4 Interacting with a Mutant

Ring * Ring * Ring * Ring *

"Well students, do not forget any of the things we learned today, do not forget the pending task that I left you, any questions you have, we will solve them in our next class" said the teacher Smith, proceeding to put away her things, while several of the students were leaving the classroom.

Taking his backpack and starting to pack his things, Chris says goodbye to his classmates and begins to leave, but suddenly, he saw Cindy and Barbara waiting outside his classroom, so, without being so reserved, he walks to where they were resting and ask. "Do you guys need something?"

"Oh !! Chris, thank God you finally came out" Cindy said, as she took Chris's hand and began to shake it. Seeing the strange action of her friend, Chris simply puts on a wry smile and begins to look at Barbara, who when matching glances with him, she raises her hands in surrender and says. "She wanted us to go somewhere together, you know, typical friend outing."

"Seriously, then why don't we go together, we also planned to go out together right Pete, Gwen?" asked M.J, who thought it would be good to go out in a group, besides, she felt strange seeing Cindy so close with Chris, even though they had met recently, although, there was not much difference with their situation ...

Seeing the newly formed group staring at him, Chris simply gave a sigh and nodded at this, so without further ado, the 6 of them headed towards the exit, then went to a nearby game center, but, it turns out that the only people waiting for Chris weren't just Barbara and Cindy, but rather 'peculiar' people were waiting outside the school for Chris to come out .....

"Eh!? ... (But what, why are they still here, wait, don't tell me ...)" Walking and acting calm while chatting with his classmates, he began to feel the pangs in his head again, but seconds after this, Barbara's voice can be heard and says. "Can I help you with something?"

Looking at the group that had just appeared, all except for Chris, had a confused expression on their face, but this only managed to increase, when a man with a military cut, black eyes, quite large and sturdy body begins to speak and he says with a foreign accent. "I'm sorry to interrupt his talk, but I would like you to speak to his friend"

Shifting their attention to where the robust man was pointing, everyone was surprised, to see that the person they were talking about was Chris, so with a confused expression they seemed to ask the latter for an explanation, something that he did, already that, the moment he saw their gazes, he responded rather vaguely. "I'm sorry but I don't know you, besides, I already promised my friends a way out right?"

"Nod * Right!" x5

Watching the group of guys, who seemed to be 'defending' Chris, the stocky man stares for a long time, before simply saying. "I understand, so I hope I can talk to you once you finish doing your things."

After that, the sturdy man started to leave. Observing the interaction he had with his peers, Chris was not quite surprised, seeing a quite beautiful girl with a fierce look, start hitting the sturdy man and saying that he was very silly, meanwhile, the other two girls in the group which were, the beautiful red-haired girl I had seen in the cafeteria and a girl with violet hair just as beautiful but with an even sexier body than the previous two, the first, seemed to see him with quite curious and expectant eyes, while the second he seemed to be imagining that a fight with him ...

Not caring much about the affairs of the mysterious group, which he knew very well, Chris simply started walking, alerting his friends that it was time for them to leave or they would not be there in time to reserve a room for Karaoke.

"So, did you manage to catch something Hope?" asked a boy with brown hair, who stopped looking at the place where Chris and his friends had gone, and saw the beautiful red-haired girl, but was quite surprised that she was still looking at the place where Chris previously was.

"Are you okay, Summers? You're not normally so quiet" mentioned another boy who, unlike the first, had blonde hair and had a somewhat cold look on his face.

Hope Summers, the only mutant born after M-Day in the future, was recognized as the Messiah of the new generation, being saved by Cable (a man with white hair, quite robust and pieces of technology implanted in his arm, eye and other parts of her body) after an explosion occurred in the hospital where she was, to avoid several of the events that occurred in the future, she and Cable traveled to the past, with the mission of changing everything that happened in their 'time' .....

Recovering from her train of thought, the young redhead aka Hope Summers shifted her attention to where the stocky man and the fierce looking girl were 'fighting', and comments. "..... How about we go to karaoke too?"

"What?!" x5

...

..

.

"So you're telling me that you and the others wanted to come to karaoke too?" Chris asked, as he was quite dumbfounded that the people he had 'rejected' just now would appear in front of him again.

