Chapter 5

With that, they followed her to go inside to the training center. Sil stopped and turned around, quickly jogging toward the children. Nightcrawler paused and waited for her. The rest of the group continued.
"Artie please bring the children inside quickly and if any of you are injured, please report to the hospital room immediately, Jean will help you there, understood?" said Sil, a little breathlessly.
"Sure thing" said Artie. Following Artie, the children began to march inside. Sil jogged back to the other group and didn't see Nightcrawler until the last minute, accidentally running through him
"Ack.Kurt.is that you?" asked Sil, "Sorry 'bout that."
"Iz ok, iz vas probably my vault anyway" said Kurt. His German accent made Sil smile, she really did love him. Kurt, on the other hand, was blushing and his heart was racing. His tail kept spiraling and then straightening out. He actually liked it when Sil ran through him. For an odd reason, it made him feel all warm and jittery inside. The silence was making him uncomfortable.
"Um.I could teleport both of us to the training room" said Nightcrawler, "To catch up vith everyone elz."
"Ok.we could do that" said Sil, a little too chirpily and eyed his tail. Nightcrawler twirled his tail, but held out his hand.
"Here hold on" said Kurt and Sil took his hand, "Just varning you, you may veel a little empty in between teleports."
"Wait what is THAT supposed to m." asked Sil, but was cut off short by the black empty void that appeared. Kurt had wrapped his tail around Sil to support her. He was used to the several seconds of nothingness, but his passengers usually weren't. Hence, when they got to the training room, Sil was both flushed and green. Sil was actually silently thanking God for letting him allow her to actually feel his tail for once in her life. Her stomach was tingling from where his tail had been. It had been so soft and warm and cozy. She smiled at thought of it. He had long let go, though, and someone new was in the room, besides Scott, Ororo, and Professor Xavier. It was John Allardyce, also known as Pyro, and as always he was dangerously flicking open and closed his silver lighter. He had dirty blonde hair that lay floppy, sort of. He stood tall and had the look of rebellion printed all over his face. He was wearing an interesting black T-shirt that read in tiny print, If you can read this, you're too close to me. Now go away. Far away. Those shirts always made everyone's day, for some reason.
"That was so cool!" exclaimed Sil.
"Mutant farts are so not cool" said John, indicating the sulfur smell. Kurt became uncomfortable. He always felt a little awkward, being blue and all. Then Kacee, Bobby, Gwen, Meg, and Clark filed in. John watched them, the girls especially. He thought that the girls had a lot of spunk. He liked their hair and smiled at the thought of it. He was Kacee closely. He liked her a lot, but in away he was afraid of being in a relationship with her. If he screwed their relationship, it would NOT be the last time he would hear from Kacee. He wasn't a coward; he was just waiting for the right moment to come up. It needed to be perfect timing because of any of the consequences. It wasn't just her; she had friends, friends who were dangerous.
"Gwen go to the sink over there and take off that cloth and wash your wound carefully, it should have healed by now though" said Xavier. Gwen went over to the sink, took off her gloves and threw out the dirty cloth that had been tied around her arm. She was amazed at how rapidly the gash had healed and began scrubbing off the bloody residue. Meg watched her friend in amazement and couldn't believe that the wound had healed in a matter of hours. For her, a PAPER CUT healed in two to three days.
"How did it heal so fast?" asked Meg.
"Unicorn horn shavings. They're quite useful" said Xavier.
"Isn't that like animal cruelty? Wait where did you get unicorn? Do unicorns exist? They're only in folklore" said Meg who was getting more confused by the
minute.
"Folklores are no lies, they once happened a long, long time ago," explained Ororo, "Time Wizard brought us, we got some 'collections' on the way back, it was no cruelty, it was more an offering."
"Whoa" said Meg.
"I'd say that was bull, but I was there so, it was a little freaky and all being surrounded by wooded area, mythical creatures, and wood nymphs and elves who were frolicking through the woods. It gave me the creeps" said John and he gave an involuntary shudder.
"That is so cool. I have unicorn dust on me! Or HAD, but that is so COOL!!" said Gwen excitedly. She was amazed and surprised and very confused.
"Do you have photos?" asked Meg, knowing they probably didn't.
"It would have been too complicated to explain what the camera was, it might
have changed history" offered Scott, as an explanation.
