The air outside was chilled misty, but it felt great. Hank and I walked around the school and the gardens catching up with each other and talking about the two years I was in college. It was great and I started to relax. "Did you remember to take your medicine today?" I shook my head "I only need to take it once a week." I looked around and saw a big tree not too far away that had flowers around it and started to walk towards it. "Remember when I convinced you to hide in that tree with me and to trough egg corns at people?" Hank laughed and nodded. When we got to the tree Hank gave me a boost onto one of its branches then climbed up himself. We slowly made our way up and stopped to sit near the top. Hank relaxed and laid back while I pulled down branches to pull off leaves with long stems. "What are you doing?" I smiled and started weaving the stems together "making you something" when I was done I smiled down at the crown of leaves I made and put it on his head. Hank laughed "now I am king of the forest" he proclaimed. This was why I liked hanging around Hank; he was nice and understood me, he also made me laugh.
Most of the time we were on the same wave link and would finish one another sentences depending on the topic. "You cannot be king! To be king you must first slay the beast!" I yelled. Hank laughed and stood up "do I have to save the damsel as well?" he asked looking down at me I jumped up at the comment and wobbled a little. "No! This damsel can save herself!" he grinned showing every sharp tooth he had "can you save yourself from the king of beasts!" he made a move to grab me but I moved to fast and jumped onto another branch. "That and more!" he started to case me from one branch to another. He started getting close so I made a move to jump down but slipped on the branch and began to fall. "Amelia!" Hank yelled and made a move to grab me but missed. I closed my eyes and braced for impact when I remembered something, I could fly. I concentrated and felt the air stop rushing past me. When I opened my eyes I was no longer falling but floating. I gave a sigh of relief and slowly started to lower myself down onto the ground. When I landed Hank jumped down beside me "very well done Amelia! Quick thinking as well!" I smiled and leaned against the tree. "Thanks, I think we should go inside now."
We started to make our way back to the school and I couldn't help but feel better once we were inside. "Shall we make our way to breakfast?" Hank asked. I shook my head no "You go Hank, I'm going to go back to my room." I started to walk off in the direction "Are you sure? You know breakfast is the most important meal of the day" Hank called after me. "I smiled "Be that as it may, I'm not hungry, and I have work to do. Can you just do me a favor and make sure Jeremy and Alexander are down there eating?" Hank just nodded and walked away. When I got back to my room I reached into my bag and pulled out my laptop. I sat on the bed and turned it on before going and checking my mail. All that was there was the same nonsense. Shipping approvals, estimates, complaints and investment opportunities. I sighed, to me it was all nonsense, all one hundred and fifty of them were a waste of my time. But I knew that if I didn't answer them, no one would, so I cracked my fingers and got started.
Shortly later I was almost done when someone knocked on my door. I didn't bother to look up when I told them to come in. "Good Morning Amelia." I looked up then at Professor Xavier and Logan who was standing behind him. "Good morning to you to, as to what do I owe this visit?" I asked and went back to answering my mail. "I tried contacting you with my telepathy but you were blocking me so I came to ask if you were feeling better and if you would come with me and Logan so that we may see just how developed your power is." I looked up then "Sorry about that, but most of the time my mind is always blocked. I prefer it that way, and yes I'll come with you in just a sec." I quickly finished the message I was on and sent it before shutting down my laptop. "Ready" I got up and began to walk towards the door when Logan stopped me. "You might wanna change kid, Heels and a skirt are not the best thing for something like this." Ha said. I sighed and turned to look at him "Heels and a skirt are fine for whatever it is that you're going to do to test my power. Besides that, all I have is heels and skirts, and if I can play tree tag with Hank in heels and a skirt then I can get tested while wearing them." Logan's frown just got deeper and he moved past me walking out the door while the Professor rolled up beside me. "I am sorry about Logan, but he did have a point." I looked down at him "I'll be fine." I walked out the room and waited for the professor to leave as well before shutting the door.
On the way there the Professor and I made small talk and from time to time he would ask me a question about my life. I was forcing out answers by the time we got to our destination. I entered the room and saw five other people one of them was Logan who had changed his cloths and now wore a yellow and black suit. It was easy to see who was a teacher and a student, the man with the silver skin and the woman in the most reveling white outfit ever, had to be teachers. The other two people were students, I could tell because they were shorter and younger, most likely around my age. "Everyone this is Amelia James, she will be joining you for this Danger room session." The professor said. "Amelia, these are two of your new teachers, Piotr Rasputin or rather Colossus and Emma Frost." I looked at them both "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." Was all I said when Colossus walked up to me "It is a pleasure to meet you as well young one." He smiled at me and I could tell I already that he really wouldn't be any bother. The Frost woman just nodded so the Professor just continued on "And this is Willis Times and Timothy Mont. They are two of your classmates." I nodded at them and gave them the same greeting, both smiled and said hello back.
