Hey! This is my 2nd chapter! Please read it!
Chapter 2- The School..
He looked out the window of the living room and sighed. His daughter will probably never come back now. Why did I have to make her mad? Why me?
"Don't worry, Ben. We'll find her," said Susan, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"It's all my fault, Sue. She probably hates me now," said Ben, looking up at her.
"It's not all your fault. She has a bad temper sometimes," said Reed, coming in the room, who listened to their conversation.
"Yea, Ben. It was some of my fault too," said Johnny, walking into the room slowly.
"Guys, look. I know you're just trying to make me feel better. But it's not working. So just stop," said Ben, getting up out of the chair he was sitting in.
"Where are you going?" asked Reed, turning around as Ben started to walk out of the room.
"For a walk," he said, putting on his giant shoes and walking out of the door that goes to the elevator.
"Poor Ben," said Johnny, sitting down in the chair that Ben was sitting in. "This seat feels warm. He probably sat in it for a long time."
"Wait a moment," said Reed. "Where's Alicia?"
"I think she's...I don't know," said Susan.
"I think she went to their room," said Johnny, pointing to the room that Ben and Alicia shared.
"Let's go check," said Reed, walking over to the room.
They walked to the door of the room, which was shut.
"Alicia? Are you in there?" asked Susan, knocking on the door.
"Leave...me...alone, Sue," said a voice.
"Alicia," said Reed as he reached out his hand to open the door but it was locked. "Open the door. We can talk about this."
"Please, Reed! Leave me alone. I'm trying to do something!"
"What are you doing?" asked Johnny, looking down to see bright lights coming from underneath the door.
"None...of...your...business, Johnny," said Aicia.
"Let us in, Alicia! We can talk about this," said Reed.
"Fine! If you want to know what I'm doing, I'm trying to find Jenny."
The door opened and the three saw Alicia sitting in front of one of Reed's machines.
"How could you find out the right machine?" asked Reed as they came into the room.
"By the feel," said Alicia simply.
"What's going on?"
They all looked to see Kit standing in the doorway.
"I'm trying to find Jenny, dear," said Alicia, looking at the screen even though she couldn't see.
"Location: X-Men boarding school for gifted children," said the machine.
"X-Men boarding school...hmm," said Reed, rubbing his chin.
"Where is that?" asked Susan, looking at the machine, trying to find a button for "explain".
Jenny ran as fast as she could to the door of the boarding school. Her heart was pounding so hard that she could hardly breathe. I'm free! Finally! Now I won't have to be with that big, mean rock of a Dad.
When she was in front of the door, she took a deep breath. Would they let me stay? Will they ask if my parents know that I'm here?
Jenny knocked on the door and waited. Then she heard a voice but couldn't understand what it was saying. The door opened and a boy with brown hair, white skin, and blue eyes came out.
"Are you one of the new kids?" he asked, looking up and down at her.
"I guess," she said, "Is there someone I can talk to about this?"
"Yea," he said, going into the building, Jenny following close behind. "Just go down the hall and take a left and there it is, and by the way," he said before she started to walk down the hall, "My name's Bobby."
"Jenny," she said as she started to go down the hall, "Jenifer Grimm."
"Cool," said Bobby, walking to a door on the right side of the hallway. "See ya."
"Bye."
She walked down the hall turned left and found a door like Bobby had told her. She slowly raised her hand to knock on the door when suddenly she saw Kit standing right beside her.
"Hi Jenny," she said, waving her hand.
"Oh, hi Kit...Kit! What are you doing here?" she asked, looking at Kit strangely.
"Well, I was in the neighbor hood... and I thought you might like a visit from your favorite cuz!" said Kit as she smiled at Jenny who gave her the 'why did you follow me' look, as she crossed her arms.
"Why did you follow me," asked Jenny.
"I told you all ready," said Kit.
"The truth please," asked Jenny, handing out her hand.
"I already did! There it is," said Kit as she clapped Jenny's hand.
"No it isn't!"
"Yes it is!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"What's going on?"
They looked to see a man standing in the door way.
"Oh! Hi!" said Jenny and Kit in unison as they waved hello.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, folding his arms.
