Marvel-ous Ninjutsu

Charles Xavier was seated behind a desk in his private office as he used his computer. As he looked over the grades of his current students, his computer started to slow down, until it was completely frozen. Before he could do anything else, his frozen screen seemed to melt away and the face of a man appeared on it. The man smiled before he said, "I apologize for interrupting you, but I wished to talk and I didn't think showing up at your school unannounced would work out too well."

Xavier nodded his head and responded, "Making an appointment is always best practice, Mister?"

"Ezekiel, just Ezekiel is fine."

Xavier smiled as he telepathically sent a message, "Hank, someone has bypassed our security and is currently talking to me on my computer. Trace them please."

"So Ezekiel, you obviously contacted me for a reason. What can I help you with?"

Ezekiel laughed for a moment before he said, "A few things actually, but the first would be setting up a meeting with Max Eisenhardt, better known as Erik Lehnsherr or Magneto. I would like you to be there of course, since it involves you and the future of meta-humans."

Xavier showed nothing on his face, but inwardly his mind was in overdrive. He set another telepathic message, "Hank, make sure you find out who this person is."

"I am not sure why you think I would be able to contact a terrorist, but I believe you are mistaken. While I did have a friendship with the man at one point, it was decades ago and we haven't been in contact since."

Ezekiel smiled before he said, "While most people in the world would believe that, I know that you could easily contact him at any time. As long as he doesn't have his helmet on that blocks out your telepathy. Then again you could easily contact Raven and have her relay the message for you."

Xavier smiled at that, but didn't show anything else on his face as he said, "I am not sure what you are talking about, I am not a telepath. While I have studied mutants and written many papers about them, I myself am not a mutant."

"Look, I don't want to waste your time or mine. I know you are one of the world's strongest telepath's and that you run a school for mutant children. I also know your teachers are mutants and you even have a team put together that goes out to help mutants in trouble."

Xavier was quiet for a few moments before he asked, "Who are you?"

Ezekiel smirked and said, "Someone who has seen the future of this world and many of the possible ways it could turn out."

Ezekiel stopped smiling and said, "I want to help you and Erik with your dream for a better world. But I know that anytime the both of you don't work together, it ends badly. Sometimes it destroys the whole world in the process."

Xavier was quiet for a while, partly because he wanted to give Hank time to trace the hackers location. Xavier looked at Ezekiel and asked, "I can reach out, but I make no guarantees about if he will even meet you."

"Tell him that if he agrees to meet me, I can possibly help him increase his power over magnetism."

Xavier nodded before he asked, "What else did you contact me for?"

"I wanted to chat with Logan, I have some info for him he would like to know."

Xavier took a few moments before he asked, "What kind of info is it?"

"Well his real name for starters."

A picture appeared on the computer screen, it was Captain America with the Howling Commandos. On the Captain's right side was Bucky and on his left with an arm over his shoulder was Logan with a cigar in his mouth. Xavier stared at the photo for a while before he asked, "Is that one of Logan's relatives? His father perhaps?"

"No, that is Logan. He has been alive for a long time. Here, look at this."

Another photo appeared, this one was even older from the First World War. In it was Logan with some other men, they were all dressed up in dress uniforms from Canada. Logan was standing off to one side holding a cigar in his right hand. Xavier finally sent a message to Logan, “Logan, could you join me in my office please?”

Xavier let out a sigh and said, “I called him, he should be here soon.”

Ezekiel's face appeared back on the screen as he said, "Thank you."

Xavier nodded his head as he said, "No, I should thank you, one of the reasons he came here was to find out who he is. I thought I could help him recover his memories, but nothing I have done has helped."

"Your methods might work if he didn’t have a bullet lodged in his brain. He also had a bunch of memory wipes and brainwashing done to him, which didn't help either. I also have a theory that his brain heals over bad memories, which causes him to forget anything bad that has happened to him. That is mostly a theory though, but it is a good possibility with how his power works."

Xavier frowned at that and asked, "How could he have a bullet in his brain? His entire skeleton is coated in adamantium and who was brainwashing him and wiping his memories?"

"Adamantium bullet from a very powerful gun."

Xavier looked towards the door and said, "Please come in, Logan."

The door opened and in walked a short man, wearing a wife beater, some jeans and cowboy boots. In one hand was a beer and in his other hand was a cigar that he pulled away from his mouth as he said, "What did you need, Professor?"

Xavier smiled and gestured to his computer screen as he responded, "Logan, come over here and meet Ezekiel. He has something he wants to talk with you about."

Logan walked around the desk and looked at the computer screen for a moment before he said, "What do you want, bub?"

