I don't own anything, except my own ideas, characters and such on.
Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters
I felt my nerves jump around in my skin like a bunch of jumping beans. If I didn't get my self in control soon, there was going to be a major issue, like a tree growing out of the middle of now where or I might turn into water. I have done that once, I was going on a date and I made myself think my nerves were a puddle of goo. It wasn't pleasant thing when I actually turned into goo.
" Stop fidgeting ! You are drivin me freakin insane! " Ari glared at me as we got out of her beat up pick-up truck. We didn't know if it ever was a truck, the poor thing looked like it had the shit beaten out of it.
" I can't help it! How did the fiery, old sister turn out to be the calm centered one?" I challenged playfully.
" Would you care if I continued your ass whoopin last night? 'Cuz I am thinking that I could totally do it right now, in front the Prestigious Charles Xavier."
" You are just mad, 'cuz I dumped water on you this morning. Whoa."
We both finally looked up at the enormous mansion in front of us. It was exquisite, elegant and everything you would expect a mansion to be.
" I think we should stop stalling, right Lil?"
" Suddenly nervous Ari? I have no qualms about just staring at this place, forever."
Ari's forehead wrinkled in thought. She suddenly took on a business-like look and grabbed my elbow, tight.
" No more stalling, we need to meet the man who is going to fix what ever it is you have for a brain."
" So not funny there sister dear. I hate to have a repeat of this morning, every morning. I have no issues waking you up with the iciest blast of water imaginable." As I was threatening, I didn't notice she had dragged me towards the mansion, in fact we were close to the big, ominous door.
Ari pushed the big door open, and dragged me in. A young girl was passing us by and stopped.
" Can I, like help you there chicas?" She was wearing a yellow jacket and bright blue pants.
" Yes could you show us to the Professor's office? We have an appointment." I forgot how polite Ari could be. This is kind of out of character for her, she is the type of person to make a joke at the nearest person's expense or the girl who would get her belly button pierced in spite of her parents rules.
We follow the crazy girl in the yellow jacket around some twists and turns of one long hallway. She stops in front of a oak door and knocks.
" Come in." Answers a crisp English accent. As we enter, my eyes go to the crowd of people in there.
" Thank you Jubilee for showing our guests here. You may head back to class if you wish." replies the same english accent. I notice it comes from the man behind the big desk.
The girl, I mean Jubilee gives us one last look over and I can feel my sister glaring at the young Asian girl. She quickly leaves and shuts the door behind her.
" Now Ari, we can't have you scaring my students." The old guy smiles and I smile back, but on my guard. Ari said he was a telepathic and I started guarding my thoughts.
" How are you Professor?" I notice how buddy-buddy they seem.
" I am very well, how are you faring? You just missed tea, but you care for anything to drink?" A guy by the window snorts, and to me, he doesn't look like a tea kind of guy. More like a beer man. He has his hair shaped kinda of funny, like a v almost. He has on a white shirt and a pair of tight fighting jeans. He has a smirk on his face and is staring out the window, like he has better things to do than to discuss tea.
Ari smiles and laughs," No thank you Professor, but I am sure Lily would like some water. We both doing fine,but I do need you help with something." Ari's eyes flick to the group of people all plastered around the room, trying not to look interested.
" May I introduce you to my colleagues." He gave a wave of his hand around the room.
The beer guy sighed and turned towards us," The name's Logan." and turned back to the window. Soon we both we surround by the group.
I think he got their attention using telepathy. How interesting!
I snorted, Really Ari? You think? When I snorted it was out loud, so I of course was stared at.
An attractive white haired African-American beauty was the first to introduce herself, properly.
" My name is Ororo, but you can call me Storm." She smiled warmly and back away. I wonder what is with the nickname, but whatever.
Storm was soon replaced by a young woman," My name is Rogue, it's a pleasure to meet you." Rogue had a pretty southern accent. I studied her for a moment, she looked around the same age as us and had a figure to die for. Her brown hair has two white streaks for bangs and her green eyes flash in warmth.
Rogue moved back to let another figure take her place. He was also young and had blonde hair and ice blue eyes. He seemed to have a cocky air around him and stuck his hand out towards Ari,
" Bobby, but you can call me Iceman." I swear I saw him try to turn Ari's hand blue, but her hand glowed red.
" Ouch!" Bobby, or Ice-Cube, as I am now going to call him, shook his hand up and down.
Ari smirked," Sorry Iceman, I guess you shouldn't play with fire." Ice-Cube glared and moved to stand near the bookcases. I heard a chuckling around the room, even from beer man!
" Name's John, but you can call me Pyro."The speaker looked around our age and had glint in his cinnamon brown eyes, like fire. His brown hair was left moppish around his stubbly face and he had a lighter in one hand.
"Hi! My name's Kitty but everyone calls me Shadowcat because of my power. It is so cool to meet you!" I blinked, I don't think I have every heard someone talk that fast. Her brown hair was pulled into a pony tail an she walked over to Rogue and started talking to her, no , it looked like she was annoying the hell out of her.
" My name is Peter, but I go by Colossus. It is nice to meet you." Wow, what a cutie. Dark brown hair and eyes. He looked toned and muscled. He didn't seem aggravate a talker to me and he after his introduction, walked over to Kitty.
I glanced at the last guy, and wow! Blond hair and blue eyes and his white shirt hugged his torso in a way that would make any girl melt.
" My name is Angel. It is nice to meet you." He spoke quietly and shyly. I looked over at the Professor and wondered what he thought of all this.
" Why don't you introduce yourself there Blue?" That was Logan, who I will forever call him the beer man.
Ari spoke on behalf, which was quite aggravating, maybe she thought I was say something stupid,"I was a pleasure to meet you all-"
" What is with the nicknames?" I interrupted.
Every single one of them looked at me in shock.
" Who they hell are you people?" I ask, or more it was more of a yell.
