A/n hey this is my first story for x men evolution. Main characters being my oc and Jamie Madrox.
Janie's pov
"Welcome to my institute for gifted youngsters. I've arranged for James, also known as Multiple, to show you to your room and give you a tour," Professor X said while walking into the mansion. "Thank you," I replied gratefully. "Here he comes now," he said while looking up as a boy ran down the stairs. Wait a minute, is that Jamie Madrox!
"Janie!," he exclaimed when he saw me. So it is Jamie! "Jamie," I exclaimed in response. He ran over and hugged me and I hugged him back. The action caused some duplicates of him to appear. "I see you to know each other," I heard a voice behind me say, "Jamie, can you show Janice to her room."
"Sure," he replied while breaking the hug. I readjusted the strap of of my duffel bag and followed him upstairs. He led me down a hall and into a room. "Set your bags on the bed and will continue the tour," he exclaimed while opening the door. I dropped my bag on the bed and followed him out of the room.
"I can't believe your here! I thought some people from an orphanage or something took you. And judging by the fact that your code name is Multiple I think I need to throw out some pills," I said while walking down the hall with him.
He laughed as we continued to walk down the hall towards the stairs. "So what's your power," he asked as we started walking down the stairs. I suddenly got the feeling that something bad was about happen and pulled Jamie over towards the railing on the sides of the stairs. I kid shot past us and out the front doors.
"Well it's kinda complicated," I began as we started making our way back down the stairs, "I can make stuff with my mind. Like if I thought of a pencil in a certain place it would appear. I can make things disappear too. I also just know random things. Like… Someone here can control ice and their name starts with either a B or a D." "Iceman, also known as Bobby Drake. That's so cool," he replied right before tripping on the last step and doing a face-plant. Which made four more Jamie's appear.
I quickly helped him up and he absorbed the duplicates. "Yo Jamie, who's zhe new girl," someone shouted from behind us. I turned around and saw a kid covered in blue hair and had a tail and gold eyes. "Oh hey Kurt, this is Janie," Jamie replied. So his name is Kurt and I think he's a teleporter.
"You aren't frightened by my appearance," he asked with a confused tone. "No, should I be," I asked, equally confused. "Well, look at me," he replied while gesturing to himself. "I don't think it's right to judge people by their appearance. Is that a thing in Bayville or something," I asked. "Unfortunately," he sighed before teleporting with a bamf, leaving behind some navy blue smoke.
"Kurt's cool, he has quite the sense of humor too," Jamie said while turning around. I followed him into what looked like a kitchen. "This is the kitchen nook," he said while gesturing to the area around him.
He led me around the mansion and showed me where everything was. Surprisingly we didn't run into anyone. "Where is everyone," I asked him as we headed back to his room. "Well, I think Kitty and Rogue went to the mall, I'm not sure where Kurt is, Scott and Jean are at some party or something, Bobby, Amara, Rahne, Jubilee, Sam, Ray, Tabitha, and Roberto are training, Professor is in his office, Evan's at the park, Logan's leading the Danger room session, and Storm's probably in the garden," he replied.
We walked into his room and sat down on his bed. "So what happened to your mom," he asked, suddenly getting serious. "Well she went to Vegas to marry some guy who she just met and never came back," I sighed, "I also got a bill addressed to someone named Trevor Lawder for a giraffe-llama hybrid or something." He gave a light laugh at that.
I started laughing as I realized something. "What," Jamie asked with a confused smile. "Someone's gonna try and put hair dye in my shampoo, but there gonna prank the wrong person," I said in-between my spurts of laughter. Jamie started doubling over with laughter. We eventually stopped laughing and held our sides as we sat up. "Uh… I should probably go unpack," I said while standing up.
"M'kay," he replied. I walked out of the room and headed towards my own room. I got there and unpacked my clothes. All I have is a duffel bag full of clothes. I don't have anything in my messenger bag that needs to be unpacked. Well that was easy. I walked out of my room and headed back to Jamie's. I knocked on the door and it opened to reveal a duplicate. "Oh hey Janie," I heard a voice behind the dupe say. The clone walked back over to the real Jamie and absorbed into him.
