I do not own the X-men evolution cartoon
As scott was assigned to make sure i was settled in he was walking the halls with me.
the Xaiver institute isn't as much of a high school as it seems, it's like a medevil high school in a castle and futuristic space school combined. On one hand it has Beautiful ordinate halls with carved wood panels and high celings and the most beautiful art and chandilers, and on the other hand under the dorms and all the main rooms there is a layer that's made of all silver and white metals that i can't figure out how to open most of the time.
In the lower layer there are high tech labs and medical rooms and something that scott call the danger room, and on the upper layer there are all the rooms and the commons that the kids use. And the kitchin that scott said i would see later, although i don't know if that had something to do with the shattering sound and shouting as we passed by.
It was then i realized that i had seen almost no one in the inter castle/school.
"Excuse me Scott?" i asked
he smiled down patronizingly and i smiled up innocently "Yes nic?"
"Well when will i meet someone?"
he frowned "well, some kids in this place can get kind of ecentric. Like really ecentric. And the professor thought that it would be a good idea to let you see everything before you saw the most frieghting part."
I laughed, "well i'm sold if you guys can figure out how to explain it to my parents. So who's first?"
he thought for a second. "Well Jean first then we can meet your new roommate. then we'll work our way up" i nodded.
we walked down one of the seemingly endless halls. He stopped suddenly and knock on a random door.
someone on the otherside ran to the door "scott?" she called before opening the door
"yeah hey there's someone you should meet." she opened the door and smiled up at him with big, bright green eyes...then she noticed me.
"Hi, I'm Jean Grey nice to meet you...?"
"Hello, my name is Nic, it's nice to meet you too."
"where are you from Nic?" she said then she looked above me what's her ability?
"well I'm from Utah, my ability is lighting stuff on fire with my hands, they get pretty hot. The professor gave me cool gloves to wear though."
"really, cool. How long have you had these abilities?"
"Uh, 7 hours now i think."
"wow, this must be pretty strange."
"I don't know i think it seems amazing, we all are around the people that get it you know? my parents are going to freak when they find out but miss Orroro said that the professor would talk to them, he seems really nice, so mabey they will listin."
"that would be great, If you ever need anything feel free to ask my door is going to be 7 doors down from yours so you can always reach me alright?"
"Great thanks Jean. See you soon, Its Hanks turn to night so dinner will be good."
"I hope so, See you!"
She closed the door. We started walking down the hall again, "she's really nice. How long have you two been together?" I asked.
"How'd you tell?" He asked looking down at me.
"Well in Utah a couple of my friends look at each other like you two do. It's very distinctive and it says "We are in love, and have know each other forever" as oposed to "I like them but don't want it to be weird if they say no", you two have clearly passed that stage so you've probably been together like, a year?"
"Nic, you are a sherlock, it's just about a year ago i first started going out with Jean and that's exactly how it started." He looked down.
We have passed the 6th door and i stoped. he looked at me for a second. "oh yeah, hey how'd you know i was going to this room?"
"Jean just told me, 7 doors down, and you said that my roommate was second so i assumed that she was in here." i told him.
"amazing" he whispered under his breath before knocking on the door. "Rogue, I've got your new roommate here, want to meet her?"
a very pail girl opened the door, her hair was cool, it was a dark pretty brown with white streaks on either side of her face.
"Hi, I'm Rogue." she said eyeing me.
"Hello, my name is Nic. I like your gloves." she looked down at my hands.
"Yours are pretty cool too. what do yours do?"
"Well my hands are really, really hot so they light stuff on fire, what about yours?"
"well threw skin contact ah automatically absorb the person ah touch, their powers, life force and memories."
"That's got to be a pain. But it's still way interesting."
She smiled, "hey Rogue would you mind taking Nic to meet everyone the professor wanted me back by now."
"Not a problem" she said hooking arms with me.
"Alright see you guys later," he walked away.
"Ah have you all to my self now, Muhaawwwhaaa!" Rogue said loudly.
"well my captor what are we doing first?" i said laughing.
"well, ah was thinking that those are probably your pjs am ah correct?" she asked looking me over.
"I left in a hurry" i said shrugging
"you wanna borrow some clothes?" she asked gusturing to her closet. I nodded vigorously.
she walked into the room and told me to do the same.
While she was rumaging threw her closet i walked around the room. She had pictures covering one or two surfaces. in no paticular order, some were photos that looked like mug shots of one guy, he had red hair and black and red eyes the rest were of normal looking teenagers. she pulled out an out fit and sung Ta da!
I walked over and looked at what she had picked out for me.
it was as simple as you could get. It was a purple t-shirt and black shorts. She gave them to me and i changed, the shirt was tight fitting but not too tight. the shorts were well fit aswell. Then came the accessories. She held out a pair of black mid-calf lace up cargo boots claiming that they didn't fit her but were well broken in.
