DISCLAIMER: You know what it is.
We all were headed towards the mountains three weeks later. Magneto had decided that I needed to try out my powers, to a larger scale. He was planning on me practicing at an abandoned construction site. Todd, Lance, Pietro, Fred, Mystique and I were riding up to the mountainous region, and hopefully would not be disturbed. When we reached the site I saw that we would not get to it right now, so I went off into the woods surrounding it to check out the sites. I wasn't gone for two minutes when I heard many voices, more than had come up here with us, coming from the construction site. I changed into my human skin, and walked slowly towards the site. I stayed out of view, hiding behind bushes and such. I peered through the foliage, trying to see what was going on. I saw, what I assumed were the X-men, getting ready to push us off of the site. My blood started to boil then. I climbed a tree, trying to hear what was being said. "You can't do this. It's wrong! You could hurt hundreds of people!" a red head in spandex was whining. I assumed she was Jean. Lance had told me about her before. Hurt hundreds of people? What is she talking about? I'm only going to trash this abandoned site, not try to kill anyone! "Yes! And we won't let you endanger so many innocent lives for nothing!" a white haired black lady yelled. And you must Storm…
I heard Mystique say something, but it was lost to me. She was on the other side of the construction site from. I grinned, and hung down from a limb with my feet and hands wrapped around it. Mystique glanced at me, and I waved. She smiled and turned back to face Storm. "It won't be so easy for you to stop us this time," she said slyly, "Because we have a new member with us. We came up all this way to show you her powers. Isn't that right Carmen?" she said sweetly. While she had been talking, I had climbed out of the tree and was walking towards the X-men's backs. I ginned and tapped Cyclops I think, on the shoulder. He turned around, and opened his mouth wide in surprise. The others saw his movement, and repeated it. All except for Storm, who was better at masking her emotions than the others. "Who are you?" The Goth girl, Rogue, asked. "You weren't paying attention, Rogue? Well, I suppose you wouldn't. After all, you need to keep up your rebelistic image." I answered coolly. Her eyes narrowed at me, but looked away. No one but Todd was ever really capable of looking me in the eyes for very long. Gold eagle eyes aren't the most endearing color. I asked politely, "Could you please move so I can get by?" The others were so shocked by me, they actually moved. I smiled and passed through them, over towards Mystique and the others. "When I give the signal, attack them." Mystique whispered to us. "Ready…go!" she yelled. I charged at who I assumed was Kitty, since the others had told me she was one of the weaker fighters. She phased right through me, but I was expecting that, and turned around and kicked her in the back. She went face first on the ground. I heard a gasp from one of the nearby X-men. I had let my concentration slip, and I was once again in my gator skin. I turned to see who it was, and grinned at them. Jean was the one who had seen me first, and was horrified by my teeth. I don't really blame her. My teeth are pretty scary looking. I heard someone coming up behind me and did a back flip to avoid him from restraining me. I turned around and made the little rocks around Scott's feet explode. I laughed as he tried to avoid from stepping on them. I turned to see who my next victim would be. I cried out as my feet left the ground involuntarily. Jean was using her powers, and had lifted me off of the ground about three feet. I yelled at her "Put me down!" She just kept staring at me, keeping me off of the ground. I looked behind her, and saw Todd jump on her back. She through me back, and I hit Scott knocking him down. "Look out!" I heard Lance yell. I looked up and saw a giant boulder heading straight towards me. I felt someone's arms wrap around my waist and pull me out of the way of the boulder. I screamed when it hit the ground near my feet. I looked up to see who had saved me, and was surprised to see it was Scott. I looked him straight in the eyes. A million questions were running through my mind, the most frequent one was why did he do it? Why did he save me. He moved away from me, and Jean ran up to him almost frantically asking him if he was all right. Todd was behind me, trying to help me off of the ground. "Are YOU all right?" he said worriedly. I smiled and nodded my head. "Nearly being crushed to death really takes it out of you, though." We turned to leave, but just before we left, I called out "Hey Scott!" he turned to face me. "Thanks…for saving my life." He nodded, and I turned to head back to the car. What a day. I hope things like this don't happen too often. I owe Summers my life.
Please R&R! I don't know if I should continue this. Also, any suggestions are very welcome
