Andrew's P.O.V

Looking at the report on the Tv, I realized that all sorts of organizations, ranging from the undying Hydra to the global spy S.H.I.E.L.D must have already seen me from the scene me and realized that i was that dude that killed lots of people in that city.

Shit, shit, shit, they're coming aren't they?

Damn! There goes my plan to stay hidden till I'm strong enough..

I just wanted to relax for gods' sake!

Hssss, take a deep breath, Andrew. Think a plan..

While I am confident in my current abilities right now, I am still not sure what trump cards does the government holds, for all i know they maybe hiding the Golden freaking Sentry or worse... Blue Marvel.. Fuck!

Okay calm down...

Charles Xavier P.O.V

Looking at Ororo lying on the bed with a gunshot wound on her abdomen, I felt anger rising within me but i quickly suppressed this negative thoughts since they're not gonna help me in this situation..

Though according to Mr. Detmer, the ones who attacked them seems to be soldiers, but i can't believe it. I have been in good terms with some high officials of the government and even the president himself so there's no way they would just attack us our of nowhere.

I couldn't stop my curiosity as i found myself activating my ability and shuffling through the memories of the kid named Tom that they brought with them and watching what they really faced..

I couldn't help but frown as i watched Mr. Detmer telekinetically lifting the whole road that they just passed and smashing that said road to their pursuers..

Some of those managed to escape that man-made disaster but most was squashed and smashed inside their cars ruthlessly...

Mr. Detmer is.. Merciless..

And then at the end i saw how he returned the missile to their enemies without through the memories of Mr. Da Costa..

Mr. Detmer was smiling?..

Pulling back my Telepathy from their minds.. I got into an argument with Mr. Detmer regarding what he just did but he was adamant in his opinion and seems won't want to listen to others.

For him.. It was kill or to be killed.

This line of thought of his is dangerous and i have only encountered this kind of mindset in those who have rejected and discarded their own morality.

And one question bugged me seeing him like that; was the Andrew that he have shown us for the past two months only a front to hide his true nature? or is he brewing a deeper and sinister plot in that empty mind of his?

But in the end, saying i was disappointed to what he had done was truly an understatement as i have never seen someone with that kind of smile plastered on their face while they take a life out of someone.. It was like.. He was enjoying it..

I had mistakenly thought that he had changed.. But no..

With him like this.. He's not just a danger to those who attacked them.. But also to us.. and i have to do something about that..

3rd Person P.O.V

All the students of the institute was now gathering at the living as Charles Xavier, their beloved professor, called for them. He reached out to all their minds that he has an announcement to make regarding the state of condition of their female teacher; Ororo.

All the students, from kids to teenagers murmured and whispered to each other with a concerned look on their faces.

Hank and Alex revealed themselves from the corridor, walking, along with Peter Rasputin and the beloved principal of their school.

Alex Summers sported a solemn look on his face as he face the gathering students, who now was feeling their hearts sinking from worry after seeing his serious look.

*Pa!*

Kitty who arrived with Hank rolled her eyes and clapped her hands to take the students' attention, seeing them looking at her, she spoke "Don't worry guys, Ms. Ororo is safe and that will continue since she's now here, don't believe this guy, he's just messing with you all."

"Tch" Alex clicked his toungue in mock annoyance but smiled after seeing the relief wash over the faces of the kids.

""Thank god!"" The students all expressed their relief in their own ways as the worry all left their faces.

"You will also be able to meet the new student but later, because as of now, he's taking a rest along with Ms. Ororo, be sure to be nice with him okay?" Hank McCoy spoke as the kids all nodded with a smile on their faces, clearly excited at meeting and having a new friend.

"Now now, since it has been a long day for all of us.. I, have decided to give you all the rest of the day to rest and calm your exhausted minds. No classes for today. You can all go now" Charles Xavier who felt the fatigued minds of his precious students decided to double their happiness with a smile.

""Yey!!"" The students, specifically the younger ones, immediately stood up and shouted in ecstasy as they all began scramble away, about to do their own things.

The older students like Scott, Bobby, Jean and the others also smiled seeing them like this, feeling their exhausted minds rejuvenate just seeing the little gremlins genuine smiles.

But their smiles didn't stay long on their faces as one of the kids who happened to look at the window exclaimed as he pointed at the window "Wow! Look! We have visitors."

Andrew who was sitting peacefully on the couch perked up after hearing the kid as a wry smile made its way on his face as he sighed..

All the attention of the people in the room was grabbed as they collectively made their way to the windows to take a look.

In the green grounds of the properties of the Xavier Family, numerous black suv's drove in a straight line entering the gates of the mansion as it opened automatically.

*Whoosh*

*Screeech*

The suv's quickly reached the forefront of the majestic mansion as they all spread all over the big space.

All its doors opened in a rhythmic manner as numerous people in a three-piece-suit climbed down as they all quickly moved and formed an organized formation.

The last car that still hasn't opened its door... opened, as a black man in a thick black trench coat, wearing a black eye-patch, climbed down and revealed all his balding glory, he is accompanied by another man who also climbed down and stood by his side.

Charles Xavier who also took a look at the windows furrowed his brows seeing Nick Fury and his trusted agent Phil Coulson.

He controlled his wheelchair to turn around and move towards the exit as the rest also followed him curiously, but also cautious towards the gate crashers.

Andrew yawned after seeing the director of the top global spy organization and began cracking his knuckles as he also followed them to the outside while grabbing a bowl of nuts along the way.