Some of the duplicates were playing cards in the corner of the room and Jamie was sitting on his bed. I walked over and sat down next to him. "You unpacked quickly," he said while standing up and walking over to his clones. "I didn't have much to unpack," I reply with a shrug. "You wanna go play basketball," he asks while absorbing his clones. "One on one, no duplicates," I stated. "Fine," he sighed while walking towards the door.
Suddenly a basketball appeared in the middle of the room. "Where'd that come from," he asks while pointing at the basketball. "I don't know and I don't care," I replied while picking it up, "Let's go." We started walking down the hall and were greeted by some tired looking teenagers wearing matching uniforms. They were dragging their feet and complaining so much they didn't even notice us.
We walked down the stairs and were alms outside, but I have a feeling we might have to deal with something else first. The door opened to reveal to teenage girls carrying a ton of bags. "Hey Jamie, a little help," a girl with dark make up and clothes asked. "Sure," he replied while duplicating himself. The clones took the bags from the girls and ran upstairs.
"Well, were gonna go play basketball," Jamie said quickly while grabbing my arm and darting outside. We ran over to the side of the institute where the basketball court was. "Alright, first person to ten wins. No powers," he stated. We walked to the middle of the court and faced each other. "GO!" I stole the ball and dribbled down the court. I shot the ball and missed, but I rebounded.

"Okay, let's call it a tie," Jamie says while trying to catch his breath. I just nodded, also out of breathe. We start heading back to the mansion, at a much slower pace. We walk into the living room area and collapse on the couch. "We should get some water," Jamie sighs. "Make a duplicate do it or something," I reply. He claps and sends the duplicate to the kitchen.
a little bit later the duplicate comes back with to bottles of water. We take the water and practically chug it. Jamie absorbs his duplicate and lays down. "You wanna go swimming? We have a pool," he asks me. "Okay," I reply. "Go change, I'll meet you outside your room," he said while standing up. "M'kay," I replied before darting towards my room.
I got into my room and searched through a drawer for my swimsuit. I put on the black one piece before throwing on my black and blue swim trunks and dark blue swim shirt. I opened my door and saw Jamie standing there, his hand still in a knocking gesture. "Let's go," I said while pulling my hair back into a pony tail.
"Amara, Bobby, Tabby, Rahne, and Jubilee are going swimming too," he told me as we walked down the hall. "Is that good or bad," I ask. "It depends… Bobby likes to freeze the pool and the older kids tease me sometimes. Tabby likes to spoil me though so I guess it could go either way. I just nodded as we walked down the stairs. We walked through the mansion and out the back door.
The other people Jamie mentioned are already out here. There either swimming or lounging near the pool. Of course Jamie decided to take advantage of me not paying attention and pushed me in. I screamed as I fell into the water. I surfaced and pulled myself out of the pool, coughing up water as I went. Jamie slid into the pool next to me, laughing like crazy. "Not funny! I don't know how to swim. Your lucky were in the shallow end," I scolded.
He stopped laughing at that. "Sorry, I forgot," he apologized guiltily. "It's fine," I sighed, "Besides were gonna be even in about five seconds," I smiled, before tackling him and pulling him underwater, causing two duplicates to appear.. I eventually surfaced and Jamie absorbed the duplicates. "Hey Jamie, who's your girlfriend," a guy teased. I'm pretty sure that's Bobby. "She's not my girlfriend, Bobby," Jamie replied, sounding irritated, annoyed, and angry.
"Your that new girl the Prof. told us about, Jasmine or something like that," Bobby stated turning to me. "Her name's Janie," Jamie corrected. "Can Janie talk," Bobby asked. I just nod in response. "What's your power," he asks. "Take a guess, popsicle," I reply, using what I hope is his nickname, "By the way if your gonna put hair dye in my shampoo can you at least make it blue." "So your a telepath," he stated while swimming over to us.
