I'm so sorry its been so long! Enjoy the chapter. I hope its not too bad and i'm not going rusty :3
Rai was sitting in a classroom with the other Xavier students. Her hand was clasped in Harry's hand so tightly that their fingers had started hurting. She was terrified and didn't bother to hide her expression of fright, on the other hand Harry seemed unusually cool. She was looking at some other kids and it hit Rai that not all of them were from the Xavier Institute.
"So there are others." Harry muttered as her green eyes scanned a very pretty Goth girl in the back row, hair was a raven curtain which failed to hide the blood red eyes, her feet were on the desk rebelliously and she was using a tooth pick on some impressively large fangs and she shot a sneering glare at Harry who had changed into her usual human form which gave Rai the impression that she didn't quite want attention drawn to her blue self just yet. Kurt had ported into the room before anyone was around and he to was hiding behind his hologram. Scott and Jean were together exchanging worried looks and Kitty had dragged Even into the classroom, they were bickering with each other on how wrong this was. The other kids were standing around the edges of the classroom, you could practically cut the tension with a spoon. Harry had made sure Rai was near the window so she could absorb energy discreetly if she felt light headed. One last girl ran in before the government agents shut the door. Puffing and panting she collapsed in the desk in front. The girl looked like a circuit board with strange blue and yellow markings running along her skin. Her steel eyes stared at Rai and her equally grey lips tilted into a smile.
"You are all here to register. One by one you will come to the front and fill in the form on the desk. Any reasonable questions will be dealt with after you have filled in the forms. Anyone who is hiding their appearance should stop immediately. It is an act against government authority and the state."
No one moved.
No one dared.
This was really happening! One bleach blonde cheerleader in the middle of the classroom was the first to react. She slowly got two huge packs of baby wipes from her bag and scrubbed one across her face. She was purple! Her skin was bright purple! Her hands shook as she wiped the rest of the makeup from her face and neck. Tears streaked down the girls face as she went through the long process while everyone stared in shock. All that effort to hide herself was remarkable and desperate. Using makeup to be normal.
Harry went next. She let go of Rai and placed a comforting hand on the cheerleader's shoulder, who was now sobbing quietly into a wipe, before going to her normal blue form. Her yellow eyes glowered at the men in the three men in black at the front of the classroom threateningly.
Rai was shooting nervous glances at Kurt who was showing no attempt to show his real self.
A boy at the back took off a massive hoodie to reveal he had six arms.
Rai popped out her brown contact lenses and put them in their case.
The Goth's black nails turned into talons.
Still nothing from Kurt.
Rai got up and went to him "What are you doing?" she whispered with a worried tone.
"Nothing." he whispered back. The fake ice blue eyes flickered to meet her unimpressed glower "Look maybe zhey won't notice und I can stay zhis vway."
Her expression changed to sympathy "Kurt you know you have to. I'm not going to let you get arrested-" her tactic wasn't working and by the way he looked at her she could see he saw her as a threat. It hurt. "You promised me that we would do this together." her quiet voice sounded strangled.
Kurt looked away from her pleading gaze for a second to hide his own pained expression.
She felt betrayed but this was a big ask. To rip up your identity.
"You," one of the men pointed at Rai who paled and froze. "Come to the front and answer the questions."
She started to shake as she stumbled forward.
"Name?" he demanded.
"Rai Negomi." she gulped.
"Age?"
She paused in thought, confusion flickered in her expression but just as quickly disappeared,
"Age, come on, A-g-e!" he spelt it out to her like she was an idiot. Her face flushed in embarrassment and she could feel the eyes behind her watching.
"Sixteen! I-I'm sixteen!" she didn't mean to shout, it just came out that way.
"Birth country?" the man carried on unfazed.
"England."
"Birth date?"
Her lips thinned as she struggled to answer the simple question. She turned in fright to glance at Harry who shook her head.
"Look at the front when we're talking to you!" the man barked, startling Rai back to looking at him. "Birth date, are you deaf or something?"
"I-I don't know when I was born." her strangled voice came out less than a whisper. She wasn't thinking strait but that was the truth.
"It's the 4th of May sir." Harry managed to pull back the situation. Rai nodded vigorously and the man gave her a strange look before writing it down.
" Would you consider yourself a threat?"
Everyone stiffened and silence took hold of the room.
"Yes." her gaze turned steely "Anything else or can I leave the witch hunt?" her voice came out weaker than she had hoped for.
"Where were you on September the 30th?"
"Britain, Cumbria."
"Ability?"
Rai licked her dry lips "Nature."
He raised an eyebrow and laughed "You're expecting us to believe your Mother Nature? Another Pamela Isley."
"It's the truth I swear!" she blurted, how dare they compare her to a crazed, chemically made psycho! Poison Ivy made her existence feel twisted and sick. He stared her out and finally gave in, ticking a box he then went to the next question.
"Weakness?"
The girl growled before picking up her bag and storming out of the room, slamming the door so hard it shattered the glass. They were not going to find out how to kill her from her own mouth. This was sick!
