Chapitre 363: 363 School of Mutants, Wolverine Learns Manners, Rogue and Jean Grey Wait for Allen and The Start of a Mutant War?
Allen arrived at a large black gate with a prominent X, clearly marking the entrance to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Gwen – Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters... they actually did this?
Felicia – I'm surprised no one stopped the founding of this school...
MJ – From what I heard on the news, this was made possible through Charles Xavier's contacts.
Felicia – Hmm... It seems many adopted the idea that mutants would study at an independent school away from regular people yawn~
Kara – I still don't understand why mutants are so rejected in your world.
Raven – In ours, metahumans have some degree of isolation, but not to this extent.
Annie – This world is different. We were idolized as the chosen ones, but in Allen's world, they are rejected as monsters.
Nikky – This... it's unfair...
Rogue – Maybe I can answer some of your questions because... I... actually, I'm a mutant...
Diana – Wait!
Gwen – Rogue!
Ruby – What are you doing?!
Starfire – Is this bad?
"It's okay, Rogue. Don't worry and speak with confidence... anyone saying something inappropriate will be permanently banned..."
Rogue – In this world, in our world, the awakening of mutants often happens unexpectedly. Many times, our powers are active without us knowing, and we discover them at the worst moments... and that's why several tragedies have occurred...
Natasha – A series of unfortunate events, even if rare. Some mutants have hurt people, and unlike Annie's world, there's no Vought to cover up the bodies.
"That's not all, there are people who choose to make accidents with superpowers look worse."
Cate – How cruel, why do they do that?!
"Because they hate mutants..." Allen narrowed his eyes, looking at the Chat; he knew that many of these people were watching him silently at this moment.
Kimiko – Vought played with others' lives, but it was a reality that supes could not exist without Compound V so it was much safer for ordinary people, and it could be said that people with superpowers were controlled.
Maeve – In Allen's world, you never know if your neighbor might explode along with the building... although I understand, it still seems cruel.
"..."
One thing Allen didn't mention is that among mutants, some use their powers to harm others and harbor a lot of hatred toward regular people, making coexistence difficult if both sides hate each other.
In that sense, a school like Charles's is necessary. It will teach young mutants to control their powers while demonstrating that power doesn't determine whether they're good or bad; they're humans like anyone else and can do both good and bad.
In theory, it's fine, but is it possible? The hatred is present on both sides.
Magneto, with his brotherhood, seeks mutant suprema,cy, and people like Senator Kally openly desire mutant eradication.
Allen can be included in the mutants as long as he does not make it clear that he is not one, but that leaves him positioned against the anti-mutant humans.
Of course, Allen's existence has done good things for mutants; after all, saving the world gives a lot of good publicity, and that it's all live makes it much easier for people to consider accepting mutants than in a world without Allen.
However, the reality of the world of The Boys brought back something important: power corrupts. If it does, the Supes of The Boys were the result of the maximum degeneration to which a person with superpowers and influence can fall.
While Allen acted in a good light, Homelander posed the question to the people. If a mutant with powers like that were born, would he be like Superman or Allen? Or maybe he would become like Homelander?
...
The conversation with him Chat was interrupted as the door to X-Mansion opened for Allen.
Charles and the mutants in this place must be aware of the live feed and that Allen is going to expose them to the world.
Of course, Charles weighed the pros and cons of such a thing. There is no turning back once Allen comes in. Many young mutants who are not yet known to exist will become public knowledge.
Of course, there is the option of censoring their faces. However, Charles doesn't want that. In his words - "These kids did nothing wrong, and their existence is not a mistake. There is no reason to hide their faces."
Allen doesn't know what to think. On the one hand, Charles' opinion is correct; making a stream censoring the faces of mutants is like saying it's wrong for them to exist. However, that would leave all the mutants exposed; many of them are children...
Allen did not enter Mansion X; instead, he pulled out his phone.
"Charles..."
"Allen... Have you decided to cancel this?"
"No, but I want to change one thing, ask the older mutants if they agree to this, if anyone doesn't want it they won't be in the stream, also I will alter their appearances in the stream so that they are unrecognizable in real life... depending on how the situation progresses if any of them want to live a discreet life they should be able to do so."
Allen was not negotiating, not arguing. It was his demands, period if Charles refused, he would immediately turn away.
Charles felt pressured; from one point of view, just thinking about the future of mutants, it is better not to hide anything and show them as they are, but that means if any mutant doesn't want their powers and just wants an ordinary life, maybe Allen can steal their power. Professor X felt fear; he knew that Allen was the greatest shield of the mutants, but he could also be the one who exterminated them.