"I was wondering if there is any room for me to stay?" asked Jenny, looking up at the man' face.
"Yea. Is she staying here too?" he asked, guestering towards Kit.
"No,no! She was just making sure I found the right street, isn't that right Kit?" she asked, looking at Kit, giving her the 'say yes or I will kill you' look.
Kit seemed to be examing her finger nails when she heard Jenny say her name. "Huh? What are we talking about again?" she said as Jenny slapped her forehead.
"We were talking about you going back home..right.."Jenny said as Kit caught her eye.
"Why would I go home and leave you here all ALONE?" she said as she put out her buttom lip.
"Well, if she is going to stay we need to get you guys to see the professor. So, you can get suited for your rooms." The man said as he watched the two exchange looks back and forth.
"Ok!" said Kit as she quickly followed the man who started down the hallway.
"Why didn't you say no?" Jenny whispered towards Kit as she caught up with her.
"Cause, I didn't want to.." Kit said simply as she walked a little faster.
"OOoo..I am soo going to get you for this.."said Jenny as she spead up too.
"Right.. you and what arm.." Kit bumped into the back of the man they had been following who had stopped at a door that Kit was not aware of.
"Oh, sorry.." she mumbled as she looked down, to hear Jenny giggle behind her. "Shut up.." Kit said threw gritted teeth towards her, Jenny responded with her tongue stuck out.
"Ok, the Professor will be here in a minute soo, you can wait here. By the way, the name is Logan.. call me if you two need anything." Logan said as he left the two girls in the room and shut the door behind him.
"Ok, really, why did you come here?" asked Jenny, turning to look at Kit.
"Your mom sent me to look for you," said Kit, walking around the room, which looked like a labortory.
"Good evening girls."
They turned to see a woman standing in front of them. She had white hair, blue eyes, and a black outfit on.
"Hi. My name is Jenifer Grimm and this is Kit Richards," said Jenny, smiling at the woman.
"My name is Storm. It's very nice to meet you two," said Storm, "Does your parents know that your here?"
"Do they have to know we're here? Because, well," said Jenny, glancing at Kit, who looked back at her.
"They don't know you're here, am I correct?" asked Storm, looking at them sternly.
"Yes, they don't know," mumbled Kit, looking at the floor.
"But, please, let us stay here," said Jenny as she took a step closer. "You don't know how much trouble I would be in by my, er, dad."
"Oh...I see. Anyways, back to business. Jenny, you will share a room with Rouge. Kit, you'll share a room with Kitten. Jenny, your room number is 360. Kit, your's is 578. Do you guys got that?"
"Yea," said Jenny as Storm handed them the keys to their rooms.
"Yea, I got it," said Kit as she took her keys.
"Good luck, girls," said Storm, waving her hand as the girls left the room to find their rooms. "Their a little odd," she mumbled once Jenny and Kit left the room.
"Kit should be back by now," said Susan, who was sitting in the chair in the living room.
"Can someone help me with April here? I can't find the diaper wipes," moaned Johnny as he searched in the bathroom for the wipes.
"You're her dad, Johnny! Besides, I have to go to work," said Sam as she gathered her stuff for work.
IT was the next day and everyone was busy.
"But...but...but..." Johnny stumbled over the words.
"No, buts Johnny! Somebody has to pay the bills..."Sam said as she grabbed her jacket and slung it over her shoulder.
"Honey..you can't leave me here!...can you..."Johnny said as he handed April to Susan who unexpectly took her in her arms.
"Yes...I can..and I am already late! I love you, see you in about 6 hours.." said Sam as she dashed out the door leaving Johnny standing looking dumfounded.
"But...but...but..." Johnny said as he turned towards his sister who had his daughter in her arms.
"Johnny, I can't take care of her, I have to find my own child at the moment." said Susan as she handed April to Johnny who immedentially started to cry.
"But..but...but.." Johnny said as he held onto April.
"Johnny this should be easy for you...your a kid...she's a kid.."said Ben as he walked into the room with a stack of papers in his arms.
"What's all the papers for?" asked Reed as he went to the closest computer and turned it on.
