Chapter 34

Rosie sat alone in her school canteen playing with the very questionable shepherd's pie. Beside her was a book in Spanish, out of all the languages she spoke fluently Spanish was not her best. She took a bite of her shepherd's pie, forced herself to swallow and went back to her book.

"Hello Little Koi Fish!" someone cried with a thick Japanese accent as they slammed their tray down, "Can I sit here?"

"Sure," Rosie looked up from her book for a second to see Yuki standing in front of her a smile plastered on her face. Rosie wasn't too sure how she managed to get the name Little Koi Fish, she wasn't small, she didn't look like a fish and she certainly doesn't like them. Maybe it was because she was ginger and they were kind of golden she just wasn't too sure. One thing she was sure of though was Yuki wasn't exactly in the best kind of metal state. There was no part of that girl that was remotely sane.

"My young one cow's are amazing creatures that live among us and we should honour and worship them… but they smell a lot too!" she ranted out of nowhere. Rosie looked at her with wide eyes, she was in sane and somehow she was stuck with her! Ever since the first day Yuki came she had clung to Rosie, everywhere she went there she was. Rosie eyed Yuki's plate and got even more confused.

"Em Yuki, you're eating cow…" she pointed to the beef stroganoff with her fork. Yuki stopped with her fork halfway to her mouth.

"But they're yummy," she whined. Rosie shook her head as she said, bat shit crazy.

"Whatever," she forced herself to swallow another mouthful of shepherd's pie. Rosie looked up at Yuki again only to see the school bully Lucy in front of her. In shock Rosie dropped her fork. How had she not realised that Yuki had got up and left and Lucy had taken her place?! With a squeak Lucy changed in front of her eyes to Yuki. Rosie's mouth dropped.

"Oh. My. God." She whispered. Yuki grabbed her bag, fell out of the seat and ran towards the door out of the canteen. It only took a second for Rosie to react; she shoved her book in her bag, threw her bag onto her back and vaulted over the table. People cried in anger as she pushed them into the wall but she didn't look back. Yuki was already halfway down the corridor and boy could she run fast but Rosie could run for hours on end and was pretty fast as well. Slowly the gap between her and Yuki began to close. When she was right behind her she rugby tackled her to the ground, turned her on her back, put her legs on either side of Yuki's hips, and held her hands above her head so she couldn't move.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" she screamed before lowering her voice, "You're a mutant?!" Yuki stared up at her wide eyed.

"I don't know what you're on about!" Yuki squealed whilst changing through all of the Avengers and then onto their class. Thankfully the corridor was empty.

"Yuki you're changing in front of me." she sighed.

"Oh…" she squeaked. Rosie stood up and held her hand out for Yuki.

"Right you're coming with me," she told her.

"NO! NO! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! YOU'LL EXPERIMENT ON ME NO! NO NOT AGAIN NOOOOOO!" Yuki squealed. Rosie looked down at her.

"What? You were experimented on?" Rosie asked softly. Yuki nodded her head. Rosie growled- well that explained why she wasn't sane at all.

"Who experimented on you?" she knelt down.

"I don't know! I just remember a thing called Weapon X!" she cried. Rosie clenched her fists.

"Weapon X, Wolverine. Those bastards. Don't worry Yuki I won't take you to them you just really need to come with me," she told the girl who was currently shaking like hell.

"No! I don't want to go anywhere!" Yuki whined. Rosie rubbed her temple this was all too much, Natasha leaving, Yuki being a mutant and that she had been experimented on by the same person who experimented on Wolverine.

"Ok but do you have a phone? Ok give me your number and I'll give you mine. If anyone comes after you call me and I'll come get you as soon as I can," Rosie took out her phone. Yuki happily agreed and gave Rosie her phone number. Rosie slowly stood up again. Why had she just given herself more responsibility? She was already too busy with school, the Avengers, her team and S.H.I.E.L.D. work and now she had to protect a mutant? But what else could she do, Yuki was clearly terrified and not sane that is just a recipe for disaster.
