I own nothing but my own characters and concepts.

-Anna Marie (Rogue)-

How had she ended up here?

Well she knew how she ended up in Xavier's institute. And after a lot of convincing from the team. Which only took them weeks, or was it two months? That didn't matter anyway. But she had meant the large group of X-men all sat around the island discussing they're newest anomaly.

Casey Howlett.

He had been apparently known about for a longtime, Wolverine's son that 'he didn't like too talk about', So the boy practically raised himself when his mom died at 12, And discovered his mutant powers not long after.

Up until a week ago, He had been practically locked into solitude, With only one recorded instance of using his claws. If everything in this dossier was true. But everything was rather sparse, Up until nearly two weeks ago. Where something must've snapped, He had randomly became active. Actively hunting down members of the yakuza. A smirk landing on her face at that, Any of em' could die and she wouldn't have a problem with it.

But when Charles flipped it over, Rogue felt a bit appalled at what she seen. There weren't just murdered, one of them nearly cut clean in half. Even wolverine winced at the scenery, Noting that 'It's been a long time since I've been that gruesome'

...Sure

He covered it up much better now, But he's just a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Wolverine himself even did a bit of digging, Zooming in too a photo Jubilee had taken (Where she sat on the corner with a large proud smirk on her face), And pointing out that him and his sons claws were different.

Casey's were bone. Compared too wolverine's fancy metal he liked too say, But that was quickly explained by his 'adamantium' being grafted onto him. God he likes that word, But even still that brought up too why X-23, Or Laura as wolverine had dubbed her. Still held onto the metal.

Casey and Laura were...Siblings? Or she was his auntie? It was a bit confusing with the whole 'clone' situation. But nevertheless, she had found herself twirling her hair at the picture of Casey stamped right on the front.

His shaggy brown hair, with the same different colouration she had right in the front. His cocky smirk staring at the camera, And his bright green eyes that almost entranced you. Not too mention he had clearly outgrown his father by a mile, Iceman estimating him too be atleast 5'9.

She wasn't relatively picky...And she knew that she couldn't touch him. But something about his rough boy appearance was driving the local goth wild.

Coming out of her thoughts she arrived back into the conversation, with a large PowerPoint led by Jubilee.

"Alrighty, Well from Professor's fancy examination, And me and Bob's individual encounters with him. There's a high chance that Casey's getting stronger" Eyebrows were raised all around the room, including from rogue, A small smirk creeping onto her.

"Had too let the surprise hit sorry guys, Anyway. From my encounter, too Bobby's encounter" She clicked through the slideshow, Showing a picture of Casey (That she might stick up on her wall) bleeding and snarling at her, Too the picture of him with Bobby. "From the calculations that professor did, Compared to my time with him, And Bobby's. He healed significantly faster the latter. So the running theory is he's only started gaining his powers properly, Fuck I don't know!" Exclaiming she threw the remote, Letting a few fireworks fly out before she plopped herself back down on the couch, grumbling about 'too much work'

...Shock

Zoning back out again, Xavier started discussing about how it was the 'utmost importance' and that 'valuable student'.

She didn't listen too any of it.

It had only happened once, A short encounter with one of Magneto's men who she had briefly liked, Loved was a push. But he was certainly attractive enough. That flame had long since died out.

And even though kitty did try, Rogue wasn't exactly the best candidate for double dates, Having an alternate music taste, shows, style. Everything.

But the man on the front cover, His cocky smile was sending waves through her body, She didn't know why. But she wanted him too join the school atleast.

"Xavier, How we gettin' him here?"

-Casey-

Somehow, I had ran back into the lanky blonde from the shop.

He had wandered onto the beach I was on, practicing my dexterity and agility by doing combat drills, with a few flips and turns. Making sure when I got into real fights I could have the mobility too weave my way through them. Or atleast escape too live another day.

But while I was taking my break, Resting on the soft sand. He had appeared, Although I do think it was by chance. As his eyes widened by the sight of me. Sighing as I retracted my claws. He approached soon after.