"Information about the where abouts of Jenny and Kit..."Ben said as he dropped the papers on the floor. "Crap.." he meekly said.
"What's wrong, hon'?" asked Alicia as she walked into the room.
"Oh, Alicia. It says that she's at that boarding school, it's in New York!"
"NEW YORK?" said everyone in unison as April stopped crying.
"Yeah...it's all my fault! I shouldn't have grounded her!" said Ben as he took a seat in the chair he was sitting in before he left for the walk. He sighed and put his face in his hands.
"Hey, look...," said Reed, walking 'till he was beside Ben.
"...the sooner we find her, the sooner we can talk to her, ok?"
Ben put down his hands and looked at Reed. "What are we waiting for then?"
Reed smilied as his friend got up from his chair once more.
"But what about April?" asked Johnny as his sister also got up from her chair.
"I'll watch her for you guys," said Alicia, holding out her hands for the little toddler.
"Are you sure, hon'? I can call for a babysitter," said Ben as Johnny gave April to Alicia. "Just because I can't see doesn't mean I can't take care of a baby," she said as she held the baby in her arms. April giggled as her aunt tickled her.
"All right. See you later." Smoch (they kissed)!
"B-b" said April, waving her little hand as the Fantastic 4 left to do their job.
"Hey! My name's Jennifer Grimm. Your name's Rouge, am I right?" asked Jenny, taking Rouge's hand and shaking it.
"Yeah, that's right. If you need help unpacking, let me know," said Rouge, letting go of the shake.
"Ok. I think I'll unpack later. When does class start?"
"In about 30 minutes, why?"
"Just wondering."
Jenny looked through her bag and got out a book that said on the cover EXCEPTIONAL ATTITUDE FOR GIRLS.
"Where are you going?" asked Rouge as Jenny started to walk out of the room.
"To the living room."
Jenny walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. She walked 'till she came to a room that had two lavender couches and a rocking chair. On one of the couches sat a tall boy reading a book.
He had blonde hair and his fingers were white, but not bright white. He didn't notice Jenny taking a seat on the end of the same couch.
As she opened her book, he looked up and saw her. His bright blue eyes widened as he saw how beatiful she was. But before she even noticed he was staring at her, he started to read again.
When she turned back to her book, he looked up again and said,"Hey."
She looked up in surprise and said,"Hey. What's your name?"
"Loran, but you can call me Angel. Your's?"
"Jenny."
"Sweet. I think I've seen you before...oh yeah! I saw you on T.V. when you were doing the motorcycle tricks!" Angel grinned at the thought of seeing her on T.V.
"You saw that? Did you like the tricks I did?" Jenny also grinned at him. He's so cute! He looks like a nice guy!
"Yeah! Your tricks were like, the best!" he said as he put his book aside.
"Really?" she asked as she also put her book aside.
"Yeah! Like, everyone here was cheering for you!"
"Seriously? Because my dad hated it!"
"Really? Come on he couldn't of hated that performance!"
"Well, he did.." said Jenny as she glanced at the floor finally breaking the eye connection between the two.
"Oh,.."Angel started as two girls walked into the living room laughing. Jenny noticed that one of the girls was no other than Kit.
"Hey, Jenny!" said Kit as she and the girl approached them.
"Hey Kit, where have you been all day?" asked Jenny as she smiled at Kit who found a friend.
"Oh, nothin' much just checkin' out some really hot guys in this school!... oh and this is my partner in crime...Kitten" said Kit as she questured towards the girl beside her. Jenny noticed that the girls seemed to get along well together.
"Cool, and this Angel" said Jenny as she looked at Angel who smiled in return.
"Wow, I really like your wings.." said Kit as she saw some feathers sticking out of his large over coat.
"My..wha...oh, my wings.." Angel said as he noticed them sticking out as well.
"Yea, they're cool" said Kit as she pushed her shoulder length blonde hair out of her face.
"Yeah, they're okay.." said Angel as he tucked his wings back underneath his coat.
"Well, I guess we better get going," said Kitten as she saw that Jenny wanted to talk to Angel alone.
"Ok. Bye," said Jenny as she waved her hand goodbye.
"See ya," said Kit, walking away with her friend.
