X-men: Evolution
Chapter #1: Foreign Exchange
It was a beautiful morning at Bayville High. Every student was in their classes; bored as can be. Kurt Wagner, Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde, and Scott Summers were all starring out the window or watching their homeroom teacher with bored expressions on their faces. Some students tried to stay awake while others stared at the clock on the wall, waiting for the bell to ring.
"Alright everyone. One quick announcement before we leave. Tomorrow we will be getting a new student. Strangely enough, they didn't give me a name or gender." Everyone gave her a weird look, but they stopped and gathered their things as the bell rang.
IN THE HALLWAY
As all the students walked through the halls to their lockers, they all talked about the mysterious new student they would be getting.
"Ohh, I hope it a boy." Kitty all but squealed. "A really cute boy with big pecks ands really smart." She began to space out as she leant on the lockers, a dreamy look taking over her face. "Or maybe a girl. They usually are more understanding at times and could probably take us having powers better than guys." Rouge blew the strip of hair in front of her face in great annoyance.
"Well, I hope it is a boy." Kurt put out. Scott shut his locker door and gave him a curious look from behind his glasses.
"Why?" he asked.
"Well, because a new guy means that we would have another player for basket ball. Which also means that I might not be picked last anymore." he replied slightly embarrassed. If not for his image inducer, you'd see that slight blush on his face.
"Oh, come on Kurt. You're not always picked last." Scott tried to reassure him and he placed his arm around his shoulder as they all walked home.
AT THE INSTITUTION
As all the student returned to the institute, they saw the Professor at the front door.
"Everyone, I'd like to announce that we will be receiving a new addition to the institution. They will be here in less than an hour. I would like for you all to greet them kindly." he spoke kindly.
"Professor, like, how many new kids are we getting?" Kitty asked.
"Just one." he replied. "Yet, strangely, I didn't get an age, gender, or name." He and the rest of the students pondered as they all got ready to welcome their new guest.
ONE HOUR LATER
All the Xavier Institution student gather around in the front doors, waiting for the new student to arrive. They were all eager to see them and most of the girls were whispering together; they believed it was a boy and started guessing what he looked like. A few of the guys were huddled together and imagining what they would look like if it was a girl.
Just then, they all heard the engine of a motorcycle and were shocked to see that it wasn't Logan. He was shocked as well. As it pulled up to the front of the house and parked, everyone's eyes seemed to bug out of their heads at the sight of their chest. She wore a pair of navy blue pants and matching midriff sweater that barely covered her. Her shoes were like flat pieces of fabric that were the same color with a gold boarder and easy to bend. Now, they weren't as shocked to see it was a girl as to see the size of her rack. Can you say milk for free?
As she got off her bike, she used once hand to pull off the helmet and the other to keep down the hat she wore under it. She placed her helmet on her bike as she looked in her backpack for something. They watched as she pulled out a glasses case and put on the glasses inside. Then, she threw her backpack over one shoulder, picked up her two very big, very heavy looking suite cases, placed them on her shoulder, and pulled out a piece of paper as she made her way towards the house.
As she reached the others, she looked up at everyone and dropped her bags and paper. Five gasps could be heard within the group. Kurt got over his shock a little faster than the others and slowly stepped forward towards the equally shocked girl.
"Diamond?" he whispered, his voice barely reaching her. "Is… is that you?" He stretched out a slow shaky hand forward. She backed away from him and turned around to run. "No! Wait!" He quickly teleported in front of her; making her both stop in shock and stare at him not with fear, but with happiness.
"Please." Kurt whispered. "Please, if you are Diamond, if you are my sister, please tell me. Let me know somehow." She just looked away as they all stood there in an uncomfortable silence. Slowly, Kurt walked towards her. He extended his hand towards her hat before slowly placing his hand on it. As he gently pulled it off, his and everyone else's breaths caught in their throats. As the hat fell from her head, they all stared at the furry, twitching appendixes on top of her head.
"Cat ears." someone whispered, not really paying attention to anything else but her (Diamond). As the words left his lips, a furry wolf tail appeared right above her butt.
"It… it really is you isn't it?" She said nothing. "Please, tell me. I need to know." His voice held a sort of desperate tone in it.
After another long silence, she finally opened her mouth, but not to speak.
Diamond: "Maybe it's the things I say,
Maybe I should think before I speak
But I thought that I knew enough
To know myself and do what's right for me
And these walls I'm building now
You used to bring them down
The tears I'm crying out
You used to wipe away."
She paused for a moment before continuing.
Diamond: "[Chorus:]
I thought you said it was easy,
listening to your heart
I thought you said I'd be ok
So why am I breaking apart?
Don't wanna be torn
Why is all this so confusing, complicating and consuming
Why did all this made me angry
I wanna go back to being happy
These tears I'm crying out
You used to wipe away
I thought you said it was easy,
listening to your heart
I thought you said I'd be ok
So why am I breaking apart?
Don't wanna be torn"
Once she had finished singing, she looked up to see Kurt in tears of both happiness and sorrow. Without a second thought, he through his arms around her shoulders and gave her a wet hug.
"Oh god! Diamond!! It-it really is you!" After what seemed like hours of tears, they all went inside; into the living room for a much needed discussion.
To be continued…