"Ah, You were the one who saved that mutant against the villain weren't you? The armed assailant?" Shrugging I nodded my head, taking a sip of my water as he stared for a moment, plopping himself down beside me. We sat in silence for a while, I always liked the beach. It was calm, and peaceful. Compared too the screams and roars that were in my childhood before. And Casey Howlett was no different. No father, and a mother who drank herself too death.

"You know...Not all rescues go perfect. Some people blamed you for putting 'Mustard' in the hospital. It happens a lot more then you'd think ."

The waves crashed against the sand, with my guest silencing himself. Looking at the side of my face waiting for an answer.

"I know that, and I don't regret what I done. Mustard was a villain, and not a petty one. Even though iceman told me he wasn't going too kill him, I'd argue he was. He's lucky I didn't kill mustard." Sighing at the end, we went back into momentary silence.

"I'm Toshinori Yagi, And you are?" Handing out his hand, a smile landed on his face that made his blue eyes briefly visible again.

"Casey Howlett."

"Ah, That name does ring a bell" Scratching his chin he pondered for a moment, Toshinori's eyes staring into blank space for a while. He didn't look necessarily Japanese. But the name was telling a different story.

"Why have you been following me?" I bluntly asked, Toshinori's face being taken a back for a minute, a small chuckle leaving his lips. Followed by a harsh cough and a spill of blood, Waving his hands in a 'calm down' gesture he leaned back in the sand for a moment, taking a deep breath.

"Too be honest, I haven't really. My student is usually on the other side of this beach training for the UA exams, But he had errands too run. So I just came here for my daily routine, and ran into you." With a nod I took another sip of my drink, once again going into silence.

...Is he going too leave?

"After you're performance, I think you could be a hero. Go too UA"

Slowly turning, I blinked a few times too make sure I was seeing right. Had he not heard about that yakuza murders? And that they all shared brutal claw marks and being slashed open? If it wasn't for there open arrest, I would've been hunted down by now.

"I'm no hero Toshinori." With a grunt I sat up, preparing too leave. Grabbing my shirt off the floor. I would've left a while ago, But decided too wait for the rising sun.

"I think you are, Saving that mother and child in the alleyway, Chasing that car down after they shot a young business man. And saving that young mutant, That's the thing, you save people. Even if you could...Tone down on the hacking and slashing." Rubbing the back of his head awkwardly, With a large grunt he stood up. With atleast a foot on me. If he wasn't as skinny as a pencil, he'd easily be a terrifying foe.

"Well, I didn't really plan on going too a school. I'm 17, If anything I should be going too college." Toshinori's face briefly dropped, before shining like a lightbulb.

"You're not much older then my protégé, I could pull a few strings with a...friend. Get you in there if you wanted."

"No"

Even trying too stop it, a small chuckle left me as he practically flew back from my answer. Until he likewise responded with a chuckle, Staring at the scarred mid section of my knuckles.

"Are you a mutant? Or a quirk individual?"

And this is where it'd turn for the worse, Steeling my resolve I looked at him. Extending my left hand and letting its claw's leave, Which he near instantly recognised.

"My dear old father is wolverine, So yes. I'm a mutant. Is that a problem?" Narrowing my eyes he stared for a moment, Before chuckling too himself again. A cloud of smoke filling my sight before Toshinori was...Gone?

Instead of the frail, Lanky man. A now, Frankly, Ripped person was standing in front of me. His pupils gone, And his blonde hair flying up into two spikes almost like rabbit ears.

"Well young Casey, I am All might!"

"Ehm, I don't know who that is." A sweat drop landed on my face, Before 'All might' practically fell over in a moment, before jumping back up. Raising a finger too explain.

"Me and wolverine had our fair share of fights back in the day, I used too be japan's number #1 hero. But America isn't as big on the rankings, and from what I can tell. I don't know if I'd scratch the top 5 anymore." Grimacing for a moment, he continued. "That's why I'm training the kids here, So they can be raised in a tougher environment, And come back too UA too stop any threat. Albeit it would be smart too keep them away from the top 10, Some of them are outright scary." Shuddering he stopped speaking and looked at me, Giving me a moment too think. A small smirk forming on my face.

