Chapter 4- Moving means: New Friends and a New Home

That morning was tearful; my mom cried, Lily cried. I even think that my
dad cried. Well Jean and Storm came to pick me up in a Hummer. How are they
gonna' to take me all the way from Cali to Worchester, New York? Well let
me tell you, a jet, I mean how amazing is that? Why would a school for
mutants have a private jet? Maybe for a way to move around with out idiots
yelling `mutant menace' at you the whole time, but it's still kind of
weird.

"Um, Miss Grey?"

Jean: "Please, Jamie, call me Jean."

"Um sure, then could you call me Jamie Lee?"

Jean: "Sure, now what is it Jamie Lee?"

"Well, I was just wondering why a school for mutants has its own private
jet."

Jean: "I'm sure you've already figured that we need it because of some
people's view on mutants, but we also have other needs for it as well. It
isn't my choice to tell you those reasons, it's the Professor's."

"Oh... well, what do you teach at the school?"

Jean: "Well, I teach Spanish I, but I'll also be teaching you how to
control your Psionic Abilities to their fullest extent. Oh, and I'm not
going to cut you any slack so be warned."

"Hm, so what do you teach, Miss Munroe?"

Ororo: "Call me, Storm; I'm sure you can figure out why. But I teach
Advanced Math and will help you with your Elemental control."

"Oh, what about the weather thing?"

Ororo: "I'll be helping you with your Weather Control one on one."

"`And' you won't cut me any slack, at all."

Ororo: "Well maybe a little, it takes a lot of power to control the
weather."

"Whoa, you must be strong."

Ororo: "Well they don't call me the `Weather Witch' for nothing."

"Cool, so what do they call you Jean?"

Jean: "They just call me Jean, but they some times call me Phoenix."

"Cool, the mythical fire bird, so why do they call you that?"

Jean: "I'll tell you if the Professor agrees that you're ready. But anyway
you really are a smart young man."

My pet-peve, I had when people talk about how smart I am. At my old school
the teachers would always talk about how I should know how to do things
better that other people because of how smart I am. Who cares if I have a
high IQ, I mean I can't stand it when teachers say "Jamie Lee Thomas, you
can do way better than this, and your IQ shows this." So what if I have an
IQ of 130 or something like that, anyway then I decided to prove them
wrong, a week of no homework still didn't change their mind, so I just
tried slowly getting worse and worse on school work in general. No results,
they just tried to punish me, that didn't work cuz I love a little trouble,
it's like a rush. Then I got addicted to the trouble and Lily had to help
me get over that. I don't want that to happen over here, not if I can do
something about it, plus I don't have Lily.

"Um, Jean, Storm?"

Jean: "Yeah, honey?"

"Could you like, not compliment me on how smart I am?"

Jean: "Sure, but why wouldn't you want to be complimented on your
intelligence?"

"I'm not the kind of person who likes praise."

Ororo: "We can understand that, so just for the knowledge, how smart are
you?"

(I tried to pull it off nonchalantly.) "Oh, my IQ is like 130 or
something." (No goat, Storm swerved the jet and Jean slipped out of her
chair.)

Storm: "Sorry about that."

"No, I expected it."

Jean: "But why don't you like being complimented."

"Don't like attention, I get nervous and well, I completely loose my train
of thought."

When I get nervous I can't concentrate and well I don't know what might
happen now that I have mutant powers.

Jean: "Of all people me and Storm can relate, we are Omega Level mutants
and well when we can't concentrate, we loose control of our powers and
basically: all hell breaks loose."

"Whoa, I wonder what level I am."

Storm: "Id bet money that you're an Omega."

Jean: "So would I, in fact a few of the teachers have bet whether or not
you are. Storm and I know what it takes to be an Omega, and since you have
both of our powers we think that you may even be at our level or even a
little over."

"Whoa... oh crap."

Jean: "What is it?"

"If I am an Omega Level mutant that may be more complimenting."

Storm: "Don't worry, if you get nervous just come to my green house in the
back, it's amazing you'd love it."

"Thanks, I love gardens; I can practice my powers there."

Storm: "What do you mean practice you powers?"

"I can make plants grow."

Storm: "That's unusual for an Earth Elemental to do, but hey, I might be
able to get my watermelons right this year. Oh, and fresh fruit all year
long, you're gonna be a very useful."

"So you're gonna' use me?" (I fake pouted.)

