Hello!
Branching out a bit. X-Men is new territory for me in regards to my writings, well maybe not completely unexplored territory... but that was a long time ago! I've buried that crap deeeeep *shifty eyes*
...Anyways, I got this little idea over the weekend and it wouldn't leave me alone until I had pounded out some sort of jumping off point for it (rude little thing). So without further ado, I present to you:
Some Sort Of Prologue Type Thingy
The night was clear and cool, but not yet cold. Most of the trees had lost their leaves, but some determined brown dawdlers still clung stubbornly to the branches. All in all, it was a perfect night for a mob.
"Get 'im!"
One less creative voice rose above the epithets being spewed by the anti-mutant hate group. Or perhaps just the neighborhood watch organization. These days it was getting hard to tell the difference.
Wallace Dodds could hear them gaining on him. He glanced around desperately, looking for a place to hide or… something to save him. Anything! Then, like a shining beacon up ahead, he saw an intersection. Wallace bit his lip. He'd never used his powers on so many people before. A particularly loud threat rang in his ears and he made the mistake of looking back.
Were those torches?
He clenched his jaw in determination and reached out with his mind. When the corner approached, Wally turned right. The mob kept running down the street, chasing an illusion. He didn't stop to congratulate himself. With that many people and at with the distance he hoped to put between himself and them the illusion would only last a few minutes at best.
A few minutes were all he needed to disappear into the night.
Short prologue is short. Following chapters will be longer. Pinky swear.
Despite the nature of this first chapter, this is intended to be a humorous fic. Because life is no fun if it must be taken seriously.
Wallace Dodds is not property of Marvel. Nor is he mine... well, he's sort of mine. I take full credit for his adaptation to the Marvel/X-Men world, but at his root he is not mine.
I hope that you had fun reading this. I certainly enjoyed writing it and I'm looking forward to its continuation. Feedback would be most welcome :)
