Gundam Wing/Xmen crossover "Zero X" Part 3
Title: Zero X part 3
Pairing: 1x2 and 3x4 (only hints here)
Warnings: AU, X-men cross over. This fic is unbeta'd. Terrible interpretation of a Cajun accent.
Rating: PG (for now at least)
AN: I've mixed and matched parts from different X-men universes (there are so many, I can never keep them straight anyway), sorry if this offends anyone. only basic knowledge of the X-men is needed to understand the story.
Previous parts are archived here. Next part is here
Beast, Wolverine and Gambit had after considerable discussion decided to offer the use of the danger room to the new arrivals, partly because the sparring session Wufei Chang and Heero Yuy had engaged in on the front lawn was disrupting classes and partly out of curiosity. Wolverine had been particularly insistent about determining their powers and training, some of the moves they had made during their sparring session had put
It was late that night before the three X-men came together to discuss the workout in the danger room and Logan was a ball of tension as he sat with Gambit and Beast “I swear I know that Yuy kid, I just can’t quite remember.”
Beast rested his chin on his hand “Hmmm… Well my friend sometimes finding the correct associations can unlock forgotten memories, in what context is the feeling of familiarisation most keen?”
“His fighting, his expression, his movements even his tactics all feel like I know him.”
“The Professor say he thought they were soldiers mon ami.”
“Last time I was around soldiers Remy was ten years ago with Weapon X, the kid couldn’t be more than seven then. There’s not much those bastards wouldn’t do, but they didn’t use children as soldiers.”
“It is indeed a puzzle and you have no recollections of any of the other boys?” Beast asked
“No, though I’d swear they’d all been military trained. I’d say that Chang kid has been trained in Martial Arts and then retrained for military combat, a lot of his moves look like Katas. Barton’s like Yuy a soldier through and through, though I’d say they were taught by different groups. Don’t know what to make of Maxwell or Winner.”
“Ah, Maxwell he’s a thief like me mon ami. His hands, they are faster than the eye.” Gambit grinned shuffling cards as he always did when he was thinking “What you think of their powers?”
“Can’t figure that out either, the Professor was saying that the Yuy kid was some sort of psionic but I’ve never known a psionic that could punch that hard, if my bones could have broke they would have.”
“Indeed the mysterious Mr. Yuy has many secrets I think. There is more than one aspect to many of our mutations but I have never heard of a psionic with enhanced physical strength. I enjoyed sparring with the young Mr. Barton he has a most unusual grace and agility that I am sure must be a part of his mutation.”
“I couldn’t figure that Chang kid out at all, far as I could see he was all martial arts, he didn’t seem to use any sort of mutant powers when sparring.” Wolverine took a long drink before shrugging.
“It is indeed intriguing but now the hour draws late and so I shall retire I would suggest that you follow my example. Such things may seem less confusing in the cold light of day.”
Trowa sat out the early hours of the morning by Quatre’s bedside watching over his injured friend, Duo had come down again earlier to offer to keep watch whilst he slept but Trowa had waved him off and kept his silent vigil. He stiffened at the sounds of footsteps relaxing minutely as he recognised the weight and rhythm.
“Get some rest Barton I will wake you in a few hours.”
Trowa nodded no one, except Duo, argued with that tone he threw himself onto an available bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
Heero moved round to the bed pitching his voice softly “Quatre?”
Quatre stirred grimacing in pain as he moved without thinking before settling back on the bed “Heero?”
“You told Duo.”
“Only what he needed to know.”
“Fair enough, you told Trowa it wasn’t over, is there anything else I need to know.”
“Did you really expect that to be the end Heero? Just… Heero we have to stay here for now, we have to protect these people.”
Heero raised his eyebrows “They seem to protect themselves well from anti-mutant or anti-human fanatics.”
“They do or rather they did, everything changes now Heero we did what we had to but we opened Pandora’s box and we’re going to need help to close it. Don’t let any of these people die Heero we are going to need them.”
Duo had not been surprised to find he and Wufei the only occupants of the room when he woke up, he sighed slightly before calling to wake his friend. “Hey ‘Fei wakey wakey rise and shine.”
Wufei scowled at the irreverent greeting “I’m awake Maxwell.”
“You know, you are the only person I know who can give my name a facial expression, I can tell the exact scowl on your face just from hearing it. Let’s go down and get some food man, the Prof said it was a big free for all from 8 till 9, if we don’t hurry all the good stuff will have gone.”
Wufei followed Duo out of the door “You really have to stop thinking with your stomach Duo,”
“Hey man you try having metabolism like mine, you’d be thinking about food all the time too.”
Wufei stopped in momentary surprise as he entered the dining room before smiling and making his way over to his three friends.
Duo had grinned and shouted when he saw Quatre throwing his arms round his friend “Hey man, you’re up.”
Trowa growled faintly behind him reminding Duo to loosen his grip “Easy Tro’ I ain’t hurting him.” He winked at Quatre “Overprotective isn’t he.”
“It is good to see you awake Quatre. Does this mean we will be leaving here soon?”
“Thank you Wufei, it is good to see you too. No we’ll be staying for a bit actually, Heero’s sorted out paperwork granting the Professor temporary, emergency, guardianship over each of us.” Quatre returned to his breakfast looking up again into the faces of the surprised Wufei and Duo “You really should both eat something you know, especially you Duo you have to be careful of your blood sugar levels.”
“Quat’ man you can’t just drop a bombshell like that on us and expect us to go eat breakfast.”
“You are already eating Duo,” Wufei pointed out as Duo stuffed a croissant into his mouth, he shrugged taking another bite “He is correct though Quatre do you not think you should explain?”
“There’s nothing to explain Wufei, we need somewhere to stay and here we are in a mutant friendly school it seems a good place to stay.”
Wufei scowled at the evasion looking at Trowa who merely shrugged that he didn’t know either. He turned to Heero who just stared at him blankly before returning his attention to his food. Wufei threw his hands up in exasperation “Fine, someone pass me a bowl.”

interesting take on this, sounds very in character!

Thanks I'm trying to keep them in character and write an AU that draws on canon. (Oh wow that sounded all pretentious).
