Chapter One
So this is a story I'm writing with WishesFromAStar and Selena. (The other person on this account.) WishesFromAStar's OC is Valerie, mine is Sapphire. So I hope you enjoy!
"Sapphire!" Valerie called as she ran though the crowded hallway to meet her brunette friend at her locker.
"Hey Val! What's up?" she said as she put her textbooks in her locker.
"Noth-" Valerie started, but she was cut off when an explosion rang through the hallway. Parts of the school began to crumble. A metal bar landed in front of a classroom door, trapping the students inside. Valerie ran over and lifted the bar up and away from the door. Sapphire ran in and got the thirty students and one teacher out in under ten seconds.
Suddenly, a violent rain poured down as Sapphire was running down a hall. She slipped on the water and skidded down the hallway. Valerie ran over and helped her up and they sped out of the building.
When they got out, they saw a group of people come out of a ship that landed beside the school remains. They huddled close to each other as one man approached them slowly, looking furious.
"Did you two get that class of kids out?" he growled.
"Y-yes." Sapphire stuttered.
"How?" he demanded.
"I-I can run. Really fast. She's strong. Really strong." she replied nervously.
"No one's that fast, no one's that strong." he told them.
"We are." Valerie said. The group just stared.
"You're mutants." a bald man in a wheel chair said pulling forward.
"We're not mutants. We're just...different..." Valerie and Sapphire said.
"Go home. Tomorrow, come to this address." the bald man said giving them a paper. The group went back to the ship and flew off. Sapphire and Valerie stood still, and looked up at the sky.
THE NEXT DAY-AFTER SCHOOL
Valerie walked out of the school, Sapphire close behind.
"So where to?" she asked hyperly.
"The address Sapph." she answered simply.
"you mean we're seriously going?" Sapph asked. Valerie nodded and the two walked in silence 'till they reached the warehouse in the address and went inside.
"Hello?" Sapph asked, her voice echoing around the building. Three figures walked forward. The scary man from before suddenly ran at her and grabbed her arm. Sapphire looked up wide-eyed for a minute, then her face twisted into a glare.
It was so on.
SAPPHIRE'S POV
That guy, I recognize him now, from the news, Wolverine, grabbed my arm. I was shocked for a second, but then I just glared at him. I began vibrating my molecules, causing friction between his hand and my arm. I burned him and he quickly released me. Val was dodging blows from the lady with long white hair. She and Wolverine looked at each other, nodded, and then switched. I was now up against...what was her name?...oh yea...Storm. She blasted me with wind up against a wooden crate, holding me there. I smirked and her face looked confused. I vibrated and fazed through the crate. I ran out and tripped her, sending blinding fast punches at her. She knocked me back, and suspended me in a storm cloud. I looked down and saw Val pinned by Wolverine.
"Let them down." Baldy said. Storm dropped me and I ran over to Val.
"I'm very sorry about that. We had to make sure of who you were. Please, come with me." he said wheeling away.
"Why? You tried to kill us like, five seconds ago!" I yelled annoyed.
"Trust me. I can help you." he said. I watched him for a minute. He had a different aura from the other two. While theirs was more threatening, his was more...fatherly. I looked at Val. She nodded, and I nodded back.
We followed Baldy.
Best. Decision. Ever.
That WAS a chapter end, but it seemed too short, so I'm going to continue. YOU'RE WELCOME!
One last thing, I couldn't remember Xavier's name, so he is Baldy. Sapphire calls him that.
STILL SAPPHIRE'S POV
We followed Baldy to the base for the group he called the X-Men. He said we could join them, learn how to use our powers, and put them to good use. Val and I looked at each other.
"Okay!" we said excitedly.
"good, but first, we need to see the extent of your powers." he told us. We nodded and followed him to a room with various targets, dummies, and training equipment.
"Sapphire, what can you do?" he asked me. I stepped forward.
"I can run. Fast. Really fast. I can vibrate through things." I told him nervously. He nodded and led me to a steel climbing wall. It looked like it was about six inches thick.
"Show me." he said. I nodded and began vibrating my molecules and fazed through the climbing wall. He nodded his approval.
