Luckily nothing more has happened to do with my powers, though it was a bit scary having all these strange things happening, first the crazy vision thing and now the falling, but so far neither have happened more than once. All this uncertainty is rather unsettling. I am back at school now; in fact right now I am sitting at a picnic table in the upper part of school with the others.

"Go to Duncan Matthews's party? I don't think so" Scott's voice pulls me from my thoughts.

"You gunna finish that Moo Juice?" Evan asks, I am generally confused by that statement until I realise he is referring to the milk.

"You can have mine" Jean offers, Evan takes the carton and drinks it. "Come on! It might be fun!"

"Mathews is a Jerk!" Scott protests, and I pretty much agree with him, besides I don't really do parties, and even if I did I don't think Middle school people are allowed.

"No he's not! I'd go!" Kitty objects

"No freshmen allowed" Scott points out, well I was right.

"Mathews is a Jerk" she agrees huffily.

"Half of the school'll be there, suppose somebody gets too close to Kurt?" Scott protests, "That Hollo-projecter won't stop them from feeling his fur"

"Hey! Chicks dig the fuzzy dude! Right?" Kurt objects and turns expectantly to me and Kitty.

"I am, like, so outta here!" Kitty announces, getting up and leaving. "Later!"

"Oh yeah, she can't resist!" Kurt boasts, I roll my eyes at that.

"I'm trying to be serious here! Look, we go to Matthews's party, suppose Dukes or Maximov try to start something?" Scott points out, "We're not the only mutants in the school you know"

"Yeah, just the cool ones!" Evan laughs and him and Kurt high five.

"Hey, come on Scott what's wrong with a little socialising?" Jean insists.

"I'm sorry but I just don't think it's a good idea!" Scott stands his ground.

"But Dude! It's just a party!" Kurt exclaims and jumps onto the table, "Time to shake that tail Whoohoo! Party! Party! Party!"

"Hey watch the tail!" Scott complains, grabbing hold of Kurt's tail and using it to pull him off the table.

"Ow!" Kurt shouts,

"Now see, that's exactly what I'm talking about!" Scott persists.

"You pulled my tail, man!" Kurt exclaims.

"Grow up Kurt!" Scott shouts.

"Hey, lighten up dude!" Kurt retorts.

"You're always goofing around!"

"And you're seriously cramping my style!"

"Listen…!"

"No you listen! There's a sound I want you to hear and it's…" with that Kurt ports away.

"Blew it didn't I" Scott relinquishes once the smoke has cleared; I hope frantically that no one saw.

"Oh yeah"

"Totally"

We all nod in agreement.


About five minutes later we all split off and go to our lessons, on the way to the lower part of school I see a strange flash in one of the alleys, I decide to go and investigate and find toad holding a strange mechanical device. Unfortunately he spots me and points it at me.

"Let's see this thing work again!" he exclaims and as he does a strange light comes out of the device, straight at me. The beam hits me, but it doesn't hurt, it just makes me feel strange and tingly. I opened my eyes and looked around, it looked like I was in the corridor, how did I get here? Was that thing a teleporter or something? The corridor seems strange and empty; shouldn't it be crowded with people? It is the end of break. I notice that there are people, strange see through people that seem to ghost in and out; maybe they are ghosts, except they look just like the people at school. Maybe I'm the one who's a ghost? Did I die? If so, was Mummy here? Was anybody here at all?

At that moment there is a strange noise and an office chair falls from the ceiling. Falling furniture? Just when I thought it couldn't get any weirder. I walk around aimlessly, not really knowing what to do when I hear a voice, a clear voice, not like the distorted ones of the ghost people.

"Vhoa, someone's really giving that device of yours a workout!" the voice exclaimed.

"That gizmo is a trans dimensional projector, my science fair project back in '78" another voice explains, wait dimensional? Did that mean I was in another dimension? And did he say 1978? How is that possible? Wait, that first voice was Kurt? Yes I recognised it! "When I fired it up it created this pocket dimension that I call middleverse, I got caught in the day myself and I've been here ever since"

"'78! But you still look…" Kurt exclaims

"Like I did then" the other boy finishes for him, "I know, I can't explain it, they shut down and locked my lab after the accident, everyone was totally freaked when I disappeared."

"So there's no way back?" Kurt asks, that question makes my blood run cold.

"Not without help from the other side" the boy concludes, "And I'm thinking that you may be able to help out on that, man I'm telling ya, I'm ready to go home"

I follow some ghost-girls into the gym where I see Kurt and another boy with some more mechanical devices attached to his arm.

"So, just how far does this middleverse extend?" Kurt asks as the girls disappear, neither of them notice me.

"Stops just short of the girls locker room, isn't that a burn" the boy consoles

I step forwards, the boy seems shocked at my appearance and his arm becomes gun like and he points it at me.

