Chapter 17: Meeting The Future X-Men

After registering in Xaviers school so that I can get lessons on how to control my mutant power I start to wonder around the halls of the building. My backpack shakes not long after and I open it up. "It's stuffy in there you know," Alloy's irritated voice sounds out. I laugh a little while replying "Well I can't' just walk around with alien tech on me and Steel is still working on your body."

"As if!" he huffs his cerulean eye closing forming an angry wink image on his interface "He's busy chasing skirts, ever since he got a true biological body he's been acting like a teenager in puberty." Annoyance radiated off Alloy as he spoke. "Well maybe he's looking for the right woman since for this he can't just reverse engineer and upgrade himself or clone himself like he did to make his own body from dad's cells," I tell the annoyed ultralink.

Soon we walk into the dining hall, which surprise surprise wasn't empty. "Fuck," I mutter under my breath. 'I've got to pay more attention to my surroundings.' Looking at the semi-shocked people who were eating I wave and say the first thing that pops into my head "Hi." I did not want to interact with the students just yet. "Jake, over here," a female voice calls me.

After looking around I find Jean Grey sitting at a table in the back and waving her hand. A group of people whom I couldn't really recognize were with her. 'I guess I have to mingle now, don't want to appear rude,' with a sigh I quickly walk to the table ignoring the stares. After I was close enough, I recognized some of the people sitting with her. Scott Summers in his red shades, Anne-Marie, Kurt Wagner, Laura Kinney, Ororo Monroe, Piotr Rasputin and Kitty Pryde.

"Hey Jean, it's been a while," I say with a smile. "Yeah, it has. Wait let me introduce you to everyone before we catch up. This is Scott, Anne, Kurt, Kitty, Laura, Ororo and Piotr," she points at each of them as she mentions their names. "Well, I'm Jake, Jake Mc'Grath," I put my hand out to shake theirs which all of them except Anne do. Noticing that I shrug and put my hand away.

"What's with the flying robot Jake," Scott asks his tone a little irritating. "I'll have you know I'm a state-of-the-art biomechanical lifeform created by some of the greatest minds on this planet based off a similar lifeform that would make a majority of alien empires either jealous or scared, make sure you remember that you numbskull of a shi'aran halfling." Alloy surprised me with the last part of his spiel but everything else was expected, he hates being called a robot.

"So still a robot and what do you mean by Shi'aran?" Scott asks in a more heated tone. Looking at him pushing for a fight my heartbeat sped up in anticipation. This could be bad or good depending on how the rest of my body reacted. I learned somethings about Takonians during my retreat that let me understand I am not exactly considered normal.

As has been stated before Takonians can generate TURBO energy naturally and release it from their body at will. What differentiates me from them is that my body doesn't stop generating when it's limits have been completely reached and saturated and I can barely control how I release it.

Essentially, I generate more energy than my body can handle, and my body only lets me open the gate and automatically closes it when the dam is dry. The worst part is that my body randomly starts releasing turbo energy at times as well. An undersuit was being worked on that would help me live normally but I'm not sure if it will really help or not.

 Another thing that differentiates us is that I can directly manipulate and control my TURBO energy as well as cosmic energy, other Takonians need to use tech to do that, the best tech being an ultralink. That's due to how ultralinks can bond with anything and freely utilise and manipulate it, my father is the only known Takonian to have had this bond. The energy manipulation confused mom for a while, but I guess the x-gene explains it.

Now since my heartrate sped up, my blood flow increased alongside my oxygen consumption, adrenaline and other bodily functions. If I am lucky enough my TURBO generation would reduce, if not it would rise alongside the other functions of my body raising the risk of me overloading as well as frying all tech in an area. I went through so many phones learning how to make the opening to release my energy as small as possible.

Although I can't change anything else, I could tell instinctively when I tried, I managed to limit the range to be a ten centimeter radius. That is if my body doesn't overload or boost TURBO generation. I take deep breaths to calm down ignoring Scott and Alloys argument, my mind on slowing down my heartbeat.

Then a southern drawl interrupts me, it sounded sultry and alluring and realizing who spoke a thought went into my head. 'Gambit hardly deserves her considering his past and connections with people like Essex.' I also remember last stand, 'Neither does Bobby'.

"Hey, quit it you two, if y'all keep on yammering the gloves are coming off and you wouldn't like that now sugar, would you?" she puts her left hand on her right glove lifting it up a little her sultry tone causing shivers down my spine. Scott shuts up immediately and moves back, Alloy on the other hand was about to continue before I grab him "Now, now, how about you calm down a little there bud."

Alloy looks up at me shivers a little and flies out of my hand. "Shit leave the room, he's overloading," panic could be heard in his tone as he turned his back to me and flared his body the way he does when he's about to bond with me. "Is that why his eyes glowed," Jean asks with worry as the table clears,

"Yep, it usually happens when his body is more active than normal, I guess we excited him too much," Alloy replies as he primes himself to link. Alloy isn't like normal ultralinks so he can't just slam into me and start the link. He has to prime himself first since he isn't one of Makinos' batch.

The energy starts to leave my body and he slams into me devouring as much energy as he could. The field expanded and I fell to the ground tired and in my armour. He had to bring it out in order to raise his efficiency due to my body generating faster than he could eat.

^Alloy I think I'm in love with the pushy Louisianan gal,^ I tell alloy, my suits speakers off. 'Is she even from Louisiana, she's definitely southern and sounds like an angel, the shows didn't do her justice.' ^You my friend are just super horny no wonder you overloaded so fast,^ Alloy scoffs causing me to laugh.As I stand and look at the damaged room I respond, this time with the speaker on

"I can't deny that Alloy, but I'm pretty sure that the fault lies with you and Scott. Still I'm glad I came over here," the suit came off as I take a closer look. ^So am I, aside from Scott everyone else seems really nice, not to mention you are a mutant among two species so we might have more powers that we could discover without worry over here, ^ Alloy responds causing me to chuckle. 'Now then how about I try to make new friends.'

I look at the what would be the X-men in the future with anticipation in my eyes. 'While I'm at it maybe I'll try to get Anne to go out with me, my energy generation and physiology makes me way better than Remy LeBeau anyway, so I doubt I'll die from a kiss or a touch.' I walk out again to give an explanation about what happened.
