Prologue

X Mansion

Cerebro: Mutant Gene detected.

Professor X stared at the screen showing a picture of a 15-year-old Caucasian boy, with blond hair and sea-green eyes. The machine pulled up all the info it had on him.

Professor: intriguing.

Two figures walked into the room. Wolverine and Storm, both in their respective X-Men suits.

Wolverine: you called us Professor?

Professor X: Yes, I did, thank you both for coming.

Wolverine: just make it quick-

Storm: what Logan is trying to say, is that we'll help.

Professor X: This is a new mutant, looks to be about 14 years of age.

Storm: has Cerebro not picked up an identity?

Professor X: no, it hasn't, which is most peculiar. It's as if his identity has been scrubbed from the face of the earth. The only thing Cerebro can pick up is he can control fresh and saltwater. I would like you and Storm to go to Montauk and see if you two can recruit him and bring him here.

Wolverine: we'll try.

Montauk NY

The jet landed on a beach in Montauk in stealth mode. It was night so most of the humans would be inside sleeping. Storm and Wolverine exited and looked around.

Wolverine: this is the kid's last known location.

Storm: it's as if he just vanished.

Suddenly, the ocean waves began to grow. Logan sniffed the air.

Wolverine: he's here somewhere.

Suddenly a massive wave drenched Wolverine pushing him up the beach. Storm turned towards the shoreline and saw the boy slowly lifted his head about the water.

Boy: what do you want?

Storm: calm down, I'm a friend.

Boy: yeah right, get lost.

Storm: you felt like you were dreaming like you'd wake up and they'd be gone, right? And when you realized that they would not, you just accepted it and tried to hide it.

The boy slowly turned around.

Boy: how do you know that?

Storm raised her hand and the wind picked up, blowing on the boy's blond hair.

Storm: because I'm like you. We can help you learn to control your gifts, and give you a home, a family.

The boy watched as she stuck out her hand. He stared at it, pondering for a moment before taking it excitedly.

X Mansion

Storm and Logan led the kid through the hallways of the mansion who was staring in amazement at the scenery behind the two mutants. Storm laughed at the kid while Logan let out an amused smirk.

The two showed him into a room.

Boy: this is my room?

Storm: yes. Welcome to the Xavier Institute.

Logan: but you never told us your name.

Boy: oh right, Malaka.

Logan raised an eyebrow.

Boy: Greek slang. Means stupid. Anyway, my name's Patrick Upton.

Storm: do you have any family we can call?

Patrick's face saddened.

Patrick: (he sat on the bed) When my powers manifested, I used them to save a drowning girl. I thought no one noticed, but my parents did. They disowned me and essentially scrubbed my identity off the face of the earth. Just because I was different.

By now, tears were forming in Patrick's eyes and Storm hugged him and let him silently cry on her shoulder. Logan was trembling with anger in the back.

30 Minutes Later

After settling Patrick in the Mansion, Storm and Logan go in the lounge downstairs.

Logan: remind me to skewer the kid's parents if we see them.

Storm: for once, I might help you