I shook my head 'no' and smiled. "Wow your eyes are weird, but cool," he exclaimed once he got closer. My eyes are blue with specks of black, red, and purple. I didn't bother responding. "If your not a telepath, then what's your power," he asks confused. "I'll show you, close your eyes," I instruct. He closes his eyes and I grab Jamie and swim behind him. I then grab his shoulders and push him underwater, much to his surprise. We quickly swim away, snickering.
The other girls in the pool started laughing. "You little twerps! Get back here!," Bobby shouts while springing towards us. I quickly punched Jamie in the arm and five duplicates appeared. I jumped out of the pool, along with two duplicates and Jamie and the other three clones swam away. The other people in the pool were laughing their heads off as they watched the seen in front of them unfold.
Bobby started swimming after the Jamies in the pool, but kept going after duplicates. I sat down in one of the chairs by the pool next to a girl, I think she's royalty. I smiled as I watched as Bobby chased after the Jamies. Catching them only to have them disappear.
He seemed to realize that chasing Jamie was pointless and came after me. I tried running, but he froze the ground underneath my feet and I slipped. I smacked my head on the pavement as I fell and started getting dizzy. Bobby picked me up bridal style and threw me in the Deep end of the pool.
I landed in the water with a splash and sunk like a rock. The fact that I hit my head didn't help. I started going into panic mode when I realized I couldn't breathe. I started to hyperventilate, which wasn't good considering I was already choking on water. I felt something tug on my arm and looked over to see the blurry form of Jamie. He pulled me towards the surface and led me over to the side of the pool.
I quickly pulled myself out so that I was sitting on the edge of the pool. Jamie hopped out and sat next to me. "What's the big deal," Bobby shouted, "All I did was throw her in the pool." "She can't swim you idiot! That's why she stayed in the shallow end," Jamie shouted back angrily. "Oh… My bad," Bobby replied guiltily while scratching the back of his neck.
"Ya your bad," Jamie replied bitterly. I stood up and pushed Bobby in the pool. "I'll admit, that was petty, but it made me feel better," I stated. Jamie stood up and smiled, "That was awesome!"
I walked over to the shallow end of the pool and jumped in, Jamie repeating the action. "You alright," he asks. "I've had worse," I reply truthfully. An African American women who had white hair walked out wearing a one piece navy swimsuit. "Who's that," I whispered to Jamie. "Ms. Monroe, also known as Storm," he replied.
"Lovely day to go swimming. Isn't it Bobby," she asked Bobby while sliding into the pool. "Yeah sure," he replied. "You must be Janie, i'm Storm," she said while turning to me. "Nice to meet you Ms. Monroe," I replied. "How has your first day been so far," she asks. "Pretty good, well other than almost drowning," I reply. She started laughing, not realizing that I was serious about the whole 'drowning' thing. Jamie and I exchanged a look silently agreeing to avoid talking about it from now on unless it's necessary.
"You two seem to be getting along well," she stated. "Well, we knew each other before the institute," Jamie explained. "Really," she replied with a smile. We just nodded in response.
"Oh yeah, it's like a pool party out here," a voice behind us exclaimed. I turned to see Kurt and the girl from earlier walking towards the pool. Jamie, Janie, please meet me in my office. Wear your uniforms. Professor's voice echoed in my head. "Uh… the Professor needs us," Jamie told Storm before while getting out of the pool. I hopped out and started walking alongside Jamie.
We headed into the mansion and made our way down the hall to our rooms. Jamie stopped at a closet and pulled out two towels. He tossed me one and continued walking. I walked into my room and changed into the uniform, suit, thing. It was navy with a yellow belt, gloves, and boots. It also had red things on the sleeves that had black X's on them. The belt also had an X on it.
I quickly brushed out my hair and started braiding it as I walked out into the hall, closing the door behind me. I finished braiding my hair and tied it at the end with one of the bands around my wrist. I met up with Jamie in the hall and we walked to Professor's office. I noticed that all the uniforms were the same.
