《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension
Advertisement
A/N: Many of you might not know this but in the Original timeline of the X-Men Trilogy, Charles Xavier is solely responsible for Jean going nuts. When Jean was only 10 years old, Charles and Erik went together to meet Jean Grey. They found the Jean was able to completely control her powers and the Phoenix Force. She was able to lift up cars of the whole block without even trying. Charles was scared because of her power and decided to lock it away. During the X2 movie those blocks finally started to crumble and Phoenix got free but it was Dark Phoenix because of the anger of being imprisoned for so long.
Charles tries to imprison the Phoenix once again during the X-Men Last Stand and that is when Jean kills Charles.
----------------------------------------
[Xavier Mansion, New York]
In a meeting room, four people have gathered for an urgent meeting.
"So, what do you think about this young man?" Charles asked looking towards Ororo and Jean. After all, they were the ones who have spent the most time with Itsuki Reo.
"Sarcastic, funny, he has a weird sense of humor but I don't think there is any problem with him" Ororo said and Jean also agreed with her.
"Have you been able to read his mind, Jean?" Charles asked Jean.
"No, Professor, I feel that his mind is being some kind of barrier" Jean said and Charles looked contemplative.
"How can that be? You said he has lightning powers, right?" Scott spoke up for the first time.
"Yes" Ororo answered his question.
"I am also facing the same problem" Charles said but both Jean and Ororo looked put off because of his facial expression.
"But I don't think that would be a problem, right?" Ororo asked looking slightly peeved.
"No, of course not" Charles said with his grandfatherly smile back on his face. But inside he was still worried, he didn't know if this Itsuki Reo was a government spy or not, he was worried about the safety of his students. This was the reason he liked to read minds… without reading someone's mind he can't trust them. So, he decided to watch Itsuki Reo closely for now.
After that they didn't have anything more to discuss, Scott tried to talk with Jean but she scoffed and walked away. Ororo and Charles also left the room, but Charles once again reminded Scott to control his anger.
[POV Reo]
For the first time in several years, I woke up without my girls in my bed. Last night I was unable to sleep properly, I opened my backpack and took out fresh clothes to wear. After finishing my morning rituals, I left the room and went towards the kitchen. Last night, Ororo had told me that I could use the ingredients in the fridge and cook for myself if needed. They didn't have any cooks in the mansion.

I arrived in the kitchen and checked the fridge and found only eggs and bacon. Well, fried egg and bacon will be enough for breakfast. It was still early so I didn't know if I would be bothered by any kids or not.
Thankfully, I was able to have my breakfast in complete peace. But I wasn't lucky enough to leave the kitchen before the kids arrived. It was Bobby Drake aka Iceman, John Allerdyce aka Pyro, Kitty Pryde aka Shadowcat, and an Asian-looking girl. I didn't exactly remember her name… well, she wasn't an important character.
"Hello, are you new here?" Bobby asked me, of course, you moron I am new here. If I wasn't new here then you would have seen me before. Ugh… teenagers, what more can I expect from them.
"Yes, I arrived here yesterday" I said and introduced myself to them. Bobby was like any other teenager, John was a delinquent, Kitty was a shy girl, and the Asian girl was named Jubilee was an outgoing girl.
"Looks like you have made new acquaintances" Ororo spoke to me from the door.
"Yeah… nice kids" I said with a smile, I didn't know what more to say.
"But you kind of look older to attend classes" Bobby said with a confused look.
"I have already finished school, so I won't be attending classes along with you guys" I said to them. I told Ororo that I needed to buy some new clothes, she told me that the classes for powers don't start until the evening so I was free to do whatever I wanted throughout the day.
I thanked her and went to the garage… I found Scott was working on a car. An evil grin appeared on my face.
"So, did you find a young boy to confess your love?" I asked Scott in a mocking tone. Scott's face was red in anger and he was so close to snapping. But, unluckily Jean had a really bad timing… the fool was saved by Jean. If I had said anything more he would have definitely attacked me. I stopped when I felt Jean coming towards the garage.
I put on my helmet and got on my bike when Jean finally walked into the garage and found Scott looking in my direction with an enraged look on his face. Jean scolded Scott which made him even angrier… unfortunately I had to leave and I wasn't able to stay and watch the whole drama.
