Right after school, the guys all met up and then went to the school gym,
they were waiting for Charles and they were all suited up in sweats that
they had stored in there locker. They were all wearing black.
Charles walked in, wearing a suit and tie still; they all looked at him and
raised their eyebrows. "What?" He asked in confusion.
"Umm, Charles. Why are ya wearing your suit still?" Marie asked him,
"Didn't ya say that we would be doin' a workout?"
"Yes that is correct." Charles replied, not seeing the problem.
"Well, how are ya gonna fight meh?" Marie asked.
"Oh, you feel that my suit will hinder my fighting abilities, do not worry
my dear, all will be fine." Charles replied.
Charles was just taking his jacket and tie off when the gym doors opened
again and the cheerleaders walked in with the coach of their school, Coach
Wittenberg.
They stood stock still at the sight of Marie and her friends in the gym
with the new librarian Professor Xavier; he had a PHD in Math and Science.
Jean was ahead of the others and saw them first, her face showed pure
arrogance when she stood forward and said.
"Uhm, excuse me, but the cheerleaders or jocks have the gym after school,
so I'm afraid you will have to just leave, ok?" Jean ordered.
"Well, I did not realise young lady that you were the one in charge of the
gym, I thought that, as it was schools property, it belonged to every
participant of the school." Charles said formerly, but everyone could here
the ice in his voice.
"Um, whatever, we're using it tonight as we have to show Coach Wittenberg
our new moves." Jean arrogantly dismissed Charles and the group of students
with him.
"No, I am afraid, my dear you are not, you see I went to the headmaster
this afternoon, and I booked the gym for the whole evening until the school
is closed tonight at nine, sorry my dear but I shall have to ask you and
your friends to leave, now!" Charles said all of this with a sufficient
amount of anger.
Coach Wittenberg looked like he wanted to object but he saw the steely look
in Xavier's eyes then just turned and walked out of the gym motioning for
the girls to follow him, with one last murderous look and a huff of
annoyance and stormed out.
"Way to go dude!" Jubilee shouted.
"Excellent" Kitty added.
"Nice one" Marie said.
"Totally cool" Bobby said.
"Damn it!" Marie cursed, Charles may look like he had a major stick up his butt, but he was a superb fighter. This was the fifth time he had knocked her on her butt in ten minutes. He was teaching Marie how to fall, how to jump how to attack, and how to stab using a stake. He was also teaching Jubilee and Kitty and Bobby, but it was Marie's destiny to be the slayer and all of the stuff that Charles was teaching to her she somehow knew and by the end of the night, she fought like a pro, Charles said that she knew all he could teach her and the rest would come naturally after time and practise. Bobby was also a natural fighter but that was due to the fact that he did Karate and Judo and tae kwon do, he also did boxing and kickboxing, he was kind of a defence arts obsessive. Marie thought that this was to do with the fact that he had been used as the school bullies punching bag one to many times. Kitty and Jubilee were having real trouble though. So in the end Charles said he would help them cast a spell, to make them better fighters. By the end of the night they were an ass-kicking team.
Marie walked home feeling much better in herself, she could take care of herself, she felt empowered it was brilliant! She said goodbye to her friends and Charles and they all went there separate ways, this time when she walked past the cemetery, she was grinning instead of cowering in fear, she was smiling instead of scowling. She was practically skipping instead of walking. She was completely unaware of the fact that she was being watched by Logan, who was standing in the shadows wondering what had prompted the change in her, especially after what had happened the other night, with Ororo attacking her, Logan had been able to fight her off she may have been strong but she was no match for him.
