I don't own X-Men and I don't own Twinkies. I just own the plot line. Enjoy. :)
The sound of wheels turning played at the edges the girl's mind followed by voices, soft and faint but growing stronger in volume. However the darkness still held dominance over her vision. A door was pushed open.
"Over here Storm," Hank called.
Hank and Storm lifted the girl off of the gurney and laid her on the bed while Kurt held her wings out of the way. Storm started placing sensors on the girls arms and neck while Hank readied an IV. The Professor rolled in.
"How is she?"
Hank studied the readout before responding. "Actually better than when we found her. Her heart beat is steady and there doesn't appear to be any sign of a concussion. She possibly might have a healing factor. Fascinating."
"I'm going to look inside her mind and see if I can find anything there that might help us." Professor Xavier put his hands on both sides of the girl's head and concentrated, announcing his prescience while entering slowly.
"My name is Charles Xavier."
A female voice, resonant in tone, answered. "Hmm, thank you for knocking before entering. I know I'm safe but where am I specifically?"
"You're at a school for mutants. We brought you here when you sent out a cry for help."
"And you have my thanks for that. As you obviously can tell, I've been wounded and the woods aren't the ideal place to heal."
"Can you tell me who attacked you?"
"Unfortunately that is going that going to take longer to explain than the energy I have at the moment as will explaining my mutation as you would call it. You already know of my healing factor and by now you know that I'm telepathic as well. That will have to suffice for now. Also, my name is Tiffany Ayesha Silver."
"A friend of mine, Hank McCoy, is going to want to run some tests to make sure you are alright."
"That is perfectly fine. Tell him that whatever he needs to do, feel free to do so. And," her voice took on a bemused tone, "tell him he may want to grab some extra twinkies. If he is the curious type he sounds like, he'll be in for a long night."
"How would you know about the twinkies?"
"I can smell them on him."
"Sounds like you have a high sense of smell like Logan."
"Logan?"
"Our resident feral mutant who has a healing factor like yourself and heightened senses of smell and hearing."
"Hmm, one more favor." Her voice sounded very tired by this point
"Yes?"
"Would you ask your friend to keep the lights on? It's necessary for my healing factor."
"Certainly, I will."
"And again, thank you."
The professor removed his hands.
"Well?" Storm asked.
Charles Xavier relayed what the girl had told him as well as her name.
"Very interesting," Hank remarked.
"Any idea where she came from or attacked her professor?"
"Your guess is as good as mine Ro. She did say she would explain though when she is healed. So the best thing to do is to let her do just that. I don't know about you but I think I will go catch up on some sleep and I recommend you do the same Storm."
"Well while you two do that, I will be going to the kitchen to fetch some twinkies." The blue furred man grinned widely as he left the room.
Ok peeps, please review. The more reviews I get, the quicker I update unless RL interferes. Toodles. flies off
