15 Chapter 14

"So, what did you need me for?" Hiro Kala, the newest hope of mutantkind and all time headache of one Scott Summers, said as he leaned back to the wall while the leader of the X-Men sat behind his desk dealing with the ridiculous amounts of reports he had on it. Most of which were either about Logan stabbing someone or Logan drinking too much.

"It's about the training you will get." Scott said as he gestured towards one of the chairs for the young man to sit.

"To be perfectly honest, I am not entirely sure how we can help you with your energy based abilities. It always has been one of our failing when it came to helping the students." The current headmaster said with a sigh as he pondered over the white lie he was telling Kala. It wasn't exactly a lie though since they did have quite a bit of failings when it came to reality warpers.

"I am detecting a but there." Kala said with a raised eyebrow and Scott nodded.

"Yes, there is someone we are... acquainted with that might be able to help you master your powers. The problem is, you might not exactly like who it is." Scott admitted and was answered with another raised eyebrow.

"You seem to think that this acquaintance of yours is the only choice so I don't really think me liking them is of importance." The half alien said and Scott had to wonder why the rest of his students couldn't be as mature as this kid who technically wasn't even a year old yet.

"I am relieved that you feel that way."

"And if I don't like them then I'll just learn everything I can from them and then use their teachings to beat them up." And there it was.

"I would be far happier if you didn't try to beat him up." Scott sighed while Kala just smile at him.

"Considering that I'm supposed to dislike this guy, and that you aren't dumb enough to send me to someone like man of Nor, I can only guess that he is one of the quartet who shipped off my father." Kala continued with a smile but there was steel in his eyes.

"…yes, it's Stephen Strange." Scott admitted with a nod and opened his mouth to speak but he was interrupted by a voice in his head.

'Scott, we need to talk. Now!' Emma's voice echoed inside his head and Scott could already feel that the talk would be nothing pleasant, Emma's thoughts wouldn't have sounded so distressed otherwise.

"I'm sorry Kala but I got an urgent business to take care of. We'll continue to talk later." Scott said as he got up from his seat and left the room along with Kala before going their separate ways.

There he goes, the brave leader of X-Men, likely ordered to do so by Emma aka the actual brains in the leadership. Can't help but admire the guy for getting with her though, pretty sure people hated him for that far more than for his personality.

But still, Doctor Strange huh. While I did not exactly held him in high esteem due to his actions against my father, I could easily admit that I was pretty much fond of him when compared to my feelings towards Richards and Stark. Not to mention getting an apprenticeship under the Sorcerer Supreme would be quite beneficial. I had to train for the Strange Supreme template I had after all.

Not that it mattered until I got the chance to talk with Scott again. Until then I was better off thinking about what to do. Specifically about my father.

To be honest, meeting and having a proper talk with my father seemed… difficult. And that was saying it without thinking about the plethora of other personalities that resided within him. What a drag.

"You seem troubled." I turned around to see the Russian mutant who had been the one to inform me of Scott's wishes to talk.

"Guess you can say that." I said with a smile at Illyana. I didn't know why exactly I was so fond of her, especially when I knew of the kind of atrocities she was ready to commit. But there was a part of me that just couldn't dislike the mistress of Limbo.

"So, are you here to continue with your hazing?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Heh, no. No, I was just curious what captain glare wanted with you." Illyana answered with a chuckle.

"It's nothing really important. Just some plans for the near future." I said with a shake of my head and started to walk away but was stopped by Illyana's voice.

"You said that you wanted to meet your father." I turned to her with a confused look while she stared at me with a blank face.

"You also have been quite ready to defend him whenever someone badmouthed him and clearly have a beef with Fantastic for what he did to Hulk. Why do you care so much for a man that you have never actually met?" She asked and I could only tilt my head with a frown as I tried to think about it. Think about why I actually cared about the Hulk.

I thought.

I thought.

And finally...

"Do I actually need a reason?" I answered her question with one of my own, much to her apparent confusion.

"Do I need a reason, to care about family?" I asked again and Illyana looked at me with wide eyes before she started to chuckle, which then turned into a full blown laughter.

"Hah, guess... guess you don't." She said as she finally calmed down and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted before she could do so by a tremor that shook the whole building and a loud shout echoed through the halls.

"Where are they?! Where are the, sons of that spineless bastard Hulk?!" I ran towards the window and then jumped through it, sending shards of glass everywhere, and then landed on the yard. Right in front of the bastard calling for me and my brother.

"There you are!" Even though this was the first time I was meeting him, there could be no mistaking of the reptilian Goliath in front of me as he smiled with his fangs showing.

Abomination was here.