Jean: "We're both gonna' use you for selfish reasons; it's not every day
that you get a Psionic Elemental."

"Good, I like being used."

Storm: "We can talk about using you later; we're almost to the mansion."

I looked out the window and saw this gigantic mansion, and the courtyard
had basketball courts, tennis, soccer, a gigantic pool, beautiful water
fountain, and great trees, and there was a path that leads to what looked
like a water fall.

"Whoa, is that it?"

Storm: "Yeah and we'll get John or Bobby to give you a tour."

"You mean the hot guys that were at the hospital?" (As soon as I said it I
regret it. When I'm not paying attention to what someone's asking me I'll
reply and not know it, it's given me hell before. I'm gonna' have to watch
myself around Bobby and John.)

Jean: "Oh, it's OK honey, we don't care that you're gay. This school is all
about acceptance, we are taught to understand and accept all and every
student that enters this school. No matter the sexuality, ethnics, beliefs,
or looks. And remember; you can't invade people's minds, you could find out
secret."

"OK, I'm gonna' like it here."

Jean: "All the students do."

We hovered over one of the basketball courts and it split in two and we
lowered and landed in a big underground hanger. There were like 5 jets
including the one that we were in, I had to find out why they had all of
these jets. We got out and the professor and two other men were waiting on
us. One looked real stuck-up and had these shades that had a red glow to
them, it was pretty cool, he had a nice clean hair cut and you could see
his muscles through his shirt. But the other was the complete opposite; he
had this tough air to him, and he wore a shirtsleeve shirt to showoff his
muscles, he looked real relaxed but I could just tell he was ready for a
fight if there was one. We made it over and the Professor greeted us.

Prof. X: "Hello Jamie Lee, I suspect that your flight was fine."

"Perfect, they were making plans to use me for selfish needs."

Prof. X: "Oh? And how so?"

"I can make plants grow, so Storm wants me to help her with her garden. And
Jean wants me to... what do you want me to do?"

Jean: "Oh, I'm gonna' use you as a Psionic punching bag."

"There you go."

Prof. X: "Very nice, so on with the introductions. Jamie Lee, this is Scott
Summers, and Logan."

Scott was the guy with the shades and Logan was the tough guy.

Scott: "How you doin' kid." We shook hands.

Logan: "Hey pretty boy, no special attention from me." We shook hands and
he practically crushed my hand.

"Good, I don't want any kind of special attention."

Scott: "Kid, the only way to get special attention from me is to be a
fighting machine."

"Does being a black belt count?" (I hope not.)

Scott: "Only if you can beat me in training." He raised an eyebrow at me.

"We'll see." (I don't want to fight this guy; he might tear me to shreds.)

Jean: {Jamie, the only one that might tear you to shreds is Logan.}

{Great.}

Logan: "Look bub, the only way to get special attention from me, is to be a
killin' machine."

"I've never killed anybody."

Logan: "We'll see, kid."

{Jean!}

Jean: {He's just joking Jamie, he wouldn't let you kill someone if he could
do it first.} she actually a laughed at that.

Scott: "What's so funny?"

"Jean said that Logan wouldn't let me kill somebody if he could first."
Everybody laughed at that.

"What's so funny? Why would Logan kill someone?" They all laughed again.

Storm: "That's one of the things the Professor will have to tell you, Jamie
Lee."

"OK."

Prof. X: "Come with me Jamie Lee with me to meet some of the other
students."

"Yes sir."

We all walked out of the hanger and into a big hi-tech hall.

"Whoa, is this the school's halls?"

Prof. X: "No, Welcome to the Subbasement. It's where we conduct the most
important of the institute's business. We have another Med Bay here, as
well as the hanger, a conference room, a Brig (This was getting weird.) and
a simulation room called the Danger Room. As well as some other rooms that
we'll get to."

"Whoa, how do you pay for all of this?"

Prof. X: "We have numerous foundations that fund our institute and its
research."

"Oh, so if we're in the basement how do we get to the school?"

Prof. X: "Follow me."

We all followed him to an elevator and he placed his hand on a scanning
pad.

Computer: "Welcome, Professor." The doors opened and we all got in.

Prof. X: "Ground floor." The doors closed and I could feel us rising
up. "Also so Jamie, we encourage you to use you powers, but you are to
never us them in combat unless in the simulation room."

"Yes sir."

