***********LAST TIME ON MY FIC: JESSE'S SISTER:********************************************
At school that day, everything went normally until 6th hour when, "Will Jon Nelson, Dahlia Leal, Matt VanderPloeg and Debbie Kilmartin please come to the front office." came on over the intercom. Matt and I exchanged glances, as we got out of our seats, grabbed our stuff, and headed for the office with Dahlia and Jon. The front office has see-through glass all around it, and as we rounded the corner, we saw each of our fathers. Debbie whispered into her comm-link, "Jesse? Adam? I think we have trouble."
"What is it?" Adam's voice said.
"The dad's are here, at the school."
"You need to get out of there, as quick as you can guys. We'll be over as soon as possible."
"Hurry!"
The teens walked around the front office hoping not to be seen, but unfortunately they were. They ran out the front doors, looking around for someplace to hide. They each jumped into the bushes, just as the dad's had come out.
"When I find that freak of a son I have, I swear...," a man said brandishing a gun.
"Don't worry, we'll find them all right, then I'll show that daughter of mine a thing or two about pain."
"HEY!" they heard Brennan shout, and then Jesse.
"DON'T MESS WITH MY SISTER!!!!!"
A gun shot was fired and then the dad's went off in different directions. The kids came out of the bushes, just as the principle and the police officer came out of the school.
*********CONTINUED: CHAPTER 2************************************************************
"What is going on out here!?!?" the principal yelled. The police officer gave the four teens a suspicious look.
"M-my father.... he was here to take us away... with my other friends Dad's too." Debbie said.
"Well that's their privilege... You are their children." the principal said.
Jesse and Brennan come over. Debbie hugs Jesse. "Jess are you okay? Did he hurt you?"
"Nah... I, uh, jumped out of the way..." he said with a wink.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" the principal asks.
"Jesse Kilmartin, Debbie's current guardian and older brother."
"Mr. Lopez? All of us had an appointment with you and Mr. Garcia this afternoon. This was what it was about." Jon said, in a ticked off way.
"Yes, yes. Into my office shall we?" the principal (aka Mr. Garcia) says.
They each walk into the principals office and Debbie takes the seat closest to the wall and Jesse.
"Now," the officer (aka Mr. Lopez) says, "What did you need to tell us?"
Debbie relays the whole story from her sending the email, until she asked Jesse to save her friends. Jesse finished as Debbie started to break down, and into tears. Both tellers of the story conveniently left out parts about Sanctuary and the New Mutant-cy...
Finished listening, the principal stood up and put a telephone call through to the Superintendent of Schools, telling her to switch over the parent/ guardian papers to have Jesse's name on them, and put the PO box number that Jesse had into the computer so that Debbie's report cards and things got to him.
"You are going to file for guardian ship of the kids right?" he asked the 2 oldest boys.
"Of course sir, my friends and I all are." Brennan stated.
"Viewing the course of events that have happened today, you all can go home but first must get all the homework from the last of your classes, and return tomorrow."
"Thanks, Mr. Garcia." Debbie said. The teens got the homework from their last classes and headed home with Jesse and Brennan.
*******THE NEXT DAY***********************************************************************
At school the next day, the teachers were seemingly easy on the teens... They announced also that the seniors that had exams and the last week would not be coming back after today. In 6th hour Debbie and Matt, along with other seniors with a B average and less than 5 absences all year, went to the gym for a reason none of them knew.
When they arrived to the gym they found it decked out in the school colors, with tables spread widely across it. Jon and Dahlia were motioning for Debbie and Matt. The latter joined the former and then the principal came up to the front of the room.
"Seniors," he said, "as this is the last day of school for you all, I ask of you just 2 things. One is to come back on next week Friday for commencement, and the second is to have a good life, all of you. Now your class is the last to leave, but you will all be recognized for the accomplishments you've made." He started in the A last names, and as Debbie was the first in their small group they had a while to wait.
1/2 an hour later, Debbie's name was called. "Ms. Kilmartin would you please stand." Debbie stood. " This girl here has devoted herself from her freshman year to both SADD and Amnesty International, and only this year was on yearbook. She accomplished a gradepoint average of 3.78." he motioned for her to sit.
Later the others were called, Dahlia for SADD, and Amnesty with a 3.45 GPA, Jon with yearbook and a 3.53 GPA, and Matt as Salutatorian with his GPA of 3.95 and FIRST Robotics. They left school, much boreder, and also an hour after everyone else had left.
*******LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL **************************************************************
The teens having less than 5 days of absences in their senior year, got their exam week off, and A's on all of their exams. They spent a few days of that week, in court.
"Ms. Kilmartin, is it true that your father was abusive?" says her lawyer.
"Yes, sir it is." Debbie answered.
"Did he ever leave marks?"
"Yes sir. He did."
"Your Honor, I'd like to present plaintiff's first piece of evidence," He said handing the photos of Debbie's back taken by Adam, before they'd healed and after where you could see the scars.
"Ms. Kilmartin, did your father ever threaten to kill you or your brothers?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"He sent me an email, with his threats and the threats of my other friends' fathers."
"Exhibit 2, Your Honor." The lawyer said, handing him a print out of the email
"Thank you, no further questions."
"Defense?" the judge said.
"No questions, Your Honor."
