CATFIGHT
Jay woke up alone in a an unfamiliar room. This was not an unusual occurrence, but then a waft of wind brought Logans scent to her. She sat bolt upright in bed as the events of her escape came back to her. A large smile broke out on her face. She was in Logans room, in Logans bed, and she was safe. There was no collar around her neck, no heavy mental presence hanging over her like a thundercloud. She slipped out of the bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She suppressed a shudder, her life with her father and not done her any good. The dress she was wearing was nice, but definitely not her style. She summoned some energy, pulling it from the sunlight out side. She used one of her major powers to create an outfit for herself. The new clothes landed on the bed, black pants that would fit her perfectly and a gray halter-top, with them came a black thong and a pair of black sandals. She quickly dressed, leaving the dress on the bed. Her hair was a mess, and she used a lesser power to rid the long strands of the many tangles that had accumulated during her short sleep. She twisted it up into a bun and used a tiny bit of energy to create a few hairpins. With her hair in place and wearing the clothes she had always dreamed of she took a final look in the mirror, then headed out to explore.
She headed out from the bedroom, turning right and heading down a long hallway. At the end was a small staircase, she chose to go down, using her heightened senses to find the kitchen. It was empty and she rejoiced in that. Jay pulled open the refrigerator and grabbed the first three things she saw, cheese, pepperoni and a large basket of strawberries. She quickly sliced up the cheese and meat, then arranged the three on a plate eating as she arranged. She was ravenously eating when a movement in the air currents told her that someone was there. She turned around to see a young woman, who was about 4 years younger than her standing silently watching her. Jay swallowed and opened her mouth to speak.
"You're the one that came heah with Logan aren't ya?" She asked, with a soft southern accent, not giving Jay a chance to speak. The girl was angry, her scent changed as she spoke. Jay shrugged, the girl was pretty enough if you didn't mind the anger, and the white streak in her hair. The girl spoke again. "I know you came with him, so don't try to deny it. I can smell his scent on you." Jays eyebrows rose.
"You can smell his scent on me?" She asked slowly, sniffing the air again. Her eyebrows rose again as she detected Logan inside this girl. "Interesting….. But as for me coming here with him, I came on my own. Logan just happens to be an old friend" she paused, stressing the word, "Of mine. He let me use his room to freshen up." Jay stood; taking advantage of the catlike grace that came with her many years of martial arts. The other girl frowned and her posture changed. She seemed very angry now.
"You leave Logan alone." She snapped, pulling her gloves up. Jay let one eyebrow rise, and permitted herself to subtly morph into a slightly catlike form, she now had a tail, large pointed ears, delicate pointed canines, and short silver fur all over her body. Rogue blinked, the woman looked almost catlike now. Rogue began to circle around the woman who did not move, but posed for inspection. The only body part that moved was a long lashing tail. Rogue growled, softly, and the woman whirled around, faster than Rogues eyes could follow.
"See something you don't like?" Jay asked softly, her voice an almost inaudible purr. "The name is Jay. No more no less. But you can call me Void." She smiled, allowing the girl to see her teeth. "Now do you have a name, or has the cat… swallowed your tongue?" Jay smiled even wider at the pun. Laughing silently as the other girls hackles rose.
"All I see is something I don't like. As for my name, its Rogue." Rogues chin came up in the air and she glared at the other woman. She could still smell Logan scent mingled with Voids own, as well as being part of Voids scent. "All you have to do is leave Logan alone, and I'll leave you alone." Rogue snarled. Jay laughed, enjoying the anger.
"See, Logan is not your property. And as for me leaving him alone, he's the one that carried me to his room." Jay grinned, seeing how close she could push Rogue to the edge. Jay moved and began to slowly walk around Rogue. "Gee honey, I think you're a bit to young for Logan anyways, better luck next time." Jay finished her circle and sat back down, going back to her strawberry as if Rogue was no longer there. Jay finished the strawberry, licking the remnants from her fingertips. She stood, headed for the refrigerator, and bumped into Rogue. Rogues forehead smacked into Jays chin, and Jays powers reacted, trying to grasp the others girls powers and life force.
Void walked into Rogue, and Rouges powers reacted, only to find that her powers were being counteracted by Voids powers, which were the same as her own, only much more powerful. Eventually the two powers stopped fighting, and Rogue backed away. Void looked shaken, and Rogue guessed she looked much the same.
"I suppose," Rogue began timidly, "That with powers like that, you can have Logan if you want him." Rogue began to shake, but she wasn't sure why. She noticed that Void was doing the same. "Why are we shaking?" Rogue asked.
"Powers reaction to each other." Shrugged Jay, annoyed that she had lost control over herself and was shaking so badly. "As for Logan, give your powers a year or two for you to finish growing into them. Then we'll be at the same strength and it'll be a fair fight." Jay giggled, "I suppose you wouldn't have the strength to walk to the fridge and get me a glass of milk would you?" Rogue shook her head. "Thought as much. Well, I guess there's only one thing for us to do." Void sank towards the floor. Rogue slipping downwards to sprawl next to her.
"What's that?" Asked Rogue as she popped a few pieces of meat and cheese into her mouth.
"mf scm-just a sec." Mumble Void around a large mouthful of cheese. "Well isn't it obvious?" Rogue shook her head. "Ah, Well you see, we scream. Loudly, for Logan, so that he can't help but hear us." Void laughed. "He still has his 'super senses' so if he doesn't hear us he must be dead."
"Dead? Neat. Count of three then?" Asked Rogue, Void nodded. "Ok, One, Two Three…"
