Chapter 45...Two Baldies

As everyone was relieved, suddenly Wolverine started sniffing something in the air.his body tensed as he took out his claws

"The boy is back, but someone else is with him...someone extremely dangerous."

As soon as he said that, a brunette girl came running in, she was known as Kitty Pryde.

"Professor! Scott is fighting the vigilante from New York."

Everyone quickly ran to the location, large explosions sounded on the grounds of the mansion as Cyclops tried to blast away Jack who was flying around in his Broom, The Ancient One was sitting on a bench to the side, watching the two fight each other constantly.

Jack was not able to defend against the beams of energy released by Scott using his Protego spells, he had several methods that could deal with the young hot-blooded mutant, but that would end In the young man getting hurt and he didn't want that.

"Stop this at once!" yelled Cedric from the sky

"Hah! I knew you were up to no good when you showed up this morning and now you have come back with someone. Tell me what you wanted to do or else!" - Cyclops yelled as he fired a few beams at Cedric who finally decided to beat the boy up, it felt like Cyclops had gone crazy.

Jack wondered if the boy was being controlled by Essex like in the comics or this was just him being hormonal.

Cedric summoned a jet of water that was avoided by Scott,

"Is that all you got!" barked Scott.

Cedric sent another jet stream at the young Scott, Scott was about to dodge when he felt his feet were stuck.

Scott looked down only to find his feet stuck in what looked like desert sand.

The blast hit the young boy who coughed the water out of his lungs.

The others had come out by now and had seen how the young Hero of New York had effortlessly dealt with the Mutant.

"Cooled up enough, or do you want me to freeze you?" Taunted Jack, who was also becoming angered at the little prick for trying to back last him.

Jack had teleported using a portal made by Ancient One, who unsurprisingly knew about the X-Mansion, as soon as they landed here, A red beam of destruction was about to hit him when the Ancient One summoned a shield and defended them, this knocked the living daylights out of Jack who was very relaxed and didn't think anyone would hurt him.

A bitter taste appeared in his mouth as he was repeating the same mistakes, he had vowed to never trust fricks like this again and yet he lowered his guard.

'Next project; make an enchanted armour for me ' - thought Jack as he glared at the downed cyclops, his wand ready to freeze the little critter any moment.

"Stop!"

Jack looked back and saw Ororo flying in the sky and looking at them. The Ancient One was nowhere in Jack's sight, she had slipped away during his fight.

Jack lowered his wand as Wolverine made his way over. He pulled up Cyclops and delivered a nice-sounding slap to his face that soothed the heart of Jack.

"WHAT!"

"SHUT UP!" - Yelled Wolverine as he picked up Cyclops and led him inside and Charles and the others came forward.

The Ancient One also appeared at this moment, which surprised everyone.

"You could have helped."

"Nah, it was fun watching you fly around like a fly." chucked the Ancient One, which annoyed Jack.

"Who is this woman, Young Hero?" asked Charles as he looked at someone who was equally beautiful(bald) as him.

"Her name is Ancient One, she is a master of mystic arts." - answered Jack.

"Mystic Arts? like you?" questioned Charles.

Beast and Ororo stood behind him, but we were equally curious.

"No, she is a master of mystic arts and the best among everyone, the strongest on Earth, the sorcerer supreme, and she used her school of magic, mine is called witchcraft and wizardry and I am not that strong." - answered Jack humbly.

Jack didn't want to be associated as an equal with someone who was able to shoulder the whole Earth on her shoulders, he had his hands full with just New York.

"Ah, Alright, but why is she here, if I may ask?"

"She is here to help Jean. Jean is a host to a supernatural universal force of life and rebirth, and she is the only one who will help without an ulterior motive." Jack answered Charles.

Although Jack was angry at Charles, he didn't want there to be a fight between him and Ancient One.

His first priority was helping his friend, who was currently burning up like the sun in the basement medbay of the X-Men.

"The what Now?!" - asked Beast

Jack quickly answered

"Anyways, we don't have much time, it's best if we be done with this soon, the longer we wait, the harder it will be to control.

"Control what exactly?, if you think you can do something to Jean, then you are sorely mistaken, besides your medicines, they worked, she is out of danger and will be fine," - said Beast.

He was a very jolly person, but was protective of his people, like everyone, they had all taught Jean for the past year and she has grown on them.

"Safe for how long?, I have examined her, another strenuous situation and she is going into hyperdrive, listen to me, I am getting her to Jean, she is the only one who can help."

Jack was becoming more impatient as time passed.

Things were about to escalate when Kitty pride ran outside towards the bickering group, everyone gave way as she called out the professor.

"Professor!, it's Jean, she is awake." she called out.

Jack was surprised, he didn't believe his potion would work so fast.

Jack and The Ancient One followed Beast, Ororo and the professor into the medbay where Jean was sitting with a confused expression on her face.

"Jean!"

"Professor! Ororo! Beast and...Mr. Magic"

"Call me Cedric, and this is the Ancient One" - answered Jack as he looked at Jean, Jean had grown considerable, she looked very beautiful at such an age.

The Ancient One analyzed Jean with her eyes, she then looked at Jack who had a smile on his face and smiled.

"Jean , you might remember me from before when I saved you from Magneto." said Jack , though in reality, he had escaped with Jean while Wolverine was beaten up by Magneto, if Wolverine were to hear what Jack just said, he would beat him up.

"Yeah! I am really thankful to you for what you did for me." answered Jean as she remembered that day , she couldn't help but blush as she remembered what happened to her, Jack was like a prince in a shining armor who came to save her.

"And here I thought you forgot about me." Jack was happy to talk with Jean, even if it was not in his original form.
