Hallu! OiThamTham is back and guess what?! I got a review! Happy day. I'm not going to lie to you I would have wanted more but one is better than none, and TristeAlma is the greatest (I'm answering your questions in the next paragraph)! Also I would like to apologize for the slowness of my chapters and the difficult diction. I am trying really hard to make this an easy read so please just bare with me. Plus do you think its going a little too fast? Am I doing a good job with Kurt's accent? Let me know your opinion on the story, it and I are only here to please you.
TristeAlma: Thank you oh so much for reviewing. I must say I was starting to panic think that my story sucked since no one took out the time to review. You are the sole reason to why I updated today. But to answer your questions, well you see I guess I did make it weird when I called Carli a "Super Nova" and thinking everyone could automatically know what I meant. Please forgive me but anywho Carli has control over fire and she can set her whole body a flame. When she does this she becomes hotter than, well, a super nova star. Does that make sense? Also, yes Amari is a shape shifter but like the first sentence in this chapter will tell you she can only shape shift into felines...the big kind. You know, like tigers, lions, pumas, jaguars, and etc. And you are dead on with Renee's powers she is indeed an empathetic (its actually cleared up somewhat in this chapter) and she creates force fields, rather weak ones though. So there you go, if you have anymore to ask please don't hesitate to ask. Oh! Please keep reviewing! :)
Disclaimer: I only own Amari, Renee, and Carli, everything else is Marvel's claim. I can take credit for practically nothing. Boo Hoo.
Chapter Two
Thursday, November 12
6:35am
"ugh." groaned the now conscious feline shape shifter as her deep green eyes opened to only be blinded by the bright lights on the ceiling. The surrounding sterile looking white walls and uncomfortable bed made her body ache and mind numb. As she went to rub her pounding headache she felt restrictions, looking to her side she found her wrist bound by straps to the railings of the bed. Both her wrist were in this condition, and when she leaned forward as much as she was allowed to she found her ankles to be in the same condition. Panicking, Amari began to kick wildly, tugging both wrists outward, grunting and screaming as she tried to get free. 'Why am I tied up? Where am I-'
"Voah! Voah! Be still. Here let me." 'There goes that scent again' thought Amari snapping her head to the right when two peach toned hands reached across her to untie her left hand. What she saw was something she was not quite expecting, not that she is exactly positive of what it is she was expecting.
Above her stood a boy who had to be her age or a year older, he possessed the most handsome face Amari has ever encountered, perfect bone structure, high cheekbones, a sloped nose, an angled chin, and enticing thin lips. He was the prime example of what Greek Gods aimed to look like. His shoulder length black locks, with a tint of blue, tickled Amari's nose and brushed past her cheeks as she strained to look at his eyes. His eyes were the darkest shade of blue, not enough to be mistaken for black but dark none the less. When Amari looked at them she was reminded of the ocean at night during a storm, she could practically feel the harsh cool winds and rain as the waves furiously moved along the horizon.
But before she could get lost in her musing Amari was brought back to reality and remember the current situation she was in as the mysterious boy moved down to her left ankle. "Where am I? Why am I tied up? How long have I been out? Where are my sisters?" Questions just spilled out of her mouth as the boy finished both ankles and went to her right wrist. At first there was silence like he wasn't going to answer her as he concentrated on the straps but when Amari cleared her throat and he met her gazed he stopped mid way in undoing the knot and slowly answered.
"Uh. Vell, um. You are at Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters, ve tied you up vhen you started to kick und thrash around after ve got back and vey took you vom me. Du have only been asleep for zee night und your sisters are vine. No need to vorry vey are down stairs having breakfast." He smiled brightly in Amari's direction as he continued to undo what was left of her straps. "Oh, alright. What are 'gifted youngsters' exactly?" Amari asked narrowing her eyes at the boy who was freeing her wrist, "Vey are like du und me. Mutants." he answered once he had finally freed her right wrist and she swung her legs over the side of the bed sitting up. They were now facing one another, she sitting along the side of the bed and he occupying a chair that was positioned quite close to the bedside, so close that his knees were knocking the railings of the bed.
