10 Helping The Gifted

"Mr Theodore Hunt at your services," Said Theodore with his arms open.

"What's with the get-up?" Asked The southern women while looking at Theodore's royal attire

"Please ignore her. I'm Ororo Munroe and my friend here is. . . " Said Ororo (Storm)

"Single and the name's Rogue," Said Rogue while giving a cheeky wink.

'Yep, definitely, someone Jennifer would be friends with. What luck coming to a marvel would where Rogue is the 90s version' Thought Theodore happily

"Nice to meet you. Now you don't look like you came here to eat or confess your undying love for me so what reason do members of the X-Men have with me? And could you explain who told you to come to me?" Asked Theodore while tapping the table in an inpatient motion

"Jenny is a good friend of ours" Said Rogue

The storm followed up "Jennifer heard about our current situation and said that you would be able to help"

'Of course, it's Jennifer' Thought Theodore while rolling his eyes

"Sigh, no wonder. Fine, what you need?" Said Theodore tiredly

"The school is getting more and more crowded as the days past and the professor has a suspicion that some officials might use it as an excuse to take the children," Said Ororo (Storm) sadly

"So you have two problems. One, being space and the other being security measures" Said Theodore

They replied with a nod.

"First of let's tackle space. Daisy brings up the floor plans for the X-Mansions" Said Theodore before the lighting in the room dimmed.

On the counter, a blue 3D hologram of the X-Mansion stood on the counter.

"Hmm, so that would be your little underground base. Is the garden in the back needed" Asked Theodore while breaking the blueprints down.

"How do you have an up to date floor plan of the school?" Asked Storm with a suspicious look

"I have my ways. Now is the back garden a necessary space or can that be used" Asked Theodore

"Yes, but we don't need all of it. We just need enough space for outdoor activities" Said Storm still a bit apprehensive.

"Hmm. . . . I got it, we'll fill the whole back garden with a tall extension. I think 5 floors should be enough. I'll add some entertainment rooms with more classrooms. Is there a particular room you would like. No need to worry about the outdoor I have an idea" Said Theodore while playing with the 3D hologram

"All that's missing is a room with you and me in it" Said Rogue while leaning over the counter and staring into Theodore deep blue eyes.

'If she had said Sugah I think I would have lost but too bad for her' Thought Theodore with a shameless grin

Theodore played along and lent in and with a light whisper, he said "What would you do if I make that happen"

His hot breath crept along her neck and ear, sending shivers down her spine. Her face turned into a radiant red blush with her words stuttering "I-I Um"

*Cough* "If possible we'd like to a large nursery of some sort. Could you explain how you will sort out the outdoor problem," Said Storm ignoring what had just occurred?

'I almost forgot that the X-gene can be found at birth and is even immediately reported to the parents. Life is really cruel for these kids' Thought Theodore disappointedly

"I'll show you how later. Now, girls, do you wanna come out and say hi or are you gonna continue snooping" Said Theodore while turning back to look at two heads peeking at them.

Rose and Chloe were watching from the sitting room entrance with there heads peeking around the wall.

How convenient it was that after discussing the "Big Happy Family" two women appear out of nowhere.

They were currently assessing the two beautiful women that their dad was talking to.

Rose jumped out and shouted "Suprise it's me, Princess Rose, "

Chloe stepped out and in a quiet voice "Umm I'm Princess Chloe"

"Louder Chloe," Said Rose while nudging her sister

"IM PRINCESS CHLOE!" Yelled Chloe before putting her hands over her mouth.

"Wow, let's see who can do it louder. . . " Said Rose as she takes a deep breath to prepare herself for a loud shout.

Theodore quickly teleported them into his arms with his hand over Rose mouth and said: "Let's not do that okay?"

Rose gives a sad nod while Chloe just looks at the two beautiful women.

"Well, slap my head and call me silly. Who are these cute little people" Said Rogue with a shocked expression?

