8 CHAPTER - VII ( not edited )

This chapter will deal with different points of view.

P.O.V. Hope.

I get out of bed as I find myself in the X-Mansion or Charles Xavier's school for the gifted I got up I saw the alarm clock I stretched and I saw my headband today was Saturday that's why I was home.

Hope: These two weeks have been incredible since I met Richard everything has become fantastic. I thought about it dreamily.

I got out of bed, slept in my underwear, went to my bathroom and got dressed and headed happily to the dining room.

???: He said that you have been very happy these two weeks. It was said by a male voice coming from behind me.

I turned around and saw that it was Dr. Henry "Hank" Philip McCoy. I smiled at him and approached him in a relaxed way.

Hope: how is Dr. Hank. I said it cheerfully.

Hank: well hope, from what I see your friend is someone very smart because creating an alloy from scratch and with the capabilities is incredible. He said it even remembering when Ororo handed him the metal adsorption marble or gundaniun.

Hank: when you bring the boy..tell him that jean and scott wants to meet him. He said it somewhat excited.

Hope: I don't even know him..I just met him recently. I said it nervous since Scott wants to meet him to get the information for the manufacture of the metal and maybe threaten him.

Hank: I'd like to meet him, seeing such a brilliant mind is rare these days. He said it happily.

Hope: You two would get along very well. I said it remembering the things that he created in class since no teacher could make me fail his classes.

Hank: Not only are you happy to meet him, but I've never seen Ororo that much happier. He said it remembering that mostly she is not so cold with others anymore.

Hope: Yeah mostly the teachers kicked him out of the room for making noise and he always goes to the nurse's office. I said it thoughtfully.

Hank: It's good that Ororo is related to him. He said it remembering that Ororo is now more open with others.

Hank: take care I hope I have to do some things and try to relate more with Scott it was he who gave the suggestion that you could study abroad. He said so gently as he followed his own course.

Hope: He sees me as a means to get Jean back. I thought about it as I was angry..

I went back on my way seeing all my fellow mutants that we all went to the community dining room, when I arrived I sat at the corner table.

Most avoided me as some had encounters with "lower" humans that weren't very pleasant and seeing me having a friendly relationship with one of those "savages" hasn't made me very popular with ours.

I just settled on the bench, put my food on the table and sighed heavily.

???: what's up hope...did you had a fight with richard sugah. A voice said what a happy zone while she sat next to me.

Hope: hello, well I just want to know how Richard's creation has worked for you. I asked her calmly.

??? : It's wonderful and I'll be thanking him when I get to meet him or at least let me see his face. She said it excitedly.

Rogue : I pray that he always stay happy. She said it in her always bubbly tone.

Hope: I will also thank him... it's because of him I can touch people again. I thought about it while smiling.

I hear the sound of something falling, I turn to my left and there is Laura with her usual charismatic look.

Laura: why you see me grrrr. She said it's the usual threatening tone of hers I just quickly turned to my food something rang in my pocket and I see it's the phone Richard gave me.

I take out the phone, place it in front of it, a holographic screen appears and I press answer.

***Video call***

Richard: testing, testing hope it's you...are you listening to me. He said it while he glued his eye to the camera.

Hope: Richard is this you. I asked impressed as I prayed it stuck to me and Laura stopped eating and looked at the screen.

I begged: are you really Richard.I asked as Richard settled in nicely.

Richard: Yes I am, that's my pleasure. He said it in a cheerful tone.

Richard: hey , hope you mentioned to me that the person who couldn't touch other people but thanks to my creation her power can be absorbed and can easily touch people without getting out of control. He said it in a professional tone.

Hope: well yes .. but you better not talk to her. I said it while she pointed to rogue.

Rogue : your invention is fantastic now I can touch the others without having the possibility of killing them. She said it happily.

Richard: That's great…..but he couldn't finish it because then it cut out for a moment.

Hope!!!: Richard, Richard I was shauting his name as I was really worried that something happened..

Richard: SIF please keep Winston away from the chemicals please I don't want another explosion please. He said as he got up and you could see his shirt was burnt and he had some first degree burns.

I begged: what the hell happened to you?? I said as I was really worried...

Richard: Don't worry about one thing or another that happens in my lab. He said it casually

Hope: Winston mixed the chemicals again. I said it remembering that devilish animal.

Richard: You know how Winston is, he loves copying me, it's a complete surprise. He said it playfully.

Rogué: who is... who is Winston. She ask surprised.

Hope: it's his pet a possum, I'm telling you, it's a kind of metaspecies, it's not normal for him to learn quickly and that animal idolizes you. I said it a little angry.

