31 Chapter 31: X-Men & Pharaoh

Since Jean was still attempting to regain control of her telepathic abilities after her little blunder a minute ago, I stood up and dusted my clothes before approaching the plane; while doing so, the entrance to the plane opened up, allowing me to see inside it, well without needing to see through it.

I stood a few meters before the ramp with my arms crossed, trying to look as intimidating as possible for a twelve-year-old; once it was fully lowered, six people came into view and started walking down its ramp, with Professor X at the foremost. Professor X was a bald, old, paraplegic man in a clean-ass wheelchair; Storm, the only woman, who was also incredibly hot, had white hair, brown skin, and a sexy African accent; the guy beside her was a relatively young man by the name of Bobby, probably only a few years older than me.

The man beside Bobby was a mountain of a man with a Russian accent by the name of Colossus, and it was a damn good name when you looked at him; the man beside him, Wolverine, was short yet a rather wild man in terms of appearance, but what really stood out was his metal skeleton and sharp claws hidden in his hands. The final man, if you could even call him that, was a big blue ape with glasses, though he was actually the only person I remember seeing during the events at that island, probably because a big blue ape is fucking hard to miss.

'Motherfucker; what's up with all these fine ass women!?' Thought Pharaoh in slight annoyance; his gaze lingered on Storm as the six walked down the ramp, though other than a slight glance, their eyes were focused on Jean's.

I was about to introduce myself, but before I could, I suddenly felt a stinging sensation in my head, causing me to squint my eyes and glare at Professor X, who had his hand on his temple while looking at me in surprise.

"Tch, can you not try to read my mind, nigga? Damn, at least try to have a normal conversation first." Remarked Pharaoh with a frown as he glared at Professor X, his words causing everyone else to finally look at him.

"My apologies, young man; the circumstance was just rather urgent." Said Professor X as he quickly regained his composure and displayed an apologetic smile, causing Pharaoh to merely raise his eyebrow.

"Hmph, urgent? Is Jean being an Omega mutant really that big of a deal?" Asked Pharaoh curiously, though his words surprised everyone as they all stopped walking and warily looked at him.

"How, you know that, Bub?" Asked Wolverine with a slight frown while eyeing Pharaoh.

"You six told me when you guys were flying in, I heard you all speaking about Jean, along with a few other things." Remarked Pharaoh as he glanced at a Wolverine who merely grunted before quieting down.

"So you could hear us while we were flying? You must have exceptional hearing, a mutant as well?" Questioned Beast curiously as he sized up Pharaoh, noticing his well-maintained physique for a twelve-year-old.

"Depends; if I'm a mutant, do I have a better chance of dating Storm?" Asked Pharaoh with a slight smirk while glancing at Storm, who looked completely stunned by the sudden shift.

"Oh my, another admirer." Remarked Colossus in his deep Russian accent as he glanced at Storm, who just sighed

"I'll take that as a no." Muttered Pharaoh with a nod of his before his expression turned somewhat serious.

"Anyways, let's talk about why you six had come here before that other, less amiable group arrives; we've still got some time until then." Added Pharaoh with a dignified expression while looking at Professor X, who slightly frowned at his remark.

"This other group you hear, young man-" Asked Professor X with a frown, though he couldn't finish speaking as Pharaoh cut him off.

"Yeah, it's Magneto, the dude you're worried about taking Jean; he's flying here along with five other people: Juggernaut, Pyro, White Queen, Mystique, and Sabertooth. So, let's get a move on; they don't seem to be as pleasant as you all, and I'm somewhat eager to let loose a little, if you know what I mean." Replied Pharaoh with a slight frown as he looked towards the right, prompting everyone else to do so as well.

"Sabertooth. Pyro." Said Wolverine and Bobby simultaneously with a deep frown while looking at the night sky.

"Hmm, you're a quite knowledgeable young man; mind introducing yourself?" Asked Professor X with a friendly smile as he ignored his incoming old friend and looked back at Pharaoh, finding him rather interesting.

"The name's Pharaoh, Pharaoh Kent, though you can also call me Tut. Now, enough about me. We're all worried about Jean, right? So let's focus on her instead of me." Stated Pharaoh as he glanced at the six before turning around and walking back to Jean, leading them to her.

