Okay, it's been a while since I've updated. Oh well,I hope you all like this and just to let you know, this is mainly a scene filler and a small attempt of humor by the menas of word play between characters. I sincerely hope eveyone likes the story so far and doens't mind the constant fluxuating paces of the story.
I am greatful for all the imput from everyone andI am glad most of us agree on Piertro being an asshole. On a side note, I would like to draw readers attention to the co-authored stroy me and Lecheecopae have started. It's in her profile and we have taken a different approach for a Evo fic, it's called Wildcat and Insignius. Please, go check it out if you have a moment and tell us what you think.
(P.S. If you can, try and figure out which charactersare mine.)
Anyways, please enjoy the story and the trainging will being in the next chapter.
A New Sutible, RisquéTraining Uniform
As soon as she was home, X23 ran upstairs and dumped her bag on her bed before turning to her drawers. Pulling her drawers open and slamming them close, the clone of Wolverine riffled through her belongings as she tried to find clothes that Todd had recommended she use.
She was so engrossed in her search, that she gave quick side wave to Rahne as the Scottish watched the former HYDRA operative dig in her wardrobe for something. Clothes of all description were flying about the room, creating a pile and then shoving it back in her drawer before moving onto the next one.
"Um, Laura, what are ye doing, lassie?" Rahne asked in amusement.
"I am trying to find a tight crop top and some beige cargo pants and I need to find them A-SAP." X23 said, nearly pulling the entire draw out as she spoke.
"Okay, and, uh, why do ye need them? They sounda wee bit'…for you, since ye dislike all that skin showing' from Kitty's and Jeanie's stuff." The mirth in her voice froze X23 to the spot.
X23 looked over her shoulder and blinked a bit. Shit, Rahne had caught in possibly the worst situation and had the upper hand.
If she lied, Rahne would know because she could freaking well smell and hear it in her voice. And telling the truth would be a right pain in the ass, knowing the girl would always remind her. So, the only logical thing to do was…
"I have…training." X23 said lamely, cursing herself internally. "With…a friend…from school."
"A friend?" Rahne asked, crossing her arms with a wolfy grin. "Not one that you were hoping that could be planning on teaching you how to kiss?"
She had never been so red in her life, her pale cheeks starting the red that continued down her neck and coated her face. X23 gulped and then suddenly glared at her friend, narrowing her eyes in annoyance.
"Why do you care so much?" She snarled before going back to looking in her clothes.
A hand soon laid itself on her shoulder and X23 looked up to see Rahne holding a smallish black crop top, grinning at her friend. X23 took the object and held it up to herself; it would fit, despite it looking a little snug. Across the front was a series of red writing and when she turned it around; she smirk at the "Don't Mess With".
She looked at her roommate with a questioning face, Rahne shrugging in response.
"I figured you can handle anything that any kid could possible do to you." Rahne said, smirking. "You can borrow it on the condition that I get to tag along."
X23 sighed and nodded, not expecting the hug from the Scottish lycanthropic. X23 giggled a bit with her friend and hugged briefly back. An idea popped into her head and she pulled away.
"You could train with use if you want. I'm sure he won't mind teaching two of us." X23 suggested, the grin soon match on the other girl.
"Why not? I got nothing better to do." She said with a smile as she grabbed another tank shirt. "Beside, I then get to meet this hansom stranger of yours."
"Fine; you don't have any cargo pants on you by any chance?" X23 asked after a snort as she changed her shirt.
"No, but I think there might be some lying around the laundry." Rahne said her tank already on.
X23 was busy looking at herself in a mirror; it was snug as she thought but it was pulled up a bit along her stomach. She had never shown this much skin in public before, but considering how Todd was going to were no shirt at all, she felt a bit better about it.
Grabbing her black jacket, X23 and Rahne hurried down the stairs and rushed along the corridor to the laundry. Inside the room, X23 immediately found two pair of the needed cargo pants.
As X23 changed into them, she found that Jean's pants were a shade large and this results them in hanging off her hips. X23 was about to change when she thought about something and smirked.
Looking at Rahne, she was flabbergasted at the fact the pants fit her fine and growled when Rahne laughed at the sight of X23. Tying her shoes on fiercely, X23 walked out and pulled her hair back into a quick ponytail and then zipped her jacket up as Rahne followed.
Scott was just walking in with Jean and the pair just froze at the sight of X23, the clone girl raising an eyebrow at the sight of them while Rahne caught up. X23 was still a little angry at what had happened to Todd.
"What?" She asked a little coldly after a few minutes, walking past them.
"Where are you going?" Scott asked, his keys plucked from his hands as X23 walk past.
"To the park. I have to meet someone from school there." X23 said flatly walking out to the red car.
"Hey, sugar." X23 looked around and saw the gothic belle Rogue jogging after them. "Ya'll want me ta drive? No offense, this isn't a Bradley Assault Vehicle and you can't distinguish one from another."
X23 shrugged and got in the car with Rahne, the three X-Girls disappearing in a cloud of dirt with a flabbergasted Scott and a slightly irked Jean left in the doorway.
"I wonder what her issue is now." Ask Jean, gesturing to the direction of the clone, the Goth and the werewolf. "Don't you Scott?"