The boy had never let go of Amari's wrist even after she sat up, she noticed this but did not really find any harm in it, she quite enjoyed it actually. It had been so long since she interacted with the opposite sex and she was not about to ruin it now, especially since he was cute and smelled impossibly good... which confused her. That strong scent from last night was emitting off of him in waves, but he could not have been there last night, she would have remembered seeing someone as delicious as him. All she could recall was the scent and blue. Everything was so hazy. Sure his hair was tinted blue and his eyes were blue but it could not be him. 'Everything was blue last night.'
Amari slowly leaned in and sniffed the side of his face, her nose gently tracing along his cheek, she felt him instantaneously stiffen up so she pulled back. Fearing that she had done something wrong she quickly began to study him trying to commit everything that was him physically to memory before he got up and left her, deeming her weird or a freak. 'It wouldn't be the first time.' she thought exasperatedly, but he never stood up or let go of her wrist. He just sat there and stared at her. Minutes had gone by in silence until Amari decided to ask "Who are you?" her eyes shifted a little due to her embarrassment.
He blinked once, twice as if he was breaking from a spell of some sorts then he laughed nervously, "Kurt." Amari simply nodded her head, "Amari" she breathed out, as a fair trade, and before she could say anything else he quickly withdrew his hands from her wrist and looked in the opposite direction, his cheeks glowing with a light pink hue. Bewildered Amari was about to reach out for his hand, oddly feeling the need to touch him, to have a connection, but before she could he swiftly hopped up looked at his watch and stammered out, "I have to go. I just vanted to check up on du before I vent to school. I'll zee du later." And with that he quickly left the room , glancing back at her confused gaze as he closed the door. Both of them experiencing a slight tug in their chest as he furthered the distance between them and made his way outside, searching for Scott and his car.
Amari just sat there in the cold and blindingly sterile room , alone staring at the closed door then gazing at the once occupied chair, then softly she whispered, "See you later..., Kurt." Her lips slightly curved up at the ends, she liked the way her voice sounded when she spoke his name.
7:15pm
"Hey Kurt, Buddie where were you for breakfast, man? It ain't like you to skip out on a meal." questioned Evan as he and his blue companion sat down in Chemistry. The Chem. teacher was droning on about ions and molecules as the settled down. Breaking from his daze at Evan's voice Kurt sighed and answered, "Veah, I vas vith zee new girl in zee infirmary." Evan raised an eyebrow at this bit of information as a coy smirk tugged at his lips. Wagging his eyebrows suggestively he commented back, "Trying to get in with the new broads I see. The blue man is already back in business! I knew you wouldn't stay down for too long." Kurt just replied with a half-hearted laugh, he really did not want to think about Amanda at that moment. "Tsh. I can't blame you though. That one chick is hot, a bit wild but hot none the less." continued Evan as Kurt began to zone him out, he really did not need to be told how hot Amari is, he was more than aware of how hot... goregeous she was. Even her name made him swoon, especially the way she let it roll off her tongue, and how her full lips formed the syllables. Just watching her say something so simple made Kurt weak, he wanted to just attack her with his own pair of lips right then and there, he even imagined it which was why he had to leave so quickly. He was extremely ashamed for thinking such things about a girl that he has only known of for a few hours. 'Itz just not vight.'
9:30am
About an hour or so back Amari had gathered enough strength to leave the disturbing sterile room and made her way halfway down the hallway when she ran into a blue beast of a man. At first she thought he was the one she had met last night, which scared her because that meant she had the hots for a man who was old enough to be her father. That's just sick. But upon further inspection she found this man to have a different scent, completely off from her personally heroine, Mary Jane if you would. This blue beast, Dr. McCoy was his name, told her that he had built a set of clothing especially for her so when she "morphed", his words not hers, they would not rip and would be present when she changed back. This excited Amari, now she didn't have to worry about that nasty nude dilemma she always faced. Then he asked her a few basic questions about her age, if she had any medical problems or allergies. And once she had answered them all; 16, no, penicillin, she grabbed the new and improved clothes from him and bolted to the nearest bathroom where she hastily discarded the white cover up hospital gown.
The outfit fit her like a second layer of skin, it consisted of some all black boy shorts with an 'x' symbol on the left hip and a bra like top that all black as well save for the green stripes down the side. Now at first Amari thought it was quite odd and revealing but then she considered the fact that it was a battle outfit, like the others had the other night when she fought them. So then she accepted it knowing that more times then not she would be in her animal forms anyway but for now she put the dreaded whit gown back on till she could find some suitable apparel.
