The Meet

Chapter 2: The Wrong Thoughts

Louise lands on something hard, with an edge that stabbed her spine and that made a loud THUD sound.

'OOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!' Louise thought painfully.

At a mansion, everyone heard a THUD coming from their door. Kitty became surprised and said, "What was that?"

Beast, hearing the sound as well, answered, "It is coming from outside."

Scott added, "Let's go investigate, then!"

So everyone went to the front door and was shocked at what they found. They found a body of a girl with blood on her head, arms, and legs, and she looked like she survived a fire from the burn marks on her body.

"Wow," Scott, Kitty, Kurt, Rogue, and Jean said in shock.

"She's completely injured. We have to help her somehow!" Beast said to everyone.

"Can I help?" Kitty asked.

"Well...alright," Beast said, "You and Tom can carry her to the medical ward."

"Thanks, Beast," Kitty said in a bright mood.

As Kitty and Tom, a 12 year old with division powers, carried the limp body to the infirmary, Kitty whispered to the girl, "You might not hear me, but you can trust us. We can help you through your situation."

In Louise's head, she thought, 'I trust you. Thanks for helping me.'

Louise had a nightmare while she was out. It was about what had happened when she was 6, when her parents died, the commitment of revenge on the killer, and what had happened with the blast. She could still feel the pain and see her sister flying in another direction. 'Sis!' Louise remembered.

She woke up with a gasp. The memories were too painful to keep remembering, except that there was a surprise. There were two people: one of them had long white hair, and she was reading a book; the other one had blue fur, and he was looking at a chart.

The blue-furred person looked at Louise and said, "Well, you're awake. You're Louise, right?"

"How do you know my name?" Louise asked, startled by what she heard.

"Well, my friend told me. He is rather smart, if you want to know the truth," the man told her, "Anyway, I'm Henry McCoy. You can call me Hank or Beast."

"Ok. I thought you were talking about my sister," Louise sadly said, and then noticed the other person. "Who's your friend?" Louise asked Hank.

"Well, this is my teammate and friend Ororo, or Storm if you want," Hank replied.

Ororo lifted her head from the book and greeted to Louise, "Hi."

"Uhh...hi," Louise also greeted. 'My sister! Why was I so irresponsible with taking care of Lois? I hope she can hear me now, 'cause I was a jerk, sis. I'm sorry,' Louise thought, hoping Lois read her mind.

"Louise? Are you ok?" Hank asked.

Louise snapped out of her thought trance and answered puzzledly, "Huh? Oh, I'm alright."

"We're going to leave you alone for a while. Is that alright?"

"Uuumm...I'm alright with that." Louise told them, and they left the room.

After she knew nobody could hear her, she yelled at herself, "What is wrong with me? I should've seen it coming! If only I was responsible, Lois and Pika wouldn't be at some uncharted island or something!" Then, she swears at herself.

Unfortunately for Louise, a girl, three years older than Louise heard her and scolded, "You're not supposed to swear! This is a school, you know."

"A school? Uuuuuhhhh...I didn't know that. I...uuhh...woke up a few minutes ago..." Louise started.

"Oh. I'm sorry. Anyway, I'm Kitty," the girl said, and continued, "Look, you might be irresponsible, but you can still do things right. Heck, I was irresponsible too, and I still managed to do the right things."

"Really?" Louise asked in surprise, and then added, "You know, I think I'll go find sis and Pika now."

She was getting up, but Kitty's hands stopped her from getting up. Kitty said, "Not like this! You're too injured to do this! You might hurt yourself!"

"I don't care if I'm hurt. All that matters is if I find my sister. I need to do my right thing," Louise said to convince Kitty to let her go.

And she did.