We knocked before entering the Professors office. We walked in and sat in the chairs across from him. "How have your days been going," he asks. "Good," we reply in unison. We give each other a look, but shrug it off. Professor Xavier chuckles slightly then continues, "Janie, I discovered that you have the ability to block telepath's ability to read your thoughts."
I just nod, processing the information. "I've made some plans for training and i've arranged for Storm to train with you two in about five minutes. I've also made up a schedule for you two. Since Jamie is no longer the only twelve year old i've decided to give you different training schedules. Janie, you will begin homeschooling with Jamie and hopefully we can catch you up," he explains.
We both nod in response. "That is all for now. Storm will meet you in the commons area. Oh and I almost forgot, you got a letter Janie," he told me while handing me an envelope. I took the envelope and stood to leave. I dropped the letter off in my room and headed to the commons area with Jamie.
We saw Storm waiting there. When she saw us she began instructing us.
~time~skip~after~training~lunch~changing~showering~
I'm sitting in my room, bored as heck.
I hear a knock at the door and tell whoever it is to come in. Jamie walks into my room, closing the door behind him, and sits on the bed. "What'cha doing," he asks. "Nothing," I reply. "What did the letter say," he asks. "I don't know, I haven't read it yet," I reply while picking it up off the nightstand. "Well read it then," he tells me. "Okay," I reply while opening the envelope.
I read the letter twice just to make sure i'm reading it correctly. "What's wrong," Jamie asks upon seeing my probably shocked expression. I look up to meet his concerned eyes, my own eyes filling with tears. "My mom's in a mental hospital and they're planning on sending her to prison," I reply quietly.
"I'm sorry," he replies while pulling me into a hug. I hug him back and cry silently into his shoulder. I eventually stop crying and pull away wiping any stray tears away. "You wanna go down stairs and watch a movie," Jamie asks me, "It might get your mind off the whole situation." "Sure," I reply while standing up. We walk out of my room and head to the kitchen nook.
We get to the kitchen and start popping some popcorn. "Have you been crying," Bobby's voice asks from behind me, "Do you miss your mommy and daddy," he asks while sticking his bottom lip out. "Shut up Bobby," Jamie defends. "How cute, the little twerp's defending his girlfriend," Bobby says to a guy behind him. "She's not my girlfriend were just friends," Jamie says while taking the popcorn out of the microwave. I grab two bottles of water from the fridge and set them down on the counter.
"I happen to know that you cried yourself to sleep every night for the first two weeks you were here. One difference though is the fact that i'm barely twelve, you were fourteen," I reply, causing Bobby to blush. The guy behind him started laughing. "So did you," I tell the guy laughing at Bobby, which caused him to stop laughing and blush also.
I high five Jamie and begin walking out of the kitchen nook towards the living room area after grabbing the bottles of water. We walk into the living room area and plop down onto the couch. "What movies do you guys have," I ask Jamie.
"You wanna just watch Jurassic Park," he asks while turning to face me. "Why not," I reply, "Besides, what's more fun than watching people get their heads bit off by dinosaurs." "Watching Bobby get punished my Mr. Logan," Jamie replied while getting up to put the movie in.
I giggle in response, imagining it. He sits back on the couch and pushes play on the remote. We just sit and watch the movie, making jokes when something stupid happens. Bobby decided he wanted revenge for earlier and snuck up behind us. He grabbed our shoulders and screamed. Jamie screamed and jumped up. I reacted differently, I might have ruined Bobby's pretty little face with my fist. That'll teach him to try and scare me. To be honest I knew he was gonna do that, I just really wanted to punch him.
I turned to Jamie and to see that he was trying not to laugh. I stood up on the couch so that I was about eye level with Bobby. I put my hand on his shoulder and got his attention, "You might wanna put some ice on that," I joked.
Jamie burst out laughing and I sat back down to continue watching the movie. I have a feeling whatever the future holds is gonna be ' interesting.'