I found a mall and after buying some new clothes I sat down in a café and started to chat with the girls. Dora had to leave in the morning for her interview so I wasn't able to chat with her. After having a nice steak for lunch, I decided to return to Xavier Mansion. I know for sure that Charles was keeping an eye on me… that is why I didn't teleport to Knox.

They had a nice garden in Xavier Mansion so after arriving at the Mansion I spent the whole afternoon lazing around in the grass under the shade of a tree. I miss my girls! I was suddenly brought out my thoughts when I received a text from Dora saying that she was selected but she needed to attend one year of mandatory training before she could join active service.
Thankfully Charles was teaching a class now so he wasn't watching me. I congratulated Dora, she was annoyed that I wasn't able to congratulate her personally but she understood that I was undercover and didn't mind it much.
I checked the time and saw that it was almost time for my classes so I quickly got up and left. I didn't know the classroom was so I went to Ororo's office. I sensed that she was still inside. Her door was open but she was busy with some paperwork so I knocked on the door.
"Oh… you are already here? Let me finish these then I will lead you to the class" Ororo said gesturing towards the papers on her table.
"Oh yeah sure, take your time" I said to her and decided to wait. I didn't need to learn anything about my powers from them but I needed to play the act. After a few minutes, she was finally done and led me to a door, it needed a code to open the door. Ororo lead me underground inside a huge room, I saw that the other kids were already waiting there along with Jean.
It must be that special scenario creation room that they showed in the later movies but now it doesn't look that advanced. All the kids and Jean were dressed in their X-Men costumes. I felt melancholic remembering my own Armor I used during my Hero Days and as Dark Lord Magneto. Ororo left me with them to get changed.
"So, do you like this place?" Jean asked me.
"I do… I have to say I am quite impressed with the Mansion and everything. So, is this where you teach mutants to control their powers?" I asked her looking around the room. I know it was a pretty stupid question after all Ororo brought me here but I had to act like an 18-year-old.
"Yes, this is a special training room built for only that specific purpose" Jean said with a smile on her face. The other kids gathered around me and started to ask questions about my school and Japan. Apparently, they found out that I was born and grown up in Japan and they were quite interested to know about that.
After some time, Scott and Charles arrived too… they said that they were going to have a group battle but I was going to just watch them for today. They wanted me to notice how the others use their powers in a non-lethal way. I didn't mind this at all after all if they made me participate in the fight then I would have to purposefully lose control of my power. Quite complicated, I was happy to sit on the sidelines if my cover wasn't blown.
Throughout the whole fight, I closely watched Jean and Ororo. I watched Jean because she was one of my main objectives for coming here, I wanted to see if the seals placed by the old fool have already started to break or not. In the X2 movie, she had started to lose control, but she didn't show any of those signs now. She might be hiding them well… I used Legilimency and found she wasn't, she was currently immersed in the fight.
I was watching Ororo because of her powers, I know that our powers are different but I could get some kind of inspiration from her powers and I did get some inspiration. I can rain thunders from the sky like Ororo was doing. I could feel that I would be able to do it but I definitely needed to train to do that.
"So, did you learn something?" Charles asked me in a grandfatherly tone.
"Yes… I noticed, how they are holding themselves back and all of them avoid any kind of confrontation that could lead to a lethal injury" I spoke while they were still fighting.
"Yes, but they just don't hold back here… they always need to hold back so that they don't hurt someone by accident" Charles said looking quite proud of the kids and the adults.
"That is what I am trying to achieve, I want to show everyone that mutants and humans can live in peace" Charles said with a smile and started to pay attention to the fight. If you honestly believe that then you are the biggest fool in the whole world.
Humans always fear the unknown and mutants are currently the unknown to them. This is in human nature… their basic instincts and you can't change either of them. And those who do know about mutants would either try to control them, weaponize them or learn their secrets by experimenting on them. Humans would never stop doing it and they do it because they can't think of themselves being inferior.
One more example of this is Witch Hunts in HP World, the people from Church knew that witches and wizards are just normal humans with magic but they can't withstand the thought that they were inferior and made up the Gods Agenda to burn down witches and wizards…
