Through a Mutant's Eyes:Part 5

Disclamer:Marvel owns the X-Men.I own Gina


After pouring her soul out to Jean,Ginand Kitty started to get ready for bed.Kitty went to find a stool for Gina to prop her foot up on untill her ankle heal.Gina asks Kitty,"May I ask what your power is?"."Sure,I walk through walls,I call it phasing.What are yours" Kitty tells her."I charge things and when I throw what I charge it blows up" Gina tells Kitty."Jean was right,you and Gambit have the same power" Kitty tells Gina with a smile."As Gina limps towards her bed she asks Kitty,"Who is this Gambit?"."Gambit has the same powers as you and you do have the same accent",Kitty tells Gina as she moves toward her bed and adds,"If you need to talk,just call me ok"."Fair enough" Gina tells Kitty as the two fall asleep.


Several hours later Gina awakes after a intense nightmare.Kitty hears her and moves over to Gina's bed and asks her,"You ok? I heard you almost scream". "I had a flashback to being attacked by that mob" Gina dmits to Kitty.Kitty reaches for Gin's hand and tells her,"Just talk,I'll listen".Gina starts to tell Kitty what happened only a few hours before,"I had just left the pool hall to use the pay phone nearby when these guys grabbed me from behind.I was dragged into the alley and I must have blacked out because when I came to I was in a restroom and my dress was torn.When I tried to walk,my ankle bucked under me and I somehow limped to Monet's and a pay phone and I called and I came here.".As Gina told Kitty what had happened tiny tears started to trickle down her cheek."I feel like I deserved to be beaten up" Gina admits and Kitty tells her,"It was not your fault this happened.Whoever did this to you does not understand what it's like to be in our shoes.Gina,I've only known you a few hours but I like you and you will see that it was not your fault"."Why do i feel like it was my fault?" Gina asks Kitty."Whoever did this wanted to bash in what was left of your self esteem and to hurt you for what you are".After another two hours of pouring her heart out to Kitty,Gina finally went back to sleep after Kitty told her,"If you have another nightmare,just call and I'll be here"."Thank you,Kitty" Gina tells her as she falls asleep again.


The next morning,as Kitty and Gina get ready for classes Gina almost crashs on her foot as she dresses.Kitty comes in with two cups of tea and hands one cup to Gina,"Hope this is ok" she tells her.""Not bad" Gina flashes a small smile to Kitty.Earlier that moring,Kitty had talked to two others at the mansion and had gotten some help in tems of lifting Gina's spirts and raising her confidence.As Gina and Kitty go to breakfast,Kitty springs her plan into action.Gina limps into the room and heads for a table while trying not to fall again.Gina had somehow found a dress that did not cover her injured ankle and a pair of shoes that worked with the brace and as she sat down she heard a voice that was like her own."Bonjour chere" she heard his whisper towards her at that moment."Actually nice to be seen as a woman,not just to be seen as a mutant" Gina through to herself as the stranger sat next to her."Kitty said that a lady with your accent has come to the mansion.My name is Remy LeBeau,codename:Gambit" he tells Gina."Gina LeCroix,no codename yet" she admits to Remy while a part of her notes that this guy is rather attracitve.Over the next 20 minutes,Gina and Remy talk and make plans to contiune the dicussion late that day.Kitty comes over and offers to help gina find her first class.
