oOo
"Wait, what's a Danger Room?", Alyssa asked nervously, picking up on the only two words she could understand over the inaudible chatter of the three X men.
Kurt grinned, "It's like a training session. It's another vay for us to learn about our powers".
"Oh. Cool", she smiled, as the group stopped. They were standing in a hallway that had a more home-y feel to it.
Kitty opened the door in front of them and Kurt bamfed inside, holding his hands up in triumph, "This is your room Alyssa", he said.
Alyssa stepped inside and looked around in amazement. Her own room. It was huge, with a lovely cosy feel, and a balcony outside that overlooked the front garden. She smiled back at them all, "It's amazing".
Evan grinned back, "Hey, it's all yours, we're all friends here".
Before she got a chance to say thank you, Alyssa was pushed back out of the room. Taking a chance to speak while the others took a breath, she shot out, "So everyone in this place is a mutant right? Are there any others around? Like...". At this point, Alyssa was remembering Pietro and his friends, and how they'd reacted quite calmly when she'd nearly killed them all earlier. Well calmer than a normal person would act.
Evan just stared at her like he knew what she was thinking, "Why'd you ask?".
She shrugged, "Well, I just figured there must be some people who wouldn't join".
At that point, Kitty's grin fell, "Well yeah, like, there is the Brotherhood". Kurt growled instinctively, and Alyssa perked up. "Who are they?".
Evan, dropping his skateboard before stepping onto it, shoved the words at her, "They're this other group of mutants. They go to Bayville but they are not like us".
As Evan pushed the board down the hallway Kitty took over, "They're like, trouble makers, always like, looking for a way to start a fight. Trust me, you don't like, want to go near them".
Alyssa nodded, as the conversation took a different direction. But her curious eyes wandered away from their words as she thought more about what they had said. OK, so it had been pretty bad, but she figured they were just a group of people that didn't fit in around here. I mean, it was a school, and who in their right mind would live in a school?
They all quickly forgot about the mention, and she was brought through the rest of the mansion which included; a games room, a basketball court, neerly three floors of student bedrooms, the kitchen, breakfast room, living room and the front hall. She was then brought outside to be introduced to the rest of the X men.
oOo
In the garden, a series of explosions ringed across the grass, but before Alyssa could react, Kurt pointed out, "It's a training session. The new mutants are all practising".
Understanding, Alyssa now watched with interest as a group of kids dived and dodged guns and obstacles. Sitting back, she observed each of them, suddenly keen to know what their powers were. The new mutants were separated into three teams. One of them had a young brown haired boy followed closely by a girl who transformed into a wolf as they ran.
As they approached the first gun, the boy shot out a shard of ice which cut through it . "Rahne! On your left", he shouted. At this the wolf lunged at another gun that had burst out of the ground.
Another team stood on the other side of the garden. This one consisted of a dark black-haired boy, a slightly Chinese looking girl and a blond southern looking boy. The boy with black hair was standing with his arms lifted up to the sun, whilst the other two looked at him impatiently.
"Come on Roberto", complained the girl.
The boy grinned as he seemed to burst into fire. "Now you're talking!", he shouted, and the three started running down the paved path. Roberto burst through the metal walls that shot up from the grass, whilst the blond haired boy leapt into the air and cannoned through them. The girl threw out her hands at the guns and fireworks poured from them, disabling the machines.
The third and final team had a girl and two other boys in it. They all ran from a group of trees in the corner of the garden. The leader of the group, a boy with yellow and orange hair spiking uncontrollably from his head, shot out a bolt of electricity from his hand, targeting the machine guns sitting perched among the trees.
The girl, glowing in an orange aura, was irritably dragging the younger boy behind her, who was stumbling over his own feet. "Keep up Jamie, we're gonna lose!".
"Sorry Amara, I'm trying", Jamie stuttered, but just as he said it he tripped over a loose tree branch and fell to the ground, three copies of himself falling beside him.
Fascinated by the three teams, Alyssa saw the objective; a flag stood perched on the top of the spurting water fountain. The first team to get it, won. Simple.
The challenge went on for another ten minutes, with an intriguing amount of falling and dodging, and several explosions, before the flag was finally snatched.
As the class stopped, the students collapsed onto the ground. Sam held the flag up in triumph as Jubilee and Roberto acted smug, cheering and jaunting. Bobby punched the ground sorely, ice crackling from his knuckles, whilst Ray threw an electric zap through the ground until it reached Sam's foot and he jumped up, yelling.
Still amazed, Alyssa stood up and went over to them, following Kitty, Evan and Kurt.
As the new mutants stood up at the sight of the new girl, Kitty grabbed Alyssa's arm, "Hey guys this is, like, the new girl, Alyssa".
Bobby waved, overemphasising his own self-implied charm, "Hey, I'm Bobby, but you can call me Iceman". He was hit on the back of the head by a laughing Roberto, and Amara glared at him snootily before smiling at Alyssa
"I'm Amara. This is Roberto, Sam, Jubilee, Ray, Rahne and Jamie", she listed, pointing to each of the mutants in turn, and they all waved.
"Nice to meet you all", Alyssa said. Suddenly a thought went through her head, 'Alyssa, could you come into my office please, I'd like to talk with you', the Professors voice said. Seeing her holding her head, Kurt looked anxious before she explained, "I'm going to have to get used to someone reading my thoughts", she smiled.
Kurt nodded, "Don't vorry. Privacy still exists. Jean and the Professor only use it in emergencies". She nodded, "I have to go, they want to speak with me". With another smile at the group, she walked off back towards the mansion.
