Once Ember got to Gryffindor Tower, she was already looking forward to a rip up the ground, all out fight, she managed get her claws to retract.
Ember ignored everyone in the tower and went straight for the girls 'side, she got her X-suit put on, she carried her gloves and boots back downstairs. Harry saw her and asked, "What's going on, Ember, you going out for a workout or something?"
Ember looked up, she never had a weakness before, she never had someone, she was absolutely committed to protecting, and she had found a brother, a maternal brother. "Or something." She didn't know whether she should tell Harry the truth or not. Professor Xavier learned the hard way that lying to people you trust wasn't a good idea. "There are some mutants that do not follow anyone's rules, Sabretooth and his prodigy are two of them, while as I'm bound to Professor Xavier in so many ways, I can't even begin to get straight."
"So in other words; I'm guessing one or both are coming and you got to stop them right." Harry judged by her clothes. "I know I'll be in the way, so just be careful please."
"One, who seems to think, I'm her rival like Logan and Sabretooth are. No idea, why, she wants to try to destroy me." Ember shrugged "All four houses will be in the great hall." She put on her boots, clipping them in place. She put on the gloves, she extended her claws to be sure that these gloves had slits. "Other than that, I'm looking forward to the fight."
"Still be careful and try not to get hurt, i just found you don't want you gone yet." Harry hugged her and went to join the others in the great hall.
Ember followed, "Harry, most mutants die from being experimented on, I didn't because I have a healing factor." She used one of her claws to slice her own arm, "Look."
"Aww no stop, don't hurt yourself." Harry grabbed her arm.
Ember jerked back, "Look at it, it's already closing up. I heal faster than normal. I have had a lot of wounds in my existence, and I am still walking." She didn't even feel the pain, "Honestly, I don't feel it."
Harry looked pale and shook his "I guess i cant help but worry still i'll let you handle this got kick some butt."
"Stop worrying, the only thing that can kill me is the same metal that my claws are made out from. I have been trained to cope with damage. I can't even be knocked out." Ember rolled her eyes.
Harry laughed and gave her a hug "Talk later then."
Ember ruffled Harry's hair, and then walked up to the professors. "You have two choices; close the great hall doors or using a shield charm to watch what I do?"
They both pulled out wands and cast a double shield spell and one even pointed to a field kit.
"What am I supposed to do with that?" Ember questioned
"It's just in case you or one of the students need it." Madam Pomfrey answers
"I'm not going to need that, I have never needed medical attention." Ember replied as she turned and walked back over to the doors, the shield charm was easy enough invisible, but Ember could still smell and hear the outside world.
Just then, they heard a voice yell out. "EMBER, EMBER, GET YOUR BONEY BUTT OUT HERE AND FIGHT ME!"
Ember snorted and step outside the shields, "Gee, did you miss me? I'm touched." She placed a hand to her heart. "Don't have Sabretooth here to back you up?"
The girl was about the same size as Ember, she had her hair in spikes, and sliver tipped, "I don't need that old fossil just like I'm sure your old man doesn't need to help you either."
"Logan's been tailing, you ever since you left." Ember replied, she extended her claws, much to the surprise of everyone in the hall behind her.
"Well then i guess then I'll have to make this quick." with that she jumped at Ember with her teeth bared.
Ember ducked and rolled, "Poor kitty can't get me." She stood up, a feral grin on her face.
"We'll see about that." and tossed a disc at her.
Ember sliced the disc in half, "Awe, can't fight be hand-to-claw huh, Sabretooth doesn't fight like that and you supposed to be his prodigy. Yeah right." She ran at the other feral mutant.
"Hey just because he teaches me don't mean i can't improve it." With that, she kicks out and hits Ember square in the jaw.
Ember shook her head, and punched the other feral in the side with her claws.
Wildchyld growled and gripped her arm and with a swing, threw Ember into the wall, and jumped on her slamming her head repeatedly into the wall.
"You messed up my hair!" Ember snarled out as she brought up her legs and kicked Wildchyld in the gut.
"I always said your hair was to long anyway don't you know the short look is in." with that she clawed Ember's face leaving four long gouges in her cheek.
Ember growled as the gouges began to heal, she charged at Wildchyld ramming her with all six claws into the wall.
"What's the matter Ember worried your boyfriend won't like the new look." She slashed her across the chest and then kicks her away.
