Ok, disclaimer time. X-Men: Evolution doesn't belong to me. Ok?
Does that work? The only people in here I own are Leila and Quinn -
they're mine, ya hear?!

"Wha' the-!" Rogue exclaimed as her monitor went fuzzy and her computer shut down. "Tha's the second time it's done tha'!" In frustration she kicked the wall and was about to continue complaining very loudly when the doorbell rang. Rogue blinked, then jumped up to answer it. "Ah got it!"
Other students had the same idea as well, for several others raced Rogue to the foyer before Logan shooed them away. He cautiously opened the door and looked outside. "Yes?"
A tall girl stood there with a small bag. "Hey, I'm Leila," she said casually and tucked a stray strand of hair behind an ear - a strangely pointy ear. Two metal pieces lay under her eyes, a transparent green, with glinting silver stones in them. They reflected the sun and lightened her eyes.
Rogue couldn't help but stare. She rubbed her eyes more than once. Was the girl's skin tinted slightly. . .green? She shuddered and looked at the others who had gathered by the door, but no one else seemed to notice. Rogue thought she should be used to other mutants by now, but she guessed that she just hadn't gotten a feel for the more *colorful* ones. //But what about Kurt? He turns blue sometimes!// part of her argued. Her other half retorted, //Yeah, *sometimes*, not always.//
"I'm here to see a Mr. Charles Xavier. . .?" Leila glanced down at the back of her hand where she had written the address and name of the institution.
"Do you have an appointment?" Logan asked gruffly. He wasn't about to let just *anyone* into the school - what if they weren't the mutant they said they were? Or what if they were one of Mystique's spies?
"No," Leila replied just as seriously. "This isn't exactly known to be a 'mutant hang-out' so it's not advertised. Do you want a resumé or something?"
Logan continued to frown, but let her inside and closed the door behind him after he was certain there was no one else out there. No sooner had he turned around than the doorbell rang again. With an annoyed groan, he opened the door and glared at the other girl standing outside. She was the opposite of Leila; she was a bit smaller, had normal skin color and ears, had no piercings or anything (that Logan could see at least) and seemed to be a normal person.
"Yes?" he growled. "Are you here to see the Professor, too?"
The girl blinked. "Yeah, how'd you know?"
"Let's just say you're not the first one here today."
He took them inside and led them to Xavier's study. After awhile he noticed the other teen mutants following him, and scowled at them. "Don't you have something better to do?" They all scurried back to their rooms.
Logan knocked on Charles's door. "Professor," he said, "there's two visitors here to see you."
"Let them in," the voice came through the door.
Not looking overjoyed, Logan opened the door for the two girls and closed it behind them, staying at his position outside the room.
Professor Xavier sat gazing out of his large window. He faced away from the girls and the door, yet said, "Ah, Leila, you're here. Welcome. And - . . ." He frowned and now turned around to see them. "Who is the second young lady here?"
The girl blushed. "I'm Quinn," she said, and added, "Sir."
Leila glared at the Professor. "Don't play games with me. You sound like you expected me! How-!"
"I. . .slightly tapped your mind," Xavier explained. "But you," He looked at Quinn. "You, I couldn't get through to find out about you. . . You have a very intriguing mental block on me, did you do that?"
Quinn blinked. "Oh, no sir, I didn't do it! I - I had no idea, I'm so sorry!" she gushed apologetically.
Xavier shook his head, still frowning thoughtfully. "No, it's perfectly alright, just. . .unexpected. . ." He rubbed his eyes, then looked up again. "So," he said, "why are you here and what are your special talents? And. . .what some people around here call your 'real names'?"
Leila looked at him suspiciously. "I can hack any kind of technology or travel through it."
"Virus," Xavier said before Leila could continue. She was not pleased.
"I found your 'school' while I was in the computer," she said. "I thought it would probably be better for me here. A safe haven from all those tech freaks who'd want to use me for a Firewall or something." She cringed.
Xavier turned to Quinn. "Your turn," he said, not unkindly.
"Well," she said shyly. "I don't know anything about this 'name' thing or whatever, or the limitations on my talents, but I became oddly perceptive about everything a couple months ago. I thought it was just because I was paying more attention in school," She looked at him sheepishly, "But when things started shrinking, I knew I was in pretty big trouble. I mean, if five dollars go missing, it's no big deal, but it's kind of hard to miss the family dog." She blushed.
