25Chapter 1: The Beginning of Morphias
A black jet flew over to Africa as it heads down to a large city. The jet lowers itself down few yards from the city as two people came out of the jet.
One is a man with blue hair, black eyes, and wears a yellow and blue suit with stripes. Blue gloves and boots and an X symbol on his chest. He is called James "Logan" Howlett aka Wolverine.
Next to him is a girl of 19, with short white mohawk hair, white eyes, black skin, and wears a white full bodysuit with a cape connected to her arms. Her name is Ororo Munroe aka Storm.
They are confronted by an African man in black robing. Next to him is a little boy wearing a cloak.
"Are you the people our king called?" The man asked.
"Don't be modest, T'Challa." Wolverine said looking through the man's disguise "You know your dad trusts us when it comes to the work we do."
"Don't be so hard headed, Wolverine. We both have our hearts to guide us to the great path." T'Challa said walked towards them while the cloak boy follow.
"Wait, what do you mean "we"?" Storm said confused.
"My young apprentice, Garfield." T'Challa said put his hand on the cloak boy shoulder.
Wolverine and Storm looked at the boy, they see little green hair, his eyes are green, and his skin also green.
"H-Hi." The boy spoke shyly.
"I've never met a green runt before." Wolverine states, his narrowed eyes sort of scared the boy.
"He's the same age as Jean." Storm comments, crouching down to the boy's level "Hi there, I'm Ororo. What's your name?"
"G-Garfield." Garfield answered, looking not nervous when Storm gave him a warm smile.
"Me and Wolverine are from a gifted school for kids like you." Ororo states as she creates a mini tornado with her hands, which Garfield stares at awe.
"Wow." Garfield said quietly.
"We want young people who has a good heart like you, Garfield, so that we can have them join the gifted school and become an X-men." Storm said and make a rainbow from the storm.
"X-men?" Garfield asked, confused.
"It's a group of superheroes of helping our kind and saving people who need saving." Wolverine said while crossing his arms.
"You mean, I'm gonna go a place to be accept for who I am." Garfield asked with hope in his eyes.
"Yes, all of us want to be accepted of being who we are. So, do you accept our offer?" Storm asked.
"Sure, I accept!" Garfield said excitingly without hesitation.
"That was quick." Wolverine states, smiling at the boy's acceptance.
"Garfield's enthusiasm is something to get used to." T'Challa replied with a chuckle.
/
The X-Jet flew back towards to the Xavier Institute. Once it flew down to the base of the school Wolverine, Storm, and Garfield exit out of the jet to meet two people.
"Greetings, Garfield Logan." Spoke a bald man wearing a green sweater jacket, black shirt, pants, and is seen on a wheelchair. "My name is Charles Xavier, welcome to my school, the Xavier Institute for the Gifted."
"Hi." Garfield respond, as he looks at the professor and the redheaded girl next to him. She has green eyes, white skin, and wears a black and green bodysuit.
"And this is Jean Grey, she's also a student like you, Garfield." Charles states.
"Hello miss Jean, it's so nice to meet you!" Garfield said hugged her.
Which Garfield didn't know she was blushing hard, her heart pounding.
"It nice to meet you too." Jean said trying not to stutter her voice.
"Jean, would you help Garfield find his room?" Charles said as Garfield grabbed his bag.
"Of course, come on Garfield let me show you around." Jean said walking to Garfield new room.
"Okay, wait for me!" Garfield said follow Jean.
Storm, Wolverine, and Charles smiled at Garfield thinking he was already here.
"That runt is one good kid, can't believe he's her son." Wolverine said.
"I know it's hard, but she wants us to keep him safe and follow the right path." Storm replied, now thinking about the same thing.
"Garfield is still young, when he is older, he needs to know the truth." Charles said as he pulls out the letter.
To Garfield, from your mother.

10 Years Later.
It was a football game at Bayville High. The star player, Garfield Logan, pass the pall towards the touchdown. The crowd cheered for the boy with long golden locks, tanned skin, emerald eyes, and having a slim muscular build wearing his Football uniform with the number 7 on.
"Cheers for the Lucky Logan, who once again scored a touchdown for the Bayville Football Team!" spoke the announcer of the game.
"Great game, Logan." spoke on of his teammates.
"Thanks, guys." Garfield respond with a thumb up "But really, the real players are you guys. I just got the ball and score it for the team, nothing special." he said with a bashful look.