Charles observed Allen's face in the stream; it was a look that would send shivers down the spine of kings and emperors. Allen had matured to the point that treating him like a child was a mistake. Allen had become accustomed to a world full of difficult decisions where people's lives were on a string and Allen could cut the thread.
The Emperor – *The corners of his mouth lift a little....
Gilgamesh – *Smiles appreciatively* He already has a heart capable of bearing the weight of the world....
Artoria – He always has, but now he doesn't doubt his decisions.
Thor – My father used to say that making difficult decisions requires a strong mind, a heart under control, and a strong will, but the really hard part comes later, and that is where most kings and rulers fail: responsibility.
Esdeath: That's very kind... perhaps that was one of the reasons I lost in my world...
General Esdeath was capable of burying a hundred thousand people alive without batting an eye because she thought she was the destiny of the weak, yet her actions brought fear and much resentment.
Objectively, Esdeath was not wrong in his actions; his results were excellent, but seeing people's lives as just numbers plus or numbers minus has consequences.
The people tried to repay her for all the deaths she caused. In the end, those actions took retribution in the form of a cursed katana, its bearer, and the lives of many assassins.
Neither Esdeath, nor the minister of his world, nor the emperor put the weak in his eyes, never took responsibility for his actions and perhaps that is one of the reasons for his end.
"What nonsense..." said Makima.
Different people think differently; a general, a King, or an Emperor would think differently than a demon who just looks at Allen with contempt, wondering why he wastes his time here when he needs to go to another world and collect more shards.
'It would be easier to just steal all the mutant powers and be done with it...'
Makima has a point... in this world, Allen doesn't know where he can get fragments from as he doesn't know "history." on the other hand the easiest solution is to do what he did in The Boys by stealing all the powers. Allen doesn't want to do it since it is true that there may be a Homelander, but there may also be a Superman among the mutants. Allen doesn't want to take away their chance to decide their future.
Allen doesn't feel it's a problem to give these kids a chance, but at worst he will take responsibility for his actions, even if he has to defeat them himself.
"Allen... give me five minutes."
Charles gathered the young mutants whose ages ranged from ten years old to eighteen. After hearing Charles' words, many had already made their decision. After all, they were watching Allen's stream.
...
[Makima as always is as adorable as a leopard 🍷🗿]
...
Allen entered the X Mansion and was greeted by Charles and three others.
One was a man covered with blue hair, large fang-like teeth, and sharp, animal-like eyes.
Charles introduced him simply, "This man is my friend Henry Philip McCoy, but he goes by Beast."
Allen extended his hand, "Pleasure to meet you..."
...
Tearju – A physical mutation...
Maeve - In our world the best known would be Jack The Jupiter, whose skin was orange.
Starfire – Is he like me?
Raven – Star you're from another planet you don't count
Starfire – Heee... but... *She gets depressed*.
Raven – Why?
Beast blinked in surprise at Allen's casual reaction. While Allen may be accustomed to seeing superpowers, Beast's physical mutation made his appearance less human.
Less human?... No. The guy only has fangs and claws; for Allen, some features make you less human, but looking like a blue werewolf is not one of them.
Beast shook his head and smiled, shaking his hand, "You can call me Hank. It's a pleasure to have you here, Allen."
Beast's smile could scare children, but he was a man of strong moral code, even more so than Charles Xavier.
Allen didn't hesitate much, his gaze lazy, like a morning stare, which seemed to be a common occurrence now.
"She is Ororo Munroe, aka Storm, our lovely teacher, twenty-five years old..."
The beautiful woman of color coughed, glaring at Charles in annoyance. She knew Charles was using her to gain Allen's sympathy, knowing his history as a womanizer. Did he have to be so obvious? Even the kids could see Charles Xavier trying to get Allen to join.
"A pleasure," Allen smiled, winking at Storm. "Truly a beautiful lady, I won't deny."
"Huh?" Ororo blushed but stayed composed. "Thank you... It's a pleasure as well."
Charles smiled, continuing, "And finally, our newest teacher, Logan... for now, just Logan."
Allen extended his hand, "Nice to meet you, Logan?"
Logan pulled a small bottle of alcohol from his jacket and drank without shaking Allen's hand.
"What are you doing, Logan?!" Charles scolded the rough-looking man, muscular, with a beard and a furrowed brow.
"Kid, you're strange. You smell like danger but also like the lady at the bar who takes care of orphans in her spare time..."
