Silver And Sprite
Chapter One: Makes You Stronger
A silver Protégé quickly ran up the long driveway to the X-mansion. When it reached the stairway to the house it stopped. A dark haired older woman and man exited the car, along with a young girl. The girl had shoulder length hair, it was a light brown color, and the end of the hair had golden blonde tips. The girl had on sunglasses, flares, and a blue shirt with red stripes at the end of the sleeves and along the neckline. The picture on the shirt was Grumpy one of the seven dwarfs, and in bold letters said 'I'm Grumpy.' As the three walked to the door, it automatically opened. They walked into the main hallway, a large group of teenagers, and three adults stood. One of the adults was a man in a wheel chair. He wheeled over to the guests and gave them a smile. The two adults near the teenage girl said something quickly, gave the girl a hug and kiss goodbye and left. The girl just stood in front of them, looking at her black converse shoes, and colorful shocks.
"Welcome Ada." The bald man smiled.
The girl looked up; her grayish blue eyes sparkled, from the tears forming in her eyes. But, the girl held them back. She didn't want to cry, she hated tears, and they made one look weak. She didn't want to seem weak, or anything related to that word. All her life she had always had to go through life the hard way. Nothing easy ever came her way. She was the perfect example of the saying 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' She had always used that as her motto, she never gave up no matter the obstacles in her way. But it seemed now she was on the edge and there way nothing there to stop her from jumping. She saw a girl with red hair, another with brown and white stripes in front. Also a boy with long black hair picked up the last bag, and a boy with red glasses on tried to get the bag that she held in her hand, but Ada shook her head telling him no. She followed the three persons carrying her bags, and she found herself in a room with a mirror, dresser, and a twin bed with a nightstand next to it. They set her stuff down, and left.
The red haired girl said before leaving "We have practice in 5 minutes, there is a suit in your closet. Put it on and Rogue will be here to show you where the Danger Room is."
Ada just nodded in reply. The girl left her alone. Ada walked toward the closet and was surprised at what she found. It was a suit, like a superhero would where. She put it on, it was form fitting showing every curve of her body. It was black, and the bust was a gray blue color, there was a yellow belt with an X on it. The belt fit around the waist with loops holding it in place because part of the belt fell to the right side of her hips in an angular position. She also had a collar around her neck that connected with the bust. She wore yellow gloves that opened an inch before her finger tips. She wore boots the same color of the bust area of her suit. She smiled a little at her appearance, she had always dreamed of being a superhero, but this was different. She was a mutant, and people considered them as evil and not as good. A knock on her door brought her out of her thoughts. She opened the door and saw one of the girls that had helped carry her suitcases. She had short brown hair with white streaks in the front.
"Hi, Ah'm Rogue." The girl said with a southern accent.
Ada gave a small smile, and put out her hand, the girl seemed hesitant to take it. But the girl did and shook Ada's hand firmly. "I'm Ada Newman." The girl replied with an accent but not one from the south, it was harsher, but it had a small southern tone mixed with a deep city one.
Rogue arched an eyebrow, she couldn't tell where they girl was from by her voice. As she led Ada down the hallway to the Danger Room she asked. "Where ya from?"
"Virginia." Ada replied. "You?"
"Mississippi." Rogue told her.
Ada smiled "I love your accent; pure southern bell."
Rogue gave a small laugh. "Thank ya."
The two girls entered the metal room. Ada gaped in awe; she had never seen anything like this before. This was all so high tech looking, and a bit overwhelming. She saw one of the male adults start to talk, he was telling them about their practice. Ada wasn't paying any attention, she was examining them room.
"Ada?" the professor asked her. "Would you please tell us your power?"
"Well, I guess you could say I'm agile, I can move quickly in a small amount of steps. I can walk on anything as long as I keep moving; even water." Ada explained. She wasn't quite sure how to explain her power to them, she was even confused about it. Sometimes she wondered if she could do more than what she thought.
"Could you like give us an example?" Kitty was confused.
"Ummm, alright. Does this room create trees or poles?" Ada asked.
"Yes one minute." The professor left the room. The others watched him go up into the watch tower above. He had been reading Ada's mind as to how she could show them her ability. He was also confused by her mutation, when he had picked her up on cerebro, he couldn't tell exactly what she controled. He assumed she could control something as she was able to crimb trees and walk on water.
Suddenly the room was filled with a pond, and tall trees that were extremely thin. Ada ran at one of the trees, and walked up it as if she was walking on the floor. When she reached the top she walked across the tree tops, and landed on the pond. Before she had time to sink into the water she moved quickly using large leaps to the other end of the water. When she reached the ground she turned to face the others.
"Like okay, I get it now." Kitty replied.
"That's cool." Evan smiled; it reminded him of the movie 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.'
"Alright now that we know yours we'll tell you ours." Logan said, and each student explained their power and gave a demonstration. Ada realized why Rogue had been hesitant to take her own hand. It made Ada feel better; she thought the girl was frightened of her. She was quickly partnered with a boy named Kurt his code name Nightcrawler. She didn't recognize him; she didn't figure it out that he was the boy who had carried one of her bags until he explained that he wore a watch that made him look normal. They had been assigned to stop three figures called Quicksilver, Toad, and Blob. She examined the figures, the one called Quicksilver ran at her and she quickly dodged him by using him as a step. She stepped on his chest, leaped into the air, and landed on the floor in a squatting position. Nightcrawler had teleported in front of the Blob who was about to squash Ada, and teleported them onto the big boys back. Ada grabbed the illusion around his neck in a head lock, causing the illusion of the blob to disappear. She watched as Nightcrawler fought with Toad, and was slammed to the floor by Quicksilver, who then quickly ran away. Ada just smiled as she quickly leaped on his back knocking him to the floor. When he landed she jumped off, and landed beside him. She kicked him in the gut, and the illusion disappeared. She looked over to see how Nightcrawler was doing; Toad was down. Suddenly there were red lights flashing around the room.