"Yeah, nothing special." spoke the blond jock, Duncan Matthews with a jealous tone.
"Garfield!" spoke the girl that Garfield turn his head towards. The teenage girl was around his age, with her long red hair, green eyes, white skin, and is tall and athletic. She wears a pale purple shirt with a V-neck and exposed naval, tan khaki pants and brown open toed sandals. She is seen holding a camera "Nice game."
"Thanks, is that for the yearbook?" Garfield asked her.
"No, just for a personal collection." Jean replied as she snaps a photo at Gar.
"Hey Jean, why don't you get a photo with the quarterback?" Duncan suggests in his flirty tone.
"Sorry, but I only have one film left with this camera." Jean lied, there was three films but she didn't want to waste them on Duncan. She finds him too cocky and arrogant, unlike Garfield who's sweet and kind to others.
"Great game, Gar." spoke a male that's considered Garfield's best friend. A tall, brown haired teenage boy with white skin, wearing red shades, blue shirt and khaki pants with sneakers. He is Scott Summers.
"Thanks Scott." Garfield replied as the two fist bump. Gar remembers first meeting Scott after the Professor took him in from life from the streets. Garfield then noticed Duncan and some of his friends about to gang up a pale skinned boy wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. "Uh-oh, Duncan and his gang are after Tolanski. It's guys like Duncan that's giving jocks a bad name."
"I'll take care of this, you and Jean can wait out at the car for me." Scott said as he passed Gar his keys.
"You sure you don't need backup?" Garfield asked him.
"I got this." Scott states as he thought 'And to see if Jean can try to confess to you yet.'
'I'll get you for this, Scott.' Jean said as she blushed, being alone with Garfield every time makes her stomach filled with butterflies. She has enough teasing from Scott, Ororo, and Wolverine.
As Scott deals with Duncan and his cronies, Garfield went to grab his helmet as Jean stands behind him "You did a good game today, Garfield." she said.
"Thanks, I've only been volunteering to play football since their other player is out sick." Garfield said with a shrug. Then suddenly he saw a red blast coming from under the bleachers as the red blast hit a gas tank causing an explosion. "Oh no, Scott!" he shouts as he and Jean ran towards to the bleachers.
/
Later, everything was covered up with Duncan's mind having to be wiped as everything was covered up as a gas leak. In the car, Charles saw Jean and Garfield helping Scott put his shades back on.
"Thanks for the help, guys." Scott told them.
"No problem, Scott." Gar said as he and Jean helps him to the car "What happened to that Tolanski guy?"
"I don't know, he just hops away after the explosion." Scott said while Jean rubs her temple.
"Don't know about you guys, but I'm getting a total migraine from all of the memory wipes to cover this up." Jean states.
As the three friends go to the car, they are watched by Todd Tolansky, a brown haired, pale skinned boy with green eyes, wears a red sweater shirt, blue ripped jeans and sneakers. He was crouching down, watching them leave as he sticks his tongue out to eat a fly.
/
"Everything's clear now professor." Ororo said as she drove off.
"Indeed, now let's go to the train station, because there is a new student coming for us." Charles said pull up his window.
/
Charles and Ororo are then seen at the train station, waiting for a certain student. Storm has trouble in seeing the student while Charles knows who he is.
Ororo saw a blond boy with bags. "Is that him?"
"No, there he is." Charles said pointing to him.
Ororo turns and saw him, his whole body is covered and has a hood covering his face. He has two bags with him, he spotted Charles and Ororo. He walks towards them.
"Kurt, it nice to meet you." Charles said.
/
Garfield and Scott prepares to head out for the night while Jean's still brushing her hair in the bathroom. Garfield keeps knocking on her door trying to get her out. Garfield's wearing a green t-shirt with white short sleeves, cargo jeans and white sneakers.
"Come on, Jean. Scott's going to prepare the car by now!" Garfield complained.
"Almost done!" Jean respond while still brushing her hair.
"Alright, I'll wait." Garfield said as he leans on the bathroom door, as it suddenly opens which made him fall, but luckily Jean uses her telepathy so he doesn't fall on top of her. "Thanks for the save, Jean."
"You know not to lean onto doors when people may or may not be inside." Jean scolds him.
"Hehe, right." Garfield chuckled as he is back on his feet. "Come on, Scott's waiting down the hall!"
"Okay Gar, a lady always take their time." Jean said, tap her finger on Garfield's chin.
