Our Powers

Jade, Beck, and Rogue all made their way back to the lab where they were to complete their own missions. After arriving at the lab area and allowing Rogue to tap into Mark's power to crack into the lab.

While Rogue worked on the lab stuff Beck made contact with Cat again. "Hey Cat," he called into her mind.

"Hi Beck," she responded quickly.

"I just wanted to let you know we found Mark," he informed.

"Oh good! The ship is almost done so you guys should probably hurry," Cat updated.

"Oh ok thanks Cat." Beck and Cat ended the connection then. Beck followed Jade into the building and Bloom joined him in escorting the group. Rogue came along with them in order to handle the computer. The code was easy to retrieve with Rogue working with Mark's power and it was an in and out.

Suddenly without warning the building began to collapse. Beck grabbed Jade and held her close. Rin summoned several demons to her side and they picked up every member of the group and they ripped through the building and landed safely then disintegrated. "Thanks," Rogue said to Rin, Beck and Jade nodded their agreement.

Rin smiled at the group and nodded. "You're welcome," Rin smiled.

The group of twelve ran towards where Beck, Rogue, and Jade had all ran into the ship already. Already at the ship were Scott's group, Raven's, and Storm's as well. Jean and Night Crawler had yet to return to the ship. "Go," Jade said pushing Rogue gently to where she was staring at Scott.

Jade sat down and rested her head on Beck's shoulder as she waiting for the other teams to come so they could leave the simulation. She was hot and sweaty from the tight suit and regardless of what Scott said she didn't feel like she was airing out.

Beck kissed her and wrapped his arm around her. "You seem sleepy," he commented.

"I am," she admitted "but when we get in we have to go see Professor Xavier."

"Ya but after that we'll be able to sleep, and eat darling," Beck kissed her gently.

"Hey guys," Tori called appearing in the clearing with the last injured person in their grasp.

"Hello," a young girl said that was with Tori's group.

"Hi," Jade blinked at the lady.

"I like your nail polish," she said.

Jade smirked "it's black crackle. Would you like to borrow it sometime?"

"I'd love that, I'm Kikyo," she held her hand out.

"Jade," the two girls shook. "You don't seem like the type who would like black crackle nail polish."

"Well I admit I'm not a goth or anything but I like black," she shrugged.

"What's wrong with goths?" Jade asked becoming less happy with Kikyo now.

"Nothing I'm just not one," Kikyo said.

"Oh alright," Jade nodded. Kikyo went off to try and help her team and when finally the ship was up and running and everyone was gathered everyone got on and the ship took off. Scott and Storm were at the wheel and then the simulation shut down. Everyone stood and exited the room one by one.

"Please stay for a short debriefing with your team leader," Charles said over the intercom.

Erik pretty much told Jade and his team 'good job now get away' Jade was only too happy to oblige. Jade had to wait only on Beck since Raven followed Erik out allowing Cat to go free as well. After about ten minutes Jade walked up to Hank's group "do you mind? I have waited quietly and patiently for ten fricking minutes and that's far beyond what I normally do. All I see your little group doing is sitting by my boyfriend and cuddling up to his arms so if you don't mind," Jade landed her boot on that Missy girl's back and shoved her off Beck's arm. "Let's go Beck or you're out a girlfriend."

"I'll need to be going now," Beck stood and tossed an apologetic smile to Hank. "Come on maybe food first would be a good idea," he said.

"I don't want food I want to know why I'm suddenly more of a freak then I want a nap!"

"Ok," he said pulling her into his arms.

"Hey!" Missy said standing "what the hell is your problem?"

"Right now a prissy little slut making her way onto my boyfriend."

"You wanna go bitch?" Missy asked.

"Bring it I just learned how to kill people," Jade smirked.

"Let's see if you can!" Missy hissed hoisting Jade into the air. Beck hit the back of Missy's neck somewhat lightly but it definitely ruined her concentration.

