Chapter 5: Trouble with the school bully



"So ... why are you here?" Chris asked the beautiful but fierce black haired girl sitting next to her.

Seeing the boy's curious expression, she frowns and starts to say. "Grrr, that's none of your business ..."

"I understand ..." after not getting any response from the girl, he just stops asking and starts humming a song that he had heard at karaoke the day before.

Hearing the cheerful humming of the boy next to her, the beautiful girl takes it from the top of her shirt and says to him. "Could you stop with that silly humming..."

Looking at the girl with a frown, Chris can't help but think if the girl was crazy, but remembering the difficult past that girl had lived through, he managed to calm down, gently taking the girl's hand, he started to say. "Thanks for kindly telling me Laura"

"Hump! ..." without even replying, Laura simply snorted and looked back at the large book shelves.

It turns out that the two of them had met on the way to the library, as Chris had been sent by his teacher to bring some books that he left to keep, while Laura had gone to borrow a science book, as due to the lateness who had gotten up, had forgotten to put his science book in his backpack.

Laura was one of the girls that was in Hope's group, being at the same time, a mutant like her friend, but unlike Hope, she was born due to an experiment in advanced genetics, in which, they used DNA of Logan, an X-Men, the 'X-Men, are a group of mutants, which help with crime in the world, at the same time, it is a group of mutants that tries to establish their place in the world like all the other races. With the code name 'Wolverine', this person is a quite skilled mutant who has retractable claws on his hands and a rather surprising regeneration, even saving him from bullet holes even in the head. Like her 'father', she obtained an above-average feedback, she also achieved great reflexes and instincts that warned her of dangers, but unlike her 'father', she only had two retractable claws, this being one of the things that bothered him the most, since he felt different, even among mutants ...

Once both had already been called for their respective orders, the two went to where the receptionist of the Library was, which, kindly asked them for their IDs and after verifying that they were the originals, went on to deliver their books.

Having already obtained the order for which they had come, both say goodbye to the receptionist and go on to leave. While they are on their way to their classrooms, Chris decides to try to break the ice one more time with the fierce girl, but the latter always responded vaguely, at least, until a small comment came out of Chris's mouth, which was it. "You know, if you continue in that mood you won't get any friends .....!"

After letting out his comment, Chris begins to mechanically move his head to where Laura was, who only had a grim expression, but instead of lashing out at Chris, she simply replied. "You don't need to remind me ...."

Seeing how the fierce girl was leaving, he just lets out a tired sigh and heads over to where his classroom was, but along the way, he was wondering what he should do to reward Laura, after all, even if it was very annoying and angry, that did not give Chris the right to criticize her, much less to tell her how it should be ...

Having spent several quiet hours in class, Chris said goodbye to Peter and the others, as he had found a secret hiding place that is capable of facilitating some investigations that he wanted to do, but that due to his 'current life' he was not able to do at his house, unfortunately for him, after being separated from Peter and the others, another group was waiting for him outside.

"Mmm?! .... Chris !!" yelled Hope, who was starting to wave her arm like a flag.

The moment he saw the group, Chris had the instinct to want to avoid them, but since that would make Hope quite angry and draw suspicion from his other teammates, he decided to go where they were, of course, even if they tried to force him to go to his Gifted Children's Mansion, he could easily take care of them, well, at least most ...

"Hi Hope, how are you? How was she in class today?"

"Well.... the truth is that there is nothing that should highlight, wait, that is not important now Chris...." said Hope, while she seemed to scold the boy, but having remembered something that had been said to him this morning, she starts to say. "I would like you to come to my house!"

"Eh ?!" Confused by the strange way in which Hope said her phrase, Chris looks towards where his other companions of hers were, while he had an expression of explanation on her face.

"Sigh * What Hope meant was that we would like to invite you to hang out at our home" clarified Piotr, who was also a mutant and his code name was 'Colossus', born on a Soviet farm with his two brothers, a mutant capable of changing the tissues of his body and turning it into an organic substance similar to steel, thus achieving a great enhanced strength and impenetrable defense.

"I see ... I'm sorry Hope, but I think that will be for another time, I have plans for today ..." unfortunately when Chris said this, he managed to awaken Hope's curious instincts, which despite being discouraged after hearing his friend's response, he insisted on wanting to accompany him to where he was going.

Feeling quite suffocated by the stubborn redhead, Chris finally managed to break free, as he had tricked Hope with a childish little trick and quickly escaped her sight with the help of [Gate of Babylon], appearing in a rather large but neglected and neglected abandoned building with various damages to his walls and roof.

"Sigh * I hope you don't get too upset" Chris said, as he set his backpack on a rusty old chair.

Walking over to a fairly modern computer, Chris sat in a fairly comfortable chair and began to type various codes, managing to turn on a machine that was next to the computer. Various files began to appear, including several drawings of objects and drafts of what appeared to be suits made from polymers and various other chemical compounds.

The way in which Chris managed to obtain these types of machines, was due to his ability [Creation of Territory], this ability, despite being in a fairly low state, allowed him to build various items, but these were limited to size, having to emsanblar piece by piece the machine that he had previously started. He had been looking for a place to develop various technologies, since, despite being able to use his [Golden Vault], because it was a small pocket dimension, there was no type of signal or electricity present, although he managed to create a homemade electric motor didn't do much good, as the runes around the large room seemed to be absorbing the energy within the machine.

While waiting for what he had sent to scan to be built, Chris begins to review the messages he had, but the one he gave the highest priority was Gordon's message, which he said.