Storm: "And remember Jamie Lee, Jean and I will always be here when you
need help. Think of us as foster mothers."

"Thanks."

Jean: {And always come to me for relationship help.}

Jamie: {Cool.}

Computer: "Ground floor: institute." The door opened and we entered the
hall of the school, I looked around to see the elevator close and it looked
like a regular wall.

"Whoa, this place is more like a college."

Prof. X: "We do offer some college courses, but that's for another
time. Jean, Storm would you please introduce Jamie Lee to the other
students, Logan, Scott, and I have business to attend to."

Jean: "Sure professor."

*Author's Note*

I have made some new characters to associate with Jamie Lee's age. There
still will be Jubilee and other favorites just some new mutants of my
creation to help the story along. Some are relative of mutants that already
exist, but they aren't real Marvel character.

~Phoenix Child~

They lead me down a hall and I saw students passing by and staring at me
and whispering.

"Storm why are they staring at me?"

Storm: "They've heard about your weather control. It seems that you're the
new Weather Wizard."

"Cool, I've already made a name for myself."

Jean: "Yep, oh Storm, Jamie Lee, their over here." She pulled me down a
hall and into an arcade room. There was a group of people in the room; some
playing games and some just chillin' on couches.

Jean: "Bobby."

Bobby looked up from his pool game.

Bobby: "Hey guys it's the Weather Wizard." I blushed and they noticed; damn
this skin.

Girl: "Oh, Bobby he is so cute why didn't you tell us." This girl came over
to me and introduced herself. "I'm Jubilee."

"I'm Jamie Lee."

Jubilee: "Your last names Lee?"

"No, Lee's my middle name."

John: "Great, we don't need anymore Lee's here." John walked over to
us. "We'll take it over from here girls."

Storm: "Thanks, I'm going to my garden."

Jean: "I'm gonna' meditate in my room."

When they left I got rushed by the girls.

Amara: "I am Amara, resident princess."

Kitty: "I'm Kitty."

Anna: "I'm Anna, Bobby's little cousin."

Allison: "I'm Allison."

Jynx: "I'm Jynx."

John: "OK, OK, girls let him breathe." He put his arm around my shoulders
and guided me around the room, I was blushing so hard. "This is Josh and
his little brother Robert, James, Bruce, Darrin, and Winston." They all
said `Hey' in greeting. Then the girls rushed me again.

Jubilee: "So what can you do Jamie Lee?"

"Well I'm Psionic and Elemental."

Amara: "Little more detail."

"OK, I can control all 5 elements and control the weather like Storm."

Robert: "He's a keeper; we could use him in the danger room."

Bruce: "Could we. Bobby now that we have Jamie Lee, we'll beat your ass for
sure."

Girl: "Wacha' mouth suga'." Some girls came in the room; she had a
Mississippi type accent.

Bruce: "Sorry sis."

Girl: "Now Bobby who is this?"

Bobby: "This is Jamie Lee. Jamie Lee this is Rouge."

Rouge: "You mean `he' is the one who caused the big storm in California?"
(I did?)

John: "Yep."

Rouge: "Hey, suga' the professor sent me down to tell ya that he wanted to
see ya before dinner."

"Yeah, thanks." She left and warned Bruce about his mouth.

Bruce: "Hell yeah, yall know what this means."

Bobby: "Yeah, and don't ruin it, or else."

Bruce: "I'm not scare of you Bobby."

Jynx: "Do I have to separate you two?"

Bruce: "OK, sorry Babe."

"So, what can you all do?"

Jubilee: "I can make balls of energy that explode, I call em' fire
crackers."

Amara: "I'm a Fire Elemental and can cover my body in fire and shoot it out
of my hands."

Kitty: "I can phase through anything."

Allison: "I'm a Water Elemental, but it's more of a mist/fog type thing,
and turn myself into mist."

Anna: "I'm a Water Elemental too, but I am like Bobby with the ice thing."

Jynx: "I can do everything that the Invisible Woman can do, even though
we're not related."

James: "I can make 9 clones of myself."

Josh: "I'm telepathic and can heal people."

Robert: "I'm can do the exact same thing as my brother Josh."

Bruce: "I have super speed and strength, and immune to my sister Rouge's
powers."

"What can Rouge do?"

Bruce: "She can steal your mutant power if she touched you bare handed, and
she can fly and has super strength."

"OK."

Winston: "I can teleport but like to call it warping."

