"GET THE FREAK!" A woman yelled
"HUNT HER DOWN NOW" A man yelled
"MUTANT! FREAK!" A mob of people yelled as they chase after me
"No it was a mistake I swear!" I yelled running for my life as I tried to escape the mob
"LAIR!" A random man yelled
I ran into the woods when I saw the barking dogs getting closer to my feet. I glanced back for only a second before I tripped over a stone rock and started to rolled down a hill. Tree branches thorns and pebbles dogged into my skin leaving scrapes and buries until my head landed on a bolder instantly knocking me on conscious when I finally landed on a leveled surface. The dogs surrounded me and sniffed my sent until the towns people showed up and took there places.
"She's still alive." One guy said
"What the hell are you waiting for...kill her" Another guy said
A man with dark black hair and eyes walked over with an axe and raised it up in the air. As soon as he was about to finish me off a red beam shot it right out of his hands. Everybody blinked stared in shock for a moment before turning to a tall white late teenager fixing his yellow and red visor over his eyes,"Next time I won't miss." He threatened.
He was wearing a navy blue based uniform with a yellow X over his chest. He had on shoulder pads with a red base and a black X over it wearing yellow boots while leaning down on one knee for a better shot.
"There's another one!" A yelled pulling out a gun
"Don't even think about it Bub." A an older guy said in a rugged voice wearing a navy blue uniform. Their was three golden stripes over his shoulders with the same X symbol in red on his belt. He had short dark blue hair an animalistic look in his eyes as he scrawled at the people with three medal claws sliding out of his knuckles.
"Does anybody else feel a chill up their spine?" One guy said
"Excuse me. Coming through." A girl said phasing right through the mob carrying my lifeless body with her. She was wearing a similar outfit to the first guy expected she had on a half shirt and her long brown hair was in a ponytail.
"They're everywhere!"
"Let's get out of here!" One guy yelled before taking off running away with the mob behind him.
"Not without your parting gift." A teenage woman said hovering in front of them wearing a similar outfit like the first guy but hers was sleeveless and her long red hair flowed off her shoulders and back. She spoke softly to crowd and snapped her fingers causing everybody to go back home with no memory of what just happened.
"We need to get her out of here Scott." The girl said
"I told you to call me Cyclops during missions, Kitty." Scott said
"Can we get her to a safe place first?" The redhead asked
"Jean's right now let's go." The oldest man said taking my body away Shadowcat and led the way
"Thanks Logan." Shadowcat said walking beside him with Scott and Jean following behind them
A few hours later the small squad made it to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Kurt was outside the garage washing his new car when they pulled up.
"Hey Kurt." Jean said getting his attention
"Hey Jean. Kitty. Scott. Logan. Who is that?" He asked walking over
"A girl who barely escape an angry mob with her life." Scott answered
"Is she alright?" He asked making his way over
"She's on conscious with few bruises. I'm gonna take her to the infirmary hopefully we can get some information on her." Logan said
"Wait I think I seen her before." Kurt said trying to get a good look
"Really?" Kitty asked
"Yeah she looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it." He said
"Well you'll figure it later until than she'll be in the infirmary." Logan said carrying me inside
"I could have sworn I know her from somewhere." Kurt said thinking
"Yeah just like how you won that skateboard competition three weeks ago when Spike said you didn't even sigh up." Kitty said
"THE COMPETITION!" He yelled before teleporting out the garage leaving behind a cloud of smoke with the strong sent of Brimstone
"Where is everybody?" A tall white blonde hair blue eyed man asking walking beside Rogue wearing a khaki brown cloak over his burden color sweater and blue pants with black shoes.
"Most likely on a mission but that doesn't answer my question. Why are you here Warren?" Rogue asked
"I was just flying around and I thought I should just stop by to say hello." He answered just before Kurt popped up out of nowhere.
"Rogue you won't believe who's here." He said excitedly
"What's that smell?" Warren asked fanning it with his hand
"Brimstone." Rogue answered covering her mouth so she doesn't inhale the unpleasant order.
"Guess who's here. Come on guess." He said
"Is it X-23?" She asked
"No" Kurt answered
"Is it Spike?" She questioned
"Nope." He replied
"Is it God?' Warren asked
Kurt grabbed their hands and transported everybody to the infirmary, "Its Alex from the skateboard competition." He answered
"What happened to her?" Warren asked
"She's a mutant so you can take a guess." Kurt answered
"I gotta call Mikey. Trent is probably freaking out right now." Rogue said looking up Mike's number
"Mike? When did you get his number?" Kurt wondered
"Shh. Hello Mikey?...This is Rogue where's Trent?... Can you try to calm him down long enough for him to talk to me?...Because I know where Alex is...She's here." Rogue said
After an hour or so Mike pulled up into the school before he could park the car Trent was already beating on the door trying to get in.