Richard: Not only does Winston love me and I studied him a bit, you're right with him, he has the ability to learn from mistakes quickly. He said it in an informative tone.

Laura: Wait, you have a pet rat. She said it in a serious tone, but with a hint of strangeness.

Richard: Correction Winston is a marsupial like kangaroos. He said it with a smile as I watched as Winston perched on his shoulder.

Richard: Hi Winston. He said it happily I saw that the possum made a peace sign with his right paw I saw that he had a horn stuck to his neck.

Winston: Nice to greet a species intellectually inferior to my master. He said it coming out of the speaker's voice.

Richard: Winston you know they're not dumb. He said it with a nervous smile.

Winston: It means that can they create an anti gravitational beam or does their genetics constantly evolve. He said so moving his eyebrows.

Hope!: wait as...are you evolving. I asked surprised.

Richard: From what I've seen my body is in a stage of metamorphosis, which has caused my muscle mass to shrink and harden every time I exercise and my regeneration to improve. He said it nervously.

Ororo: That's why you've been behaving strangely. She said it behind me I just turned around I already knew who she was.

Richard: yes sorry for not telling you ororo but I also have my gen x very underdeveloped you know what it means. He said with his enthusiasm.

Ororo: That means you have a chance to become a mutant and I thought you were an Inhuman. She said it mockingly.

Richard: It would be great, I would live on the moon, but I wouldn't have met you'll. He said it a bit dejected.

Ororo: Tell me how project is going, what is the name of its war? She said it seriously.

Richard: I already managed to finish the two of them and SIF and his girlfriend Victoria controls him. He said it mockingly.

Ororo: That's great, but it would be faster if you wanted to come. She said it in a cheerful tone.

Richard: They know !. He said it strangely.

Ororo - Only Professor Xavier, Logan and Scott. She said it calmly.

Richard: I'll think about it, but the first thing is to get money. He said it calmly.

Ororo: Oh!!! tell me you're not going to casino like the other time you know they banned you. She said it in a funny way.

Richard: That is why I pray that you would give me the honor of accompanying me on this occasion. He said it himself as he knelt in front of the screen.

Ororo: Of course it will be fun.. to empty the casinos. She said it amused.

Richard: Well I have to cut the call now ..as Winston and I haven't finished that yet so don't activate it. He was saying it as he walked away from the phone.

End of the video call.

Hope: What is that project that you talked about. I asked impatiently.

Ororo: sorry hope this is classified. She said it seriously.

End P.O.V. hope

P.O.V. ORORO

When I finished the conversation with hope I got ready to get away from her and go to my room to relax for a while.

Ororo: The project is necessary for the survival of humanity. I thought it would be.

Ororo: I still remember when I told Xavier that Richard found out about Hope's powers. I thought about it remembering that moment.

**FLASHBACK NO JUTSU**

Xavier: how is everything going with hope in the normal school. He said it calmly.

Ororo: I manage to make a friend, but how do I explain this to you. I said it in a harried tone.

Xavier: tell me what's up. He said it still calm.

Ororo: Her new friend discovered that she was a mutant. I said it calmly I heard someone walking in I turned around I see Logan with a beer and Scott with a scowling look.

Xavier didn't care about them and I wonder: how did the boy take it?

Ororo: He actually helped her so that she could control her powers. I said it remembering when her strange pet arrived.

Ororo: hehehehe. I laughed a little at their unusual way of behaving they stared at me strangely.

Xavier: That's funny Miss Ororo. He said so raising an eyebrow.

Ororo: he is not normal he does not behave like other people you have given me a taste of something special. I said it showing the fractured marble that was still black.

Xavier: what is that? Stretching out my hand, I handed it to him.

Ororo: It is an alloy that he believes is close to the hardness of vibranium and has the ability to absorb energy. I said it remembering what he explained to me.

Xavier: why would he give something so incredible. He said it strangely.

Ororo: because he knows we can't reproduce the alloy and because it's a token of peace plus hope has a headband made from that alloy. I said it calmly.

Xavier: what would you tell me about that boy. I wonder.

Ororo: He is very funny and mostly dedicated to creating strange things. I said everything that is given is boy.

Xavier: you don't know more about that boy. I wonder.

Ororo: Yes, his name is Richard Parker. I said so I watched as Xavier changed his calm look to one of surprise.

Xavier: keep me posted on that boy. He said it trying to recover from the surprise.

Ororo: understood professor. I said walking away until Scott yanked my arm roughly.

Soctt: Keep that hope brat away so I don't have to take care of him myself. He said it in a threatening way, I just looked at him, forced him to let go of me and walked away from the place.

