Josephine walked along the halls and found then to be more like a hospital. She sighed; this dream had been coming more and more now. She was growing used to it. She saw an open door and walked into it, only to see a man vary much like the one who attacked her the night her powers woke. She growled as he came closer. She hated him with a passion, which grew every day. As always, she felt his position in the room change. It was as if the room itself had catered to his will. The heat behind her forced her to shiver from adrenaline, but that night she did not attack first, instead she waited to see what would happen. The dream version held her close and soon she felt a warm wetness touch her. However, without hesitation she used her power force her attacker back. As every night, he went without that much force. However he did say something this time, "I will always be watching you freak. My kind will always be watching you and waiting for our chance to attack. Your only a child and no were near perfect. You will always be weaker then me and I will live to see it Josephine!"
She had woke that night feeling horrible, but fearful still she felt the kiss of the dream man on her shoulder. She touched the area and found what she had been looking for as if she had actually been there. She shivered in fear and then swore she would gain control over it, but not tell anyone. She then reflected on her powers and her ability over them, even others that had started to come out. She had kept those a secret, wanting to show them only after she gained control over them. As much as she hated to admit it, she did not like having to ask for help. Her independent sprit despised having to have help, so she kept secrets. She would be in complete control over her body and powers if it killed her.
It had been three mouths sense the night her powers came out. She slowly began to notice other things happening to her. She would get cuts only to see then heal before her eyes. She kept them to herself with the exception of one incident with Jamie who saw it. One occasion he watched a nasty looking injury heal after she had caught him from a fall. She made him promise not to tell anyone and swore if he did she would not be vary happy with him. Jamie was one of the only true friends she had, his mind worked much like hers. So he of cores agreed not wanting to see her angry with him. Seeing her angry with the other male's students was enough too not make him desire such a act on himself.
She found she liked the knowledge that she could get cut and heal, so at times she took high risks when she was alone. Do things that warranted a high injury factor only to have it heal before she left. She at times would sneak out of the institute at nights only to go and train more. The control was becoming an obsession of hers. The more she had the better and she would go to great lengths to attain the control as well. She did only come back after two am, in the morning. Which began to show after a while when she would fall asleep in the library. Hank caught her coming in once but it was a vague remembrance after she did two weeks of cleaning the x Jet and other things. She also had talked Logan into giving her harder lessons. Never in her life had she ever pushed herself so hard to do so much.
After a while thought, bigger signs became apparent of her, other powers harder to hid from the others and worst yet, she had not attained perfect control over most of her other powers. Logan would hit a certain area and she would grimace only to say it was nothing. However, she talked Logan out of any tests with Hank. She for some reason did not like the lab vary much at all. She had gained control of her power enough for her to go to school with the others and she could not be happier. Control enough for more ideas outside the walls of the place she lived was a silent thrill.
She picked her outfit out and went as far as to practice her greeting over a hundred times in her room. She had to have everything perfect for her first day back around people. She wore her all time favorite outfit and it showed. The knees in her blue jeans were worn and in most areas bore patches others showed the spandex under cover. She also had the shiniest silver dragon on a dark blue shirt and wore a jean jacket that showed signs of wear and tear. Her make up was dark blue lipstick and light blue eyes. She wore body builder gloves and had her black shades to finish. Her backpack was a dark black with the tell tail silver and green dragons embroidered on the strap and pouches. She finished the look with black boots that were flat and were mostly covered by the jeans. Her hair was slightly curled and she had painted her nails black as well. To say in short her outfit screamed Pop rock 80's early 90's. She also had placed the sunglasses that were made to replicate the glasses off the movie Wild Wild West. She practiced her walk as well. Only then did she slightly relax.