I slid them over my feet, the fake leather felt like a cross of velvet and air cradling my feet. i never knew that combat boots could feel this wonderful.
She gave me something else, it was at least a dozen silver bangles. "try to put those on. they won't fit over mah hand"
they slid just over my hand and hung beautifully at my tiny wrists. "wait last touch!" she went to her dresser and lifted up a silver necklace with an inlane purple gem the same as the neon purple shirt. "It matches your eyes perfectly, keep it." i let her put it on me.
I threw my arms around her and then stood back "thank you so much Rogue! your like my big sister that i always wanted!" she laughed.
"well from now on, ah am" we started to head out the door when i stopped her. "Wait, how does the purple match my eyes? my eyes are Brown."
"well they look purple to me. Here ah'll let you see." she took me to a mirror, sure enough, my eyes were a bright piercing neon purple.
Rogue and i were in the commons me and scott had carefully avoided. We went and sat down at a table. i watched the kids my age messing around, they were a lively bunch i'll give them that. Rogue looked almost pained. i laughed when a boy came over and plopped down next to us, Rogue had tipped him from his chair before he had said a word.
"This is the creature the professor calls bobby, you two aren't likely to get along well" Rogue said.
"Why is that?" i asked.
"he makes ice and acts like a 2 year old." Bobby got up unfazed.
"Hi, you must be new what's your name?" he asked. Rogue rolled her eyes again.
"Hello, I'm Nic"
"nice to meet you"
"you aswell"
"POPSICLE!" a man snarled coming into the room. It was the man from the professor's office.
"oh no!" bobby whined.
The man waltzed up to our table.
"You froze the girls bathroom door shut?" he snarled at bobby. Bobby laughed it off. "there was no one in it!" he potested
"then why did tabitha have to blow the door down?" Bobby looked at his shoes.
suddenly the man noticed me. "oh, uh sorry stripes, and mini stripes, Nic right. didn't me to interupt." he stuck his hand out awquardly and i shook it. "Nic, and it's nice to meet you mr.?" "logan, i'm mr. logan. so are you the new mini Rogue?"
Rogue chimed in "Logan meet my new little sister" she said smiling
"so she has the same gloves, clothes, fashion sense, Does she have the same adittude?"
"well" i said "I'd like to think I have an adittude all my own if you don't mind"
he smiled and just said "See you around pip squeak, stripes." and left with Bobby in tow.
We left with everyone else for dinner. as we walked tward the dining room Rogue asked me "Hey i wonder what dinner is tonight."
"beef stroganoff." i awnsered. she looked over at me with an inquisative look. i shrugged, it just felt like someone made beef stroganoff, what ever that was.
we walked into the dining room, a large blue man was in a paper chefs hat and looked pleasantly suprised with himself. Hank. the man's name was Hank. i'm sure about it.
"my students, tonight for you i have made..." he did a fake drum roll with his tongue.
"BEEF STROGANOFF!" he announced. Rogue looked at me. "Nic? it sounds like your the only one Hank told, have you already met him?"
"So Hank is his name?" i asked and she nodded. "well i haven't met him yet but i just must have heard it in the hall or something."
she nodded to herself as we sat down.
Hank, the Chef set a plate for everyone and we all gathered our food. unfortunatly beef stroganoff is meat covered in it's fat, with rice or noodles. so TOTALLY not vegan friendly. Fortunatly there were grapes. i had a lot of grapes. Half way through the dinner logan, who was sitting across from me noticed. "hey Pip squeak," he said when it was moderatly quiet, "why aren't you eating, Hanks the best chef here, tomorrows Kurts turn and that will be a lot less apealing."
i smiled into my food politely and told him "well, I'm a vegan. And I don't eat wheat, because of Gymnastics, to many carbs aren't a good thing." i shrugged non chalantly and popped a grape into my mouth.
"why didn't you say something Nic, we have all kinds of fruit in the kitchin, we've even got vegtables, no matter how scarce they seem to be." Professor Xaiver told me. I smiled and said "really it's fine, I'm suprisingly not that hungery anyway, I think i'm still in shock" the proffessor smiled "alright but if you get hungery later help yourself."
I nodded my thanks and finished my grapes and water before leaving with Rogue to go back to our room.
That's it for now hopefully I'll post more soon. Special thanks to TeamEdmundandPeter and Blue is the Sea, you two are my first Reviewers, (i did a happy dance when you said you liked it, thanks) so if you want me to mention you all you have to do is tell me what you think (and please be honest, i try to fix any critisim) Thanks.
Ps the reason it took so long is because the first time i saved it, it disappeared so i had to rewrite it, the new chapters will probably be added faster than this one.
