. Daisuke and Veemon then turned to see a man with a beard and short black hair, wearing a leather jacket and jeans smoking a cigar standing in the corner.
"And who are you?" Daisuke asked him.
"The names Logan, but I'm also called Wolverine," He answered her taking another drag of his cigar.
"Why do they call you that?" Veemon asked and the next thing he and Daisuke knew Logan held his arm out three metal claws shot out of his knuckles and Daisuke gasped in awe as she heard the voice again.
"Wolverine's Adamantium and Healing Powers recorded and stored in memory bank," Daisuke walked over to Logan and she went to touch one of the claws when the voice spoke again. "Wolverine's Adamantium Skeleton and Claws activated," And the next thing that happened shocked everyone; three metal claws the same as Logan's had shot out of Daisuke's right hands knuckles and one of them had impaled Logan's cigar on it surprising him, Daisuke then winced as she saw some blood trickle down from her hand, she pulled her hand back.
"What's going on?" She asked before she started waving her hand around trying to make the claws go away and Cyclops, Storm, Takato, Mizu and Veemon moved away from her while Logan grabbed her hand.
"Easy kid, calm down…and think of them going back into your hand," He told her calmly and Daisuke nodded and she calmed down and to her and everyone's relief the claws retreated back into her hand.
"Powers deactivated," She heard the voice announce in her head and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, that was new," Takato voiced up after a few minutes of silence.
"I hear ya kid, how did she copy my powers," Logan asked as he picked his cigar off the floor and he sighed and he tossed it into a nearby trashcan.
"Let us find out," Professor Xavier said and he nodded to Jean who nodded and she led Daisuke and Veemon off and into a small elevator, and soon both Daisuke and Veemon gasped in awe as they saw an entirely new part of the mansion when they stepped out of the elevator this time it was all made of smooth steel.
"Where are we?" Daisuke asked.
"This is the secret part of the mansion that houses our Danger Room, which is a simulator for various scenarios, and the jet that took you here is also here," Jean explained.
"What is that?" Veemon asked pointing to a steel door at the far end of the hallway.
"That's Cerebro," Jean answered.
"Cerebro?" Daisuke asked. "What's a Cerebro?"
"It is a special machine that allows the professor to find other mutants, that is how he found you Daisuke, and it is how he found everyone here, but more on that later. In here," Jean said leading Daisuke and Veemon into a room where Daisuke's eyes widened as she saw a boy wearing glasses with somewhat spiky hair.
"You!" She shouted making the boy turn to face her only to be tackled by her.
"What's going on!?" He shouted.
"You're alive after all this time!?" Daisuke asked him before she suddenly was pulled into the air and pushed away from the boy, Daisuke saw Jean was the one who had broken the two apart.
"Daisuke what's wrong?" Veemon asked his partner.
"Yeah, I don't even know you," The boy said getting to his feet.
"Oh really, what about Ken! Your brother who thought you died Sam Ichijoji!" Daisuke shouted at the boy now known as Sam.
"Wait, he's Ken's brother? But didn't he die in a car accident?" Veemon asked Daisuke.
"That's what Ken said happened," She answered.
"I see. I can explain, I take it you're Ken's friend?" Sam asked her.
"His best friend, where were you? He's blamed himself for your death for years, and all this time you've been alive," Daisuke said angrily.
"I can explain, on the day the accident happened I was about to be hit and then suddenly when I opened my eyes I found myself outside the school. Professor Xavier told me I was a mutant who could teleport," Sam said.
"But why didn't you go back to tell Ken you were alive or your parents for that matter?" Daisuke asked him.
"I couldn't face them, I didn't want them to worry about me, or make them scared of me for being a mutant," Sam said sadly.
"Well, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Your parents and Ken have mourned you for years! You owe it to them to at least know you're alive," Daisuke told him.
"You never let an issue go, anyone tell you that?" Sam said with a smile.
"Yup, Ken says it's what makes me unique and why he sees me as his best friend and the sister he never had," Daisuke said smiling and Sam smiled slightly.
"I'll think on it, but for now, why did you bring her here Dr Grey?" He asked Jean.
"The Professor wants to know what Daisuke's power is, she's a mutant as well," She answered and Sam nodded.
"Understood," He said, soon Daisuke was lying down on a slab with Jean and Sam looking over her.
"So how's this work?" She asked.
"Simple, it scans your DNA and it'll tell us what your power is, or powers," Sam explained to her before he pressed a button and the slab Daisuke was on slid into the scanner and a light turned on as a laser moved up and down her body, meanwhile in another room Scott, Storm, Takato, Logan, Veemon and Professor Xavier were looking at the results of the scan.
"Well this is interesting," Xavier said.
"What is it Professor?" Storm asked him.
"When I first saw Daisuke use her powers when Takato and I met her I thought she had multiple powers, but it turns out she only has one," Xavier answered her as Daisuke, Sam and Jean exited the scanner room.
"So, do you know what my power is Professor?" Daisuke asked him.
"Yes my dear it turns out your power is one of the rarest ones there is. It's called Empathetic Mimicry," The Professor answered her.
"What's that?" Logan asked as he lit another cigar.
"It means she has the ability to copy any mutant power, or any power for that matter, and it stores it into her mind. She can then use it at any time at the same level if not stronger than the person she copied the power from. This probably accounts for the voice you've been hearing Miss Motomiya," The Professor explained.
"So it's my power that's talking in my mind, and not me going crazy, right?" Daisuke asked and the Professor nodded.
"Yes, and because your power is very rare I have decided to make you one of the X-Men," He said.
"Whoa, Professor are you sure?" Scott said making everyone look at him. "I mean, she is just a kid," He said.
"A kid who could probably kick your ass without breaking a sweat," Logan mumbled and Scott frowned at him.
"Yes I am sure. Now as for training that will be Storm and Jean's job. They'll be her teachers and will help her learn to use her powers," Xavier said as Storm walked over to Daisuke and she bent down to her level.
"Are you ready to get started?" She asked her.
"Yes!" She exclaimed happily.
"Well then, let's get to work," Jean said.
"Takato, Mizu, get Daisuke a uniform for her to use for her training and for missions as well," Xavier told Takato and Mizu who nodded.
"Sure, come on Daisuke," Takato told Daisuke and he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room and no one missed the slight tinge of pink on Daisuke's cheeks.
"I think she'll fit in fine," Jean said.
