"Hey Jean, you should have waited for us, you know. I have never seen you run as fast as that, not even when that mutant dog chased you a couple of years ago." A girl who looked younger than Jean said as she came towards Rudeus with the other X-men.
"Wha-What are you talking about? Don't joke Kitty." Jean protested due to her shame.
Rudeus recognized who this kitty girl was, she was Katherine Pryde or Shadow cat, the girl with phasing powers. She looked a few years younger than Jean.
Rudeus specially noted her in his mind because she was one of the few people who could effectively counter his divine spirit perk. But that didn't mean he would try to antagonize her or something. Infact Rudeus quite liked the bubbly energetic attitude of the young mutant.
"Oh and who are you six? I am Katherine Pryde but people normally call me Kitty here" Kitty tried to talk with Rudeus and the quintuplets after noticing them standing with Jean and Ororo as well.
"I am Rudeus Fireheart. I am here on a tour of this school as an admirer and potential long time partner for its goals." Rudeus answered back.
The Stepford cuckoos also introduced themselves one by one. They didn't really like to talk much but still appeared friendly whenever they participated in conversations.
"Oh hi Rudeus, long time no see" Kurt Wagner greeted Rudeus after he noticed him. He had become quite the fan of the young god after their last meeting in Egypt.
"Wait, this is the Rudeus you guys were talking about, the supposed god who defeated the Egyptian blue weirdo? Wow, I guess they did not exaggerate at all. You are hotter than anybody I have ever seen." Kitty mumbled in a dazed manner.
"Stop saying stupid stuff, Kitty. You are embarassing us." Kurt said as he almost blushed while Jean nodded like she completely agreed him.
"Well thanks, I'll be taking that as a compliment." Rudeus smiled at the young mutants. He was having fun as his narcissistic side was being tickled here.
Very soon even Bobby and Scott joined them as well. Bobby blushed a little after noticing Rudeus while Scott just scowled.
"What are you doing here?" Scott enquired in a rude voice.
"Well I am here to get these girls here to join the school as its students. They are all budding metahumans with telepathic powers. So I thought that they could study here while learning more about their power as well as making new friends at the same time." Rudeus ignored Scott's rude tone and just explained his reason of coming here to the rest of the X-men here.
"That's amazing. We will make sure that they will have fun here. Leave it to us. But what is a metahuman by the way?" Bobby replied this time to try to impress Rudeus. He still thought he had a chance to woo the young handsome god.
Rudeus was exhausted explaining the meaning of metahuman to everyone. He was almost regretting about trying to change the term in his mind. But fortunately Ororo came to his rescue and explained about its meaning.
'That's why I need underlings, to do stuff like that.' Rudeus thought as he appreciated Ororo's help.
"Wow, that's amazing. You really care about ordinary metahumans like us don't you? Even though you are a god, you are still trying to help metahumans to live better lives." Jean said in an impressed voice.
Rudeus didn't reply anything at that and just smiled. He wasn't exactly doing everything for free, He had his own agenda in trying to help the mutants. He was actually trying to raise his own loyal subordinates/army by doing all this.
But he of course didn't try to correct her.
"It doesn't seem that special. Anybody can come up with a new name like metahuman. I think mutant still sounds better." Scott tried to give his two cents which everyone just ignored.
"By the way, where is Pietro?" Rudeus asked curiously. He was curious about the speed powered mutant because he wanted to ask him if he had a sister named Wanda Maximoff in this world.
Rudeus was having trouble in searching for Wanda. He was not able to find any clues about her even after using all his resources or even Zoya to search for her.
"Pietro actually left us. He went to join Magneto in Genosha after he found out that Magneto was actually his father." Kurt said in a hurt filled voice.
All the X-men seemed a little down at the mention of Pietro's name. They were probably hurt by his betrayal.
"I see" Rudeus replied in a caring voice.
"By the way, is it true? Are you really a god? I mean you surely look like one." Bobby asked this time.
"Uhh, yeah. I actually am." Rudeus answered.
"Do you guys actually believe him? He isn't a god. He is just a strong mutant like us. You have to be literal idiots to really believe that gods exist." Cyclops said in another desperate attempt to seem like a leader to the X-men.
"Well I believe him. I don't think someone like Rudeus will lie to us. Plus he does look like a male god with that body." Jean mumbled the last part in an extremely low voice.
Scott seemed even more annoyed at this point since it was his own crush who had refuted him this time while almost flirting with this enemy of his.
"Thanks Jean. And yes. Gods do exist. Norse gods, Egyptian gods, Greek gods, Hindu gods, Chinese gods they all exist. They have their respective pantheons and reside in their respective domains."
Rudeus began to spread his wisdom.
"As for me, I am a New god which is basically in my knowledge a new type of mutant god or I should say a god of metahumans. I was born for helping and guiding metahumans like you all and that's exactly what I am trying to do."
Rudeus continued his bullshitting.
"Wow, that's amazing. So should we pray to you from now on?" Kurt asked in an innocent voice. He seemed really taken by his words.
'Wait, did they actually believe my bullshit that easily. Man, I should try to take a job as a religious leader or something... oh, I already have that job, don't I?" Rudeus thought in his mind.
But he didn't show any such emotions outwards. "You can do whatever you want. I will try to help every metahuman, irrespective of if they pray to me or not." He said with a smile.
"If some follower loves you with all their heart, will you love them back as well?" Bobby suddenly asked like he just had an epiphany.
Rudeus almost coughed at that. He really wanted to make it clear to Bobby soon that he didn't bend that way, but this was neither the time nor the place to do that.
He just looked at the ice powered mutant and said "My love is for everybody as long as that person deserves it." He gave a vague answer since Rudeus himself would be the one to decide who deserved his love and who didn't.
Both Jean and Ororo however on the other hand looked red as they blushed hearing about the talks of love.
They were having some indecent thoughts in their minds right now.
Rudeus was going to have some more fun by teasing them but suddenly he felt a little odd. Some of his senses flared as he started to look around him.
And just when he thought that his senses were wrong, he saw the body of Wolverine flying towards where they were standing and landing a few feet away from them.
Logan looked hurt but was quickly healing as he didn't even mind his own pain and just stood up again like nothing had occured.
The next moment a gaint metal coated man was also thrown similarly like Logan as he too landed near them in the ground while forming a huge crater. Rudeus recognized the metal covered bulky mutant. He was the gentleman mutant, Piotr Rasputin, aka, Colossus.
Colossus however didn't rise up like Logan, he was completely knocked out as his skin went back to its original colour from its metallic one.
Everyone was confused at what what was happening. They didn't understand why mutants were suddenly falling from the sky. Just when they were going to ask the two about what happened, a tall robot suddenly appeared, slowly descending to where they stood.
Rudeus recognized the droid, he had seen similar droids before in the Days of the future past X-men movie.
'Please don't tell me, this is one of the dark alternate timelines of the Marvel verse' He thought grimly.
