Chapter 1: Meetings
Megan Evans and Gwendolyn Applegate stepped off the Kansas Airlines, they had no idea that they were being watched and followed. They were both 17 and coming from Staten Island, New York. They had taken a one way ticket to Smallville, Kansas, but their parents wouldn't have cared less. Ever since they exposed themselves as mutants, their parents had kept their distance. They were now in Metropolis, Kansas and were waiting for a taxi to take them to the Talon, a little coffee place in Smallville.
Gwen and Meg were two very stunning people. They had met at the age of two at an airport; their parents had been college buddies and the two little girls were friends ever since. Meg was born on May 17, 1986 and Gwen was born on June 27, 1986. Gwen stood at 5 feet and 5 inches, while Meg stood an inch taller. They both looked like they worked out a lot, which they did; they took martial art classes for 13 years, stopping at 15, but they still ran 2 miles every day. They both had green eyes; Gwen's being a deep emerald, while Meg had an icier colored one. Gwen's hair was cut chin-length at the front, but was a layered shoulder-length behind the ear and back. It was a dark brown colored streaked with a bright purple color. Meg, on the other hand, had blonde hair that was angled to the shoulders and was streaked with a neon green color. To finish it off, Meg had tips with the color, neon green, and Gwen had grew hers and had gotten a French Nail design done to her nails. They both had pedicures to match. The actual final edition was that they were mutants. Meg could levitate, freeze time, and make people feel that they were on Cloud 9. Gwen, on the other hand, gave people an electrical shock, which absorbed some of their energy and gave it to Gwen. The shock was strong enough to knock a person out and depending if you're weak, strong, old, or young, a person could get effected worse or not. For a mutant, she could absorb some of their power as well and make a mental note of it, so she could use it anytime she wanted to. She wore elbow length gloves and long sleeves or turtlenecks to keep physical contact almost impossible. Though, what Gwen didn't know was that, that a person could be shocked only once.
Bobby Drake was very nervous. And when he got nervous things went cold, literally. His code-name was Iceman because he could make the air around him cold. He didn't like stalking people, but he had too. All the X-Men had too. He wore a similar uniform to those that his teachers were wearing. They were tight and felt like they would give him a rash of some sort. His professors, Jean, Scott, and Xavier were now waiting for a taxi to follow Gwen and Meg, and Bobby reluctantly helped. Ororo was his other professor, but had taken the Blackbird and was going to land somewhere in one of Smallville's vast fields. They were all wearing black shades to keep from making eye contact with anyone, except for Scott who was wearing his visor to keep his rays from hitting anyone. When the taxi finally came, Scott helped Xavier out of his wheelchair and into the taxi.
Xavier mentioned "Remember, Bobby, you didn't need to come with us."
Bobby dryly "Yes, I know," he shut the taxi door and the driver began
to drive toward the Talon, "what's so important about them anyway. Is
it ok we're stalking them?"
Xavier replied "They are mutants in need of help. We're simply
following them to bring them to the school."
Bobby retorted "We could have just stopped them at the airport."
Scott answers "It isn't that simple.they could run.or use their
powers, which are unknown to us."
Xavier speaks to Bobby "Scott's right, but the reason we're really
still following them is because there is another mutant that's in
Smallville too."
Bobby said, "Really?"
Xavier said, "Yes we need to find the three children and bring them to
the school before something happens to them or Eric finds them." Everyone went silent. They looked at the sign that said Welcome to Smallville: The Meteor Capitol of the World. Bobby raised an eyebrow as they passed the sign and Scott smirked.
Gwen looked out the taxi window. All she saw was corn.
"Reckon there's enough to feed a million people?" said Meg, breaking Gwen's train of thought.
"I suppose," responded Gwen.
"You seem depressed," said Meg, stating the already known, "what's bothering you?" "You know what is." Gwen said shortly. "Gwen..." Meg said. "We were all over the news and in all the papers," said Gwen, "just because you froze time and I put Jem in a coma and now our parents hate us." Jem was Gwen's little brother, it was short for Jeremy. "And now our parents hate us," whispered Meg, "because we're mutants." Gwen said nothing, mostly because there was nothing to be said. Suddenly a motion caught her vision from outside. Besides the fact that there was an odd-looking plane flying in the sky, there was a blur of someone running in the field full of corn. The person was running at like the speed of light and just like that was off.