Now Amari was following her nose to the kitchen where she picked up the mouth watering scent of fresh raw meat, did she mention fresh? 'It has been too long' she thought as she pulled open the fridge and devoured the meat in almost three bites, washing it down with water. Smacking her lips she lightly joked to herself as she held up the empty glass, "N-now th-that's what I call hi-high quality H2O."
'That darn Bobby Booshay' she thought chuckling as she walked into what she could only guess was a living room and was met with the sight of her two sister's watching TV.
Renee was the first to notice Amari's presence and ran up to her sister and tightly embraced her, "Oh Amari! you are finally awake! I'm so glad." she beamed as Amari squeezed her back. "Geez Renee you act as if I have been out for months or something." groaned Amari, "It felt like you were." pouted Renee crossing her arms over her almost non-existent chest, causing Amari to laugh. "Ahem." Carli cleared her voice as she slowly approached Amari, her eyes were a bit downcast. "Good to see your awake," Carli started nervously rubbing her arm while looking to the side at a fascinatingly cream paint peeling wall, Amari raised one eyebrow at such odd behavior. "Carli?" "Look. Amari I'm sorry about last night. What I said to you. My actions were uncalled for and I'm sorry." Carli rushed out as she looked Amari in the eyes.
For a second Amari was simply speechless, never in her life had she witness Carli apologize for her actions, she almost did not know how to respond but she gained her composure and put forth a lazy smile, "Eh. Carli don't worry about it. It's normal for sisters to do such things, our powers just make our fights seem more savage than it actually is. No sweat." Amari lazily shrugged her arms and then hugged her big sister, but quickly pulling back. Neither we real big on touching. "Thanks Mari" Carli breathed with a small smile of her own, "Ohhhh. I can just feel the love!" chimed in Renee as she hugged both of her sisters. "By the way Amari" Renee said turning towards Amari in the little triangle the sisters had created, "The top man around here, Professor Xavier, he wants to speak with you about our living arrangements." 'Living arrangements? We are staying?' Amari thought confused and Renee picking up on this confusion quickly chirped, "Oh yes yes yes. He is letting us stay! Carli is fine with it too. Can you believe it?! They are housing us, feeding us, and paying to let us finish school!"
Renee's child like joy tickled Amari as she watched her bounce up and down, "Alright alright. Calm down there kid. Where is this Professor?" Suddenly Renee stopped and a she wore a deeply concentrated face until it turned sour, "How am I suppose to know? I'm a empathetic not human tracker!" "He is in the room beyond that door right there." answered Carli after she snorted at Renee's frustration, "I saw him go in there." "Thanks." replied Amari as she made her way across the room and into the one beyond the door.
11:02am
Throughout the rest of the fourth hour Kurt just sat in his seat letting his mind wander to a certain light haired brunette who had the ability to be a vicious tiger and take his breath away, and Evan, after noticing that Kurt was paying him no mind, was actually trying to learn something. Shocker Shocker. But as soon as the bell rang Evan sprang out of his seat and was halfway out the door when he noticed Kurt was not beside him, turning he found him still in his seat staring out the window. "Come on blue man. It's lunch time and today is Taco Tuesday." he coaxed Kurt which worked because before two seconds had passed Kurt had gathered all his books and was making his way towards the cafeteria, "Vell, vhat are du vaiting on? Move move move."
Once Kurt made it to the table where all of the Xavier kids shared he was quickly thrown into the present conversation. "Kurt! Tell me, like do you really think it's fair that I can't attend Duncan's party because I'm like, a freshman?" questioned Kitty as Kurt sat down in his usual seat between Scott and Rogue. "Uh. Duncan iz having a party and zee fuzzy man vasn't invited?" Kurt asked in mocked horror as Kitty grumbled something along the lines of: "No help what so ever." "Yeah he is and all those Sophomore and up are invited." answered Jean as she took a sip from her water bottle. "Ja! Party! Vhen iz it?" "Tomorrow at 9. So I'm thinking we will all meet up and mine and Jean's car at 9:30. Don't want to be uncool and seem anxious to be there." informed Scott as he finished off his taco. "This is what I'm talking about!" cheered Evan, "I'm going to pick me up some chicks for sure this time." "Gah! you are such a caveman, I swear." growled Kitty before she turned back to Jean.
