Chapter 4

He swung and teleported through the trees in the little wooded area that was near Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. He was blue, fuzzy, and angelic symbols all over. The angelic symbols symbolized for each and every sin. He had three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot. In addition, he had a four foot long tail and spoke with a heavy German accent. He was Kurt Wagner, or more commonly known as Nightcrawler. His flexible body was from so many years of being in the Muniche Circus in Germany and some parts of Massachusetts. His mutant powers allowed him to go from one place to another, as long as he knew where he was going. Unfortunately, after each teleport, the stench of sulfur would always arise.
In the distance, he heard Kacee's singing, but he wasn't affecting him because he wasn't that close to her as Artie was and he also because he kept teleporting. Kurt knew of Sil's attraction toward him. Well, actually, he didn't know officially, but here and there he would find the littered copies of Sil's drawings, usually covered in lipstick marks. He had even seen the ones that had him and her holding hands and his tail in the shape of a heart. For some reason, he made it a hobby to collect the drawings he found. One part was because this was God's beautiful green earth and it didn't deserve to be littered by papers. Another was because he couldn't deny his own feelings for Sil. Every time he passed her in the school's halls he would blush and thankfully, for him, it wouldn't and couldn't be seen because he was blue. He would ask her out and it wasn't that he was scared or anything, but the fact that he wasn't prepared. He had seen her drawings enough to know that she was basically obsessed with his tail. So, he had been practicing for a while to make his tail in the shape of a heart to impress her, like on a first date, but so far it had come out a little crummy. He was trying though and when he was ready he would approach her.
(SPLAT!( Kacee's singing had become screaming and THAT could travel much farther than her singing. He put his hands over his ears, but that was useless. He was starting to get the worst headache of all time. All his train of thought was lost as he tried to concentrate on teleporting out of there. Nothing. He couldn't really even move. He would have to wait until it passed over, or in other words, Kacee stopped screaming. Around him, trees started to explode. He had to get out and fast.
Gwen, on the other hand, was getting a terribly painful migraine. Her arm was in the worst pain possible. She also believed at the painful moment that Clark was one of the stupidest people alive, plus he had the earplugs. Xavier had allowed Bobby, Gwen, Meg, and Clark off on school ground level, outside, and then the basketball court opened and the plane went under. Bobby was going to give them a tour of the outside of the school when Clark ran up to a girl with short blue streaked brown hair, who was singing the last verses of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to a group children, and poked her to say hi. Since the girl obviously never saw him before, she screamed, thinking probably that he was someone on the loose or something. Whatever it was, she was having a major migraine.
Sil had had it. Kacee was giving her headache. Trees were exploding. Windows were cracking. People were on their knees. The children were in pain. She was getting pissed. In any moment she was going to spray acid mist at her or maybe at the guy that started it all.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Kacee calmed down. She took in a deep breath and then another and another and then released it slowly. Her throat stung from screaming so much. She then took in her surroundings. Some of the children were crying. There was glass from broken windows and dust from exploded trees. There was an imploding sound and then the stench of sulfur. Then there was a shout; Kacee looked to her right. There, stood, or better yet, lay Bobby, two girls, and the guy that startled her. The girl with green streaks had shrieked at Nightcrawler who seemed a little woozy and was sitting on a tree stump, while the one with purple streaks just gaped.
"Maybe it ought to be time for introductions," said Bobby, not liking
the silence one bit.
"Lemme just get used to the silence," said Meg whose ears were still
ringing.
"I'm Gwen Applegate" said Gwen and shook hands with Kacee, Sil, and
Nightcrawler.
"I'm Kacia Takamura, call me Kacee.um.Gwen.is your arm okay.And why
are you wearing elbow length gloves and a turtleneck in the summer?"
asked Kacee.
"I get cold," said Gwen sarcastically. Sil laughed, she found this
sort of thing very funny. Kacee just gave a forced smile.
"I'm Sillendia Dyelon, you all can call me Sil, Sillendia, or Raven,
anything else and I'll give you the squirt of death," said Sil
smiling.
"I'm Kurt Wagner, but in the Munich circus I was known as the
magnificent Nightcrawler" said Kurt, pleased to give his entire
introduction.
"Wow. That is sooo cool. I'm Meg Evans," said Meg, beaming, and she
gave a small wave.
"Um.I'm Clark Kent.I'm really sorry.I didn't mean to scare you.um.are
you ok?" said Clark. At that, Gwen nudged Meg.
"That could be his line" she whispered.
"What?" Meg whispered.
"Are you ok.I'm sorry" whispered Gwen and Meg smiled.
"I'm fine" said Kacee, "You guys should probably meet Professor Xavier
at the Danger Room, since you're new students.Bobby, Sil, Kurt,
me.we'll bring you there."