When Kit and Kitten left the room, Jenny turned back to Angel. "Kit's my cousin. A little crazy sometimes,but, she is a very good fighter."
"Cool. So, what class are you going to be in next?"
"Storm's. You?" asked Jenny, hoping that he would be with her.
"Hey! I got the same class!" said Angel, his eyes widening in excitement.
"Awesome! What about the class after that?" she asked, looking at him curiously.
"Storm again. Please say you got Storm again!" he asked, folding his hands in front of him as he begged.
"Sorry,but, I got training, since I'm new and everything, you know?" she turned her head to the clock and gasped,"We have five minutes 'till class starts! Come on!" She got up and got her book and when Angel got up, they hurried down the hall to their class.
When they got in the classroom, there were some people already there. Jenny followed Angel to go to their seats.
"Hi, Storm," said Jenny as Storm got up from her seat.
"Hello, Jenny," she said as the last students came in to the class. Jenny looked around the class. Where's Kit? she thought as Storm went back to her seat.
"Today, we're going to learn how to control our powers. Some people in here know how to, some people in here don't. I'm going to hand you a book that teaches you how to control your powers," she said, handing out the books to everyone. "As you can tell, it's going to take you a while to read it. It has one thousand pages in it."
Everyone groaned as they looked at the thick book on their small desk.
"So, I think you better get started. But before you start, I'll tell you some news. On Saturday, you don't have to read this book, but on Sunday, you have to read this book for at least ten hours. You're lucking Logan isn't here or he'll make you read it all day Saturday and Sunday! So, I'll give you thirty minutes to read. You may start."
After class, some of the kids stayed behind with Angel. Before she left, Jenny went over to Angel and said, "Hey, after class, do you want to do something?"
"Yeah, hey! I was thinking that maybe.." he lowered his voice as he leaned towards her, "...you could hang out in my room. I don't have any soul mates or anything. Want to?"
"Why are you whispering?" she asked as she whispered too.
"We're not really supposed to do this. But please! If we get caught, we won't get in trouble anyway." They looked into each other's eyes for a minute. Then Jenny said, "Ok. I'll bring my laptop with me."
She stood up. "She yeah." She waved as she left the room.
"Bye," said Angel, gazing down at the floor. She's so hot!
"Here it is. The boarding school."
Ben, Johnny, Reed, and Susan stood in front of the door. Reed knocked on the door and waited.
"Well, shouldn't someone answer?" asked Johnny after they waited for awhile.
Reed knocked again but harder. This time someone answered. But it was Kit that did!
"Yeah it should be the pizza..." she stopped at the sight of her family. "You're definately not the pizza dude." She tried to shut the door quickly but Ben grabbed it.
"I don't think you're getting away that easily," Reed said as he came in, the others following.
"Why are you here? You are sooo not taking me and Jenny home!" said Kit as she looked at them in the eyes.
"Hey, speaking of Jenny, where is she?" asked Ben as he took a step forward.
"I love your room! It looks cozy."
Jenny followed Angel into his room, which had a big bed, a desk, a trash can, closet, a couch, and a window.
"Yea, I like it too," said Angel as he sat on his bed. "I can't believe that Storm gave us that huge book! It's going to take us forever to read that!"
"Yep. Hey, how about let's talk about each other. You go first," said Jenny as she sat beside him.
"Well, you already know that I have wings. But one thing about me is that I don't have any powers. Do you?"
"Yea, I do. But there's this one power that I hate so much!" she said as she looked deep into his eyes.
"What kind is that?" he asked, hoping it wasn't that bad.
"Electricity. It's so powerful that I just, well, I can't say that I hate it hate it. But I don't like it because I'm powerful. I like it because..." she looked down at the floor.
"What is it?" Angel asked, still looking at her.
"I can't tell anybody," Jenny mumbled, still looking at the floor.
"You can trust me. I won't tell anybody I promise," he said, lifting her chin up so she can look at him.
"Ok. I like this power because it made me normal."
Angel looked at her curisouly.
"Before that, I was a rock. You know how Ben Grimm looks like?" she asked.
"Yea. You were like that?"