They woke her up for school and she was ready in a flash, hair and all. Walking out she found the school looked at them like the enemy, with the exception of four male members who took one look at her in spandex and jean and smiled at her. Her schedule was for advanced classes, so she was a year a head of most of the advanced team, being pronounced a senior from her first day. She had two classes with Scot and the rest were members in the lower grades. She was also ahead of the lessons from her memory. In history, she corrected the teacher even, not caring if that embarrassed the teacher. Science they had a lab of which, she managed to do before the teacher was even done explaining it. Gym was a neither idea interlay, they knew she had powers and so when they said she used her powers, she would prove them wrong by demonstrating. She also would tell them exactly how she did it and have a younger student do just as they were told. She was out to prove herself in a world that was harsh to her kind. Impressing the others, she spotted the boys from that morning. They were also in the same grade, at lunch they invited her to their table. With a smile she accepted and ate with them. Talking about groups like Twisted Sister, Kix, White Snake and White Lion as well as other late 80's and early 90's bands, she found a quick bond with them. She had a blast with them, after the last classes as she had the chance to listen to one of the members of their band play his guitar. They called themselves Generation X factor. Of which she adored, as well as the fact they told her she could jam with them some time.
She waved her good bye as Scot took her home. She had a session planed as well as four hours back to back full session with Logan. She was getting good as she had hoped for. She had gained a control she did not have before over herself. She had gained a control over some levels of her sonic blasts. Nevertheless, she had to work harder at the others; she had learned that when she did some moves with her hands it did certain things. She also was doing better in school when she pushed herself full steam ahead even was doing a load of extra credit work as well. However, she ate less and less as well, as her speed in everything else grew faster. That caught the others eye, she would at times on the weekends other then sessions spend every other waking moment reading or on the computer. That of which also caught the attention of the teachers. Jean tried to talk to her about it and only to be ignored. She became aggressive to any of the younger males of the place when they came, with the vary small exception of Jamie. She did her best to be kind and gentle to the younger mutant.
Logan found himself walking to the Professors office, finding also that Hank and the other teachers were there as well. With a sigh, the professor explained what was going to have to happen and why. They had talked about it amongst the small group of themselves for a while. Trying things here and there that were supposed to work. Like leaving the food on a tray near her. It was always just as full when they found her asleep in the chair most nights. Other times she would just say she ate at school only to have the school, say she was not even in line for it. It began to worry the teachers at Bayville high as much as were she last lived according to their records.
"Logan you will be surprised to hear this so I suggest you take a seat." The professor began, that just spelt a huge secret. "It has come to my attention that Miss Daniel is showing some . . . rather disturbing behavior. She works herself to an extreme I had almost not thought possible. Is that not true?"
Storm sadly hung her head; "She gets frustrated easily as well. One class she had with me she, she actually became aggressive to the point of force. One of the students more specifically male tried to get close but she forced him away. Every time she became so, volatile that she just left and I see her increasingly now isolating herself from the others. It is as if she is afraid of them but she will not show it. I also have found she is in two places at once. I will see her in the hallway and then the next she would just come out of her room. It is strange to me that if she had a neither power why not tell us?"
This disturbed the teachers even more as the information they collected came out. Logan growled, "I have also seen her take a hit in class full force and she acts like its nothing. Every morning her sent tells of a nighttime journey as well. The smell of blood and fight is with her to. Most mornings, she will have just taken a shower . . . only the ones were its first thing in the morning and she had no time for a shower did they come up. I have a feeling she is also avoiding check ups. She is afraid of something."
Hank then sighed, he felt powerless to do much. She had been so tentative in his classes and even more so when he had started her out in researching things for her other schooling efforts. They could not simply force her to do it and not the others then an idea downed on him, "Why not just give everyone check ups? I could give vaccinations as well. Maybe even sneak in a blood test or two, we could monitor the residents whilst were at it. I could do it this up coming week end." Hank offered. The Professor then sighed hanging his head slightly, "Hank you will find a lot of differences in her DNA that is for shirr. Her parents told me some disturbing news about her. From what they say, her mothers DNA was altered and her father may be the only X gene carrier . . . but that dose not stop her powers. That is the disturbing part. They have documentation on this as well. Everything about her is documented from her conception to her birth only weeks later. Her mother however, died when she was three so a lot of information is just hidden from us.