Jade dropped to the floor and growled holding her hand up and her whip appeared. "Jade!" Cat called and rushed to her friend's side. "Come on," she helped her up.

"Are all the girl's here bitches?" Jade screamed to Rogue as Rogue too approached.

"I'm a girl," Rogue said.

"Kikyo was nice too remember?" Cat said.

Jade huffed and accepted Beck's hand. "No more fighting, I do apologize Jade's just stressed," Beck said. "But I don't think that she'll really be ok with team bonding," Beck smiled.

"Maybe you and I can just hang out then," Missy said dropping all pretenses of bitch.

"The only person Beck can talk to from this group is Hank, whom I actually think he should since he actually liked the parents he abandoned for me," she snuck a quick peck on his lips. "But now can we go to the Professor's?"

"Yes," Beck said taking her hand and pulling her away following Rogue.

"Sorry," Jade whispered.

Beck looked down at her "why?" he asked.

"For causing you trouble and losing you potential friends," she shrugged.

Beck kissed her gently "you're worth it," he smiled. She smiled taking his hand and they finally made it to the Professor's office.

Rogue knocked and Jade just walked in the rest following her. "Hello students," Charles smiled kindly.

"We're bigger freaks now," Jade said plopping in a chair. "Oh except Rogue she's still the same Rogue as before."

Charles smiled "so how can I help you?"

"I wanna know what we can do," Cat said "it was kind of confusing when we were in the mission but trying to figure it out."

"Well from what I observed you guys seem to be a packaged deal. You all feed off each other. Jade as may be obvious to absolutely anyone you are the leader, as such you are also the protector. That is why your powers provide you with a whip," Jade nodded listening closely. "Beck, and I mean this as no offense to either of you, you are the most intellectual of the group and as such you connect the groups thoughts. It makes it easier for you all to strategize and keep tabs on each other if you are ever separated. Also Beck you are able to heal minor wounds from what I observed," Beck smiled widely and hugged Cat's shoulders in a friendly manner. "Cat you connect everyone's body conditions. Which is why even though Jade got stabbed your side was wounded. Mainly what you and Beck do is keep Jade at a level she can continue to fight at. Since you and Beck are unable to be offensive you can also create a barrier which can defend as many as you wish."

"Wow that's so cool!" Cat squealed. "We're like the three musketeers."

Beck chuckled and Jade smiled softly. "Thank you for your help," Jade said nodding. "We'll let you and Rogue speak now, sorry to interrupt." With that Jade led Beck and Cat from the room.

"What did you want to speak to me about Professor?"

"I believe I have found the part in your brain which can allow you to be able to control your powers."

"Really Professor?" Rogue asked in excitement.

"Yes," the Professor smiled. "How about I meet you in the lab in half an hour and I'll open the section of control for you?"

"I'll be there!" Rogue smiled. "Thank you!" she said and hugged him her clothed skin protecting him from her life sucking mutation.

Rogue ran from the room and caught up to Jade, Cat and Beck. She jumped on Jade and hugged her "the Professor's gonna help me control my powers!"

"That's great," the group all gushed.

"I know I get to go down in half an hour," she jumped excited.

"Gotta show some skin after that," Jade teased.

"Oh ya you gotta let some legs loose," Beck joined. Jade almost scolded him but this was Rogue, Rogue was like Cat, nothing would happen.

"Jade and I will take you shopping and give you a make-over!" Cat cheered.

"Ya help you impress you know who," Jade winked. Rogue blushed but hugged her new friends.

"I'm gonna go tell Logan," Rogue said.

"Kay kay," Cat smiled "have fun."

As Rogue ran off the three 'musketeers' continued to the dining area "do you think maybe she actually likes Logan?" Beck suddenly asked.

Jade and Cat thought for a minute "probably," the both answered.

"Jade," a voice called and the group all turned "can I talk to you just for a second?" it was Tori.