Marie was coming to the end of the cemetery and she felt suddenly chilled which was not unusual as it was winter, so Marie pulled her long black coat closer around her and walked a bit quicker, she was nearing the gates when she sensed someone behind her, she turned quickly and saw a man creeping up behind her, his face was set in an ugly snarl and Marie recognized him as a vampire, she felt like running away screaming, but then the feeling of power rose up in her again and she let fly with a vicious kick to the mid section, followed up with a round house kick to the side of his head, the vampire fell to his face and Marie reached inside her pocket for the stake Charles had given her earlier, she pulled it out and instinct took over she went to stake the vampire when he got to his feet and kicked Marie's legs out from underneath her. She fell to the floor catching herself on her hands and rolled on to her back and flipped herself to her feet. She grabbed the stake and tossed it with all of her might at the vampire, it caught him square in the chest, the vampire looked at her and hissed then completely disintegrated before her eyes. Marie fell to her butt on the grass and sat panting. Logan who watched the whole thing with a sense of pride, this meant that the watcher had got his slayer, and that soon he would make his appearance. He thought that it was about time he met his old friend Charles Xavier.
Marie got up slowly feeling a huge swell of pride and also pain from that certain fight, it was different to when she had to fight Charles she knew that it was due to the fact that she knew that Charles would never hurt her intentionally. But the vampire had been out to kill her, and that made her fight all the harder, she was literally fighting for her life.
She slowly got to her feet, picked up her stake and made her way, albeit a bit gingerly to the cemetery gates
Charles looked over to the door of the magic shop he had recently bought, he had heard it open and then looked up, but there was no one there. "Tsk, tsk Charles, you really should be more careful." A mocking voice came from behind Charles' right shoulder, Charles realised that it was his old friend, if you could call him that, Logan. He spun around with a smile, and met the man face to face; they shook hands, and smiled at each other. Logan was centuries old just like Charles, you see as long as vampires existed Charles would be needed, he had coached thousands of slayers over the many hundreds of years and vampires or demons had killed them all sooner or later. Logan had been made a vampire many centuries ago and since then he had remained youthful, he was given a soul when gypsies cursed him after he had killed one of theirs. Ever since he had become a good vampire, helping the slayers, as best he could. "Logan, my good man, how are you? How long has it been, twenty years?" Charles asked him. "Bout that" he replied. "Who's the new slayer, I saw her in action tonight, she annihilated this stupid ass vampire that tried to chow down on her neck, I was waitin' to see if she needed any help, but she creamed him." Logan finished and Charles heard the note of pride in the younger mans voice. "Her name is Marie and she is seventeen and she is in Sunnydale high school. She is the most powerful one yet Logan, she knew the moves before I even finished showing her them, she fights quickly and fluidly, as you probably saw." Charles' voice also held a hint of pride. "I think that it is time to introduce you to the slayer, when you saved her from Ororo the other night, she freaked out when she saw that you were one of them, so I believe that you should meet her and explain what you are and what you do for the slayer." Charles finished. "You want me to go meet her now, I know where she lives" Logan asked. "No Logan I will formerly introduce you here tomorrow at the same time." Charles explained. "See you then Chuck!" Logan grinned and then disappeared through the door. Charles rolled his eyes and went back to studying his demon books.
The next day after school Marie and her friends were practicing their new fighting techniques on each other. Bobby and Marie were sparring against each other as they were both similarly matched and Jubilee and Kitty were practising with each other. They were on the field in an empty corner. They had been practising, for an hour when they saw Charles walking toward them. "Hello Ladies, Gentleman" He greeted them as regally as usual, and they smiled a hi, then gathered around him to hear what he had to say. "I am glad to see that you are improving in your fighting skills, you can now all go home except for you Marie I need to introduce you to someone at the magic store. Jubilee and Kitty, I have some spells that I need for you to research, it is all in this book, and Robert I need you to patrol the graveyard, no vampires will be out as it is the day, but I need you to scout around and find any places that could be good places for them to be hiding." Charles had given them all things to keep them occupied, he didn't want them interrupting. "Will do dude" Jubilee said and they all walked off to complete there tasks. "Meet back at the magic store at nine tonight, and we will go on our first patrol." This announcement was greeted with much enthusiasm, especially from Bobby.
"Damn it!" Marie cursed, Charles may look like he had a major stick up his butt, but he was a superb fighter. This was the fifth time he had knocked her on her butt in ten minutes.