"Please Jean can I come. No one will even be able to tell I'm a freshie." she began to plead until Jean finally gave in, "I guess so. But no immature acts ok? We do not need the whole school-" But before Jean could even finish she was being glomped by kitty on the ground.
'Hm. I vonder if Amari vould like to go?' though Kurt with a slight blush as the background music of Kitty's rapid fire thank yous met Jean's grunts from the struggle to get her off.
11:35am
Amari had to admit, this Professor dude was not what she made him out to be. She had pictured a middle-aged man, about 6'2" with a muscular build and a goatee adorned in a Louis V. suit sipping on some scotch, not a bald man in a wheelchair, but he was friendly enough plus he was a telepathic, how cool.
Professor Xavier had informed Amari on the conditions her sisters and him had met if they were to stay and he also filled her in with a little background on the methods, such as the Danger Room, they use to help mutants gain better control of their powers. This impressed Amari a lot, she couldn't wait to get started. He also gave her the key to her new room, though he failed to tell her where it was, he must have a lot on his mind, and he gave her a schedule for the classes she will be in when she starts school at Bayville High come next week.
"Thank you Professor. You do not know how much this means to me and my sisters." Amari said with a huge smile on her face as she got up to leave. "No, thank you. I am so glad that you three have chosen to stay. Goodbye." replied the bald man with a smile of his own and then Amari was off.
About half an hour had gone by and Amari was still wandering, in the hunt to find her room. 'Gah. This place is huge!' she was completely lost, and as she slide down the nearby wall she scolded herself from not picking up a directory, if they have one. During her miniature sulk moment her nose picked up that scent that can only be summed up into one word, "Kurt?"
Hastily Amari hopped up and started making her way down the hall till she got to the third to last room on the left. The smell was coming from inside, without even considering her manners and being polite Amari simply walking in.
The whole room was covered with the smell making Amari go semi-lightheaded, "It's like Heaven." She slowly took in everything, the room was a very decent size, it consisted of a balcony which made it seem even bigger. Kurt must not like to decorate a lot though because the room was somewhat bare save the bed, dresser, nightstand, and a few pictures of him and his family. 'Just like a boy.' chuckled Amari rolling her eyes as she made her way towards a door that she guessed leads to his closet.
Inside she found rows and rows of various pants/jeans, v-necks, sweaters and button up tops. With a cry of glee she quickly took the white gown off and dug out a pair of semi green pants that drug to the ground a bit and flared out around her feet but the waist line was a snug fit and she also put on a blue button up collared top that barely hit the waist line of the pants, slightly showing off Amari's smooth and even mid-drift. She felt comfortable to say the least. 'So soft.' she ravished pulling out a sweater and sniffing it. "Hmmmm"
Amari then zig zagged her way towards Kurt's still messy bed, the feeling of cold fluffy material touching her hot bare skin made Amari's head whirl and she started to realize just how tired she still is. Curling up into a ball and holding one of Kurt's sweaters in one hand and clutching his pillow in another Amari swiftly went to sleep, dwelling in the pleasant aura the engulfed her.
2:15pm
As soon as the final bell rang Kurt did not even bother to wait for Scott to drive them home, he just teleported straight there. After a few jumps Kurt found himself in front of the Institutes door, he took one step through the door and stood there looking around, waiting as if he was expecting someone to meet him at the door. "Aye elf. Why you just standing there?" asked Logan as he made his way out of one of the formal rooms. "Uh, no reason really Mister Logan." "Mhmm. sure Bub. She was last seen by Professor just to let you know." "Vho?" "The one with the anger issues." "How did du know?" "Kid, you're like a billboard." and with that Logan left to go to the gym area while Kurt went to find the Professor.
The Professor had told Kurt that she had went off to find her room which is conveniently placed next to his. As Kurt made his way towards Amari's room he was stopped at his door for a few reasons. One, the door was ajar even though Kurt was quite certain he had closed it when he left, two, there was even deep breathing emitting from inside, and three, on the floor there was an abandoned white hospital gown.
