"She Deserves Better Than That"
Please enjoy and review!
Morning classes flew by quickly and soon it was time for lunch.
Gathering up her books, Davey stood up from her desk and started making her way out of the class, sending a smile over at Ororo on her way.
As she walked out of the door, Davey was soon joined by Willis who wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Guess what I heard?" He sang teasingly.
"Ugh, don't tell me you're gossiping now?" Davey rolled her eyes.
"It's not gossiping if I got the information from the source itself. Anyway, Bobby met the new girl Rogue and it looks like he may have a crush on her." Willis said.
That had Davey looking at her blond companion in confusion.
She had known Robert "Bobby" Drake for a few years now and after everything she had gathered about the 16 year old boy, she was shocked by what Willis had told her about him.
"I thought Bobby was gay. Since when is he interested in girls?" The weasel girl asked in disbelief.
Bobby may try to deny it, but she had seen the way he checked out Peter when they spent time at the pool outside during the summer.
Then again, who wouldn't stare at Peter when he was half naked and dripping wet when coming out of the pool?
Davey was quite certain a few girls passed out from the sight.
Also, everyone was sure that there was some sexual tension going on between Bobby and his roommate John Allerdyce.
"Maybe's he's bi." Willis suggested.
"Guess so." Davey sighed.
After going to their rooms to place their books inside, Willis escorted Davey with him down into the kitchen, finding Veemon, Terriermon and Lopmon already down there, filling their plates with food already.
Walking into the kitchen to gather their own food, the Golden Radiance duo found Peter, Bobby and John all sitting at a table with a pretty female brunette who had dark brown eyes and was completely covered up.
Noticing the duo walking into the kitchen, Peter smiled and waved them over.
"Hey, I grabbed you two a plate." Peter said as he gestured to the two plates of food.
One plate had two slices of pizza in it while the second plate had three slices.
It was obvious the second plate was meant for Davey since she had a high metabolism and could eat quite a bit of food.
"Thanks, Colossus." Willis grinned at the Russian.
Getting up out of his seat, Peter pulled out the chair beside him, waiting for Davey to sit down in it and she smiled up at him.
Watching the Russian boy and Japanese girl interacting with each other, the blond with brown eyes scoffed lightly and took a bite out of his pizza.
Turning her attention over to the new girl, Davey sent her a friendly smile, ignoring the way she was staring at her ears and tail.
"Hey, you must be Rogue. I'm Davey, code name Black Kat." She introduced herself.
John snickered at that and Rogue ducked her head down, blushing over the fact that she had been caught staring.
"And I'm Willis, also known as Mars." He winked at Rogue.
"Mars? Why are you called that?" Rogue asked, her Southern accent being heard in her voice.
"Because Vulcan was already taken." John smirked.
For those who understood the teasing, they all grinned in amusement while Rogue was confused.
"Willis' body naturally absorbs radiation and can release it in blasts." Bobby explained to Rogue.
The Southern girl nodded at that, but then her attention was pulled onto the three Digimon who were rushing over to their table, the rabbit twins jumping onto Willis' lap while Veemon pulled himself onto Davey's lap.
Rogue's eyes grew wide in shock at the sight of the creatures, wondering if they were mutants as well.
"So, I guess we have a new mutant today." Terriermon commented.
"What makes you ask that?" Bobby asked the green twin.
"Because we always have pizza on the days we get a new student." Lopmon explained.
"Yep, that's her right there." Veemon pointed at the girl.
Stunned by the three creatures turning their attention onto her, Rogue moved back in her seat, feeling nervous once again.
"Hi there, I'm Veemon and I'm Davey's Digimon partner." The dragon smiled in a friendly manner.
"I'm Terriermon." The green and beige rabbit said.
"And I'm Lopmon." The chocolate and pink colored rabbit smiled shyly.
"And we're Willis' Digimon partners." The twins chimed together.
"Um, what are Digimon?" Rogue asked in confusion.