They walked down stairs and about to go outside. "Professor, we're about to go now." Garfield said.
"Just the moment, you two come here and meet someone. Meet Kurt Wagner, he just arrived last night." Charles said.
Garfield and Jean came in and see Scott, Charles, and this Kurt. He's still cover form his cloth, as Garfield approaches Kurt.
"Nice to meet you Kurt, I'm Garfield and this is Jean." Garfield said, raising his hand as he tries to shake it, but Kurt just back away.
"Don't worry Kurt, we're all friends here and we like to greet you." Charles said
Kurt looks down, he takes out his right hand and shake Garfield's. Garfield, shaking it while look down and see he has blue skin and three fingers.
"Nice to meet you all." Kurt said little nervous.
"Anyway, Kurt I build this school for the gifted and I'll try to make students to control their powers and abilities, Right Garfield?" Charles asked.
"Yes Professor, we are all the same here, Kurt. Welcome to the school." Garfield said with a smile.
"What can you do?" Kurt asked, as Garfield shows him what he can do as he shifts his skin color into green, pointy ears, yellow eyes and green hair. "Whoa."
"Yeah, I'm a shape shifter. Been able to change into anything. Animals, mostly." Garfield said "Well, humanoid versions of animals, kind of like werewolves and stuff."
"Cool." Kurt said as he takes his hood off, revealing his blue skin, darker blue hair with bangs, pale yellow eyes, and fangs.
"What about you, Kurt. Do you have a special gift that brought you here?" Jean asked as Kurt demonstrates by disappearing in a flash of smoke. He then later appeared next to the fireplace.
"Maybe." Kurt replied with a smile.
"Whoa." Garfield, Scott, and Jean all said in awe.
"I'll be helping Kurt settled in, we'll talk more tonight." Charles told them as he hears Storm's voice through his telepathy.
'Professor, does he know-'
'No Ororo, he is unaware of it.' Charles respond through telepathy.
/
In the next morning, Todd Tolansky is sitting on a chair as he's waiting for the principal to call him. He is fidgeting around as he hears the principal call him.
"Tolansky!" she calls him out, making the pale boy to stand and head down to Principal's office. Principal Darkholmes is a slender woman with grown hair, white skin, black eyes, red lips. She wore large earrings, wears a gray suit, brown stockings and black heels.
The principle close the door while holding her nose. "Augh, let open a window to get some fresh air." She opens the window take a deep breath and let it all out. "There much better."
"Now, Todd, let's talk about your new friend Scott Summers." Principal Darkholmes said with an eyebrow raise.
"What about him? He's cool, if it wasn't for him I be beaten by those jocks, they will make my skull flat." Tolansky said while digging his ear.
"Yes well, Summers as you noticed has special powers, there are others like him, we need to know more, much more." the principle said, sounding a little dark.
"Look I don't wanna..." Tolansky was cut off by a yell.
"SIELNCE, YOU DO WAS TOLD, UNDERSTAND!?" the principle demands turn into a purple monster.
/
Meanwhile at Bayville High, Garfield and Scott were heading down to their lockers after they left class. They are then confronted by Todd who leaps in front of them.
"Yo Summers, Logan, what's up?" He asked while leaping on top of the lockers, luckily everyone has already left.
"Tolansky? What are you doing here?" Garfield asked, making sure no one was around.
"Nice jump." Scott said.
"Well I'm not as impressive as with those smokies of yours." Todd said as he shoots his tongue out to stick Scott's glasses, but his tongue is grabbed by Garfield's hand. "Ow wow, hey!"
"Considering that we both know what Scott's condition is, Tolansky, I think it's better to play it safe if you don't take off his shades." Garfield told him as he lets go of Todd's slimy tongue.
"Hey, hey! No need to go hostile on me, Logan!" Todd begs "I mean, all I wanted was a talk."
"What kind of talk you want Todd?" Asked Scott cross his arms.
"I want to talk about we common, we not like other people." Todd said jumped off the locker and landed on the ground.
"And you point is Frog Boy?" Garfield said.
"Just want to talk, boys." Todd said now jumped to the locker and holding on the edge. "Just want to get to know your both."
"We'll think about it." Scott said as him and Garfield grabbed their lunches, they walked off.
"Sure, both of you think about it, I got something else I can do." Todd said jumped off the locker, and jumped in the window.
Garfield look back to see he gone. "You thinking of what I'm thinking?"