"Chris, because a rather troublesome case occurred, I will not be able to have dinner with you, so this time you will have to have dinner alone, still, leave some things in my refrigerator, if you want you can take it to make your dinner"

Responding immediately after finishing reading, Chris began to explain to Gordon that this time he would be staying over at a friend's house, since they had a small job that the teacher had left them, something Gordon took calmly and sole asked him to sleep early.

(POV Hope)

"Hump! How dare Chris fool me like that, he just wanted to know where he was going!" Hope exclaimed, while she expressed her complaints to her friends, who had a rather tired expression, since all the way, she was complaining about Chris.

"Well Summers, you must understand that there are times when guys need to release their saved content" said Elizabeth, which was the beautiful purple haired girl Chris had seen a few days ago.

Elizabeth Braddock, also known as Psylocke, is the daughter of a champion from the other world, she was a mutant with the telepathic ability, the channeling of psychic energy, among other powers, becoming one of the strongest mutants in the world. She had been trained by the STRIKE Division, becoming a secret agent for them, but in the end, due to various problems that began to arise, she was saved by the X-Men, becoming one of them, as she wanted to prove her worth to those who helped her....

"What do you mean by releasing your saved content?" Hope asked curiously, as she didn't know exactly what her friend's rather quirky phrase meant.

"What I want to say is-"

"We men sometimes need a moment for ourselves Hope, so you understand Chris, okay?" Bobby said, as he covered Elizabeth's mouth. Bobby Drake, is a mutant with the ability to transform the molecules around him into ice, being recruited by the X-Men, he works alongside them under the codename 'Iceman' ...

"Hmm, I still don't understand it, but even so, the teacher had told us to take it with us so that he can see it for himself, right? So, how will we explain that we can't bring it?" Hope asked.

"Okay Hope, the teacher will understand, besides, now is not the time for you to worry about those things, we must finish the homework that the teacher left us for tomorrow" said Piotr, while he began to eat some sandwiches.

Looking at their provisional leader, the three people sighed as they couldn't handle their friend's seriousness, but while they continued talking about their conflicts, Laura, who was on one side of all of them, was thinking about what Chris had said this morning, although it was not the first time they told her, except for her father, the teacher and her friends, she never believed that she would hear it from the rather annoying boy she had met, even though she knew that he was trying to be nice to her, the latter simply looked down on him, so she was wondering if she should apologize to the boy for his lack of consideration.

"Tsk, school really is quite annoying ...."

The next morning, a rather tired and sweaty Chris could be found, who was sleeping peacefully, getting up after a few minutes, he begins to look around in a puzzled way, but after seeing the time that the clock was on his computer, he comically opens his mouth and quickly hides everything, taking only what he had scanned and his backpack. Once he finished fixing his pretty sweaty clothes, he teleports to an alley near the school where he was, but sadly for him, he didn't make it on time and ended up being punished.

"Sigh * I can't believe I really have to walk around in gym clothes until school is over ..." Chris lamented, as he started to head towards the cafeteria.

Once he got there, he rushed into the cafeteria, dumbfounded by the scene unfolding in front of him, it turns out that moments before he arrived, Peter, MJ, and Gwen sat next to Barbara and Cindy, while they were chatting quietly, Hope went over to them and asked if they could join her and her group for lunch together, to which they all agreed as they had been getting along since the time they went to karaoke.

Watching the scene, Chris begins to doubt whether he should appear or not, but before he had time to leave the cafeteria, he managed to hear his name, coming from the table where Peter and the others were. But at the moment this was heard, many other people also saw it momentarily, although this did not matter much to him, he was able to feel the strange looks that the girls gave him, even the ones that were at his table.

Raising an eyebrow at this, he slowly approaches where his friends were, but once close, he feels that something is going to happen, but as if to confirm his thoughts, a large amount of soda is thrown at him, staining everything his uniform and making it a bit transparent.

"Oops, sorry new boy, I didn't know that would happen ... HAHAHAHA" the blond boy began to laugh, quite robust that had been the cause of Chris being covered in soda.

Seeing their soda-stained friend, Hope, along with Barbara and Cindy get up to demand from the blond boy what he had done, even thinking about using his telepathic powers to teach him a lesson, but suddenly, each of them begins to feel a strange energy that begins to appear, but they were not the only ones, since both Laura, Pylocke and to a lesser extent MJ, Gwen, Peter, Piotr, etc.

Looking at the young blond man with a calm expression, Chris simply makes a confident face and says. "I understand then ...." Taking a notebook from his backpack, he drops it on the blond boy's food, causing it to explode and will begin to cover the blond boy's entire body and face with mustard, quetchup and various meats and vegetables. "Whoops, sorry, I forgot I had to hold my notebook"

Laughs * laughs * laughs * laughs *

Hearing the various laughter that began to sound, including from the table where the girl he wanted to date was, the blond boy gets up from his seat quite annoyed and brings his face closer to where Chris is, starting to say. "You know, no one plays a prank on Flash Thompson and he gets away with it ...."

"Seriously, wow, then I think I should apologize to you .... I'm really sorry for what I did, Pash Dobson, by the way, ketchup looks great on you" said Chris, as he had a mocking smile on his face .

Unable to bear being taunted by the wimpy kid in front of him, Flash just grins and unexpectedly throws a punch at Chris's face, but instead of Chris dodging or getting hit, he managed to stop Flash's punch. Taking a strong grip on the bully's fist, Chris puts a rather harmless smile on his face, but after a few seconds, he began to increase the strength in his grip, causing Flash to break into a cold sweat and feel great pressure wanting to crush his hand.

Making a signal for his friends to come help him, several people start to appear around Chris, to the latter's surprise, but regaining his former calm expression, he says with a calm and collected tone.

"So ... are you going to apologize or should we move on to fists?"
