After Some Research - Brotherhood Route

I had taken a week to research mutant and mental abilities, as well as a few basic principles of hypnosis. It was finally time to try out my powers for real.

I still hardly believe it but I've got actual superpowers! I shouldn't get ahead of myself, but I think today's gonna be fun

As had become normal for me, I avoided eye contact throughout my morning classes. At lunch however, I was ready to see what I could do. I sat down across from Grace, a girl in my math class.

God her lips look so soft. I wonder how they'd feel wra–

"Oh uh..Connor, what's up?" Grace interrupted my daydreaming

"Oh nothing much just, how are you...doing..."

I looked into her eyes on reflex and soon they were empty. I grinned at the success of my newfound power, but had to decide what to suggest quickly.

Nothing too drastic, but it's gotta be something easy to check—preferably enjoyable.. I suppose I'll start with something subtle, to make a foundation, and then comes the fun stuff

"Grace, can you hear me?"

"Yes.." she replied monotone

I blinked, glancing at her lips momentarily, but the trance held just fine.

"Grace; when you awaken, you won't remember being entranced, or anything while you were hypnotized. You will forget everything after I sat down. Do you understand?"

"...Yes... Forget..."

"Good. Now Grace; you think I'm a nice guy, and you want to get to know me better. That's right, isn't it?"

"Yes.."

"And in order to get to know me better, you're going to–"

I flinched as the intercom came on, breaking the trance as well. More annoying and somewhat concerning was me being called to the office.

Thank God I started with the forgetfulness. Guess I'll pick this up tomorrow. Unless they know. Shit, if someone found out I'm screwed

"What's that about?" Grace asked?

"No clue. At least I wasn't hungry today," I replied being mostly honest.

I made my way to the front office going over the past week or two in my head, searching for anything I did wrong, trying to figure out what was going on. All I could think of was the cafeteria situation, which just happened. Arriving at the office I tried to calm down, figuring that whatever I was called for wasn't necessarily bad.

The vice principal, Mrs. Reagan, lead me back to her office. Inside was my mother, who somehow looked barely slightly older than me; it was like she'd de-aged a few years; oddly. Mrs. Reagan explained there had been a family emergency and my mother was here to pick me up. Mrs. Reagan asked if I was listening, to which my mother cut in and even her voice was a bit off.

"I'm sure he's paying attention Mrs. Reagan, this is just a lot to take in. It is not every day your grandmother passes away, you understand, don't you?" she pleaded with a cocked head.

"Yes, of course," replied the Principal, "Please feel free to be on your way. I'm sure you have a lot to do and prepare for in the upcoming days. Four days you said he'd be gone?"

"Yes, plus the weekend. I'll try to have him back by the start of next week for Monday," concurred my mother.

"Very well. We'll catch him up on his course work and get some extra homework assignments when he returns. Take care," nodded the Principal as he motioned towards the door.

Following my mother out the office, I noticed her butt even seemed somehow ....perky?

What is going on? My mother is younger, her butt seems larger, its like she's a -- different woman?!

Earlier that day, 1006 Mount Revel Road, quickly doing a Google search, "Huh, it seems a family named Sonmus. Quickly checking FacialBook, yes, there was a profile located in this city for a Samantha Sonmus and Connor Sonmus. That must be who they are here to see. I bet they decided to talk to the parents first.

At last, following Jean and Scott all day had paid off. Its this time of the year the X-Men mansion usually tries to collect its newest recruits for the academy.... she figured if she followed their vehicle indiscreetly, perhaps she could get a jump and steal the new recruit right from under them, giving another powerful mutant on the side of the Brotherhood who would make humanity pay for treating mutants like freaks and turning us into second class citizens.

"Ah, here we go," said to herself Jean seeing a full body shot of Sam Sonmus on InstaOunce in a bikini. In a few seconds, she morphed into a "filter applied" version of Sam Sonmus and quickly ran another Google search for "High Schools near me" based off Connor's apparent age.

A few minutes later, she was pulling up in her rented vehicle and making her way to the campus office. She had to be quick as who knows how long Jean and Scott would spend trying to convince the parents to let their child take part in the "great educational opportunity"; more like "great social-justice brainwashing." __

Humans are not our equals, they ought to be our servants. Those with power should rule.

"Mom, whose SUV is that?" asked Connor becoming even more suspicious. Looking at the tinted windows, he almost felt like it would be something a government official like FBI would be driving around in.

"Don't worry about it, I had to borrow a relative's vehicle who came for the funeral," she quickly quipped with a practiced ability to lie as a longstanding spy.

"Oh, ...uhh okay," replied Connor climbing into the car as he climbed into the strange foreign SUV. Turning to his mother, now with completely blue skin with bright yellow-eyes, which Connor attempted to immediately make eye contact, at the exact same moment he felt power-limiting cuffs wrapping around his wrist.
