Capítulo 47: FIGHT!!!

"Get to the other side. We're fighting" Logan said, taking off his shirt. "Show me how much you care about what you're doing"

Technically, fighting to show feelings makes no sense. But I guess that's what he's like. I nodded and took off my jacket and stood away. Logan took out his claws from the start. Guess he knows I'm strong enough to handle it, but others were surprised seeing this. They knew that I knew the school is caring for metahumans since I donate money occasionally, but they didn't think Logan would be this aggressive right from the start.

I went in front of him and took my muay-thai stance, and a blue aura surrounded me, which surprised everyone behind the mirror. Logan raised an eye and shrugged saying, "Just a trick I picked up in China." I said China because I cannot say Nepal, given the sanctum's location. Plus my aura is an upgraded version of chi anyways.

Logan didn't mind and rushed forward, swinging his claws, only to be easily redirected, much to his surprise. His fighting experience is something I should not be able to cope up with... normally. But my physical capabilities had long crossed the limits of normal humans and I know every technique, non-lethal from Bats, and lethal from Robin. Plus I don't care for any weight behind his adamantium bones. Laura may not have shown it to others, but she's way stronger and fun to fight with.

Logan tried and tried, but never landed a hit, while my strikes sent a shockwave through his body, disorienting him. The other X-Men and my classmates were shocked as Logan was the best fighter they knew of. I knocked him off his feet and sent a palm strike before he could stabilize, sending him out of the ring and I stood back in my stance, my aura slowly disappearing.

Logan stood up, healed, and shook my hand "Nice fight. It's been a really long time since someone kicked my ass in close combat. But if you ever hurt them, I WILL hunt you down." He said and glared in the end.

"That won't ever happen," I said, as I felt the three with the soulbond and they smiled at me. He nodded hearing me. When I wore my glasses and jacket again when I felt a mental probe, and a strong one, not a surface read. Smiling, I showed Charles something he would definitely not forget anytime soon.

"AAAH" Came a scream, which attracted Logan and the girl's attention, though Jean and Wanda frowned at their professor. I don't blame him for seeing me as a threat, as I usually do it too. Except I first take precaution to check if the other can detect me every time.

"I wouldn't do that again professor. My mind is not a nice place for intruders." I said looking back at the one-view mirror. Ororo and Hank stabilized Charles, who looked like he had seen a ghost. I had enhanced the Cthulhu in my head by my understanding of fear, so any telepath would shit their pants. Though I kept it at a minimum for him, don't want any permanent damage.

My words were enough to make other's realize what happened, but Scott rushed and opened the door yelling "What did you do?"

I could only raise an eyebrow at this. I thought he was not going to be the 'Professor First' guy after he learned what he did 3 years ago, but guess I was wrong. "Ask him. He's the one who did it, so he should be the best to answer." I said and shrugged.

Charles managed to gain his bearings and said "I'm sorry Alex, it's-"

"I know professor, you needed to know whether I was a threat or not. You just chose the wrong mind to peek into." Alex cut him off and said. Charles couldn't speak anymore, while others stayed silent until Ororo said "This is not a place to talk, let's go upstairs." The others nodded and we went out.

*Later*

"So... what was the blue thing? Internal energy? Like the wuxia novels?" Kitty asked, back to her curious self when we sat at the lunch table.

"Hm, something like that." I nodded but didn't say more, but she made the tense air disappear.

"What do you mean something like that? Why are you always so vague about everything?" Kitty yelled, shaking her hand while pointing at me. I couldn't help but chuckle seeing her actions.

"I took an oath of secrecy. I am not allowed to say anything else." I told her, which was technically true.

"Not even a little bit? Please!" She asked pouting.

"Hmmm." I hummed, pretending to think about it. "Nope," I said with a grin, shattering the hope she gathered.

"YOUUU, I hate YOU" She yelled, scrambling her hair in frustration.

"Still, I'm surprised you could be this strong without a metagene," Ororo said surprised.

"There are many things about our planet you don't know about. Tales of Merlin and his feats, to the sinking of Atlantis or the tales of vampires and demons to the gods of Asgard. To each myth, there is a reason for its existence. And if you ask someone who knows about the tales I mentioned, metahumans will look like the tip of an iceberg we can't even measure the depth of." I answered in a cryptic manner, leaving them in confusion and wonder.

"Well, if you ever need help regarding your powers Alex, our doors are always open," Charles told me, his usual sales pitch.

I chuckled and replied "I'm considered a master in chi professor. The only thing left for me is to grow." Charles nodded and said nothing. I was about to leave when I sensed someone... intruding. Thinking about them and the X-Men I made a decision.

"Well, I came to talk about something..." I said, making them look at me.

"What is it?" Charles asked concerned.

"Well you see, my powers work on three aspects: mind, body, and soul. I am pretty much a natural at controlling my mind and body. But the soul is something no one can predict and understand to this day, neither what it will do." I said to him.

"I... see?" He said, confused at what I was saying, same for everyone else, including Jean, Wanda, and Laura.

"Well, that unpredictability of soul... affected us," I said, looking at the three, who realized what I was doing.

"What do you mean?" Charles asked concerned, same with Hank, Ororo, and Logan.

