The Return of Xavier and Magneto

[Deleted]

A boy stood at the gates of the school, tall with muscles that were well on their way to developing, Dusk stared up at the school that would soon be his home for many years to come and butterflies rippled through his stomach. He nervously pushed a hand through his shoulder length hair, such strange hair, it was striped in black and then rainbow colours, it matched his eyes which seemed to just be splintered in random colours. He tugged his leather jacket around him tighter at the cold wind, covering his black AC DC T-shirt slight so it read C D. He also had simple jeans and black boots on. He drummed his fingers softly on the handle of the suitcase he had with him, glancing to the younger boy next to him.

That boy was his younger brother, Felix, even though he was only a year younger Felix was much shorter than Dusk and in complete contrast to him, he was so slight, so frail looking it looked like he could barely support himself. Dusk ran his fingers through Felix’s long silver hair, straightening it out. Felix had his longer coat, a white shirt and black jeggings under it with trainers. He had a suitcase that was almost the same size as him and it was a surprise he could pull it.

Everything was goiing as normal on the cold winter's day. A heavy layer of snow had fallen just a few days ago, and temperatures had not risen enough for anything to melt. The landscape was white. Small streams, lakes and ponds were frozen over. Everything was normal.

Normal lessons were going on in the normal school in New York City. Students learning, teachers teaching. Everything may have looked normal, but one student, Brooke Franklin, was not as normal as everyone else. The red-haired sixteen year old had a secret, one she didn't want to tell anyone else for fear of how they would react.


At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, lessons had finished for the day, and several of the students were out in the snow covered gardens, playing and having fun.

It had been just over a year since the tragic events at Alcatraz and the whole mutant 'cure' situation. Storm had only just begn to settle into her position as headmistress of the school.

Felix made a little whimper noise, Dusk crouched next to him with a sigh, now at eye level. "It's going to be alright." He smiled softly, brushing Felix's hair back out of his face. "You know why?" Felix shook his head, shaking slightly. "Because we're brothers and we stick together through everything." He stood up, holding out his hand. "Shall we?" Felix nodded, taking his brothers hand and trying to drag his heavy suitcase with the other as they walked towards the school.

Logon stuck his head into one of the living rooms in the mansion with a growl. "Hey, the new guys are here." He said "Someone go help them, I have to go deal with the crisis in the hanger." With that he disappeared.

Bobby raised his head as he heard the familiar Canadian voice of Logan. Sighing slightly, the young mutant rose to his feet and left the room, heading out, taking it upon himself to be the welcoming commitee, although he was curious to know what the 'crisis' was. Stepping outside he waited by the entrance door for the new arrivals. This was just the kind of weather he enjoyed.... cold snow and ice.

Felix was struggling greatly with his huge suitcase, ignoring Dusk's offers of help so he could keep clinging to Dusk's hand. Felix instantly shied from this new person, backing up, hitting his suitcase and darting behind Dusk with a soft little squeak, still clutching his hand.

"Excuse him, he's shy." Dusk sighed, letting go of his suitcase and trying unsuccessfully to coax Felix out from behind him. "Er, I'm Dusk and the small silver thing behind me is my brother Felix, we're supposed to be students here."

[Anteyra]

Bobby smiled at the brothers and held out a hand. "Welcome. Sorry there are't any teachers here to greet you, they're off doing..." He paused for a second and sighed slightly. "Well.. they're doing something, I have no idea what though. I'm Bobby Drake." He introduced himself.

[Deleted]

Dusk shook his hand with a smile. "It's a pleasure." He said as Felix peered out from behind him, bright blue eyes looking curiously at him. "Sorry, he's not used to other people, he's kind of a shut in."

"Is it true everyone here is like us?" Felix asked, his voice surprisingly feminine for a boy "That everyone here.... Is a mutant?"

[Anteyra]

Bobby nodded his head. "That's right." He replied, though it was slight lie. He wasn't about to say that Marie had taken the cure a year ago and her power was no gone but still living among them. "If you'l follow me, I'll show you to your room." He began to head inside but turned to look at them again. "Can I take your bags for you?"

[Deleted]

"Awesome." Dusk grinned, stepping inside smoothly with his small suitcase, he had an unnatural grace to him that made others feel clumsy and disorientated "I'm alright but I think Felix needs help."

"No, I can do this." Felix insisted, pulling his inside, he tripped slightly and fell over face first onto the floor, his suitcase tipping then falling onto of him.

[Anteyra]

"You sure I can't help?" Bobby offered again, holding out a hand in offering to help the boy up.

“M-m-maybe a little.” Felix blushed, taking Bobby’s hand and pulling himself up. He forgot about controlling his pheromones and anyone in the immediate vicinity would find themselves feeling flustered and embarrassed due to them.

[Anteyra]

Bobby shook off the strange feelings that he was suddenly getting, he didn't understand why he was suddenly feeling like that. "Just follow me."

[Deleted]

Felix nodded, bright red as he followed Bobby. Dusk glanced over at him and coughed discreetly, Felix realised he was letting his pheromones run out of control and panicked slightly, causing him to release panic pheromones, affecting anyone nearby.