Then the professor left and Logan explained what we would be doing. "Because its Amelia's first time we are simply going to run the cores, first team to get the flag wins. Amelia you are only to use the powers of those in the room, ok?" I nodded, it was simple enough. "Who's team am I on?" I asked, Logan stiffly answered mine so I just smiled and nodded then followed him as he walked away. "Amelia, because this is your first time here I think I should be the one to tell you that what you are wearing is not the correct attire for the Danger Room." Frost said. I hate when someone talks to me like I'm a child or in a tone that suggest they are my superior, so I stopped, turned and smiled, "From anyone else Ms. Frost, I would have taken that advice, but from a hypocrite like yourself, I see no point." My smile got even bigger at the look of outrage on her face. "You know you just made your first enemy at this school right kid?" Logan said when I caught up with him. "Oh well, she had it coming." Logan grinned a bit and told me to get ready. I quickly removed the scarf from my neck and tied it tightly around my waist while Logan unsheathed his claws. So he could do more than heal fast I thought to myself and looked at my hands, wondering if unsheathing them would hurt.
A second later the room started changing and Logan told me when I heard the bell to follow him. The second I heard the bell I took off behind him and heard a buzzing above my head and turned to see what looked like a high powered laser charging up."Kid! Watch out!" I heard Logan yell. I jumped forward just as the laser shot and was missed by barely an inch. I frowned before concentrating and pushed Colossus's power into action then charged up an energy ball {Compliments of Willis Times} and chucking it at the laser, blowing it up before running again and passing Logan. "Come on!" he ran and caught up to me in a matter of seconds. After that I was on high alert and dodged everything thrown at me. I grinned when I saw the flag and ran a little faster with Logan hot on my heels. Logan and I got there first and Logan picked up the flag, then slowly everything shut down and changed back. The other two teams walked up and I could tell Frost was pissed while I turned back to normal. When I heard a zooming sound I turned to see what looked like an extra sharp boomerang heading towards Logan's head. I pushed him aside and made another energy ball to blow up the boomerang, which I'm thankful to say, worked. I turned and looked down at Logan who was grinning again. "Your alright kid." He said as he stood up and walked away. "So you can copy other mutants powers." I looked at Frost who had spoken and smiled "Yeah, to bad I can't chose who I copy, if I could I wouldn't be able to do this."
I thought to what power Frost had and felt myself change to be coated in the organic diamond form that she possessed. Only I took it a forward and only did my arm up to my elbow because I knew it was something she couldn't do and rolled up my sleeve for her to see. Before waving at her and teleporting to walk beside Logan and laughed once the doors closed. "She already hates me doesn't she?" I asked him still laughing. He was still grinning "Yeah, she hates you alright." I looked down at my arm and turned it back before wrapping my scarf back around my neck. "Hey, when your claws come out, does it hurt?" Logan nodded "Every time" was all he said when we entered another room where the professor and Storm were. "You did well Amelia, and I now have an idea of how strong you are, as well as an idea as to your class." The Professor said. "My class?" he nodded "The type of mutant you are, you my dear are a Beta Mutant, maybe even an Alpha Mutant but that remains to be seen." { .com/wiki/Homo_Superior I use this page for reference, if confused look at this page}
Well that wasn't something I didn't already know and sighed. "Are we done?" I asked and the Professor nodded so I turned and left. While walking back to my room I thought about my powers and sighed, wishing I could turn the said powers off for a bit. While walking up the stairs I walked past several other students and someone who I thought perhaps was a teacher. When I got to my room I was just about to enter it when I had a sudden urge for Twinkies and turned on my heal to go find Hank. While searching I came upon Bobby who was nice enough to give me directions to Hanks room and made my way to it. When I got there I knocked on the door and heard Hank ask who it was. "Just your favorite little Terror of the world." Not two seconds later the door opened and Hank stood there smiling. "Come in" I walked past him into the what I now saw as messy room and smiled. "Still unorganized and untidy." I laughed as I walked over to sit on the desk chair.
"I fear I forever shall be, now to what do I owe this visit?" I looked around "I was hoping I could raid your stash of Twinkies." He laughed and pointed to the desk draw which I opened and found it to be full of Twinkies and laughed. "How can you eat all these, I have one and I'm through, if I ate all these I would go into a sugar Acoma". "Long work filled nights need sugar and lots of it." Hank said smiling. I nodded "Nice excuse you Twinkie addict." I reached into the draw and pulled one ate to open it and took a bite. "Thanks Hank, but I think I'm going to go track down Remy and Alex. I haven't seen them all day and it's almost one." Hank nodded and faked a dramatic pose "oh dear me, she only visits for Twinkies!" I laughed and nodded "With this messy room, it would make sense." I got up and gave him a hug before leaving for Remy and Alex's room. I heard laughter from behind the door and opened it to see Remy and Alex laughing while Kurt was acting something out.