The three blonds, brunette and berry haired girl all shared a look at that, unsure of how to explain the concept of Digimon to the girl.
"Um, I guess you could say, they're like...guardian angels for certain children." Peter fumbled over his words.
Raising an eyebrow at that, Rogue glanced over the two rabbits and the dragon, wondering how they would be considered guardian angels when they didn't even look like ones.
What she didn't know was that Lopmon was actually a Celestial Digimon and could Digivolve into a cherub like creature in his final form.
"Guardian angels?" John scoffed.
Peter shrugged at him, unsure of how else to exactly explain it.
In a way, the Digimon really were like guardian angels to the DigiDestineds and protected their human partners from danger.
"It's a long story." Bobby said to Rogue.
Nodding at that, Rogue decided to drop the subject and turned her attention back onto Davey, tilting her head to the side when she noticed something.
Peter had kept his arm resting on the back of the chair during the entire conversation and didn't seem to be moving any time soon.
A familiar face was seen entering the room and Rogue looked over to the doorway to find Logan was being escorted into the kitchen by Ororo.
Sniffing the air around him, Logan began searching for Rogue's scent and managed to find her sitting at a table with Davey and four boys.
When Rogue saw the Canadian man, she sent him a smile and he nodded at her before he followed Ororo over to where the food was laid out.
Feeling a bit more relaxed now that she saw the man was fine, Rogue turned her attention back onto the duo sitting across from her and watched as she saw them speaking to each other in Russian.
Leaning closer to Bobby to speak with him, Rogue gained the blond's attention while John spoke with Willis and the Digimon all giggled together as they told jokes.
"Hey, Bobby?" Rogue whispered to him.
"What is it?" He smiled at her kindly.
"Are Davey and Peter dating? Because I can't really tell." She whispered to him.
Fighting back the laughter he felt bubbling inside of him, Bobby turned his ice blue eyes onto Peter and Davey as they spoke to each other.
Peter was smiling at Davey as he listened to her speak, alternating into Japanese as she became a bit more animated in her speech.
The older mutant was amused by her and was giving her his full attention.
"To be honest, even I'm not sure. I mean, sometimes it looks like they are a couple, but other times they don't. I-I mean, I'm pretty sure they like each other. Peter makes it pretty obvious that he likes her, but Davey doesn't really notice it." Bobby explained to her.
Curious over this, Rogue looked back over at Peter and Davey, watching as they laughed together and the weasel girl's eyes lit up in joy while the large male staring down at her with adoration.
"They look good together." Rogue commented.
"Yeah, sadly, they're never gonna get together." John interrupted.
Stunned by the brown eyed blond joining the conversation, Rogue looked at John and found that she had the attention of him and Willis.
"What do ya mean?" She asked.
"There's this other girl we're friends with. Her name is Kitty and she has a crush on Peter, too." Terriermon whispered.
"And Davey always puts her friends and family above herself." Lopmon added.
"She's a selfless idiot. When she hears that someone likes the same person she does, she always backs off. If Kitty sees peter and Davey looking all cozy together, Davey will be able to sense that Kitty is upset over it and will confront her. Kitty will confess she likes Peter and will automatically back off, allowing the two to be together. Which pisses me off." John huffed.
The pyrokinetic, ice wielder, male DigiDestined and Southerner were all leaning around the table, gathered together in a small circle as they whispered to each other.
Thankfully, Davey and Peter were oblivious to them since they were locked in their own little world, busy with talking about the training session that they would be having in the Danger Room later on that day.
"That can't really be true." Rogue denied.
"Believe me, it is. These two girls back in her home of Odaiba, they did the exact same thing to her. Davey liked Ken, but backed off of him when this complete and utter bitch named Yolei took an interest in him. And then there's Kari, little Miss Princess of Light. She always mistreated Davey for years. Constantly took advantage of her friendship and showed no interest in this guy called TK, but when Davey started to have feelings for him, that's when she pounced. Seriously, I think the only person in that group who was a true friend to Davey was Cody and he was a freaking child." Willis ranted.