Her mother now is archly her aunt outside the paper which allowed full adoption and no this is not incest. It was a well kept secret, even Josephine herself doses not know it. Her mother was involved in an experiment, vary much like you Logan. Only hers was a bit more . . . blood based. Her mother was surpassingly code named Project Siren. The terrorists next form of defense agents what used to be the mutant threat. They however made one mistake . . . they captured her father. They were getting next to no were with her mother and after they captured her father. They more then likely use the paring of them for a special test. From all other information it was some sort of mind; control stimulant . . . like telepathy but without the mental aspect of emotions. Her mother escaped the same night her father massacred the entire duplexes of members. According to hospital record and her sisters taping of the true mother's confession, we find that she is far more different then any other mutain child or other wise. Her youth showed her mothers enhanced speed and that is not just her body. The child was declared a genus at age three and she hungers for knowledge with a photographic memory at that. They had to keep a lid on her for a long time and moved nine times to hide her from her father. Apparently her father seeks to either take her or kill her if she dose not fit a certain profile."
The others were a bit puzzled, "Ok we know that now but . . . who is the runts true father?" Logan insisted getting up. The professor then looked at Logan, "The child's father is one of your greatest enemies Logan. Victor Creed is marked the birth father and according to the documentation form, the lab they were held at a mutant named Sabertooth had been used. I figure she may be getting the powers from him. Enhanced healing ablates may just be what that is. However, as for the two sightings at once . . .that I know is not anything that I can understand. She cannot clone herself that much I know."
Logan growled, 'They keep that from her?' his mind shouted, 'Why?!'. He turned and gripped the door; "She may have also gained the mental problems as well. Sabertooth is loyal . . . but he is highly unpredictable. He answers only to the strongest . . . only to thoughts outside of myself who can truly defeat him with next to no effort. That and he accepts no weaknesses either. Those who temp his hand that can not defeat him are killed."
Storm then gasped as she looked outside the window, school had gotten out and there looked to be a fight on the lawn. Jean was trying to fight off Josephine, by the looks; she seemed to be losing it as well, "We had better hurry, it seems that we have a fight on our hands." They then rushed out of the room, Logan in the lead/
"Come on Jean, you think I am weak and can't take it? Prove it Miss perfect. Show me what you got!" Shouted a highly angered Josephine, Jean had to that point like the other refrained form using her powers but now seemed to need them. She forced the other away as a protective metier. Josephine had apparently been taking a load of lesson from Logan and paid perfect attention to the lessons. However, Josephine kept coming back for more with a vengines. Yet Jean could feel nothing but hate, anger and yet still in the mix a sense of confusion coming from her attacker. It had all started when Josephine had lost a verbal conflict, teasingly she had stated the weakness in her vocabulary, it had escalated into a really fight after that, when Josephine would not let her pass.
Josephine the second she felt powers used made a sound wave that flung Jean ten feet and then used her speed as well. Once Jean was on the ground, she was on her. Their fight had escalated from a mear verbal battle to full fist on fist. That of cores was stopped as Login's arms wrapped around her shoulders and a hand clamped over her mouth. Hank also kept an angry and confused Jean at bay tell the anger in Josephine blew up into full out rage, as Jean tried to explain.
There was a flash of light and a NEITHER Josephine appeared only to fight more, leaving the real Josephine to go limp. Delivering a powerful kick to the abdomen as she shouted at Jean to bring it on. Jean of cores in her out of control anger did as bid. Forcing the duplicate to push the limit however, the fight was truly ended as Jean used every once of force to push the duplicate back into the brick wall. The duplicate like the real Josephine passed out from pain as their head hit bricks. The body went lose as the duplicate disappeared.
