Deranged
I was tired. It wasn t one of those silly danger room sesions. But a whole day work out.
Starting from basic survival techniques, fighting to handling weapons, sticks, swords, daggers, axes, guns…
Don t know why…but Logan really wanted me to get myself alive through all of this, through any mission I might be assigned to in the not-so-far future.
«Don t know why you lettin the guy push you so bad. It s not like you re super-woman or anything.», the white branded red-head said. God, was she anoying. I wanted to get back on her.
«Well maybe that s exactly what I am.»
«Super woman? What are your powers?»
«Kicking ass and whoring around. Pretty fun.»
Bingo. The wire is struck. She can t touch anybody. She didn t say anything, but…I already knew…the whoring around thing got to her. Wonder how far can I take her.
«No, really. What are your powers? Mine s sucking people s….um…everything.»
«That s nice. Real nice.»
«Actually, it s not. I can t control it that much.»
«Is that why all the guys are fighting over you? A nice challenge of somesort. Touch the untouchable girl.»
«I don t think so.»
O yes, she did think so.
«Liar. My power is sencing emotions and that s how I know about what the guys want and that s how I know you re a liar. Happy now?»
She stopped, faced me.
«Happy about what?»
«You got to know what my power is. Isn t that what you wanted?»
«You crazy bitch.»
«Being honest for a change. Now that s nice.»
Didn t take her long to crack.
«I ain t taking this no more. Goodbye. For a long time if I get lucky.»
Finnaly…she went away…but she actually was a little fun…nothing better than pushing buttons. Only thing is…you godda know the right buttons and you got people wherever you want them…and the buttons…that s my area of expertise.
I keep walkin. Look down…books, tons and tons of books. Freakin shit. Didn t went to school since I was…eleven, twelve, something like that…actually…I m not that much sure…who cares…
Who cares about the fact that I barely know…well…anything as a matter of fact…I know english so I can push the freakin buttons…I know arabic cos it s the language I was born with…I know ancient egyptian…I know how to keep myself alive…that s quite enough.
So many fucked up kids in here…Logan was right when he said «a place for the likes of us».
Three real cocky guys sitting on the stairs, they ll start something, they ll definetly start something.
«Hey gorgeous.», the fat one said, the Blob…yeah, that s his name. I keep on walking, checkin who are the other two guys…Todd and…Pietro…
«Why you re runing away, we won t bite.», he said.
I know how I really shouldn t pick a fight whenever someone opens his idiot mouth but if I don t show my teeth now, while I m still new, I won t be able to get rid of them all that soon.
So I turned around and walked up to them while they were snickering.
«You won t? That s not good, cos I will.»
This Todd character catches a fly with his tongue. Few inches in front of me. But tricks like that don t work on me. I didn t blink.
I was waiting for him to make his move. And then…I caught a thought, emotion, one that I could see even without my power, it was obviece, the way they looked eachother.
He suddenly leaped forward, his intention was to knock me down. Hm. Not very slick for a Toad. I grabed his hand and laid him on the floor, not very gently, more like…smashed.
«Hey! Nobody does that to my friends!», the fat one said. Blob, such a good name for him. I focus…I drain…what can I say…when someone has a weak character, I break him in an instance. He sat back down, crying while Toad jumped up again. I managed to pin him on the wall.
He was suprised. So quick, how could I possibly know…but I did know. Every move, every instinct, every reflecs…I knew he was going to make it before he decided to make it. It s all about judging of someone s character.
The blond one, Pietro didn t move.
When I got to the point that Toad was scared stiff, I turned to him…»So…you re the one that doesn t bite, right?»
«On second thought…»
Not again….why do people talk so much? He was about to have a «all talk, all shit» thing.
«Let s make it short: we fight or we walk away, cos…I d hate to see such a nice little blond cry after such a long pathetic speech.»
Bam! A button.
«Who are you calling a blondie?»
«Oh, let me make myself a little bit clearer if I wasn t obviece enough. I called you a little blond. You called yourself a blondie.»
Just as he started to get ready for his move, he gets stopped by a voice from behind the corner, «Don t you dare touch her bub.», Logan appeared, «Cos she ll probably kick your ass.»
He was terrified.
Logan came up to him, «You three have an appointment with me. In the danger room. You bunch of sissys, you can t beat one single girl.», he turned to me, «Essa…get your ass somewhere where I can t see you cos you re a real test for the blades.»
«It s Sabe.»
«I don t prefer Sabe. Thought you were in a good mood.»
«I m never in a good mood.»
He growls at me. A good time to split.
«See ya.», I act decent enough to say goodbye to my «new friends».
They got all worked up cos of the way I talked to Logan. When the roumors start spreading…I ll know who s door to knock over.
So…life goes on…freaks move on and forth…it s never really boring. Always some shit at the institute…
It s a sunny day. Everybody complaining to the heat. In Egypt this was considered…hell…I m not sure what was it considered….but definetly not hot.
I ll go out, get away from this place…I need to…it s what s going to save me from them saving me…there are times when I should just flip out and kill them all, anybody who screwes around…except all those who I hadn t had the pleasure of fighting, a lot of them for now…and Logan cos I hadn t had the pleasure of wining a fight and to be honest…I don t think I ever will.
He doesn t think when he fights. He just acts. He doesn t feel. He just does.
Good thing he s not on the whatever side that s opposed me.
The birds are singing. I force them to stop. That act calms me, I start doing a little button pushing on my own…on me, that is….never found a better place to practice than my own mind…what a mystery is that…yeah, I am a little mental deranged…it comes with the package…
