This story also contains descriptions of gay sex between men. I'll use < around telepathy > :D FEEDBACK PLEASE ! aboriginal_x@live.co.uk My last period of the day, Squad Training. From what Ive heard from others and around the school this is pretty much an intense work out session which tests our limits, mentally, physically, emotionally and of course our powers and ways of working together in a team. Considering this was my first ever time having to experience this I had hoped that I would get a whole introduction and maybe someway to ease into this whole new experience, however that wasn't the case. Hearing someone scream my name, snaps me back to the present, as myself and my fellow Hurricanes are in a middle of a training session in the Danger Room along with our advisor Storm. As I look up and see giant metal tentacles with pincers on the end of them to grip us, come flying at us through all angles from the walls, and Hellion flying around the room dodging and weaving through them, he was always such an ass when it came to using his powers. He was screaming my name to get my head back in the game as I continue to look around and see Armor and Indra standing back to back in the middle of the room using their strength to break any of the tentacles that come too close to them. And Surge and Pixie each running around different areas of the room, Surge using her electrical abilities to short circuit these enemies, only for them to spring back to life within minutes and Pixie using her teleportation skills to dodge around the tentacles, and occasionally aiding Surge by tele porting her to a safer area. A good team we were, but we couldn't continue like this, without me we couldn't do much. I was the main source of power due to my wide array of powers. As Julian screams for me to, quote, " Get My God Damn Head Back In The Game ", I use my power of flight to propel me through the air hovering above the tentacles and the rest of my teammates. Attracting more of the tentacles to myself I use my mind to summon fire, pure fire, more and more of it until the entire ceiling of the Danger Room is covered in it. As my eyes begin to glow and a wicked smile reach across my face I combine my fire with my telekinesis, encasing large amounts of the fire in telekinetic bubbles and shooting them towards the base of the tentacles, causing them to explode from the very place with controls them. Seeing tentacles after tentacle fall to the ground, useless and beyond repair, my teammates look up to me in amazement, never seeing any raw power such as this being released from me. As the remaining tentacles see me as a bigger threat than anyone else in the room, they all aim to come to me at once, encasing myself in a pure shield of fire the tentacles begin to try and encase me in this shield only for them to begin to melt. Still floating high in the air with fire surrounding my entire body, and fire beginning to spill out against the wall of the Danger Room as I let more and more of it pour from me, I couldn't hear my teammates screams of worry until it was too late. As a tentacle manages to get past my barrier of fire, it grips me around the ankle, and the pure shock of this causes a scream to emit from me and for me to lose control of my powers and make an even larger burst of pure energy and fire come from me, destroying everything in sight, except for anything that was low enough for my powers not to reach it. As the fire begins to creep backwards and be absorbed back into my body, I can feel my entire self glow as I begin to lose consciousness and plummet to the ground ... -- The Infirmary. -- Waking up, once again, in a large metallic room. My entire body aches and as I strain to look around me to see if there was anyone here to greet me, and looking towards the other side of the room to where I was, once again there were people waiting there for me to come around. Smiling at me profusely was Zane, Hisako and Miss. Monroe and a woman whom I was not familiar with, she was African-American and had long braids in her hair, wearing a lab coat and some glasses I could make out the name on her coat as "Dr.Cecilia Reyes". Managing to smile back towards the group of people standing to greet me, Zane got up and sat beside me, taking my hand in his with a tear rolling down his beautiful cheek. Leaning down he gently kisses my lips, and I using all of my energy that I have left kiss him back, our glorious kiss lasting minutes but seemed hours, until someone coughs in the back of their throat. Stopping our kiss I whisper to Zane, " Like I said, best friends for now. Maybe something more later. " And with another smile from me, we both chuckled as he once again planted his lips on me, but this time on my forehead as the three women came to stand by my bed. As Cecilia slowly examines my limbs, she gives me a smile, offers her hand and introduces herself as. " Dr. Cecilia Reyes, its a pleasure to meet you Carlos. But hopefully I wont have to see you in here on an often basis. " With another wide smile spread across her face she tells me that I am free to leave and then she leaves the room. Next was Hisako to welcome me back, we had become quite close as soon as we had met, after her learning of my parents not agreeing with my mutant nature she took it upon herself to act as a sort of big