21 The X-Mansion
"That's one fancy ass school" I say when we approach the gate.
"Language, young man" my mother reprimands me.
"Sorry.." I mutter.
For some reason my parents decided to drive me to school , to which I informed them was completely unnecessary but they wouldn't listen so here I am being driven to school by my parents!
Seriously, though I am a Master of the Mystic Arts, a billionaire (although by stealing), and all around superpowered badass.
God this is embarrassing.
We arrive at the gate and the gate opens up automatically as if expecting our arrival.
I am starting to get pretty nervous actually.
I haven't seen Kitty for a while now and I had promised to write her to which I obviously didn't, because I was too caught up in learning magic and making plans.
'Hmm... maybe she'll forgive me if I give her a million dollars or something. It will certainly make her happy, seriously who gets pissed at someone who gives them a million dollars.' I think to myself.
' Nah, it's too hard to explain. Oh I know I can just tell her I freaked out about being a mutant and went on a spiritual journey or something .' I think to myself.
I plan on only revealing my increased strength, speed and agility. Maybe even my telekinesis and telepathy so I can have an explanation as to why my mind is protected on the plus side it will give me an excuse to get close to Jean under the guise of training together.
'There's no way I am leaving the avatar of a cosmic entity under that bald bastard's thumb, plus she's hot. ' I think on our way to the mansion.
We are received at the door by the man the legend the Wolverine. Who seems kinda short to be honest but geez he's buit like a tank. Standing beside him with a smile on her face is the African beauty Storm aka the avatar of Gaia.
Seriously though all the hot women in Marvel are really overpowered, and then there's the bald bastard himself sitting there on his chair Captain Picar... *cough* Xavier aka Professor X.
It's a cool name I'll admit but it's a little on the nose with his whole X-men shtick. The guy named his child soldier team after himself talk about creepy.
Alright, enough with the bashing maybe I am too hard on the guy. I have never actually met him before. I'll give him a chance.
Scratch that, the f*cker just tried to read my mind .
I feel a brush on my mental defenses, which I slap away easily another attempt is made and I just project a mental image of a Chuttulu just to f*ck with him, since he's a nosey bastard. Who can't take a hint.
Seriously No means No.
The Professor flinches when he sees the abomination and he gives me a nervous look.
I just stare at him with a deadpan expression, that clearly conveys how done I am with his bullshit.
He recovers quickly and says " Welcome please come in let's have a talk" he says.
After, we get settled in his office he proceeds to introduce his two faculty members Storm and Wolverine to us (he didn't introduce them as that btw) and then we start talking.
After a while my parents decide to leave and let me get settled in the school.
I get up to leave the office but I am stopped by Xavier " Douglas can you wait for a second, Storm give us a moment please." he says to Storm, wolverine had already left a while ago, after the initial introductions. He probably went to get a beer or something, that lucky bastard.
I look at the professer and wait for him to speak, he starts by saying " Not a great first impression I admit, but I have learned to be cautious over the years so a fellow telepath I see" he questions.
"You can say that, but then again I am full of surprises" I say, while levitating a pen off his desk, better to get this out of the way and reveal some of my powers. I don't like being too restricted as it can be a hindrance obviously my Mystic abilities won't be revealed as it is a usefel trump card to keep hidden. Plus I don't trust the guy.
For a moment a look of surprise is on his face but he recovers quickly and then gives a small chuckle and says " Your mental shields are impressive indeed, one of the more powerful ones I have seen in my days" he says, subtly trying to question how I got this good for me to shrug off his mental probes.
I shrug non chalantly and say " Not to brag or anything but I am a certified genius. It took me a while to figure it out, but I managed with some practice"
He smiles wryly at my clear dismissal of his question and says " Ahh, a genius indeed it took me years to get to where I am right now. Jean will be happy to have another fellow telepath and telekinetic as a peer. Tell you what why don't you get settled in and get yourself acquainted with your fellow students"
He clearly wanted to question me more, but decided to postpone it since he didn't leave a great first impression. I expect that we will have more of these "conversations" in the future if I am not mistaken.
I give him a nod and then head out of his office to the common room, where most of the students hang out.
As I am walking I can see quite a few students some with noticeable physical mutations.
'Nobody said all mutations were useful' I think to myself, most of the time mutations are either minor changes to appearance, natural abilities, or they can even be harmful to the user.
Truly powerful mutants are rare and even then most of them need time and training, to tap into their full potential.
As I am thinking about mutations and mutants in general. I get distracted and find myself near the kitchen. I head in as I might as well get something to drink. I wonder if they have beer here, I think to myself.
I arrive at the kitchen and open the fridge and I am surprised to see that there's actually beer in the fridge.
I take one but then a deep voice that sounds more like a growl says " That's my beer, bub" I hear behind me.
I turn around and see Logan staring at me with narrowed eyes, while holding a beer in his left hand and smoking a cigarette.
"Well then you shouldn't be leaving beer in a school full of kids lying around" I say with a smirk.
" Can't you read the sign it says faculty fridge only. The student fridge is over there" he says while pointing at said fridge.
I then notice that the fridge I was standing beside does have a small sign on it that says faculty fridge.
" Huh I guess I didn't notice sorry about that, here you go" I say while throwing him the can of beer.
He doesn't even flinch as he catches it easily, even though I threw it to him at speeds close to that of a professional baseball player.
" You got a nice arm their bub, but ease up a bit, wouldn't want to spoil the beer " he says.
"Well it didn't seem to phase you so what're your powers anyways, you didn't stick around too long after the introductions" I say.
" I dislike long introductions and for my powers" as an answer a giant metal claw slinks out of his fist to which he then uses to open the beer I just threw at him.
" Metal Claws huh that's a fun trick. You must be a riot at parties," I state with an amused tone.
" You should check out my other party trick, where I make them disappear into people" he says with growl.
" Hey now, I was just messing around but I wouldn't say no to a spar or something" I say trying to ease the tension.
" You smell strong, meet me in the training grounds tomorrow morning at 6 " he says, while staring at me.
He then leaves without telling me where the training grounds are, or even giving me an explanation about his wierd statement especially the part about my smell. I mean if I didn't already have an idea about his personality and powers that would've been probably pretty weird.
Now that I think about it again. It's still pretty weird.
I shake my head to try and get rid of these thoughts 'Doesn't matter at least I get to spar with one of my favorite superheroes of all times'
I chuckle a bit at my own thoughts. And then head out to try and find my room.
"Who would've thought this would be my real life one day" I mutter.
