THE NEW FACE OF EVOLUTION PART 2


"Is that her down there, 'Ro?" Logan asked the woman in the passenger seat of the van.
She shot him a look that said 'how should I know?' He shrugged. Pulling the van up beside the
girl who's back was facing them, he rolled down the window and leaned out.
"Hey, kid. Your name Ice?" The girl turned around at the sound of Logan's voice, and the
moment their eyes met, Logan's heart stopped.
The girl was so beautiful, so perfect, that Logan was lost the instant he looked into
her deep, dark navy colored eyes.
"Yeah. You two my ride to The Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters?" Her voice was
cautious, with an underlaying tone of sadness. Storm shot her friend another 'look', and nodded to the auburn haired girl.
"Yes, we are. But you already knew that, didn't you?" Ice looked startled. She liked to
keep the information she gleaned from peoples' minds to herself. It just led to less problems.
Storm, however, was famillar with the soft tingly feeling that gave away a mental probe, and
knew better than to keep anything from this child that might make her suspicious and scare her off. And Logan was being about as useful as a brick.
"Climb in. The door is on the drivers' side. Make sure not to slam it too hard, you might rip it off." Storm said turning towards the front. Ice managed a weak smile before getting in.
"Get a grip on your self, Logan. You can stare later." Storm hissed at the dazed driver.
A tenitive voice spoke up from the back of the van.
"Um, do you guys mind if I uh...crash?"Ice continued hurriedly as if afraid they would
refuse her.
"I haven't slept for almost two weeks, and sleeping under bridges in New York, even
upstate, doesn't thrill me." Logan finally snapped out of his trance.
"Probably a good idea." He growled, keeping his eyes on the road and trying to keep his
mind there as well.
***
Ice was finding it impossible to probe Logan's mind, and it was making her uneasy. She
had been suprised when Sto- Ororo, had opened up to her so willingly. It had been kinda nice.
She had learned that there were lots of other people at the institute, including a few people
close to her age. Jubilee was closest. maybe they would become friends.
That was Ice's last thought before she fell into a deep, exhausted sleep.
***
"They're here," Kurt announced, teleporting into the study, where the others were waiting.
"And she's hot." Notticing the look Kitty was shooting him, he quickly stopped that train if conversation. They heard Ororo's voice in the hall, and it had almost a...pursuading note to it, like the person with her was frightened to go into the room. Which, Charles thought, was probably true.
Do not be frightened, child. None in this room wish you any harm. He told her. He was
amazed when he recieved an answer.
I am not afraid of them, just what they will think of me. Charles was startled at the
clarity with which she sent the message. Even Jean was not that clear, even when she was
standing next to him.
She truly is powerful. Show her in, Storm.
***
"We can go in now," Ororo informed the two others standing in the hall with her. Logan
pushed the door open, and escorted Ice into the room. Everyone in the room froze the second
they saw her.
"Oh ma Gahd." Rogue breathed. It was exactly what everyone else had thought. For in
Ice's nervousness, she had let herself go, and her tail was showing. But that was not what had
everyone captivated.
It was the giant green batwings that were protruding from her back.

"No wonder she's so powerful," a dumbstruck Bobby said.
"She's Goddamned fucking demon. I'm pretty sure you neglected to tell us that, eh Prof?"
He was so strung up that he changed into his ice form without meaning to.
"Calm down, Bobby. It's not all that bad, riaht? I mean, she's onna us." Rogue was trying to be comforting, but it apparently wasn't working. Warren had been sitting in the corner with growing frustration. Finally, he snaped.
"Listen up. Just because she's got wings, claws, and a tail, it doesn't mean she's a
demon. I've got wings and blonde hair, but that doesn't make me an angel,does it?" Everyone in
the room had quited at the man's outburst, and were thinking over his words.
"I think we all need to go to bed and chew on this for a while," Logan suggested.
"An exelent idea, Wolverine. It's been a long day, especially for Ice, and you all need
to sleep. I'll see you in the morning. Good night." And with this, Charles rolled out of the
room. Jubilee stood up and streched, grinning.
"C'mon, Ice, you can room with me until they get yours ready." Jubilee dragged Ice out of the room by her elbow and into the hallway.
"Whew!" She exclaimed. "It's about as friendly in there as a mine field!"
"Tell me about it," Ice said sadly.
That's exactly why I didn't want to go in there.