"Two questions, First one. Who's in the top 5 heroes and villains? And second, Who won between you and wolverine?" A cocky smile came onto my face, which All might followed. Throwing a fist into the air.

"You're father is a valiant opponent, While I could never put him down, I have superior strength and speed. But you're father never got tired, and kept going...Recovery girl hated me for fighting him." The last bit was said in a grumble, making me chuckle too myself. Toshinori's face did change into more of a grimace however when he continued. While I sat on the railing too listen.

"Hmm, While officially I'm number #5, I don't think I am. There's a woman...Scarlet witch if my sources are right. And in theory she could perhaps beat me. Number #4 is Stars and stripes, but she's out of the top #3 as quirks rarely work on mutants, #3 is probably storm, One of the teachers at Xavier's institute." My eyebrow raised, I had seen storm. Taking them two girls after I saved them. "#2 would probably be Magneto, And #1 would be...Jean grey." Once again he shuddered again, Jean didn't even have a nickname? That was bad sign. If my movie history was correct she had something called "phoenix" inside of her? But hopefully she was on the good side.

For my sake.

All might continued however. "Although, The rankings are likely too change in the next few years, He's reluctant too say. But we reckon there's a few powerhouses learning there at the moment." Well that was for certain, whoever had tracked me down was certainly skilled. And even though he was losing too mustard. Iceman used his power for two seconds and had frozen his arm. And who knows who else was there, Jean gray? My dad? Cyclops? There was a few there that would decimate me at the moment.

"So why are you telling me this?" I deadpanned.

"Well, my hopes would it'd inspire you too be a hero. But too be honest, I think there's a war coming. And having you on our side would be very important."

Letting out a sigh, I thought for a moment. Before saying something I knew I'd instantly regret.

"Fine, I'll try out for UA. No promises if I don't get in."

[Three] Mission received!

Oh for fuck sake.

"That is all I ask young Howlett, Now I must go. Hopefully we talk soon." Before I could even blink, All might had blasted away. A figure disappearing soon into a dot.

Fuck it I may look at my missions.

Mission received!

Summary: You told All might you'd try for UA, So let's see you try!

Objective: Pass the UA entry exam (4 days)

Reward: New [Conformation] set

Already? Fuck alright I'll do it. If a good rewards dangled infront of me I'm going too do it.

Mission received!

Summary: Apparently a war's breaking out? I wonder who designed that into the world?

Objective: Stop the upcoming war, At any cost

Reward: Tutorial completion, you're own territory, free travel

Well this was clearly my end goal, If the option to leave this world wasn't a clear sign. I was going too have too prepare for this upcoming war.

So getting more powers and training would be very important, Even if it meant putting in the bit of extra work.

...And fuck you whoever put this war into the world.

Mission received!

Summary: All might barely scratches the top 5? Well you're going too make it too number 1, with or without the rankings.

Objective: Defeat or undermine each of the top 5 (0/5)

Reward: Being the strongest in this world? Fuck it fine, Any [conformation] set of you're choice, No barriers. You happy?

Very, If I'm going too be busting my ass too defeat all these people. I want too be rewarded well for it. Thank you very much.

Well I've never seen whatever show All might's from, Or where UA is. So it might be fun. Jesus I'm even trying too cope now, Going too school might be fun. But my last life's wasn't. And Casey had already finished school, Fuck. How am I gonna weave this into the story?

I'll figure something out.

This UA exam was a joke.

I had too do a written exam? It wasn't exactly hard, Maths was one of my subjects I taught before. But how the fuck was I supposed too know Japanese? We're in America!. So that one was a total fluke.

And after a brief explanation (From a dude who spoke too loud), We were all stuffed on a bus too a 'mock city'. Apparently having too destroy robots based on points. And a 0 point robot too avoid.