Logan was the kind of oddball who knew nothing about Allen, even at this point.
Allen chuckled, withdrawing his hand. "What a strange way to describe me, sir, with the smell of two centuries ago..."
"F*ck, I don't trust you..." Logan interrupted.
"Logan!" Ororo shouted angrily but Logan ignored her.
"That's a problem considering we will be colleagues, Professor Logan" Allen shrugged, taking a step forward, his eyes fixed on Logan for a moment. "Right?"
"...!!!"
Logan jumped back, his claws out, veins bulging. Despite his appearance, he didn't seem eager to fight; he was like a cornered animal wanting to bite his predator before being eaten.
"It's not killer instinct or bad intentions; the reason you feel this way, Logan, is... Power,... as simple as that," Allen returned to his lazy look. "My power is so vast it's terrifying... there's no need to deny reality. However, I'm not a threat to this world. I've been through that dilemma and I won."
Yes, Allen could have been corrupted if he had lost his battle against Void, but this did not happen. In the end, he emerged victorious, showing that his path deserved to continue. Although it was a surprise that Allen didn't destroy Void. He decided to absorb the Void flaw, and now Allen is like any other person, just a man.
"I'm neither Mother Teresa nor Satan," Allen lazily smiled. "You just need to stop antagonizing me, and naturally, you'll stop being afraid... probably."
Allen Walker was like watching a Tsunami approaching or a volcano about to erupt; one didn't fight against it, you just accepted it.
Logan felt frustration but looked away from Allen, surprised that the feeling of danger gradually diminished until it plateaued. He wouldn't trust someone like Allen, so he felt what an ordinary person might feel walking alongside a tiger, but in perspective, it was a manageable feeling. He picked up his bottle of alcohol and took another sip, returning to his renegade attitude.
Seeing Storm with her hand on her forehead, Beast shaking his head, and Charles sweating, it was obvious they didn't expect this behavior from Logan.
Allen shrugged and smiled at Charles, "Charles, there's no point in putting on an artificial image of who you're not. We're humans with both good and bad sides. Logan is fine as he is... however."
Logan's bottle disappeared from his hand and was now in Allen's hand.
"Drinking during school hours is wrong, no matter how you look at it..."
"Tsk..." Logan grunted but didn't complain.
Storm widened her eyes in disbelief; Logan would have cursed fifteen times or would have directly attacked if it were someone else.
Allen blinked slowly, looking around the mansion. "And where are they?"
Allen continued down the mansion hallway, Charles explaining each room, but Allen and the Chat were focused on the location of the lounge where Allen's students were.
"Professor Walker, due to the small number of students, we won't be able to divide them by age. You'll have students ranging from fifteen to eighteen years old."
"That's fine; I won't be teaching them mathematics anyway..."
Allen's job is more practical; he will focus on two main points: controlling mutant abilities, assessing their risks, and possibly assisting in their elimination. Secondly, he'll teach from his experience of living in a world like this.
...
Allen bid farewell to Charles, Logan, Ororo, and Hank. He wanted to meet the young people without anyone else.
Allen arrived at the lounge, feeling several presences; it wasn't a large class, but Charles assured him more would eventually come.
Butcher – "I don't know how to feel; it's a completely different situation. Here, Supes were the bad guys, but in your world, they seem like victims."
Hughie - "Not surprising. Many Supes were just Vought's manipulated tools and ended up degenerating because of the environment."
Annie - "Not having someone telling you you're the messiah all the time changes things."
...
(Five minutes earlier)
Inside the classroom, all the students were nervous, though they didn't show it.
Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin, known as Peter, and future Colossus, was a tall, sturdy boy with metallic skin, eating while trying to calm his nerves.
"At this rate, you'll eat the desk, Peter."
Warren Kenneth Worthington III, nicknamed Angel to annoy him, relaxed in his chair. A blond boy with white wings and a confident attitude, though Colossus noticed his legs trembling.
"Speak for yourself; today I'll meet my idol..."
"I don't understand why they idolize a guy like him; he's just a womanizer with enormous powers."
Scott Summers, a young man with brown hair and red glasses, is currently grumpy. It was hard to believe he would one day lead the X-Men as Cyclops. His power was a laser-like vision, but unlike Superman or Homelander, Cyclops's eye energy came from another dimension, using his eyes as a medium.
A boy smiled and patted Scott on the back. "Scott won't be in a group just because the girl he likes admires Walker. Learn from Bobby; he hasn't given up."
This young man, Alex Summers, shared similar traits with Scott and would eventually become Havok.
