13Lee was lying down near one of the trees in his village, he had decided to take a day and relax. In the distance here could here the sound of Beyblade's causing him to smile. The fifteen year old opened his eyes when a shadow was cast over him, "Ray do you really have to block the sun?"
The long haired male blocking his shade shared a laugh, "No, but it is one way to get you attention. Do you mind if I join you?"
"Go ahead." Lee answered, closing his eyes again. He heard his long haired feline friend plop next to him, "So what brings you my humble abode?"
Ray laughed, "Oh nothing, just looking for some relaxing company. You seemed like the perfect candidate."
"Well then you have my honor." Lee chuckled out. The two stayed the rest of the time in complete silence. However that silence was about to be disrupted and a new discovery made when a Beyblade went flying in their direction. Lee shot up and pushed Ray out of the way, as the Beyblade cut into his right arm. With a soft cry from Lee the sky suddenly lit up red.
Ray looked at the damage only to gasp, "Lee you are…you are healing."
"What are you talking about?" The injured male asked looking at his right arm. His jaw dropped when he saw the wound closing on itself he looked at his best friend, "Ray what just happened."

Xavier opened his eyes and looked at where the mutant signal took place, 'There must be a village there in the mountains.' He got a closer looked at the new mutant and then took off the helmet. He picked up the paper and looked at the identity of the new mutant. He had golden cat eyes, pulled back black mid back length hair, pointed elfin ears, a dark tan, and a strong physique. The professor smiled and called all of his X-Men to the meeting room.
He rolled into the meeting room and smiled as Scott spoke, "So a new one hu?"
"Yes, he has two familiar powers that are here in this mansion. So they will not be too difficult to deal with." Xavier said, "You will find him in a village in a mountain range in China. I have already sent the coordinates to Beast, do not park the X-Jet inside the village. If I am correct they do not have a lot of technology there so don't cause any problems with the jet."
"So who are we looking for?" Jean asked.
"His name is Lee Wong." Xavier answered, "Be careful when collecting him, if what I know about villages in China they are very close they may not be so eager to let him go."

The jet landed in a big open field a little ways away from the village. When they walked off the jet Ice Man commented, "Man this place is really out here."
Storm looked at him, "He lives in a village in the mountains Ice Man, they are this far on purpose."
It took them about twenty minuets to get to the village and when they walked in the people looked at them funny and started talking to each other in their language. A really long haired boy ran out yelling, "Yě jiùshì shuō lǔ dé, tāmen kěnéng diūshī. (That is rood they are probably lost.)" He turned to them and bowed, "Xǐ duìbùqǐ tāmen, wǒmen bù huì ràng yóukè pínfán. (Hi sorry about them we don't get visitors often.)"
"Ummm, Wolverine." Scott said, looked at the big buff man.
"Oh, how rood of me I am sorry I did not realize you don't speak Chinese. I am terribly sorry." The boy said with a sheepish face. Someone laughed at him, "Shénme shì zhème hǎoxiào? (What is so funny?)"
Another teen male with mid back length black hair walked up to his friend lightly punching him in the shoulder, "Nǐ shì yīgè yǐjīng bǐ wǒmen qítā rén gèng duō de lǚxíng, nǐ wàng liǎo bùshì měi gèrén dōu shuí fǎngwèn zhōngguó jiǎng Chinises. (You are the one that has traveled more than the rest of us and you forget not everyone who visits China speaks Chinese.)"
The longer haired male glared at him, "Nǐ zhīdào, wǒ hèn nǐ de shíhòu. (You know I hate you sometimes.)"
"Lì ná guòlái, ràng nǐ de shǒubì jiǎnchá. Wǒmen xūyào quèbǎo tā bù bèi gǎnrǎn. (Lee get over here and get your arm checked. We need to make sure it isn't infected.)" A young teenage girl with pink hair growled trying to drag the other male away.
The teen held her at arms length away, "Mǎlìyà wǒ hěn hǎo, tā yùhé zhīqián de rènhé gǎnrǎn néng xiǎngdào de chángshì. (Mariah I am fine, it healed before any infection could think of trying.)"
Wolverine stepped up and looked at the mid back length haired teen, "Nǐ shì lǐ huáng? (Are you Lee Wong?)"
"Yes, now how do you know my name?" The boy now named Lee asked. He turned to his friend, "Ray did you say my last name at any point?"
Ray gave him a look, "Lee, you are a Beyblader everyone knows your name."
"Your not fans are you?" Lee ask irritated, looking at the ages of some of the people.
"OMG he is Ray Kon.", Ice Man said, pointing at the longer haired male.
Lee snickered at Ray as he glared at him, "Zhùkǒu. (Shut up.) No I do not do autographs outside the booth."
Ice Man pouted as Storm said with a small smile, "I didn't realize you were a celebrity."
Lee burst out laughing and walked away as Ray said politely, "Thank you for not freaking out." Ray turned to his friend causing said friend to laugh harder when he said, "Ass." He turned to the strangers, "What do you need Lee for?"
"Is there someplace we can talk privately?" Storm asked, "It is about him healing as fast as he did."
"Ohhhhh, LEEEEEEEEEE wait up.", Ray ran up to his friend. "Tā shì guānyú yùhé. (It is about the healing.)"
Lee looked at them untrustingly and then back at Ray, "Rúguǒ tāmen zuò yīgè cuòwù de jǔdòng, wǒ huì líkāi. (If they make one wrong move I will leave.)"
"What is his problem?" Ice Man asked, Cyclops shrugged his shoulders.