"Meg did you see that?" asked Gwen, "Meg?" She turned to look at Meg and saw her gaping at the window. "I'll take that as a yes" and smirked. Ten minutes later, they got out of the taxi and headed toward the Talon. Then they stopped. Well actually, it was more like Meg stopped and Gwen collided into her.
"Meg, what was that?" Gwen said furiously.
Meg smiled. "They have a Pathmark in the middle of Kansas. Now this I have to see!" Meg said excitedly. Gwen suddenly felt very airy and felt like she could fly toward the sky. "Ok we'll go, but Meg calm down, I don't like flying" said Gwen and they both laughed. "Wait, stop" she said to Meg before going inside. She turned around.
The X-Men stepped out of the taxi and began to follow Gwen and Meg. Bobby was clearly uncomfortable in his uniform and kept tugging at the collar. Jean laughed and heard her say *You didn't have to wear that* inside his mind. Bobby just shrugged. That was when the trouble began. Meg was already inside, but Gwen stood outside. She looked at him and arched an eyebrow. To her, we must look like something from Men in Black, thought Bobby. The next thing he knew, he couldn't move, nor could any of the X-Men. Gwen was standing there and her hand was turned slightly.
Gwen was using a power she had obtained when she had first come in contact with her power. She had got it after she had touched Meg. Meg was okay afterwards, just a little "off", so was Gwen, it had only lasted for while. It could have been worse, but it usually depended, to her, on how strong, weak, powerful, not so powerful. The power she was using wasn't freezing time exactly, but she had learned to control the power enough to hold their legs in place and for the man in the wheelchair, the wheels. She then entered Pathmark with Meg. It was nothing personal, just she was very suspicious of them; they had been following them for an awfully long time.
Meg sighed. It was just like Gwen to get paranoid, but what could she do? Her train of thought was stopped as Meg rammed full face into a young boy in his mid teens. Gwen gave a shout as the two collided into the magazine section.
"Are you alright?" said Gwen to both the young man and Meg.
"Umph," said Meg.
The young man jumped up.
"Oh my god! I'm.I'm so sorry," said the guy.
"It's alright, just help her out will you" said Gwen. She didn't think it was odd that the guy had recovered so quickly. He bent over and gently picked Meg, who was still in a daze. "I could bring her to my place."said the guy. "Yea, sure," said Gwen sarcastically, "and where did the trust come in?" The guy placed Meg gently against Aisle 1 and gave her a look of adoration, even though she looked as if she would hop around on one foot in any second. "I'm Clark Kent" he said taking out his hand. "Gwen" she responded and shook his hand with a firm grip. He thought it was odd of her for wearing gloves in hot weather, but said nothing. "I'm Meg!" Meg replied cheerfully. Clark laughed and said "Nice to meet you." He took her hand and helped her up. "We should clean up this mess" said Gwen and began to pick up magazines. She looked up and saw Meg looking up into Clark's eyes. They would soon be levitating, but that wasn't why she looked up. Behind them was a guy in black pointing a gun at them. Gwen shrieked. "WATCH OUT!" she shouted and shoved them to the ground.
Two shots rang out. Meg and Gwen crawled to one of the lower shelves
of Aisle 1 and crawled in. It was the cereal section. They didn't
move. They didn't breathe. There was silence and then more shots
rang out. There were shouts of 'Give me the money' and then some more
shouts and groans. Gwen was shaking. Meg was trying to calm herself.
"This is a Pathmark," Meg said.
"Who the hell robs a Pathmark!" said Gwen.
"I don't know, but we should calm down," said Meg.
"Yea, you do that, I'll panic," said Gwen.
Someone then bent over. "Are you." he began, but was hit by Gwen who
screamed and threw a box of Cheerios at him. Flames erupted
everywhere, coming out threw his eyes.
"Gwen, that was Clark!" said Meg.
"Well, how was I supposed to know!" Gwen shouted, "Let's get out of
here."
"Ok, but not without Clark," replied Meg.