Darrin: "I have this weird smoke type stuff that could suffocate you or put
you unconscious, and I can turn myself into the smoke too. Oh, and I'm
Jynx's twin."

"Whoa, so what time is it?"

John: "5:30, why?"

"I'm wanna' go see Storm in her garden."

John/Bobby: "I'll go with you."

Bobby: "No, I'll go."

John: "No, you can finish your pool game."

Bobby: "The game can wait."

{Hello, Robert? Can you hear me?}

Robert: {Yeah, whats up?}

{Um, to they always argue like this.}

Robert: {Yeah, but not over people, much less a boy. You want me too help?}

{Wait I like being argued over with two hotties.}

Robert: {Are you gay?}

{No, I'm bi. I get the best of both worlds.}

Robert: {Cool, I'm gay. Now can I help? They're about to kill each other.}
Bobby's hands were covered in ice and John had his lighter out.

{Yeah.}

Robert: "Guy, why don't you both take him?"

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind."

Bobby/John: "OK."

{Thanks Robert.}

Robert: {Call me Robbie.}

{Cool.}

Well John and Bobby both took me to go see Storm but the whole time they
were cursing and say in all of this stuff in their head.

"Um, John, Bobby? Could you two like stop shouting all this stuff in your
heads? It's killin' me. And I'm not even that good of a telepath."

John: "Oh, sorry Jamie Lee. I forgot that you could read minds." {Bobby is
not getting' him. He is mine. Bobby better watch his back.}

Bobby: "Yeah, sorry Jamie. I'll make sure to whisper next time." I laughed.

"I don't think that you can whisper in your head."

Bobby: {John isn't gonna' get him. I'm gonna' do all in my power to get
Jamie. Even if I'm 16, this 13 year old is too much to resist.}

(OH. My. God. These two are both hot for me. Me like. But then they're
gonna' kill each other. Well, I'll let `em fight for now, I need something
to keep my mind off of Michael. In the mean time I have to find some way to
get out of their heads, before I find out too much.)

We finally made it to Storm's gigantic green house. I walked in and could
smell: Lily's, honeysuckle, mint, and all kinds of stuff. When I got in I
felt so good, it was like my powers got a boost.

Storm: "Hey, honey."

"Hey Storm, do you have any seeds? I feel great, like I could grow a full
grown tree in a day."

Storm: "The only seeds that I have right now are grape."

"Cool, I wanna' try them then."

Storm went to the back and brought back a flowerpot with a little pole
stuck in the middle.

John: "Is it ok if we watch?"

Bobby: "Yeah, it'll be fun to watch the Weather Wizard in action." I
blushed, which earned me a smile from both of them and I blushed harder.

"OK, then." I concentrated on the grape seeds and they started to grow up
the pole.

John: "Cool."

Bobby: "Dude this is amazing."

Jubilee: "Hey, guys we came to watch Jamie Lee in action."

All of the guys had came to watch me and gathered around me to watch.

Robert: "Amazing."

Jynx: "I wish that I could do that."

And well things got kind of bad after that, all of the attention got to
me. The vines started to grow out of control and started to wrap around
their ankles.

Amara: "Ah! Get it off! Get it off!"

She started to shoot fire balls of fire at the vines but they just got
burned and came back to life. Jubilee started blowing the vines up and
Bruce started to rip them apart and Jynx mad a shield and the vines came to
life and started really attack us all. Storm was shocking them but they
just came back at her. Darrin's hands started to secrete some smoke that
killed the vines and they started to die. Not a good idea; smoke in a green
house, the smoke went up to the sprinklers and they went off drenching all
of us and the vines went crazy.

Storm: "Jamie stop the vines!"

"I can't! They're doing it by their self!"

Bobby: "Oh forget it! X-Men Defense 2!"

"X-what?"

Well I sure got my answer. Amara turned to here fire form and Bobby and
Anna went full ice form. Allison turned to complete mist and was moving
around the room killing the vines and Darrin did the same thins in his
smoke form. Jynx turned invisible and Kitty phased through the vines.

Scott: "Storm, the sensors said that there was trouble... oh my god, what
happened?"

Storm: "Jamie Lee was giving us a demonstration and it got out of control!
Scott help us!"

Scott: "Sure thing." He took off his glasses and shot a laser from his
eyes, and it actually worked. And when he saw done we were all soaking wet.

Scott: "OK kids, go get cleaned up the Professor wants to see all of us
before dinner."