sister to me, and as she greeted me with a kiss on the cheek she then punched me on the arm with anger at my stupidity for what happened in the Danger Room. Only for her to lift me off the bed entirely, set me on the my feet on the ground and give me a giant hug with a single tear rolling down her beautifully proportioned face. Looking around for Ororo, she had disappeared where Zane told me she had told him, that there was some emergency atthe front lawn and all the staff members had been called to be on stand by just in case they had to be engaged in battle with an enemy. But she also told him to keep me from seeing what was happening outside. But of course me being the stubborn and curious person that I am I run out of the infirmary, followed closely by Hisako and now Zane as he transforms into a tiger, seeing he wants a game of who can get to the front of the mansion first I use my flight powers and adding to this with my telekinetic ability I propel myself through the hallways, as all three of us end up at the giant elevator, leading us to the main floor of the mansion. Once again running, we end up at one of the giant windows of the common room which overlooks the front lawn of the garden, with no one else in the room. All three of us press up against the window and see the X-Men standing on the steps of the mansion, a select few of the teaching staff in a defensive stance, facing off against a group of other people. With Professor Xavier sitting in his wheelchair on the highest step of the concrete stairs, in the dead middle of a circle of his X-Men. On either side of him were Miss. Monroe and Miss. Grey, each with their bodies facing towards The Professor but twisted so they could face the intruders and standing behind him was Mr. Summers standing dead towards the other group of people with his hands gripping the back of the Professor's wheelchair. Standing just in front of and to the side of Jean was Mr. Howlett and using the same pattern next to Ororo was Mr. Cassidy. And standing on the last step kneeling down was Mr. Wagner along with Mr. Rasputin and Miss. Pryde on his left, and on his right stood Miss. Frost and Mr. Drake. Each member of the team standing in a defensive stance, ready to protect the school with their lives at the drop of a hat. Standing opposite them were the intruders, here stood some mutants I found familiar as terrorists spread across the news, and a few I had yet to encounter. Hisako told Zane and myself who each of them were, standing in the same sort of pattern as the X-Men were The Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants. " The one standing in the middle, with the helmet is Magneto. He has the ability to control metal, he's an old friend of the Professor's and they often come to blows over nothing in particular, but usually always their difference in opinion on how the world works. " With a nod from me she continued, " On either side of him is Mystique, shes the blue woman with the ability to shape shift and on his other side with the flamethrower is Pyro, he can control fire. On Mystique's right are Destiny and Avalanche, Destiny can see the future and Avalanche can control the earth. And on Pyro's left are Toad, who has abilities related to that of a toad and next to him stands Amelia Voght with the read hair, she can teleport by transforming herself and others into mist. Standing behind Magneto are Blob and Sabertooth, the fat one is Blob and he has invulnerable skin and the other one, Sabertooth, has like animal abilities or something. He's an enemy of Mr. Howlett's. " As Hisako finished speaking, a very clear voice rang out across the lawn, appearing to come from Magneto himself, " Charles, my dear friend, it has been quite some time since our last meeting hasn't it. " With a smile, Magneto continued. " As you are most probably aware the mutant and human situation has plummeted to further levels of discrimination. Camps have begun to be set up across these lands, and any mutant not strong enough to defend themselves and escape from these humans are sent there. And kept there, God knows for what reasons the humans have for this, but regardless, these camps are a monstrosity and an insult to mutant kind. I have come here today, my dear friend, to ask yours and your X-Men's help in liberating mutants from these camps and to help any mutant who wishes to evade these courses of action that the humans have begun to set up. I have also come to tell you, that I have set up a school much like yours for young mutant children, for them to learn about their powers and how best to control them so they may be of use to mutant liberation. The Massachusetts Academy. " Silence then spread across the two groups of mutants, as the Professor appeared to think over all that Magneto had said. And without warning, the X-Men began to charge forward, to try and stop the Brotherhood from escaping and causing much uproar across America, but Magneto always being one step ahead, had already ordered Amelia to be on top of things and to begin teleporting out at any signs of trouble. Within seconds the entire Brotherhood were shrouded in pink mist and evaporated into the air. The X-Men stopped in their tracks and turned to see Xavier with a frown upon his face, as he ordered for everyone to come back into the mansion. -- The Danger