The Team
"In local news, another anti-mutant protest has ended in-"
(Y/n) groaned as he sat on the couch in one of the many living rooms of the Xavier mansion/school. "Turn that garbage off Billy. There's never anything positive on the news"
Billy Kaplan rolled his eyes before grabbing the remote with his magic and turning the tv off. "You don't have to sit here while I watch it then"
"You're my cousin... sort of. I want to spend time with you" (y/n) spoke as he glanced at his watch.
Billy nodded as he looked up at his cousin. "I want to spend time with you too. But I'm going out soon"
"Where are you going?" (Y/n) quickly asked, it wasn't like Billy to leave at night. "You got a date?"
"In fact I do" Billy smirked smugly.
"So who's the lucky lady?" (Y/n) quickly asked causing the other boy to lose his smile although only for a moment. (Y/n) assumed he just hadn't expected the suddenness.
"Nobody you know" Billy finally spoke as he regained his smile. He stood up. "Want to help me choose an outfit?"
"With my sense of style? That should go well" (y/n) let out a laugh before he also stood up and followed his cousin as he began walking.
"Yeah I've been meaning to ask about that" Billy spoke gently. "What were you thinking when you matched that shirt with an orange kippah. It really doesn't work"
"My normal kippah got disintegrated in the danger room earlier" (y/n) sighed. "Was actually gonna ask-"
Before he could finish Billy's hand was surrounded by magic and in a moment (y/n) found his normal navy blue kippah sitting on his head in place of the one that had just been there. "Oh. Thanks!"
"Can't leave you looking like you're wearing an orange on your head" Billy smirked as they turned a corner.

"Where is that boy?" Katherine Pryde asked herself as she walked down the halls of the dorm area of the school. She had already checked his room but he wasn't there.
"I am not wearing transformers cufflinks on my date" Kitty heard the stern tone of voice from the mostly closed door a few feet from her. "How about the star ones?"
"That must be him" she laughed to herself before quickly walking to the door and knocking on it twice. "Come on!"
Kitty quickly stuck her head and upper body through the door. "Hey is- yep, he is" she quickly noticed (y/n) helping Billy with his cufflinks.
"Good evening Kat" (y/n) smiled at her as he finished putting Billy's cufflinks on him.
"Please don't call me that" Kitty frowned. "I don't want that name sticking"
"What can we help you with Kitty?" Billy quickly asked as he slipped on his suit jacket.
"I'm actually here to deliver a message" Kitty spoke as she looked once again at (y/n) and walked the rest of the way through the door so she was fully in the room. "Magneto asked to see us in the morning"
"Us us?" (Y/n) asked as he motioned between him and kitty. "Or us us" he motioned between all three people in the room.
"All of us and Kurt" Kitty shrugged as she motioned to all of them. "He didn't tell me why"
"Alright cool" (y/n) nodded as he watched Billy mess with his hair. "Kitty can you tell him he looks fine? His nervousness is getting less cute and more annoying" Billy shot the boy a glare only to be met with a loving smile.
"You look great Billy" Kitty spoke as she looked the boy over. "You going to a wedding or something?"
"I've got a date" Billy spoke as he adjusted his cufflinks a bit.
"Who's the lucky person?" Kitty asked as she walked over to the boys bed and sat down.
"Nobody you know" Billy once again replied cryptically.
"Come on tell us about her" (y/n) spoke as he sat down beside Kitty. She gave him a look that in her mind meant don't make gender assumptions but (y/n) saw as meaning something along the lines of don't pressure him.
Billy once more adjusted the cufflinks before turning to the door. "I'll see you two in the morning" he spoke before walking out.
"Why doesn't he want to tell us about his date?" (Y/n) thought aloud, not asking anyone in particular.
Kitty decided not to voice her suspicions in case she was wrong. "I'm sure you'll be able to get more out of him eventually"
"Maybe" (y/n) spoke as he stood up. "What about you? Any plans Ms. Pryde?"
Kitty shrugged. "Well I do have a bed I'd very much like to sleep through the night on"
"Right, right" (y/n) nodded.
Kitty stood up and looked over at the boy. "Goodnight (y/n)" she spoke before walking to the door and going right through it.
"Goodnight" (y/n) nodded before walking to the door, opening it, and exiting the room.

Professor Xavier watched the conversing students from the doorway of the room, Magneto by his side. "Students" he spoke causing everyone to quickly turn to him and become silent as they entered the room.
He looked them over. (Y/n), the grandson of his once enemy and best friend. Kitty, the girl who he had always meant to join the X-men. Billy, the reincarnation of another of his best friends grandsons. Kurt, the only one who had as of yet worked with the X-men, even if it was only briefly.
"We've asked you four here because you are the most well equipped students here for what we have planned. Know however that if you so choose you can turn down this offer, there will be no negative repercussions if you do" Charles spoke as they all just continued to stare at them curiously.
Erik took over from here. "Years ago the X-men disappeared. The world has gone to long without them" he spoke as they stopped moving forwards. "You all know what the world outside is like to people like us, and you know what good the X-men did. We are offering you all the opportunity to continue their legacy. To be heroes to your mutant brothers and sisters" Charles wasn't sure he liked how Erik seemed to be trying to tempt them, whether he meant to or not.
"Not only mutants" Charles spoke to remind Erik as much as he spoke to the students. "But the humans as well. We don't plan to have you going on missions as dangerous as those of your predecessors. We've already lost one team and have no desire to lose another" he spoke grimly. "But you would still be doing more good than most could ever hope to"
"What say you?" Erik asked the group, although Charles noticed his gaze mainly stayed on his two grandchildren. "Will you be heroes?"
There was a moment of silence as the teens all looked between each other. "I'm in" Kitty was the first to speak.
"As am I" Kurt answered a second later.
"Ah screw it. Me too" Billy added.
"You do realize I can't work on Saturdays or holidays?" (Y/n) spoke up after another moment. "If I can get those days off I'm in" a second later he quickly added. "Unless of course it's life or death in which case I'll help anyways"
Erik smiled and nodded. "Of course, we took this into account before asking" he walked up to his grandson and put his hands on his shoulders. "Your great grandparents would be proud of how you've embraced our culture, especially with how I have failed to do so"
(Y/n) couldn't help the small smile that appeared on his face after those words. His grandfather wasn't one for giving praise so it was always extra special when he did give it.
