WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEE!!! COFFEEEEEEEE!
Anyway.. :-/
Raptor glanced around at the spacious place. "Wow." She just stood there. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another mutant enter the room.
"Well, who do we have here? Hello young lady." He said and stuck out his hand. "My name is Beast. Welcome to the Institute." She looked at the hand and turned away. "Thanks." The two mutant teachers exchanged a look. Raptor spread her wings and flapped up to the banister on the stairs. They all looked at her, surprised.
"So.. Where's my room?" she asked. Kurt grinned and teleported into the hall. "Come vith me, little dragon!" he said with a mock bow. As she was walking out, Logan interrupted her. "Hey scales! You forgot your stuff!" with that, he threw the bag up. She caught it, but just to throw it back down. "Trash it." She said as she walked to her room.
"So, ze Wolverine has given you a name," Kurt said happily.
"So, what's it to you?"
"Zat means he has accepted you. You're defiantly one of us now! Ach, your room." He opened the door. Her mouth dropped open. It was huge! It even had a big picture window, one that she could sit in! She marveled at the room and plopped on the bed. She looked pointedly at Nightcrawler.
"Good bye!"
"Oh! Sorry zere. Dinner will be in a little bit." He closed the door and she promptly fell asleep.
~Dinner time, students~ "Burgh, what-?" Raptor rolled over and hit the floor right on her tail. She rubbed her tail sleepily and opened her drawers. Sifting through mounds of jeans and small shirts, she found a pair a cargo pants and a bigger shirt. She slipped them on and went into the hall. She stopped and looked at her feet. She couldn't wear shoes anyway, since she stood on dinosaur like feet. She grumbled and asked a passing girl where the dining room was.
"Oh, like, you must be the new girl! I wanted to meet you! My names like, Kitty Pryde! What's yours!" she flipped her hair and waited for an answer. 'Oh god a valley girl' thought Raptor. "Name's Raptor. What's your power?" she asked while rubbing her eyes, desperate to wake up.
"I can phase through stuff! Want to, like, take a shortcut to dinner?" she asked. Raptor nodded and they walked to a spot, Kitty grasped Raptor's arm, and phased through the ceiling. Kitty landed in her seat while Raptor landed, once again, on her tail. "Dammit!" she yelled, and then realizing where she was, shut her mouth. The Professor looked slightly amused.
"Ah, students? This is our new recruit, Raptor." All the students turned to look at her. "Hi," was all she managed to say. She found and empty seat and sat down. "Let's eat!" Kurt yelled and dug into the food. Raptor began eating equally as fast, almost passing Kurt's level of consumption. She had lost almost 30 pounds and wanted it back. Even though she looked like a dragon, she definitely looked undernourished.
"Students, there has been a change in the schedule," Several kids looked up but most stayed focused on their meal, "There will be a danger room session at 8:30 tonight. This is to let our guest see all of your powers and for her to try out her own." Raptor looked up with mild interest in her golden eyes. This statement was met with mixed feelings; several protests could be heard while some grinned at each other. Raptor wolfed down the rest of her bread and excused herself. She was stopped by Prof. Xavier though.
"Raptor, I'd like you to have this." He handed her a small watch. She looked at it, then back at Xavier. "What is this for?"
"Press this button." She pressed the button, but nothing happened. "Wrap your tail around your leg and look in the mirror." He explained. She did so and looked. She looked like Jessica Flyt, not like Raptor! She gasped and turned it off, looked at her normal self, turned it on again. She turned around and saw that if she wrapped her tail around her leg, she looked.. Like a human. She considered her true form to be 'normal' now.
"Uh. Thanks Prof. I'll only use this in school and outside though, because I like to look normal." She walked to her room as the Prof. eyes widened. She wasn't like Kurt; he had worn it nearly anywhere he could. He mentally sighed and went back to finishing his meal.
She walked with the other students, glancing at their 'combat outfits' in disgust. She was uncomfortable with how tight they were. (AN: I would be too! I can't see how anyone would wear those things! :-P) She wore her newly bought cargo pants and a T-shirt. She remembered the big fight they had with Kitty trying to buy clothes. As they walked into the Danger room, the Prof. explained the simulation.
"We're playing capture the flag tonight. You try not to hurt the opponents, just get them out of commission, understood. Team A will be Rogue, Kurt, Evan, and Jean. Team B will be Scott, Logan, Kitty, and Raptor. Ready, Go!" Before Raptor could protest, the smooth walls of the Danger Room had vanished. Her team was sitting near a bright green flag in the middle of what seemed to be an abandoned subdivision. Scott looked at them and said, "Okay, Kitty and I will take this side, and Raptor and Logan will go over there. Let's move!"
(AN: this will be in Raptors POV now)
We all ran in opposite directions. Logan crouched in one corner of the building, while I checked his six. [1] We spread out and took two streets at once. I ran when she saw a shadow flash by. I snarled softly at any movement. My nose told me it was Rogue. I circled, not knowing where she was. She suddenly jumped out and swung a punch. I dodged, and leaping into the air, dived back at her. I put my hand to her face, thinking it would disorient her. I was terribly wrong.
(AN: Rogue's POV)
Her hand touched my face. I screamed and went down. Memories swirled, bad memories, of her parents being killed, being beaten in the dead of night, torches everywhere, like a Frankenstein movie. Small wings grew out of my back, a tiny tail sprouting, my skin darkening. It hurt. I heard everything clearly, the noise deafening. "Professah, help ma!" I cried, the sentence a half roar. We still had contact! I rolled away, crying. Then the rage, unwept fury that coursed through my veins. I needed to kill!
The simulation shut off, students crowded around me and the unconscious mutant. Conflicting feelings threatened to take hold. The rage said kill, attack! No, no, these are my friends! Kill them!
"Bahck-Off-I-need-to-kill!" I shouted. The kids began running to the exit and Logan walked to me. I saw through a red mist, like blood, that I had begun to charge him. I no longer had control over my body, and that scared me the most. He grabbed my arms, grabbed where I could not tap him, and held me down.
"Listen Rogue! Its Logan, come on, darlin' calm down. Just breathe." He said, grunting with the effort it was taking to hold me. The anger subsided, but then, came the common sense to fight tactically. I rolled and leapt, wings barely holding me up. I flew blindly, crashing into walls and various platforms, I could not take is any longer. I collapsed onto a platform and succumbed to the darkness.
Alright, watch for the next chapter coming soon! Will rogue be able to contain this monster she's gotten? Find out nest chapter.
