Chapter 4: The Vanishing Mutant Part 1
Boston, Massachusetts, Sunday, October 24, 9:00 pm
A black van pulled up on the side of the street, inside the van were a group of ten men. Eight in the back, two up in the front seats. The lead man looked at the group, "Alright, everyone knows the plan right," he said, he got a nod in return. "Good, follow the plan and everything should go fine, especially with our secret weapon." The boss then looked at the person on his right, just like him the person was masked, by their build you could tell that they were male, this person was much shorter than the man though, about 5 inches from the boss's 6 foot. "Alright, time to move." The people in the back then all exited the car. When they were out the boss looked at the person beside him. "You know what to do."
The person nodded, "I do," the person said in a youthful voice.
"Everyone, grab on tight," the boss said as he grabbed the boy's shoulder. Following their leader's orders, the group grabbed onto each other, everyone making sure that they had some connection to the boy. "Do it," the boss ordered
The boy nodded, he then took a breath, suddenly the group vanished from their spot.
Bank
The group of men then appear in a room that is filled with money, the boss grinned, "Load up, get as much as you can," the boss said, with that everyone split up and started to fill their bags with as much money as possible, after 10 minutes every member's bags were filled with money, "Ok, time to go." Everyone then made contact with each other and once again they vanished.
Outside
The group appeared next to the van which the boss opens, "Everyone get in, now," the boss ordered, everyone then got in the van with their bags of money. Once everyone was in the van, the van took off leaving the scene. Knowing that they were safe the boss relaxed and took off his mask to show a man with tan skin, black hair, and brown eyes. The man then put his hand on his companion's shoulder, "Atta boy."
Xavier's Institute, Cerebro
Professor Xavier and Jean were in Cerebro with Jean holding the helmet, "I don't know about this professor," Jean said uncertainly as she looked at the helmet in her hands.
"I understand your hesitation Jean, but please know that I believe this to be necessary. Cerebro is a very complex machine, and you have used this machine quite a few times. I wish to teach you how to properly use it, especially with the upgrades given to it," Professor Xavier said, one of the first things that Xavier upgraded was Cerebro to make it more accurate among other things.
"But why? Why can't you just do it," Jean asked
"Recent events have shown me that there may come a day where I will no longer be around, and you all will be alone. The X-Men and New Mutants did an excellent job in stopping Apocalypse, despite the odds being against you. You all triumphed and I am very proud, especially considering I wasn't there to help you," Xavier said
"It was Logan's plan that saved the day professor, we just followed it," Jean said
"That doesn't matter. What matters is how you all handled the situation, and I believe it is time that I put more responsibility on you all. I know that may not sound fair Jean, just know that the reason why I'm doing this is because the X-Men have proven that they can handle it. You are one of the most powerful telepaths in the world Jean, I know that you can handle it. Just believe in yourself," Xavier said
Jean sighed, "Ok professor, I trust you," Jean said, she then put on the helmet.
"Ok, now let's try looking for some familiar people, starting with the one that you are most familiar with, Scott," Xavier said
"Ok," Jean said, she then concentrated trying to use Cerebro to connect with Scott. After a few minutes, Scott's picture shows up along with a list of information that includes Name: Scott Summers, Father: Christopher Summers, Mother: Katherine Summers, Age: 20, Mutant Powers: Concussive Optic Blasts, Location: Bayville, New York, Xavier's Institute. It then showed Scott's power levels.
"Good, now let's locate Evan, shall we," Xavier said getting a nod from Jean who concentrated, it took a little longer because Evan's signature was a bit different due to the evolution of his powers but eventually the picture of an armored Evan showed, listing his information, Name: Evan Daniels, Father: Howard Daniels, Mother: Amy Daniels, Age: 18, Powers: Self-Replicating Exoskeleton Projectiles/Flaming Spikes, Location: New York, New York, and finally it showed his power levels. "Good, now how about Kitty."
"Ok," Jean said, she then concentrated, and a picture of Kitty showed up, it had her Name: Katherine Anne Pryde, Father: Carmen Pryde, Mother: Rebecca Theresa Pryde, Age: 18, Powers: Intangibility, Location: Forest Hills, New York, New York.
"Hmmm, Forest Hill, I wonder what she could be doing there. Would you happen to know Jean," Xavier asked his student.
"What? Why would I know? She might just be visiting a friend, you know we all do have friends outside the X-Men right professor," Jean said trying to cover for Kitty, she knows very well why Kitty is in Forest Hills, she's visiting her boyfriend who she seems to be crazy about. Jean is happy for Kitty; she has never seen the girl this happy before. Kitty told Jean that she wanted to keep her relationship a secret for now. She doesn't want the others to interfere just yet. Jean can understand that, ever since she and Scott got together, everyone has been in their business so much, it's annoying. Kitty did reassure Jean that she will reveal her relationship, Jean just hopes it's soon, she'd like to meet this Peter guy. Kitty has shown her pictures of him and her, most recently when they went costume shopping, Jean thinks that Kitty should go for the witch's costume. Jean still can't believe that Kitty is dating the personal intern for Tony Stark, Iron Man himself. Jean must admit she is impressed, Kitty sure could milk that cow if she wanted to.
"I suppose that you're right," Professor Xavier said with a knowing smile, making Jean wonder what he knows. "Let's get back to practice, shall we?"
"Of course," Jean said, just then an alarm goes off.
"A mutant," Xavier exclaimed, just then an image appears on the screen, the image is of a teenage boy, with the sides of his head shaved to the point where the only hair he had was on the middle of his head, the end of his black hair pointed down his forehead, he has green eyes, and he was wearing a red shirt. Next to the image it says Name: Telford Porter, Father: Edward Porter, Mother: Nataly Porter (Deceased), Age: 18, Location: 9128 Adrian Drive, 02108, Boston, Massachusetts, then it shows his power levels. "Telford Porter," Xavier read
"Professor," Jean said
"It appears that we may have a new recruit. Let Scott know, tomorrow we will gather the X-Men, and we will head to Boston," Xavier said
"Yes professor," Jean said
"You may leave Jean, we'll pick this up at another time," Xavier said
"Thank you," Jean said, she then left Cerebro and went to find her boyfriend.
New York City, Forest Hills, Parker Residence
In the room of Peter Parker moans can be heard, clothes are thrown about on the ground, shirts, jackets, socks, shoes, and pants. On the bed are two individuals, Peter Parker who is wearing red boxers, and underneath him is his girlfriend Kitty Pryde, her hair out of its usual ponytail, she is wearing a dark blue bra with cheeky panties. Kitty is the one who is making the moans and all because Peter is massaging her left breast with one hand, his other hand squeezing her butt, while his mouth bites the erect nipple that is showing through her bra, "Peter…keep going…keep going Peter," Kitty breathes out as she moans in pleasure, her arms wrapped around Peter's head, pulling his hair in encouragement. Peter gives Kitty's nipple a hard bite, "FUCK," she yelled, Peter bites Kitty's nipple again, "FUCK," Kitty said as her back arches in pleasure as she heaves.
Peter releases Kitty's nipple leaving it sensitive and making her want him to continue biting it. Peter then bites Kitty's breast and then kisses his way up to her neck which he bites, making her whimper in pleasure, Peter then goes to Kitty's ear and bites it.
"P-Peter," Kitty whimpers in pleasure.
"You like this Kitty? Like what I'm doing to you," Peter asked as he bit Kitty's ear again, lightly dragging his teeth on it.
Kitty's breathing is getting harder, the pleasure coursing through her body is incredible, "Y-yes," Kitty whispered
"What was that I didn't hear you," Peter said as he gave Kitty's ass a harder squeeze.
"OHHHH, YES, YES PETER, I LOVE IT SO MUCH," Kitty couldn't help but yell.
Peter kisses Kitty's neck again and leads his kisses to her throat, the sounds of Kitty's moans are music to his ears, each and every moan that he hears just turning him on even more. God, she makes it so hard, makes it so hard for him not to take her.
Unknown to Peter Kitty is in the same thought process, every kiss, suck, bite, touch, squeeze, all of it just arouses her more and more. The only thing she can think of is how it would feel if they were completely naked, how it would feel if they went all the way. As Peter gives Kitty's ass another hard squeeze making her scream in pleasure, all she could think about is if they had sex now, how wonderful it would be. It certainly doesn't help that she can feel his erection rubbing against her thigh. Peter stops kissing Kitty's neck and lifts his head to look at Kitty's face, her face is flushed, and she is breathing heavily from what he has been doing to her. Quickly Kitty wraps her arms around Peter's neck and pulls him down into an intense kiss which he happily returns. As they kiss Kitty rubs her hands down Peter's strong back and lightly drags her nails down, she then brings them back up so she can feel his broad shoulders and then down his strong arms. She loves to feel Peter's body, loves to feel the marvel of a man that she has with her and said man really knows how to drive her wild with his ministrations, she just can't help but scream in pleasure.
Trying to deepen the kiss more Peter goes down on Kitty, however as he does so he brushes his private with her's making them break the kiss so they could moan. Once that pleasurable feeling passes, an idea comes to Peter, it could work, but he would of course need to ask Kitty if she's ok with it. Before Peter could speak Kitty had pulled him down into another heated kiss. After a minute, they broke apart and Peter spoke, "I have an idea."
"What is it," Kitty breathed out
"Just another way to make this more enjoyable," Peter said
"What could be more enjoyable than this? Other than sex of course," Kitty said
"If you let me, I can show you, don't worry there is no penetration involved," Peter said
"Peter, I never have to worry when it comes to you. I trust you Peter, and if you think that I'll enjoy this then I'm up for it," Kitty said smiling at her boyfriend, her trust in him is absolute, she knows that he would never do anything that would hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable. His actions so far have proven that. Why should she worry?
"Ok, tell me if you are uncomfortable though ok," Peter said
"Of course," Kitty reassured
"Ok," Peter said, then to Kitty's surprise he thrusted his hips forward, his covered private crashing into her's but with more force.
Kitty gasped in pleasure, that felt so amazing. Seeing the positive response that he got Peter gives another thrust, "Peter," Kitty moans out as Peter keeps on thrusting making Kitty give a chorus of moans at the pleasure between her legs.
"It this…ok…Kitty," Peter said between his thrusts.
"Yes," Kitty said as she then wrapped her arms and legs around Peter bringing him closer to her, trying to get him deeper, if possible, "Oh god yes, harder Peter."
"Harder," Peter asks, getting a nod from Kitty.
"Harder," Kitty said, doing as his girlfriend wants Peter puts more strength in his thrust making Kitty scream in pleasure, "AAAHHHHH." Peter keeps up the thrusting his covered cock hitting Kitty's covered pussy, "AHH FUCK, FUCK PETER."
"KITTY, DAMMIT," Peter said as he gave another hard thrust making Kitty's back arch at the pleasure of it.
Kitty can feel it, her panties are soaked, there is no way she can go home wearing them. She doesn't care though; she can't really find it in herself to care. What she is feeling is the most amazing thing that she has ever felt in her life, she doesn't want it to end.
Peter himself feels great, he never thought that something could feel so good, every thrust that he makes just brings him more and more pleasure, he was hard before but now after this he's rock hard. Deciding a change is in order, Peter gets up bringing Kitty up with him, he gets off the bed and then pins Kitty's back against his wall, because of this, he is able to speed up his hips and give harder thrusts.
"AHHHHH FUCK FUCKING DAMMIT, PETER, PETER, PETER," Kitty yelled in pleasure
"That's it Kitty…let it…all out…there is…no one…here who…can hear…you," Peter said between thrusts, he then remembers that he is holding Kitty by her ass and so squeezes it hard.
"PETER," Kitty yells in pleasure.
This goes on for a while Peter humping Kitty against the wall, both of them moaning, groaning, and yelling in pleasure. After a while Peter decides on a new position, "Kitty…I'm gonna…bring you…to the…bed, ok," Peter said as he thrusted. Kitty couldn't say anything due to her heavy breathing, the only indication that she heard him was a nod. Peter took Kitty from the wall and brought her to the bed all the while she thrusts her hips against his, trying to keep the pleasure going, not that he's complaining. As he got to the bed, Peter kissed Kitty which she returns, once the kiss broke Peter spoke, "I need you to get on the bed Kitty," Peter told his girlfriend.
Kitty is reluctant, not because she doesn't trust Peter, but because she doesn't want the pleasure to stop. She wants to continue to feel the intense pleasure that courses through her. But Peter has yet to let her down, if he wants her on the bed then that means that he may have something else in mind for her. Kitty gets more excited at the thought of what is in store. After that thought Kitty unwraps her legs and arms from Peter, she then allows herself to drop on the bed, her back against the mattress.
Peter takes a moment to admire the woman before him, from her slender legs to her dark blue panties, the wet spot clear as day. He looks up to her flat stomach, to her heaving chest which has her erect nipples poking through her bra, to her supple lips which are doing their best to get as much air as possible, to her beautiful blue eyes and lovely brown hair.
"Now what," Kitty breathes out snapping Peter from his thoughts.
"Now I need you to get on your hands and knees," Peter said
Kitty blushes a bit at what he asked but she did as she was told, she rolls herself on her stomach and then gets on her hands and knees, her head facing the backboard. She then looks back to see Peter standing there admiring her body, her ass in particular. Kitty can feel her heart speed up faster at what he might do to her. The excitement in her just keeps building.