"Yeah let's call the professor, and you need to clean your hand it stinks." Scott said.
Garfield smells his hand and his eyes pop out. "Augh, what the hell does that frog eat!?"
/
Later, Garfield calls the professor about Todd Tolansky, and even though the guy smells like something from a junk yard, the professor does have a point. He knew that they can't turn their backs on every mutant no matter how smarmy Tolansky is.
At night Todd Tolansky is seen hopping towards the gate of the school, wearing a silver shell-like hunchback armor, brown shoulder pads, green baggy jumpsuit underneath, white cuffs, and brown boots. He is seen jumping over the fence as when he hops towards the Institute a storm burst out of nowhere.
"Well, ain't this something." Toad said as he hops around as he spots someone.
Ororo now wearing a fullbody blue suit with big sleeves, white gloves and boots, long black cape attached to her sleeves, and golden X-belt, is seen shooting lightning at Toad as he hops down towards the school.
/
"So, how's the disguise changer doing for you, Kurt?" Garfield asked as he's walking with the new student.
"It makes me feel normal, but the professor told me that I am already normal just the way I am." Kurt replied. The blue mutant is now wearing a black bodysuit with a red V-shaped vest, red boots, and yellow gloves and belt. "Boy, I didn't think that there would be a storm going on."
"No, from what I've heard from the professor, Ms. Munroe's giving a certain intruder a warming welcome to the Institute." Garfield said as the door burst open showing Toad "And there's Tolansky."
"Whoa!" Toad burst to the door crashing into Kurt.
"Get off of me!" Kurt shouts as he kicks off of Toad.
"Whoa, what are you some kind of blue boy?" Toad said while the both of them face to face walked around and around.
Kurt glares at him until he smells him. "Name's Nightcrawler, and I at least don't smell like a trash can ready to be thrown out." He states while covering his nose because he doesn't want to smell him anymore.
"Why you little blue fur ball!" Toad said jump towards him.
Toad try to punch him, but Nightcrawler teleport which confused Toad whipping away the smoke.
"As you say in America, Menaw Menaw Menaw!" Nightcrawler said on a lightener.
Garfield just laugh at that part. "Nice one, Night!"
"Don't get over confident, Blue Elf!" Toad said.
Toad jumped on the lightener, which Nightcrawler teleports off it.
Now both Nightcrawler and Toad are jumping all over the place. Now they keep going through hallways. Ororo came through the window, Garfield came to her.
"I think this more like fighting each other than training." Garfield said.
"I think you are right, huh Charles?" Ororo said she turn to Charles came to them.
"Maybe we need to stop them." Charles said.
They follow to where Nightcrawler and Toad are. The two keeps a mess around the halls as Toad keeps trying to get the blue mutant. They both stopped once Charles calls them.
"Enough! The test is over for Mr. Tolansky." Charles spoke "Todd Tolansky, you have proven to be specially gifted with the x-gene. You are welcome to stay in this Institute if you so desire."
"That's great and all, but the only thing I desire is to kick the fuzzy blue boy's ass!" Toad declared as he jumps out to lash at Nightcrawler, but Garfield jumps in to kick him in the side making him crash into the wall.
"Enough!" Garfield growled, starring at Toad with narrowed eyes "The Professor says that it's over! If you're going to act like a brat who doesn't respect the Professor's wishes and attack the students over a petty fight, then you're not welcome here!"
"Oh yeah, Logan. What are you going to do about it?" Toad retorts, which makes Garfield smirk.
"I can take you down in 2 or 3 minutes, but I don't wanna wreck the place." Garfield said cross his arms.
"Yeah right, try me, Logan!" Toad said jumped towards him.
"Leave him alone!" Nightcrawler said tackle Toad and then teleport somewhere.
"Kurt! Professor, can you track them down?!" Garfield asked.
"Already on it Garfield." Charles said focus on his powers and now shocked of what they are. "They're in the Danger Room, I'm going to call for Scott and Jean!"
/
Due to Nightcrawler teleporting him and Toad into the Danger Room, it activated its automated defense system by shooting at them. Scott and Jean appeared to try and put a stop to this.
Scott, now wearing his Cyclops uniform, appears to be wearing yellow one red lens visors, wears a black bodysuit with a yellow X on his chest, yellow gloves and boots. On his shoulders are shoulder pads with X marks on. Jean is wearing her X-uniform which is fullbody black, green line across her chest to her crotch, and fingerless gloves.