Ada gave a questioning look to Nightcrawler "Does that mean we won?"
"Nine, somezing is up." He told her.
A voice surrounded her mind, What would you like for a code name Ada?
Hello? was she talking to herself?
No, you are not talking to yourself. I am a telepath. Now what would you like your code name to be?
How does Sprite sound? she thought of how sprites could get to one place to another quickly with their wings.
Perfect. Now please follow the others to the Blackbird.
Ada found herself in a jet, along with the others who had been in the danger room. She had no idea what was going on. ^^Are we evacuating? ^^ Her question was soon answered as she exited the jet with the others. They were in some sort of old house. She saw a window, and peered out of it. ^^A castle! ^^ There was a moat and everything. ^^But why are we-? ^^.
"Hey X-Geeks, nice of you to join us." A big teen said, he reminded her of the big boy called Blob she had fought in the danger room. ^^Are they real people, those illusions?^^ she asked herself. But she didn't need an answer she felt herself almost fall to the floor by the ground shaking beneath her feet. But she leaped to the wall and landed onto someone's back. He feet hand landed on the person's shoulders. But, before she could land she was quickly pushed against the wall by a gust of silver and green wind. When the person's face finally appeared she saw it was the boy called Quicksilver from the Danger Room. She noticed a little confused expression on his face.
"Who-are-you?" The boy asked in a rapid voice. She examined him, he was slender, his hair a silver white color. He looked like a model that you would see in a magazine. "Hello?" she felt him knock his fist on her head lightly. "Anyone-home?"
Sprite decided that she could think later, and now it was fighting time. She straightened her back against the wall, and placed her feet onto the boy in front of her. She pushed against him, did a summersault in the air and landed behind him. But he was as fast, most likely faster than her, and he turned quickly to face her.
"Impressive." he quirked an eyebrow.
"You too." She gave a small smile. "To bad you'll lose." She said as she leaped into the air and kicked him in the throat. An unexpected move, but Quicksilver managed to move out of the way slightly. "DAMN!" Sprite shouted as she received a punch in the stomach from the speed demon. She was not about to let that happen again.
"Not-as-fast-as-you-thought!" Quicksilver smiled triumphantly. He was confident that he had knocked the girl out cold, sense she was lying motionlessly on the ground. So the speed demon decided to give her one last blow. In the blink of an eye he raised his foot, and moved it to her stomach for another blow. Except this time she caught his foot before it landed on her. He gaped in awe when he saw her smiling. "What?"
"I think I am." She said just before twisting his foot behind him. She heard the crack of his bone break, and she quickly got up. "Next time." She winked, and she left him cussing up a storm. But he couldn't help but think she had prevented him in some way, like made him slow down. He thought for a second ^^Slow me down? Yeah right.^^ and he removed the thought from his mind.

It was dinner time at the mansion, and everyone was seated at the table eating and having polite conversation. Ada sat by Rogue, the girl she had met earlier. Ada hadn't said much sense she had arrived. That was not typical for her; she was usually bright and bubbly, always making her friends laugh, and making them feel better when they were upset. She wished she were at home, with her mother, father, and sister. But she knew that that would not happen, she was stuck in New York with these people who she knew nothing about except that they were like her. She took a bite of her food; it was mash potatoes and steak with green beans on the side. It wasn't bad at all, much better than her mothers cooking. The only thing her mother made well was braughtworst, and hamburgers. ^^Okay so there's one good thing. ^^ She had been trying to find good points to living at this huge house. So far all she had was the food, and a big room. She was taken away from her thoughts by Kitty.
"So where are you like from?" The valley girl asked.
"Virginia." Ada replied politely.
"So ya live near D.C.?" Sam asked her.
"Some what." Ada gave a small smile; she decided she might as well have a conversation and get to know these people sense she would be living with them. "So who were those guys we ran into earlier?"
"The Brotherhood." Scott told her with a frown.
Ada couldn't help but laugh. "You're joking right. The Brotherhood; are they some sorta gangsters or something?"
Scott glared at her, well she couldn't tell from his glasses but if she could see behind them, then that's what she would see. "No, they're mutants."
The smile left Ada's face, when she saw how serious Scott was. "Well, that one guy was pretty fast. But I doubt he'll be running for a while." Ada said hoping to make him stop with the glaring. Instead of glares she received surprised looks. "What?"
"You stopped Quicksliver?" Bobby asked her.
"I guess you could call it that, or you could say that his foot isn't attached." She said a little jokingly. She didn't get the response she expected. ^^Please tell me they have a sense of humor!^^
We do.
"Excuse me?" Ada said out loud.
"We do." Jean said again.
Ada glared at her; she didn't like people getting into her business. This girl had just popped her bubble, and Ada is one that likes her personal space. "Okay," Ada began "sorry hun, but that's a no go. Does the word person space, or private thoughts ring a bell at all?" Ada asked rudely.
Rogue couldn't help but smile, after all Rogue didn't care for Jean, and if someone else finally realized the evilness in the girl. Rogue would be too happy to agree.
"Sorry, I-" Jean was interrupted by Ada.
"Whatever." Ada replied and excused herself from the table, and went upstairs to her room.
"Ah guess ya should be careful who ya readin, huh Jean?" Rogue smiled. Jean just sighed, and noted to be careful with her telepathy around Ada.