Outside

"Old friend, what brings you to our humble abode.." Charles Xavier smiled as he got outside and immediately greets his long time "friend"

"Oh please, Charles, this place is no humble, it still amazes every time i go here and see this place.." Fury began a greeting while also responding with a smile.

".. Hoho, that i am really proud of.." Charles stroked his chin as if he's a great sage but then his face serious as he continued with "But I'm pretty sure you didn't come here bringing a whole battalion of your agents just to admire our home... right?"

"Well, I am not gonna beat around the bush anymore... Ahem.. " Fury also got serious as he coughed and spoke with high voice for everyone to hear him "We're the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division or S.H.I.E.L.D for short and for context, we deal with global safety, and the reason for our visit here is related to global safety once again. We are here for one of your students, named Andrew Detmer. We believe that he has contacted something that will endanger not only our country.. But this whole planet..

So if you would be so kind to hand him peacefully.. Then we will have no further problem.. We will just take him.. Cuff him and we will immediately go away.. But if you resist to hand him over.. Then you will leave us no choice." At that sentence, Fury's look took on an edge as he signals his men subtly.

He knows how dangerous Charles Xavier can be and the mutants themselves, he also knows that the professor is always sensitive when it comes to his students so before coming here, he brought with him his own version of the Mutant Containment Unit who blended within his normal agents.

They brought with them shock guns that releases high voltage that induces paralysis to a mutant and human alike and the Mutant Inhibitor Collar that the Trask Industries just recently produced for the government.

All the students like Scott, Bobby, Rogue and the New Mutants's face was full of confusion hearing what the guy – wearing such thick clothes in middle of the hot day – just said, as they all, began turning their heads to look at Andrew who was nonchalantly munching on some peanuts inside the small container he's holding..

*Munch* *Munch*

Jean's eye brows furrowed as she saw what this agents brought with them through their memories and was about to confront them regarding this when the next sentence of Xavier shocked not only her but the whole student body, teachers and even Fury himself.

"*Sigh*.. With all the things that has happened.." Charles Xavier took on a defeated expression and looks as if he was about to make the biggest decision of his life "You can get what you came for.."

All the students' eyes widened hearing his words as they turned to him with a face full of unbelief and shock.

"W-wait professor! What are you saying, you can't just give Andrew to this guys like that. W-what is this?" Rahne immediately voiced out her thoughts as she took a step towards the professor.

"Y-yes... You can't just do that–..." Sam also said as the rest of the new mutants immediately also followed as all of them voiced their thoughts with the exception of Illyana who was just narrowing her eyes.

"What the fuck is happening now–..." Pyro himself muttered to himself as he also narrowed his eyes.

Andrew on the other hand stops eating his favorite snack with one eye brow raised in genuine surprise hearing what Charles just said.

He was surprised by the fact that this man, Charles Xavier, who had almost spends his entire life just to protect his fellow mutants, would just give him to them like this, most probably knowing the fact what this men in his front will do to him..

He thought about different reasons and ideas in his head at the same time to come up with an answer but all he got was the fact that his morals contradicts and opposes the teachings of the baldie. He also connected the fact that maybe his past history as the deranged murderer from Seattle was also the catalyst that made him give up on him.

'Maybe my acting has dulled?' Andrew thought curiously as he was pretty sure that he have been pretty good and was actively socializing with everyone for the past two months that he had actually even shown some genuine feelings here and there.

Andrew's thoughts were interrupted when something tugged slightly at his clothes, looking down, he saw a little girl the age of eight, this girl was one of those mutants who was abandoned by their parents and became homeless but fortunately encountered the wandering Kitty and was brought to the mansion.

This girl was one of those kids that Andrew has chosen to actively interact with as will play with them in the yard and will make them fly with his telekinesis which was always their favorite as they would laugh and smile happily.

The little girl looked up at Andrew with her big, bright eyes that was now dimmer as it held glimmer of sadness within them. She spoke "Are you leaving us? Are you not going to come back? But how will i be able to fly again?"

The kids the same her age also walked near Andrew as they also looked up at him, The invisible kid that was saved by Andrew in the Scott Incident was also among them as he also spoke "Yes, Sarah's right, how will we be able to fly around if you go away? Please don't leave us?" unknowingly, tears glistened on the kids eyes, but since he's invisible permanently, they can't see it.

Andrew can feel that the kid was about to cry along with the little girl named Sarah and the others so he immediately smiled – genuinely – as he ruffled and messed their hairs and crouched down their level and spoke with rare gentleness

"Don't worry, even when I'm gone, you have Ms. Jean here, she just always looks serious but if you ask her, she will also play with you and she can also do the things i can do, so cheer up."

Even though merging with "Andrew Detmer" has almost wiped away his morals and value for normal lifeforms, it didn't managed to remove his innate fondness for pure creatures such as children, children are one of the purest and most innocent life you can find in all creation, so even though he's mostly always acting when interacting with the people here, his genuine feelings are always brought outside the moment he plays with this kids. Their laugh, their smiles, their cries when they accidentally tripped, all of that brings out his hidden emotion.

Charles Xavier sighed as a complicated look appeared in his eyes as he looks at the scene infront of him, but he steeled his useless balls as he spoke with a solemn look "I don't really want to do this.. But.. You all need to know the truth.."

At that sentence, amazingly vast psionic energy surged out of him and spreads to the whole crowd of students and teachers alike.
