Hola to one and all! This is my first X-Men fanfic so go easy on me please.
Quickly though, I can't write a German accent, so please use your imagination and put it in yourself.
Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men, I wish I owned Nightcrawler, however sadly I don't. I do own Amelia and her siblings.
Sometimes, the world scares me. It makes me afraid to go outside, to live a life outside my home, inside my home; I'm not as scared but feel safe. It makes me afraid for my baby brothers when I think of what kind of world they're growing up into. Sometimes, I fear for my older brothers, what if they got hurt trying to protect us? What would I do then? Without them to help me. For the past three years these questions have plagued me, I block them from my mind when I'm awake, but when I'm asleep, they never fail to rear their ugly faces. They cause so much pain when they come. I sighed and rolled onto my side looking at the window where the sun shined though. It had already been up an hour signaling yet another night without sleep. "Amelia Millie James, it's time to get up" came a voice from the bottom of the stairs that went up to my room. "Go Away Joel" I muttered. Joel was my 2nd oldest brother and really knew how to get on my nerves.
I heard footsteps coming up the stairs "I Said, time to get up sunshine" these were the words I heard before the ice cold water hit me. I jumped up in time to see Joel take off down the stairs. "Oh, no you don't!" I got out of bed in only my dark blue tank top and black shorts with silver stars on them, grabbed my BeBeGun from my dresser and jumped down the stairs to take off running. When I got to the first level I could hear voices coming from the parlor so I snuck along the wall to the doorway and listened. "Did you wake her?" came the voice of my eldest brother Aaron. "Yes, she should be down soon" Came Joel's voice. Found him.
I spun into the doorway and took aim with my BeBeGun before pulling the trigger and releasing a round of pellets into Joel's forehead. I lowered the BeBeGun and gave a smile of success as Joel lay on the floor knocked out next to where Aaron stood. It was only than that I noticed that Aaron and Joel weren't the only people in the room. There was a man in a wheelchair with a woman who had snow white hair standing beside him. On the other side of the room there was two other men, one was big with muscles and black hair who looked on the defensive now and the other was slim…and blue. I couldn't really say anything on that one. I mean, I've seen weirder.
"I take in Joel used cold water again?" Aaron said with a slight smirk to his face, probability the only emotion he'll show today, as he nudged Joel on the floor with his foot. I nodded "um…Since when did you have meetings this early in the morning? And since when were they held at the manor?" I asked as I moved next to Joel to roll him onto his back. "They are not clients, or share holders, they are from a school." I looked up at him. "I thought we agreed that Jeremy and Alexander are going to be home schooled this year." The man in the wheelchair spoke up than "This is no ordinary school Amelia; this is a school for gifted children, like yourself."
I looked at the man and back to Aaron. He stared down at me and then bent down to help me pick Joel up. "Gifted how?" I asked as we laid Joel on the couch. "Just gifted" came a voice in my mind that made me drop Joel and spin around to stare at the man before frowning. "How did you find out?" the man smiled lightly. "I have my ways." I was about to promptly tell him to take a hike before Aaron cut me off. "I think Jeremy, Alexander and you should go Millie." I looked up at him a bit shocked, only Remy and Alex called me Millie, Aaron never did. "Why? If this is a school for Freaks, then it's the last place I should be, Remy and Alex I understand, but me? Not to mention the fact, I graduated before you and Joel."
The man spoke again "You are not a Freak Amelia, you are…" I cut him off "If you finish that sentence with gifted, I'll show you how "gifted" I really am". I picked up my BeBeGun and started to leave "If Remy and Alex go; I'll go with them, I'm not sending them off by themselves. However Aaron, you and Joel can go to hell, for thinking even for a second that you both can slip away off the hook. Because everyone in the house knows, even though you're not as "Gifted" as me, you both still fall under the Freak category, and you need lessons the most considering the anger management issues, you BOTH have." I stopped at the doorway and looked back at everyone.
"To the rest of you, have a good day. To my idiot siblings, stop thinking for me." I started to climb the stairs back to my room to shower and get dressed. When I was done, I looked at myself in the mirror. Black short curly hair, green emerald eyes, deathly pale skin, and a bruise from where I hit my head the other day. I looked like crap. Felt like it to, but life moves on and so must I. So I sighed and moved to my closet to pull out a red dress-shirt, black tie, red pantyhose's, a black Pencil skirt and my favorite black pumps. I sat down in front of the mirror and began to work my hair into everyday tight curls and added some make up to hide the bruise. When I was done I stood up and walked down to the second level to make sure Jeremy and Alexander were awake. Jeremy and Alexander were my younger brothers.
