X-Men: Seeing Double
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, except for Katherine and Kevin, and any more to appear in future chapters. (Warning: This is a fairly short chapter. I already have the next one written, and I promise it will be longer than this one. Quite a bit longer than this one.)
Chapter One: Introductions
Scott and Storm were driving down a road, on a mission for the professor, when Storm spotted something up ahead. "Scott, what's that, up by that road sign?"
"I'm not sure, but it looks like a body."
Scott slowed the car down to a stop, and the pair got out. Storm walked over to the shape.
"It's a teenage girl! What's she doing here?"
Storm and Scott knelt down beside the young girl. She was covered in bruises and knife marks.
"This doesn't look like she did this herself. Should we take her to the mansion?"
Scott debated it, then looked at Storm.
"Mutant or not, this girl needs our help."
Scott picked the young girl up, and placed her gently in the back seat of his car. Storm slid in beside her. Scott started the car up, and turned toward the mansion. When Scott reached the mansion, he pulled the car into the garage, and got out. Storm followed him. Scott went to the back seat of the car, and took the teenager out. Scott and Storm made their way into the mansion. Once they got into the house itself, they bumped into Bobby.
"Bobby," Storm said, "go get the professor. Tell him to bring Jessica Bingham with him, and to meet us in the hospital room." She started to turn. "Oh, Bobby. Also, bring Logan with you."
"Yes Ma'am."
Bobby turned to go to the Professor's office while Scott and Storm made their way to the room that served as their hospital. They got there, and laid the teenager on one of the stretchers. The door soon opened, and Bobby walked in, followed by the Professor, Jessica, and Logan.
"Storm, Scott, what do we have here?"
"We're not sure. We were driving down the road when Storm spotted something on the side of the road. We stopped, and found this girl. We knew she needed help, even if she isn't a mutant," Scott responded.
"Well, Jessica, it looks as if your abilities will be needed. Logan, are you ready?"
"Yeah, Professor."
(Author's note: Jessica is a mutant, who has the ability to transfer someone's power to another for a short time. In this case, she's transferring Logan's ability to heal to the teen.)
Jessica took Logan's hand in one of hers, and took the girl's hand in the other. She then closed her eyes. Logan could feel her drawing out some of the power temporarily, so that the teenager would be healed. Jessica felt Logan's power surge through her, and into the young girl. She opened her eyes, and saw the bruises disappearing, and the knife marks healing up. Soon, the young girl's body was unblemished. She released Logan's hand as well as the girl's.
"Thank you Jessica. You may return to your room now."
Jessica turned and left the room. Bobby looked at the teenager.
"Who is she?" he inquired.
"I'm not sure. She'll be able to tell us though, once she awakes. Scott, I have some things I need to take care of. Will you and Storm stay here and notify me when she regains consciousness, or if anything else happens?" the Professor asked.
"Sure."
"Thank you. Logan, Bobby, I may require your assistance."
The Professor and Bobby left the room. Storm turned to Scott.
"Who do you think she is? I can't tell if she's a mutant or not. But, whoever she is, she didn't deserve to go through what she did."
"I'm not sure I have the answers either. I want to know about her also."
Storm looked at the form of the teenager, and her heart was filled with pity.
"I just wish we knew who did this to her. She is such a nice-looking teenager. Nobody deserves to be beaten, scarred, injured in the way that she has."
"I want to know about her just as you do."
Just then, the young teen started tossing on the stretcher. It looked as if she were having a seizure. Her body was twisting, and it looked as if an invisible force was hitting her.