Ember rolled, she needed to end this fast. "I don't have a boyfriend, why would I want one when all you would do is murder him to get to me." She spat out, as she got back on her feet. "Honestly, you are too stupid for your own good."
Wildchyld screeched and charged her once more slamming her in to the shield and tossed her to the wall once more.
Ember slammed her head backward into Wildchyld's face. "Get over yourself." Ember spared a glance at the wall, 'Wow there is going to be an Ember dent in that wall.'
"Why are you even here your better than then hell you don't owe anything to these flatlines." she stabbed Ember the her claws and then dragged her to the shield. "Look at them, they fear you want nothing to do with you, to them you're a beast, why defend them, huh little girl."
Ember looked at the others; the first year students were terrified of her, but the third years and up were staring at her in awe. The feral witch pulled herself free, and backhanded the other mutant. "I defend them, because I chose too."
"Then you're a bigger fool then I thought." With a final scream, she launched herself and clawed her all over trying to peel every bit of skin off her flesh.
Ember was just getting started when a red beam hit Wildchyld in the back, followed by a bolt of lightning.
Ember shoved the unconscious body off her, as Logan came jogging up.
"Hey Kid, you okay, this thing bothered you." Logan asked
"Peachy," Ember replied as she stood up; she looked back at the others in the great hall then to Logan and the X-men. Should she leave with her family or should she stay and deal with the aftermath? She joined the other mutants, as the professors lowered the shields.
Logan looked at the great hall and pointed to Dumbledore. "You're the joker in charge of these yahoos?"
Ember leaned against Storm as the older mutant, supported as her healing kicked in.
"Yes, I am the headmaster here." Professor Dumbledore answered he still couldn't believe what he had just witnessed.
Logan walked up him and gave him the once over.
"Wolverine." Scott warned as he stood close to Wildchyld.
Ember was wary as she left Storm's side to join Logan.
Harry walked over to Ember a bit nervous of the man next to his sister. "Ember, you okay?"
Ember nods, "Yeah, my uniform has seen better days now."
Harry chuckled and look over to Logan then pointed to him. "Wow, y-y-you're wolverine, I've seen you on the telly."
"And the other two are Cyclops and Storm." Ember commented "But this guy is where I get my temper from."
Harry gulped and nodded "It's nice to meet you, sir."
Logan looked at Harry, "Logan. No sir, just Logan."
"Thanks for helping, Ember. Logan, it means a lot." Harry beams at the other mutants as well.
Dumbledore steps forward and in a clear voice "please won't the three of you join us for dinner since your all here now."
"Got some chains we can use first?" Ember questions, "We have to chain up, Wildchyld."
"Of course it simple as this." With a wave of his wand, several chains bound wildchyld to the floor.
Storm walked up along with Cyclops.
"Nice place, but the wall needs fixing, unless you want the imprint of Ember still there." Cyclops states
Ember rolled her eyes, before introducing everyone.
Most of the student's just waves and give a nervous giggle the professors greet them with an ease of the social dance.
Ember stretched her joints cracking as they readjusted after the fight, "Storm, is my butt really that boney?"
Storm smiled "No I would say well toned but then I'm not one to judge such things."
"Professor Xavier is with your half-brother's relatives right now, I think he might resort to wiping their memories clear." Scott explained, "We came on ahead, because Logan called for backup."
"Oh good, I would hate to go on a cake eating spree." Ember laughed.
Fred came up "well in my opinion you look just fine."
Logan growled at Fred. "What's it, that's my daughter you're talking about."
"I meant she looks umm very fit sir." Fred stammered out backing quickly away from the older feral.
Harry heard what Scott said and turned to him "You mean I don't ever have to go back to them ever."
"Ember's part of the team, so that makes you an X-men by default and part of the family." Scott replied
Ember stared at Logan, in surprise. "Should I tell you that you have forty-eight other 'children'?"
Logan just smacked his head in disbelief.
"Fifty including Laura and I, but whatever." Ember commented
"I'm getting to old for this crap. Look Ember till the squirt gets to Xavier he's your headache that means you get him in to shape."
"You look good for someone who can't remember his real name or age." Ember replied, "And Harry's not a mutant as far we know."
"Don't get smart with me kid you know what I meant and just cause he ain't a mutant don't mean we can't put some muscle on him I can tell as well as you he ain't been treated well so build him up some ok kid." He ruffled her hair again.
"He's not training with you, he won't survive." Ember stuck her tongue out. She walked up with her hands on her head, heading out the doors.
