Disclaimer: I do not own X-men evolution. Also, this story is told from Becky's point of view.
It's amazing how many things can happen to you in a day, isn't it? You could meet your soulmate and live the rest of your life in a fairy-tell. You could become pregnant, which can be a good thing and a bad thing depending on the person and the situation. You could become a lottery winner; you could make the worst investment of your life. You could lose a pet, or a loved one. If you're like us, you could discover a hidden part of yourself, just waiting for the right moment to show your true colors. I know what most people think of mutants, they think of horrible monsters just waiting to unleash their fury on this 'innocent' world. But there is no innocence alive in average man's mind. Of course, I suppose that all depends on your definition of innocence. Mine is the loss of knowledge of things that could pull apart a family, and destroy mankind, as we know it. For average man, he is afraid to learn, afraid to accept change. That's the problem with most of us, we fear what we do not or can not understand. But one must accept some change; otherwise he never evolves, right? Wrong. Most of man can only accept change he can control. Have you noticed that we can accept things such as electricity, stereos, computers, but when it comes to something that could endanger our position on the food chain, something that could alter our power, most of us try to destroy it before it has a chance to fully develop? Man has hunted several animals to extinction, either to prevent the alteration of power, or to prove to the rest of humanity that he is superior. Man can only accept change he can control, or he can predict. So he fears us. Mutants.
I know this sounds harsh, and that I sound bitter, but I'm not. I'm just making observations. I've been making many observations over the years. Back when I was ten, no one really knew of mutants; they're weren't as big a concern as they are today. There was hardly any thought of the F.O.H. I didn't have to fear being my true self. I didn't have to hide behind a titanium wall. Back when I was younger, I didn't have horrible nightmares about losing control of myself and hurting an innocent person. I didn't have nightmares about being beaten by men I didn't know because I was different. I didn't have so much fear hidden in the depths of my mind, buried in the bottom of my heart. But the longer you live, the more you are exposed to. Fear and pain are just a few things. We are exposed to millions of different things in the short time we are on this earth. Joy, hope, happiness, bliss, so many emotions. What would motivate people to do the right things, to achieve things they only dreamed they could do? But here I am, rambling about emotions and new experiences when there's a story to tell.
So many things happened after we both discovered our powers. The F.O.H. gave a demonstration after school. They told the students to avoid us at all cost, because mutants are a danger to society. What a load of hot air! I'd never dream of hurting someone. Well, maybe not ever…but anyway, I'd never dream of doing it with my powers. Needless to say, Gabby and I never went to the demonstration. The next day, many of the jocks had F.O.H. patches sown on to their letter jackets. All they would talk about at lunch was how many mutants they would kill. I looked forward to lunch less and less each day. I finally talked to Gabby and told her about the conversations at the table, and we decided that we could just sit alone. We would destroy the pact we made to stay ourselves and never let anyone become suspicious, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I'd rather run the risk of acting abnormal than lose my sanity listening to them talk about hunting down and killing my fellow mutants.
So, to clear my head of ugly thoughts, I convinced Gabby to come with me on a shopping spree.
I know that compared to my other chapters, this one is really short. But I'll get more up soon! Oh yeah, please review!!!