The boy's beautiful blue eyes bled red in his anger, displaying his anger at the way his best friend was treated.
Davey was the only person who willingly wanted to help him save Lopmon and she never gave up on trying to help him while the others did nothing at all.
They had even stood back and watched as Davey and Veemon were chased around by a Tortomon that could have mauled them to death if the dragon hadn't of Digivolved into ExVeemon to protect his partner.
Also, it had been Davey who had defeated MaloMyotismon since she had fought off the illusions he had placed in her mind.
As a mutant who could have been beaten and abused by her family when they found out what she was, Davey was completely unselfish and was content with her life, wanting nothing that MaloMyotismon's fantasy world could have given her.
Instead, all she wanted was to defeat him and had saved the others from their fantasy worlds, forcing them to continue fighting until the psychopathic monster was defeated once and for all.
Not only that, but she had been the one who didn't want to run away from Cherubimon and had inspired Willis to keep fighting to save his partner.
Koshiro "Izzy" Izumi had also told Willis on how it was Davey's determination to never give up that allowed her to find the Golden Digi-Egg of Miracles and had used it for the first time to defeat Kimeramon while everyone else wanted to run away scared, leaving the beast to create more havoc and destruction.
In Willis' opinion, Davey was a true hero and deserved a lot more respect than people gave her and she was granted that respect when she came to the school and was made an X-Men by the Professor who saw the amazing potential the young Omega level mutant had.
She no longer had people calling her harsh names behind her back or had people referring to her as an idiot simply because she didn't view things the exact same way they did.
The young hero was finally being treated properly and felt the love and respect that she should have been given by her damned friends and family who only verbally abused her.
"Willis, are you okay?" Davey asked.
She had sensed the area around her heating up and assumed that it was John showing off his power over fire, but she hadn't smelt smoke.
What she had smelt was the toxic scent from the radiation that came from Willis' power and knew that something was happening to upset her friend.
Snapping out of his rage, Willis turned his attention onto Davey and the second he looked into those chocolate brown orbs of hers, he felt himself calming down.
Smile forming on his face, Willis sent it Davey's way, hoping to show her that he was fine and that she didn't need to worry so much over him.
"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about it." He assured her.
Giving the American boy a look of disbelief, Davey decided to let the subject drop and turned her attention onto Rogue, smiling kindly at the girl.
When those eyes were off of him, Willis allowed himself to relax and John patted his shoulder, knowing how difficult it was to lie when those eyes were focused on you.
The truth was, John greatly respected Davey since she was the only person at the school who wasn't hard on him for acting out with his powers, knowing how frustrating it was for him to learn proper control over them.
Especially since his lack of control over his powers was the reason why his parents had thrown the Australian-American boy out of his home and out on the streets.
"Anyway, Rogue, at the end of the day, we're going to be having a session in the Danger Room." Davey brought up.
"Danger Room?" Rogue asked in alarm.
"It used to be a WW2 bunker, but was converted into a training area. It's where the students go to practice their powers and also how to fight to defend themselves." Veemon explained.
"It's not as bad as you're probably thinking. Anyway, if it makes you feel any better, you can be my partner for training today." Davey offered,
That caused all of the males at the table to groan in disappointment.
"Guess we're not winning any of the sessions today." John commented.
"Um, I-I wouldn't know what to do." Rogue stuttered.
"And that's why I'm offering to partner up with you. I can help you out during the training. It's no issue, really. It might even be fun. What do you say?" Davey asked.
Staring at the younger girl, Rogue couldn't find it in herself to deny Davey.
She was mesmerized by the innocence in her expression and the kind, warm aura that surrounded the weasel girl as she smiled at her with such a gentle expression.
"Sure." Rogue agreed with a small smile of her own.
