5 Accident?

"Charles." A deep and smooth voice greeted Professor Xavier. Wearing his traditional helmet and carrying his red cape in his hands.

SH*T. What the hell is Magneto doing here?!? I understand how Xavier found me because of Cerebro, but this dictating dick? Is he stalking Xavier or something?!

As my brain was melting down, Magneto gazed upon me and his eyes shone with wonder. "Magnificent, so this child has the power to change the world?"

He took out his hand, gesturing for me to take it. "Join me young one and we will create a nation for our kind. No discrimination, no fear, only freedom."

"Yeah. No thanks, man." I quickly denied him. "Professor Xavier came first and actually knows my name. Thank you for the offer."

Professor Xavier smiled at my decision, but frowned when he noticed Magneto's scowl. "Come now Erik." Professor X tried to defuse the Master of Magnetism, "You had your chance."

Magneto looked sharply at his one-time friend and smiled, "Well you are right Charles, Since young.."

"Robert."

"Robert has refused, I have no choice but to respect a fellow mutant their own free will." Magneto suddenly raised his free hand. "But I cannot allow you to build a team to go against me." With a flourish of his hand, knives from kitchen shot their way towards my face.

Out of pure instinct I raised my hands to block the knives, creating a wall of ice. 'Oh my god!'

"What the hell man!" I shouted.

Storm seeing Magneto attack got combat ready summoning a gust of wind to blow Magneto out of the house and engaging him in combat.

'Damn what should I do?! Can I even fight against him? Hasn't even been a week and yet I have to fight the final boss?!?' The fight gets more intense as Storm summons a more wind ruining the lawn, but Magneto flies a distance away and grabs metal from ground, destroying the road.

[Robert please aid us in this battle.] I hear Professor X in my head. [You can end this. If you are able to distract him, Storm will be able to strike.]

Struggling mentally whether or not to fight, I take a deep breath and let go of my anxiety. 'F*ck it. New life, new me.'

Charging into the fray, I create 5 sharp snowflakes in each hand and throw them at Magneto. 'Don't need aim if I can control them.'

Seeing my snowflakes coming for him Magneto raises a wall to shield him, "Childish."

Since I don't have a lot of practice, I fully concentrate on maneuvering the snowflakes around the wall but I could only fully control 4 of them. 'Tsk.' Cursing my lack of control I run ahead and propelled myself up with a pillar of ice.

Magneto's eyes widened at the curving snowflakes, but quickly moves away summoning random garbage to take the hit. Off balance from clearing the snowflakes,

Magneto leaves himself wide open, "Ahhhh!!!" He looks up to see me falling from the sky, condensing my arm into super hard compact ice I punched him square in the face, rattling his brain.

Storm took this opportunity to conjure a bolt of lightning and striking Magneto in the chest, sending him crashing into another house.

"Woohoo!!" I cheered after seeing Magneto get knocked down. "Man that was awesome!"

"It was indeed young Robert." Professor X came out of the house along with my parents. "Ororo could you check on Magneto please?" Storm nodded and looked through the wrecked for him.

"Bobby are you alright?" My mother asked coming closer to check for any injuries.

"I'm fine." I waved off her worries, "In fact I'm more than fine. Did you see me fight?! Man think of how much better I'll be with training."

Nerding out on how I could work on my powers, my mother had a proud smile on her face while my father had a complicated look.

"Look son." He spoke up. "Even though you are...different now. Just know that at least I'm proud of you if you help those who need it." Patting me on the shoulder.

That was the first time I could think of him being proud of me even throughout old Bobby's memories. "Thanks dad." I thanked him sincerely.

After our family moment Storm came back empty handed saying that Magneto vanished. Professor X nodded and turned to us with a sad smile on his face.

"Well it has been an exciting day." He seemed to hesitate for a moment then had a hard look on his face. "Robert, I am truly sorry for this. I hope you can forgive me one day."

"Wha-"

Darkness....

----------------

"Urgghhh..."

"What happened?" Waking up I notice I am in a different room, one that is more spacious and fancier. 'Where am I?'

Hearing the door open I look to see Professor Xavier smiling and being wheeled by sad looking Storm. "Ah, I am glad to see you awake Robert. You gave us quite a scare."

"How long have I been asleep?" Rubbing my head.

"Only two days." He paused before speaking carefully. "Robert what is the last thing you remember?"

"I-I remember you coming to my house...then me accepting your offer to go to your school. And then I-I forget! Why do I have such difficultly remembering what happened." I said in frustration.

Professor X gave me a sad look and corrected my memory. "Robert there has been an accident. Sometimes traumatic events suppress a person's memory." He reached out with his mind and spoke in my mind, [Let me help you.]

My head was receiving loads of images and emotional stress. Images of Magneto attacking, me coming to help, then I somehow lose control of my powers fatally injuring my parents, holding my bleeding mother's body.

Tears started to flow out of my eyes as I received the memories and emotional stress of killing my parents with my powers. Bringing my knees to my chest I try to cope with the experience of killing an innocent person.

"We shall give you time." Professor Xavier wheeled out with Storm. "When you are ready, we can eat at the kitchen."

Storm stops wheeling Charles once they reach the kitchen and turns to him with an angry look on her face.

"Why? Why would you erase his memories, especially after his parents accepted him." Storm growled out.

Charles Xavier let out a deep sigh, "Caution. Ororo, caution." Storm raised one eyebrow in confusion.

"A potential world breaking mutation like young Robert's is dangerous. Especially considering his young age." Charles began to elaborate. "His powers right now respond to his emotions, becoming too confident will cause him potential harm. While becoming lost, confused and angry will lead to unintentional use of his powers."

"He can learn to control it!" Storm argued. "Like the both of us!"

Professor Xavier gave Storm a hard look, "I have felt it. There is massive power inside of him." He let out a sad sigh, "When he gains complete control....I will tell him the truth."

"You better." She narrowed her eyes.

----------------

In another place.....

"Sir, there has been a massive disturbance in the Long Island, New York area." An average looking man with a blank look on his face reported.

A bald dark skinned man wearing a black leather trench coat turned around, revealing a black eyepatch. "Send an agent to look into it. Report back if there was anything unusual going on."

"Right away, Director."