The girls giggle before Rose said "Hehe you speak funny"

"Hello, I'm Ororo it nice to meet you," Said Storm while showing a warm smile.

"Hello," Said The girls in union

"Nice," Said Theodore blankly

"What's nice," Asked Storm confusedly

"Your smile of course," Said Theodore causing a light blush to appear on her cheeks.

Storm looked down at the floor in an attempt to regain her original persona.

"Hahaha, what's this is the Goddess of the sky, shy," Said Rogue in a teasing tone.

*Cough* "Right, so when can you start building" Said Storm while still avoiding eye contact and giving Rogue a stern look.

"Oh yeah about that, I already started. I'll show you" Said Theodore as he teleported all of them without notice.

Location: X-Mansion

The X-Mansion is a safe haven for mutants that was the home of the Xavier family.

The X-Mansion, also known as Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is a private academy for young mutants where they are able to receive an education without persecution from the outside world.

Most schools don't have class on the weekend but as it was both the student's school and home they had the privilege of enjoying lessons until 01:00 pm.

After 12:00 students could do whatever they wish. Most of the time students were in their rooms, loitering in the halls, watching T.V or outside enjoying the sun.

In the garden was a particular special duo debating on their current situation. One of them was a young brunette man with short hair that was brushed to the side.

He had sharp facial features and a pair of sunglasses that had a red tint. He stood at 6ft and 3in in high towering over most students. He had a lean muscular build.

Next to him was a beautiful redhead woman that had thin build with a thin hourglass body.

These two people were known as Scott Summer aka Cyclops and Jean Grey.

Scott had a very destructive mutant ability to project red energy from his eyes.

The ability can only be turned off when he closes his eyes or by shielding his eyes with ruby-quartz, a translucent mineral.

He wears ruby-quartz as lenses in glasses or in his visor, which is generally the only way for him to safely see without inadvertently damaging his surroundings. 

Jean on the other had quite the intrusive abilities of telepathy and the flexible telekinetic powers.

"Our only option is to start setting up tents out here or dividing the parlour room, day room and dining room into living quarters," Said Scott

"Have we contacted all the construction companies?" Said Jean

"Yeah they've all refused to work with us," Said Scott

"What do we do?" Said Jean with a pained look

They stood quietly watching the students with ages as old as 18 to ones that we're still infants.

The students had no idea about the pressing situations the adults were attempting to overcome.

No clue that the place they called home and shared with thier friends might be forcefully stripped from them.

Jean and Scott are still in thier early 20's they unintentionally became the parental figure the students needed.

Standing there feeling empty and pity for these children they've gotten to know and somewhat parent.

While watching they begin to see student disappear from the garden. One after another all the students began to go missing.

Scott grasps one side of his shades and scans the area while asking "Jean can you find the students?"

"They are all inside?" Said Jean in a confused tone after using her telepathy.

"What?" Said Scott before also finding himself and Jean inside the mansion

Outside the mansion tall humanoid robots with four arms appeared wearing hard hats and high visibility jackets.

A barrier could also be seen as completely negating anyone from getting within the Robot's vicinity.

A sign was then put up facing the mansion saying "Construction In progress"

Scott opened the window and removed his glasses down causing a red beam of energy to shoot out from his eyes.

It hit the barrier yet there was no damage or evidence to say that it did.

Which shocked Scott, Jean and the other students as it has been proven that his optic blast cause immense damage.

"Jean, call the others," Said Scott as panic began to settle in.

"I already did, they are coming" Said Jean while watching the Robots get to work.

The surrounding students looked on with worry and curiosity swimming around in their eyes.

What used to be a lush green garden was now a huge ditch revealing a portion of the sub-basement that was under the mansion.

The Robots quickly got to work and began to build the foundation. A second later the foundation of the building was complete.

From the foundation, a large room was built that was then divided. Along some of the walls was a bunch of standing mirrors with speakers in the corners and T.V's hanging aimlessly from the ceiling.

