Another good thing was they were rather quiet, considering the speeds they moved at. Ranma had poked at him with questions before boarding and starting the trip back to Bayville. Currently he was in the Co-Pilot’s seat having a nap. Xavier just smiled and kept course back to the School. If he was right they should make it home before dinner, and Ranma would have a chance to converse with some of the students.
Meanwhile...
“All right, is everyone here?” Wolverine asked, looking around the main room. After a few murmurs and looking around he noticed everyone was indeed here (As well as three additional Jamies) as he motioned to Henry McCoy, AKA The Beast, to talk to the students. It was still early in the morning so he had to pull some folks out of bed.
“Thank you Logan. The reason you’re all assembled here at the moment is that Professor Xavier is returning from Japan with a new addition to the School.” He paused for a moment to gauge reaction before continuing. “We know the student is a Ranma Saotome. From what we know he does know English, and will be arriving within the afternoon or early evening.” Seeing a few hands raised he raised his own. “And no, we don’t know what his powers are, though I believe that the Professor may know.” That had a few hands drop, although Evan still had his hand up. “Yes Evan?”
“Do we know where he’s gonna stay in the mansion yet?”
“No, however I expect that he will room with someone. Anything else?” In response Kurt, AKA the Nightcrawler raised his own hand. “Yes Kurt.”
“Uh, yah... vhen’s breakfast?”
“KURT!!” A number of students exliamed, the remainder just sighing. Just another day at the mansion...
Meanwhile...
Mystique answered her phone on the first ring, holding it to her ear.
"What is it?" No need to ask who, she already knew.
"Mystique, we may have a difficulty." Magneto. She never liked him. They were... allies, but not friendly ones.
“What problem do we have now?”
“Xavier has a new recruit. One that we may not easily be dealt with.”
“What’s his powers?”
“He can nullify mutant powers within an area around himself. I estimate the area to be around seven feet. However I cannot tell if it is a power he can activate or one that will remain on whether he wishes it or not.”
“So? If it’s a short range we can deal with it. And if that’s all he can do, I’ll have no problems... taking care of him if need be.” She was, after all, a trained assassin. She knew at least thirty seven ways to break a neck.
Seven of which she created herself.
“Don’t underestimate him Mystique. He has over ten years of training and experience equal to twice that in the art of combat. You are a formidable opponent, but he is by far your superior in that regard.” Now she started to worry. Nullification abilities combined with combat abilities? Not good.
“How good is he?”
“Most of my information is second hand, but I do believe he can defeat Sabertooth, if my information is correct. However I will... test him later... at my convenience.” In other words after you get a new pawn, Mystique though. “Still, keep your distance from him, if he were to null your powers while you were in disguise...” He let it hang. She already knew what that would mean.
“Do you have a plan to take care of him?”
“Yes actually. If I cannot convince him to join us, I have a tool to destroy him. A new mutant, and a foe of Xavier’s new pupil, named...”