"Wouldn't YOU being there already cause a change in history?" asked Gwen as
she finished wiping up her long-healed wound and pulled on her gloves, tugging them to her elbows..
"That's why it is dangerous and at all times you must keep to yourself. Only if
you must, then can you talk to others, but it is like a last resort" explained Ororo. Gwen, Clark, Meg gave her a look of awe. Their thoughts focused all on one word, wow. Then Xavier started speaking, out loud and in their heads. Meg shuddered involuntarily, to her it was sort of creepy that someone could actually inside your mind, but she thought, she'd have to deal with it.
"Yes, yes, that is correct, but that is not what we're here for. As you three know,
this a school in which you'll be staying at to learn and." began Xavier.
"Wait a darn minute.we, well I, came all the way from Kansas to New York, just to live in a school? That makes no sense" said Clark.
"For crying out loud, let him finish" said Kacee, letting her annoyance be heard, which made John smirk.
"Thank you, as I was saying, yes, you'll be living in my school, for mutants. Here, you will get a regular education, plus I will, and so will my X-Men, help you three, control and adapt living with your powers. This is the Danger room, where I hope to at least begin to help you control you powers, starting today" said Xavier.
"We'll being living here? That's so cool. Do we get our own rooms or do we share with people?" asked Gwen excitedly.
"There's a room near Jean and Scott's and right next to Bobby and
John's, which is next to Kacee and Sil's. You and Meg will be sharing
the room alone and Clark, you will be living on Bobby and John's room.
Everyone's necessities and such have been delivered here and sent to
your rooms" said Xavier.
"That's fast, and confusing. How did you get our stuff so.fast? Everyone's stuff is here? I don't get it. How is it here? Were our parent's contacted? When.how?" asked Meg.
"They were notified while we stood outside Pathmark waiting for you to come out" said Jean speaking for what seemed like the first time, Scott's and her hands were entwined with one another, noting that the affection between them was a little more serious than the other 'crushes'.
"That explains them because they live in New York, but what about me, my parents are in Kansas, and that is quite far away from New York" said Clark. Kacee glanced at Gwen and they gave each other forced smiles, they were thinking the exact same thing, this guy is.just is, everyone knows that New York and Kansas are far away. No need for excitement.
"I brought the Blackbird over. The Professor gave me the address and I went over, they agreed and your stuff is in your room" said Ororo.
"Oh" said Clark, "so what's so special about us, and why did you decide that now was the time to get us, and how did you find us?" asked Clark. Wow, thought Gwen, the guy was asking something that was actually worth asking, even Kacee was impressed. Meg was just standing there, mesmerized by Clark's presence. Bobby had sat down, next to John. Bobby was tired, being awake from four in the morning, but John was listening. He wanted to find out if this guy was a goodie-two shoes like Iceman over there or rebellious like him. So far, Clark was in between, which was okay under his standards.
Sil, on the other hand, was NOT listening to what they were saying. She found staring at Kurt more interesting. More like staring at his tail, though, that was quite fascinating. She remembered how a moment before she was held by it. She sighed at the thought. Kurt was aware of her presence, but didn't really know what to do so he just swung his tail around. He rolled it up, spiraled it and such. He was bored.
"Ahem," began Xavier, clearing his throat, so he knew everyone was listening, "I used Cerebro, a device used to help me track mutants. You three are mutants in need of help and that is why I went to find you. Magneto has been tracking you down and he may have found you" said Xavier.
"What's, who's Magneto?" asked Clark.
"He's a very dangerous, powerful mutant who thinks there is a war brewing between humans and mutants" said Xavier.
"Where do we play in?" asked Meg, glad to be finally in on the conversation.
"I don't know" said Xavier, "I am trying my best to find out, though. Scott, Ororo bring them into the training room. Jean get the medical papers and notepad out. I would like to begin."
"Begin what?" Gwen, Meg, and Clark asked at the same time.
"I need to know the full extent of your powers, and from there, I can help you control them" said Xavier, "You five didn't need to come, but you're here, make yourself useful." He looked at Kacee, Sil, Kurt, John, and Bobby. Scott and Ororo led to another section of the room. It was quite big and there was an enormous white 'bubble', inside of it was the Danger Room
