I do not own Just My Luck, McFly, or X-Men!
Chpt. 7 (Abbey's P.O.V.)
I woke up the next day really early, so I decided to watch some Ghost Busters movies in the rec room. Just as I popped the movie in, the rec room doors opened.
"Hey Tom." I said, not bothering to run around. By the way he walked; I could tell who it was.
"That's creepy how you can tell it's me." I smiled and turned to him.
"Come to watch some movies with me?"
"Sure, what are we watching?" He asked as he walked to the sofa in front of the T.V. and sat down.
"Ghost Busters." I said once the movie began playing.
"Are you serious? I love them, they're like my heroes!" I laughed at him.
"Funny how you have fake heroes when you're a hero yourself." His smile faded and he looked away from me to the floor.
"Yeah, it is funny." I noticed his sudden mood change and ignored the movie.
"What's on your mind?" I asked him. He let out a deep sigh.
"My ex, Gio. If I didn't become a mutant, we'd be together, but I did. Now she thinks I'm a monster…I can't get over her."
"But if you didn't become a mutant, then you wouldn't have met your new friends…and me." He looked up at me and smiled.
"I guess that's always a good reason for becoming a mutant." His smile was so warm, I couldn't help but blush.
"So, any of your friends have any secret crushes?" I asked with a smirk.
"Ah yes. Harry fell head over heels for Imogen. Danny doesn't really like anyone yet, and Dougie…I think he has a thing for that mysterious girl, Prue."
"I could feel the tension between Dougie and Prue. They haven't said too many things to each other but they kinda look like…"
"They're in love?" Tom filled me in. I nodded. "And there's also something about Nikki that had Dougie on edge." Tom's eyes widened. "Do you know something?" I asked him.
"Uh…um…" I could tell he was hiding something.
"Tom?"
"Alright, I can't keep this from you. Dougie and Danny overheard Nikki and the Professor talking. Nikki is Dougie's sister." My jaw dropped open.
"Not uh!" He nodded.
"Dougie said he won't believe it until Nikki tells him herself."
"Wow…long lost siblings." Then there was a knock at the door, disturbing the news I just found out. "Come in!" I said and the doors opened. Danny walked in he looked a bit frantic.
"Dan, what's wrong?" Tom asked.
"A human frog! He just jumped from the ground to my window!" Tom's jaw dropped open.
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Doug hit him with a book, but then something took him out the window! He was covered in blue energy!" I jumped up and ran to the front door. There, on the front lawn stood the Brotherhood. Floating above them, surround in blue energy was Dougie. He was struggling to get free.
"Long time no see, Abbey." Lance said with a smirk.
"I see you're still wearing a fruit bowl for a helmet." I said. He glared at me and his eyes rolled backwards in his head. Then the ground began shaking.
"Whoa!" Tom and Danny yelled as they fell to the ground. I made the ground become still and then I pulled a piece of the ground up and sent it flying towards Lance, but it stopped.
A girl with short brown hair, a pale complexion and green eyes stopped the rock. She smirked.
"Huh, how bout that, we both can control earth. Too bad I can control other elements." Her eyes turned orange and the ground around me caught fire. The flames burned my bare feet.
"Abbey!" Tom yelled. He jumped towards me and picked me up, and then he flew into the sky. "You okay?" He asked. I clung to him, afraid to be in the sky. I didn't want him to know I was afraid so I nodded, but the pain in my feet hurt so bad. I looked at the ground and the girl's eyes turned black.
"Take a load off!" She said with an evil grin. A gust of wind sent Danny flying onto the front porch of the mansion.
"Easy Copy Cat, we don't want to hurt them." Wanda said with her own evil grin.
"Oh my apologies, let me help you." The girl known as Copy Cat said to Danny sarcastically.
"It's a shame a pretty face like yours is working with the bad guys." Danny said with a smirk and the girl immediately blushed.
"Shame you don't have any good instincts to let you know when you fell into a trap!" I voice yelled. Then a black image object came from the front door and tackled the girl to the ground. It was Prue.
"Nice Prue." Harry said as he came out with Nikki, Imogen, and Bianca. They were all in uniform. Imogen's looked like Nikki's but it didn't have arm sleeves. Prue jumped away from Copy Cat as she slowly got up. Tom landed on the ground and we joined them.
"That scumbag didn't tell us she was strong!" Copy Cat yelled as she backed away from us.
"Let's just see how tough she is." Wanda said making Dougie fly towards Prue and knocking her to the ground. The energy disappeared from Dougie and he groaned from the impact.
"Are you okay?" He asked Prue.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She answered as she got up. Then the ground began vibrating as Blob ran towards us.
"Holy shit!" Danny yelled in shock at the sight of Blob. Harry raised his hand and Blob rose in the air. Then Harry moved his hand to the left making Blob fly into some trees.
"Nice trick." Copy Cat said with a smirk. Then she did the same motion and sent Harry flying into the water fountain.
"Harry!" Bianca yelled as she ran over and Imogen followed.
"Get lost!" I yelled. I stomped the ground and the ground under Copy Cat, Wanda, Blob, Toad, Pietro, and Lance shot up, sending them each into the sky and falling back down to the ground.
"Guys, let's split!" Toad yelled as he leaped to the gates. Prue almost ran after him.
"Prue, don't!" Dougie yelled as he grabbed her arm. She looked at his hand on her arm and Nikki's attention turned to them. She seemed to have a smile on her face.
I looked back at the front lawn just as the Brotherhood ran away, leaving one behind.
"Hey look!" Tom said making everybody look where Copy Cat was lying.
"Is she okay?" Danny asked as he casually walked over to her.
"Danny, be careful!" Bianca told him as she helped Imogen pull Harry out of the fountain.
Danny bent down to Copy Cat. He ran his hand over her head gently.
"Hey, I think she's waking up!" He yelled to us, making us run over to them. We all circled her, but she didn't wake up.
"God damn Abbey, you knocked her out cold!" Bianca whispered to me.
"Well her and her Brotherhood lackeys shouldn't have messed with us." I whispered back.
"Especially Abbey." Prue said in a calm tone.
"And now we know why." Tom added.
"Well how do we wake her up?" Dougie asked.
"Not sure." Danny added.
"Maybe we should slap her?" Imogen suggested and everybody glared at her. "Just joking!"
"Anybody got water?" Nikki asked. Then we all looked at Harry who was sopping wet. Bianca motioned her hand from Harry and manipulated water off him and splashed it onto Copy Cat. She jolted up and Danny placed a hand on her.
"It's okay, we won't hurt you." Danny told her.
"Liar!" She jumped up, getting ready to attack him, but an object hit her in the head. It sounded like metal hitting another object.
She fell to the ground once more and we looked from her to Dougie who was holding Prue's hand. Dougie gave a weak smile and released Prue's hand.
"Sorry, I liked her better when she was quiet."
(In case you don't understand. Prue's skeleton is just like Wolverine's. So her bones are metal. Dougie used her hand as an object to knock Carys out.)
