10 10. Promise.

About 10 minutes later the ambulance showed up I surely didnt just leave the poor guy laying on the hot ground.

"No sir I didnt want to move him in case he had hurt his neck it was a pretty bad fall. I'm guessing he tripped over his shoelaces." I point to his untied sneakers I surely didnt do.

"Well thank you for calling us, it seems he has a concussion and broken nose along with the loss of his two front teeth. We will let him know it was you who called." The officer says.

"Oh no need I was just doing what any respectable citizen would." I watch at the load duncan into the ambulance with a serious look of worry on my face.(not)

I'm quickly dismissed as the girls also confirm my statement before we head off to the car wash.

Rogue and Jean burst out laughing after we hit the road with Kitty only frowning for a second before also laughing.

"You know the professor is going to be mad at you for fighting in schook right?" Kitty says after a few moment.

"Nope, cause he wont know. I can give you the ability to block your mind from mental intrusion if you promise not to tell anyone i can do it." I offer as jean and kitty look at me in shock.

"You can give away powers?" Jean asks.

"Yep, only powers I have, however I would rather not have anyone else knowing about this. What do you say?" I ask the girls.

"I promise." Jean and Rogue speak up first.

"Okay I promise." Kitty says with a smile.

I hold out my hand and she touches it before I pass along the mental shielding.

"Yeah I cant read her mind anymore." Jean says.

"They should be able to lower it in case its needed however I wouldnt advise it. Nobody need to be in anyone's mind." I explain. "Besides this keeps old nosey men out of your minds, after all who know what kind of things the professor could see with a simple glance."

I say as they all suddenly blanched

I pull into the car wash and buy the best automated scrub they got before just leaning back and relaxing. Rogue gives the other a run down of lunch time with some embellishments of course.

Apparently Jean had heard about it from others minds in school and found it funny.

"Mind if we stop off at a bookstore before heading back?" I ask the girls.

"No problem."

"Sure."

"Fine by me."

I listen to the peaceful sounds of the carwash before it ends. Honestly man automated car washes are so underrated and relaxing. Kind of like just sitting in your car in the rain and relaxing.

5 minutes later and another run through for fun and we are off to the bookstore.

I pick up books on cars, electronics, computers, and a variety of other things I think would be helpful.

"Are you planning on buying the entire bookstore?" Kitty asks curiously.

I had like 50 textbooks just stuffed into the trunk.

I needed to learn how to make thing so I could just start creating stuff from scratch. I was by no means a genius, I had average intelligence as far as I knew. So the best way to fix that was to study. I wasnt sleeping at night anyway so might as well use my speed learning to do something during that time.

"No, it's just I kind of need a hobby, I apparently cant sleep at all at night so I figured I needed something to do." I offer.

"You dont sleep?" Rogue asks curiously.

"No, and I'm not tired at all. I usually just sit on my phone and scroll around on the internet." I admit.

"That's gotta suck!" Kitty admits.

I laugh before shaking my head "Tell me about it. I think I might get rid of the bed and replace it with some couches or something more comfortable to sit on. Maybe buy that RV as a night time project." I think out loud.

I really want a nice RV, i want to see what i can make but i really need some way to start making money. All my money just comes out of nowhere. I could just make an RV however how the hell would I explain that?

Oh i can just make shit like gold and diamond and even legit cash. Pfft yeah right.

Maybe I should look into a swiss bank account? They dont ask questions do they? How the fuck do you open a swiss bank account? Do I have to go to Switzerland something? Probably.

"RV?" Kitty asks in confusion.

"He wanted to buy a truck with a mobile home on the back to make into his own secret base." Jean explains while I was lost in thought.

"Hey, it's ever mans romance to have a cool secret base." I offer.

She just snorts. "Not very secret if you drive your secret base everywhere." She points out.

"True I suppose." I sigh unhappily.

I wish I could get my hands on magneto, could build a base underground or in space with his magnetism powers. Shame Kurt's teleporting ability isn't real teleporting, it's more like hopping into a different dimension then hopping out somewhere else and he need's to see where hes going.

Maybe visit the ancient one in New York? Get myself a sling ring or something.

Oh well problems for later.

"Well I'll figure something out." I smile before starting up the car.

We drive back to the mansion and Jean helps float my books to my room. Kind of awkward balancing 50 or so books on hand.

Sadly we are interrupted by Scott.

"Hey what happend at school today? I saw the ambulance as we were getting ready to leave." He asks leaning against the doorframe.

"Duncan fell and broke his nose, apparently he got a concussion as well." Jean says stepping past him and we continue on our way.

"I also heard you were fighting with the brotherhood at lunch Ryan." Scott says accusingly.

"No he wasn't, those idiots showed up and tried to steal his lunch then we left." Rogue comes to my defense. Technically I only tied up Toads tongue in knots.

Scott frowns.

I stop. "Do we have beef or something man?" I ask calmly. "Seems you don't like me very much."

"He's jealous you are spending so much time with me, and afraid hes going to lose his leader position. Also he is jealous Rogue seems to like you." Jean says lazily.

"What?!?! No I'm not!!!" He shouts turning red before Jean just taps her head.

"Not interested Scott. Try Catherine she seems to have the hots for you." Jean says pulling us all into my room with her mind before slamming the door in Scotts face.

Oof that's gotta hurt.
