“May I ask why you are here?” They were truly an odd bunch who had appeared at an odd time.
Moreover, I could sense through my dragon sense that all of them were dangerous if I engaged them in combat, even the old man in wheelchair.
Thankfully, I could not sense any hostility from them otherwise I would have engaged them right away.
“Are you Peter Parker?” The bald man asked.
“Yes, I am. What is your business with me?” I asked warily.
“Hello, Peter. I am Professor Charles Xavier. Have you ever heard of me?” Professor Xavier asked me.
“Yes, I know. You are a renowned expert on mutant related topics.”
Now I understand who they were. The danger I felt from them combined with their background, revealed that they were mutants.
“Can we come inside? We need to discuss a few important things related to you.” Professor Xavier politely asked.
“Please wait a moment outside. I need to discuss it with my uncle and aunt.” Saying these words, I closed the door without giving them a moment to reply.
As I returned, I could see that Uncle Ben and Aunt May had emerged from their room because of our uninvited guests.
“Who is it, Peter?” Gwen asked me while descending the stairs.
“They are mutants. They have come to meet with me.” I said immediately, revealing the truth.
Ancient One had warned me when I had left Kamar Taj that mutants what seek me out madly as my X-gene was supposedly too powerful.
So, I had anticipated this encounter but I had not thought that they would arrive the same day I came back to the city.
“So, what do we do now, Peter?” Uncle Ben asked me realising I was more experienced in these matters.
“We would meet them but not before preparing thoroughly.” I activated the spatial ring on my right hand which Ancient One had gifted me on my promotion and pulled out three magical bracelets.
“Here, put these on your wrists and I try to activate them.” I instructed.
Everyone put them on and did as I instructed. Suddenly, there was an energy shield before everyone's body emanating from the bracelets.
One of the bracelets was the one I had created earlier and the rest I created under Hye-rin’s grandfather’s guidance, when he had arrived to make my armour in Kamar Taj.
“Alright, everyone. Get ready, I am bringing them in.” I asked everyone to be prepared.
Soon, I ushered Professor Xavier and the others into the living room.

“I apologise to everyone for ruining their sleep but it was an extremely important matter.” Professor Xavier looked genuinely sorry for disturbing us this late at night.
“Please don’t be wary. We have just come here to talk.” He reassured us once again noticing our guarded look.
“Let me introduce ourselves. I am Professor Charles Xavier and these are my friends Logan and Ororo Munroe.” He introduced himself and the man and woman who came with him.
“All of us are mutants.” Professor Xavier finally revealed that all of them were mutants.
They must have expected us to be surprised as they looked rather awkward after seeing that none of us were surprised by this sudden reveal.
“We have come to meet young Peter Parker here at such a time because he is a very powerful mutant.” Professor Xavier said and again none of us were surprised.
“It seems that all of you already know.” He muttered after seeing our expressions.
“How did you find that I was a mutant?” It was truly odd that they found about me after just a few hours I was in the city.
“Let’s just say that we have a mutant searching machine. Although, it is not accurate, it is more than enough to find the general area.
And, when we searched the news about this area, we found about you, young Peter. Someone who had suddenly disappeared but was later found, however was still out of town.” Professor Xavier started pointing out all the clues.
“Then, we queried in Mr. Ben’s company and found that he was on leave because his nephew was coming home today.
All of this matched perfectly with the sudden result, the machine gave us about the appearance of a powerful mutant.” Incredible, they found me so quickly even though they only knew the general area.
“So, what do you want with me?” I asked curiously as even now I could feel no hostility from them.
“I would like to offer you to join my school. ‘Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters’, a school I have created for mutants where they can learn how to control and use their powers properly.” Professor Xavier said, offering me a proposal.
I could see the benefit in joining such a school. Even I sometimes felt a little awkward in Kamar Taj because of my powers and status.
“What would happened if I deny your offer?” Unfortunately, I would have to deny Professor Xavier’s offer because I was already affiliated with Kamar Taj.
“Although we will do nothing if you reject our proposal, we will however, not be the last ones to approach you. Your powers are simply too strong for any organisation to leave you alone.
There are several unscrupulous organisations who will stop at nothing to make you join them. Each of them have their own agenda and would try to brainwash you to make you join them.” Professor Xavier explained the danger I was in.
“Moreover, they could even try to hurt your family because of you. We can help you in protecting your family if you join us as we are partnered with the government.” I could see what kind of position I was in.
“Please wait a moment.” Saying this, I went out of the living room.
Then, I sent a message to Ancient One through a communication spell asking her to visit after giving her information about my situation.
The situation was so serious that I could not decide alone. So, I decided to bring Ancient One in to explain that I was already a part of Kamar Taj.
“So, what do you think about my offer, Peter?” Professor Xavier asked after I returned.
“I am glad to receive your offer but I am already part of a different organisation.” I decided to tell the truth as Ancient One was going to visit in a few moments anyways.
Suddenly, I felt an intrusion in my mind which caused my instincts to go haywire.
I felt an image of a dragon roar in my mind against the intrusion. It was similar to the one I had seen before when I was meditating.
Soon after the dragon appeared in my mind with a roar, the mental intrusion disappeared from my mind after being struck back.
“Ah!!” Professor Xavier let out a roar of pain, revealing that he was the one who tried to enter my mind.
However, the damage was already done. Because of the sudden intrusion, my illusion spell was shattered, revealing my true appearance.
Furthermore, as a result of my instincts going wild, my arms had transformed into claws, emitting red lightning.
“Charles, hadn’t you said that the boy’s powers were still developing?” Logan suddenly questioned.
