A New God's life in Marvel

Chapter 35: A Visit to a School (3)

"Hey Jean, you should have waited for us, you know. I have never seen you run as fast as that, not even when that mutant dog chased you a couple of years ago." A girl who looked younger than Jean said as she came towards Rudeus with the other X-men.

"Wha-What are you talking about? Don't joke Kitty." Jean protested due to her shame.

Rudeus recognized who this kitty girl was, she was Katherine Pryde, or Shadow Cat, the girl with phasing powers. She looked a few years younger than Jean.

Rudeus especially noted her in his mind because she was one of the few people who could effectively counter his divine spirit perk. But that didn't mean he would try to antagonize her or something. In fact, Rudeus quite liked the bubbly energetic attitude of the young mutant.

"Oh and who are you six? I am Katherine Pryde but people normally call me Kitty here" Kitty tried to talk with Rudeus and the quintuplets after noticing them standing with Jean and Ororo as well.

"I am Rudeus Fireheart. I am here on a tour of this school as an admirer and potential long-time partner for its goals." Rudeus answered back.

The Stepford cuckoos also introduced themselves one by one. They didn't really like to talk much but still appeared friendly whenever they participated in conversations.

"Oh hi Rudeus, long time no see" Kurt Wagner greeted Rudeus after he noticed him. He had become quite the fan of the young god after their last meeting in Egypt.

"Wait, this is the Rudeus you guys were talking about, the supposed god who defeated the Egyptian blue weirdo? Wow, I guess they did not exaggerate at all. You are hotter than anybody I have ever seen." Kitty mumbled in a dazed manner.

"Stop saying stupid stuff, Kitty. You are embarrassing us." Kurt said as he almost blushed while Jean nodded like she completely agreed with him.

"Well thanks, I'll be taking that as a compliment." Rudeus smiled at the young mutants. He was having fun as his narcissistic side was being tickled here.

Very soon even Bobby and Scott joined them as well. Bobby blushed a little after noticing Rudeus while Scott just scowled.

"What are you doing here?" Scott enquired in a rude voice.

"Well, I am here to get these girls here to join the school as its students. They are all budding metahumans with telepathic powers. So I thought that they could study here while learning more about their power as well as making new friends at the same time." Rudeus ignored Scott's rude tone and just explained his reason for coming here to the rest of the X-men here.

"That's amazing. We will make sure that they will have fun here. Leave it to us. But what is a metahuman by the way?" Bobby replied this time to try to impress Rudeus. He still thought he had a chance to woo the young handsome god.

Rudeus was exhausted explaining the meaning of metahuman to everyone. He was almost regretting trying to change the term in his mind. But fortunately, Ororo came to his rescue and explained its meaning.

'That's why I need underlings, to do stuff like that.' Rudeus thought as he appreciated Ororo's help.

"Wow, that's amazing. You really care about ordinary metahumans like us, don't you? Even though you are a god, you are still trying to help metahumans to live better lives." Jean said in an impressed voice.

Rudeus didn't reply to anything at that and just smiled. He wasn't exactly doing everything for free, He had his own agenda in trying to help the mutants. He was actually trying to raise his own loyal subordinates/army by doing all this.

But he of course didn't try to correct her.

"It doesn't seem that special. Anybody can come up with a new name like Metahuman. I think mutant still sounds better." Scott tried to give his two cents which everyone just ignored.