"Relax man, this is Fliss, did you get zapped here too?" Kurt asks me, I nod, "Hey, it's ok, Forge here is gunna get us out!"

I look towards the other boy.

"So are you… like us?" Forge asks.

"A Mutant, yahr, she is" Kurt answers for me.

"What can you do?" the mechanical mutant asks, however the conversation is slightly interrupted by part of a tree falling from the ceiling, shocked by its appearance I jump back into the air and blast it which a photon blast.

"Vell, zhat answers zhat" Kurt concludes, sounding glad he doesn't have to explain it. Forge resumes his work while Kurt and I watch him.

"Ha! Done!" Forge exclaims, his arm transforms back into a normal arm.

"Vhat iz it?" Kurt asks, looking at the belt-like device.

"This little baby will alter the phase shift frequency of your teleport power" Forge explains.

"Uuh my English is a little limited" Kurt admits, confirming my belief that Forge was speaking complete gobbledygook.

"You'll be able to teleport back to the real world!" Forge explains.

"Alright!" Kurt exclaims

"But only for a sec, these batteries don't have much power" Forge explains, "Still with luck you can tell someone how to reset the projector to get us back"

"Oh I just hope they don't think I'm joking" Kurt frets, gaining a blank look from Forge, "I kinda have that rep"

We make our way through middleverse back to the underground lab, I'm not sure why but Forge says we need to. Right after we arrive a ghost-rogue walks in.

"This is where it happened" she tells the Ghost-X-men that follow her in. the Ghost-Cyclops bents over and picks up what looks like Kurt's earpiece.

"If you've hurt him, or Fliss, I'm gunna…" Ghost-Scott threatens.

"You start threatening me and your never gunna find your friends" Ghost-Rogue retorts.

"Take it easy Cyclops" Ghost-Jean tries to calm him down.

"Yeah, Cyclops, just like I'm always telling you" Kurt agrees even though they can't hear him.

"Yo, guys, we've been running a diagnostic on this thing" Ghost-Kitty pipes up.

"Can you believe it?" Ghost-Evan, who is holding the device while Ghost-Kitty analyses it, exclaims, "It uses CPM, I mean talk about retro, man"

"It's putting out some kinda, like, steady low power pulse wave that just seems to disappear into thin air" Ghost-Kitty explains

"And that means what exactly?" Ghost-Scott asks irritably.

"Well we figure that the pulse has trapped the crawler and Laser in some other dimension" Ghost-Evan explains, yes! They were getting it! Now we just have to tell them to reset!

"Ok so let's trash this thing!" Ghost-Scott exclaims, putting his hand to his visor.

"No! No! No! They've got it all wrong!" Forge shouts in anguish, "If they destroy the projector we'll be trapped here forever!"

Kurt and I gasp; we have to tell them now! Ghost-Scott places the projector on a table and tells everyone to stand back. No! He can't destroy it! He just can't! I don't want to be stuck in here forever! How am I supposed to save the world and meet superheroes if I can't even walk across school? I stand in a state of shock as they debate how to destroy it. If it was any other time I would've been as amused as Kitty about the boy's obsession with explosions, even if I did share it a bit, but now I was in mortal peril. Well maybe not mortal but peril none the less.

"Forge! Hurry! I think they're gonna nuke the projector any secont!" Kurt exclaims as Forge attaches the equipment to him.

"Done!" Forge exclaims, turning his arm back to normal, "I think it'll make you visible for a second, but I was so rushed putting it together, I…"

"Just tell me what to do!" Kurt interrupts

"Push that button and teleport" Forge explains "Tell them not to destroy the machine, they have to reset it instead, but you've only got a second before the battery fries"

"Right" Kurt resolves, "I'm gone"

He presses the button and vanishes in his usual puff of smoke; I can only hope that they believe him. There is a flash of yellow light and Kurt re-appears only ghostly like the others, who are shocked to see him.

"Reset! Don't des…" the Ghost-Kurt tries to explain but is cut off as he is dragged back to middleverse.

"You guy's saw that right?" Ghost-Cyclops asks.

"He's still alahve!" Ghost-Rogue exclaims

"What was he saying?" Ghost-Jean questions.

"He said reset don't" concludes Ghost-Spyke, "As in don't reset it, he wants you to blow it up! Do it!"

No! I panic; they've got it all wrong!

"It sounded more like a warning to me" Ghost-Scott reasoned.

"Do you think they'll get it?" Forge asks Kurt.

"I just hope they believe it!" Kurt worries

"A warning? From the Goof-man himself? Nah, come on! Shred that sucker!" Ghost-Evan dismisses, Kurt cringes.

"Man, you do have a rep!" Forge exclaims.

"No" Ghost-Scott objects, "Nightcrawler's a joker but even he knows when it's time to get serious"

"Yes!" Kurt celebrates.