"Coming!" Jean said before opening the door
"Where's Alex? What happened? Is she alright?" Trent asked in a complete panic mood forcing his way inside
"Is who alright and who are you?" Jean asked
"Trent!" Rogue yelled getting his attention off Jean and on to her
"Rogue! Where's Alex?" He asked making his way over to her
"She's in the infirmary. I'll show you follow me." Rogue said leading the way
"Thank you." Trent said following close behind her
"What was that all about?" Jean thought out loud until a knock on the door grabbed her attention
"Hey did a guy name Trent bust in here?" Nina asked
"Yeah. Do you know him?" Jean asked
"Yeah. My name is Nina and this is my boyfriend Mike." She introduced
"Nice to meet you Miss..." Mike started holding out his hand
"Jean Grey." She finished shaking it
"Sorry for my brother's behavior. He's not like that normally he's much cooler." Mike said
"So are you guys related?" Jean asked calmly leading them to the infirmary
"Me and him grew up together just like Nina and his girlfriend Alex." He said following behind her with Nina by his side
"Yeah me and her are practically sisters so when Rogue called us and said she was hurt. I was the second person to rush to the car. You just saw who was the first one that raced here." Nina said
After a few minutes of walking and talking they made their way to the infirmary. Trent was sitting down in a chair near my bed holding my hand while staring at my lifeless body.
"Wow. Is she gonna be alright?" Mike mumbled
"Yeah she looks pretty bad." Nina said
"She just needs some rest for a few days but she should make a full recovery especially with the new abilities she's obtain." Jean said
"What do you mean?" Mike asked looking over at Jean
"Something happened to Alex that other people might not understand." Jean said
"So what did happened to Alex? And I'm just saying it's better for you to tell us so we can tell Trent." Nina said
"We found her surrounded by a few angry people and..." Jean started
"Wait wait wait you're definition of a few or ours?" Mike questioned
"What do you mean?" Jean asked
"This isn't the first time we've been hunted down like animals for being different." Mike said folding his arms
"I guess whenever Alex gets up we're moving again." Nina said
"We don't have much of a choice." Mike said sitting down in a chair against the wall
"Well you do now." Jean said
"How can you be so sure?" Mike questioned
"Because you're among people like you." A male voice said
"Did you hear that?" Mike asked jumping up
"Hear what?" Nina questioned
"Shh. That. We have to go to the office. Can you take us?" Mike asked looking at Jean
"Sure but what about your friend in there?" Jean asked pointing at Trent
"Trust me he's not gonna move from that spot until Alex wake up or if he has to use the bathroom whichever comes first." Nina said
Jean nodded and led the way with Mike following up close behind her. Nina tapped on the glass and gave a thumbs up at Trent who nodded with a slight smile before glancing back at me.
"This place is huge!" Mike yelled making an echo effect throughout the house
"Yeah. I bet there's enough rooms in here to get lost." Nina said looking around
"Hello!" Mike shouted just so he can himself talk
"The office is this way." Jean said with a light smile
Nina pulled Mikey along and after a few minutes they all appeared in the office where Warren was talking to a man in a wheelchair. The man had a light smile on his face dark brown eyes and his head was shaved, he was wearing a brown jacket over a black sweater pants and shoes.
"Well thanks Professor." Warren said getting up and making his way out
"Hey Warren." Jean said before giving him a hug
"Hey Jean. Who's this?" He asked breaking the hug and looking at Nina
"These are some new students they came here with Alex." She answered
"Alex. Is that the name of the girl in the infirmary?" He asked
"Yeah. This is Nina and Mike." Jean introduced
"Pleasure to meet you Nina." He said shaking her hand with a light smile
"Likewise ummmm." Nina replied
"Worthington. Warren Worthington III." He answered
"Warren." Nina mumble under her breath staring deeply in his eyes smiling light
"Hi I'm Mike. Nina's boyfriend." Mike said grabbing Warren's hand out of Nina's and shaking it so tightly it was almost like he was trying to break it
"I should probably get going. I'll see you guys around." Warren said after nearly crushing Mike's hand
"See you around." Nina said while Mike was holding his hand
Warren glanced back at Nina and smiled at her before leaving the office with Jean following behind him. Mike cleared his throat to direct Nina's attention to him before glaring at her and the door. Nina sighed deeply before kissing his cheek and grabbing his sore hand causing him to lightly wine before Professor Xavier moved up closer to the couple with a light and pleasant smile.
"Hello my name is Charles Xavier." He introduced
"Hey. You're the guy who told me we should come here." Mike said
"That is correct. I wanted to personally welcome you all to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and to offer you a full scholarship." Professor Xavier said
"A full scholarship? Sorry but I don't think you can teach us anything we don't already know." Mike said
"What about how to control your powers? To excel pass the limits you and your friends have set for yourselves? To learn the origins of your powers and what makes you all unique while meeting people just like you within the process?" Professor Xavier offered
"I think we should stay at least until Alex get better than we might consider it." Nina said
"Why should we consider?" Mike asked
"We should consider it because he saved Alex and he's allowing us to stay here while she's recovering. We can at least think about it while we're here." Nina said
"Fine but we have to talk to the others about this." Mike said
"I was aware that there was three of you." Professor Xavier said
"Trent is down in the infirmary with Alex and refuse to leave until she wakes up." Nina said
"How about we go check on them?" Professor Xavier asked leading the way
Mike and Nina glanced at each and nodded before following the Professor. Nina and Mike walked side by side until Professor Xavier went out the door with Nina following him closing the door behind herself leaving Mike inside. Mike quickly placed cameras everywhere scanned every sheet of paper he could get his hands and uploading everything into his mind.