As Peter admires Kitty's nice ass, he walks up and climbs on the bed himself, he then stops behind Kitty, and grabs her left ass cheek with his left hand, and her right with his right hand making her moan in pleasure. Peter massages Kitty's ass for a few minutes. "Peter…Peter…," Kitty moaned out, after massaging her ass Peter separates Kitty's cheeks a bit, he then leans down to where his mouth is next to her ear.
"You ready Kitkat," Peter asked
Kitty nodded, "Yes, go, do it," she said, getting back in position, Peter lined himself to where Kitty's butthole would be and then with a powerful thrust his cock hit its target, going in between her cheeks but because of their clothing he doesn't enter and only slams against her hole. "AHHHHH," Kitty screamed, now that he's between her ass cheeks Peter moves his hands to Kitty's hips and gave another powerful thrust making her scream again. Peter then establishes a rhythm which both he and Kitty enjoy very much due to the moans that come from them.
"Ohhh, Kitty," Peter groaned out in pleasure as he thrusted his hips.
"Ohhhh, ohhhh, Peterrrrrrr," Kitty moaned as she felt another powerful thrust, her ass being slammed by his hips. The bed underneath them is starting to rock with every thrust made. "OHHHH."
"OHHH, KITTY," Peter said as he gave a hard thrust.
"OH FUCK," Kitty said as Peter then grabs her and then pulls her up, her back against his chest. Peter moves his hands and squeezes Kitty's breasts with them. Kitty moans as Peter massages her breasts as he thrusts against her, Kitty thrusting back. They did this for a while until they both felt something building. "Oh god, Peter, I think, I think I'm gonna cum," she said
In response to that Peter increases his thrusts and becomes much rougher with Kitty's breasts, "Then come for me Kitty," Peter whispered in her ear as Kitty moans, "Come now," with that Peter gives one hard thrust and pinches Kitty's nipples hard.
"PETERRRRRRRRRRRR," Kitty yells her back arching as she orgasms soaking her panties even more as well as making her feel one of the greatest things in her life. After about thirty seconds of an orgasm Peter releases Kitty's breasts and she falls on the bed face first not even catching herself.
"Kitty," Peter said surprised that just happened, he expected her to at least catch herself.
Kitty didn't answer at first, she was too busy trying to catch her breath, she can feel her panties pushed between her butt cheeks, but she doesn't care that was amazing, she has never felt anything like that in her entire life. After a minute of gaining a semblance of composure Kitty props herself up and turns her head to look at Peter, "Wow…that was…wow," she breathes, she can feel sweat coming down her forehead.
"Yeah, that was great. So, you're ok, none of that was uncomfortable for you," Peter asked in concern.
Kitty smiled, "I'm better than ok, and believe me when a say that we are doing that again," she said making Peter smile, he's glad that Kitty enjoyed that, he enjoyed it too. As she looked at him Kitty noticed that Peter was still hard, and that's when she realized that he hadn't cum yet. Well that just won't do, as his girlfriend Kitty can't let Peter go without a proper orgasm courtesy of her, his loving and possibly becoming sex craved girlfriend. Can you even become sex craved when you haven't even had sex yet? "Come here," she said reaching her hand out to Peter. He grabbed her hand and came closer to her, using his arm as leverage, Kitty pulls herself up to her knees, she then wraps her arms around Peter's neck and kisses him. A kiss to which he happily returns. Once they break apart Kitty pushes Peter onto his back, she then looks at him with want in her eyes. Kitty crawls to Peter and climbs on top of him to where she is now straddling his hips, she can feel his erection against her ass. Normally something like this would be embarrassing and she'd be as red as her boyfriend's suit, but her lust, and desire is overriding any embarrassment, the only thing that she can think of is how much she wants it, but first. Kitty leans down and kisses Peter's lips, the kiss turns into making out. As they make out Kitty runs her hands on Peter's chest to his abs. Fuck, she loves feeling his chest, how hard and solid it is, it truly amazes her. After a couple more minutes of making out Kitty kisses down Peter's face to his neck, "My turn," she whispered, she then started to kiss, suck, lick, and bite Peter's neck making him moan. After a while of doing that Kitty kisses her way down Peter's neck and to his chest. She then starts to kiss all over Peter's chest, making him moan as he felt her soft kisses. Kitty then sits up and allows her hands to roam Peter's body, anywhere he touches her, she can touch him. As Kitty's hands roam, she eyes the man beneath her, his handsome face, his broad shoulders, his solid chest, his 6 pack rock hard abs, his strong arms, he looks so handsome, so hot, so sexy, so, "Delicious, you look so delicious," she said, she can't help but lick her lips.
"I think maybe we should go as werewolves, with how you look right now, I think it would fit," Peter said making Kitty smile in amusement, before they were doing this, she and Peter were out costume shopping again, trying to find the right costumes, no such luck though. After a couple of hours of shopping, they decided to go to Peter's for a while to hang out only to find out that his aunt wasn't home and wouldn't be until late. Seeing this as an opportunity, Peter and Kitty headed straight to his bedroom and started their romping which of course leads to now.
"I'm like this because I'm hungry Peter, and you are on my menu," Kitty said, she then leaned back down to Peter's chest and kissed it, after a couple more kisses Kitty does something surprising, she licks Peter's nipple making him jump a little in surprise. Giggling at the reaction, Kitty licks Peter's other nipple making Peter groan in pleasure. Kitty then takes out her tongue and licks down Peter's chest.
"Ohh, Kitty," Peter said as he felt Kitty's tongue slide down his chest.
Stopping for a moment Kitty spoke, "It's like I said Peter, you are delicious, and I was right, you are." Kitty then continued to slide her tongue down until she got to the hem of Peter's boxers, there she stopped and sat up. She looked at the hem of the boxers and then behind her to see Peter's erection, she really wanted that. Making up her mind Kitty gets up and moves just enough to where the erection was right in front of her. Eyeing the clothed erection Kitty's heart starts to pound through her chest, she could hear it. Making another decision Kitty grabs Peter's clothed cock, it was hard even through the boxers she could feel that much. She then starts to pump up and down making him moan in pleasure. Hearing this makes Kitty happy and aroused, in response Kitty speeds up her thrusts.
"OHHHH KITTY," Peter groaned out.
"That's it baby, enjoy what I'm giving you," Kitty said as she speeds up again making Peter moan louder, "That's it, moan for me Peter. Moan for me." And that's what Peter did. Kitty twisted the cock back and forth making Peter moan more. "Time for some real fun," Kitty then leans down and opens her mouth, however, just as she was about to a phone goes off stopping Kitty, she recognizes that ring, it's her phone. She grunts in annoyance, she should have turned that thing off, but she didn't, in case of an emergency, damn her being responsible. Giving another look at what is right in front of her, she wonders if she can put off the phone until she's done. The constant ringing, however, proves her otherwise, groaning in displeasure, Kitty sits up, she then gets off Peter and gets off the bed. Kitty then walks up to her discarded trousers and reaches into her pocket, taking out her phone. Unlocking the phone, Kitty answers it, putting it to her ear, "Hello," Kitty said
Xavier Institute, Jean's Room
"Kitty," Jean said
Peter's house
Kitty sighs, "What is it Jean," Kitty says trying to hide her annoyance.
Despite Kitty trying to hide it Jean can hear the annoyance in her voice, "Did I call at a bad time," Jean asked
Kitty turns to look at Peter, her eyes going to a certain part of his autonomy, "You could say that. What is it," Kitty asked
"Sorry, but it's 10:00 Kitty, I think it's time to come home, everyone is starting to wonder where you are, and I can only give out so many explanations till it stops working," Jean said as she sat on her bed.
Kitty sighs in disappointment, "Yeah ok, thanks Jean," she said
"No problem, I'll see you when you get here," Jean said
"Ok, bye," Kitty said
"Bye," Jean said
With that both women hung up their phones, ending the call. Kitty then turned to Peter who was sitting on the bed now. She walked up to him, climbed onto the bed, and stopped to where she was in front of him. Kitty wrapped her arms around Peter's neck and he around her back, they then kissed each other. Once the kiss ended Kitty spoke, "I got to go," Kitty said
"I'd figured," Peter said as he brushed Kitty's hair from her face to behind her ear.
"I don't want to leave, but I have to," Kitty said
"I know, don't worry about it," Peter reassured, "I'll call you in the morning. Ok?"
"Ok, I can't help but feel bad though that I wasn't able to take care of this for you," Kitty said as she grabbed Peter's still hard cock, giving it a few pumps.
Peter grunted in pleasure, "Don't worry about it, I can take care of this later," Peter said
Kitty grinned mischievously, "Feel free to think of me when you do," Kitty said making Peter laugh.
"Come on, I'll take you home," Peter said
"Ok," Kitty said, she released Peter and they both got out of the bed and gathered their clothes to change. As she gathered her clothes Kitty went to leave the room which Peter noticed.
"Where are you going," Peter asked raising an eyebrow.
Kitty turned to Peter, "Bathroom, unless you haven't noticed Peter, I am wearing wet panties, there is no way I am going home wearing these," Kitty said, she then noticed that Peter's boxers are also wet due to making constant contact to her underwear. "You look like you could use a change too. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go change," Kitty said leaving the room.
Peter smiled but decided that Kitty had the right idea and he himself decided to change his underwear before he put his clothes on.
Bathroom
As Kitty took off her underwear and started to put on her clothes she started thinking. 'Tomorrow would be three weeks since me and Peter started dating, and everything has been going so well between us,' Kitty thought, she has never been so happy as she is now, being with the man that she loves. She likes to think that she makes him as happy as he her. But in their short amount of time together, she can't help but notice how fast things have been going in their physical relationship. They almost had sex on their first date until she said stop, she just couldn't do it, not because she didn't want to but because she didn't think that they were in the right place in their relationship to do that. She still feels bad about that, but Peter has told her not too, even told her that he would have been upset if they had sex while she knew that she wasn't ready. That made her feel better. After their first date though she had contemplated for a while on how far she was willing to go and decided that she would let him touch her and see other parts of her. When they did that, she held no regrets. Then the day after Peter took it a little further by putting his hands under her trousers and squeezed her butt, that was more intense than the day before. At the end of the day, they had decided to take off all their clothes except their underwear, and that felt amazing. And now, days later they take things a step further. By what, dry humping each other? Yeah, things sure have been going fast, but Kitty honestly doesn't mind, actually considering how long they've known each other, and love each other she probably should have expected this. She can't help but wonder though. What is next for them? Is the next step sex itself? Kitty will admit, she is starting to feel more comfortable with the thought of having real sex with Peter, and not just fantasizing about it. But she still thinks it may be a while till they do have sex, till then though she can certainly have the next best thing which she guesses is dry humping.
Peter's Bedroom
Unknown to Kitty, Peter is having similar thoughts, he is happy with how things are going between them. He hates to admit it, but Harry was right, and he's glad that he took his advice and told Kitty how he felt. Knowing that Kitty loves him as much as he loves her has to be one of the best feelings in the world. But despite the love that they hold for each other, Peter can't help but wonder if they are going a little fast in their relationship. He's certainly enjoyed what has happened so far, and as far as he can tell so has Kitty, but he has to wonder if she is comfortable with the speed that they have been going. Perhaps he should talk about this with her.
Peter has just finished putting on his clothes when he heard a knock on the door, "Come in," Peter said, the door opened and in came Kitty wearing her usual clothes, as well as having her hair in her usual ponytail, Peter can't help but wonder if he could convince her to wear a low ponytail one day, like she used to.
"Hey, I'm ready," Kitty said
"Ok, let's get our shoes on and I'll take you home," Peter said
After they got their shoes on, Peter and Kitty exited the room and headed downstair. Once they were downstairs, Peter opened the door for Kitty. "Why, thank you," she said as she went through.
"No problem," Peter said as he exited after Kitty, closing the door behind him, and locking it.
Outside
After locking the door, the couple headed to Peter's car, once they got in the car, Peter started it up and took it out of PARK. He then drove them out of the driveway and headed to the institute. They spent a couple of minutes in that comfortable and intimate silence. They are more used to the silence now than they were in the beginning. However, after a while of silence Peter figured that now would probably be a good time to talk to her about their relationship. "That was fun," Peter said getting Kitty's attention, "Back there in my room, what we did, that was fun," he clarified.
Kitty smiled and blushed as she thought back to what they did, now that her head is clearer, she can't believe that she was gonna do that, not to say that she has never thought about it before, but she certainly never thought she'd ever get the courage to do what she almost did before Jean called. "Yeah, it was very fun," Kitty said
"And you were ok with it, what we did? You don't think it was moving too fast," Peter asked, getting the question out there.
Kitty had to think about it again, she had already thought about it in the bathroom, but there is nothing wrong with putting some more thought into it. After a minute of thinking she gave her answer, "I was ok with it, if that is what you are asking. Why do you think we may be going too fast?"
"Honestly, I don't have a problem with how fast we are going. I just want to make sure that you're ok with it, and that I'm not making you do anything that you don't want to do," Peter answered
Kitty smiled, "Don't worry Peter, despite some nervousness for obvious reasons, everything that we have done up to this point I have done willingly, and I have enjoyed thoroughly," Kitty said making Peter smile.
"That's good. I'm glad," Peter said
"So am I," Kitty answered, she then gained a thoughtful look, "Peter."
