Rac jerked awake.
^ It was only a dream. ^ she thought gratefully. She sighed. No way
was she going to allow Henry, Bobby, Jamie and all the other New Recruits
bully her into drinking some of Logan's whisky again. Not only had it
tasted vile, but also it had given her a headache, a hangover. AND
NIGHTMARES!!
She looked at her clock; in the room she shared with Henry. It was about 4, in the morning. She groaned: "Now, we swiped the whisky at 10, to celebrate Jamie's birthday. Got drunk by 11:30. And was in bed by 12. Admittedly Jean had to carry Bobby and Henry. Jamie kept on duplicating, so he must have had about 12 bottles. Bobby had a bottle, so did Henry. Jubes and Ray shared a bottle. As did Rahne and Roberto. Sam finished off my bottle, of which I had 2 shots. Jeez! I must have a low tolerance level." She said, rubbing her head. She moved her hand, so it looked like she was holding a Dictaphone "Memo to self: Never, ever, get drunk again."
There was a glass of water by her bed, so she drained it. She got up to refill it. As she was walking to the bathroom, she passed a window and looked out of it. She saw someone come into the grounds. Over the gates. The figure was wingless, but was defiantly flying. Even in her slightly dazed state, Rac could tell it wasn't an X-man. And it was too long after drinking, for her to be seeing pink elephants.
She staggered back to her room, trying to control her feet, as things kept slipping in and out of view. When she got to her room, she shook Henry awake. "What is it?" "Someone's entered the grounds." "What?" Henry jumped up, and ran for the professor, seemingly unaffected by her bottle.
Rac staggered to the bathroom, and stuck her head under the cold tap. Then she stood up, turned off the tap, and ran back to her room. The cold water, although it meant that her hair was now a complete mess, instead of its usual half mess, had woken her up.
She pulled on her gear, and was soon standing with the others at the front of the mansion.
"What do you want, bub?" Logan asked, his claws sliding out. The figure took a step back.
The New Recruits were behind the X-men and couldn't see much, only the figure's feet. Bobby solved the problem, by creating an ice staircase. They all clambered to the top. Then they could see the intruder. She was about 1m 55. She had curly, long, dark brown hair, and light brown eyes. "I want to join the X-men!" "How'd you know about us?" "I'm a mutant, too." "You are?" "Helen." "What can you do?" "Become invisible and fly." "How'd you fly?" "With winged heels." Helen took off. "Your codename is?" "Deceive."
She looked up, and caught Rac's eyes. Helen looked so familiar, and so innocent. But buried inside her were hatred, vengeance, victory, spite and fear. Every nerve and brain cell yelled at Rac to tell someone. But she didn't. Helen's face was too kind, to harbour such thoughts. She thought that it was the alcohol affecting her.
"Jean, show Helen to a room." The professor said.
The New Recruits got off their ice stairs. Then Amara melted it. And they all staggered to bed. Before Rac got back to sleep she drank more water. To try and rid herself of her headache.
The next day Helen was checked into Cerebro, got a medical check over by Hank, got gear from Ororo and a training session from the professor and Logan.
Rac meanwhile was thinking over what had happened.
During Helen's training session, the professor called Rac, "Yes?" "I don't know how to put this, but it appears that you and Helen are twins." "What!" "Identical twins. Of course I shall inform her. Would you like to be in the same room as her?" "N.no. Thank you professor, but we barely know each other. Do you need anything else?" "No. Thank you. You may go."
Inside the deepest part of her head, a mental battle was going on. ^ Tell him. You know she's evil. ^ ^ But maybe I imagined it. She's my twin after all. And I'm not evil. ^ ^ But she's different. She grew up on the streets. She's EVIL! ^ *** Read and Review I'd like to thank Ruinwen, as she is so supportive. Oh, and if anyone sees my sister, could you do me a favour? Kill her for me. She's getting on my nerves. But what's new?
