"What's a Magneto?"
Please enjoy and review!
The next day Davey woke up before everyone else and started wandering around the school, making her way down to the kitchen to get breakfast before classes started.
Entering the kitchen, the girl found that it was currently empty and made her way over to the cupboards to where the food was located.
Climbing up onto the counter, Davey opened the cupboard doors and started searching at the very back where she kept her snacks hidden away from the younger students.
Pushing everything aside, she found the secret hole in the wall that Charles' adopted sister used to use to hide her treats and Davey pulled out her packet of chocolate and strawberry pocky sticks.
She had various other flavors such as cookies and cream, chocolate and banana, strawberry cream, rainbow, sweet milk and crushed almonds.
As she pushed the rest of the food in front of her hiding place, Davey turned around just in time to find a tall, muscular 17 year old boy with dark brown hair and hazel colored eyes entering the kitchen, looking half asleep from just waking up.
When he found the girl standing on the counter, he grinned in amusement and walked over to help her down carefully.
"Why am I always catching you climbing things?" The teenager, Peter Rasputin, asked in amusement.
Smiling at the handsome Russian teen, Davey allowed him to place his large hands around her waist and help her down onto the ground.
"Must be a natural instinct of mine." She shrugged with an innocent grin.
Peter chuckled at that and made his way over to the coffee maker to brew himself a fresh cup to help wake himself up.
"No kidding. Anyway, do you know anything about the new people that Mr. Summers and Ms. Munroe brought in?" Peter asked.
"Not really. But one of them is a girl our age that is starting classes today. Her name is Marie D'Ancanto, but she likes being called Rogue." Davey explained.
Ripping open her packet, she took out a pocky stick and took a bite, grinning at the sweet taste.
"So, she's like Pyro, then." Peter commented as he poured the freshly brewed coffee into his mug.
"Guess so. Let's just hope she's not as...sassy as he is." Davey said.
Smirking at that in amusement, Peter walked over to Davey and bent his head down, biting off a piece of the pocky stick before the Japanese girl could finish it.
That caused the girl to give him an annoyed look, her long black tail swishing around in irritation.
Seeing the look the girl was giving him, Peter simply grinned down at her and leaned down to kiss her cheek, causing her to blush from the sudden act.
"I'm gonna get ready for class. I'll see you at lunch." Peter said as he backed out of the room.
Not responding to that, Davey finished off her packet of pocky and then downed a glass of milk before retreating back to her room to take a shower before classes started.
Entering her room, Davey found Veemon curled up on the bed, sleeping away peacefully and she passed by him, going into her private bathroom.
Taking a quick shower, washing her hair and fur, Davey then stepped out of the bathroom and gathered up her clothing for the day.
Pulling on clean underwear, the girl then dressed in a white camisole and jeans that had a hole in it for her tail which she carefully slid through.
When she was dressed, the girl then walked over to her dresser where her small wooden jewelry box was located and she pulled out a gold ring with a peridot stone on it that she slid onto her right index finger, slipped a gold charm bracelet onto her left wrist and hooked a gold choker with a rose quartz stone around her neck.
Sitting on her bed, Davey started running a brush through her hair as Veemon slowly started to awaken, yawning widely and rubbing at his eyes.
"Is it time for breakfast yet?" He murmured.
Giving her partner an amused grin, Davey continued brushing out her hair and then tied the back of it up into a ponytail while her bangs fell on her forehead and the longer parts framed her face.
"Yeah, but you better hurry up before the kitchen gets packed with the students." Davey told him.
Standing up, Davey began to make her way over to her bag to pack it with her books, but stopped when she felt Charles enter her mind.
"Davia, it seems our guest has woken up. Will you please greet him and bring him up to me?" He requested.
"Sure, I'll get right on that." Davey said.
"Oh, and Davia? Could you bring him a shirt? We can't have him wandering the halls dressed the way he is. He might frighten the children." Charles said sounding amused.
"I'm on it." The girl nodded.
Heading over to her closet, Davey searched through it and found one of the X-Men sweaters she kept when the weather became cool.
It was quite large and looked like a dress on her since it went down her thighs, but it was warm and comfortable to wear.
"Where ya going?" Veemon asked as he watched her.
"Charles wants me to bring the new guy to him. You better stay here, though. Don't want to freak the guy out." Davey grinned down at him.
"All right, but you owe me food. I want chocolate chip pancakes." Veemon requested.
"I'll see what I can do. See you later, V." Davey sent him a wink before leaving the room.
When she stepped out into the shadowed hallway, her body became engulfed in darkness and she felt herself being pulled off in the direction of the new comer who was roaming the lower level of the mansion, leaving the medical lab he was held in.