"Hearing, the testimonies of 2 teens, and an adult man, I've decided to give the guardianship of both Debbie and Justin Kilmartin, to Jesse Kilmartin." The judge ruled. After he left the room, and both Mr. and Mrs. Kilmartin left the room in handcuffs for the abuse of children, jailed until Justin reached adulthood. Winning each case now, the teens had the guardians of Shalimar, Brennan, Jesse, and Emma. The judge had ruled before, (Debbie and Justin's trial was the last.) that Shal would be a guardian to Dahlia, Emma to Matt, and Brennan to Jon. Thing was now that each of the teens were out of highschool, they'd be off to college in just a few months leaving them all with just Justin. Though not a bad thing, the members had all taken a liking to each of the teens in his/ her own way.
Coming out of the court-house, everyone was extremely happy that the people who abused their rights as parents were behind bars. Jesse, was honestly so happy, that when they got out, he swooped Justin up in a hug, and then picked up Debbie and twirled her around. He put her down and then grabbed Emma's hand. They raced up to the two cars that they'd drove in with and Jesse threw Brennan the keys, as did Shalimar to Adam.
During the drive back to Sanctuary, it was discussed what the teens would do during the summer before college. The teens had decided to go to a school very close to Sanctuary, and would be living there with Mutant X. Also during the summer, Debbie asked Shalimar to help her to focus on her Psionic abilities. Shalimar readily agreed. Jon was talking to Brennan in the front seat of the car ahead of the one Jesse was driving. Upon reaching the Sancturary garage, everyone got out and headed upstairs to the main room.
"Hey, Deb. We can start those training excercises now, if you want." said Shalimar.
"Sure. Let me go change into some workout clothes." Debbie said bubbly, very unlike herself, for the past 3 weeks.
"She sure seems happy." Brennan states.
"No, that's how she was when she was worry free, and scar free." Jesse corrects.
"That's how she used to act? Wow, that's nothing like the Debbie we know. Except for those first few weeks." Jon says.
"Yeah, we all acted that way, before we realized we had the 'evil' in common," Matt said. The 'evil' is what the teens and adults now reffered to instead of using the word 'beatings'. Debbie returned and she and Shal went up the stairs to the dojo.
*******************************5 MINUTES LATER********************************************
Matt sits at a computer council, not looking at the screen, but at Debbie and Shalimar practicing focus techniques. Emma quietly came up behind him.
"You do know that if Jesse were a Psionic, you would be dead by now don't you?" Emma said startling the teen.
"Wha- what?" Matt said.
"The feelings that your projecting, while watching Debbie practice. They were so strong that I could feel them all the way across Sanctuary."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Emma laughed. "You really like her don't you? You know, you should be glad Debbie's so unfocused, she would have picked up your feelings a long time ago."
"I know, I should control them but I don't know how..."
"Love's funny that way. Just try to not think so much about what you're feeling, try to contain them 'til you're away from the two MutantX Psionics... Kay?"
"Right... Thanks, Emma."
"No prob."
********************************1HOUR LATER***********************************************
After finishing with the focusing techniques, Debbie and Shalimar went off to their rooms to shower and get ready for a dinner the guys had arranged, at a fancy resturant, in the middle of town. The girls came down at different times as did the boys. Each of the boys were dressed in a suit of black, with a white shirt and a black tie to go with. They were sitting on the dojo's steps when the first pair of girls came out. Dahlia and Emma. Dahlia was dressed in a long dress with spaghetti straps, and the colour of midnight blue. Her hair hung down her back curled very gently. Emma was dressed in a mid- thigh length dress, the colour of violet, her hair gently curled as well. The next pair were Debbie and Shalimar. Shalimar was dressed in a floor length black evening gown, with spaghetti straps. She had a black lace shawl on as well. Her hairs was left straight and down. Debbie wore a floor length scarlet dress, with a shawl the same as Shal's, with her hair in gentle waves. The boys' faces all had a look of pure awe on their faces, when they saw their ladies. Adam's date would meet them there.
The 5 were off, and in a matter of 20 minutes they were outside the resturant. Adam's date looked as raidaint as the rest, in her sky blue dress. They were seated and given a menu.
"Well at least I can understand, this menu." Debbie stated. The three other teens laughed.
"What do you mean?" Brennan asked, completely confused.
"Well at prom this year, the boys took Debbie and I to a really fancy resturant. We came in, and were given menu's, that were completely in French... It was so completely embarrassing, we had to ask one of the waiters to translate for us." Dahlia said.
"To this day, I swear, I'll never go near that place." Debbie said.
Everyone laughed. The dinner was mainly uneventful, except for Matt spilling his water on himself. When they went outside, they found the streets eerily empty, and quiet. Suddenly 10 men jump out of no-where, and in the front was none other than Mason Eckhart, long time enemy of MutantX, and allied with Gabriel Ashlocke, who stood beside him. Debbie and Matt looked at Adam, who nodded and immedently they started forming into the biggest, toughest animals they could think of. Debbie an Elephant, Matt a tiger. They attacked the GS agents and Eckhart and Ashlocke as well. Debbie slowly lowered her head, tusks aimed at the two bodies, and was about to make them shish-ka-bobs, when Adam yelled "NO!". She stopped and demorphed while the two 'leaders' ran from the fight they'd started. Debbie used her Psionic abilites to make two GS agents fall unconsious, then the fight was over.
Debbie was red from shame. She'd almost killed two people. She started to think she was a monster when two arms suddenly surrounded her. She recognized the voice of Emma, as she whispered soothing words into her ear.
"You're not a monster. You were on an adreniline rush. I know you wouldn't have killed them." She said.
