Introductions & Training…
[POV Jean]
I opened the door and found Fleur standing there, I don't know the reason but she looked really happy. "Good morning, Fleur. What can I do for you?" I greeted Fleur.
"Good morning. Oh, I just came to call you both for breakfast" Fleur said.
"Uh, yeah sure. But first, let us get freshened up then we will join you" I said, Fleur, nodded her head and gave me the directions, and then left. After Fleur left both me and Ororo got freshened up, taking turns. After getting dressed in fresh clothes I followed Fleur's directions and found the whole group sitting waiting for food.
Reo was cooking… ah, I have missed his food. I saw four more girls on the table. One of the girls was slightly glowing and had elf-like pointed ears, the other girl had a dreamy look on her face. She looked like a child in an adult body and the last girl had silver glowing hair with a pair of bunny ears on her head. Are they real ears or a prop? I guess they are real… after all, Nemuri had her fox ears and foxtails.
The silver-haired girl with bunny ears was the first one to notice us. "I remember you, you came along with that fool on wheels" the woman spoke while looking towards Ororo. Have they met before? The last woman was also a redhead, but she looked quite normal to me.
"Yes, I see you still remember me. The last time I didn't get your name though" Ororo spoke slightly peeved.
"Rumi Usagiyama, I am glad that you decided to leave that fool's group" the silver-haired woman now named Rumi spoke.
"Hello, my name is Luna Lovegood, its nice to meet you too, Jean Grey. Will you give my greetings to the Phoenix inside you?" the dreamy-looking girl introduced herself to me. I was really stumped… she is quite an outgoing girl.
"My name is Momo Yaoyorozu, please don't mind about her. She is just like that… don't get stumped like that" the glowing woman with elf ears introduced herself. Yes, I was surprised to see Luna greet me like that after all, she shouldn't have known that I was able to talk with my Phoenix.
'She is a true seer, that is why she knew about me' I heard the Phoenix voice inside my head. True seer?? Does that mean she has the ability to see the future??
"My name is Natasha Romanoff, like you, I am also new here" the other redhead introduced herself.
After that, I introduced myself and sat down like the others. I saw Ororo was talking with Rumi, all these girls looked really close and I am not stupid that I wouldn't notice that all of these girls are involved with Reo. How does this even work though? Maybe I will ask them later…
The food was finally ready and the girls helped Reo to set up the table. I was shocked to see how much food Momo was surrounded by. She isn't going to eat all that, right?
"Are you going to eat all that food?" Ororo wasn't able to hold back her shock and asked Momo in a bewildered tone.
"Yes, this is my usual diet" Momo said and started to eat her food. She eats like that regularly?? That must be insane… I looked at Momo in utter fascination while she ate all that food.
[Oval Office, White House]
"So Mister Xavier, why did you decide to turn against your kind and decided to help us?" the President asked in a hard tone. General Newman (OC) brought Charles Xavier to meet with the President. Last night, after the others from his mansion, left with Fleur he contacted General Newman and promised him that he will help the humans.
In the morning the President had already announced that mutants won't be harmed and if anyone is found hurting mutants then they will be severely punished. After the President heard that a powerful mutant has come forward to help them, he decided to change his speech… he wanted to give the order to take the mutants to the given locations but now that he had gotten a hold of an inside man he could strike back… well, that was the plan, so he decided to buy some time by saying that no mutants should be hurt.
"When I was young I had taken a vow that I will never use my powers to hurt humans… I will only use my power to protect them. So, when my own kind decided to hurt you… I decided to stand against them" Charles spoke in a grim voice.
The President looked contemplative for a few moments, he had made a stupid decision before but there is no way he was going to do that again. Yes, he is now feeling the true pressure… his wife was killed by mutants but he shouldn't have taken such an action against all the mutants. That was why Leviathan attacked them in such a manner and left them crippled.
Now if he decides to take any action against Leviathan, he needed to be sure he could win, if not Leviathan might outright start slaughtering people. There was still another problem… no one knew what Leviathan's power was. Some speculated hacking… that he could hack into anything with his mind but they couldn't say anything for sure.
"And how are you going to help me?" the President asked with thinned lips.
"I already have someone I trust in there… he will be able to provide me any information" Charles said, the President nodded. Yes, having an inside man was good but can his inside man get the information required? Yes, if we do this then there would be no going back.
"So, what do you need Mr. Xavier?" the President asked leaning back on his chair.
"I will be needing access to Cerebro" Charles replied with a smile.
"And, what is this Cerebro?" the President asked.
"Mr. President, the Cerebro is…" with that Charles started to explain about Cerebro to the President. What neither of them knew was that their meeting was being recorded by the AI Momo made.
[POV Reo]
When everyone finally finished their food, I decided to speak up. I know that Charles Xavier will go to the human authorities and try to help them… now the thing I want to know is, is he going to do all this on his own or does he have more than one spy here. I know very well that he had sent Scott here as a spy.
"Fleur, can I request something?" I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Jean speak up to Fleur.
"Sure, what can I help you with?" Fleur asked Jean with a smile.
"I wanted to ask you if you can help me with my training?" Jean asked meekly. Fleur just nodded her head with a smile and happily agreed to train Jean.
My eyes immediately turned in Ororo's direction. I had heard from Rumi that Ororo has a magical core. My sensory powers are very different than Rumi's and I trust Rumi's judgment and there is no harm in at least trying.
"Ororo, Rumi had noticed something special inside you" I spoke bringing everyone's attention to me. Ororo immediately looked towards Rumi with a questioning look.
"Ororo, I think you have a magical core inside of you" Rumi said surprising everyone except me and Luna in the room while Jean was just confused.
"What's a magical core?" Before anyone could speak Jean asked with a worried tone in her voice.
"That means, she can perform magic but I thought there would be no one in this world with a magical core" Momo explained and then turned her eyes in my direction with a questioning look.
I just shrugged "this world is a big place… obviously, I can't know everything like Luna" I shrugged once again.
"Magic! You mean magic is real?" Ororo asked in a shocked voice.
"Of course, it is" Momo said and conjured a cat out of thin air. Then she converted one of her plates into a ceramic tablet. This surprised both Jean and Ororo.
"You are saying that I can learn this magic?" Ororo asked with a mix of curious and excited tones.
"Nemuri can help Ororo with the magic. If she is good with charms you will train her and if she is good with curses then I will train her" I spoke looking towards Nemuri. She just cackled madly while nodding her head… Ororo was quite disturbed to see that.
"Is she supposed to do that?" Ororo asked in a worried tone.
"Don't worry, she is just excited because she got someone to corrupt" Rumi spoke with pity in her voice. Ororo looked at everyone in the room and everyone except Luna and me were looking at her with pity in their eyes.
"Corrupt?" Ororo and Jean asked at the same time in a confused tone.
"Oh, don't listen to them… I will take care of you" Nemuri said with an assuring tone but her facial expressions were telling something completely different. She had a perverted leer on her face and she also licked her lips after she spoke.
Neither Ororo nor Jean looked quite assured, good girls, they have a good head on their shoulders. They must learn to sense threats… unfortunately Dora and Natasha were unlucky. Well, Dora was small and didn't have the skill to sense threats while Natasha is simply unlucky that Nemuri decided to pay special attention to her.
"Reo, I am going to Knox to bring Attila… she is feeling bored, I haven't taken her out for a walk" Luna said and vanished. I didn't even feel anything, this must be her teleportation ability… I feel sorry for everyone on the island, they are going to get the scare of their life…