"Where are you?" He lightly mumbled feeling on the walls until he felt a few wires
"Not what I was looking for but it'll have to do." He quietly said before turning into pure electricity and slowly getting absorbed into the wires
A few seconds later he appeared right beside Nina in the hallway as if nothing happened. A glanced between the two and a light smirk on Mike's face was more than enough to let her know he bugged the Professor's office. They continued to walk and talk with the Professor as they made their way to the infirmary.
"Hey bro. How you holding up?" Nina asked peaking in the room
"I'm ok. I guess." Trent answered looking up at her
"Someone wants to be meet you." She said
"Unless it's the owner of the place I really don't wanna be bothered." He said
"Actually it is." She replied
"Hello my name is Charles Xavier." He said holding out his hand
"Thank you for everything." Trent said standing up to meet him half way shaking his hand
"Well you're very welcome here you and your friends." He replied with a smile
"I don't think so we don't wanna cause any problems especially when our powers overload." Trent said
"Overload? " Professor Xavier wondered
"That's what we call it when we loose compelete control of our powers. It can happen any time anyplace anywhere but it was never this powerful. She single handedly blew up a power plant and shut down the city's power for three hours this morning." Trent said
"If you all would stay here you'll be able to control that power and contain it." Professor Xavier said
"I'll consider it but we have to stick together." Trent said
"Of course. How about a tour?" Professor Xavier suggested
"You guys go ahead I'll stay here." Trent said
"Of course you will." Nina said walking towards the door
"What..no extra comment Mike?" Trent asked
"Nope. If it was Nina I would do the same thing." Mike said
"Well let's get started." Professor Xavier said leading the way with Nina and Mike following behind him
Trent sighed deeply and rubbed the back of his head before sitting back down.
"Yo Trent make sure you think about why we're here." Mike said before really leaving
Trent nodded and waited until the coast was clear before closing the blinds. He tapped his temple and his once dark green eyes turned solar blue as a screen projected out of them with a file blinking on it. When he clicked on it a live feed of the Professor's office appeared with a few business papers on the side.
"Nothing but bills and progress reports." Trent mumbled blinking away the information and pulling up a message board
He formed a solar blue keyboard and quickly typed up a message for them to meet up with him later. After sending the message he closed the tab and his eyes turned back to their natural color.
"God I hope you wake up soon." He said directing his attention to me
"Awww look he's asleep." Mike whispered to Nina
"Do you really think we should wake him? I mean it is late." Nina whispered
"But he told us to come here and you don't wanna disobey a direct order." Mike said
"Fine wake him up." Nina said folding her arms
Mike quietly giggled and kissed Nina's cheek before sneaking up behind Trent,"SERGEANT MICHAEL J. HOLMES REPORTING IN SIR!" He yelled to the top of his lungs
Trent jumped up and punched Mike directly in the jaw before realizing where he was at.
"Damn! What was that for?" Mike asked rubbing his jaw before getting up on his feet
"I told you about waking me up like that last time I almost broke your arm remember?" Trent asked rubbing the sleep out his eyes
"Yeah yeah yeah. So what should we do now?" Mike asked
"We didn't expect her injuries to be this critical." Nina said
"She didn't even expect something like this but she got us in. Phase one of the mission has been complete with a miner flaw while she's unable to preform her duties I'm in charge. I want you guys to continue with observations and collect information on everything not just Cerebro but don't report anything until I say so." Trent said
"But Commander Stryker..." Nina started
"Is not here giving the orders I AM. I'll deal with the consequents later but for now you listen to me. Got it?" Trent asked
"Yes Sir." Nina said
"For now continue with phase two surveillance and observations. Mike do you have this place covered in cameras yes or no?" Trent asked
"Of course I do. Thanks to the Professor's little tour I'm partially all seeing in this place." Mike said
"Good. You keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. Nina do what you do best make friends be trustworthy get secrets and find out weaknesses. You guys have any problems report back to me. Understand? " Trent asked
"Yes sir." Both Nina and Mike said
"Move out." Trent said before Mike and Nina nodded before leaving
Trent sighed before looking up the clock reading 2:45 am and decided to look around for himself. After checking out the place and finding something to eat he told Stryker want the plan was. Stryker didn't like the idea at first but after thinking it over he eventually agreed to the terms that Trent set. Trent eventually went back to sleep on the couch in the infirmary while Mike and Nina went to bed in separate rooms on the side of the school.