End of flashback.

I just lay on the bed looking at the bracelets and giggling like a schoolgirl.

Ororo: I only asked for these bracelets because they can store the lightning from the storms that I create, but I also add that with the accumulated anergy it will form a shield that lasts until the energy runs out. I thought about it excitedly while I caressed the bracelets.

Ororo: I don't know how it happened, but just spending time with him makes me excited. I thought about it while he relaxed me.

There was a knock on the door, I stood up a little annoyed, I opened the door and saw Scott with a furious look, he entered the force.

Ororo: what do you want Scott. I said it angrily he just wandered around the room until his gaze stopped on the bracelets.

Scott: The brat bought you with this nonsense. He said it as he grabbed the bracelets Richard made for me.

Ororo: Scott leave the bracelets at their place or else I'll put a lightning bolt in your head to get your damn brain working again. I said it angry because Richard spent a lot of time on that bracelets, Scott saw me furious heard thunder outside as he left the bracelets at their place.

Scott: Because you're so attached to those things they are just worthless pieces of metal. He said it angry at my behavior.

Ororo: I don't know why you came Scott. I said it annoyed.

Scott: I asked you to keep that brat away from Hope. He said it angry.

Ororo: Why do you want Richard to stay away from Hope if she is happy with him around? I said it a bit relaxed.

Scott: hope is the key that i can get back with jean and i don't want a normal brat to get jean's attention she's been asking hope about how she is. She said it upset.

Ororo: Don't bring Hope or Richard into this, you ruined the relationship you had when you slept with Emma Frost. I said it furious.

Scott: I regret doing that. He said it with mock sadness.

Ororo: Of course, after Emma found out that you were sleeping with both of them and tried to rip your head off and Professor Xavier begged for your life, that's how he lost the fragile alliance he had with her. I said it casually.

Ororo: better find a way to get jean back without getting anyone into your trouble and please get out of my room. I said it trying to maintain what little self-control I had left.

Scott: He is just a normal human that when he enters this world he will die a painful death. He said it as he left my room.

Ororo: he is more prepared than you at his age you know at least he is not an insensitive asshole. I yelled furiously at nothing.

I lay down on the bed and relaxed for a while then fell asleep.

End P.O.V. Ororo.

P.O.V Barbara Gordon.

I'm about to inform batman about what Richard has done during the week.

Barbara: I don't expect him to get that paranoid. I thought about it with annoyance after he first reported as requested by Grayson, Bruce told me to keep him posted when my phone rang and I answered.

Call.

Barbara: hi.

Bruce: what did the boy do.

Barbara: He's gotten closer to that mutant and he's getting preferential treatment for them.

Bruce: Something else.

Barbara: I was taken away from him and threatened that if something happens to him because of me I will not live to see tomorrow.

Bruce : No matter what you do.. he is a potential danger.

Barbara: Got it Bruce.

Bruce: don't let them discover your identity.

End of call.

I just lay back and sighed from the frustration I felt at that moment.

Barbara: I still remember what that nurse told me. I thought about it in frustration.

**FLASHBACK NO JUTSU**

I was pushed against the wall by the nurse who gave me a hostile look.

Ororo: Stay away from Richard. She said it in a cold tone.

Barbara: Why would I stay away from my friend for a person like you. I said it mockingly as she easily grabbed me by the neck.

Ororo: I know you're watching him, not because or for whom. I'll just tell you that if he gets hurt by you, it doesn't matter where you hide. She said it in a threatening tone as I flinched a bit.

Barbara: why would you defend the person you just met recently . I said it in a mocking way to keep what little courage I have left.

Ororo: I may like bratty. She said it in a serious tone I couldn't believe what she said.

Barbara: He is younger than you, he is 16 years old and you must be 21 or 23. I said it as I was very surprised.

Ororo: brat when you are a mutant you can choose the partner you want no matter the age. She said it mocking me and I just looked at her surprised.

Barbara: Because you would want someone like Richard. I asked surprised.

Barbara: Richard is a nice guy, but he is very naive. I thought bewildered.

Ororo: he is someone attentive for his age and does not behave like an imbecile, he can be a little naive and somewhat silly, but he makes up for it with the way he is always happy to others. She said it happily.

Barbara : will you be proposing to Richard as soon as you meet him. I said it curious.

Ororo: It's something you shouldn't care about... so stay away from him. She said it in a threatening way as she watched as clouds formed.

I just got nervous when I saw that she wasn't kidding.

End of flashback.

I relaxed as I turn on the TV only to see Richard hooded with a strange glove that shines with a blue light on top of a humanoid monster and on Richard's body is full of wounds.