Appearing next to her was Garfield who came in a hurry, now wearing his X-uniform that is all black with a green X on his chest, green elbow pads with spikes, green gloves, around his neck is a tribal necklace of white teeth, and has green boots with black claws.
"Cyclops, shoot down the weapons from Kurt! Marvel Girl, you take on the metal tentacles." Garfield orders.
"What about you?" Cyclops asked, seeing Gar's eyes turn green.
"I'm going to take care of the core." He said as he grew three times his size, as his whole body turns more animalistic as he's turned into a humanoid green tiger "I'll show Tolansky why around here I'm known as Morphias!" he said as he punches a giant robotic hand which explodes which prevents it from punching down Toad.
Toad make a big shocked face of seeing Logan just punch a giant metal hand.
"That's what happens if you battle me, Frog Boy." Morphias said while crack his knuckles.
"Forget this, I'm outta here!" Toad said jumping away going towards the exit.
The Morphias look and see Nightcrawler keeps dodging the lasers, Morphias jumps up in the sky and landed on the top. He punches though the machine, make it explode.
"Wow, you really powerful!" Nightcrawler said.
"Thanks, now let's get Toad!" Morphias said.
/
Toad crashed out of the window, stumbling on a table as he hits the ground.
"Man, forget this!" Toad shouts as he rubs his head when a shadow creeps over him.
"Going somewhere, bub?" spoke a gruff voice as Toad gulps in seeing the man's claws coming out of his knuckles. He was taller than him, wears a brown cowboy hat, jacket, wears a dark blue shirt, jeans and brown boots.
Toad didn't say anything as he backs away, but lucky for him the Professor calls out to the man "Logan, let him go!" he told his old friends "I think he's learned enough."
"Alright, Chuck." Logan said as he leaves Toad to escape from the Institute.
"It's good to see you again after a long time, James." Charles states as James "Logan" Howlett only smirks when he looks at the Professor.
"Yeah, so how are the kids, Chuck? Causing trouble again." He asked.
"Well no, but we do have a new student among us." Charles said as Logan groans. "Also, we may have to call Victor to repair the Danger Room, again."
Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Nightcrawler, and Morphias came out the building looking for Toad.
"Professor, is he gone?" Morphias asked.
"Yes, thanks to our visitor." Charles replied.
Morphias look at see his old mentor, he smiled. "Older Logan."
"Why if it isn't the runt." James said smile, now look, at Nightcrawler. "This must be new student."
"Yes sir, it's Nightcrawler." Nightcrawler said little sad.
"What's wrong?" Marvel Girl asked.
"I let the danger room destroyed and almost got you guys killed, maybe I'm not meant to be here." Nightcrawler said.
"Hey, it's not your fault, you try to protect me and the others. You just need to control your powers, just like us." Morphias said while rest agree. Cheering up Nightcrawler in the process.
"Yeah thanks everyone." Nightcrawler said.
"No problem, let's help fix the danger room." Morphias said.
Everyone went back to the building, helping to fix the damage.
/
"I can't believe this!" Principal Darkholme shouts in fury at Toad, who flinched at her yelling "You've actually went inside, but bring nothing!?"
"He-hey! Don't be blaming on me!" Toad replied nervously "I-It's that Logan boy fault! If he hadn't scared me off changing into some tiger monster-"
"Who?" Principal Darkholme demands coldly.
"L-Logan! Garfield Logan, the Lucky Logan, the school's Jack of all Stats?" Toad explained as Darkholme went silent "Eh you alright, Ms. Darkho-"
"Get out, or I'll make you." she orders him coldly as Toad hops out of the Principal's office leaving her alone.
The principal close door hard, when it close and clear, she starts to change into something else.
She was now blue skin, red hair, and yellow eyes. She was wearing a white hourglass suit, with a golden belt. Has on long white gloves, and long white heels.
She sat on the chair, put her head to her hands. A couple of tears dropping down on the floor.
"Garfield." Mystique said in sad voice.
"You know you could at least be nice to the frog, Mystique." Said a dark voice, causing Mystique to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"Magneto! Please that teen cause trouble and eats nothing but flies." Mystique states.
"Well just come back to HQ, after school." Magneto said.
"Fine." Mystique said.
Mystique grabbed something in her pocket, when she pulls it out she has a picture. Of younger self and a green baby boy.
