Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters (2)

Aegon thought about Charles's words. In my previous life, many judged Xavier as a hypocrite who always took the side of humans and not his own race. For me, the professor's personality was never a problem, I've always said that those with powers are free to choose how they use it. There are many who say that he could solve the problem of the mutants if he wanted to, I'm not so sure, this world always has something that can surprise you. There are many things that Charles with his powers could achieve and world domination is one of them, but instead of doing something like that, here he is running a school for mutants.

His way of being is no different from superheroes like Batman or Superman. They have a rule and they follow it at all costs many times regardless of the consequences.

Charles believes in peaceful coexistence and fights for it following their own rules, Batman and Superman no matter what, they will never kill their enemies and this is something that many criticize, but Batman and Superman have no obligation to protect or fight for anyone. . Those are rules, their beliefs, because they should change them, just to satisfy some. I remember reading somewhere that one of the comics Charles went on to found a nation for mutants. What have the rest of the mutants done for them?

I think no one has the right to demand from Charles how he should use his powers or want to make him responsible for not saving the mutants.

"I understand. I wouldn't mind giving you a hand where I can, but I warn you that I only care about the people close to me, the rest may disappear and I wouldn't mind at all. I admire your desire for a peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants, although I see it almost impossible, maybe if he starts to use his power over the people who dominate this world and the media to ensure the good image of mutants. It's the only way I can think of at the moment."

The professor was quite surprised at Aegon's response and the nonchalance with which he said it. "You are quite harsh on this world. What kind of life have you experienced to be so indifferent to others? There is much worth fighting for, Aegon."

"I inform you that I have never wanted my life to be different. Despite having grown up in a foster home, I never lacked affection, I was always quite charismatic and handsome as a child. I do not deny your words that there is much for what it is worth worth fighting, it's just that so far the only thing worth fighting for me is some people, Ororo is one of them so I ask you to take good care of her."

"Ororo, you only met yesterday and you already consider her important to you?"

"It's something I decided from the moment I saw her, because, I don't care, it's what I decided and I don't need to look for more reasons. That's how I am." The way he spoke to Charles seemed like that of a tyrant. The truth is that before coming to this world, Ororo was always his favorite character among the Marvel girls.

"I guess I'll consider Ororo lucky to have a guardian angel."

"I think guardian demon would be better. You talked about dreams earlier. Tell me, have you ever thought about creating a nation for mutants? A place that serves as a sanctuary, where they won't be shunned and persecuted or hunted like beasts. A home where all mutants They will be protected."

"A nation and how do you think I could do something like that?"

"I don't know yet. But the idea seems less fantastic to me than their peaceful coexistence."

Charles could only laugh. The boy had indeed turned out to be someone he hadn't expected. Now more than ever he wanted to see what his capabilities were. After so much talking they had reached the backyard of the mansion where a group of boys were playing volleyball, Aegon only recognized a few of them.

Charles's voice caught everyone's attention. "Guys, I thought Logan would have told you by now that you have a visitor."

"Aegon!" Rogue exclaimed. "I'm glad you came." Her attitude towards Aegon had taken a 180º turn.

Aegon waved back as the girl approached. "I'm glad to see you too Rogue."

Rogue had finished her turn at the game and had removed her gloves to wipe the sweat off with a towel. So she surprised everyone who hadn't met Aegon at the Café that Rogue walked over to the boy who had just arrived and hugged him without a problem.

"So it's true." One of the boys Aegon didn't know yet commented.

"Hello Aegon." The one who greeted this time was Jean.

"Hi Jean, you look good." Everyone understood what Aegon was talking about by the look he gave Jean, which made Rogue uncomfortable and made Jean blush a little.

Scott.

Scott just nodded.

"Come let me introduce you all." Rogue took him by the arm and brought him closer to the court where everyone was.

"Let's start with the girls, the one on the right is Kitty, the other girl is Alison." When Rogue mentioned them the girls greeted Aegon. Both girls were entranced by Aegon's appearance, which was not welcomed by the boys.

"The blue-skinned boy is Kurt." Kurt greeted Aegon with a smile, it wasn't every day a person saw him and he didn't seem to have a problem with his appearance. "The serious one in the background is Scott's little brother, Alex." Hearing that the other boy was Scott's brother, Aegon smiled. "You must not have it easy." Alex didn't seem to understand, but everyone except Scott was laughing at his words.

After recovering Rogue continued. "Come on, that over there is Bobby, Sean, John and John again. This big guy over here is Piotr, but we call him Peter, then there's Darwin and Calvin."

"That's all of us at the academy."

"Hello everyone. Rogue, where is Ororo?"

"A few minutes ago she entered the house, she should be here by now. Look there she is."

Aegon glanced to where Rogue was pointing and watched as Ororo walked up to where they all were.

"Aegon, you came and you seem to have met all the boys and the professor too. Tell me what do you think of the academy?"

"Full of wonders. Right now I'm looking at one of them."

Ororo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed that Aegon would talk to her like this in front of all of her companions.

"Yesterday we heard a bit about you, they say you have powers like us, but you're not a mutant. And now we see you all loving Rogue. What are you?" The person she had asked was Kurt.

"A human of course, an incredibly handsome, charming, and manly one. What else could he be?"

No one could tell if it was the words or the way she said them. But the boys felt like they wanted to beat him up and the girls just smiled and inside they thought the boy wasn't lying.

One of the boys who seemed to have an arrogant face at all times could not help containing her annoyance. "If you're so amazing why don't you show us what you're capable of. Many here have impressive abilities, show us what you have."

Jean aware of how John is usually and how proud he is to be a mutant she was going to call John out for his behavior, but Aegon spoke before she could say anything. Unfortunately her response only added fuel to the fire and annoyed some of the boys.

"Why would I have to do something like that? Demonstrations of power to reaffirm that I am better than the rest are things that those with inferiority complexes do."

This time it was not John who expressed his disagreement with Aegon. "Maybe I'm wrong, but by the way you talk, are you implying that you're better than us?"

"It's just a way of speaking, don't take it personally. If I'm better or not than others is something that some people decide for themselves, for me in particular something like that has nothing of importance. Of course, let me give you a Council, being a mutant does not put you in control of the food chain. There are many out there more powerful than you can imagine and they are not mutants."

The boys looked incredulous, but that changed when they heard the words of the teacher who seemed surprised at the answer Aegon had given Calvin. "It seems that your knowledge of the world we live in is greater than I could have anticipated."

"Wait professor, are you implying that his words could be true?" Scott was surprised, if something like that was true as the professor had never mentioned it to him, he was his favorite after all.

"What Aegon says is true Scott. We're not the only ones with special abilities out there. But all of that will be a topic for future conversation. Today is your recreation day, take advantage of it."

Jean did not seem satisfied. "Excuse me professor, but you can't say that there are other people who are not mutants who have powers and then expect that we don't want to know more about it."