Sip * Sip * Sip *

Taking a sip of her drink, the girl Chris had spoken to simply nodded and continued to watch the show unfolding in front of her. After they have rented a group room, they each took turns singing something from the music list, the first of all being the tall, stocky boy in their group.

While the stocky man in his group was trying to sing the song he had chosen, the other two beautiful girls in Hope's group were cheering him on, in a rather peculiar way.

"That's Piotr, you can" said the girl with purple hair, who was recording her partner, while eating a sandwich.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, if you can tin, why don't you show us a little dance too" said the other girl with dark hair, which she didn't stop laughing boisterously, as she hit the ground.

Watching the scene unfolding, Chris can't help but wonder if they were indeed part of the X-Men, but he quickly banishes that silly thought, as even if it didn't seem like it, any of the people inside this room, being the most dangerous Hope, the girl with violet hair, the other girl with brown hair and the boy with brown hair. Suddenly, Chris felt the pangs in his head again, I instinctively looked closely at Hope, which she had been caught since she was staring at him for a long time.

"You know, I'd rather you speak to me in words than use that little power of yours" Chris mentioned carelessly, since due to the loud noise there was, it was almost impossible to hear any words of what he said.

Shrugging her shoulders, the girl feels ashamed of her childish behavior, the truth is, she found Chris quite interesting, who was the first person to be able to reject her telepathic powers without a silly metal helmet, so since she met him because of a registry accident he was doing, she was quite interested in what he was thinking and strangely enough, she also wanted to know what he thought about her.

Looking at the depressed girl, he can't help but sigh and after a few seconds, he puts a smile on her face and says. "Why don't we start over, my name is Christopher James Miller, what's yours?"

"Hope !, Hope Summers!" Hope exclaimed, but luckily for her, none of those present were looking at them, or at least that was what they believed, since, two very beautiful girls with black and red hair were watching her interaction with enough attention.

"I-I see Hope, so, are you some kind of girl with superpowers?" Chris asked, since even if he knew about her, he could not trust at all about the information he had from his previous life, so, instead of asking something quite suspicious, he decided to ask something he had already learned, sure, at least that seemed to be the case in Hope's eyes.

Hearing the young man's question, she does not feel very surprised, since, for a long time, she was trying to get the boy's attention, while at the same time making efforts to enter his mind. The only thing she found problematic was whether she should tell him about what she really was ... a mutant.

"Well, I'm something different but similar ..... but everyone calls us by the code name 'mutant'" said Hope, who had a sad smile, as she was waiting for some insulting comment or some compulsive outburst from of Chris, but to the utter loss of words from her, no insult came and once she saw Chris's face, she could see in his eyes quite a bit of curiosity and anticipation about what he had said.

"I understand, so you are a true mutant? .... Wow, that's really .... amazing!" Chris said, as he began to take a sip of his drink and began to tell the dumbfounded Hope all the facts he knew about them, in order to find out which was a lie and not, you know, something typical of a fan reader of comics.

Gaping at the strange but interesting questions the boy was asking her, Hope can't help but think that he was making fun of her, but to her surprise, the moment she tried to enter Chris's mind to find out what was wrong. She was really thinking, she actually saw it creep into her brain, managing to hear the boy's thoughts, blushing immediately upon hearing various thoughts related to their sexuality, but she soon concluded that Chris was really interested in the so-called 'mutant' race....

"Y-You, aren't you afraid I'm a mutant?" Hope asked, with a slight blush but with a strong tone of confusion.

"Hmm? ... why should I, it's not like they're going to eat something right? Besides, I honestly find them interesting, by the way, your classmates are also ... well you know, mutants?" Chris asked, as he continued to act ignorant about the subject, but soon forgot everything, due to a tear starting to flow from Hope's left eye.

Thinking of whether she did something wrong or made an inappropriate comment, Chris quickly starts waving his hands and whispers. "I-I'm sorry if I said something out of place, I-"

"Okay, I'm not sad, on the contrary, I'm happy to meet a person who is not afraid of mutants" said Hope.

"I understand .... so what are your powers, wait don't tell me .... telepathy?" Chris asked, since, despite knowing his original power, he decided to say anything else and because he remembered the headache that he suffered at the beginning, then, he simply decided to comment on it.