That was all simple, But my problem was why were all these people so weird? Mutants had they're fair share of oddities, But these people were usually more weirder. Like an invisible girl, And another one that was pink

...It was kinda hot.

But shaking my head I readied myself, This was gonna be a peace of cake. They were probably designed with a weak point, And that's if the plating wasn't weak enough too get my claws in. The gun in my waistband would help with that, (It was a nice silver 1911 on one of the yakuza I took down, You can't blame me.)

It wasn't long before the loud guy roared too begin, With most people (Faster then me too my dismay) began too race in, I wasn't too far behind. Only jogging into it before taking a right turn through an alleyway. Immediately seeing one of these robots.

A large 2 was on its forehead, And it wasn't long till it noticed me. Rushing towards me quickly for it's speed, Diving too the side I extended my claws. Roaring from both adrenaline and pain as I charged, Thankfully the metal was thin, And my claws got in. Slicing into all the wires on the inside. And with a thump it hit the ground.

I continued this path, Slicing through a few 1's and 2's. All of them fell the same, And had a similar weak spot. So it wasn't long till it became more of a chore then a challenge. My first 3 was much bigger. And was able to shoot laser's, which caught me off guard when it done it. Narrowly avoiding it's beam. And burning off the shoulder of my T-shirt. With a snarl I ran towards it. Leaping onto it's head and with a thrust catching all its cords in between my weapons. Pulling too the side the head came with it. And the body soon collapsed.

Luckily I got off quick enough, annoying sighing at the now ruined T-shirt. I had racked up something in the 20's or 30's range point wise. So slowing down I checked out some of my 'competition'. What a joke, A girl with big hands? A boy who could soften the ground? Atleast he looked cool, A large row of teeth cleanly on display. How was I expected too go here? If everyone just had a bad physical deformation?

That was changed by the first half-decent 'quirk' I seen, Explosions. A blonde, Red-eyed boy similar too my age soaring around blowing up all the robots he could see. An unpleasant expression plastered onto his face.

Well he couldn't completely show me up, Even if I wasn't fully trying yet. So speeding up my jog I ran into another 3 pointer, bulldozing it onto its side with a charge before quickly smashing its eye hole. And in turn it's main battery, Going limp again. Turning my head before leaping too my next target, The pink girl from earlier watching as I dissect the head of the 2 pointer.

"Hey! That was mine! I had dibs!"

"You snooze you lose" Flashing her a smile I leaped back, hearing her annoyed huff due too my heightened hearing. A 1 pointer was easily dismissed in my path. Slicing all its important wires as I slid past it.

I was caught off guard in my run however, A 3 pointer blasting me square in the back. Hitting the ground with a groan I quickly got up, discarding the remains of my shirt.

I really liked that shirt.

Luckily, For the robot. It was fried from a yellow haired man before I could get too it. Flashing me a thumbs up before he continued. Taking my points.

This continued for a short while, Slashing through all my opposition, And keeping myself on my toes more when it came too back attacks, A sly way too fight but smart in itself.

The robots seemed too have been cleared, Everyone else seemed too be finished. Panting and sweating. The smell of it almost overwhelming, Sometimes I wish I could turn it off. But I kept my bone blades out. That 0 pointer still not appearing.

A tap on my shoulder alerted me, Turning around to the pink girl from before. Her top clinging too her form tightly from the workout, My eyes briefly drifting down even as I tried too stop them.

Or maybe I didn't.

A snap in my face brought me back too reality, And she was really close. On her tippy toes almost too be face too face with me, Which she still wasn't. But I replied.

"What's up?"

"I'm Mina Ashido, Who are you? Wolverine?" A smirk landed on her at the end, Making me grimace for a moment. Flashing the claws in her face for a moment.

"Casey Howlett, So not exactly wolverine. But he is my dad." Widening her eyes she seemed taken aback for a moment. Feeling myself laugh from the encounter. "Don't worry, I'm not usually as grumpy as him. Well I try, currently in a good mood from all the fighting." Flashing her a smile she finally got out of my face, Watching her eyes slowly drift down too my exposed stomach and chest.