"How fast are you?" Wolverine asked.
"Very." I retorted.
"Show us." Baldy. I nodded.
"Who here has a craving for their favorite food?" I asked. Baldy raised his hand
"What is it, and any specific place you want it from?" I asked as I looked up at him.
"Lasagna, let me see...the best I've ever had was in Rome..." he told me. I nodded and ran. I ran over the oceans, into Rome, Italy, grabbed a plate of lasagna, dropped some money down in it's place, grabbed a barrette, and ran back.
"Your food." I said as I handed him the plate. He looked shocked that it was still steaming. I realized he had no fork or knife, so I sped around the base till I found them, then rushed back after only been having gone for a second. He slowly bit into the food and smiled. I grinned back and reached into my bag for my Monster. (Okay, what tells you that letting MY character who has SUPER SPEED and ADHD have a Monster on hand is a good idea? That's right! EVERYTHING! Mwahahaha!) I opened it and chugged it down pretty quickly. I stood still for a minute and smiled. I'm usually good at holding down my sugar, despite what most people think, but then I realized something; I hadn't had anything else for a few hours. My smile grew and I began to vibrate. I then began running laps around the room.
"You're acting like you're 14." Wolverine growled.
"14! 14 sides on a tetra-decagon! 14 lines in a sonnet! S! S! SSS...Silicon! Antimony! Arsenic! Aluminum! Selenium!" I yelled rapidly. (You get a cookie and a shout-out SAYING you got a cookie if you can tell me which Doctor Who episode I got the first part from! It doesn't even have to be the actual title, just what happens really.) I suddenly stopped in the middle of the room, still vibrating.
"What the..?" Wolverine said, I assume this sort of behavior scared him. Ha ha, wimp.
"Sentence fragment!" I yelled. What? It was. His sentence didn't have a subject and predicate.
"She gets pretty hyper easily. Her metabolism is insane, so it should pass soon." I head Valerie say. I ran over to her and began bouncing up and down at super speeds. I was smiling like crazy.
"VAAAAALL! I saw a squirrel and a mushroom! Mushy mushroom! Maybe it's friendly! Do you think it would want to be my friend? Oh-my-gosh! I want pie!" I said as I continued jumping. I felt a hand on my shoulder, but it jerked back almost immediately, obviously getting burned.
"you know what's better than rainbows? RAINBOWS ON FIRE! Oh! What does this do?" I asked running around.
"And that's the ADHD kicking in..." Val sighed. I came to a dead stop in the middle of the room. I looked around and saw every one starring at me and Wolverine go over and destroy my bag and all the contents of candy and sugar inside.
"No more. Not now, not ever again." he growled. I rolled my eyes.
"Well now you not only owe me $12.68 for the snacks you destroyed, but you owe me a new bag, and that cost $50." I told him annoyed. He growled again.
"Now you Valerie." Baldy said. I didn't pay much attention, I'd seen all that before. I saw Wolverine's expression become shocked when he saw Valerie's claws come from the back of her hands. When Val finished, I saw Baldy roll to Wolverine and whisper to him.
Suddenly, I felt a wall of cool air hit me. I looked around, and it seemed like I was the only one who could feel it. I shivered. I was so cold. I began vibrating to heat up my body.
"Stop it!" Wolverine barked. He must of thought I was having another sugar rush.
He was wrong.
That also should have been a chapter end, but I feel like being very nice to you guys and putting the next one on, making this a freakishly long chapter. FEEL HAPPY! Hahaha. Anyways, lets continue shall we?
STILL SAPPHIRE'S POV
Now as I hope you realize, I may have stood up to him earlier, but Wolverine was a scary guy, so when he said stop, I stopped. I slowly got colder and colder. I looked around to see what was going on. I looked and saw Storm staring hard at me.
"Stop it." I snarled. Storm's concentration was broken and the cold fell away and I vibrated quickly to heat up faster. Wolverine glared at me, but I ignored him and shot my own glare at Storm.
"Stop with the cold front only I can feel, or I'm leaving." I said sharply.