"Look if he wanted to blow up the projector why didn't he say don't reset, instead of reset then don't?" Ghost-Cyclops continues

"Oh Cyke! You da man!" Kurt exclaims

"I think he wants us to reset this thing" Ghost-Scott concludes.

"Score!" Both Kurt and Forge celebrate. I watch as the ghost-figure of my teammate tries to figure out the strange technology, crossing my fingers and hoping he does. The machine begins to shake then the beam comes out of it and creates a red-yellow portal right in front of us.

"Come on! Teleport through!" Scott yells through.

"Hang on! Let's go!" Kurt warns but Forge stops him.

"We can't, the battery's tapped out!" Forge exclaims, "We need more juice to get us home!"

I point wide eyed at the diminishing size of the portal, Kurt sees also.

"Look!" he exclaims.

"The portal won't last much longer, it's now or never!" Forge explains frantically.

"Come on! What's the matter?" Scott calls from the other side. "Let's go!"

"Anozer power source?" Kurt contemplates, "I know! Come on!"

And he ports all three of us to the middle of Middleverse.

"Groovy ride" Forge exclaims, "But where's this power source?"

"Check it!" Kurt says, pointing to a green convertible car in the middle of the corridor.

"Far out man!" Forge exclaims, transforming his arm into its metal form.

"I swear, that homie's lingo is so wack!" Kurt comments to me, I roll my eyes because from my point of view his isn't much better.

Forge quickly connects the equipment to the car battery and Kurt starts the engine, I slip in the back seat and do up the seatbelt.

"You sure this will work?" Kurt asks

"No" Forge replies.

"Vunderbar, let's hit it!" Kurt exclaims and slams his foot on the accelerator, then I feel the shifting sensation of teleporting and all of a sudden we are back in the lab, both of the boys whoop excitedly. As we swerve straight towards the three brotherhood boys, Blob slams the front of the car making us screech to a halt and the airbags burst.

"Good thing I'm the Blob!" he exclaims before turning and walking off.

"Yeah you can say that again" Toad agrees

"Ah, come on guys, this party's over" Lance relinquishes and they all leave.

"What the heck are these?" Forge asks, feeling the air bags, having apparently missed their invention from being in middleverse.

"Re-entry cushions, cool eh?" Kurt explains. We climb out of the wrecked car.

"I've been meaning to ask" Forge turns to Kurt, "Is she ok? She hasn't said a word at all"

"She doesn't" Kurt explains, "Vell she can speak but she just doesn't"

We all troop out of the secret lab, I notice that it is now dark, had we been in middleverse that long?

"You're welcome to crash with us for a while, Forge, Xavier's cool, you'd like him" Scott offers

"Thanks but I better go find my parents, I'm twenty years late for curfew" Forge jokes, "Thanks for bailing me out"

"Hey any time!" Kurt accepts

"Hop in, I'll give you a lift" Scott offers

"No problem it's just a few blocks" Forge dismisses

"Ok" Scott relinquishes, "But if you need any help, just call"

"Sure, I'll do that!" Forge takes the paper Scott hands him and walks away.

"See ya dude!"

"Later"

"Bye Bye"

Everyone makes their various goodbyes. We all get in the car; there is just enough room if I squish between Evan and Kurt.

"Uh, you're gunna have to duck until we can get you a new hollowatch" Scott tells Kurt after arranging the mirror.

"So it's true! You really are ashamed of me!" Kurt says in mock distress, they both burst out laughing.

"Right dude! Hey, listen, about what happened before, my bad" Scott admits

"No it was on me too" Kurt protests.

"Maybe… Maybe you're right, I take things too seriously, I need to lighten up some" Scott admits

"Oh Scott not you!" Jean laughs

"Check his temperature" Kitty suggests. "Mr Military's goin' soft!"

"Yeah and I could probably dial down the goofing a little" Kurt agrees,

"Ah, welcome back!" Scott exclaims "Ok, so now what do you say we head home gear up and run a level three training sim in the danger room?"

This suggestion is met by various groans and complaints.

"Ah, see that's what I'm talking about, always serious!" Kurt complains"

"Skye!" Scott shouts, we all burst out laughing.

"Very nice, there's hope for you yet!" Kurt compliments.

"Yeah, well tell me about it on the way to Duncan Matthews's party" Scott suggests.

"Aw, I can't go remember? I'm, like, a freshman" Kitty says disheartened.

"Hey, you're also one of the X-men" Scott points out.

"Don't worry, we'll make it happen!" Jean laughs

"Let's roll!" Kurt shouts as we drive off. I'm not exactly sure what this party will be like, but at least I'm going with my friends!


So that's it, next chapter is the Fliss-chapter, then I think I will do an aftermath chapter. I am skipping out episode 7 since Fliss wouldn't be on the trip as she is too young. Hope you enjoyed the quick update.

Review!

Bye for now