"Yes. How I got the power, Doom gave it to me by giving me a shot," she said as she looked deep into his eyes again.
"Oh...hey. I was wondering if you'd like to...umm...spend the night with me then tomorrow, we could...go some where?" Angel looked down at the floor in embarrassment.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Who is it?" asked Angel, looking up at the door.
"Hey! Is Jenny in there?"
"Angel! Don't answer it! That's my dad!" whispered Jenny, giving him a frightened look.
"Don't worry. I got it," he whispered back. He looked at the door again. "Hold on a minute! I gotta put my shirt on!"
He walked over to his closet, opened it and waved his hand for her to hide it there. As soon as Jenny was in there, Angel walked back to the door and opened it. "What do you want?"
"I wanted to know if my daughter Jenifer Grimm is here," asked Ben as he looked at the young man's face.
"Well, last time I checked she wasnt in here..." Angel said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Okay,..Well, if you see her tell her that I am looking for her.." said Ben as he glanced into the room.
"Okay, I will... Bu Bye.." Angel said as he closed the door in the Thing's face.
Jenny poked her head out of the closet door and looked around. "Is he gone?" she asked as she stared at Angel.
"Yea, He's gone.." said Angel as he sat at the edge of the bed.
Jenny slowly walked out of the closet and shut the door behind her. She walked over to Angel and sat beside him. She took his hand and said, "Did you say you wanted me to spend the night and go somewhere with you tomorrow?"
Angel looked into her eyes and said, "Yea. Do you want to?"
"Yea, I'd love to."
Then they leaned forward to kiss.
"Kit! I thought you said she was in that guy's room!" said Ben as they walked to where a door said The Professer's room.
"I did! She told me that she was going there!" Kit said as they stopped in front of the door.
"Then she would be there! Are you lieing to us?" asked Susan as she gave her daughter a stern look.
"NO! I'm not lieing to you! Why would you think that?" asked Kit, looking at her mom like she was crazy.
"Susan...Kit would never lie to anyone except Doom," said Johnny, putting his arm around Kit's shoulders.
"Yea. Kit has never lied to us," said Reed as Ben started to knock on the door.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Who's there?" asked a voice.
"It's Ben Grimm, Jenifer's dad. Can we come in?" he asked as he waited for the voice to answer again.
"Who's 'we'?" asked a different voice.
"Reed Richards, Kit's dad, Susan Richards, Kit's mom, Johnny Storm, Kit's uncle, and Kit," said Reed.
"Yes...you may come," said the voice.
They opened the door to see a woman with short white hair and a man with short black hair.
"Hi Logan! Hi Storm!" said Kit as Storm waved her hand in return.
"Who's the rock?" asked Logan as he took a step forward.
"Ben Grimm, Jenifer's dad," said Ben, giving him a stern look.
"Her dad, eh? She didn't mention you at all. Only the others," said Logan as he looked at the others beside Ben.
"She...didn't?" asked Ben, his stern look going away.
"Yes, I'm afraid so," said Storm. "But anyway, I'm Storm and this is Logan. We're in charge of this school. What have you come here for?"
"We need to see if Jenifer Grimm is here," said Reed as he looked around the room.
"Yes, she's here. But if you wanted her back she atleast has to stay here for 9 months, but if you want her before then, you have to pay $300," said Storm. "Same thing with Kit. The reason why it's that much is because they just came here yesterday."
"What room is she in?" asked Johnny.
"360. Kit's is 578. Anymore questions?" asked Logan, looking at Ben.
"No. Thanks for the information," said Reed, turning the knob on the door.
"Bye," said Kit as they left the room.
When they were back in the hallway, Ben said,"I'm not sure I can trust that man."
"Oh, Ben. Chill out," said Johnny as they walked down the hall.
"But didn't you hear that? She didn't say nothing about me to them!" Ben's eyes filled with tears as he imagined his daughter never speaking to him again.
"Uncle Ben, don't worry. She might be mad now but later she'll forget about," said Kit, speading up so she was beside her uncle. "She still loves you."
"How can you be so sure?" Ben left the group 'till he was in front of the door that went to go outside.
"Ben, wait!" called Susan as they hurried to catch up with him.
