MVX- Most Vampireous X-Man
I'm in love with this place. I've lived here for about four years now, and I feel right at home. I know that I have no other choice of living quarters, for I'm a mutant and no one will take me in. When I found out I had these strange aquatic powers, my own parents turned their backs on me. I read an article about the Xavier Institute, so I had to run away from Michigan to get to Upstate New York and be adopted by people just like me.
They have treated me like their own. They even gave me a nickname, Mist. My powers are that I can change the temperature of water, squirt water from my hands at will, and even change into a water formation of a puddle on the floor. When I got here, I was a mess. Little old Kathy DeCate, with no home. Professor Xavier took me in and I quickly mastered the ability to change the temperature of water and to squirt water from my hand as I please.
I've made many friends, as well. Logan and Scott are like my older brothers. And I share a room with Jubilee, Kitty, and Rouge. Bobby, Pyro, and Kurt are awesome to me, too. How could I not love it here? Grandpa (Professor X) Is now having me master the formation of a puddle, as well as making my clothing become a puddle with me, and to have my form so that I don't get anything wet or drop through any cracks and can move around.
But I must admit, I still feel very new here. Everyone has a past of some sort and they've all gone through so much, and all I can do is be in the Danger Room and baby-sit the younger kids when the others have a mission. We haven't seen a new face for a long time. And...I'm kind of lonely.
Today was a Saturday. I woke up to the sound of Rouge's pretty singing in the shower. I'm jealous of her because she has a good voice and mine can't find the right note, most of the time. My voice isn't horrible, but it's not like hers, either.
I got up from my comfy, blue-sheeted bed and instead of waiting for Rouge to get done, I snuck into another girls' room to quickly shower and change there.
The Mansion. It's beautiful! Four years I have spent in the small country-like town of Westchester, in a very pretty brick-like structure with Storm's gardens all over the place.
After the cold, harsh winter, April finally came to bid us a warmer climate and promise of a good tan. I took my breakfast and ate it outside, near Storm's creations. She was working on a maze right now. It only looked like a large, square hedge, its perimeter was 50 x 50 and it was 10 feet high at this point. All we had to do was get Logan or someone that was good with sharp objects to create the maze for us.
I propped my feet up on the white table and ate my bagel with cream cheese.
"Hey," Said a male voice behind me. I turned around to look at Pyro, also known as John. His slicked back hair glistened in the sun and his white wife beater made his chest look all the more buffer. You could tell I had a crush on him.
"Hey, are we having practice in the Danger Room today?" I asked, trying to shield my eyes from the sun which was right behind him.
"I don't know. I hope not, I'm too lazy," He grinned and looked around. "Alright, I'm going back inside. I just wanted to see if the weather was tolerable for me, and I've decided I like air conditioning in there better."
"But…you're composed of fire. You should like the heat, like I love the water," I inquired.
"True, but I'm also composed of laziness which includes the utter boredom of being in nature," He spoke brilliantly. "So, I'll talk to you later." He turned around and was about to go through the double doors of the Mansion when he turned around and said, "Hey Kathy…You look good today." And with that, he went into the air conditioned atmosphere.
I just turned around back to the maze and allowed a cool breeze to engulf my senses.