"Vat in zee world?" Kurt walked in his room to find his messy bed occupied by a female wearing his clothes. As he got closer to the girl he suddenly realized who it was, "Amari?" Once her name left his lips her body tensed up and she quickly looked up at him and jumped out of his bed. His quizzical gaze made her even more embarrassed as she fidget with the bottom of his shirt she was dressed in. This action quickly got Kurt's attention and his gaze faltered from Amari's pink face to her delicate hands that lightly brushed across her lower stomach just a little past her navel. The sight of her evenly toned mocha skin glistening in the room's lighting made Kurt gulp with discomfort. Her skin look so soft, velet almost, his hands could just graze along, not that he is actually thinking about doing that or anything... Then thoughts suddenly bombarded Kurt's mind with images of his large peach hands roaming of the plains of creamy light brown skin accompanied by Amari's lovely voice chanting his name over and over and- "Kurt?" Amari questioned breaking Kurt from his trance, he pulled at his collar to cool a bit down as he met her pleading gaze.
Amari was now standing right in front of Kurt looking at him with slight amusement. As they both stood there silently, Kurt took the opportunity to take Amari in. The first thing he realized was that she was tall, if the were standing side by side he was quite sure she would either be his height or a half an inch taller that is unless you count her hair then she could possibly be three inches taller. Her light brown curly locks stuck out all over the place on her head, they fell down a little past her shoulders like the water in a waterfall, and every time she moved her head they bounced ever so slightly. She possessed a small sloped nose, full lips that gave a light red hue, and beautiful almond shaped forest green eyes that clashed with her complexion impeccably. Amari had a thin hourglass shaped figure, small waist, modest bust, and slightly wide hips followed by toned thighs. Kurt knew when to appreciate raw beauty and right now he was doing just that, he could practically worship her. 'She iz one of God's greatest masterpieces.' he thought as he watched her moved about in her spot in an anxious manner.
"Hey um I am so sorry for bombarding in your room and then of all things falling asleep in here! You must think I'm some freak." she began. This caught the blue boy off guard, how could she ever think that he would think of her any less than that of a Goddess? "Nein Nein. I think no such thing. Itz alright, I don't mind." "Oh." Amari responded as she hastily turned around and began to fix his bed, "Well in that case at least let me make up your bed for you."
In her frenzy she failed to see a key and piece of paper fall from the sheets and onto the floor, so Kurt being the gentleman that he is picked both up. His eye caught interest on the paper when he saw that it was a schedule for classes at Bayville. But that wasn't what surprised him the most, on the paper it showed that Amari had almost all of the same classes with Kurt save for three. 'She iz my age?!' Kurt's eyes widen, he could have sworn she was older than he, by at least two to three years.
"Hey thanks for picking those up for me." thanked Amari as she took them from his hand and stepping back towards the now neat bed. "Du are sizteen?" Kurt asked as he watched Amari put up his sweater, "Oh um yeah. I am. Why?" Kurt blushed a deep red as he uttered, "I thought du vere college bound. Du look... mature und all." Amari's highly trained ears picked up on his low confession and she could not hold back a laugh. "Yeah. I get that a lot. So don't be too embarrassed over it." she smiled his way causing an awkward stir to take place within in Kurt's stomach.
"Vould du like to go to a dance tomorrow?" blurted out Kurt before he could stop himself surprising not only himself but the curly haired girl before him. She just sat there looking at him with amused and confused eyes , "That's really random of you." Kurt inwardly groaned, 'Vhat am I thinking? Of course she vouldn't vant to go.' "Du know never mind, it vas dumb of me to ask-" "No! no no no no no! Don't say that. I would love to go. It's just you caught me off guard is all." Amari insisted as she gently laid her hand on his shoulder. Kurt beamed at her words and the fact that she was touching him, "Vhat's great!" "Mhmm. But I have a question." "Ja?" "Uh..." Amari did not know how to put this, first off her pride was somewhat holding her back from asking him and she was also afraid that he would reject her request but none the less she asked, "Since you know, I don't know many people and all. Actually I only know you and my sisters, can I. You know. Hang with you at the party?" "Ja. Sure du can. I'm where zee party's at anyvays." Kurt joked as he tried to put on his best party/flirty face which earned a giggled from Amari as well as a squeeze on his shoulder.
Kurt watched how her face crinkled in the cutest way when she laughed showing off her dimples, she was just so wow. Then once she had calmed down she smiled saying, "I'm sure you are." Then she let go of his shoulder and made her way towards the door. He watched her pause there, her hand wrapped around the knob as she turned towards him, "Later, Kurt." And with that she was gone, leaving Kurt alone in his room blushing the deepest shade of red there is as he fell onto his bed sighing dreamily, he really likes the way she says his name.
Hit me up on your opinion, everything goes.