Walking back to Jean, I motioned them all to be quiet, and thankfully, they followed my words since Jean was still intently focusing on controlling her powers.

"What's she doing?" Asked Bobby curiously as he looked at Jean in confusion, only for Pharaoh to glare at him.

"Shh, whisper nigga; she's trying to control her telepathic powers. She did it a few minutes ago, but amidst her excitement, she lost control; now be quiet and watch." Said Pharaoh while glaring at Bobby, who displayed an apologetic smile before nodding his head and silently watching Jean.

"Since we're waiting for young Jean to control her powers, could you tell us more about her Tut, seeing as you seem to be her friend?" Asked Beast silently as he leaned down beside Pharaoh's eyes, causing him to back away while giving him a weird look.

"Personal space, Dawg, I don't know you like that; also, did you just forget I've got exceptional hearing?" Remarked Pharaoh while brushing the side of his face Beast had leaned into, causing Wolverine, Storm, and Bobby to chuckle.

"Anyways, yeah, I don't mind; seeing as you're in possession of such a highly advanced plane, I bet you could easily do a background check on Jean if you haven't already." Added Pharaoh with a nod as he started speaking about what occurred today with the awakening of Jean's mutant abilities

"… And that's when you fools arrived." Said Pharaoh with a sigh as he glanced at the six, who all had different expressions.

"For such a young girl to experience something so traumatic." Muttered Storm softly in her African accent as she looked at Jean with pity.

"Yes, it's indeed a terrible thing for a girl to experience." Said Beast softly with a complicated expression as he looked at Jean, who hadn't moved a muscle in the past ten minutes.

"Professor, we must protect Jean; if she joins the Brotherhood of Mutants, Magneto may very well manipulate her, given her current state." Stated Bobby righteously as he stared at Professor X, who had been silently observing Jean this entire time.

"Tch, what did I say about being quiet, Bobby!" Said Pharaoh with a frown as he glared at Bobby through gritted teeth, wanting to smack him, though he held back.

"Also, you don't need to protect Jean; I'm more than enough for that. It should be you guys who need protection; wasn't Magneto whopping y'all asses on that island?" Remarked Pharaoh as he folded his arms and glanced at the six with a raised eyebrow.

"We won in the end." Said Colossus, though all that earned him was a scoff from Pharaoh.

"Yeah, barely; besides, I wouldn't call it winning if Jean happens to lose an arm or a leg while I was protecting her. At that point, we survived; we didn't win." Commented Pharaoh while looking at the five, who frowned at his words, though they didn't really comment as he wasn't wrong.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, kid, but having super hearing and being able to block telepaths from your mind isn't enough to protect the young lass against the people who want her." Stated Wolverine with a slight frown as he looked at Pharaoh, who smirked before suddenly a cigarette was in his mouth.

"You're right about that, you fossil, but who said I only had those abilities? Like I said, I'm not a mutant, so I've got far more than just one or two abilities; hell, some of my abilities haven't even awakened yet." Remarked Pharaoh with a smirk as he pretended to smoke while Wolverine widened his eyes and grabbed his pack of cigarettes from his back pocket, noticing one of them was missing.

"Here, have it back; if my Mom catches me with a cigarette, I'm going to be grounded." Added Pharaoh as he walked forward and gently placed the cigarette back in the pack before returning to his spot, though everyone else could hardly even notice a blur.

"Super speed?" Muttered Beast in surprise while glancing at the grumbling Wolverine before looking at Pharaoh, who smiled before flexing his arms.

"Heh, is that all I have though?" Said Pharaoh with a smirk while eyeing the five, who were now seeing him in a new light; he was no longer someone they could just ignore as he seemed to hold many powers.

Hearing Jean's eyelids flutter, I silently walked toward and knelt in front of her, just in time for her to open her eyes and look at me with a smile.

"Seems like you did it and much faster to boot now this time, don't lose control amidst your excitement, Jean." Said Pharaoh with a teasing smirk, causing Jean to pout slightly.

So, I've got nothing say off the top of my head, but as a heads up I'll be posting a poll or information chapter tomorrow.
