Sorry I haven't updated in a while! School got crazy busy! But, I did manage to finish one of my fanfictions, so I am currently working on this one, so hopefully it will get completed soon. Anyways, please read and leave me a review!
I heard the alarm for the mansion going off, pulling me out of my sleep. I rolled over and began to try to get my stuff.
"Relax, Chérie. C'est moi."
"Remy? What are you doing here?"
"Remy just came by to see his Cherie again."
"You crazy Cajun. I don't want to see you."
"Analise, ma Chérie. Je t'aime."
"You left, Gambit. You made the choice to leave when I needed you the most. And you waited two years before returning."
"I was delayed, Cherie. Something came up that was out of my control."
"Ha, yeah right."
"Cherie, just look into my mind." At this point, I was so mad; I wished I could see so I could hit him properly.
"No, Remy. I refuse to enter into the mind of someone who isn't a teammate, or a threat."
"Well, Cherie. Today is my lucky day. I am back, for good this time. Professeur Xavier sent me up here to tell you myself."
"What?"
"I'm here to train with y'all. Improve my control. Help you in whatever capabilities I can. Professeur Xavier seems to think this will help you the most. And, I brought someone else with me that could use the Professeur's help. She is very powerful."
"Three new students. Wow. Sounds like it could be fun. Guess that means it is time for me to get ready to meet them all. I haven't met the one that Alex brought with him, and she has been here for about a month."
Remy let out a laugh, showing is first sense of humor since he walked into my room. "Doesn't sound like you at all, Chere. You're Miss Sociable. Not meeting people is so very odd for you."
"I detect a hint of sarcasm, Gambit," I said, using his "mutant" name. I tried to walk out of my door, but managed to run into Remy. "Move, please. I have a training session I need to get to."
"Oui, Chere. That is the reason I was sent up here. Your training session today is with me."
"Very funny, Remy. Charles wouldn't do that to me." I somehow managed to shove him out of the way and started walking down the hall. I moved as quickly as I could, hoping to escape from him. I could hear rapid, heavy footsteps following me. I went to turn where I knew a corner should be, but ran into a kid instead. "Oh! I am so sorry! I can't believe how clumsy I am! Are you alright?"
"Storm, meet Analise. Analise, meet the girl I told you about. Storm, why don't you help Miss Analise to get to the Danger Room that you were shown."
"Ok, Gambit." I heard a young girl say with an accent I couldn't place. I felt her grab my hand and start pulling me along.
"Slow down, Chere! Analise can't see where she is going!" I heard Remy call out behind me. I felt a sharp tug and felt myself being pulled into a new direction, promptly hitting a wall head first.
"Ow." I said as I rubbed my head.
"Sorry, Miss!"
"You're fine, sweetheart. What is your name again?"
"I'm Ororo, ma'am. But, the villagers call me Storm, their goddess."
"Goddess, huh? That's pretty cool. What are your powers?"
"Oh, I can control the weather. My tribe never went hungry, or had issues with the weather. It was very good. I helped people there. What do you do here?" For a young girl, she sure sounded conceited.
"I am an instructor here, Storm. I help students learn how to control their powers."
"How can you do that if you can't even see?"
"Storm! Apologize right now!" I heard Remy cry out. I felt a hand hug my shoulder, attempting to be a comforting gesture.
"Why? I am a Goddess. She is just a girl." I could hear the smugness in her voice. I tried to keep my temper undef control, but it was a losing battle. I reached out and forced my way into her mind. I could feel her trying to resist me, but I knew I was stronger with her.
Let's see what you fear, Goddess. I am not someone to anger. I began to pull out her deepest fears, making them evident to her. The one that seemed to affect her the most was enclosed spaces. She almost had a panic attack, so I immediately pulled out and left her there. I began to walk away, not wanting to hear Remy's thoughts on what I had done.
I made my way to the Danger Room, which Hank was still working on improving. He insisted that we had the most advanced technology available to us, but I knew he was always working on improving what we did have.
"Hank! Are you down here?" I called out after hearing the doors open.
"To your left, Analise." I heard his soft-spoken voice call out. I walked over to where he said he was, preparing myself for the lecture I knew was coming my way.
"Hank, I think I just tortured our newest student."
"What happened?" I explained to Hank was had occurred, knowing that what I had done was wrong. "Well, if anything, I think that you just helped her. She wouldn't have made it far in the world with that kind of attitude."
"I just feel bad about nearly causing her a panic attack. I never want to cause someone harm like that using my powers. That's not why I have these abilities..." I could feel my guilt taking over, and tried to stop it, knowing how connected my emotions were to my mutant abilities. I heard the door open and a group of footsteps enter into the room. I heard Hank stand up and prepare to talk to the group assembled before us.
"Welcome to the Danger Room. For those of you who have never trained with us before, I am Dr. Hank McCoy, also known as Beast, and I am one of the Instructors here. To my right is Analise Davis, my co-instructor. Her codename is Nightshade. While in here, we will only refer to each other using these codenames. As I call your name, introduce yourself and tell us your powers. Alex!"
"My name is Alex Summers, but in here I am known as Havok. I am able to shoot high-powered beams from my hands."
"Scott!"
"'M Scott, also known as Cyclops. My powers are similar to Havok's, my brother. I shoot a beam out of my eyes. I can't control it on my own though."
"Jean!"
"Hello, my name is Jean Grey. I have telepathic capabilities, but my main power is telekinesis. My code name is Marvel girl."
"Thank you, Marvel Girl. Gambit, you're up!"
"Bonjour, mes amis. Je m'appelle Remy Lebeau, but you can call me Gambit. My power is being able to convert potential energy into kinetic energy and, basically, make it go boom."
"Ororo Monroe."
"My name is Storm, and as my name implies, I can control the weather. I am from Africa, and I was a Goddess there. Here, I am just like you." I was impressed to hear what sounded like a change in attitude from the young girl.
"Thank you, Storm. Alright, everyone, let's get started."