"Yeah," Peter said
"You know that worry goes both ways right," Kitty asked
"What do you mean," Peter asked curiously.
"What I mean is, that if at some point you are uncomfortable with how fast or where our relationship is going, I want you to tell me. I don't want you to do anything that will make you feel uncomfortable. If that point ever comes promise me that you'll tell, no matter what," Kitty said
"I promise Kitty," Peter said
Kitty smiled at the answer, "Good. I know that you want to make me happy Peter, but I want to make you happy too," she said
"I know you do," Peter said as he grabbed Kitty's hand with his squeezing it, getting a squeeze back. The rest of the drive was done in silence, with the occasional conversation, until finally they got to their destination. Peter parked the car; they weren't that far from Xavier's it should take Kitty about three minutes tops to get there. Peter looks at Kitty, "I'll talk to you tomorrow," he said
"Ok," Kitty said, they then leaned in and kissed each other, once they broke apart, they leaned back, and Kitty opened the door. "Bye, I love you." She then got out of the car.
"Love you too, bye," Peter said
Kitty closed the door and walked off headed to the institute. Peter took his car out of PARK and drove off heading back to his house.
Xavier's Institute
The door to the institute opens and in comes Kitty, after she closes the door, she looks around and sees that no one is around, they're either all asleep or somewhere else in the mansion. That is good for her. That means that she won't have to answer any questions that she currently has no answers to. Not wasting any time Kitty heads upstairs, once there she walks through the hall heading to her and Rogue's room. After she passes one room, the door opens behind her and Jean exits, she looks to see the brown-haired girl.
"There you are," Jean said making Kitty jump a little.
Kitty turns around and sees the telepath, "Jean, hey," she said
"It's about time you got here," Jean said as she walked up to Kitty.
"Sorry, but it's not like New York is a five-minute drive. Is anyone suspicious," Kitty asked
"They were getting suspicious, but I was just able to convince everyone that there was nothing to worry about and that you probably got held up with some late-night shopping," Jean said making Kitty sigh in relief, suddenly Jean smells something, "What's that smell?"
"What," Kitty asked
"That smell, what is it," Jean asked as she followed it, when she does, she discovers that it was Kitty. "Why do you smell like that?"
Kitty blushed in embarrassment, "Um, well, you see," Kitty stammered trying to find an answer for the question, there was no way that she was telling Jean what she and Peter were doing. Quickly Kitty lifted her wrist to look at it, "Oh would you look at the time, I better go, got school tomorrow, thanks for covering for me Jean, goodnight," Kitty then turns around and hurries away.
"Wait, Kitty. You're not wearing a watch," Jean said, however Kitty is already at her room and phases through the door causing Jean to huff. She then turns around and heads to her own room to go to sleep as well. She has classes to get ready for too.
Monday, October 25, 6:30 am
When it was just her, Jean, Rogue, Scott, Kurt, Evan, Xavier, Logan, and Storm, mornings at the institute had been chaos. When Mr. McCoy and the New Mutants came into the picture it just became even more chaotic than it was then. Well Mr. McCoy didn't cause any havoc if anything he helped in trying to tame it. But now that Xavier is taking in more mutant children, well Kitty's not sure if there is a word for what this is, apocalyptic maybe. Everyone was running around trying to get ready for school, kids were hogging the bathroom, getting in each other's way when getting breakfast, there was yelling, banging, complaining, arguing. It was a mad house, thankfully Kitty didn't have to wait for her shower, she was able to get one not long ago, she had to cheat and phased through the person who was about to enter, she got cussed out, but she ignored it. What can she say, if that person had her powers, they'd do it too. Now Kitty was dressed, she was inside the kitchen trying to figure out what to get, after a moment of contemplating she decided to have some fruit loops. After getting the necessary items, Kitty makes herself a bowl of Fruit Loops. After she put the milk and cereal back, Kitty takes her bowl and goes to the dining room to eat with everyone.
In the dining room there were kids sitting at the table eating their breakfasts. Looking around Kitty sees a seat next to Rogue, moving quickly Kitty sits next to the girl, "Hey," Kitty said
"Hey," Rogue said as she eats a bowl of cereal herself.
"Busy morning," Kitty said as she eats her cereal.
"Yeah, Ahh swear Ahh am so tempted of just gettin' breakfast on the way ta school from now on," Rogue said
"Sounds easier, but what about the breakfast rush," Bobby said as he walks up to them and sits across from the girls. "Hey girls," he greeted
"Hey Bobby," Kitty and Rogue said
"You're looking beautiful this morning Kitty," Bobby complimented making Kitty smile.
"Thanks Bobby, that's sweet," Kitty said as she took a bite of cereal.
"Not as sweet as you," Bobby flirted making Rogue roll her eyes, Bobby has been flirting with Kitty ever since he got word of her breakup with Lance, yet Kitty hasn't noticed a single one of his attempts. After fifteen minutes of eating their food the voice of Professor Xavier is heard in their heads.
"To me my X-Men," Xavier said
Looking at each other Kitty, Rogue, and Bobby got up, and headed to the war room. Once there, they saw Scott and Jean there, along with Logan, Storm, Mr. McCoy, and Professor Xavier. "What going on," Bobby asked
"Let's wait for Kurt then we'll begin," Xavier answered
After a couple of minutes of waiting Kurt comes rushing in. "Sorry, sorry, I vas in zee shower ven I got zee call," Kurt apologized
"It is ok Kurt, now that everyone is here, we can begin," Xavier answered getting a nod from Scott who steps up.
"Last night a mutant was detected on Cerebro," Scott said
"His name is Telford Porter, he is eighteen years old, his father is Edward Porter and his mother is Nataly Porter, she however is deceased," Xavier said
"What happened," Kitty asked
"An accident sadly took her life," Xavier answered
"So, we're going to recruit this guy then," Bobby asked
Xavier nodded, "Scott, Kurt, and Kitty will go and see this recruit, if you need help then call," Xavier said
"You're not coming with us professor," Scott asked getting a head shake from Xavier.
"I believe that you can handle the situation, if you need help then call and we will come," Xavier said
"What are the rest of us gonna do," Bobby asked
"The rest of you will head to school and go on with your day. Be ready in case, till then Scott, Kurt, Kitty, you leave in ten minutes," Xavier informed
"Where are we going," Kitty asked
"Boston, Massachusetts, you will receive the rest of the information on the jet," Xavier informed
"Of course, professor," Scott said
"That is all," Professor Xavier said, the room then dispersed leaving just Xavier, Ororo, and Logan.
X-Wing
Kitty and Kurt were sitting in their chairs while Scott was heading to the bridge to get ready to take off and head to Boston. As she was in her seat Kitty couldn't help but notice that Scott had his laptop with him. "What's with the laptop," she asked
Scott smiled, "We don't know how long we'll be in Boston, I'd figure it would be a good idea to bring it for classes," he answered.
"Man, you are so lucky Scott. Online school, zat sounds awesome," Kurt said
"It certainly has its advantages," Scott said as he sits down in the pilot seat and starts up the jet. The X-Wing then takes off into the air, its destination Boston, Massachusetts.
Setting the jet on autopilot Scott unbuckles himself and heads to the back with Kitty and Kurt. When he enters, Scott sees his two teammates on their phones, Kurt looks like to be watching a video, and Kitty, with all the typing that her thumbs are doing, looks like she may be texting someone. Scott can see a wide smile on Kitty's face as she texts the person. Now that Scott thinks of it, Kitty has had that smile on her face for weeks now and she seems much happier than she was when she and Lance broke up. Heh looks like she finally got over the bastard. That's good, he was starting to worry about Kitty. Scott clears his throat to get his two teammates' attention on him, "It won't take us long to get to Boston, so let's take this time and go over what we know about Telford," Scott said getting confirmations from his teammates who put their phones away. Scott walks over to a seat next to Kurt and sits down, "So here's what we know," Scott said
Boston, Massachusetts, Porter Residence
A man with tan skin, black hair, brown eyes with a green buttoned up shirt on was sitting at a desk counting money. It went from one-dollar bills to one-hundred-dollar bills. "2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800, 2900, 3000," the man said continuing his counting as two men stood in front of his desk watching him lay down the money.
"I can't believe that we were able to get all of this money, I swear Eddy ever since that kid of yours became a mutant, we've been hitting the big time," one of the men in the room said
The man behind the desk, Eddy smiled, "I know Donald, we've certainly come far from robbing ATMs and holding up gas stations, that's for sure," he said as he laid out the money.
"The best part is, no one even knows that it's us, I passed by the bank today, they had news cameras and everything, all wondering how we even did it," Donald said
"And no one will, right," Eddy said as he looked at the two men.
"Of course," the other man, Kenny said
"Where is that kid of yours anyway," Donald asked curious.
"School," Eddy said
"What's that kid doing in school? With his abilities, he doesn't need that place," Kenny asked
"It's necessary," Eddy said as he continued counting the money.
School
Telford was in history class listening to his teacher drone on about World War II, well he wasn't really paying attention he was thinking of last night at the bank robbery. That bank was one of the biggest in Boston and they were able to rob it without having to worry about security, all because of him. He's noticed that his dad is getting a bit more daring with his schemes, whether it's robbing people or even going after them. He can't help but wonder what his father's plan is, what he is hoping to accomplish. The teacher's voice cut Telford from his thoughts.
"Telford," the teacher said
"Yeah," Telford answered looking at the teacher.
"Can you tell me any of the names of the Howling Commandos," the teacher asked, all she got in response was silence, "Honestly Telford, you need to pay attention," she reprimanded
"Yes ma'am," Telford responded
"Anyone else," the teacher said as she looked around the room, "Go ahead Adrian."
Telford sighed as he glared out the window.
Somewhere in Boston on a rooftop
The X-Wing lands on the rooftop, the door to the jet opens and out comes Scott, Kitty, and Kurt, with his image inducer on. Once they were off the plane Scott looks at his friends, "Alright, listen up, I'm gonna head on over to the residence and talk to the father. Kurt, Kitty, you two will head to the kid's school, and see if you can talk to Telford, become his friends. That way when it is revealed why we are here then it may be easier to convince him to come with us," Scott said
"Kid? I vouldn't say he's a kid Scott," Kurt said as he looks at a picture.
"Yeah, he's our age," Kitty said
"You know what I mean. Now let's go," Scott said, he then looked at Kurt, "Kurt, if you wouldn't mind."
"Not at all," Kurt said as he placed his hands on both Kitty and Scott's shoulders, a second later they disappear from the roof in a puff of blue smoke and appear on the ground with the same smoke.
"Alright, I'll head to his house, and talk to the father," Scott said
"And ve'll head to zee school and talk to Telford himself," Kurt said, with that they separated heading to their separate destinations.
Ten minutes later
Kitty and Kurt are walking down the sidewalk when they pass a bank that has people gathered around it. "Wonder what that is about," Kitty said as they walked over to the gathered people. The closer they got, they noticed news vans, police cruisers, reporters, and the police themselves.
"Looks like trouble," Kurt said as they squeezed through the group to get a better look. When they get a proper view of the situation, they see the area sealed off with police tape. There is a reporter and camera man, reporting on whatever was happening. If it has to do with a bank, then it is probably a robbery.
Seeing a man with an officer, Kitty had to guess that must be an employee or even the owner of the bank. Deciding that they should know the situation Kitty taps Kurt getting his attention, "That guy has to be the owner, what do you say we get a little more information," Kitty said
"Shouldn't vee go to zee school and let zee police handle zis," Kurt asked making Kitty frown.
"It's just to see what's going on. Who knows maybe we can help," Kitty said
"Veell, ok," Kurt said making Kitty smile, she and Kurt then left the group and headed to a nearby alley. Once in the alley, Kitty grabs Kurt and he teleports them near the man and officer.
"I just don't understand it, the vault was locked, and you say no one tampered with it," the man said
"That's what we gathered sir," the officer answered
"Then how did they steal the money, they couldn't have just magically appeared in the vault," the man said
"I don't know sir, but I assure you that we will investigate and retrieve the stolen money," the officer said
The man sighed, "I hope so," he said
Once they heard all they needed to hear Kurt teleported himself and Kitty back to their previous location. They then went back to walking, "Zat's certainly interesting," Kurt said
"Yeah, it is. How do you rob a bank without opening the safe," Kitty said
"Maybe zey did tamper vith zee safe and zey vere just good enough to not leave any evidence. You'd have to be some kind of master sief to do zat," Kurt said
"It's certainly a mystery that's for sure. We can figure that out later though. Right now, we need to focus on Telford," Kitty said as they approached and stopped in front of the school.
"So, vat do vee do now," Kurt asked
"Good question," Kitty said crossing her arms over her chest. What do they do? It's not like they can go in the school. They don't go there, it would be too suspicious, and if they were to be recognized there's no telling what would happen. This school could be pro-mutant or anti-mutant. If it's anti-mutant, they could be causing a lot of problems for the guy. Kitty takes out her cell phone to check the time. They then hear the bell ring.