They were all sitting in Ray's house as he made tea. Lee had refused to look at them as he thought to himself. When Ray walked in with the tea he sat next to Lee and hand everyone a cup. Storm was the first the speak up, "Lee." The teen looked at her from the corner of his eye, "Have you heard of mutants."
"They are all over the news." Lee committed, quite roodly I might add.
Ray elbowed him, "Yes, we have traveled so we have heard about mutants."
"We live in a place where there are many like you Lee," Lee rolled his eyes, only to get elbowed again. "You and your friends would be safe to learn your powers there."
"What do you mean my friends?" Lee asked, confused.
"You and your friends aren't human is what they are getting at." Wolverine stated plainly, with a chuckle. 'Gosh even I know what they are.'
Ray burst out laughing, "Of course we are not human, we are half cat. The pointed ears and fangs are what we are born with. I am not a mutant I can assure you no power of come out of me just Lee."
"Well what about the girl with the pink hair?" Ice Man asked.
"Leave my half sister out of this, she is not a mutant. She was just born with pink hair." Lee hissed out.
Wolverine felt chills go up his spine, "How about you explain to them what a half cat person is."
"Oh that is easy we are born with pointed ears, sharp incisors, retractable claws, fast reflexes, high senses, and sometimes gold eyes." Ray answered, "We are called Nekojin, or cat people."
"So we are to take you cat characteristics as who your people are?" Asked Storm.
Lee went to reply but Ray covered his mouth, "Yes, but keep in mind that not all of us are cat people. I swear to God if you lick me I will kick you ass." Ray said the last part to Lee who eyes were open wide. "I thought so."
Ray uncovered his friend's mouth and leaned back. Lee looked at his best friend and said, "Ray you are seriously scary are you aware of this."
"I am well aware of this how do you think I keep you in line." Ray said smirking at Lee.
Lee muttered 'ass' before looking at Storm, "How do I know you are not lying to me?"
"LEE!" Ray shouted.
"No child it is quite all right I will show you my powers, may I borrow your empty cup Ray?" Storm asked. Ray handed Storm his cup, she held her hand over it and it started to rain over the cup.
"That is so cool." Ray whispered.
Storm giggled, "Well I have to say we don't get a lot of that."
Ray smiled at her as Lee said, "Parlor tricks."
Wolverine smirked, "It looks like you need more proof." Lee's eyes widened as three claw came forth in the mans right fist.
"That is kind of like our claws." Ray said, excitedly. He showed them how his claws came forth and retracted.
"And I can freeze things." Ice Man said touching his cup and putting his tea on ice.
"OMG Lee you are so lucky to be like these people." Ray said excitedly.
Storm smiled and said to Ray, "You are just fine the way you are. Lee we have a school that people like us go to learn to control our powers, there is a place for you there if you would like to join us."
"Why would I need help healing?" Lee asked, an eyebrow raised.
Ray looked at him, "I think they were referring to your red electricity."
"RAY!" Lee yelled at his best friend. "Why would you tell them that?"
"You are joking right? You nearly hit me last time. At least with them you will be around people who could help you instead of fear you." Ray stated, no guilt crossing his face. Lee just stared and then turned away from his friend, "Yeah, I thought so."
"You know the elder won't let me leave right, that jerk is my grandfather." Lee said.
"So just tell him why you need to go with them, I bet he will understand." Ray said. The X-Men were shocked that his friend was trying so hard to get his friends away. "Tell him it is your way to see the world. I am sure he will want you to see the world. He encouraged me remember."
"Yeah that was after you left without permission the first time." Was Lee's snide remark, as he smirked at his friend.
Ray gave a playful glare causing Wolverine to chuckle, "I can tell you two are best friends."
"I was serious when I said my grandfather wont let me leave, I am 'supposed' to take over when he dies." Lee said, putting supposed in air quotations. "Rúguǒ wǒ yǒu wǒ de fāngshì, wǒ jiào yuánshuài yìshù. (If I had it my way I would teach marshal arts.)" The teen whispered to himself.
Ray looked sad as Wolverine asked, "Nǐ wèishéme bùnéng zhèyàng zuò ne? Shénme shì tā de wèizhì rúcǐ zhòngyào? (Why can't you do that instead? What is so important about his position?)" 'This place smells familiar I just can't remember why. Hell even that kid looks like someone I know but why?'
Ray looked at Wolverine, "Nà shì yīnwèi tā shì wéiyī de shēngcún nánxìng qīnshǔ zuǒ jūzhù. Tā shì tōngguò cóng jiātíng chéngyuán de jiātíng chéngyuán, zhídào yǒu méiyǒu gèng duō de nánxìng zé huì yǒuyī piào, yǐ zhè jiāng shì xià yīgè jiātíng jiēguǎn. (It is because he is the only living male relative left living. It is passed on from family member to family member until there is no more males then there will be a vote as to which will be the next family to take over.)"
"I see, well lets go talk to that elder." Wolverine said, as he and everyone else got up.