How the tables turn.

Following her example, I snapped my fingers in her face. Which in turn brought her back too reality. A purple blush landing on her cheeks. Well it makes sense since she's pink. And I never noticed her eyes were black, But it kinda fit into the whole different look. So I wasn't complaining majorly.

"I just wanted too come and introduce myself Wolvy, Since you did steal my points, All good. You certainly rewarded for that." A cocky smirk landed on her face, motioning too my chest and stomach. I hadn't realised how toned I had become. Even more then when I first got here.

A large rumble from behind me brought me back too reality. And the screams of everyone running away. The 0 pointer had arrived. Large energy beams shooting around the mock city. And not enough a minute after a building already collapsed. The one behind me. Coincidentally blocking my own escape. Along with Mina's. There were a few other people here with us. But most had began too break down after seeing the colossal robot approaching us.

Explosive dude had caught a bad card, Too the left of me, He had been caught by a stray collapsing building. And while he mostly escaped unarmed. He had been knocked out from the impact, Even in sleep holding that seemingly permanent scowl on his face.

Staring at the 0 pointer, And then my own claws. I had serious doubts it could cut through them. But it could work.

"Mina! What's you're quirk!" Turning quickly too the pink lady, she stuttered for a moment. Before showing me, Melting anything at a touch. And if we weren't in this circumstance I would probably investigate. "I need you too melt through the rubble behind us, I'll distract the 0 pointer long enough until you can clear an escape, And then we fucking run. Got it?"

"Y-Yes." She quickly turned around, and all the people around us had heard. Everyone in the area bounced off the floor, The impact of the 0 pointer closing the distance between us. It was unlikely it was designed too kill. But you could never be too careful.

before I continued my endeavour, I turned too a purple haired boy. Heavy eye bags marked his face. Before turning his attention too me, A slight nervous look on his face. "Get him." I pointed too explosion dude, And he nodded suspiciously before going.

God I didn't like being a good guy.

The hum of another beam charging up caught me by surprise, Grabbing up a sizeable piece of rubble and flinging it at the 0 pointers leg, It's energy beam changing from straight at Mina too the ground just ahead of me, With a charge i weaved through the rubble. Making my way towards the 0 pointer. I don't know what I planned too do exactly. But I had an idea.

Step 1. Shoot out it's laser eye's with my gun.

Step 2. Get close enough too stop its advance.

Step 3. Keep it at bay until Mina can get through the rubble.

Step 4. Get out.

Nodding my head I pulled out my gun while retracting my claws for better grip, I'm not the best marksman. But even at this distance, The laser eye's are certainly big. And my enhanced sight can help me aim at them.

One shot fired, Easily breaking one of it's laser eyes, Shooting again I hit another one. The smash from the glass being seen. Continuing I walked forward slowly, breaking all of it's beams. It's red dots now gone into a cracked dark red. The click of my gun reminding me I have an empty mag. It was no use too me now.

Jumping forward I let out a roar and hit the 0 pointer, Before it barely made a dent.

What had I gotten myself into?

A large scream from the loud ecstatic man reminded us we had three minutes left, So either run for three minutes, or hold him off until the alarm. Which hopefully it'd then turn off.

Fuck step 3 and 4, I'll hold it off.

0 pointer's leg raised, The large shadow of it appearing over my body. Before rapidly dropping down. A curse left me, Raising my arms up too try stop it's descent, It was heavy. Buckling under its weight. Taking a deep breath I pushed with all I had. Feeling it's leg raise slightly.

I was currently stuck between a rock and a hard place, Whoever was running the 0 pointer had amped it's strength up, The force of it's metallic foot being pressed down amplifying as I dropped too one knee. With the ground underneath me cracking from the pressure, I let out a groan from the weight. All I could do was hold out. No.

Fuck that.