As the darkness faded away from around her, Davey found herself standing ten feet away from an adult man who had dark brown hair and hazel eyes who was over six feet tall and was quite muscular.
The man's hair was styled in a strange way and he had muttonchops which were surprising since she had never seen someone out of a cartoon or anime who wore them, she thought they had gone out of style a while ago.
"Y'Know, you probably shouldn't go roaming around this place half naked." She spoke up.
Tensing, the man whirled around and held up his right fist, three long metal claws sliding out of his knuckles with a 'snikt' noise.
When he took in the appearance of the 15 year old girl, the man gained a look of confusion as his eyes glanced over the tail and black furry ears she had.
"There are kids that live here and a big, half naked hairy guy would probably scare them." Davey teased.
Taking a few steps closer to the man, she held out the sweater and he looked over the clothing cautiously before he reached out and accepted it, pulling it over his top half and zipped it up.
"Who're you? Where am I?" He asked in a gruff voice.
"I'm Davey Motomiya. And you're in a school for mutants." She explained.
"School?" He repeated in disbelief.
When he found himself waking up in a lab with a woman in a white coat standing over him, he didn't expect to learn that the building he was being held in was a school.
"Two of the teachers that work here found you and Rogue being attacked and brought you here to get looked after." Davey informed.
Hearing the girl's name, the man snapped to attention and narrowed his eyes at the teenager who was staring at him with serious eyes.
"Rogue? Where is she now?" He demanded.
"Probably still sleeping. Or maybe she's in the kitchen having breakfast with the rest of the students. Classes are about to start in a few minutes. Oh, speaking of, the head master of the school wants to see you." Davey said.
"The head master?" The man repeated with a raised eyebrow.
"Any other questions you have, you can ask him. I'm sure he'll have whatever answers you need. Come on." Davey called over her shoulder as she turned and started walking off in the direction of the elevator.
Realizing that he didn't have much of a choice and that he would be able to get the answers he was seeking, the man followed after the teen, walking into an elevator with her and watched as she pushed the buttons on the wall.
Taking in her appearance, he noted that she looked quite a bit like a human and cat hybrid, but when he sniffed at the air around her, he could pick up the scent of a different animal under the strawberry body wash and honey shampoo she used.
He was trying to figure out what kind of breed of animal she was, especially since her ears and tail made it difficult to tell.
"I'm 15 and you're so not my type, bub." Davey broke him out of his thoughts.
Stunned with what he heard the girl call him, he snapped his eyes onto her face and noticed the teasing smirk that was curling her lips upwards.
"I'm not checking you out, kid. I'm just...trying to figure out what you are." He stated.
With the smirk firmly planted on her lips, Davey turned to the man just as the elevator doors opened.
"You can't tell? I'm a weasel." She said
She then walked out of the elevator and the man followed after her, being careful not to bump into any of the students who were roaming around the hall.
Various students nodded or called out their greetings to Davey as she passed by them, giving her fellow classmates a smile and wave.
"You're popular." The man commented.
Most of the students were giving him confused looks, not recognizing him.
"I've been here for almost four years now, but I've had my powers ever since I was 6." Davey explained.
"Six? That's pretty young." He noted.
"It happens." Davey shrugged.
Honestly, Davey had been amazed she was able to keep her powers a secret from her family for so long.
They first manifested when she was 6 years old and she was being bullied by some other students.
Upset, she had ran away and hid behind a tree, wanting to hide from them, but she heard them chasing after her and prayed to disappear.
Before she knew it, the shadows around her rose from the ground and embraced her in its warmth, keeping her hidden from the bullies who ran by, unable to see her.
After that, she had kept practicing her power over the darkness and shadows, and discovered the ability to see as clear as day during the night, but kept it a secret from her family since her parents had always been so verbal about their hatred of mutants.
Years later, she met Willis who was a mutant with power to gather radiation and shoot it out of his hands, and he had told her all about Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and on how he was planning on going to them for help on how to control his powers, after Lopmon had been saved from the virus that turned him evil.
Davey had helped cure Lopmon and after that, Willis had kissed her cheek in thanks before leaving to make his way to the school and had slipped the card with the phone number into her pocket in case she ever wanted to visit.
Months after that event, Davey's powers grew stronger and she grew out a pair of black ears and a tail, frightening her to no end since the experience was painful and Veemon didn't know what to do to help her.
Since her parents weren't home at the time, Davey packed up her clothing and all of the money she had before grabbing Veemon and called Willis, informing him she needed residence at the school.
Feeling excited that another DigiDestined would be joining him at the school, Willis had told Charles about Davey and the old man decided to go pick her up at the air port along with the child of Destiny.
