Chapter 2. Settling in.
The rest of the ride on the Blackbird was uneventful for Odd and Aelita. Once they got there they were shown to a huge room that they would be sharing, Odd tied up Kiwi out side which she didn't like.
*Odd, Aelita come down stairs and meet everyone.* came the professor's voice in their heads.
"I'll never get used to that." said Aelita.
"Yep." said Odd.
The 2 girls walked out of the room and down the hallway, when they got to the stairs they saw the rest of the people they would be sharing a house with.
"Ah Odd, Aelita you're here. Well come and say hello." said the Professor.
An African-American boy with blond hair stepped forward.
"I'm Evan Daniels my X-name is Spike. Is your name really Odd?"
Odd rolled her eyes. She had gotten all of this before.
"Yes it is, it's a real name in Norway." she said.
"Evan don't be rude. My name is Ororo Munroe or Storm." said an African woman with white hair.
"I'm Scott Summers or Cyclops." said a man with red shades on.
"Hello." the girls said.
"So how about we go down to the danger room and see what your capable of." said Logan.
Odd and Aelita stood in the middle of the danger room floor in the skin tight suits that they lent them, the program started up. For Odd and Aelita the danger room suddenly turned into sector 5 and the cannons into Creepers, they smiled at each other.
Odd ran around the room dodging the cannons and arms that tried to grab her, she shot her arrows and brought up her shield to absorb some of the blasts. Aelita flew around using her energy fields and singing to create things to block the cannons with. After 5 minuets they were forced to stop.
"Wow!" said Kitty.
"Vere did you learn how too do zat." said Kurt.
"Err, our secret." said Odd.
"It was like you already knew how to use your powers." said Scott with a hint of distrust in his voice.
Aelita picked up on this.
"Well I'm tired out from that and the time difference. Let's go to bed." she said then grabbed Odd's arm and they took off to their room.
Later that night in the professor's study there was a knock at the door.
"Come in Logan." said the Professor.
Logan entered the room and sat down on a chair.
"I presume you're here to talk about Odd and Aelita." he said.
"Yeah. Those moves the girls pulled off especially Odd were too good for someone who's just got their powers, they knew exactly what powers they had and how to uses them. And the way Odd and Aelita moved told me that they've had plenty of practice with their powers and that sort of situation." said Logan.
"Indeed, I saw this also."
"Are you sure their powers have only just manifested?"
"Absolutely sure. The question remains is, where did they get training for powers they didn't even have yet?"
"Maybe it has some link to what Odd has drawn in her artwork."
"Well in her artwork she did look similar to what she does now, in her drawings of Aelita she did draw her ears and wings as they are now."
"Just what have those 2 been through?"
"We shall just have to wait until they trust us with what ever secrets they hold."
It was time for Odd and Aelita to go to Bayville high and they were excited, the Professor had given Odd a holo-watch so she wouldn't have to keep on hiding behind her clothes. Odd and Aelita went to see principle Darkholme once they got into school, needless to say you didn't want to get on her bad side.
"Here are your schedules and I expect you 2 to behave." said Miss Darkholme.
"Yes Miss." the girls chorused.
Once the 2 were gone from her office Principle Darkholme's skin turned blue, her hair red and her clothes changed into a white dress. The now Mystique called Todd Tolanski (Toad) into her office.
"Xavier has 2 new arrivals, Odd Della Robbia and Aelita Stones, at his school. I want you and the rest of the Brotherhood to find out about them, see how much of a threat they are going to be." she said.
"Okay yo. But what do they look like?" he said.
"It should be easy for even you. Odd Della Robbia is dressed in purple and had blond hair with purple in the middle and Aelita Stones has pink hair."
Todd met up with the other members of the Brotherhood in the lunch room and told them what Mystique had told him.
"I'll run circles around them." gloated Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver).
"Well now's your chance, 2 girls fitting the description just came in." said Lance Alvers (Avalanche).
The boy's just stared as a girl dressed in purple with long blond hair in a pony tail and a purple streak in the middle and a girl with pink hair entered together. As they walked to the lunch line they attracted the attention of all the boys in the room, nether of the girls seemed to notice this though as they just continued walking and talking with each other. When it came to Odd's turn in the lunch line she asked for more and when the lunch lady said no she put on a puppy dog face until the lunch lady had yielded, the Brotherhood watched as Odd in record time eat down all the food with no problem.
"Xavier's just recruiting more weird people every time." said Freddy Dukes (Blob).
Aelita and Odd were walking home from school and decided to hit the shops to see what there was, well more Aelita since she was more into shopping than Odd was.
Odd sat down on a bench while Aelita went to visit more shops, she saw she had sat down next to a girl dressed up like a Goth.
"Hi." Odd said.
"Hi." she replied back in a southern accent.
"So what's your name?"
"You can call me Rouge."
"Yes finally someone else who has their name used in a different way."
"Really and what's your name, I haven't seen you around."
"Odd, and before you say anything it's a real name in Norway. And me and my friend Aelita just moved here."
"So you here alone?"
"No, Aelita just decided to check out the shops here and I got dragged along. What about you why are you here alone."
"I'm not really a people person. Let's just say when people get near me they get hurt."
"So you'r t?"
"Are you?"
"Yep. Wouldn't be here if I wasn't."
"You with Xavier? Because if you are I'm not going with you."
"Relax. I'm not going to do any of that, just because the X-men constantly tell you to join them doesn't mean I will. Just because we're on different sides doesn't mean we can't be friends."
"Yeah what if it comes to us having to fight each other?"
"Listen I know more about fighting my own friends than you probably ever will, I've even had my own parents try to kill me."
"What!?"
"It's not as bad as it sounds. Someone was controlling them, and my friends did stop who was controlling them in time."
"So was it a mutant with a grudge against you?"
"You could say that."
"Odd time to go." call Aelita as she ran to them.
"Coming Aelita. See you around." shouted Odd and met up with her pink haired friend.
"So who was that?" asked Aelita.
"Just someone who needs a friend which will listen." said Odd.
"Oh. Well that's me spent."
"That reminds me, I have an older cousin called Jake living somewhere near here. I'm sure I can convince him to give us a job."
"Okay let's go."
Odd climbed up to their window while Aelita flew, they had stayed out late because they had lost track of time talking to Odd's cousin. They had easily slipped past the defences of the mansion by Aelita just flying them both over them, Odd slipped her claw into the lock of their bedroom window and unlocked it. They had thankfully found out that the constant battling on Lyoko not only protected them from being possessed by XANA in the real world but it also stopped the Professor and Jean from getting into their minds unless the 2 girls wanted them to, so they knew as they snuck in that the Professor wouldn't be able to sense them entering.
"We're going to be in so much trouble in the morning." whispered Aelita.
"Yeah we'll tell them we were visiting Jake but not about the Job. I don't think they would approve of how late in runs." whispered Odd.
They quickly and quietly changed into their pyjamas and got into bed, it was only 10:27 at night but they didn't want a run in yet and they were still getting used to the time difference.
As Odd fell asleep unknown to her, her eyes began to glow white.
What's happening to Odd?
You'll just have to find out next time.
Ideas people, I need them. If I use any of your ideas I'll be sure to give you props.
