DM: Digital Mutants
[A/N: Oh God I'm a freak. I'm sorry about this, but I just saw the X-Men movie for the second time today. I'm not trying to rip off the author 'charbonne' or whoever it is that's writing this kind of series. I don't mean to 'use' your idea, but I like the idea. So, I'm not ripping anyone off. At least, I hope it doesn't seem that way. Oh yeah, two more things. One, Shinji's in the ficcy. Two, how in the world could a popcorn kernel get inside my sock?! Oh yeah, this takes place a little bit after the Dark Masters, and the digimon are in the Real World.]
[Disclaimer: I don't own either of these things. Dang.]
It had been about two months since the Dark Masters had been defeated. Tai, Matt, TK, and Kari were out on a picnic with their digimon. "What a great day!" TK said happily. He was right. The sun was shining, the birds were singing… Just the stereotypical type of day for a picnic. TK was looking straight up into the sky, lying on his back. He sighed happily and closed his eyes. Kari giggled and kissed TK on the forehead. TK snapped open his eyes in shock.
Suddenly, with a raging red light, Kari fell back with a scream. She clapped her hands to her forehead, blood leaking out from between her fingers. TK clapped his hands over his eyes after shutting them tight. Some… Energy blast had shot from his eyes, hitting Kari in the forehead.
"KARI!" Tai yelled, rushing over to his sister. "TK!" Matt yelled more frantically. Tai pried his sister's hands away from her forehead, trying to see if there was a wound. Tai gasped. There was a gash, but it was rapidly healing! TK wouldn't open his eyes, no matter how hard Matt tried. "GET AWAY!" the young boy screamed.
Tai pulled out a cell phone that he borrowed from his mother and tried to call 9-1-1. But when he touched the phone with his bare hands, it started to bend and melt. Tai dropped it quickly. Matt picked it up, and the plastic stopped melting at once. "We have to call someone close by!" he said, tears brimming in his eyes. He immediately dialed Shinji's phone number.
"Yes? Hello?" Shinji asked after she picked up the phone. "Shinji! Please, call an ambulance!" Matt's frantic voice came through the phone. He babbled like an incoherent dolt for a while until Shinji said something. "Matt, calm down!" she yelled, "Tell me what's wrong first!" But before Matt could say anything, a vision of what occurred a few minutes ago appeared in Shinji's mind. "Matt I-" she tried to say. What just happened? "OK Matt." she said quickly, "I get someone. Just take care of TK." Again, before Matt could say anything, Shinji hung up the phone.
Matt heard the soft click on the other side, and then the phone shattered. It had turned into nothing but ice shards! Matt looked at his hands, and then at Tai's hands. "How did Shinji know?" Matt asked softly. "What?" Tai asked. He was holding himself in a ball, rocking back and forth. "She knew about TK, and I didn't say anything." Matt breathed in a whisper.
Soon enough, a car drove up. It was Matt and TK's mother and father. "TK!" TK and Matt's mother said, tears streaking down her face. She leapt from the car, wrapping her arms around TK. TK would NOT open his eyes. "Mommy!" he cried, also starting to cry. "Matt!" Mr. Ishida yelled, "What the hell happened?!" Matt stood up against his father. "Something's wrong with TK's eyes." the blond teen said simply. Mr. Ishida snarled angrily. "I don't like mutants." he growled.
Halfway around the world, in America…
Professor Charles Xavier wheeled out of Cerebro. "Professor, what's going on?" Scott Summers, AKA Cyclops, asked. "It looks like we've got a few new students." the professor said with a small smile.
[A/N: I know, short. But it's not anywhere near the end. Recap, TK has eye beams, Kari has healing powers, Tai is a secret, and Matt is a secret. Shinji is obviously a little psychic. But, that's not all her powers. ::Big grin:: Ja ne!]