The professor chuckled and smiled at her. "You are Raven."
Quinn gave him a blank look, then shrugged. "If you say so," she said resignedly. "I really have no clue about any of this. It's all new to me."
A mischievous twinkle appeared in Xavier's eyes when he said, "Oh, you'll find out soon enough."
Leila gave him a curious look, but gave up upon realizing that none of her questions would be answered anyway.
"I'm sure someone will show you to your new rooms now and you'll get to know your roommates a bit better."
"Roommates?" Leila and Quinn exclaimed simultaneously; however, Leila's was in horror while Quinn's was a squeal of excitement.
"Yes, roommates," Charles repeated himself. "I'll see you two bright and early in the morning."
"Yessir," Leila mumbled while Quinn grinned.
Logan was in the middle of having a horrid headache when the girls exited the Professor's study. Quinn looked at him and said, "Are you feeling alright?"
"No-,"
"Is it your head?"
"Yes-,"
Before Logan could finish, Quinn did the unthinkable. She just walked up to this tall, scary looking man and poked him in the forehead. Both got what felt like a static shock.
"Ouch!" they said together. Leila looked at them and shook her head disapprovingly.
Quinn blinked, shrugged and said, "Bye Mister!" before starting to trot down the hall.
Still a bit bewildered, Logan called after her, "It's Logan - my name is Logan."
"Bye mister Logan!" Quinn waved and continued to jog down the hallway.
Logan stared after their retreating figures before entering the Professor's study.
Xavier stared at him curiously. "Wolverine, did she just-?"
"Stride right up to me and poke me in the forehead? Yeah." Logan shook his head from side to side, trying to get out the numbness.
Xavier frowned in thought. "Interesting. . ."

Wow, unlike some other authors here, I've noticed I've been all over the place (where I've put my stories). I haven't been dwelling on a particular topic - so far, I've done a Songfic (for a fiction that's so old, it's not even here, so that was kinda hard to categorize at first), I've done a Lord of the Rings weird parody type thing, and now an X-Men thing. Sheesh, it kinda makes you wonder, where am I going to show up next?
WOW, this is also one of the longest things I've put on Fanfiction.net! This is four pages long! ^o^ I don't remember how long "Hollow Soul" was, but that was pretty long too. I've noticed my LotR chapters don't run too long.
Well, just an experimental idea from reading a fanfic by Les Yeux Violets, I have decided to incorporate Questions to some of my own fics (though I give her all the credit for inspiration!)
Also credited for inspiration:
My friend, Seto, for getting me involved with X-Men again.
Author, rogue-x-men, for inspiring me to write in Rogue's accent (I'm using her format for it and it might not all be right, not to mention look a bit weird until you try to sound it out, but I'm trying and that's what counts, ne?)
My friend, Nuclearcows, for sharing his popcorn with me at the 2nd X-Men movie (that has absolutely no relevance to this story, just wanted to advertise HOW NICE HE IS!! No, really, he is.)
And my friend, Yuka, for helping me decide on Quinn's "Raven" (she has no idea about this, heheh). You can see her work at FictionPress.net, she's windriderkitsune.
Ok, now the Questions:
Q: WHY on EARTH would I add two more characters to the already WAY COOL cast of X-Men: Evolution?
A: Well, that's for me to know and you to find out, tee hee. No, seriously, they do have significance!
Q: What's with the pokee of the headee thinger?
A: Um, that has significance too. Honest! It has to do with the way Quinn mutated, I just thought it was funny to start hinting at it like that.
Q: After Quinn just poked Wolverine in the forehead, why hasn't he strangled her yet?
A: Eh. . .well, that would make for a very short chapter, wouldn't it? Actually, if he tried to kill her it might make a bloody mess, and that would be a pain to clean up. Besides, the Professor might not be too happy about it.
Ok, that's all I can think of right now. ^^;; More is to come, soon (I hope) and I will update "Sleep Rap" when I get any cool ideas. . .cool ideas that will fit into the storyline, I mean. I always get cool ideas. They don't always work out well (like trying to jump over a swing) or aren't the smartest (like putting my finger in the pencil sharpener) but they've all developed my character (and right now, you're just thinking, "My GOD, what's WRONG with her??"). But I will try to get that updated soon.
Alright, you've heard me babble enough! Ciao!
