Neb: The Mutants secret revealed. The world now knows of people who don't need weapons to be a threat. How will the X-Men and Brotherhood survive this? I do not own X-Men Evolution.

Things change, that has always been a known fact to Ricky White. After all he's had three families, two teams, and friends be enemies while enemies become friends. This change was different however, instead of smiling through it, he kept his head low. The students of Bayville High avoid him like the plague ever sense he wound up on the news near the Sentinel Robot. That probably won't bold well on Jeans speech to the board of education and the parents of these kids about why Mutants should be allowed to attend school. "Well this is life now," Vibrant muttered. He wondered if Jessica will ever come back to the institute after he made an idiot of himself. "I can't think about that. I may be with the X-Men, but I am not letting another family manipulate me. It's best to call them friends or classmates. Same as the way I refered to the Brotherhood Mutants. He turned his head to see Scott being thrown around by Duncan, Jean's idiot boyfriend. Perhaps the idiot was trying to get Scott to show his powers. That way Summers could be expelled from school. They even taken Scott's sunglasses keeping him from being able to see without blasting anyone. Ricky somehow managed to find his smile back and walked up towards the group with it. "Hello friends, are we playing nicely?"

"Stay out of this White, or I'm stomping you also," Duncan yelled. Scott managed to flip one of the football jocks into Duncan and trip the next one.

"Bring it on, I don't need powers to handle punks like you," Summers yelled at Duncan.

"You got it Scott," Kitty grinned as she and Rogue moved in to help him.

"Yea, dropping these losers might be worth getting expelled over," Rogue smiled.

"What do you say," Ricky grinned. "Four mutants vs three jocks."

"You guys wont last two days here," Duncan growled as he tossed the sunglasses to the ground and walked away. Rogue picked up the sunglasses and placed them back on Scott's face.

"Here you go," she smiled. "They are gone." She sounded very sympathetic and talked calmly compared to the other times Vibrant had heard from her. Then again, they weren't enemies anymore.

"Thanks," Scott responded before walking away.

"Hey what are your super powers," a guy chuckled as he approached Rogue. "Can you like, read my mind."

"Yea, like I could find it," Rogue insulted him before Kitty and she walked off. Ricky shrugged at the man and then walked off in a different direction.

What Ricky didn't expect to see was the Brotherhood Mutants, Toad, Avalanche, and Blob walking on campus.

"What are you guys doing here," Ricky smiled.

"Don't talk to us X-Loser," Avalanche growled.

"X-Loser? That term is coined by me and can only be used by me." Avalanche pushed past him and he grunted.

"What's his problem," he asked Toad.

"Kitty," Toad responded and Avalanche shot him a death stare.

"Woops."

"Oh," Vibrant grinned. "That makes sense. You know if you join us again she might like you again."

"I ain't joining the X-Men ever again," Lance yelled at him and he backed up.

"Cool it," Vibrant growled back at him. "The school still hasn't decided to welcome us back or not, but Jean has a speech tonight that should fix that."

"What do we care," Blob laughed.

"It matters ok," Vibrant grunted. "It will determine whether or not mutants should live in the light instead of the shadows. I suggest you guys get a few seats and watch." He turned around and headed away from his former teammates."

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Vibrant sat next to the Professor at Jeans speech later that night. The Brotherhood mutants did ignore him and it looked like the other X-Men hadn't arrived yet. "Where are they," Vibrant asked and the Professor put his finger on his lips as Jean made it to the stage.

"Uh, good evening," Jean announced. "My name is Jean Grey. I suppose I can stand up here and recite the 5th and 14th amendments, or quote some passionate speeches from civil rights leaders, but to be honest. I don't want to. Since this is personal, lets keep this personal." Vibrant saw Night crawler sitting in against a wall by himself. He still hadn't decided to show his true form and Ricky didn't blame him. "Now most of you have children, and you love them for who they are not for what they can or can't do. There is a chance that one of them will have an advanced X-Gene, and as they grow older, they will be considered mutants. You will love them anyway, but people will hate them and people will want to hurt the." Ricky flashed back to when his first father pointed a shotgun at his face and then when his second father put a scar on it. He remembered his third father being pulled away in a police car for trying to use him for his power. Jean's speech was good, but did apply to every human. However, there will always be bad eggs in the group, stranger, child or parent. "You will hope for the day when your child will live in a safe world. Well that world must begin now. With you, by allowing mutants to attend public school. Thank you."

The speech concluded with an earthquake shaking the entire building. "Oh great, Avalanche," Kurt grunted. Ricky and him moved out of the building along with several screaming people as they tried to push past each other. Vibrant saw the Brotherhood mutants fighting the other X-Men. A car flung through the air almost hitting Principle Kelly causing him to panic.

"You see," the principle yelled. "Mutants are not only dangerous, but uncontrollable. This is what is in store for our school." He pointed at all the destruction caused from the fight.

"Look again," the Professor spoke up. "Despite the overwhelming urge to use their powers. My students are exhibiting signs of self control." Ricky joined the fight and jump kicked toad.

"No powers then," Vibrant grinned. "I can still beat you without them."

Toad grunted before jumping at Ricky as they both rolled on the ground wrestling each other. As Avalanche continued to break more things with his powers. Jean, Kitty, and Kurt used theirs to prevent people from getting hurt by flying cars. After Lance finally calmed down he saw the whole X-Men team with Summers, Jean, Ricky, Kurt, Rogue, and Spyke all together.

"Uh oh, let's get out of here," Lance spoke up as the three Brotherhood mutants ran off.

"Not quite the impression I was hoping to make," Jean pointed out.

"You did a good job none the less," Vibrant grinned. "Good job Grey." She smile at him and he smile back.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As the X-Men walked through the underground base with their heads hung low.

"Is there a funeral I missed," Wolverine spoke up as they walked passed him.

"You could say that, we dug our own graves last night," Scott grunted. He turned his head to Vibrant who just gave a small smile back at him and he shook his head.

Despite the X-Men deciding that humans don't want them. The board voted to let Mutants back into school. A victory had finally come there way, or has it. The students will still hate them, and the principle will still be against them. Life will still be hard, but it is up to the Mutants of today to help the mutants of tomorrow have a good life in this new world.