Rushing to the infirmary as Jean was in total shock, they noted her body seemed to be regenerating itself. Bruises would heal up at an increasing rate and her breathing went back to normal to fast. They then did tests on her, which answered many questions. They found her twenty pounds underweight and were begging to show. Her other powers showed themselves as more tests were done. Hank also did a full DNA test as well as other tests with blood samples. They did cat scans and found her muddle obbligato was larger then normal, which could explain the aggressive behavior.
It took her three hours to come to, they figured from the excess of using her powers and the taxing amount of energy she could have used in the fight. They had placed her on an IV and had nutrients going into her. The weekend was coming only luck on their side. She woke to find the professor beside her, immediately after waking she was trying to take out the IV. Of which they stopped her, "Your not well Sonic . . . lay back and rest." Hank said in a soft comforting way. She relaxed only after they glared at her for long amount of time. She gave in feeling too weak to do much.
"Why the secrets Josephine? Why haven't you been eating lately? Your body is suffering for it." The Professors voice came, she only looked away to a wall, "There is no problem professor. I am in perfect control of myself. I can control my power over sound waves and I have never felt better. I have no problem!" She stated Hank then sighed, she tried to hide it but the more she did the worst it was. The Professor then ordered her on bed rest tell she got her weight up and her sessions were stopped tell she received counseling from a friend of his that he was going to call in.
She fought the restraints for a moment but that was until Logan came in. She growled deeply and glared at the Professor, hateful towards him for making her weakness become so apparent to the teacher. She then refused to speck and when she felt the professor in her mind she forced his chair away from her and thought of other things, focusing on books and other things she had seen and or read about. That frustrated the professor to no end sighed and wheeled out of the room. Hank had been smart to have the IV's that went onto her checked every few hours and have Logan leave the room.
She would keep quite and sleep mostly. They found no duplicates of her anywhere outside the infirmary, that at lest comforted them. She was however, gaining weight, as she was bed ridden slowly it came. She evenly became vary lax in her emotions, the Professor even found a way into the mind of the younger stunted. She had scrim to boredom and ran out of things to ponder on in the weeks she lay there. Dreams had come more now and had taken a tern she hated every time she slept. The dreams that had lead to the obsession were astounding to him and he had placed a block on them.
Logan had made shirr that after they took her off the IV's she ate properly. It was a reward for her, when she ate properly she and Logan would have a session. She was already ahead of the others in her training. With the exception of the Tai Chi and Yoga classes of which she slept threw the first few. Logan would lend her books on them and drill her with a slow pace on them. She of cores paid perfect attention to the lessons. It was slowly becoming apparent that she had feelings for the teacher. Within two weeks, she was a healthy weight and they opted to keep her from school for a neither week.
The Professors friend told them because of the differences in her brain she was at times going to react like an animal ad others more like a child. They kept her on a medication for that and she was restricted on her free time. She of cores made a hobby of writing. She often wrote about her life and made up different things. They found a few she had left out and one had caught their attention specifically.
It was a deeply interwoven romance story with highly adult content. Logan had opted to keep it after he found it. Saying to himself when he had the chance, he would just place it in her room. However, that chance never came.
She went back to school only to join in on the band she had meet the first day. She became lead singer and would work on music for them. Lyrics that came out with the pop rock tune. The role took little of her time, as she would think of it before she wrote anything. She would pour her heart and emotions into the words and yet, the residences were as of yet to hear one note of the songs. They had also begun to give her lessons on the electric guitar. Of which she advanced in as well as her ability to seduce others. She had toyed with the males not only when she was home from school but at school. They did not doubt that she could get anyone to do anything with a look or seductive move.
Logan had gone as far almost as to, just not give her sessions. However, she seemed to keep it down when with him. Subtle movements that could be just nothing was all that were used. She was changing and fast. Logan did not like it, in his mind he missed the attentive student who was so worried about hurting others with her powers. However, a neither part enjoyed the self-confidant worrier that came out of her. It enjoyed when she lashed out at him because he tried to get her to open up from her weaknesses. At times it was all he could do, to not just react as the animal inside him commanded. Her body every day became more and more of a dream to him. He did his best to not give in but was slowly losing that battle.