Ezekiel smiled widely as he said, "Like I told Xavier, I would like to help you."

The two pictures appeared on the screen and Ezekiel said, "Your real name is James Howlett, better known as Logan or Wolverine. I would like to help you regain your memories and some other issues."

Logan was quiet for a while before he glanced at Xavier, who had sent him a message, "I know nothing about this man, he just contacted me today and knows things about us he shouldn't know. He also wants me to contact Magneto for him, so he can talk with him."

Logan's hand clenched slightly around his beer, but otherwise he made no other outward reaction. He removed the cigar from his mouth and said, "Let me think about it. How can I get into contact with you?"

Ezekiel smiled again and said, "Just let me know when we meet in person."

"What makes you think that is gonna happen, bub?"

"Because when I have my meeting with Magneto, I want Xavier there. You won't let him come alone, just like Magneto won't show up without Mystique with him."

Logan was about to say something when Xavier said, "Maybe, it depends on what Erik decides. Where would this meeting take place?"

"You and Magneto can decide, I just need a time and place."

Xavier nodded his head and said, "That will make it a lot easier for him to agree to meeting you."

"Good, that is what I was hoping for. Well it has been a pleasure gentlemen. Xavier, when you have a time and place just email me."

Xavier laughed as he said, "You would have to give it to me first."

Ezekiel smiled and said, "It's already in your contacts, just look for the one that starts with, Ezekiel_Is_The_Third_Best. Have a good day."

Xavier just nodded his head as Logan looked at Xavier a little confused. The screen blacked out for a second, before it went back to normal. Xavier looked up at Logan and said, "I am not even going to ask."

Xavier contacted Hank and asked, "Was that long enough for you to trace his location, Hank?"

"Sorry Professor, I ran into a problem and wasn't able to get a location. Actually you better come down here and look at what happened."

Xavier frowned as he responded, "Me and Logan are on the way."

Xavier looked up at Logan and said, "Could you take me down to Hank's lab? Something happened when he was trying to trace Ezekiel's location."

Logan grunted in response before he drank the rest of his beer and set the empty bottle on the professor's desk. As he went to grab the professor's wheelchair, Xavier let out a sigh and asked, "Could you please not leave your empty beer bottles laying around?"

Logan grunted again before he took the bottle and dropped it into the trash bin next to the desk and asked, "Happy?"

"It would have been better if that was put in the recycling."

Logan said nothing as he started to push Xavier out of the room and into the hallway. It wasn't long before they were under the mansion and in front of Hank's lab. As the door opened, they were greeted with, "Ah ah ah, You didn't say the magic word. Ah ah ah, You didn't say the magic word. Ah ah ah, You didn't say the magic word."

On all the screens around the room was a chibi picture of Ezekiel, with one hand raised up waving its index finger back and forth. Xavier and Logan stopped after they entered the room and looked around for a few moments. Hank was on a laptop that seemed to be working, as he was furiously typing away on the keyboard. Xavier spoke up over the background sound and asked, "Hank, what the hell happened?"

Hank didn't look up, but kept typing as he said, "When I went to trace the hackers incoming signal, this happened. I wasn't able to get anywhere at all and now I am trying to fix whatever it did to the system."

Xavier nodded as he said, "Looks like Ezekiel's skills are even better than I thought."

Logan looked around the room before he asked, "Did you try saying 'please'?"

Hank scuffed and replied, "People with this level of skill are not going to do something like this and make the answer as simple as saying 'please'."

Everything stopped and all the chibi figures looked towards Hank and said, "I wouldn't be so sure about that."

Hank had his mouth hanging open as he stared at the screens around him. They all blinked out and went back to normal as Logan smirked as he said, "You overthink things too much Hank."

Logan looked down at Xavier and said, "I am gonna head back upstairs and drink some more. Unless you need me for anything else?"

Xavier shook his head and said, "No, I will be fine. Thank you, Logan."

After Logan left, Xavier glanced at Hank and said, "Hank, can you help me with Cerebro? I need to contact Raven with it."

Hank nodded slowly as he said, "Sure I can do that Professor."

Ezekiel smiled as he looked up from his computer, he looked at the other clones next to him and smiled a little wider watching them all reading grade school books. They had all decided to read the same books so when they dispel, Theo would have the same info from ten different perspectives. While just reading it once he would remember it perfectly because the way his mindscape works. But he thought it might make him understand more advanced concepts if he did it this way. His guests also agreed with him, so they picked some of the prodigies of the ninja world to help with the process of learning.

Ezekiel looked back at his computer and opened up the new software he was working on. He took one more glance around the room, before he began to work on his project.