School
Telford is walking down the hall heading to his locker to get what he needs for class. He really hates school, especially his next class, chemistry. He hates chemistry, the periodic table, what chemical he can and cannot use. It's so complicated, he doesn't understand any of it. Why did his dad make him take this class? The worst part is that there is a test today and last night's heist used up the study time that he needed. Well, he's failing, Telford then got an idea. Just then a hand slaps Telford's back, "Hey bro, what's up," a boy said
Telford looks to see three kids his age, the first one, the one who spoke is a 5'7 caucasian male with red hair, green eyes, he is wearing a red checkered shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. The second is a 5'5 black male with black hair, brown eyes, he is wearing a white t-shirt that has the Nike's logo on it, blue jeans and white shoes. The final kid is a 5'5, thin, white female with blonde hair, brown eyes, she is wearing a purple crop top with torn jeans, and black shoes.
"Liam. What's happenin," Telford said
"Just got done listening to another boring math lecture, really not looking forward to History class," Liam said
"Same, Spanish is gonna murder me," The girl said
"You mean us don't ya, Hilary," the second guy said
"Whatever Martin," the girl, Hilary said
"Well, you know, I was just about to ditch school. Feel like coming along," Telford said grinning, that got him grins from the two boys, and a hesitant look from Hilary.
"You sure that's a good idea Telford. You realize the trouble we could get in," Hilary said
"Nothing will happen, promise," Telford said
"Well," Hilary said hesitantly, she then sighed, "Ok, let's go." The four then left.
Outside the school
One of the windows of the school opens and Martin takes a quick look outside, seeing no one Martin looked at his friends, "Coast is clear," he said, with that he hopped out the window followed by Telford, Liam, and finally Hilary.
"Alright, let's get out of here," Telford said smirking, they then started walking away. What they didn't know was that their exit was caught by Kitty who was walking around the school with Kurt.
"Kurt," Kitty said getting Kurt's attention, "Look," Kitty pointed at the group, their attention immediately going toward the leader.
"Zat's him, but vat's he doing outside of school," Kurt asked
That made Kitty frown, "Looks like he's skipping class," she said, not at all liking what she is seeing.
"Vell either vay, vee should go introduce ourselves, right," Kurt asked
Kitty was hesitant, just looking at the group she could tell that they are not the type of people who she and Kurt would normally associate with, and she had a feeling that the feeling is mutual. But they came here to recruit the guy and bring him to the institute and that is what they are gonna do. "Alright, let's make a new friend," she said, Kitty and Kurt then followed the group of people. "EXCUSE ME," Kitty said getting the groups' attention, "Can you hold on a second please? We'd like to talk to you," Kitty said as she and Kurt approached.
"Yeah, what do you want," Telford said looking at the two kids that he doesn't know but look oddly familiar for some reason. He was especially checking out the girl, she was hot. A quick look at his friends he saw that Liam and Martin were also grinning like mad as they eyed the girl. Looks like they thought the same thing.
"You're Telford Porter right," Kurt asked Telford.
"Yeah, what of it," Telford deadpanned
Kitty steps forward then, "Hi, my name is Kitty Pryde, if we could we'd like to talk to you for a moment, alone if you don't mind," she said
"No thanks, I don't want whatever you're selling," Telford declined
"We're not selling anything, we'd just like to talk," Kitty said
"I don't care get lost, I'm not interested," Telford said making the two frown at his attitude.
"If you could just give us a moment," Kurt said but was interrupted by Liam.
"Hey nerd, he said get lost, now how about you do it before I make ya," Liam said as he cracks his knuckles making his message clear to the two, but they weren't intimidated, they handle hostile mutants on a daily basis, they can handle this thug.
"Actually," Telford said smiling making the two mutant heroes smile thinking that he may talk with them. They were wrong, because just then Telford walks up to Kitty and pinches her chin, "Why don't you ditch this loser and come with us? I promise I can show you a much better time than him," Telford said suggestively
That made Kitty scowl, suddenly Telford's form turned into Lance, filled with anger she wacked Telford's hand away from her face much to his surprise. What did he think that would work? "Don't touch me," she snapped, she wanted to say that she had a boyfriend but held herself because Kurt was there.
"Voa Kitty," Kurt said pulling Kitty back.
Telford snorted, "Whatever, your loss," he said
Kitty scoffed, "Please, I can think of five people I would rather be with than you. Heck your girlfriend seems more up my speed," she said as she looked at the girl. Telford scowled at the insult.
"Kitty," Kurt reprimanded, they came there to try and befriend Telford and Kitty's remark isn't helping. Kurt then looked at Telford, "Look, vee know about your gift."
"What," Telford said surprised, they don't mean?
"Vee have gifts to, just like you," Kurt explained, "If you come vith us, vee can…," but Kurt was interrupted by Telford shoving him to the ground.
"Kurt," Kitty exclaimed
"No, I don't want to listen," Telford said angrily
"HEY," Kitty said stepping in front of Kurt, "Back off. Now," she ordered, the two mutants locked eyes and stared each other down, angry eyes meeting determined ones.
"Just take the bitch out already Telford," Liam said
"Try it," Kitty dared as she stared Telford down.
Telford stared Kitty down for a few more minutes, until finally he broke the gaze and turned his back to the two, he glanced at them, "Stay away from me," he said then he walked off followed by his friends.
"Vell, zat vent vell," Kurt said as he stood up.
Kitty turned to Kurt, "You ok," she said
"Yeah, I'm good, hope Scott has better luck zan vee do though," Kurt said
"Come on, let's head to the X-Wing," Kitty said as she started walking away.
"Shouldn't vee follow zem," Kurt said making Kitty stop.
Kitty turned her head to look at Kurt, "Why," Kitty asked
"Vellll," Kurt said
Kitty rolled her eyes, "Come on Kurt," Kitty said as she started walking in the direction that Telford and his group went. The only reason she's doing this is to make sure that he doesn't abuse his powers, they don't need someone like him giving mutants a worse reputation.
Porter Residence
Eddy is sitting at his desk with his laptop out typing on the keyboard while Donald and Kenny just sit down across from him counting their money. "So, what's our next score boss," Donald asked
"Our next score is this," Eddy said as he turned his laptop around to show a giant building, on the building it says Hammer Technologies.
"Hammer Technologies. Are you serious," Kenny asked
"Yep, with the tech and weapons that Justin Hammer has, think of how much money that we could make selling them to the highest bidder," Eddy said
"So, what, we're going into arms dealing now," Kenny asked skeptically
Eddy frowned, "We go into whatever I say we go into," he said
"If we wanna steal someone's gear, why not steal from Stark Industries," Donald said
"I'd rather not deal with the Avengers," Eddy said, there is no way that they could stand up to the Avengers even with his son's powers. "We go after Hammer, then we'll see what happens. Any objections?", seeing neither man saying anything, Eddy takes that as a no, "Good, now we," but Eddy was interrupted by a knock on the front door.
"You expecting anyone Eddy," Donald asked
"No," Eddy answered, he then got up from his chair, "I'll be right back," Eddy then walked out of the room while closing the door heading to answer the front door.
Outside
Scott is at the front door knocking, "Hold on a minute," a male voice came from behind the door. The door opened and Eddy is shown, "Yes?"
"Hello Mr. Porter, my name is Scott Summers, I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time. I'd like to talk to you about your son Telford," Scott said
"Telford? Is he ok," Eddy asked in faux concern
"He's fine," Scott reassured the father.
"Then what is this about," Eddy asked curiously
"Maybe we can take this inside, what we have to talk about is very sensitive," Scott said
"Of course, come on in," Eddy said, inviting Scott inside.
Somewhere in the City
Telford, Hilary, Martin, and Liam were all hanging out near a store all talking, Martin and Liam were smiling, Hilary looked concerned, and Telford looked contemplative.
Not too far behind the group are Kitty and Kurt watching them, there to make sure that Telford doesn't abuse his powers. Kurt watches with interest while Kitty watches annoyed, she'd rather not be there. Her first meeting with Telford and already he reminds her of Lance which is not a good thing.
"Vonder vat zey are up too," Kurt said
"Nothing good," Kitty said
With Telford and his friends, "Come on man, just go for it," Martin said to Telford.
"Do it bro," Liam encouraged
"It's a bad idea," Hilary said
"Don't be such a buzz kill Hilary, besides it was your idea anyway, it's all in fun," Liam said
"Yeah, until someone get's hurt," Hilary said
Telford sighed, "Alright, I'll do it," he said getting smiles from the two boys and a disappointed look from Hilary. With that Telford goes and walks up to a woman and walks into her path intentionally running into her making her drop her purse. "Whoa, I'm so sorry," Telford apologized as he kneels down with the woman to help her gather her things.
"It's ok, no harm done," the woman said
As they stood up, Telford picked up the woman's purse and hands it to her, "Here you go, and again sorry about that," he said
The woman smiled, "It's ok really, thank you for helping me pick everything up," the woman said
"Don't mention it, have a nice day," Telford said
"You too," the woman said as she walked away.
Telford himself walked back to his awaiting friends, "Well," Martin asked in response Telford reaches in his pocket and takes out a wallet making his two friends smile.
"Telford, you are the man," Liam said
"I didn't even see you reach in her purse," Martin said
"That's the point," Telford said
Seeing the wallet Kitty goes to approach Telford and take back the wallet but is stopped by Kurt, "Vait," Kurt said
"Wait? For what? He stole that woman's wallet Kurt," Kitty said
"But he didn't use his powers," Kurt said
"So, what? Why does that matter," Kitty asked
"So, vee are supposed to make friends vith him, not and try to get him arrested. Ve'll make him give back the vallet once he is recruited," Kurt said
Kitty scoffed, "If we recruit him," she said
Porter Residence
Eddy and Scott are shown sitting down on a leather couch in the living room, "So, what can I do for you Mr. Summers," Eddy asked
"Scott please," Scott corrected, "I wanted to talk about your son."
"My son? What about him," Eddy asked
"Strange things have been happening to your son, right? Things that he can't explain, that seem to have no logical explanation," Scott said
Eddy was instantly on guard; he knew what Scott was talking about. He doesn't know how this boy knows, but he does. The question is what is he gonna do about it?
Scott noticed the guarded look, "Mr. Porter, you don't have to worry about anything. I won't tell anyone what Telford can do or what he is," he said trying to gain the man's trust. "Do you know what Telford is Mr. Porter?"
"What he is," Eddy repeated
Scott nodded, "Mr. Porter, your son is a mutant," he said
"A mutant," Eddy repeated getting another nod from Scott.
"Yes, I'm a mutant as well, my mutant abilities are concussive blasts from my eyes, however sadly I can't control it," Scott said, he then tapped his glasses, "These glasses, keep my blasts contained, they allow me to go out and live my life without endangering others."
"Interesting," Eddy said
"The place where I got these glasses, the Xavier Institute," Scott said but was interrupted.
"Wait! You said the Xavier Institute," Eddy said getting very nervous.
Scott noticed how the man became nervous at the mention of the Xavier Institute, but decided to brush it off, Mr. Porter wouldn't be the first parent who had gotten nervous or even defensive when they would approach. "Yes, I am from the Xavier Institute, I was a student there for many years. Professor Xavier helped me and other young mutants to harness and control our powers, so we could go out and live our lives without being afraid. At the Xavier Institute Telford will be surrounded by people who understand what he's going through. He won't have to hide who he is," Scott said
Eddy barely heard a single word though all his mind kept doing was going to a single thought, "The Xavier Institute, that's where the X-Men are," he said
Scott sighed, he should have expected this, it would only make sense that Mr. Porter would connect the X-Men with the Institute, "Yes, that is where the X-Men come from. I myself am the leader of the X-Men," he said
"Y-you are," Eddy asked trying to keep himself from looking alarmed. The X-Men are here, and they're looking for his son. They want to take him away, his way to the top.
"I am," Scott said nodding
Trying to keep himself calm Eddy speaks, "Well, I'm sorry Mr. Summers, but I do not want my son being an X-Man. It's too dangerous," Eddy said
"I understand your concern, but you must know," Scott said but was interrupted
"I'm sorry Mr. Summers but I have to say no," Eddy said
"Sir please, if you'll just listen," Scott implored
"I'm done listening, now leave," Eddy said his mask slipping a bit.
Scott frowned; he'd like to continue to argue his case, but he knows that he can't stay here. If he doesn't do as Mr. Porter says and leaves, then he has every right to call the police and that is the last thing that they need right now. With that thought Scott gets up and heads to the door followed by Eddy. When Scott is at the door, he turns around to look at the man, he then takes out a business card and hands it to Eddy, "My friends and I will be here for a few days. Please think about what I said, we could help your son," Scott said, he then turned around and walked away.
Once Scott was far enough away, Eddy closed the door, once the door was closed, he finally let his emotions out by screaming and punching the wall in front of him making a hole. "Damit, damit, damit, DAMIT," he said in frustration, just then he gets a phone call, he picks up the phone, looks at the caller ID and sees it's the school. Great, what did the idiot do now? Taking a breath to try and regain his nerves, Eddy answers the call, "Yes."
Somewhere else in the city
Sometime later Scott is shown walking on the rooftop heading toward the X-Wing, he walks up the ramp and enters the jet to see Kitty and Kurt sitting in the seats on their phones Kurt looked like he was watching something while Kitty who had headphones on looked like she might be reading.
When Scott entered Kurt looked up, "Hey Scott how did it go," Kurt asked as Kitty took off her headphones to listen.
"Not good," Scott said as he sat down on one of the chairs. "The father listened at first, but once he found out that I was from the Institute and an X-Man he immediately said no and told me to leave. Didn't even let me explain everything. What about you guys, any luck with the kid?"
