Chapter 10:Dangerroom Sessions,Paint Guns, and Questions
I growled as I walked into the danger room.Mr.McCoy had been sent to the infermary and I had to take his place in being the younger stundent's sub.If Ororo and Logan arn't going to do this why should I?
"Sunspot,it's a no power zone."
I pulled my hair into a high ponytail and pulled Berzerker out of the game.
"Why vollyball?"
I muttered and hit the ball back to the otherside,this game was pointless,except if your trying to break your jaw.I mean,I supposed to be in a group called 'The Elements' and I'm stuck in a team called the X- Men,for all I know that girl with the sword from Saturday could've been the one I was supposed to be with.
"Voltage!"
I was brought out of my thoughts by the ball hitting my nose.
"ROBERTO."
I could feel bolts of electricity flowing around me and two hands trying to stop me from turning the entire danger room to ashes.
"Let go,Ray."
I hissed,ignoring the dark red blood that flowed over my lips,man,he broke my nose.
"Calm down and I'll let go."
I growled but released to power that had been built up by the anger and slumped against him,my world went black from there.
Slowly I cracked open an eye,and close it.
"Close the blinds."
"Sorry."
Slowly I sat up and looked over at Ray.
"What are you doing in here,it's 12:00 on a monday."
"Some of us got to stay home,you should see what you did to the danger room."
"I can take a guess,and the resault's a mager migraine."
I stood up and stumbled to the small bathroom.
"You used more energy then you should have,you had McCoy worried."
"I'm just wasted,and in need of a asprain."
"It's in here."
"Thanks."
"Your used to being wasted,arn't you?"
"Yeah,growing up in Flordia with out any parnets and having to stay in the woods without knowing how to use your powers can do that."
It's surprising how quickly I and Ray became close,usually I wouldn't let anyone near me.I sat down next to him and leaned my head on his shoulder.
"When are you turning 16?"
That's something you gotta love about him,unlike the others,he won't push you or try to pry into your past.He's got his secerets,too.Or is that just to me?
"In three months."
And then theres...
"Hey,guys,Logan's holding a session in the backyard for those who stayed home."
Jamie,I sware,he's like an annoying little brother,sure he's 13 and all,but still.
"What's he having us do?"
"He's sending us into the woods with paint guns,first team of two to hit the most teams gets a week off chores!"
I groaned but pulled myself to my feet anyway,grabbed my suit and locked myself in the bathroom.Maybe I could com-nope,won't work with Wolverine.Ipulled on the black and red suit and followed Maltiple and Berzerker downstairs.
"Who's with who?"
I asked as soon as we got outside.
"Depends on when you got here.Jubilee and Multiple,Wolfsbane and Iceman and You and Berzerker."
I snatched up one of the paint guns and grinned.
"I don't mind this,it's just your timing,Logan."
"Live with it."
I followed Berzerker into the woods.Logan actually sent us out in age groups,I wonder if he knew Berzerker was a month older than me.
"Get down!"
I yelped as the two of us hit the floor.
"Rahne,your using you highted scenses.That's not fair."
"Who said anything about fair?"
With a grin I shot both her and her partner.The winner of the three hour game was Iceman and Rahne,it's gonna take a while to get the orange and purple paint out of my hair.
"Ray?"
I asked,we had all gone to the pool in order to wash away the paint.
"Yeah?"
"Have you ever heard of a group called 'The Elements'?"
"No,why?"
"Well,I'm supposed to be looking for them,my mother left me her place."
"So,if you do find them you'll leave the team."
He looked away from me,what was that in his eyes?
"I'll have to,their supposed to be family or something,maybe they'll hold the infromation about my mother I need to know."
"What?"
I hadn't ment for him to hear the last part of that.I bit my lip and dropped off the side of the pool,putting my whole body in other than just my legs.