Room, The Next Day. -- " Storm, what was that all about yesterday with The Brotherhood ? " Julian asked our advisor as we were prepping for another test in this giant metallic room. As he asked this, the rest of us turned to stare at our advisory for her reaction. " There will be an assembly on this at a later date, Hellion, so until then us staff are not obligated to discuss this with you. " Speaking with her royal tone, Storm looked upon us all and then ordered for us to prepare for our next test. As the metallic walls faded away, an illusion was cast around us, with Storm disappearing and ending up in the control room. We were surrounded by forest, with giant trees all around us, a river leading off into a waterfall and the smell of pine erupting in our nostrils. As I looked around, I could see mountains and clear skies with birds flying around us, but the beauty of this situation was cut short. As without warning a tree was ripped from its roots and thrown towards us. With both Armor and Indra powering up, they each caught half of the tree, as Julian began to have a green glow around him and the tree then telekinetically lifted by him and be shot straight back out towards the giant robot that had throw it at us. As the robot caught the tree in its clawed hands and snapped it, a laser shot from its eyes towards our team, flying in the way of the laser I took the hit, knowing my tears would heal me. And surely enough my wound was healed within seconds. As Hellion barked orders at all of us, he shouted one final command, " Team Hurricane. Use Maneuver Robot. " And with that our team dispersed among the trees, splitting off into pairs. Pixie and Armor ran off to the left of the robot and began to climb a giant tree as Hellion and Indra ran to the right of the robot as Indra began to pile rocks around himself as Hellion flew above, trying to catch the robot's attention. While Surge and I ran directly towards the robot, Surge powering up with electricity as her super speed kicks in and runs straight towards the underside of the robot as she shoots blast after blast of electricity towards the robot with her eyes glowing from her electrical outbursts. Not to be out done I use my telekinesis to push my running faster and more powerful as I shoot out my own fire energy towards the robot, too distracted to notice the rest of us the robot begins to shoot beam after beam of energy towards Hellion who easily dodges them all. With me and Surge still shooting energy blast after energy blast, and Indra now coming to his end of stacking rocks around him. Armor and Pixie leap from the tree and land on either one of the robots shoulders with the robot still too distracted by Hellion to notice anything else. As Hellion lands next to Indra he begins to telekinetically throw all of the rocks towards the robot as Indra runs forward and begins to climb a tree, to leap on top of the robot's head with Armor and Pixie both beginning to unscrew bolts from all across the robot's body. Coming to the end of our tactic, the others make diversions as me and Surge grab hands and allow non lethal amounts of energy to flow between us, electricity coursing through our veins and fire flowing across our bodies, with our eyes glowing a wild blue-red colour. As everything comes into place a barrier of electricity and fire begins to cover us both, and we begin to float into the air thanks to my ability of flight until we're level with the robots face. Indra and Armor both jump down from the robots body while Pixie floated to the ground as all three of them run to find Hellion and his safe hiding place from mine and Surge's final attack. Now only realising what myself and Surge have been doing the robot looks at us and shoots one final laser beam towards us, only for it to bounce off of our barrier of elemental energy. With a scream from both of us we expand our energy shield and release all of the energy we have been storing with one another, until a giant blast of electricity mixed with fire shoots out in all directions. At first stunning and short circuiting the giant robot as electricity pours into the loosened screws from the robots body and then causing it to explode due to the sheer amount of power and heat being released from our bodies. Within seconds we had once again landed and ran to the hiding spot were the others were hiding. And with one final convulsion from the robot, it explodes in a mass of burning metal, and electrical systems flailing around until it falls to the ground. Twitching, with one final attack from Hellion making a boulder fall from high above the robot it once again explodes and disintegrates into nothing along with the scenery as we are once again in the giant metallic Danger Room. As Storm comes down from the control room with a wide smile across her face, her voice echoes from across the room as she comes closer and closer towards us, " Well done my progeny of young mutants ! You completed that task with extreme skill and with a vast array of power shown from every single one of you, each playing your own part in that exercise. " Now upon us she continues to smile as she hugs everyone of us and orders us all to go back to our rooms, have a shower and then relax for the rest of the evening as tomorrow we have the assembly on what happened with the Brotherhood.