Bruce: "Score!" He and Robert did a high five.

Bobby: "I'll sow you to your room."

John: "No, I'll do it. It's right next to mine."

"Yeah, Bobby you should get cleaned up. You shouldn't go out of your way
for me."

Bobby: "OK."

Scott: "OK guys, go."

We all left and John took me to my room.

"Thanks John."

John: "No prob, the grapes were pretty good when they weren't trying to
kill us." I blushed and he laughed.

John: "I'll come and get you to show you to the professor's office."

"Thanks."

I closed the door and unpacked my clothes and took a hot shower. I decided
to arrange my part of the room (There was another bed on the other side of
the room.) until John came to get me. I set up my stereo and put in my Pink
CD and turned it to Sober. And when I was done John came and got me.

John: "You've been busy."

"Yep, so where's the Professor's office."

John: "This way."

He took me to the north wing of the mansion and right before we entered the
room he managed to slip his arm around my shoulders. And I already knew
why; {He wants to piss of Bobby.} we entered the room and was greeted by a
whole group of people, three of whom I didn't know. And boy did Bobby look
pissed.

Prof. X: "Hello Jamie, John."

"Good evening Professor."

Prof. X: "Well I'll get right to the point since a few of our students are
getting rambunctious." Bruce looked eager for something.

"OK, so what have you called me here for?"

Prof. X: "Well I'd like to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Raleigh and--"

"Hank P. McCoy, you're a famous scholar."

Hank: "It seems that you know me, well then we can skip the intros and get
to the real business."

Prof. X: "Well Jamie, I'm sure that most of us know what your mutant
abilities are, but we want to make sure that they are your only powers."

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Raleigh: "I'll answer that. My mutant ability allows me to determine
other's mutant abilities."

"OK, so how are you going to do that?"

Mr. Raleigh: "Please, just give me your hand and I will check your energy
levels and determine your mutant abilities."

I placed my hand in his and he like went blank for a few seconds and then
came back.

Mr. Raleigh: (shacking his hand) "OK, he's an Omega alright--"

Jean: "Alright guys, pay up." Jean and Storm took money from Logan and
Scott and Bobby and John took money from: Darrin, Allison, Jynx, and James.

Mr. Raleigh: "OK now that your bets are done. He is a Psionic Elemental,
but he also has minor healing abilities."

Prof. X: "OK now that we know that we can commence with the finally. Jamie
we would like to ask you to join the X-Men."

"The thing that Bobby talked about in the green house?"

Prof. X: "Yes. The X-Men are a group of select mutants that's purpose is do
defend the world from a group of unruly mutants called the Brotherhood. We
have recently created a type of cadet X-Men team and we would like to ask
you to join, but first you must pledge to secrecy."

"Sure, sounds like I could really learn to control my powers and won't have
another event like the grape vine."

Prof. X: "Yes so, you will have to well create a codename for your self."

"OK I'll tell you when I think of one."

Prof. X: "Excellent, X-Men dismissed."

We all left and went to the dinning hall. The whole time John had his hand
around my shoulders and then he slowly mad his way around my waist. And to
add to that he was practically shouting mentally at Bobby. It was too hard
to block out. And to add to that Bobby was cursing him out so much; it was
amazing someone so cute be so mean.

John: {Ha Bobby! Take that! Jamie is so mine!}

Bobby: {John I am gonna' kill you; you blowhard, hothead son of a bitch.}

{Uh, Robbie?}

Robbie: {Yeah?}

{Do you like hear these two?}

Robbie: {Who?}

{Bobby and John.}

Robbie: {Let me see what they're sayin'...... damn boy, these two are
gonna' battle it out for you. I didn't even know that they were gay.}

{It's kind of fun, but I'm startin' to get a headache.}

Robbie: {I'll help you.} "Guys, its like almost curfew and Jamie has
training to do tomorrow."

John: "Yeah guys, Jamie needs all the sleep he can get."

Jamie: "Yeah, I'm pretty beat."

Jubilee: "Later, I'm beat too, see you guys tomorrow."

There was a few goodnights and John lead me to my room after glaring at a
fuming Bobby.

John: "Night grapes." He gave me a little hug and left for his room right
across the hall. When I finally got in my room I went over today's events.

(whoa all this in one day; almost too much for one guy. Almost.)

I went to sleep on that thought. A deep dreamless sleep.