Giving a little laugh at the boy's rather cheery response, Hope just nods and starts to say. "Well, I am more than that, I can copy the powers of the mutants around me, for example, I am currently using the telepathy of one of my companions, so, yes, your answer is less correct hehe ~"

"That's ... great! Wait, does that mean that little pain I was feeling in my head, was it you wanting to get into my mind?" Chris asked, as he pretended not to know that she was trying to get into his mind.

"Well ... yes, but I can explain it" said Hope, as she brought her face closer to Chris, who just put on a wry smile and said. "Okay, you don't need to worry about that, I just wanted to know if it was you."

After that little 'revelation', they both kept talking a bit more, until the time they had been renting to use the room was up, still, this did not stop them both from exchanging their contact information, making Hope happy enough to know that he finally had a 'human' friend.

Once everyone was out of karaoke, Chris agreed to go with Cindy and the others to drop them off at their homes, something Hope wanted to join as well, but strangely she and her companions seemed to be caught in their thoughts and after a few seconds, they quickly said their goodbyes and left the scene, leaving everyone except Chris quite confused.

Having already left Peter, Gwen and Cindy, the last person he accompanied and the one closest to the bus stop to Gotham was Barbara, who kept making fun of Chris due to the interesting interaction he had with Hope even commented that Cindy seemed to be quite upset about this.

"So what floor do you live on?" Chris asked, while he was quite amazed at the huge building that seemed to reach out to touch the clouds.

Seeing Chris's complicated expression, Barbara can't help but laugh a little and points to where the apartment where she lived was. After having chatted a little more with her, he ends up saying goodbye to her, I know about her, but not before telling Barbara that he would tell Gordon how great her daughter was when she sang.

Hearing this, Barbara started to follow him, as she felt quite ashamed to remember how dramatic it had been when she started singing her song, once she got far enough away from her, he simply showed her a sign of victory and began to go to the bus stop, leaving the redhead with a rather tired smile on her face, but suddenly, her phone starts ringing and the moment she saw the name that appeared on the call, she just sighed and answered the call.

Barbara: "How about Dick, is something wrong?"

Dick: "Barbara how are you, you know, I have free time, so I decided to chat with my old friend-"

Barbara: "Get to the point Dick"

Dick: "Sigh * Batman wants you to investigate someone over there in New Jersey"

Barbara: "I understand, what is his name and why is Bruce so interested?"

Dick: "The reason is not that important, just send the information you can get, okay?"

Barbara: "..... Fine, but tell Bruce that he owes me a favor"

Dick: "Okay okay ... the person's name is Christopher J. Miller, the only thing we know is that he has recently arrived from England and is the son of an old friend of your father, although this makes things much easier, remember, he mustn't know you're looking into him, okay? "

Once Barbara heard the name of the person she was supposed to investigate, she was stunned and for a long time, she did not know what to answer to the person on the other end of the call.

Barbara: "What did you say the name is?"

Dick: "Christopher James Miller, why, do you know him?"

Barbara: ".... he just left after leaving me in my apartment"

Dick: "What! How is it possible, you, let an unknown boy take you?"

Barbara: "It is not what you think Dick, besides, you are not someone to tell me what I should or not do, or is it that you don't remember what you did?"

Dick: "..... Sigh * Babs already told you it was a mistake, I-"

Barbara: "I will do what they are asking me, but don't call me Dick again, at least not if in the end we will have this kind of discussion"

Dick: "Babs let me explain-"

After that, Barbara cut the call and letting out an infuriating sigh, she stared at the place where the boy had been previously and wondered who Chris really was to be able to get the attention of her boss.

"Sigh * What did you do or are you, that he asks me to investigate you?"

Meanwhile, inside a huge gold-colored room, full of shelves with many books and objects, having various weapons filling its walls, was a very familiar boy, who, not being aware of the current situation that was beginning To put together, I just continue to meditate peacefully, as I think about how he went on his first day of school. "(Well at least I didn't have to meet the bald Professor.... I just hope Hope isn't talking about me too much, I wouldn't want a strange bespectacled man to suddenly come and start shooting lasers from his eyes....)

What the boy did not know was that the girl he was talking about had already started talking about him to everyone in his home, causing several of the people who lived there to be interested in him, including a certain mutant similar to her, a beautiful girl with a white streak, a woman who had dark brown hair and another brunette woman with white hair ...
