Hello this is my first Fan fic I hop you all like it and as always (unless your the writer for Marvel and if so...Say so your awesome!)The fire Demon has no actual ties with marvel comics and I do not own them.
Nicolette Ignem was running. Just running. Not for her life or anything, she was running because she liked to. That's it. Oh and because I'm a gymnast.
That's right my name is Nicolette, I'm like latin or something which is what I say when people ask about my last name. I'm currently training for a big meet coming up, its in texas and I got first in the qualifying round so I am pumped.
I had gotten my but out of bed this dreary cloudy overcast perfect morning to go on my ritualistic run.
Every moring I am up and running (literaly) by 5 am. It's a bad habit that I stay up to late aswell leading to an over intake of sugery fruits to send me bouncing off the walls.
I am also kind of a health nut. I'm a vegan but only by accendent. I don't eat breads or wheats and what I do eat is all veggies and fruits, sometimes chocolate and no-bake cookies but other than that...nada.
But my friends at the gym think its cool cause that way I don't have to deal with calorie counting or anything. One of my secret dreams is to eat a brownie. Just one if I can stop myself. I've been told they are chocolate heaven.
I jogged back up to the house i currently live in. I say currently because my parents flip houses. They love to see a run down house become a home so much that they have done it 23 times in there life. The good news? We always stay in the same place. Right around 121 roosevelt road, where my gym is.
"Dad...i smell peanut butter and bananas (A.N. yes i used the holla back girl song to spell that...i'm pathetic) Is breakfast ready?" sure enough as always my dad was waiting with a healthy delisous breakfast holding his death in a cup (coffee). "Dad your smelly drink is invading the delisous smell of bananas again." I scolded. "sorry kiddo, you wanted break fast, if you didn't i wouldn't need the coffee." I made a throwing up geusture.
He laughed ruffling my long shiny black hair. I scowled and ate my butter-nanas.
"Hey honey"my mom says soming to smooth out my black locks so identical to hers.
"Hey mom" I said as she walked over to the dreaded coffee pot.
"A high speed chase was stopped today by a band of muntants called the X-men in new york. The recent controversy in new york is wheather there is a mutant problem or a truly well justified group of crime fighting mutants."
My mom snorted unlady like "well i think most of the mutants are a problem. Sure there may be a few good ones but we shouldn't leave it to chance that they are really the good ones. There are so many evil ones out there. They are a problem breed, they should all be imprisoned." She sounded like she had given quite a bit of thought to that...
"Mom chill we are in Utah and they are in new york no reason to loose your head about it." I told her. She looked at my father. He just shook his head.
I finished my breakfast and put the paper plate in the trash. When I dropped it into the garbage the edges were singed on the plate. I picked it back up to look closer. It caught on fire. I quickly blew it out.
After a mild panic attack I looked my hands over. The fire hadn't hurt me. At all. I saw it lick at my skin and i couldn't even feel it.
Around my hands there wasn't so much a glow as there was an anti-glow. Instead of there being a bright light coming from them it was a dark air around them. Like a mirage on the street, it floated above and around my skin.
"I'm upstairs if you need me." I called to my parents and started up the stairs.
I sat on my bed thinking how easy it had been to decevie my parents. All i did was tell them i wasn't feeling well and they had left for church without me saying that god would forgive me.
The real reason was because i was afraid, what if i had gone with them and in the middle of church i accedently touched something for to long. The anti-glow hadn't gone away a good 3 hours later. I just was holding them together in a metal bowl i had gotten from the kithin.
I was clearly one of the things... the mutants. I didn't feel any different. I actually felt energized. Like i could do anything. Wierd huh?
Now all i had to do was figure out how to control the anti-glow...fire situation.
I nearly fell off my bed when the door bell rang. God was I always this jumpy? Must be new. I walked carefully downstairs avoiding touching anything. Mom and dad haven't even been gone 3 minutes and already they forgot something. I pulled the door open quickly stashing the bowl away.
I can honestly say that I couldn't have ever guessed a beautiful african woman with white hair and a tall brown haired boy with glasses were at my door.
"Hi can I help you?" I asked. They both smiled. "Well as funny as this sounds we want to help you Nicolette." I corected her "Just Nic. Miss..." "Orroro Monroe" "Miss Orroro, my parents aren't home right now, if your selling something they should be home in about an hour but I'm afraid I can't help you."
I froze with the next thing she said "Nic we know your gifts are frightening right now but we are here to help you. We are the X-men. Well two of them." I couldn't help it I snickered. Thinking of what I told my mother just this morning.
"Um thanks but I think I can tough it out here, I'll figure it out soon." Orroro sadly shook her head.
"It was nice to meet you then" she said sticking out her hand so I could shake it.
I cringed and backed up "I can't" I whispered she looked confused. I grabbed a piece of paper off the entry table and it started to smoke. It caught fire soon after and miss monroe and the boy looked forlorn.
"Child as an instructor in our school I can tell you that you will be well looked after and we will help put you in control of your wonderful gift. We have help so many like you. Give it a chance, our head master can make everything work out splendidly. Won't you meet him, if you don't wish to stay we can have you back within the hour."
I nodded finally admitting I did infact need help. And they could give it to me.
Miss monroe introduced the boy "This is one of our students Scott Summers. I never did catch you last name child."
"My name is Nicolette Umbra Ignem.'' I practically whispered. I was dreading visiting these infamous X-men. They may be here to help me but I was scared.
I started to go with them when I remembered to lock the door. I turned and ran right into Scott. "Uh, sorry" I looked over to Orroro "I need help to lock the front door." Scott said from behind me "I got it. where are the keys?" "in the nightstand thingy by the door." He went in
"Under the bowl? Shit!" He yelled.
ohh no he touched it. That bowl was almost red hot after three hours of constant heat.
"Miss Orroro I think he just burned himself!" she ran in past me and I followed her with out touching the door. Sure enough Scotts hand was blistering real fast. I ran to the kitchin and silently apologizing to my mom I got the first aid kit
"Here" I gave Orroro the burn cream and the gauze. She wrapped his hand and he was fine. I had picked up the bowl and put it in the sink, it actually put off steam.
After we locked up and every thing I finally saw it...
A FREAKING JET!
parked on my drive way!
"It's some perk ain't it" Scott said climbing on after me.
I walked into an office with Scott and Orroro beside me. They weren't either particularly tall but they both surpassed me by a few inches at least. I was the shortest in the room beside the man in the wheelchair, adding to the evergrowing fear in me.
A Large blue furry man was by the window but other than that there was no sign that these people were mutants. Another man by the book case was very intimidating and he clearly knew this because he tried to smile when I walked in. It was actually slightly reasureing. Then behind the desk was the bald headmaster miss Orroro called Professor X. He was in the wheelchair.
"Hello Nicolette, Nic. I am Proffesor Xaivier. This is my school for the gifted. Here try these on." he handed me a pair of gloves. i slipped them on and...they didn't burn. I smiled and looked up. "yes it is nice to not have to worry about what you touch is it not?" I nodded
"I was wondering if you would like to stay here with my and my students. we will teach you to understand and control your abilities."
Geeze girl not three seconds ago you were asking for something like this and now your saying NO? whats wrong with you you should at least go see it.
"Sure, I would love to."