"Same results," Kitty simply said, not an ounce of disappointment in her voice which both Scott and Kurt noticed.
"He vas vith his friends, vee tried to get him alone, but he refused," Kurt said
"He said that he wasn't interested in what we were selling. The guy needs a major attitude adjustment," Kitty said as she went back on her cellphone. She wasn't interested in this.
"It didn't help our efforts ven Kitty pretty much smacked him," Kurt said making Scott glare at Kitty.
"You smacked him," Scott said
Kitty looked up from her phone and glared, "He was making a pass at me," Kitty excused, "He told me to ditch Kurt which he called a loser, and asked me to come with him and he could show me a good time, all of the while he pinched my chin, as if I was his girlfriend or something. The most insulting part is that he actually thought it would work. That I would go with him, and what let him have his way with me. Hell no, I would rather be eaten by wolves," Kitty ranted getting angrier the more she spoke.
"Ok, calm down Kitty. I understand," Scott said trying to calm Kitty down, this is not a time to reprimand her, he has to admit that Kitty did have a right to do what she did, he's fairly sure that if he was there, he would have stepped in himself.
"And when Kurt pretty much revealed that we knew that he was a mutant and that we were mutants too, he pushed Kurt to the ground and told us to leave him alone. Honestly it looked like he was ready to attack Kurt," Kitty said
Scott turned his head toward Kurt, "Is that true," he asked getting a shrug from Kurt.
"More or less, but I'm fine really. I've had much vorse, besides Kitty stepped in front of me and defended me. Telford zen valked away," Kurt said
"We then spent a good two hours watching him, making sure he doesn't abuse his powers," Kitty said, she wasn't a fan of what she saw. When she saw him steal a woman's wallet from her purse, it was only because Kurt stopped her that she didn't go up to him and make him give back the money. "We didn't see him use his powers, so unless his powers are so subtle that we couldn't notice, then we still don't know what he can do."
Scott was quiet for a moment, it looked like this was gonna be harder than he thought. Both Telford and his father seemed to want nothing to do with them. Should they leave? They can't just harass them; it wouldn't look good if three X-Men are caught harassing a father and his son. That could cause them some serious problems, and they still have to be careful about the way they act. The mutant attacks that have happened haven't been doing them any favors. But he did say that they were staying for a couple of days, maybe Telford and his father would talk about it and hear them out, other parents have done that as well. Once the shock wears off and their heads are clearer, they think more rationally and decide to hear them out. Perhaps Mr. Porter and Telford will be the same way.
"So, when do we leave," Kitty asked as she got back on her cell phone.
"In three days," Scott answered much to Kitty's surprise.
"What! Why," Kitty asked getting up from her seat.
"Three days will give Telford and his father enough time to get over their shock and finally let everything sink in. Once that is done, I'm sure that they'll talk about it and what they will do. Then they'll contact us and finally hear us out," Scott explained
"And if zey don't do zat," Kurt asked
"Then on our final day, we'll approach them and try one more time. If that doesn't work, then we'll leave. We can't force Telford to come with us, no matter how much we'd like him too," Scott said
Kitty scoffed as she sat back down and went back to her phone, "Speak for yourself," she said as she scrolled through.
"Whatever is on that phone must be really important to make you dismiss this mutant," Scott commented, mentioning Kitty's sudden lack of interest. Kitty looks at Scott and gives him her phone to look at. Scott looks at the phone and sees that Kitty was on a news website that had multiple news articles and videos on it. "And what am I looking at," Scott asked as he skimmed through some of the articles. From what he can tell a lot of these articles are about robberies and other crimes that have been going on.
"Earlier today on our way to that thug's school," Kitty said getting frowns from Scott and Kurt at her description of Telford, "Kurt and I walked past a huge crowd, we were curious on what was going on especially when we caught a news crew and reporters. We checked it out and discovered that a bank had been robbed. We decided…," Kitty said but was interrupted by Kurt.
"You decided," Kurt corrected making Kitty roll her eyes.
"Fine, I decided that we needed more information and so I had Kurt teleport us near an officer who was taking an employee's statement and we found out something very interesting," Kitty said
"Vee did," Kurt asked getting an annoyed look from Kitty.
"Yes, we did," Kitty said
"What did you find out," Scott asked curiously.
"That all the money was stolen and there was no evidence of the safe being tampered with. It was almost like the robbers appeared in the safe itself and took the money," Kitty said making Scott hum, "I got curious about what was going on with the bank robbery and found out that this wasn't the only robbery, plenty of other places have been robbed as well, banks, jewelry stores, homes, and more," Kitty said
"It says here that it was like they appeared in the building. None of the locks were tampered with whatsoever," Scott said as he read the articles. He was curious now.
"Even the electronic ones? Some of those places must have electronic locks. Isn't zere a record zat zey could go srough to see ven the last time it vas used," Kurt asked
Kitty shook her head, "No dice, the electronic locks weren't touched at all," she said
"No one is this good, there has to be some kind of picture or something of them," Scott said
"Page two," Kitty said
Scott went to page two and there was a video that played. On the video Scott can see eight people going around the jewelry store breaking glass cases and loading the jewelry in their bags, when they were all done loading up the bags everyone started to form a group but was stopped by the guy who Scott assumed was the leader. The leader then looked up at the security camera, and smiled at it, he then gave it a two fingered solute before shooting it with his gun.
"Is that all," Scott asked
Kitty shook her head, "There are a few more images, the guys couldn't avoid the cameras forever, not that they tried every image and video that guy does the same thing," Kitty said
"Heh," Scott said
"It's weird right? These guys are always finding their way in these places without leaving an ounce of evidence on how," Kitty said
"Yeah, that's very weird," Scott agreed
"I was thinking, maybe instead of waiting around the hotel room like three bozos waiting to get an answer from the Porters we could use this time and help investigate this case. You know, maybe do some good while we're here," Kitty said
Scott sighed, "Kitty we're not here to stop a bunch of robbers," Scott said as he gave Kitty back her phone.
"But they're not just robbers Scott, according to some of these articles some of these guys may have committed murder. Don't you think we should do something about this," Kitty asked
Scott sighed, he saw some of those articles as well, and he feels for the people, he really does, but they're here to recruit someone to the institute not fight crime. Then again, those guys just appearing wherever they want without a shroud of how they did it, does seem kind of suspicious to Scott. These crimes might not just be committed by just ordinary people, sighing again, "I'll talk to the professor about it. That's all I can do," Scott said
Kitty smiled at that, hopefully the professor will let them investigate, she has to do something other than wait for that thug to contact them. Of course, she could call Peter but he's gonna be busy, Avengers training, internship, teaching the recruits. Kitty would love to see him teach, she could just imagine him in a collared shirt, khaki pants, and his glasses teaching in a classroom. Suddenly she imagines herself in a schoolgirl uniform, she's on his desk making out with him while he gropes her. Her breast, her butt, her thigh, and leg. He then moves his hand up her leg and under her skirt, heading straight between her legs. Right before she could go further, Kitty shakes herself from the daydream. Wow she must still be feeling the effects from last night's romp with Peter. They really must do that again. Kitty couldn't help but frown a little, why do they need Xavier's permission investigate, Peter doesn't need permission to do investigations. He's done multiple investigations; he told her about them. Still, she supposes she should be grateful.
"Ok, let's get a hotel room, and we'll call the professor later tonight," Scott said
"Right," Kurt and Kitty agreed, with that the three gathered their things, left the jet, and headed to find a hotel for their stay.
Porter Residence
Outside the Porter residence, Telford was walking through the yard on his way to the door. Today had been a pretty sweet day, despite those two kids approaching him and revealing that they know that he's a mutant. That was alarming, but they said that they were mutants too. Could that be true? Could they be mutants as well? That would be cool, to meet other mutants. Telford then remembered the girl and how she rejected him. He frowned at the memory, maybe it wouldn't be so cool, if all mutant girls were like her, who needs them. Besides his dad would never let him leave…but all things considered it is a nice thought.
Telford walks up the stairs and to the door, he takes out the keys and unlocks the door. He opened the door, and entered the house, once he was inside Telford closed the door. "Dad, I'm home," Telford said
"In here Telford," Eddy called from his office.
Telford walks to the office and enters, "Hey dad," he greeted
"Hello son how was your day today," Eddy said as he types on his laptop.
"Oh, you know, boring as always," Telford said as he turned around and walked away toward the living room.
"Oh," Eddy said as he closes his laptop, and gets up following his son.
"Yeah, had a chem test today, it was really hard. I think I aced it though," Telford said as he turned on the TV, just as Eddy entered the living room. Before Telford could do anything else he is forcefully turned around by his father to face him.
"You idiot, do you really think I'm that dumb," Eddy said as he grabbed Telford's shirt and then smacked him across the face knocking him to the ground.
"I-I don't," Telford stammered as he looked up at his father fearfully.
"The school called me Telford; they told me that you weren't in class today. Then I found out that Liam, Hilary, and Martin weren't in class either. You don't think I wouldn't have put it together," Eddy said as he then picked Telford up by the shirt, "That my son decided to skip school and goof off. I told you that you are to stay in school, no matter what."
"I-I'm sorry, it's just that chemistry test that we had today, and I wasn't prepared," Telford tried to explain
"And because you weren't prepared, you decided to skip school is that it," Eddy said
"Well maybe if I had time to study, but you keep bringing me with you to your crimes," Telford said with some heat.
"WHAT," Eddy said, he then grabbed Telford by the neck and slammed him against the wall making the mutant grunt in pain, "Are you saying that it's my fault? Is that what you're saying? It's because of me that we have this house, that we have food on the table every night. If it weren't for me and my crimes as you say, we'd have nothing. So, I suggest you show some respect you little brat," Eddy then threw Telford on the ground. He coughed trying to get oxygen back in his lungs, "Now tell me what happened and where you went and don't you dare lie to me," Eddy warned
Rubbing his neck Telford spoke, "When I was at my locker, I was dreading the chem test, so I decided that it would be better to skip. Just then Liam, Hilary, and Martin come up and they all talked about how they were dreading their next classes, so I decided to invite them along. After that we went to an abandoned classroom and Martin opened the window. He looked around making sure that the coast was clear, after he told us that the coast was clear we jumped out of the window and started to walk away. However, as we were walking, I heard someone calling out to us," Telford said
That caught Eddy's attention, "Oh," Eddy said, feeling a pit form in his stomach.
"Two kids, one boy, one girl, about my age. The boy was a nerd but the girl well she was hot," Telford said, the glare from his father told him to move on.
"The boy and the girl what did they say," Eddy said
"They tried to get me alone with them, but I said no that I wasn't interested in what they were selling. They continued to try and talk to me, but I refused. I tried to pull some moves on the girl figured she'd be good in bed, but she rejected me," Telford said frowning at how Kitty rejected him. How she smacked his hand away, and later said that she could think of five people that she would rather be with, even said Hilary was better than him. He doubts any one of them could do to her what he could have. "The nerd eventually told me that…," Telford stopped hesitating at telling his father, fearing his reaction.
"That what," Eddy asked
"He told me that they knew about my gifts. Said that they had gifts to," Telford said
That alarmed Eddy, so it was true, the X-Men are here. The two kids who approached Telford have to be that boy Scott's teammates. They're here, the X-Men are here to take Telford away from him. No, NO, he won't let that happen. Telford is his ticket to becoming the Kingpin of Boston.
"After he revealed that I pushed him to the ground and told him that I didn't want to listen, the girl got in front of me and protected the geek, we glared at each other, and Liam told me just to take her out. The girl actually dared me to try. I wasn't interested though, would have gained way too much attention and that is something that we don't want. Right," Telford asked
"Right," Eddy answered
"After that, I just walked away but not before telling them to stay away from me," Telford said
"Good, that's good. You did the right thing Telford, those two they could have done some serious damage," Eddy said
"You know who they are," Telford asked
"Yes. Earlier today before I got the phone call about you ditching, a boy came over today, he talked to me about you. He knew that you were a mutant, said that he could help you, wanted to bring you with him. I imagine that the two kids who you ran into are friends of this boy," Eddy said
"Who are they," Telford asked
"They're the X-Men," Eddy said surprising his son, "And one wrong move and they will ruin everything. You need to be careful Telford, don't trust them, and don't show them your powers," Eddy said
"But what if they approach me again," Telford asked
"Tell them to leave you alone. That you'll call the cops, things are still fragile with mutants, the X-Men can't afford bad publicity, and them following a boy and harassing him would certainly give them bad publicity," Eddy said, and they are so desperate to get everyone to accept mutants. Promoting mutant equality, hoping that one day mutants and humans can live together in peace. That will never happen, the only thing mutants are good for are being tools to do what the user wants. Just like Telford is his tool, he uses Telford to complete his job, after that he puts him away until he needs him again, and if by some way he gets broken then Eddy will just throw him away like he would any other tool. "You will not talk to them do you understand boy," Eddy told his son.
"Yes sir," Telford said
"Good, now get ready, we're heading over to the hideout to plan our next job," Eddy said as he turns around and starts to walk away.
"What is it this time," Telford asked, there are a lot of jobs that his father has them do. Attacking gangs to build rep, stealing, murder, heck even raping. He's never seen any of it though. All of it just to reach his goal which Telford doesn't even know yet.