"Who said we were leaving without him?" said Gwen. All of a sudden there was an explosion. The next thing Gwen knew was that she was bouncing on her butt off the sidewalk and into the street. Gwen finally got up and groaned. She hurt everywhere and her upper right arm had a large gash in it. She was about to go back into the now burning Pathmark, until she heard a cough that was meant to catch her attention. She looked up and saw the people that she had stopped in their tracks earlier. They looked very uncomfortable and had taken off their sunglasses except for one of them who was wearing an odd looking visor.
"Oh, sorry about that" said Gwen and twitched her hand again and they stumbled.
"Finally" muttered Bobby.
"Yea," said Gwen, but was interrupted by Clark dashing out with Meg in his arms. Unlike Gwen's gash on her arm, Meg had a small cut on her forehead just above her right eye, but she was also unconscious . "Is she alright?" said Gwen worriedly. "I believe so. She must have fainted from the fumes or something" said Clark. In the distance, sirens were heard. Gwen groaned loudly. "We need to get out of here," said Gwen, stating the already obvious.
"But where?" she said, more to herself. Then she heard a voice in her head, *Come with us. We may be able to help you. * She muttered a couple of inappropriate word and looked around to see were the voice had come from and realized that the same thing must have happened to Clark because he was looking all around. They rested their eyes on the man in the wheelchair.
"My name is Professor Charles Xavier and I'm here to help you and so is my team of X-Men," said the Professor. "I'm not an X-Men, unfortunately, I'm too young" said Bobby. His clear statement made Gwen laugh. Hard. "This is Bobby Drake, code-named Iceman," continued Xavier, "This is Scott Summers, code-named Cyclops and this is Dr. Jean Grey." They each gave either nod or a smile. "Um.hi.I'm Gwen Applegate, she's Meg Evans, and he's Clark Kent?" Gwen said, in a question only because she was very confused. "Come with us. We may be able to help you, all of you," said Xavier. "Where would you be taking us?" Clark asked a suspicion the trio held. "To Westchester, New York. Ororo and the Blackbird are waiting near the bridge. We'll be taking you to my school for our kind," said Xavier. "Um, we don't have anywhere else to go, and we could always leave." Gwen said reasonably.
"What about my parents?" said Clark. The sirens became louder.
"We've got to go now!" shouted Scott, "Or it'll be too late." The X- Men headed toward the bridge. "I'm going," said Gwen, "just give me Meg." "No, I'll go too," replied Clark and they began to follow the X-Men. Everyone was following Scott, who was half sprinting. 15 minutes later, they got to the bridge. They then went into the field. Xavier said that Ororo concealed the Blackbird by landing in the cornfield. Gwen remembered seeing an odd-looking plane in the sky earlier. They were nearly half way through the field when Meg woke up and screamed. Meg was quite comfortable in Clark's arms, but his racing heart was what made her fully aware of her surroundings.
"What the hell is going on?" shouted Meg.
"We're going to New York!" said Clark.
"By foot?!" said Meg.
"No."said Clark. Everyone stopped running. There, in front of them, was the Blackbird. To Gwen, Meg, and Clark, it was humongous.
"Whoa." said Meg.
"Wow," said Clark, "that's big."
"We're gonna fly in style," said Gwen excitedly, "cool." Bobby laughed. This was pretty much what he was like this morning, when he first saw the Blackbird. It was amazing and flied so cool. Inside stood Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm. Meg jumped out of Clark's arms.
"I want to go in first!!" said Meg and ran up the ramp that had come out, "cool!!" Ororo laughed and approached Meg. They shook hands. "I'm Ororo Munroe, you can call me Storm" she said. "I'm Meg Evans.you can call me Meg" said Meg and took a seat. Ororo introduced herself to both Gwen and Clark and then sat down with Scott at the controls. Jean got out some antibiotics for Gwen's arm and then wrapped her upper arm in a big white cloth. Gwen then realized that it had been a bad day for wearing white clothes because she was smeared with soot and her outfit was now black.
comics has claim over that, but I shall say that Gwen, Meg, Jeremy, Kacia,
Sil, and Roree are my characters and nyah! Oh yea and Clark is owned by