Jeremy is fourteen while Alexander is twelve. Both are mutants, like the rest of their siblings. I'm sixteen, I've been taking care of my younger brothers since I was five, with Joel and Aarons help. Up until Aaron hit eighteen we lived with our bitter aunt, when he did though, me and him went to have the papers filled out so that we could all leave that wicked woman behind. Our parents died when we were all young, my father was a successful business man and left us the business. Our mother was a writer, and a mutant. Aaron, who is twenty, and Joel who is eighteen and I have been running our father's company for a few years now. Remy and Alex aren't old enough or skilled enough yet to help out. I was the first to take over because I graduated first; I have several degrees, and am overly smart to an annoying point.
When I graduated I went and filled out the paper work to be considered a legal adult and had custody of Remy and Alex under both mine and Aaron's name. Than Aaron joined in to help with the company, and then Joel, both however still took night classes for collage. Jeremy was pretty smart and skipped a grade so he's in what would be his freshman year of high school. Alexander skipped almost two grades so this would be his final year of middle school. Before all the protesting on mutants and the M.R.D. Remy and Alex went to a private school in the city. Aaron and Joel pulled them out when things started getting bad. The both of them, not matter how annoying were very protective to the point where I have gotten into physical fights with them over it. Me and Joel fight all the time, it's just how we are, but when we fight, we tend to use our powers, and that tends to blow up stuff. Me and Aaron, not so much, but that's because he's always working.
"Millie, Millie, Millie!!" I smiled as I saw Remy and Alex running towards me. Me and my siblings all looked alike, black hair, either straight or curly and pale skin, I however was the only one with green eyes, the rest had blue. "Good morning my fellow terrors of the world, what's gotten you both all pumped up?" I smiled down at them. "There a weird man looking for you!" Alex said "Yeah and he talks funny!" Remy added. "Ah Sorry miss I didn't mean to excite them. I looked up at the man walking towards me. It was the blue guy from downstairs. "I was hoping to talk to you, about the school and all, but got lost looking for your room." He stopped in front of me and smiled a bit. I looked down at Alex and Remy who were now hiding behind me. "Little Terrors, he's a mutant just like you, and he only has an accent, if he meant any harm, do you think he would have been allowed to wander the manor?" Both shook their heads and I sighed. "You both should go get dressed." "Ok Millie" each said before running back down the hallway to their rooms. "Sorry about them." I said as I looked at the man before me. We were close to the same height, than again I had heels on. He smiled "It's ok, really, I'm used to it." I nodded and gestured for him to follow me. "Miss..." "Call me Amelia, what's your name?" he smiled "Kurt Wagner" I nodded "Amelia, I was sorting hoping to convince you to come to the school." Kurt said. I looked at him, "I'm not the one who needs convincing, you should be talking to Jeremy and Alexander." It got quiet for a bit as we continued on our way, until we got to the side stairs that would take you straight to the dining room. I sighed and realized I was being a bit of a bitch, so I stopped and took a deep breath."I am, sorry for my rude behavior, now and earlier Mr. Wagner, I'm just not in the best of moods today." I smiled a bit as I looked at him. He smiled back "it is more than fine Miss Amelia, however there is something else I would like to ask you" I nodded for him to continue "What is your power?" I thought for a moment on how to reply.
"I have a strange power. My power, is whatever any Mutants power is." He looked perplexed "you can copy others powers?" "Yes, but the problem with it is, is that I can't chose who I copy, I just copy them. I don't have to know them, I don't need to know their power, and I just copy it. But after I copy it, I can forever use it." I said "That's amazing, can you copy mine?" he asked. I smiled and nodded before concentrating and reaching out to take his hand before pushing his power into action and teleporting down into the dining room, where breakfast was already laid out. I wobbled and almost fell, but Kurt caught me. "Thank you Mr. Wagner" his smile just got bigger "Don't mention it, and don't worry, it get easier with time." I laughed and smiled. Maybe I should attend this school or at least go see it.
Well that's it so far, let me know what you all think with your much appreciated reviews! Also I know some of it is confusing, I confused myself writing it, so if there are any questions, don't be afraid to ask! lol
{And if I got anything wrong, please, tell me nicely, if you're a snob about it, I'm not gonna be nice with my reply!}