Eddy stops and glances at his son, "You'll find out when we get there," Eddy said, he then faces forward and starts walking again, "Now come on, you can do your schoolwork when we're not planning."
Telford sighed, but he got up and followed his father out of the house.
Tipton Hotel, Scott and Kurt's room
Kitty, Kurt, and Scott were all in front of a desk, Scott was sitting in the chair and Kitty and Kurt were on either side of him. Scott's laptop is on the desk open, they were about to have a meeting with Professor Xavier and update him on what was happening. Scott looks at Kitty and Kurt, "You two ready," he asked, the two gave him nods in return, Scott then looked back at the camera, "Alright, let's do this." Scott then clicked his mouse on the call button and called the institute. They heard three rings until the screen turned on and Charles Xavier appeared on the screen.
"Scott, Kurt, Kitty, I'm glad that you called," Xavier said
"Hello professor," Scott said
"Hi," Kitty said waving at Xavier
"Hey Professor," Kurt said
"We're calling to give you an update on what has been happening so far," Scott said
"Good, how goes recruiting Mr. Porter," Xavier asked, in response the three X-Men looked at each other. Immediately Xavier got the message, "Ah, I see, not good then."
"Vee tried professor really vee did," Kurt said
"Perhaps you should tell me what happened and start from the beginning," Xavier suggested.
"Well, we arrived in Boston, but because Telford was in school, I decided to split up. I thought that it would be better that way. I sent Kurt and Kitty to the school to talk to and befriend Telford, I thought that if they gained his trust then perhaps he'd listen. I then went to his house to talk to his father, he invited me in, once we sat down, I started talking to him about how strange and unexplainable things were happening to Telford. He was immediately on guard, I reassured him that he didn't have to worry that I wasn't gonna tell anyone what he could do or what he was. I asked him if he knew what Telford was. I told him that Telford was a mutant. He didn't look too surprised at that; I'm guessing that he was expecting that. I then told him that I was a mutant and about my abilities, the problems that I have with them and how my glasses help me. I then told him that I got them from the Xavier Institute. That is when things went downhill," Scott said
"Oh, care to explain," Xavier asked
"He was surprised at first, I explained that I used to be a student at the institute and how you helped me and other students with our abilities so we could live our lives without fear. I told him that Telford would be surrounded by people who understand him and that he won't have to hide who he is," Scott said
"Sounds like everything vas going vell Scott," Kurt said
"Yeah, what happened," Kitty asked
"I told you guys, once he discovered that I was from the institute he immediately made the connection with the X-Men," Scott said
"What happened then Scott," Xavier asked
"Well, I told him that I was the leader of the X-Men, he was surprised, after that he told me that he didn't want his son becoming an X-Man, that it was too dangerous," Scott said
"But students don't have to become X-Men when they join or even New Mutants. It's their choice if they want to go out and fight. But they don't have too, they can just stay at the institute and learn how to use their powers. I mean even we were given a choice of whether or not we wanted to fight, we all just wound up saying yes," Kitty said
"Most of the newbies don't even go out, it's mostly us and the New Mutants out zere and none of us have gotten any new members," Kurt said
"I tried to tell him that, but he didn't let me explain. I tried to get him to let me explain but he told me to leave," Scott said, he then frowned, he's not sure but when Mr. Ported said that something had changed then. He had seen protective parents before, but how Mr. Porter spoke in that tone, it seemed darker. He's not sure if it's just his imagination or not. "I couldn't stay, so I left, before that I told him that we would be staying for a couple of days and to contact us if he changes his mind," Scott reported
Xavier nodded, "It sounds like you did everything that you could Scott. How long do you plan on staying," Xavier asked
"I was thinking until Sunday," Scott said
"Good, that should give them enough time for the shock to wear off and to talk it over," Xavier said
"Just what I was thinking," Scott said
"Now, Kitty, Kurt. What about you two," Xavier said
"Well, we went to the school and found Telford ditching class with his friends," Kitty said frowning, "Once we saw him, we followed and called out to him. He and his group stopped and let us catch up to him. He asked what we wanted. I introduced myself and asked if we could talk to him alone, he refused and said that he didn't want what we were selling. I told him that we weren't selling anything. He said that he didn't care, to get lost, that he wasn't interested," Kitty said her mood getting fowler as she speaks which all the men notice.
Kurt decided to take over, "I tried to get him to talk, but his friend interrupted me, and told me to get lost before he made me," Kurt said making Xavier frown, he didn't like his students being threatened by anyone, mutant or otherwise. "Vee veren't intimidated zough. Zen…" Kurt said hesitantly as he and Scott looked at Kitty who looked just plain angry now.
"He made a pass at me," Kitty said making Xavier look at her, he could tell she's angry, that is unlike Kitty. "That thug walked up to me pinched my chin acting like that I'd like it. He invaded my personal space and told me to ditch Kurt, which again he called a loser, and to come with him. He promised that he'd show me a much better time than Kurt. That is so insulting that he would even do that. I don't know what Boston girls are like but if he thought that would work on me that hood has another thing coming. So, you know what I did? I smacked his hand away, hard too. Kurt tried to reprimand me for that," Kitty said as she glared at Kurt for doing that.
"Zat's because vee vanted to befriend him, and you smacking him vasn't gonna help us do zat," Kurt explained but flinched as Kitty's glare intensified.
"So, what, I'm just supposed to let a guy talk to me like that. Let him think that I would sleep with him because we want to recruit him. Well guess what I don't care how much you want him, he does that again, I'll punch him, consequences be damned. I am not gonna whore myself out just so the institute can have students," Kitty ranted
"No one expects you to Kitty. I would never ask that of you," Xavier reassured, he made a mental note to talk to Kitty about this. She seems to really hate Mr. Porter, and she's only met him once. "If you could please continue. What happened after you smacked his hand away?"
"I told him not to touch me," Kitty said, she smirked as she remembered Telford's shocked reaction, "He was certainly surprised. He told me it was my loss, but I doubt it, I can think of five other people that I'd rather be with than him. told him that too. Kurt tried to reprimand me again, then told the thug that we knew he was a mutant, but you know more subtly so we didn't freak out his friends. Kurt then told him we were mutants too. Kurt tried to get him to come with us, but Telford shoved him to the ground and said that he didn't want to listen. He looked like he was gonna attack Kurt. I got in front of Kurt and defended him. One of his friends told him to take me out." Kitty scoffed, "I would have liked to see him try. I even dared him to try. He didn't do it, he just turned around, then glanced at us and told us to stay away from him. He and his friends then walked away. Honestly, I'd be happy to leave him alone."
Professor Xavier frowned again, it's obvious that Telford has a bad attitude, but Kitty normally never acts this way. If anything, he'd figure that she would be more determined to show him that they were friends. He really must find out what's wrong.
"Kurt and I then decided to follow him for a while, make sure that he didn't misuse his powers. He never used them, but he still got in trouble," Kitty said scowling as she remembered him stealing the woman's wallet as well as other petty crimes. "After following him around for a while we headed back to the X-Wing."
"I arrived sometime after them and we updated each other on what happened," Scott said
Xavier hummed, "Despite a few hiccups, you all did everything you could, now all we can do is wait and hope that Telford and his father contact us," Xavier said
"Well professor, I was thinking," Kitty said getting Xavier's attention. "On our way to the school we ran into a crime scene. There was a bank robbery. We got some more information and found out that the safe had no evidence of tampering at all. There was no footage of them at all. It was as if they appeared in the safe itself," Kitty explained
"Kitty did some more research on this and found out that this isn't the first crime that this has happened either. Apparently, whoever robbed the bank had been committing other crimes as well. How they got to where they needed to be, no one knows. There's no evidence of forced entry, of locking picking, of hacking, nothing. Like Kitty said it was as if they just appeared in there," Scott said
Xavier hummed and interlocked his fingers together, "Tell me Scott, do you believe," Xavier asked
"I believe that it may be a mutant or someone with powers. Either way, I think that this is worth investigating," Scott said
"Two mutants in zee same area. How did vee miss Zat," Kurt asked
Kitty scoffed, "Either that or it's Telford," she said
"Kitty," Scott scolded, just because she doesn't like the guy doesn't give her the right to accuse him of such crimes.
"What? I'm not saying it is, but he is the only mutant that we know about. Unless Cerebro has detected any new mutants around here," Kitty said
"There are mutants everywhere, some Cerebro have detected at a young age, others right when they are going through puberty such as you Kitty, sometimes Cerebro detects mutants when they are older even after they got their powers and started using them. Some mutants get their powers later in life like Hank. Just because we didn't detect anyone else last night doesn't mean that there aren't more mutants. I'm willing to bet that Boston has plenty of mutants of all ages that we don't know about," Xavier said
"So, professor, what do you think," Scott asked
Xavier thought for a moment, leaving the three waiting with bated breath. "Ok, you may investigate, if it is a mutant then it is best for us to be involved," Xavier said
"Yes," Kitty cheered
"Cool," Kurt said
"Thanks Professor," Scott said
"Of course," Xavier said
"Well, that's all that we have to report. We'll start our investigation tonight, and let you know what's going on," Scott said
"Thank you, Scott, now before we hangup I wish to speak with Kitty, alone," Xavier said making the three look at each other.
'What did I do,' Kitty thought
"Of course, professor," Scott said, he and Kurt then exited the room, leaving Kitty alone with Xavier.
Xavier looks at Kitty, "Kitty please sit down," he offered
Doing as she is told; Kitty sits down on the chair that Scott once occupied. "Is something wrong professor Xavier," she asked
"I was just about to ask you the same question Kitty," Xavier said
"What do you mean," Kitty asked confused
"Your attitude toward Mr. Porter," Xavier said
Kitty's face instantly dropped, "Yeah, what about it," she said
"I have never seen you so dismissive and hostile toward a recruit Kitty, especially after a first meeting. What's going on," Xavier asked
"Nothing. I just think that he would be wrong for the institute," Kitty said
"And why do you think that," Xavier asked
"His kind doesn't belong at the Institute," Kitty said
"What do you mean by his kind," Xavier asked but Kitty was silent, "Kitty, what do you mean by his kind?"
Kitty groaned, "You know his kind, people who are arrogant, brash, rule breakers, bullies, people who think that they are superior. He won't take what we have to offer seriously, professor. All he'll do is cause trouble. He doesn't belong at the Institute," Kitty said
"Kitty, any young mutant who wishes to learn how to use their powers belongs at the Institute. Telford may be arrogant, brash, a rulebreaker, and a troublemaker. But that doesn't mean that we give up and abandon him. It means that we must try harder to show Telford the right path. Telford may be those things that you listed but I'm sure that there is good in him all we must do is show him that there are people there for him. People who will support him, and care for him, and when he finally realizes that I'm sure he will be a fine addition. We can't give up on him Kitty, we have to keep trying, there's good in him Kitty, I believe it," Xavier said
"I don't know professor, Telford. I know the type of person he is, he's arrogant, brash, a total hot head, just like," Kitty said but she stopped.
"Just like Lance," Xavier said, but Kitty said nothing all she did was divert her eyes. Xavier sighed, now it made sense, why she doesn't like Telford so much. "Lance betrayed you Kitty, he broke your heart, and from what I've heard Telford does indeed have a lot of similarities to Lance."
"Then you know that he can't be trusted. I used to think there was good in Lance, but I was wrong, Lance showed me just what kind of person he was that day. That was the kind of person I wanted nothing to do with. Telford, he's just like Lance, and he'll end up the same way," Kitty said
"Telford is like Lance. But is he Lance," Xavier asked
"Well, no, he's not," Kitty answered
"Exactly, he's not Lance, you shouldn't judge him just because he's similar Kitty. Everyone deserves a chance. Lance had his and sadly he didn't accept it. But we have yet been able to offer Telford his," Xavier said
"What if he screws it up," Kitty asked
"Then we'll deal with it," Xavier said, he can still see the uncertainty on Kitty's face, "Think about what I said Kitty, and remember everyone deserves a chance," Xavier said
Kitty sighed, "Yes professor," she said
"Ok, I must go now," Xavier said
"Ok, bye," Kitty said, the call then ended making Scott's laptop go dark. Kitty sighed, she then got up and walked through the wall entering the hallway. Once she's in the hall Kitty looks and sees Kurt and Scott trying to eavesdrop through the door. She walked up and stopped behind them.
"Do you hear anything," Scott asked
"No, nosing, it's gone quiet," Kurt said
"Well, I hope they get done soon I need to get some work done before we go investigate," Scott said, hey he doesn't want to flunk out of college because of bad grades. He once thought about not going to college and focus on the X-Men, Jean put a stop to that. Said she'd do terrible things to his mind if he didn't graduate, she wasn't about to let him go through life without some kind of plan. She's such a good and caring girlfriend, a scary girlfriend but good and caring.
"Laptop's all your Scott," Kitty said making both boys jump in fright Kurt may have also given off a girlish scream which he will later deny after Kitty tells Amanda. The boys turn around to look at Kitty and stammer.
