Chereads / Marvel: Born in Fire! / Chapter 11 - Chapter 10

Chapter 11 - Chapter 10

Admittedly, just leaving the room and walking with Skaar may have not been the best plan to meet the students and make friends. Shame since Skaar really needed some friends.

But for some reason, the students seemed to be actively staying away from us. Which was strange since I was pretty sure that they were teenagers and teenagers were supposed to be little shits with no understanding of privacy or a sense of self preservation. Two new students should have made them excited and swarm them like thirsty high school girls swarming a Korean pop star.

"Hey." Oh, it seems like I have spoken too soon as several people were now approaching us.

One of them looked like a run of the mill high school jock. Somewhat muscular and somewhat handsome, definitely forgettable. The girl beside him was less forgettable, mostly because of her neon blue hair. The last guy was the most memorable though, because he was a very big gelatinous mass with a skeleton inside.

It was kinda cool, in a weird and gross way.

"Hello." I said with a tilt of my head which somehow seemed to make the forgettable jock angry.

"Hello yourself. I can't believe that the X-Men would allow you two in the school after what that monster father of yours did." He growled at us, a thin green aura covering his whole body.

Now I remembered who he was, Hellion. A student of Emma with telekinetic powers and an all around rich asshole student that every school had. Pretty sure he would later on get some character development and become the jerk with a heart of gold among the young mutants. Or something along those lines.

"Nice to meet you too, can I have some names now?" I asked with a raised eyebrow as I slowly stepped between the trio and Skaar. It wouldn't do well if he got mad and tried to smash them.

"Julian Keller not that you'll get to use it much."

"Robert Herman, also Glob, here with Julian." The giant human jello said as he punched the palm of his hand. I really can't help but wonder how his biology works.

"Noriko Ashida, I'm only here to make sure these two doesn't do anything too stupid. Welcome to school by the way." The blue haired girl said with a smirk as she crossed her arms over her chest, only to be glared by Julian.

"The hell Surge?! Are you really ok with letting these two into the school after what their father did?!"

"We are okay with letting you in even though you assault everyone's eyes with that haircut so I don't see any problems." Noriko snorted and I decided that I liked her sense of humor, the snark was strong in her.

"Bah, you're just afraid Surge; and it's pathetic." The living human science show said with a shake of his head, which made us see the shaking of his skull and eyeballs, before rounding at us.

"These two are… nothing…" He trailed off as he saw that instead of a gray dude and gray kid, there was a gray dude and a grayish Hulk standing before them. And the grayish Hulk had his teeth bared much like a wild beast.

Noriko and Hellion took a few steps back while Glob just fell down on his butt. Honestly, why were they so surprised? They knew that we were the children of Hulk but were surprised when Skaar hulked out? Weird.

Though I probably should interfere before something stupid happens.

"Skaar, do calm down." I glared up at my brother who looked down at me, I was already missing him being in his kid form.

"We will not start fights." I glared up at my brother, we were now students and students could not just go around smashing other students out of class. They smashed idiot bigots who try to invade school.

Our glare off continued for a few more seconds until Skaar finally huffed and shrunk back to his adorable form.

"Good brother." I said with a smile as I patted him on the head, warning; anyone without doing such a thing without brother privileges may end up losing a finger... or a hand... or an arm.

"Apologies, where were we?" I asked as I turned around to the frightened forms of Hellion and Glob along with the less frightened and more amused Surge.

"We were introducing ourselves." Noriko said mirthfully with a shake of her head before offering her hand in a shake, covered in some sort of gauntlet.

"As I already said, Noriko Ashida. But you can call me Surge if you want."

"Well met. I am Hiro Kala, you can call me Kala. And this is my brother Skaar." I said with a smile, Skaar on the other hand just turned his head around.

"Sorry, he isn't exactly the most sociable person."

"No worries." Noriko shook her head. "I should apologize though, I probably should have stopped those idiots before they could have tried anything." She said with a glare at the retreating forms of Helion and Glob, they had started to make their retreat while I was talking to Noriko.

"No worries; I believe the situation was merely, as it is called on this planet, hazing."

"Not exactly, be careful. Julian and Glob might be idiots, but they won't be the only one to pull something like this. Your father isn't exactly well liked in the school at the moment, he kinda almost killed us last time we saw him." Noriko said with a frown, I had my own on my face too.

"Understandable. Though from what I know, if my father didn't kill anyone; it means he didn't want to kill anyone." This seemed to somehow displease Noriko but before she could say anything, we were interrupted.

"Don't bother. Most people here are very delicate when it comes to getting hurt." The words were mocking and they belonged to a girl with blond hair and a sword strapped to her thigh. A girl that I had flew together to this school.

"Illyana." Noriko said with a scowl, it looked like the bluenette didn't exactly like the russian mutant.

"Hi again, alien boy." Illyana said with a smile, completely ignoring Noriko.

"Hello again." I replied with a smile while panicking internally. I had no idea what to make of the magical mutant, especially since I knew that she was one of the strongest people in this school and one of the few who would go for the kill in a fight without a second thought.

"Come with me." She said, her smile became mischievous as she grabbed my arm and started to pull me towards her destination.

A rather abrupt but... I didn't really dislike it. Especially since her pulling me after her gave me the perfect opportunity to watch her back, if you know what I mean.