One room was the weight gym and another being the cardio gym. They both have the necessary machines and equipment that the gyms. The third room was a typical school gymnasium.

After sub-basement of the extension was done two elevator shafts were placed. Then there was the basement above that was made into a large cinema room.

Only 30 seconds had passed yet the Robots had already come to the end of the building the basement.

The students who had been watching with Jean and Scott have begun to feel excited watching as the Robots reason for appearing from out of nowhere began to unravel.

"Jean, Scott we came as fast as we could, what's the situation, " Said a bulky blue humanoid man with wild blue hair pushing a bald man in a wheelchair.

This blue man is better known as Beast for his animal-like appearance.

Despite his appearance, he is far from being an uncivilized animal as he is a genius that graduated Harvard at age 15 and even built Cerebro.

Before taking the mantel as Beast his name is Henry "Hank" McCoy. He is both called Beast and Hank by friends.

The bald man being pushed by Hank is the founder of the school and the X-Men. He is Professor Xavier a genius much like Hank who was now reaching his mid-forties. His mutant ability is telepathy.

Beside them were three men and women.

Kurt Wagner better known as Nightcrawler was a very thin blue man, that had pointed ears and a long tail with a stinger at the end.

His ability is as listed, teleportation, enhanced agility, flexibility, and night vision, prehensile tail, cling to surfaces and camouflage in shadows.

Next to Kurt was Piotr Rasputin, aka Colossus a giant man that stood out with his hight being at 6ft.5in with the body of a bodybuilder. He had a military-style hair cut that matched his a square head well.

Looking at him you could feel immense strength and power. Another obvious thing that made him stand out was his metallic skin that glistened in every lighting.

The metallic skin is his mutant ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance. In his steel form, he has superhuman strength, superhuman durability, superhuman stamina.

Next to him was Kitty Pryde. She has a very slim and modest figure with brunette hair and a pure smile that sat on her pretty face. Her mutant ability is to phase through solid objects and even matter itself.

Then there was Logan aka Wolverine a wild-looking man that cared not for others opinions. He had thick black sideburns with a crude stubble beard and hair that went back aimlessly.

He possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, a powerful regenerative ability, Adamantium bones and three retractable claws that come from the space between his knuckles.

Together with Storm and Wolverine, they make the mutant team X-Men.

Jean and Scott didn't appear to hear Hanks call as they stare through the window with a happy expression.

"What is this?" Asked Professor Xavier in a shocked voice.

"I do remember Storm and Rogue saying that they were going to find help. It would appear that successfully found it" Said, Hank with a happy smile

"It's too convenient," Said Logan while squinting his eyes

"Well if it's Rogue and Ororo then it's definitely an ally" stated Kitty simply

"Kayta, please stay cautious," Said Piotr

Just when things were quieting down and the construction had come to a stop. Three adult figures appeared in the room one of them being a man with holding two small girls.

X-men and students turn around hearing two small voice.

"Wow so many new faces," Said one of the children

"T-too many people," Said the other while hiding her face in the man's chest.

Two of them was identified as Storm and Rogue immediately but the man and children were not people they recognise.

The man was wearing a dashing black suit that had gold embroidery and a gold crown that sat gracefully on his head. He stood at 6ft. 1in with his sharp masculine feature being apparent through his perfectly angular face and body.

Clear deep blue pupils that were flooded with charm and coldness. Long black soft yet wild hair that cascade down on to his shoulder and back.

The budding young student we're instantly attracted to the man's godly charm even managing to gain a squeal of excitement from then.

The two girls in his arms wore beautiful dresses. One wore a light pink while the other wore a light purple with crowns that matched man's attire.

They were cute chubby children that were almost identical in every way apart from hair and hight.

One of the small girls had long blond hair while the tall one sported a bob cut hairstyle with bangs covering her forehead.

The man smiled and spoke "Hello I'm Theodore these my daughters, Rose and Chloe we have come to provide assistance"

"We are the Hunt family," Said Chloe and Rose with a cute smile
