As soon as they walked in, both girls knew that all the guys' eyes were on
the two of them. Even Ben, who had been so rude to Kelly, stopped in mid
sentence. Jillian smiled and took a seat next to Kelly who sat next to
Logan and across from Clay. He looked more amazing in Logan's clothes then
she thought.
"Kelly," Charles said as he cleared his throat. "That's certainly a pretty dress, what color would you call that?" She looked down at the low cut dress and smiled at Charles before winking at Clay. "Opal. Though at home we called it London Lights, it's not exactly silver and it's not exactly blue and it's not exactly white, so we called it London Lights"
"Where exactly is it that you are from?" Ben asked suddenly, the casual sneer on his lips. "Ben," Charles began sternly, obviously he didn't permit any rudeness in his school, but Kelly simply hand up her hand. "Anaconda City, in Montana. I lived there with my mom for a while then she got sick and died, so I came here to New York to look for my dad" "Did you find him?" Ben asked, intrigued but not rude. "Yeah I did actually, I also found a lot of other things as well" She said as she looked at Clay quickly before smiling blindly at Ben.
Rogue walked into the dining room a minute or so later, she didn't wear a dress, but a pinstripe dark blue pants suit, her hair pulled away from her pretty face. Immediately, Kelly didn't trust her. She sat prettily next to Ben and her supposed boyfriend, Bobby, sat next to her. Something about her face was.She couldn't describe it, it just bothered her.
The dinner was brought out and Kelly poked at the roast suspiciously, it smelled like heaven, but Kelly couldn't eat, something inside her wouldn't let her even touch the drink that was placed in front of her. "You alright kid?" Logan asked as he eyed Kelly. "Yeah," She said slowly as she flipped the roast over on her plate. "I'm just a little tired" She looked up to see that mostly everyone was looking at her.
"Excuse me for a minute," She said as she pushed away from the maple wood table. Once she left everyone's eyes shifted to Logan and he sighed as he went to follow her. He caught her in the hallway as she clutched her stomach and she nearly doubled over onto the floor. "Whoa, easy there girl" He said soothingly as he gently lifted her upright, "What's going on Kelly?" He asked as he stroked her hair. "I don't know, I've just been feeling a little sick lately" He smiled grimly and gently sat her on the marble floor,
"Stay right here and I'll get you some water ok?" She shook her head, but the movements made her head spin violently. "No, Don't go" She said as she groped almost blindly for his hand. "Just stay with me for a minute, I'll be all right" She cupped her face in her hands and rocked on her heels for a while. When she stopped, Logan gathered her into his lap and held her.
When she recovered, she didn't bother to climb out of his lap. For a long time she wondered who her father was, she always imagined that her father would be a four button tie wearing breakfasting eating type. Logan wasn't any of these things. She liked the way she felt in his arms when he held her. I was completely unisexual, absolutely and completely unisexual. But the way that he held her made her feel safe.
"Oh," Logan said suddenly as he dug into his pocket. "I went into Manhattan and I bought you a little present" Kelly looked up at him and smiled. "What did you get me?" He smiled at her enthusiasm and handed her the little parcel wrapped in lavender tissue paper. She grinned as she gently peeled back the tissue and grinned, She lifted the long golden chain with a sapphire K in the middle of it.
"It's so pretty" Kelly said as she gently fingered the dark blue stones, "How did you know my birthday was in September?" Logan grinned from ear to ear. "I have my sources" Kelly smiled but glanced towards the doorway where she could see Rogue talking with her legs crossed prettily as she flirted with Bobby.
"I don't like her" Kelly said as she narrowed her eyes slightly. "Yeah, there seems to be something off about her" He said as lifted Kelly from his lap. "What do you mean?" Kelly asked as Logan took a few steps towards the dining hall and smirked. "I don't know, but if I'm wrong, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble"
Logan went over and smiled sweetly at Rogue. "Hiya Rogue, That's certainly a pretty suit" She could feel everyone's eyes on hers, "Thanks, I bought it from a store in Manhattan" While Rogue talked, Logan silently gripped the silver knife on the table. "How nice," In one swift movement, he sliced the knife across Rogue's chest. "LOGAN!" About everyone at the table screamed at once. Logan held up a hand and watched as Rogue's body transformed into Mystique's blue form.
"Oh I fucking knew it!" He yelled and ran from the room with Scott close at his heels. They ran into Rogue's room and saw how it was totally torn apart. There was a sound thumbing at the closet door and as Logan pulled the door open, Rogue fell onto the floor, wrapped up in tape and cloth. Logan and Scott quickly lifted her up and unwrapped her on the bed. "What happened?" Scott said, oddly demanding. "She came in as Kitty, then she just morphed and I don't really remember the rest"
Down at the dining hall, Storm and Kurt had Mystique safely concealed in a large pantry that Storm had iced completely shut, so iced that it would take Scott's beam to burn through it. "What the hell is going on, and who the hell was that?" Clay demanded as he came up from behind Storm. "That was Mystique, we've been having trouble with her for a while"
Clay shook his head and gripped Storm's arm. "I don't give a flying shit," He said viciously. Kurt took a step forward but Storm shook her head to keep him back. "Mr.Horton," Storm began calmly. "There is a war coming, we hoped it wouldn't come to this, but it has. Pauline Maguire, otherwise known as Mystique, can take the form of anyone; She's on the evil side, so to speak, along with Magneto and one of our own students, John Allerdyce. We can't make you choose a side, but we hope that you choose ours"
Clay seemed very amused. "I never even said I was staying, I'm just doing this as a favor to Kelly" Storm concealed her smile. "I see. That might be a problem however," she said until she heated her own skin to such a temperature that Clay had to let go. "Because Mystique knows that you're with us, he's going to be looking for you, so I suggest until this war is over, that you'll stay with us"
He shook his head and looked over his shoulder at Jillian who was talking quietly to Charles. "How long will this war take?" He asked bitterly. Storm seemed a little helpless "We don't know, it could last a few months to a few years" Clay let out a long breath. "I'll think about it" He said distempered and cast an annoyed look at Kurt who was almost hovering. He glanced at Kelly who was sitting on the marble steps with her long legs folded neatly under her and went to see her.
As he walked away, Storm smiled at Kurt. "Springs coming, and we know what that means" Kurt seemed confused. "What's it mean?" She placed her hands over his cheeks and kissed his mouth soundly. "Bless your heart, you're adorable. It means that our Gonzales as an eye on Firecracker" Her mouth snapped shut. "Firecracker?" Kurt asked. "Yeah, Kelly's name is Firecracker" Kurt smiled and followed Storm as she went to search for Logan and Scott.
"Kelly," Charles said as he cleared his throat. "That's certainly a pretty dress, what color would you call that?" She looked down at the low cut dress and smiled at Charles before winking at Clay. "Opal. Though at home we called it London Lights, it's not exactly silver and it's not exactly blue and it's not exactly white, so we called it London Lights"
