Shadya Says; Another chapter completed. Yay! This is the exciting part, where we start to form allies and friendships among some of the crossover amazingness. Hurrah!
I do not own the Sailor Senshi they are Naoko Takeuchi's. Nor do I own any of the X-Men, they belong to Marvel Comics. I do, however, own Shadya, Suna, Kalman, and any other original characters which will pop up throughout this rather large crossover.
Chapter Six: First Encounters with the X-Men
At the mall …
Michiru, Haruka, and I leave the mall chattering happily, so caught up with our discussion we don't realize the people in front of us until we run into them head-on, "Ah, we're sorry. We didn't see you guys!" I apologize giving a small bow hoping they accept my sincere apology.
"Oh, don't worry about it. We didn't see you guys either." A guy nods smiling (Lance).
The three of us noticed an American accent, "Hmm, are you tourists?" Haruka asks looking at them with curiosity burning in her eyes.
"Um, you could say that. We're mainly here to help our professor with a recruitment drive." The girl that could easily pass for Lita's twin, or rather doppelganger answers (Kitty).
"That's nice, I hope you enjoy your stay in Tokyo." Michiru gives a pleasant welcoming smile. Then each of our groups take off in opposite directions.
At the Museum …
Amy was looking at project recently created by her friend from her computer club, Mercurious. Her mind, however, was still on the recent news of the 'visitors' from Raye the night before. 'They aren't from the negaverse, but are they friend or foe?' Amy thinks to herself, continuing on trying to focus on the project.
"What a remarkable experiment." A man says, startling Amy. Amy spun around in one quick motion to see who spoke, he was a bald and distinguished-looking gentleman in a wheelchair, which remarkably was hovering above the ground.
"Oh! Sir, I'm sorry, you startled me… I really didn't mean to stare." Amy apologizes realizing her rude behavior appalled.
"My apologies, I was just saying that this experiment was quite good." The man says nodding toward Mercurious's project.
"Yes, this experiment is good… The creator is a quite talented scientist for his age." Amy says moving her eyes back to his experiment.
"Yes, this Mercurious is quite talented; I would like to be acquainted with him." The man agreed nodding.
"Yes, he's an excellent scientist… and an excellent friend." Amy answers smiling.
"You know him?" The man asks raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, I've been in a computer club with him for a couple of years," Amy held out her hand, "I'm Amy, Amy Mizuno. And you are?" Amy asks smiling friendly.
The man grasped Amy's hand in a firm, but friendly handshake, "Charles Xaiver." The man responds confidently.
"Professor Charles Francis Xaiver?! The famous geneticist?!" Amy asks in pure shock.
"I see my reputation precedes me." Xaiver lets got of her hand and turns around in his wheelchair.
"Sir, if you don't mind me asking… What brings you to Tokyo?" Amy looks at him a bit curious. No reason could come to her why such a famous geneticist would be in Tokyo.
"I have reason to believe that there are some people who may benefit from my school… A sort of recruitment drive, if you will." Xaiver explains to Amy.
"Really, tell me more…" replies Amy. She decided to challenger Xaiver to a game of chess, so they could talk a bit more. After a while Amy glances at her watch and panics, "Oh my God! I'm late." Amy exclaims in horror. "I'm sorry, Sir, I have computer club and I'm late, I suppose I lost track of time."
"I understand, I have got my own places to be as well." Xaiver grasps Amy's hand once more in a friendly handshake. "You are an exceedingly good chess player; I haven't had this much of a challenge in a long time. I hope we can do this again, sometime." Xaiver comments smiling once more.
"Thank you kindly, Sir." Amy smiles and starts for the door, then stops in mid-step. Xaiver stared confusedly toward Amy, and she re-approached. She moved a final chess piece, "Checkmate." Amy beams and runs off towards the doors trying to escape to Computer Club at light speed.
Xaiver laughs softly and moved his focus back to the chess board. Amazed at how such a fine young woman could have beaten him with such a pure brilliant move without him even realizing it.
Outside the Cinema…
Lita, Mina, Raye, and Setsuna were walking out from watching a new movie. They were so distracted by their conversation about how good-looking the actors were or rather Raye scowling, while the other girls chattered on that they didn't even notice the group of people walking in front of them, at least until Lita ran into one of them. "Uf! Hey, watch it, Pal!" Lita yells without thinking rather rudely.
"Heh, you're the one who ran into me, Girlie!" A ruff voice answers fiercely.
Lita looks at the group, there was the man she ran into (Logan), another guy and a girl (Kurt and Kitty). Lita put her focus back on the man she walked into, "Well, you could'a gotten out of my way, Buddy!" Lita responds lifting her chin up and glaring fiercely.
"Yeah, right! I don't move for nobody, 'specially little gals' like you!" The man says laughing and lightly pokes Lita in the right shoulder.
Lita lets out a growl and gives him a glare of death. The man just growled right back, for what seemed like forever the two just stood there staring each other down. The aggression was mounting, but neither wanted to make the first move. Mina finally broke the silence by touching Lita's arm, "Come on, Lita, let's go. We're going to be late enough as is." Mina says and tugs lightly at Lita's elbow.
"Yeah, Logan, move it." The says pulling his hand in the opposite direction the girls were headed.
"Logan." Lita mumbled turning around and walking off, "I'll remember that name."
"Same here," Logan says stalking off in the direction Kitty appointed him.
As the girls walk off out of view and hearing range the rest of the group looks at them. The girl that bumped into Logan has brown hair, pulled into a pony tail, brown eyes, was very tall for her age, and had a tough look to her (Lita). The girl that touched Lita's arm had long blond hair pulled into a half pony tail tied with an orange bow, blue eyes, and had a caring look to her (Mina). The girl next to her had long black hair that fell to her knees, blue eyes, and had been scowling all the while the fiasco played out in front of her (Raye). The last girl has long black hair half pulled into a bun, brown eyes, and had a air of wisdom about her (Setsuna).
"Logan! Are you insane?!" Kurt blurts out; hitting Logan the second they were sure the girls were out of sight and hearing range, "She was just a kid!"
"A kid, yeah." Logan said, "But a kid with a temper to match her size 'n strength. D'ya catch 'er body language?! She's a bruiser, same as me. An' the day I stand down to someone like that is the day I'm six feet under." He glanced back in her direction and smirked, "Tough gal, though."
Outside the Park…
"See ya later, Michiru, Haruka!" I say as I leave them and start on my back to the penthouse suite. I managed to only get less than a block away when a guy runs into me knocking me off my feet and sending me sailing into a mailbox. The guy trips and falls forward and does a face plant into the concrete groaning in pain. The woman who was holding hands with him looks stunned for a moment, then busts out laughing at him.
"Miss, I am so sorry for my husband's clumsiness! Are you all right?!" The woman says looking concerned and then helps me up on my feet (Jean).
"Oh, I'll be fine. No need to worry." I say brushing some dirt off my school uniform.
"I am really sorry; I didn't see the crack in the ground… or you. I can't believe was so clumsy." The man apologizes (Scott).
"It's all right, really. It happens every once in a while in a big city. Everyone's in a rush, you know how it is. Well, I need to get going home. See ya." I say and run off to get back to clean up a gash from flying into the mailbox, which is now bleeding pretty badly on my arm.