"Storm, that was very unnecessary." Baldy said.
"That you. I said curtly.
"So now what happens?" Val asked.
"Well, you could both train with us, or, you could lead your lives without us as normally as possible." Baldy told the both of us.
"I guess we'll go with y'all." I said as Val shrugged and nodded. We then followed Baldy and the other adults to the ship.
About 15 minutes later, we ended up at what I assumed was the main base. We filed out and Wolverine pushed a button and called into a speaker. We followed behind Baldy, who's name I learned was Xavier, Storm, and Wolverine. Soon, the room had filled with a lot of other adults who we were hidden from view from.
"Every one, these are the newest X-Men, Sapphire and Valerie." Baldy said as he, Storm, and Wolverine moved, revealing us to the crowd of eight adult in front of us.
"Just Sapph and Val, please." Val told them.
"So who are y'all?" I asked. A few gave me weird looks, I guess they weren't used to southern accents.
"My name is Cyclops, Scott Summers if you don't mind." a man with dark sunglasses and brown hair told us.
"Shadow Cat, or Kitty. Whichever you prefer." the girl with long brown locks said.
"Jean Grey." the ginger chick said. (I have nothing against gingers!)
"Night Crawler." the blue skinned, black haired said to us both.
"Beast." the other blue skinned boy said.
"Iceman, Bobby." the last guy told us.
"Nice to meet y'all." I said smiling.
"So what can you two do?" Scott asked us.
"I'm strong, and..." Val said as she let her blades out. A gasp rang through the crowd. They quickly shook it off, and Night Crawler turned to me.
"And you?" he said. I smirked and sped next to him. He flinched back slightly.
"Teleporting?" Kitty asked me. I smiled and sped to her, scaring her.
"Nope." I said smirking.
"Then what?" Beast asked.
"Super speed." I said smiling. I then then sped around the room. "Got any food?" I asked as I popped up in front of Bobby.
"Sapph, you ate like, ten minutes ago." Val said. I shrugged and rolled my eyes.
"Does 'high metabolism' mean nothing to you?" I asked. Val rolled her eyes. Baldy called the adults over. They spoke in hushed tones, so I tried to listen in. I heard something about a Brotherhood and a mutant that needed help. Wolverine nodded and looked back over to us.
"Stay here with the Professor." he ordered.
"But..." I began.
"No buts!" he snarled. I shrunk back and watched every one else leave.
"Well girls, I have some questions about your powers. Do you mind if we go to the library to talk?" he asked. I shrugged and we followed him.
"So Sapphire, what are the extents of your powers?" he asked me.
(Okay, so I got all this info from a wiki page about Flash. So yea. I'm cool.)
"I can move, think, and react at superhuman speeds. I can vibrate though solid objects, and..." I stopped.
"What?" Xavier asked.
"Well, a couple years ago, I went on a mission by myself to find out what my potential was. I could learn how to travel through time, and lend and borrow speed. I've been trying to see if I can go through things with someone else, but so far, I haven't. I have this invisible bubble around me that prevents myself and my clothes from being affected by air friction. Because I think so fast, telepathy doesn't normally work on me, because my thoughts are going so fast, that people with telepathy cannot read them or control my mind. I can also speak at super speeds, and only people who have some form of super speed can understand me. I actually created a sonic boom once when I got really excited." I told him. (The whole sonic boom speaking thing was Wally West)
"That thing Valerie commented on earlier, your high metabolism?" he asked. I laughed a bit.
"Well, because my whole body goes at super speeds, I need to keep up my energy, so my metabolism always works in overtime to make up for the rest. So I can eat a five course meal, and not gain a pound." I smirked.
"Right. Valerie, mind telling me more about your powers?"
"I'm strong, and well..." she said as she released four metal blades from the back of her hands.
"I only know one other person like that..." Baldy said quietly.
Suddenly, the main doors whooshed open and the X-Men came in, followed by a girl who looked about our age.
"Hi!" I said excitedly as I ran over to her.
Now I'm ending it here, the next chapter is actually going to be written by none other than...SELENA!