If I couldn't handle the weight, Then the weight was coming off. Placing all the weight on my back momentarily I hissed before letting my claws out, and attempting too stab them into the bottom of it's foot.

My first attempt they bounced off, A painful feeling flying through my body from the bones. Ringing in my skeleton. But with my second attempt they pierced, And with a roar I was able too separate a gap in them. The position I had put myself in however was a bad one, My strength having been repositioned as I fell down again. This time I let it drop, Getting through the hole I had made.

It's inside was cramped, The cranks of its mechanic's moving around me. But with a groan I moved one of them. It's movement briefly stopping from the nuisance i was causing on the inside. It's hull the only thing stopping me from reaching the outside again. And with another roar I slammed through it, Ripping it down the way, Making once again a large enough hole too fit through.

With a roll I landed on the ground, Grunting from the impact. I didn't let that stop me however, Flipping around too face the 0 pointer again, Sparks were flying through it's leg. And the attempt too raise it was coming too a stop.

I forgot about one essential thing however, It's arms.

It's fist formed into a fist, Before crashing down on me. Only retracting my claws and placing my hands out too halt it, A moment early.

The concrete broke apart from my slide, Losing any form of ground I had before. Shifting my weight onto my heels I slowed it down. Before coming too a complete stop. Grunting before I attempted to push it forward, Which too my dissmay, Was not working. It's massive size simply too much for me. But adapting was something I could do.

There was probably about ten or fifteen meters between me and the other contestants, Mina nearly through the rubble. And that gave me room too work with.

Letting it's arm fly forward. I leaped onto it's knuckle. Running up it's arm as fast as I could, Quickly gaining altitude.

Noticing my attempt, It raised it's arm I was currently sprinting on, into the air. Briefly sending me flying into the skyline, I was easily above the surrounded buildings. But also roughly too the zero pointers shoulder. And with a roar I pulled my claws out once again before plunging into the steel frame. Securing my place.

Grunting I continued my trek up, Feeling the bones cracking from the impact I was putting them through. Although it wasn't long before I was at its neck. Leaping up too the 0 pointers face.

if my guess was right, It's key components were in it's head like the rest of the robots. So with another shout I started ramming my fists into its face. Small dents coming from my efforts, But it wasn't enough.

Speeding up my assault I was starting to make more progress, And the shout on the intercom reminding me I had one minute left. The time limit no longer mattered, The 0 pointers defeat was all.

Finally it worked, Screeching metal echoing in my ear from my efforts of tearing it's hull apart. But my hunch was true. A large beeping transmitter in front of me.

It probably wasn't the smartest idea, But there was no other ones. So leaping forward I plunged my claws into it. Feeling the electricity snap back against me. The current passing through me painfully, And my claws starting too break from the constant attack.

My head flew back and forward, Barely having time too think before I ripped my hands back and stumbled backwards. Seeing the smoke come off my fried arms, But internal explosions began too appear in the 0 pointer, Causing a jolt in it's body, Crashing backwards as I fell out. Back towards Mina.

I could probably survive the impact.

With a crash I let out a cry, One of the blades of my claw's snapping before I instinctively retracted them all. I bounced into the air again, Towards the crowd I had just...Saved

Not really, It wouldn't of killed them.

Before smashing into the rubble, Once again letting out a cry from the impact. My back had more then likely been broken.

My healing factor was quick too work, getting too my hands and knees as the timer went off too say the exam was over. A cough of blood escaped my lips as the crowd around me backed off, And I groaned as I felt my back pop into place. The sizzling from the electricity also fading before standing up. My vision slightly dizzy from the experience.

Following the crowd I walked through the gap in the rubble Mina had made, Before seeing everyone watching us. Even the crimsoned eyed explosion user staring at me in momentary shock. Before letting a snarl out at me, But I was in too much pain too answer. Leaning against the wall of a surviving building and taking a deep breath.

Everything hurt.

Another groan escaped as I felt the left broken claw grow back. Shifting my joints painfully before slotting back into place, And the approaching nurse had seemed too see my dismay.