Charles had become fond of Davey the second he laid eyes on the girl and when he got to know her better, he noted that her personality was very similar to his adopted sister whom he hadn't seen in years.
Arriving in front of a door, Davey snapped out of her memories and knocked on it which made the man behind her stare at it curiously, wondering what lay behind it.
"Come in." Charles called.
Opening the door, Davey then walked inside and sent the Canadian mutant an encouraging smile over her shoulder and gestured for him to follow her.
When the man had first heard about the head master, he hadn't expected an old man sitting in a wheelchair.
Looking up from the paperwork on his desk, Charles smiled at Davey and the man who was with her.
"Good morning, Logan. I'm Charles Xavier. Would you like some breakfast?" He greeted.
"Where am I?" The man, Logan, demanded.
"West Chester, new York. You were attacked. My people brought you here for medical attention. But I believe Davia has already told you all this." Charles said.
"I don't need medical attention." Logan stated rudely.
"Yes, of course." Charles nodded.
He then wheeled his chair out from behind the desk and Davey walked over to him, leaning down to give the man a hug and he grinned as he returned the hug.
"Morning, Charles." She told the man.
"Good morning, Davia. Thank you for bringing Logan in." He said.
Pulling away, the two mutants then turned their attention back onto Logan who was standing by the door awkwardly.
Then, two other adults walked into the room.
The first was a woman who had long snow white hair, dark brown eyes and dark skin that showed she was of African descent.
Next was a man with neatly styled brown hair and was wearing a pair of sunglasses that had red lens, though Charles knew that he had eyes the same shade of blue as his older brother who had died many years ago.
"Ah, Logan, I'd like you to meet Ororo Monroe, also called Storm. This is Scott Summers, also called Cyclops." Charles introduced the two mutants.
"Hello." Ororo smiled at Logan in greeting.
Scott held his hand out to shake Logan's, but he simply stared at it in silence until the man lowered it, seeing that the new comer wasn't very friendly.
"They saved your life." Charles informed.
Next, Jean stepped into the room making Scott smile at his fiancé and Logan turned his attention onto her, recognizing her as the woman who was in the lab with him.
"I believe you already met Dr. Jean Grey." Charles said.
Walking by Logan, the redhead made her way over to Charles and stood on his other side, but wrapped an arm around Davey's shoulders making the weasel girl smile up at her.
"As Davia explained to you before, you're in my school for the gifted. For mutants. You'll be safe here from Magneto." Charles told Logan.
"What's a Magneto?" Logan questioned.
"A very powerful mutant who believes a war is brewing between mutants and the rest of humanity. I've been following his activities for some time. The man who attacked you is an associate called Sabertooth." Charles explained.
Scoffing at the name, Logan began to glance around at the group of mutants in the room with him.
"Saberooth? Storm? And what do they call you? Wheels? And who are you, Weasel Girl?" Logan joked.
"Actually, it's Black Kat. Also, I find it funny that you're mocking us for our names, Wolverine." Davey gave him a look.
Giving the girl a questioning look, Logan then realized that she had seen his dog tags which had the names "Logan" and "Wolverine" on them.
That explained how they knew what his name was.
"I thought you said you weren't a cat." Logan said instead.
"I'm not." Davey said.
Unsure of how to react to what the girl said and becoming annoyed with the sass she had, Logan rolled his eyes.
"This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard." Logan scoffed.
"So's your hair." Davey retorted making Logan growl in annoyance, but he chose to ignore her.
Turning and intending to leave, Logan found Scott standing in his way, blocking the door.
"Cyclops, right? You wanna get out of my way?" Logan asked as he grabbed Scott by the collar of his shirt.
Scott glanced over at Charles, mentally asking him what their next action would be.
Davey stared at the man in worry.
Scott was Willis' mentor and she didn't want anything to happen to the man, even if there were moments were they didn't get along.
"Logan, it's been almost 15 years, hasn't it? Living from day to day, moving from place to place." Charles spoke up.
His words seemed to have an effect on Logan as his angered expression at Scott faded away and he released his hold on the man, wondering how Charles knew all this.
"With no memory of who or what you are." Charles continued.
"Shut up." Logan turned to him.
"Give me a chance. I may be able to help you find some answers." Charles told him.
"How do you know?" Logan asked.
"You're not the only one with gifts." Charles projected into Logan's mind.
Logan's head then moved about, listening to all of the voices that Charles was projecting into his mind, displaying his power to him.
Looking at Charles and seeing the serious expression on his face, Logan began to believe what was being said to him.
"What is this place?" Logan asked.
"Welcome to Mutant High." Davey grinned.