"Brother... you're too naive. No matter what that man says, he'll ultimately find excuses to steal our powers if we don't obey."
"I don't think he will. He's a good person..."
Kitty Pryde, a cute girl with brown hair, cheerful and curious, entered through the wall, smiling. However, seeing Bobby bothering Rogue in her seat, she approached.
"Come on, Rogue, you'll have a good time at the movies!"
"..." Rouge didn't even turn to look at him.
Kitty put her hand on Bobby's shoulders. "Bobby, can't you see that insisting on her only pushes her away?"
"What?"
Bobby, whose full name is Robert Drake, was very sociable and outgoing. He had been infatuated with the brown-haired girl with white since he met her. However, Rogue didn't pay him any attention, a normal person would have taken the hint, but unlike his ice powers, Bobby was someone with hot blood, and he did not give up despite being rejected more than once.
"Shut up, Kitty. If Rogue didn't want me here, she would've said so."
Bobby's argument was acceptable, but Rogue was listening to music, lazily reclining at her desk.
Kitty shrugged, "Ignorance is bliss..."
"Kitty... huh?!"
Bobby floated in the air, unable to finish his sentence. A beautiful redhead entered the room; Scott and Angel immediately turned.
She was Jean Grey; without mercy, she used her telekinesis to seat Bobby on the other side of the room while sighing.
Rogue took off her headphones and smiled, "Thanks..."
"You should put Bobby in his place. Or do you like having an admirer?"
"I tried, but he doesn't give up, so I just decided to ignore him..." Rogue lounged at her desk, looking at Jean with puppy eyes, "Besides, I don't have powerful telekinesis like my older sister~"
"Are you mocking me?"
"No, no~"
Both girls' attitudes changed completely, from a cold queen and indifferent muse to simple girls.
Scott clenched his fists; Angel clicked his tongue, and Bobby became dejected.
It wasn't a secret; on the first day, both expressed that the only reason they came to the X Mansion was to meet Allen, and that was it. If he didn't show up, both would leave this school.
No matter what Charles said, he couldn't convince them otherwise.
Jean sat next to Rogue in the front row, taking out a mirror to fix her hair. Inside Jean, even more excited than she was, was a fire creature that seemed to be screaming with joy.
Rogue watched Jean's actions; Rogue's female power wasn't very high, but she tried not to look like the same girl who combed her hair with her fingers in the morning.
'He's close...' thought Rogue nervously.
Footsteps approached, making everyone nervous. When the door opened slowly, Allen entered. The world was about to change, but there was one detail Allen didn't know.
...
The day before, behind closed doors, the Mutant Registration Act was approved.
This law required all mutants to register voluntarily for support in difficult legal and psychological situations, including shelter if necessary. On the surface, it seemed like a good thing, with the government treating mutants as war refugees. However, there was a catch...
Authorities were allowed to "take into custody" unregistered mutants, which was a nice way of saying they would arrest them.
The world was fearful; the next day, Allen made a stream announcing his new job as a professor at Charles Xavier's school. Many saw this as Allen's response to the new law.
During the stream, many were nervous, including Fury, Tony, and Maria Hill, who were well aware of the situation. However, they soon realized Allen did not know the new law; it was a coincidence.
But that didn't change the fact that this could be the beginning of a direct conflict between Allen and the government.
...
Reed watched the news of the anti-mutant law from his lab with a smirk.
"Fools, think they have the right to antagonize Allen?... Hahaha!"
Reed pressed a red button (he loved activating his inventions with red buttons...).
Behind Reed, a suspension capsule activated with several humanoid figures inside—Doomsday... and not just one, but around a hundred immoral, adaptable monsters.
[Ending suppression process... initiating neuronal stimulation... Injecting super-soldier serum... Injecting Hulk mutagen]
"It's time to push harder, Walker..."
Reed stood up as electricity coursed through lab number nine. For some reason, we couldn't understand why Reed Definitive created a different lab for each project; this one is in the middle of a volcano.
*Alarm*
"Damn it!... cancel the operation! I have things to do!"
[But sir, interrupting now will kill the Super Doomsday!]
"What?! Do you think I care? I'll make more or try something different!"
[...]
"You know I'm angry!"
Reed pulled a red button out of his pocket and pressed it.
[Initiating self-destruct sequence... of the Doomsday Invasion project...]
Reed had a mind so superior to others that no one could understand it... or he was just plain crazy.
===
A/N: It actually seemed like a good plan to make an army of Doomsday and give the Hulk powers... but his superior mind does things we don't understand.