Silence
"Scott?"
"She took my car…"
The red convertible pulled up at the main entrance to the park and X23 hopped out with Rahne. Turning back to Rogue, X23 tried to figure a good enough time for her to pick them up.
"We shouldn't be much more than an hour and a half." X23 said as she squatted near the car window.
"Okay, sugar. If I don't see ya, I'll take a walk around." X23 nodded at the response and watched as her Southern friend drove off.
The girls walked into the park and X23 spent most of the time grinning as Rahne tried to guess which guy was the one she was trying to meet up with. As they walked along the pathways to the field, X23 was able to pick up the traces of the Capoeria music.
Paraná ê, Paraná ê, Paraná
Ela que bateu o pé firme, Paraná
Isso não acontecer, Paraná
Paraná ê, Paraná ê, Paraná
É de vera que o morro, Paraná
Se mundou para a cidade, Paraná
Paraná ê, Paraná ê, Paraná
The metal twanging vibrations rang clearly to her due to X23's and Rahne's heighten senses, the wolf girl picking up on the sound as well as X23 hurried them along. The drums were also audible and with the gentle drum beats, were the voices of the singers carried.
The two girls hurried along the path and soon reached the source of the music, a small boom box that ran off of batteries. What was there surprised them to the point that they were in a stunned sort of silence at the controlled chaos before them
Paraná ê, Paraná ê, Paraná
Ela que bateu o pé firme, Paraná
Isso não acontecer, Paraná
Paraná ê, Paraná ê, Paraná
É de vera que o morro, Paraná
Se mundou para a cidade, Paraná
In front of the boom box were Todd and Mr. Smith, their white pants flaring around fiercely as they sparred.
Todd had just finished back flipping into handstand and the green mutant let legs split open as he twisted his hips around slowly. Mr. Smith leaned over to the side in time with the kicks as both of his student's feet swept over his head. As Todd landed on his feet, Mr. Smith turned the other way quickly and planted his hands on the ground.
X23 eyes went wide as she recognized the attack and was surprised when Todd just leaned with the kick. He then twist back to the other direction, throwing was seemed like a side kick at Otero's face. X23 was surprised that despite the fast attack coming at his face and that he was going in the opposite direction, Otero was able to bend away in a back flip.
Todd, however, appear to not be in the mood with letting up on his teacher; twisting his upper torso as he foot landed, Todd's hips threw both of his feet in a spin kick. X23 gasped with Rahne collectively, having had the same attack done to her and know how much it could possibly hurt.
His body was lifted up a good foot and his legs some how stayed impossibly straight. The kick itself forced Otero to drop back away from the flying amphibious mutant, surprise and pride all overt his face; X23 guessed the maneuver was exceptionally hard to do.
X23 turned her head slightly and smirked at the surprised expression of her roommate. The Scottish girl was floored by what they were doing, much like how X23 had been.
"Impressed?" X23 asked a bit smugly.
"This is what ye wanna to do?" Rahne asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, it's absolutely amazing and I think it could help me gain better control of myself." X23 said looking back as Todd landed
Todd's unbelievably flamboyant attack repeated the moment he landed and Otero was surprised even more by the maneuver as Todd landed on the balls of his toes. Todd began twisting around in a tightly controlled spin and the next thing X23 saw was his foot flying around in a spin kick.
"I'm guessing' a lot her', lassie, but it's the flying' green boy that ye got yer fancy set on?" Rahne asked with a sly grin and X23 looked sharply at her. "Ye do know he is a Brotherhood member, right?
"Yeah, why?" X23 asked quietly, her unseen left hand clenching.
Rahne shrugged, glancing at X23 as she spoke. "Just checking; he is kinda cute, even if his hair is a wee bit too long…"
X23 did a double take at Rahne and when the other girl giggled, the clone sighed as her friend dragged her closer to the two. Otero back flipped over his attack and launched a side kick, forcing Todd to drop back and resume his moving stance. Otero, now on the offensive, dropped down and swept his foot along the floor.
Todd had to cartwheel away but Otero then swung his body around and did a handstand on one arm, his right leg moving too fast for Todd to dodge. The foot hammered his chest and sent him to the ground, signaling a time out when he was still.
"Okay, yo. You won by sheer luck." Todd said as he stood, rubbing hi chest slightly.
"Heh, yeah, whatever Sapo; you might be catching me up but you aren't there yet." Otero said as he and Todd clapped hands together. "I was impressed by your armada com duas pernas. I honestly thought you hadn't gotten that far yet; it's take a lot to kick like that with both feet."
"Ha, it's easy enough to understand when you watch it enough times, yo." Todd said as they walked to the boom box and paused when he saw X23, grinning at her.
The boy's body was covered in fine sheen of hard earned sweat, increasing the slight definitions his body had. His wrist band were the only thing on his upper body and the whit pants he wore, although were loose at the legs, seemed to be very form fitting at his waist.
X23 knew that if she wasn't trained to act the opposite of the way she felt, the clone girl would most likely jaw slack, drooling over the long haired green teenager. Suddenly, her mouth was very dry with the way his grin was directed at her and the shout that followed.
"Yo, X!"
