Summary: When brothers Gilbert and Ludwig realize that they are mutants they are accepted to the new school of Alvar Xavier and into a new world that divides the both of them.
“Concentrate Ludwig.” Gilbert encouraged.
Ludwig kept the fingers on his left hand gently at his temple while the fingers of his right hand were on the side of Gilberts head. Brothers were staring at one another straight in the eyes.
Ludwig’s eyes narrowed as he pushed his sense forward and into Gilberts mind. Neither one blinked as Gilbert felt the now familiar sense of Ludwig’s mind wrapped with his own.
Ludwig continued forward into his brother’s mind. He pulled up a memory that made the both of them smile, one of them and their mother. He buried himself deeper into a different part.
There was slight panic from Gilberts mind as Ludwig continued to do something different, as it always reacted, however there was also the sense of trust that overwhelmed the fear.
Brothers gave deep breaths and closed their eyes as Ludwig pulled his mind back. Once their eyes closed the connection had been broken.
“Better.” Gilbert grinned leaning back onto his palms. “Much better.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time slowly passed. Both Ludwig and Gilbert helped one another with their pitiful attempts to have some sort of control over their new powers.
Gilbert was able to hold control over his regular pale skinned form longer with more practice. Occasionally he had to relax and revert back to his blue form however those times were becoming less and less.
Ludwig learned to ignore the minds around him and only answer them if he saw their mouths move. His other power however refused to be under his control.
It took some time to realize that his second power, the telekinesis, was linked more to his emotions. Most of all the emotion of anger.
Whenever he was angry and based on how angry he was the telekinesis was brought out of his control and went out of control. Besides those times he was never able to use those powers.
When his uncle and his partner had returned to their house Gilbert was able to keep control on his image for hours, even in his sleep. And as long as nothing angered him too much Ludwig was able to control his own.
They were able to keep their secrets to one another and only one another.
All that changed however one day when two gentlemen arrived on their front door.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Gilbert! Ludwig! Can you two please come down here?” Roderichs voice called up the stairs.
The brothers looked up from their books, both started slightly. Their eyes connected for a moment before standing and walking to the door.
Ludwig has his hand on the doorknob and glanced behind him where his brother had turned himself to look normal once more. He unlocked the door and they walked down the stairs.
Sitting in the living room were two men. Both seemed to be in their thirties, were wearing suits, and were muscled. One man had tan skin and light brown eyes while the other could have been a vision of what Ludwig would be as an adult only with long hair.
“Is there something wrong?” Ludwig asked.
“There is nothing wrong.” the one with brown hair said. “My name is Romulus and this is Alvar. We wanted to talk with you boys about a scholarship to our school.”
Gilbert and Ludwig’s eyes connected for a moment. Gilbert tilted his head to the side slightly. To others it might seem as if he was tilting his head in confusion.
To Ludwig however it was a sign that he should read his brothers current thoughts.
“Try to read their minds. Maybe you’ll get something.”
“What exactly do you mean scholarships?” Ludwig asked casually sitting on the couch opposite the men. Gilbert sat to his side. “We are both only freshmen in high school; we haven’t really done anything to have gotten the attention of stuff like that.”
It was still a strange feeling for him, to push his mind out of its own protective barrier and in that single moment leave himself vulnerable. Nevertheless curiosity and his brothers encouraging thoughts overcame his fear and he tried to enter the blonde man’s mind.
Alvar turned his gaze onto Ludwig and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as if he was amused.
“You do realize that it is very rude to try to read someone’s mind without their permission correct?”
Ludwig blinked in surprise before his eyes narrowed slightly.
“And how exactly did you know what I was trying to do?”
“Ludwig. Did you and your brother believe yourselves to be the only ones of your kind?”
He was suddenly and forcefully pushed out of Alvars mind. Back into his own protective barrier Ludwig felt his hands tremble slightly and sighed lightly.
“Are you alright Ludwig?” Vash asked.
Ludwig nodded slowly. “Yes, I am fine.”
He ignored his brothers questioning gaze as he stood and bowed slightly to the men. “Thank you for your offer however my brother and I must decline.”
He motioned with his head towards his brother who automatically stood and followed his brother out of the living room.
“May we ask why?” Romulus asked.
“We are quite happy where we are.” Ludwig said. “We have no desire to change schools.”
“Why are you so afraid of getting to know this side of you deeper?” Alvars voice was clear in his mind causing Ludwig to freeze. He was sure that he had put up his own barriers.
“You did. However it will take many years for them to be strong enough to keep someone like me out. I have experience and talent, both of which that you and your brother lack. Which can be taught to you at the school.”
Ludwig felt his fist tighten; his nails broke the skin of his palm causing him to start bleeding slightly.
“Ludwig, Ludwig, Ludwig!” his brother’s mind screamed out to him. The familiar mind that he knew as well as his own. “Calm down!”
Ludwig forced himself to take a deep breath and unclenched his fist.
“What. The. Fuck.” Vashs voice came from behind.
Ludwig and Gilbert turned and felt their eyes widen. The table sitting in the middle of the living room was floating a good three feet off the ground.
Roderichs eyes fell onto Alvar and Romulus. “You are doing this!”
Alvar shook his head. “Your nephew Ludwig is actually.”
Roderich and Vash stood and stared at Ludwig and Gilbert.
“Do…do either one of you want to explain this?” Roderich asked, his hands trembling.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“So…you are both…mutants.” Roderich said slowly.
Vash broke his glass that was filled with a bottle that anyone in the house had been forbidden to touch.
Roderich turned his gaze to where Alvar and Romulus were sitting. “And what exactly do you two now want?”
“Our school is one for young mutants.” Romulus explained. “We teach them to control their powers while still learning everything they need to know while being around people like them.”
“And what are your powers?”
“I have the power to control the metal in objects.” Romulus said pointing to himself. “Alvar has the power of telepathy.”
Roderich turned to Ludwig and Gilbert who were sitting in their seats hunched over slightly. “And what about you two?”
“Telepathy.” Ludwig said quietly. “And I think I can move objects with my mind.”
“Telekinetic.” Roderich said before turning to Gilbert. “And you?”
Gilbert remained silent and didn’t look up.
“Gilbert, I wish to know what it is that you can do.” Roderich said patiently.
Gilbert sighed slightly. His skin rippled and when he looked up an exact copy of Roderich was looking up at him.
“I can imitate anyone’s looks.” when he spoke his voice was exactly as Roderichs.
Roderichs hands were trembling slightly. “Well then. I guess there isn’t that much that we can do here now is there?”
He turned to Romulus and Alvar.
“Please return tomorrow.” Roderich said. “My husband and I wish to speak with them.”
“Of course.” Alvar said. Both men stood and followed Vash as they left.
Once the door closed Roderich took a deep breath.
“This…is something I never believed we would have to deal with.” he said.