"Well.." I said and an ethereal ring manifested on my right hand's ring finger, and the same appeared on the ring finger on the left hand of the girls. They looked at the ring in shock and realized it had some sort of effect on us, like a marriage. Well, I don't blame them for making the connection from seeing the rings.

"We four are connected by soul with each other... for eternity," I said, making them stare blankly, not being able to process anything.

*3rd pov*

"So, I wanted to ask if... they can move to my house," Alex told him, surprising the three girls the most, as they didn't expect him to say this. Charles tried to make sense of the matter but couldn't think straight. He looked at Logan, who looked at the three girls for confirmation, and they nodded, barely resisting the urge to hug Alex then and there.

"... I hope you keep them safe," Charles said after sighing. He wanted to refuse considering they are 16, but he didn't know if there would be any repercussions on their souls or anything. Plus, knowing that the one in front of him was Alexander Knight, he didn't want to take chances, even though he knew Alex well for two years. Logan was just glad Laura found someone who really cared for her.

"Thank you. If not a problem, they can move out tomorrow" Alex said, thanking him, while Charles nodded. After a few words, Alex departed from the mansion and headed back. After some time, he stopped in the middle of a road, surrounded by abandoned factories, and got out of his car.

"Come out. I can sense you from a mile away." Alex said with a bored look, as a man flew down from the clouds and floated in front of him. Alex had sensed him enter Westchester after Raven, who was spying from outside the X-mansion contacted him about what she heard and the soul bond.

"Erik Lensherr, or Magneto, whichever you prefer," Alex said, eyeing the man in a crimson suit and cape, donning his iconic helmet.

"AAAAAH" A scream came from the factory beside them.

"Oh, guess Mrs. Darkholme wasn't able to tell you what happened in the training room. Poor Miss Frost." Alex said and shook his head showing a sad expression. But those words made all the difference to Eric. As his perception of Alex went from a rich kid spouting nonsense and exploitable to a threat.

"So you're a mutant too? You should come with us and not side with a pacifist like Charles. We should be the ones in power, as gods above the humans." Eric said to him, his voice showing his devotion to his cause. But it only made Alex realize he and Charles were really friends, giving their sales pitch to every possible customer.

"First of all, the term is metahuman, stop living in the past old man. Second, I'm NOT a metahuman. And third, give your Nazi sales pitch to Hydra or something." Alex said, cleaning his ear with a finger.

"I'm not a NAZI" Eric yelled, as all the building material started floating. "And I don't need to change the name of our race to compare with the humans. We are gods who deserve to rule them!" Eric yelled at him.

"Then create a universe," Alex said, stopping Eric from saying anything.

"What?" Eric asked confused.

"To me, a god is someone who at least has the capability to create something, not just destroy them. Can you make a universe?" He asked, while Eric just looked at him weirdly. Alex noticed Sabretooth and Mystique in the bushes on either side and Pyro behind him but did nothing.

"Nevermind, let me tell you something. You know, those who are called gods can make a lot of people lay at their feet. Yet, if the god bleeds, they stop believing in him. So tell me Eric-" Alex gave Eric a speech which the four around him heard when Alex asked with a smile, but Magneto felt that something was wrong.

"-Do you bleed?" Just as those words left Alex's mouth, drones appeared over the four. Sabretooth, Mystique, and Pyro couldn't even move a muscle, while Magneto dropped down, losing his capability to flight. He landed on the concrete, breaking his hand and nose, which started bleeding. Eric tried moving his suit, which was made of metal, but he couldn't feel his powers. The same was the case for the other three as Sabretooth couldn't extend his claws, Mystique couldn't shapeshift and Pyro couldn't control the flames of his lighter.

Inside the factory, Azazel, Emma, and Tempest were in the same situation. Alex walked towards Magneto, who looked at him with hatred and fear. Alex held him by his neck and lifted him to his eye level. "Listen well, you rusty magnet. As much as I sympathize with what you went through, it doesn't give you permission to be a trashy father and a trashy living being in general. Every person has a dark side. You have two bloodthirsty killers here right now(Sabretooth and Azazel), but you keep giving your Nazi sales pitch turning a blind eye to it.

So here's the deal. You don't mess with me, I don't mess with you. You mess and create problems for others, it's the superheroes or the pentagon's problem. But if you ever decide to mess with me or anyone close to me, I promise to make you pray even to the devil to save you and he won't give you a hand, even if you sell your soul." Alex said, with cold eyes, while Eric was getting choked, and fainted from lack of air after hearing him. Alex threw him away, as the others were shot by a paralyzing bullet and dropped by the drones.

"Good to see you again Miss Darkholme, hope the schools going well. I hope we meet again on better terms." Alex said as he got into the car. "Oh, and your powers will come back after quite a while, so I hope you don't get caught. It would be a problem if someone called the police now, wouldn't it?" Alex said smiling while displaying his phone and driving off.

After a while, the paralysis drug ended on Mystique, Sabretooth, and Azazel, who still couldn't access their powers. "What the hell? Weren't we supposed to ambush some rich kid?" Azazel asked carrying Emma and Tempest.

"Talk later, we should get away before the army comes." Mystique said, lifting Pyro and Victor picked Eric and the left quickly, hiding from others while being powerless.
