Tegan wondered how she got here.
She hadn't been at the Institute for a half hour and there she was, at the mall with a bunch of potential friends.
Jean and Scott went off somewhere, Rouge ditched, and Bobby and Amara stayed home. So now it was just Evan, Kurt and Kitty helping her pick out a bathing suit.
When Kurt turned on his hologram, making him look like a human, Tegan found herself disappointed. She thought he looked better blue. But she wasn't about to tell him that. What if he thought she was weird for saying it? But then again, why would a compliment on your true self be weird? But what if he didn't like his true self? But wait, why wouldn't he like his true self? It's so cute!
In the end Tegan decided to stop thinking about it.
"Why do we have to be here again?" Evan asked, obviously bored.
"Yeah, Kitty, not that it isn't fun and all…" Kurt said, a little sarcastically.
Kitty put her hands on her hips. "Because we need a boy's opinion! Now, Kurt, do you think Tegan would look better in a bikini or a one-piece?"
Kurt thought, Bikini, most defiantly, than he blushed madly, "I, uh, vell…" I can't say that out loud!
Tegan was blushing even harder, "Kitty! Don't ask him that!"
Kitty giggled. "Sorry, I, like, couldn't help myself. Why don't you try on both?"
When Kitty and Tegan went off to the dressing room, Evan chuckled. "Dude! You should have seen your face!"
"Vell vhat do you expect me to look like vhen asked a question like that?"
Evan leaned in and whispered. "You know, just for the record, I'd go for Bikini, what about you?"
Kurt nodded, blushing a little bit. "Same,"
"Okay," Tegan called. "I'm coming out now…"
Kurt nearly stopped breathing.
She was beautiful.
Tegan couldn't decide on what color, so Kitty picked out a white bikini with blue flowers, to go with her eyes.
Kurt found it hard to swallow.
He had already thought she was cute when he met her on the pool deck, even though it made him a little sad that she found his appearance startling, but her body was just…wow!
She was skinny, but not too skinny. She looked soft and Kurt wanted to hug her.
Tegan blushed under Kurt's gaze. He's just being polite, she thought, it's not as if he thinks you're beautiful!
But he did.
Evan elbowed him. "Dude!" he whispered, "Get your tongue in your mouth!"
Kitty clapped her hands. "You look perfect! You so have to buy that!"
Tegan retreated back into the dressing room. "Well, okay, if you really think so."
--*--*--
Tegan sighed and sat on her bed.
She was glad that the gang took her in like they did, but it also made her feel awkward. She was glad she had her own room to retreat to.
She picked up her cell phone and called Jake.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's me."
"Tegs! How's everything doing?"
Tegan shrugged, than realized she was on the phone. "I'm shrugging," she clarified.
"And I'm rolling my eyes. Seriously, what is it like?"
"Well, I met a few people. But I swear this one girl wants to kill me," she said, thinking about the unfriendly looks Rouge had giving her….but then again she looked like she did that to everybody.
"Now you're being over dramatic. So, did you blow them away with your weather power? Haha! Get it?"
Tegan smiled warmly into the phone. "Yeah, yeah. And I wish I could control the weather! I can only control wind, not rain and lightning and thunder and stuff. There is one person who can do that, though. I think she's the lady who met us at the door."
"Now that's cool, maybe she can help you with your powers if she can control air and then some!"
Tegan shrugged, then said, "I'm shrugging,"
"And I'm hugging you. I gotta go, Tegs, work calls to me."
"Yeah, yeah, just go already."
"Lurv you!"
"'Lurv' me?"
"Well, yeah! I'm not about to say 'I love you' to my sister, am I?"
"I love you too," Tegan said.
She hung up the phone and sat back….
Then she got that itch again.
It as a weird itch that she would get when she needed to do something or she'd go mad, so she thought she'd try out her powers.
She went into the woods around her mansion, thinking it was a nice spot to try that trick she'd been working on, so she took a deep breath, than she blasted air under her.
It was working for the most part, and Tegan felt an unbelievable rush, but then she saw how high up she was and panicked.
"Oh, no!" She screamed as she tried to get the air to do what she wanted. But the air just didn't want to listen to her today.
So she fell.
*MEANWHILE*
Kurt sighed as he did the dishes.
Tegan was so pretty, but Kurt was so…so…
"Blue," he sighed.
"What about blue?"
Kurt got startled by Scott as he entered the room. "Oh, uh, it's nothing. Just…ah forget it."
"No, tell me." Said Scott, being learderly/big brotherly.
"Vell, it's Tegan. I mean….I don't know vhat I mean! She's just so…you know."
"Uh…sure,"
"I just vant to get to know her better, she seems nice."
"Yeah, but she looks like sees being a little reckless,"
"Vhat?"
Scott pointed out the window. They watched as Tegan blasted herself up.
"It looks like she's trying to fly," Kurt said, amused by her cuteness.
"…And it looks like she's failing!"
They gasped as they realized she couldn't get back control and was falling.
"Oh, no!"
Kurt teleported.
Tegan screamed as she got closer to the ground, then suddenly there were strong arms around her, and then she was on the ground.
Tegan didn't open her eyes for a while. Instead she clung to her savior, her body shaking madly.
When she got control of herself she opened her eyes. Kurt's was staring into hers.
"Uh…a-are you alright?"
Tegan blushed madly. She stood up and backed away, than fell because her legs were still week from the rush of the freefall.
"I-I'm fine, but I'm sorry that you had to save me."
Kurt stood up. He didn't want her to be embarrassed about it. "No, no. It's alright, really. It vasn't any trouble."
Tegan was just too ashamed and embarrassed at her lack of control and that fact that she needed to be rescued, ran off, sending an extra burst of speed behind her so she'd go fast.
