We had all by now figured out that Gwen and I were mutants, but hearing the
words aloud still came as a bit of a shock.
"Look pal," I snarled, "I don't know why you're here, but I strongly
suggest that you leave us alone, or."
Please. Rina, I only want to help you.
"Oh yeah? Then why don't you find someone who needs to be helped, or
better yet, someone who wants to be helped and help them?" I was starting
to get really annoyed with him.
Rina, you don't understand! You and your friend are in more danger than
you realize. If you'll just.
"Well maybe we won't just. C'mon guys!" I was so mad that I walked
straight through the image of Professor Xavier. Gwen and Randy decided to
go around it, though. I shoved my way through Jean, Kurt, and Kitty
roughly enough to keep them from stopping us, but not enough to hurt them.
As we were walking away, Kurt suddenly appeared in front of us. "Vait a
minute! You guys, ze professor only vants to help. You don't understand.
Zere is somezing you don't.ow!" I shoved him off the path into a thorn
bush and broke into a run. Randy and Gwen were right behind.
Then Gwen thought to me as we were running. Rina, they were trying to warn
us about something.
No kidding.
What do you think it was?
I don't know, and frankly, I don't care. I just want to get home and
forget that we ever saw them.
But what if.
Shut up, Gwen!
"Ow!" I yelped as I fell to the ground. I had run straight into a woman,
and I realized I was glowing again.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" said the woman, "Are you alright?"
"Fine," I said as I sat up.
"My name's Ms Darkholme." She reached down and took my hand and helped me
to my feet.
"Yeah.nice to meet you. Gotta go. Later!" And with that, I took off
running again without looking back. Randy and Gwen too.
Ms Darkholme changed. She turned blue and her hair turned orange, and a
dark, caped figure appeared behind her.
"Well?" asked the figure.
"I've found them," said Ms Darkholme without looking back at him. She
smirked as she watched us disappear into the distance.