"Zis isn't vat it looks like," Kurt excused
Kitty shrugged, "Normally I'd be mad at the invasion of privacy, but considering it looks like you didn't hear a single word that was said, and the fact that I was having the call in your room. I won't be," Kitty said making the other two sigh in relief. Kitty's smile suddenly got much sweeter, and neither are sure but somehow it made the smile scarier. Kitty then walked closer to the boys, "Just don't do that in my room, because in my short time in training with Logan, he's given me a few tips on new ways how to use my powers, and trust me, these ways cause a lot of pain. I'll leave it to your guy's imagination on what I mean by that." Kitty then walked past the boys and headed to her room which was thankfully next to theirs. Kitty phased through the door and headed toward the bed, she allowed herself to drop down on the bed lying on her back. She gave a frustrated sigh. She knows that Professor Xavier means well, but Kitty still can't help but think that recruiting Telford is a bad idea, he's just too much like Lance, and she can't get passed that. She really needs someone to talk to about this.
With that thought Kitty takes out her phone and video calls Peter.
Avengers Tower
In the lower levels of Avenger's Tower is the training room which is equipped with all types of equipment that a superhero team could use to keep their skills up. Suddenly a shield is flying through the air heading toward its attended target which is none other than Spider-Man himself. The arachnid hero flips over the shield dodging it, "HA, missed," Spider-Man gloated
Captain America, a man who has been out of his coma for two years now smirked, "Have I son," Captain America said
Before Spider-Man could ask what Captain America meant he is answered by his spider-sense going off, eyes widening Spider-Man ducks low Captain America's shield flying above his head. The World War II soldier then catches the shield. "That could have killed me," Spider-Man exclaimed once he fully stood up. Arrows then come from nowhere making Spider-Man dodge each one. "Whoa," Spider-Man said making his body move left. He back handspringed away, dodging another arrow, "Nice try." Peter dodged left making an arrow fly by him, he ducks just dodging from getting lodged in the head. Spider-Man thinking that it's safe stood up, "That all ya got?"
"Nope," the voice of Clint Barton also known as the hero Hawkeye said as an arrow comes flying at Spider-Man's chest, right when it is an inch of hitting his chest, Spider-Man catches it.
"I repeat my previous statement," Spider-Man said
"So do I," Hawkeye said as he is shown smirking much to Spider-Man's confusion. The young hero's spider-sense then goes off, he then hears a beep coming from the arrow in his hand. Figuring out what was about to happen Spider-Man throws the arrow away, it was only five feet away when it blew up, the force of the explosion throwing Spider-Man off his feet and onto the ground.
"…Ok I'll give…you this…one…," Spider-Man said coughing between his words. Spider-Man then feels his spider-sense go off, he then back roll's, dodging widow stings courtesy of Natasha Romanoff also known as the Black Widow. "Ok, where are you," Spider-Man said as he stood up looking around, he then feels his spider sense go off and he jumps back dodging a kick from Black Widow. Once she lands Black Widow fires her widow stings making Spider-Man back-handspring's away, dodging them. Once the widow stings stopped so did Spider-Man, he sighed in relief, but then his spider-sense goes off and he is then hit by repulsor beams throwing him to the ground.
Spider-Man groaned, "Ok, that hurt." Again Spider-Man feels his spider-sense go off and lighting shoots from the sky heading straight for him. "Really," he said exasperated, he then rolls away and into a kneel dodging the lightning. Spider-Man then tries to shoot his web so he could better dodge but finds that when he tries nothing happens. He then remembers that he doesn't have his web shooters, "Crap." Lightning then comes from all over from above and it's only because of his spider-sense that he was able to dodge them all. Finally, the lightning stopped making Spider-Man relax a bit, he then leans his back against the wall. After a full second it hit's Spider-Man that he was in the middle of the training room. How is he leaning against a wall?
The arachnid hero looked up and saw none other than the Hulk looking down at him smirking. "Meep, remember we're smash buddies," Spider-Man reminds. In response Hulk grabs Spider-Man by his arm and then smashes him on the training ground multiple times. "OUCH…THAT HURTS…THE PAIN…IS…THIS…HOW…YOU…TREAT…YOUR…SMASH…BUDDIES," Spider-Man said every time he was smashed on the ground, after one more smash, Hulk releases Spider-Man, the teen stands up a bit wobbly, "I'd hate to know what you do with your smash best friend," Spider-Man said as he holds his head with one hand. His spider-sense then goes off and he sees a shield flying towards him, Spider-Man dodged only to receive a kick in the face by Black Widow, she tries to roundhouse kick his face but Spider-Man blocked making her retreat, once she does lightning comes at him making him dodge, seven arrows then come his way, dodge left, right, roll forward, dodge left again, jump back, dodge right, then jump back from the explosion. Spider-Man's spider-sense goes off again and repulsors come from the smoke making him cartwheel out of the way, Captain America then comes from the smoke and punches Spider-Man in the face, he then moves and Spider-Man gets blasted in the chest by repulsor blasts knocking him to the ground. "Ow."
Seeing that the kid had enough, Captain America relaxes his pose, "Ok that's enough," he said calling off the training.
"Really, come on Cap, I was just starting to enjoy myself," Hawkeye said as he walked up putting his bow on his back.
"Cap's right," Iron Man said as he landed next to Captain America, his face plate then flips up showing Tony Stark, "We've been at this for two hours, think it's time we give the kid a break."
Captain America then walks up to Spider-Man and pulls him up to his feet, "You did well Peter, not everyone can spend two hours straight dodging nonstop attacks," Captain America said
"Um, thanks, still having trouble on figuring out the point of that training was," Spider-Man said
"We were testing to see how far your spider-sense goes and if it's possible to strengthen it. This training session has been recorded, I'll be able to observe the data and see what we can do from there," Tony said
"Ok, but why wasn't I allowed to have web-shooters," Spider-Man asked
"You won't always have access to your web-shooters kid, there may come a day where they will be inaccessible to you. That day comes you'll need to know how to handle yourself without them," Black Widow explained as she walked up.
"That day comes? That day has come plenty of times when I ran out of web fluid. Let me tell ya those days sucked," Spidey quipped
"Well either way this training session is over. Hit the showers you've earned it," Captain America said getting a nod from Spider-Man.
"Thanks Cap," Spider-Man said as he then ran out of the training room, heading to the showers.
Locker room
Spider-Man was in the locker room taking off his costume, the first he took off was his shirt, gloves, mask, shoes, and pants leaving him in only his blue boxers. He put his suit in the locker, then he heard a ring coming from the locker. Reaching inside Peter pulls out his cellphone and sees that he is getting a videocall from Kitty, smiling he accepts the call, and Kitty's image appears on the screen, "Hey KitKat," he greeted
Tipton Hotel, Kitty's Room
"Whoa. Why hello there," Kitty said with a flirty smile as she got the view of her shirtless sweaty boyfriend. Now she really wishes that she was with him. "Someone looks like they're working hard."
Peter laughed, "Yeah, two straight hour training session courtesy of the Avengers. Enjoying the view," he asked smirking as he saw Kitty eye him.
"Oh, I am really enjoying the view," Kitty said
"Well, I am enjoying the view myself," Peter said
"Oh," Kitty said, "Would you like if I made the view better for you," Kitty said sliding her finger to the button of her shirt.
"Tempting, but I am in the Avengers locker room, I'd rather not no one walk in on that," Peter said
"Oh yeah, I forgot you're the jealous type," Kitty said smirking
Peter grinned, "Hey let's not forget the reason why you won't let me be the Hulk," he said
"Oh, I'm not, it's the same reason why I'm not going as a Disney princess or cheerleader," Kitty said
"We are both jealous people, aren't we," Peter asked
"Extremely," Kitty answered
"So, how goes the recruiting," Peter asked
Kitty sighed, "That's actually why I called you," she said
"Something wrong," Peter asked as he sat down on the bench.
Kitty sighed, "We're having some trouble, the father said no, because he thinks that if his son joins the institute then he is gonna join the X-Men. The son, well honestly, I don't think he's a good fit. I think that we should just leave him alone and go home. But we're not gonna do that, instead we're gonna spend all weekend here in case they change their mind," Kitty said
"I see, so costume shopping is canceled then," Peter asked
"Yeah, and all because of the thug," Kitty said getting a curious look from Peter.
"Thug? Never heard you call anyone that before, well unless you don't like them. What did this mutant do to get on your bad side," Peter asked
"It's just, he's brash, grungy, hotheaded, arrogant, a rulebreaker, a troublemaker, he obviously thinks that he's superior, he's a bully, he'll use his powers to crush anyone who gets in his way. The Xavier institute isn't for people like that. I know that type of person and the institute isn't for those type of people," Kitty said
"You're talking about Lance," Peter said making Kitty give an exaggerated sigh.
"Maybe," Kitty said
"Kitty you know that I don't like Lance, and after what he did to you, I can honestly say that I hate him," Peter said making Kitty smile at the fact that no matter what he will always be protective of her. "But this mutant."
"Telford," Kitty said, she doesn't like identifying someone by mutant or human, it just sounds wrong to her.
"Telford isn't Lance, Kitty; he may have similarities but he's his own person. You can't decide what this guy is gonna do just because he reminds you of Lance. You gave Lance a chance Kitty, you gave him plenty of chances, and he blew each and every one of them. But until you give Telford his chance you are never gonna know what he does. He deserves a chance Kitty; he deserves the right to make that decision."
Kitty groaned, "You sound like Professor Xavier," she said
"Well not to brag but I have read all his papers. By the way, is it true that he's making an autobiography," Peter asked
"Peter," Kitty laughed smiling at how dorky her boyfriend can be when he gets all fanboy. She loves to see his dorky side though, it's cute.
Peter smiled at seeing Kitty's smile, "Listen Kitty," he said getting Kitty's attention on him, "One of the greatest things about you, one of the things that I love most about you, is your empathy, and your will to help people and giving them a chance. You always try to look for the good in people Kitty. It's one of the greatest things about you. One of the things I love most about you. Don't let Lance ruin that Kitty. Don't let him take away your empathy, don't let him take away your ability to look for the good in people," Peter said
Kitty smiled at Peter, "I don't know if I can look past the similarities that Telford has with Lance, but I can try at least," she said
"Remember the words of a little old, wrinkly, green gremlin. Don't try, do," Peter said making Kitty laugh.
"I can't believe you quoted Yoda," Kitty said, she then looked at Peter, "I'll try Peter, that's all I can do."
"That's better than not trying at all," Peter said smiling, "Listen I have to take a shower. I'll call you back, ok?"
"Ok, don't call too late though, I don't know when we're going out," Kitty said getting a raised eyebrow from Peter, "For the past couple of years a series of crimes have been committed by this group of criminals. No one's sure but they somehow always get into places without opening doors or tampering with the locks. It's like they just appear there. Scott thinks that it could be a mutant."
"Do you think it's Telford," Peter asked the obvious question getting a shrug from Kitty.
"Don't know, could be, then again it could be another mutant that we just haven't detected yet," Kitty said
"Heh," Peter said
"Yeah well, I'll let you take your shower, be sure to call me afterwards, I miss you," Kitty said
"I miss you too, don't worry once I'm finished, I'll call," Peter said
"Good, talk to you then, love you," Kitty said
"Love you too bye," Peter said
"Bye," Kitty said, she then ended the video call making Peter's image disappear. Too bad, she was really enjoying the view. Kitty puts her phone down and just lies on the bed. Eventually Peter winds up calling her back and she picks up, they talked for two hours which only felt like ten minutes. As she talks to Peter a knock comes from the door. "Hang on baby," she said, Kitty then looked at the door, "Yeah?"
"Kitty, get ready, we're moving out," Scott said
"Ok, be there soon," Kitty said, she then went back to her call, "I have to go, I'll talk to you tomorrow," Kitty said
"Talk to you tomorrow, love you," Peter said
"Love you too, bye," Kitty said
"Bye," Peter said
Kitty then hit the end call button, she then gets up from the bed and went to her suitcase. Kitty opens the suitcase to reveal her Shadowcat uniform. "Time to hero up," she said
Outside the Bank
A black car pulls up, the doors open and Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat all get out, Cyclops from the driver's seat, Nightcrawler from the passenger's side, and Shadowcat from the back passenger side carrying a gym bag. They all close their doors and walk up to the bank, "I still think that I should have driven," Shadowcat said
Nightcrawler coughed as a response to that comment. "Umm, maybe next time Kitty," Cyclops said nervously, there is no way that they could let Kitty drive the car. It's a rental, they'd lose their deposit. Cyclops then gets serious, "Ok the best way to investigate these crimes is by going to the scenes themselves, and what better place than their most recent crime."
Once they approached the doors to the bank, they inspected the outside part. Cyclops takes out a small flashlight and flashes it on the door handles to see if there were any kind of scratches. Cyclops looks at his teammates, "Check if there are any windows or any other openings around here."
"Right," Shadowcat and Nightcrawler said, Shadowcat then puts the bag down and they split up to check around the bank leaving Cyclops to check the front. After determining that the door handle had no evidence of tampering Cyclops decides to check the hinges.
With Nightcrawler, he has teleported to the side of the building and found a window, the hero decides to test the window by opening it to find that it's locked, he then checks to see if there was any tampering but finds none. After that Nightcrawler continues his way around the bank.
