Time Zone part 2
Hey there! Thanks to Monotone for reviewing! If you want a shout out, review! Here's part 2!
Marshall's POV
My chest hurt like the devil himself sent Hell's fire upon it. My head pounded, while blackness still laced itself across my vision.
My eyes felt like a ton of bricks were rested upon them as I tried to open my eyes.
The first thing I saw was a bright light. I had to immediately shut my eyes tightly again.
The first thing I felt was the blanket beneath me. The cushion under my head.
My eyes flew open and I sat up straight, instantly regretting it as a sharp stab rippled under my skin. I gasped and lifted my hand to my chest, feeling bandages there. I ripped off the bandages. Panic bubbled in my chest and up my throat. My eyes shifted around the room, landing on the door in the corner.
I put my feet on the floor, and stumbled across the room. I threw the door open and was met in the face of a young man with brown hair and knowing brown eyes.
"It's okay," he said before I could do anything, "I'm Charles Xavier." He said extending him hand.
I shook hands with him. A weird jolt shuffled through my arm crawling like serpents over my bone. I winced as images popped into my head.
'I don't want to know.' I thought. I already know what it was that was happening to me. I guess the best way to describe it is that I see that person's past and future by touching them. It's the strangest feeling in the world. If you've ever had a sore muscle before and that muscle is so tired that the muscle ripples, then you know what it feeling like. Not the best feeling in the world.
Charles got a strange look in his face as I winced.
"Marshall Anderson." I said, letting go of his hand, "May I ask what year it is?" I asked suddenly, looking around and noticing that everything looked like something from my grandparents house.
Charles looked at me funny, almost as if to say I was crazy or something. "Why of course, it's 1962." Confusion laced through his eye brows.
'Shit.' I thought. Last I checked it was 2011. 'Obviously, I can step through time.' I put my hand to my head, suddenly feeling dizzy. I knew it was shock, but Charles placed his hands on my shoulders to help steady me.
He didn't realize, but he was making it worse. Images of his life swirled into my head, filling me with knowledge of his past. I pushed his hands away and stepped back a step.
"You can read minds?" I asked suddenly, my mouth working without my knowledge.
"How did you know that?" He asked, his eye brows pinching together once again. I tried to explain to him about me seeing images when I touch people, but trying to not give away too much. I didn't get why he didn't just read my mind about it. He nodded as if understanding.
"No touching, got it. Come, I'll introduce you to the rest of the team." Charles said. I had no choice, but to follow as he turned and started walking down the hall.
"This is Erik and Raven," Charles said introducing me to a rough, angry looking man with a lighter brown hair color and brown eyes. He looked as if he had a contract with the devil. In difference, Raven was so much nicer. Her blond hair billowed behind her and her brown eyes sparkled in the light.
I didn't want to seem strange, so I shook hands with Erik and Raven. Erik being a... metal 'bender' shall I say and Raven was a shape shifter and had a natural blue form.
"How long was I out?" I asked.
"Only a few hours." Charles said. I thought it was something like that. Usually when I'm hurt, I'm out for awhile.
"I'm surprised your up and walking already." Raven laughed.
"I heal quickly." I said with a small smile.
"So where are you from?" Erik asked. I hesitated. Year or actual location?
"Virginia, year 2011." I said. They all looked surprised as I said the year.
"How did you end up here?" Erik asked the question I'm sure everyone was thinking.
"I don't know." I said shrugging.
Charles's POV
I knew something was up with this girl the minute she open the door ten minutes ago. It was like she had an invisible barrier around her mind. Blocking anyone trying to get in. No matter how much I tried I couldn't get in.
Marshall winced as we shook hands. I was so confused until she told me about seeing pasts and futures of those she touches. I get that part, but I don't get why I can't read her mind. It scares me to know that she's like Shaw. I can't get I no matter how hard in try.
What frightened me the most was finding out that she's from the year 2011.
Was that even possible to time travel that far into the past? And to be hurt while doing it? It amazes me to even consider the thought.
There's more to Marshall than she knows... I can tell you that much...
Not much of a cliff hanger and it's really boring... I know, I get it. Just stick with me and hopefully it'll get better! REVIEW PLEASE!