I definitely got into UA

-Principle Nezu-

Charles Xavier had jumped at the chance too watch Casey Howlett's entrance exam, A private room for just the two of them. And Casey's performance on one of the big screens. Along with other notable candidates on smaller, surrounding screens.

What was the most surprising, Was Casey's save, Both of the two notably being shocked by his attempt too stop it's assault. Shooting it's eye's and then attacking it's leg.

"Cemontoss, Turn up the heat for the 0 pointer in City E please." Leaning away from the microphone again, They watched Casey struggle too keep it's Leg in the air. But a quick look at the 0 pointers condition almost made the duo spit out they're tea, Casey was holding up atleast one ton of force. And it was only increasing by the second, The ground beginning too crack as his roars echoed through they're room.

Charles was not speaking, Stuck into the screen showing his potential future student if they could work out a deal, But he also has no need. Reading Nezu's mind from his seat. He was clearly impressed, A small smirk on his face watching Casey carve his way out of the 0 pointers leg and rolling away.

"Cementoss, Increase pressure twofold, And use the 0 pointer's arm. The young man can take it." Nezu said into the microphone again, While Charles initially nodded no, They both knew his father could take this that easily. So watching him quickly sheath his claws and attempt too stop it's Fist.

The duo winced slightly, Watching the ground smashing from his efforts of stopping it, Before he managed too finally slow it's trajectory. The secret camera in a robot watching his face one of struggle, Before he let go. Leaping onto it's arm and sprinting at speeds they found unexpected from him. Quickly gaining height from his efforts. Thankfully, Nezu didn't have too command Cementoss again, who was in control of the robots.

Casey was flung into the sky, A small chuckle leaving them both as he flailed, but let out another roar as he plunged into the 0 pointers shoulder. Quickly gaining on it from climbing, A grunt leaving him every time he plunged into it's hull. While it was thin for a robot, It was still made of steel. So the fact his bone blades could get into it was a good sign for his strength.

"I must say Nezu, I'm certainly surprised by his strength, From what I had seen previously i guessed he was a significantly weaker competitor too his father. But his performance here is changing my opinion."

Charles took a sip of his own cup of tea, Nezu had kindly provided. Resting it on his numbed leg. Watching Casey ferociously attack the 0 pointer's face. His grunts of frustration echoing through the mock city. And it wasn't long before he cracked it's face open. Both of them setting they're tea down too watch it.

A transmitter was held in each of the 0 pointer's head's, For Cementoss to command them. Switching them off would destroy the control and make the 0 pointer break. Which seemed too be his plan. Roaring before firing himself into it.

"Ouch" Both of them said in unison, Watching his body violently twitch and swing around from the current passing through it, And his arms switching from charred black back too his usual tan, A sign of his healing factor at work.

The implosions from the 0 pointer began, Falling onto it's backside as Casey fell out the other, Charles briefly shut his eyes at the impact. His scream of pain flooding the room. And Nezu had noticed one of his claws clip off before he sheated them all. Present mic's voice echoing through all the arena that the time limit was over.

They both took they're attention off the screen and too each other. Too discuss how they could equalise his time in both schools.

Nezu did forget however, Charles could just read his mind. Smiling before he telepathically communicated too him.

'One week in UA, One week in Xavier's institute and so on.'

"Pleasure doing Business Xavier." They both nodded heads, A mutual respect between them. And Charles knew exactly what he wanted with Casey Howlett.

It wasn't exactly Common, but it wasn't the first time. Casey's mother had a quirk. This usually wasn't a problem, Because an X-gene and a quirk would usually combat against eachother, With the quirk usually winning.

Casey had already proven he was a mutant, A piece of his claw currently being transported too Principle Nezu right now, But Casey had already been checked before. And he wasn't double jointed in his pinky like the rest of the mutants.

It was likely Casey had a quirk.

Well, Casey's school situation's sorted now. With or without his consent but oh well.

And Mina? She's pink so why not.

Song while writing - One last breath (Creed)