Shadowcat is on the other side of the building and sees another window. After checking, she discovers that the window is locked, and just like Nightcrawler there is no sign of tampering, Shadowcat looks up in thought, only to see the roof of the bank. An idea then strikes her, tapping the earpiece Shadowcat speaks, "Hey Scott, what if they didn't enter through the ground floor? What if they came by the roof," she said
"It's possible, check it out," Cyclops said
"Yes sir," Shadowcat said, using her intangibility Shadowcat makes herself lighter than air and she floats up to the roof. Once she's on the roof Shadowcat deactivates her powers making her drop down. Looking around Shadowcat walks around the roof, she notices a vent sticking out of the roof, taking a closer look at it, Shadowcat deduces that it was too small to go through. Tapping her earpiece again Shadowcat speaks, "Hey, I'm on the roof. There isn't much here only a vent, and unless our mutant has the ability to shrink themselves and others very small, or have the ability to fit through anything, then there's no way they could have crawled through.
"I see a few vents too, but all of zem are too small to climb srough, vell unless you're a toddler," Nightcrawler said
Cyclops is feeling the front windows to see if anything is wrong with them when he hears this. Cyclops sighed, "Ok, get down here, we'll take a look inside," he said, second later Nightcrawler teleports next to Cyclops, and Shadowcat floats down from the roof. "Let's head inside."
Shadowcat offers her hands, "Ok everyone, hold hands," she said, Cyclops picked up the gym bag and grabs Shadowcat's hand while Nightcrawler grabbed her other hand. They walked through the locked doors, entering the bank.
Black Van
In the van the group of ten are driving to their next job, they all currently have their masks off showing Eddy in front of everyone, Telford next to him, Donald and Kenny are in the group as well. "All right listen up, when we get there, Vanisher, you're gonna teleport some of the guys and take out the security, when that's done you will come back for the rest of us, and we will find where Hammer keeps his weapons in. We got the containers for the weapons. The truck will only be a couple of blocks away," Eddy asked looking at his crew.
"We have some containers, how much will we be able to fit though. It's not like weapons are the smallest thing," one of the men said
"Vanisher will just have to teleport the other weapons to the truck," Eddy said, he then looked at Telford, "You're really gonna have to pull your weight on this one." Eddy then looks back at his men, "Danny, Kenny, and Andy, you three will be taking out the security. Now get going." The three mentioned then left the van, just as Telford was about to get out his arm is grabbed by Eddy, "Don't screw this up. You want to go to college right? This will pay for that."
"Right," Telford said, 'Like you would ever let me go,' he thought, Telford then got out of the van where the three men were, now all wearing their masks. Telford puts his mask on becoming Vanisher and walks to the middle of them, "Grab ahold and don't let go." The men grab Vanisher, then the four men disappear from the spot.
"And so it begins," Eddy said
Hammer Industries
Hammer industries, one of the most advanced weapons manufacturers in the world, only being surpassed by Stark Industries back when they were in the weapons business. Heck, even now organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. still prefer Stark over Hammer. Due to the advanced weapons and technology that the company holds it only makes sense that every building would have tight security. That means that there is a security camera at every corner of the building, not an angle has been missed, a gnat could fly by, and it would be seen and recorded. All these security cameras all transmit to one room, the monitor room which is being guarded by two men with guns holstered on their hips. Currently the two men are bored out of their minds, so bored that one of them opened their laptop and started watching videos.
The first man sighed as he looked at the monitors, "It's so boring," he said to his companion.
"Well, what did you expect on monitor duty," the second man said as he watched Powerpuff Girls
"Dude are you really watching Powerpuff Girls," the first man asked
"Hey, my daughters are fans ok, I'm just educating myself," the second man said as he continued watching.
Before the first man could say anything he his hit in the back of the head with a gun making him grunt in pain, knocking him out and him falling on the floor. Hearing the man fall the second man turns around, "What's," but he stops when he sees Kenny over the first man's body, "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DID YOU DO?" Before the second man could do anything, he is hit in the head with his own laptop knocking him to the ground, he groans in pain.
Behind the man it shows Andy and Danny were behind him. Danny being the one who swung the laptop. Vanisher then walks up, "Everything ok here," he asked getting nods from the three men. "I'm heading out then." Vanisher then teleports out of the room and appears outside next to the van.
"Security taken care of," a masked Eddy asked from the van.
"We have the monitor room under control," Vanisher answered
"Good, we'll deal with the rest when we get there," Eddy said as he got out followed by the other three men. They all walked up to Telford and grabbed him, a second later and they were teleported away.
Bank
The three X-Men were walking around the bank observing every nook and cranny of it, trying to find some way on how the robbers got in the bank and stole the money without getting caught on camera.
"I have a question. If vee already know zat zese criminals have a mutant vith zem zen vhy are vee trying to find openings," Nightcrawler asked
"Because we don't know whether or not they have a mutant with them," Cyclops said
"Yeah, besides by checking to see all possible entrances we can better deduce on what kind of power that the mutant has. If there is even a mutant in the first place. Either way, I'm glad we're doing something," Shadowcat said
Cyclops paused for a moment, he always knew since he first met Kitty that she was incredibly smart, Cyclops would even say close to genius, maybe even genius level (They never had her take an IQ test). You have to be to pass classes as easily as she can, but with her demeanor one tends to forget just how smart she is. It actually reminds him of what he said to Professor Xavier when he came to him about being the leader of the X-Men. "Nothing seems to be here, let's check the offices, then we'll go to the vault itself." Getting a voice of agreement from Shadowcat and Nightcrawler the three go to check out the offices of the building.
Hammer Industries
The group of criminals appeared in a giant room that had crates of all sizes in it, some were stacked on each other, and others are alone. Walking up to one of the crates Eddy pries it open with a crowbar he brought. Once the crate was open, he saw an assault rifle and smiled in satisfaction, "Jackpot," Eddy said, he then looked at his crew, "Load up as much as you can then we leave." The group of criminals then all split up and started opening crates and placing them in the containers. "Don't just get one type of weapon, I want all types," Eddy ordered, he then looked a Vanisher, "Come on let's get moving, start with this," Eddy said motioning toward a big crate in front of him. Vanisher walked up to the crate, placed his hand on it, and then teleported away with it. Smirking Eddy went to load up his containers.
Bank
After spending some time looking through the offices to make sure that they weren't somehow used in the robbery, Cyclops, Shadowcat, and Nightcrawler found themselves in the room where the vault was. "Ok, let's take a look at this vault," Cyclops said as he and his teammates went to the vault to take a more thorough look at it. The first thing they checked was the electric lock that was placed on it.
"The cops said that there were no signs of tampering on the lock or vault itself," Shadowcat said as she looked at the lock. "We should check the logs, no matter what these locks record every time they are used."
"Ok check them," Cyclops said
"Alright, so who's gonna do it," Shadowcat asked, she then noticed that both boys were looking at her expectantly. She wondered why at first, then it hit her, she scowled in response, "Oh fine," she said, after getting the necessary equipment that they got from the X-Wing, they hooked it up to the lock. Shadowcat then finds herself on the computer typing in commands and writing code at a fast pace. Kitty however had underestimated the banks firewall, and it was taking longer than her usual to get in.
"Vat's taking so long," Nightcrawler asked, it's been ten minutes and he is getting impatient.
"Will you hold on! This isn't easy you know," Kitty said annoyed, "You guys find out I'm good with computers and all of a sudden you guys think I'm some female Tony Stark or something," Shadowcat said annoyed. Whoever set up the firewall was good, she'll give them that, but they weren't good enough. After typing a couple more commands, Shadowcat got into the logs, "There, I'm in," she said, she then looked at Nightcrawler, "For the record they do have computer classes at school."
"Kitty logs," Cyclops reminded
"Right," Shadowcat said getting back to the logs, they scrolled through the logs for a while, "Nothing. The last times that this lock has been used was yesterday at 6 pm and this morning at 7 am."
"6 pm yesterday was before the robbery happened," Cyclops said
"And 7 am was after the robbery," Nightcrawler said
"Unless they were able to delete their logs then this isn't how they got in the vault," Shadowcat said
"Check the vault itself," Cyclops told Shadowcat, "We'll keep looking around here."
"Ok," Shadowcat said
Hammer industries
Eddy, Vanisher and the rest of the gang had been in the warehouse for an hour filling up their containers with as many weapons as they could and teleporting them to the truck. As one of them was filling up their container they had a question to ask, "Hey Eddy," the man asked
"What is it Joe," Eddy said
"If your kid can teleport then why not have him teleport all of these crates and boxes to the hideout," Joe asked
"Because, he has a limit that he can teleport, why do you think that only eight people go to these heists, six is the maximum of people he can teleport add in what we take, and he gets tired. If he were to teleport all of this to the hideout, we wouldn't have a way out. No, we take what we can get and move on," Eddy said, even now though Eddy told Telford that he had to pull more of his weight, he is careful with what the boy teleports. One of the reasons why the truck is so close. The amount of energy he uses depends on distance and capacity. He teleports too much at too long of a distance then the boy will get tired and won't be able to teleport for a while.
What no one knew was that while the Andy, Kenny, and Danny had taken out the security guards in the monitor rooms there were still some roaming the buildings, however due to how large the building was and the fact that they have guys in the monitor room, they didn't think that they had to worry. They were wrong because one guard was just able to pass under Kenny, Danny, and Andy's noses.
Vanisher was loading up one of the crates when the guard came from behind him, "HEY," the guard said getting Vanisher's attention, the mutant froze at being caught. "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"This isn't what it looks like," Vanisher said as he tried to move toward the guard, but the guard quickly got out his gun and pointed it at the kid.
"Don't move," the guard said making Telford stop, he's never had a gun pointed at him before, he's never been caught before.
Monitor Room
Danny who was sitting in the chair took another scan of the monitors and saw something that made him curse, "Oh fuck," he said getting his companions.
"What is it," Kenny asked, he soon found out the problem when he looked, "Shit," he said as he saw Vanisher being held at gunpoint by a security guard. Kenny got out his radio and spoke in it, "Eddy, your son is an idiot. He got caught."
Weapons Room
"What!? Where is he," Eddy asked, once the location was given to him Eddy ran to it. "That little idiot, I knew I shouldn't have left him alone."
With the guard and Vanisher
"Don't move," the guard said
"Please, I can explain," Vanisher begged
The guard ignored Vanisher and got out his radio, "This is Jeffery calling in, I have an intruder with me trying to steal the weapons. A masked individual, by his voice I'd say late teen, early twenties, 5 foot 5," the guard said, that was all he got out though because suddenly he was shot in the head killing him instantly.
Vanisher looked on in shock as the body hit the ground, he then looked to see the shooter only to see his own father, "What did you do," he asked in a shaky voice.
"I just saved your worthless ass," Eddy said as he walked up to Vanisher and grabbed his arm, pulling him with him, "Now come on, I'm sure that shot was heard through the radio. We're leaving," Eddy then got out his radio, "Everyone gather up and bring what you can, we're leaving. Everyone get ready."
Monitor Room
"You heard the man let's get ready," Danny said
"Hang on, this man, he's seen my face," Kenny said as he walked up to the second man and loaded his gun, Kenny then pointed the gun and shot the man three times in the back, neither of the men reacting to it.
In the weapons room, everyone had gathered up in a group around Vanisher and all made contact, "Get us out of here," Eddy demanded getting a nod from his son, a second later they disappear and reappear in the monitor room, it was there that Vanisher saw the body of the man, blood already gathering beneath him. Vanisher just looked at the body and couldn't believe that he was part of this. The teen was brought out of his thoughts when his father hit his arm, "HEY GET MOVING, NOW," Eddy ordered, trying his best not to focus on the scene in front of him Vanisher activated his powers and they all disappeared and reappeared outside next to the van. "EVERYONE LOAD UP AND GET INSIDE."
"What's going on," one of the men asked
"I'll tell you later, now move," Eddy said, with that everyone loaded the van up and got inside with Eddy shoving his son in the car. "DRIVE," Eddy said once he was in the car. The car is then shown speeding away from the scene. As they sped away, Eddy contacted the truck, "We're leaving, meet back up in the hideout." Once that was done, Eddy looked at his son furious.
Bank
Cyclops and Nightcrawler were once again taking a thorough look around the room while Shadowcat checked inside the vault to see if there were any kind of openings.
Inside the vault, Shadowcat walked around looking and feeling the walls trying to see if the was some kind of cut or burn that could have got them inside, but so far, she felt nothing. After looking around the vault some more Shadowcat decides to leave. She phases through the door and sees Cyclops and Nightcrawler standing there talking, they then noticed her presence and turned to her.
"There's nothing there, no vents, no burns, no cuts of anything. That vault is solid, only a mutant could gain access to that vault," Shadowcat reported
Cyclops nodded, "You're right, we got nothing here either. Now the only question is what kind of powers this mutant has that could help them get in the vault without getting caught," Cyclops said
"Maybe it's someone with similar powers to me, I mean I was able to just walk on through this vault no problem. Or maybe someone like Kurt," Shadowcat said
"But I have to know zee location vere I'm teleporting. I can't just teleport to a new place, I have to know zeee place or person," Nightcrawler interjected
"We'll figure this out later, right now we should leave, we've been here two hours," Cyclops said getting confirmations from Nightcrawler and Shadowcat. With that they collected their things and made their way out of the bank, calling it a night.
END CHAPTER
So I read this myself and realized how long it took me to read only half of it, so I decided to separate it in parts. Anyway please review, creative criticism is welcome, regular criticism isn't. Until next time, That's All True Believers!
