Gemma peeked hesitantly round the door of bobby's English class she was a little early for the danger room session so she snuck into the class and sat at a free desk, putting a finger to her lips in a conspiratorial gesture to the children that populated bobby's English class.
There were a few giggles
"Now class settle down the class will be over soon, there's nothing funny about alliteration, bobby said, his back to them as he wrote on the board.
"So alliteration is when you have several words in a sentenced or line of poetry that begin with the same sound, like catch as catch can or, slithering slimy snakes got it?"
There was a chorus of nods and smiles and "yes's" as he turned to them, he hadn't seen gemma yet.
The bell went and all the students started stuffing things in their bags, ready to rush for the door
"HOLD IT, hold it right their, the homework is write at least half a page on love in prose or a short poem, for the next lesson allright, now any questions?" he asked,
Gemma was the only one who was sitting down, "please sir," she said with a wink, raising her hand "I'm new and foreign, and I'm not good at writing stories in this language sir, any tips?"
"well, uhm Gemma I always start with my antagonist and work it out from their," boby said, walking over to her and holding out his hand, she took it and he drew her close to him, the kids laughed at them fooling around "but it's up to you to find your own style and technique" Gemma grinned, pushing away from him slightly, "thanks for the tip", bobby laughed, "class dismissed he said, the kids ran for the door, when they were all gone and there was just the two of them their Gemma asked if they were ready to go.
"yeah lets get you kitted out for the danger room already" bobby smiled
When they took the elevator down to one of the sub basements, hank was waiting for them, "your attire for training is waiting for you oh newest addition to our team" the big blue guy said to Gemma, she arched an eyebrow, didn't say anything but looked at bobby expectantly.
"he means hello new person, your costumes waiting for you"
"I know that but what costume"
"Generally spandex or leather, we all wear costumes"
"Guys in spandex? Gimme gimme" Gem laughed
"You have a sick mind"
"Talking of minds, did the professor mind read me last night to find out what I'd want"
"probably"
"I'm gonna have ta speak to him about that, I hate having people take things from my head without asking"
"I'm sure if you ask him nicely, he won't do it without asking,a lthough from what I saw last night, he couldn't do it anyway, at least not without cerebro."
"cerebro?"
"it enhances his powers, detects the use of mutant powers, that's what he uses to find us"
"I see, did he last night?"
"no we just saw the crowd, a lucky coincidence"
"yeah lucky, by the way I never thanked you… for saving my life"
"your welcome, it's nothing, I mean what were we supposed to do, ignore it and go home?"
"others might of done"
"we're not them gemma"
"I know that, thanks anyway, shall we go see that costume then?"
"yeah" bobby dropped it, he could tell she wanted it dropped.
The costume in question looked great on gemma, it wasn't yellow like some of the others costumes still were, there was no yellow on it anywhere, the costume it most resembled was bobby's new one, the one that was made up of the black leather with yellow spandex, the all in one and the trench coat, yah that costume.
Gemma's costume was a black cat suit, the legs were long, There was a v-neck that outlined the upper arms of the big red x that crossed her chest, changing into a belt when it reached the right height. There were no sleeves, the lines of the x followed the contour of the top half when it came to the neck and arms, Gemma also had a pair of gloves that looked like rogues, that way she couldn't cut herself on the crystals but she had enough room, to what? Gemma wondered why she'd been thinking about throwing knives, hummm she could experiment with that.