I was confused as to what was going on until I noticed the game on the floor and laughed as well. When I laughed they stopped and Kurt was turning a darker blue again. "Please don't let me stop you." I said and closed the door to go sit on the bed. "What did I miss?" Remy and Alex jumped up and ran over to me telling me an entire story that ended with them coming back to their room with Kurt and him suggesting a game he played with his drama class. "Sounds like you had a good day so far huh?" they nodded just as someone knocked on the door Kurt answered it and Logan walked in. "Their turn in the fun room?" he nodded "Ok, but I'm giving you fair warning, if Emma says anything, or if they get hurt, I won't be happy." Logan nodded "Don't worry, were putting them on a lower level then you." Remy spoke then "Where are we going?" I looked at him "To take a test to see how developed your powers are. Don't worry it's like playing with Joel." They both nodded and said goodbye to Kurt and myself before leaving with Logan.
"Thanks for keeping them company" Kurt smiled "It wasn't a problem. Amelia, about this morning, I just wanted to tell you how very sorry I am and I'll make sure to use the door and knock from now on, it will never happen again" Kurt seemed very distressed over the shower thing still when I hadn't thought about it all day. "Kurt, its fine, accidents happen but yes please do use the door from now on." I smiled and got up and for the second time that day tripped and fell flat on my face."Amelia, are you ok?" Kurt asked and I could feel his hands on my shoulders lifting me up and placing me on one of the beds while he searched my face for any injuries. "I'm fine, I'm fine." I pushed away Kurt's hand and heard him sighed "No you're not, your nose is bleeding." He said and grabbed a tissue from the box on the dresser and lifted my chin with his free hand before he began to dab the blood away.
Before I knew it I was blushing again and closed my eyes trying not to freak out. "There all gone." He said and I opened my eyes looking directly into his. A few seconds past and he was still holding my chin up and looking down at me with this far away look. Then slowly he started to lean forward and I felt my eyes close on their own accord. My mind kept screaming at me to move away, to not let this happen, but the moment his lips touched mine, my mind went black and I only felt Kurt start to wrap his arms around me and my own arms moving up so that my hands could rest on his forearms. When he pulled back I opened my eyes very slowly and looked up at him. He gazed down at me and lifted a hand to my cheek smiling lightly. "Kurt…" I was about to ask him why when he cut me off. "I ask you Amelia to please forgive me, but I could not help myself." When he spoke it was low and he never once broke eye contact with me.
For the first time ever, I didn't know what to do, but as I looked up into his eyes I knew that there was nothing to forgive and reached up to kiss him again. This kiss wasn't like the first, it didn't feel the same and I knew it wasn't, the first kiss was a tryout this kiss was a comeback. Then when he pulled away only to pull me up and kiss me again, I knew this kiss meant I had the part in his life. Hopefully I always would, but then I remembered the age factor and pulled away. "What's wrong?" he asked when I looked away from him. "This is, it feels so right, it really does, but it's not. Kurt, your twenty-four, I'm not even seventeen yet" I whispered and could slowly start to feel the tears coming. "Amelia, I know, but please just don't push this away, don't push me away. I know the idea of us seems wrong to others but it seems perfect to me, and I'll be willing to bet anything you feel the same." Kurt slowly lifted my chin again and kissed my cheek "I'm willing to try anything if you are. But please, give it a chance. Give me a chance and I'll prove to you this is meant to be anyway I have to" I shook my head "You know almost nothing about me, and I barely know anything about you, I'm not even worth half the trouble I'll be" it was true, we didn't know each other that long or that well, and I really wasn't worth the trouble I knew I would bring. "I don't care Amelia, I have all the time in the world to learn every little thing about you and you can learn about me as well. And in my eyes, you Amelia are worth the world." I didn't have anything to say to that, what could anyone possibly say to that.
I closed my eyes and moved so that my head rested on his shoulder and my arms hung at my sides. Kurt still had his arms wrapped around me when I asked him if he could take me back to my room. "Anything for you Liebe" he said softly then teleported us both there. I pulled away from him and swayed slightly as I went and sat on the bed. Kurt moved to kneel in front of me and took my hands into his own. I could feel myself shaking from the tears that still kept coming. I felt him wipe them away and say sorry for making me cry but I shook my head and looked at him. "I'm willing to try anything, if you still are." He smiled and pulled me into another hug. "I swear I will never make or give you a reason to regret this" I nodded and hugged him back. When he pulled back he kissed me again and I wrapped my arms around him. He was right, this did seem perfect.
When we pulled apart again I moved away to take off my shoes and scarf and put them away. When I stood back up Kurt came up behind me and wrapped me in his arms again. I giggled when he kissed my neck and turned my head to look at his over my shoulder. Just when we were about to kiss once more the mood was ruined by the growling stomach. "Oh god…" I groaned and I heard Kurt laugh lightly. 'Heh, I guess I shouldn't have skipped breakfast." I Smiled but quickly stopped when I saw Kurt frown "No you shouldn't have, have you eaten anything today?" I sighed and looked down. "A Twinkie." Kurt shook his head and took my hand beginning to lead me out of the room. "Let's go make sure you eat." What I wanted to say was, I would much rather just stand here and kiss you, what came out was a grumbled "Yes Mr. Wagner." which Kurt laughed at.
Wow….24 year old man pursuing a 16 year old, holy crap I have a twisted mind.
