Title: New Mutant
Part Five: Stormy Emotions
Author: Fire Fairy
Disclaimer: Yes, I own X-men and Firefly and DarkAngel and Dinotopia... wait a minute... The last three are just my favorite shows that Fox and ABC were stupid enough to cancel. And no, I don't own X-men, hard as I try to convince everyone otherwise.
Summary: After Amber's first encounter with Professor Xavier; still trying to find her powers, she knows them- we don't.
A/N: Hello, my next chapter up already. This one goes out to Woodie, because you were right. I do need more motions and weather and details. Before, I needed more speech. I just need to learn balance. I hope you like this and if you don't well, tell me anyway, just try to be nice.

Logan walked up behind Amber, who was currently staring out a window.
" Pretty big storm huh?" Within minutes of the meeting with Professor Xavier, a thunderstorm, an unpredicted thunderstorm, struck, forcing the students back into the school.
When Amber didn't answer, Logan looked at her reflection in the glass, noticing tear streaks shining down her face.
" I'm sorry about your brother."
" You know," Her voice was choked with tears. " He was their one hope, their one chance for survival and they killed him." Logan went to put a hand on her shoulder but she walked off, down the hall away from the window.
" I'm sorry." He called after her. Turning back to the window, he didn't catch her reply.
" Me too." With those words, she slipped down another hall and into an empty room. A room, by the looks of it, no one had been in for a while. " Me too."
~~~~~
" Maybe she can control the weather?" Scott suggested.
" No. She and her brother were to play a bigger part. He said that they were both very strong."
" But it's an idea."
" Yes. It's an idea. I think it's time we got back to the students." Professor Xavier smiled at his students and shooed them out of the room, wondering where Logan was.
" Storm?"
" Yes Professor?" She hung back, waiting for his question.
" Where's Logan?"
" He followed Amber. I don't know where he went."
" Thank you." She smiled at him.
" You're welcome Professor." Storm turned and walked quickly from the room heading to the top level of the school to be closer to the sky.
" Maybe..." The professor smiled at his thoughts and turned his wheelchair around. " I'll deal with that later. I'm too tired right now." The professor continued to move his chair until it was situated perfectly under his desk. He then put his head down on his arms and continued to snore.
~~~~~
" Has anyone seen Amber?"
" Better yet, has anyone seen Logan?"
The teachers all shook their heads, the other students forgotten. Jean spoke up from her position next to Scott on the couch.
" She'll be fine and Logan will turn up somewhere. He always does."
" I just don't like the idea of a new student wandering the building. Especially when we don't know what her powers are." Chris pierced his lips, thinking.
" Relax," Jean leaned over Scott and placed her hand on Chris's arm. " She'll be fine. I doubt she'll get into to much trouble." Settling back against Scott, the rest of the friends smiled and switched the subject.

Logan had found Amber a few minutes after she had left the window. Not caring to look out at the bleak sky any longer, he went to see where she was. Finding her had not been a pleasant experience.
Two hours later, the two people were sleeping, both tired from the onslaught of emotions Amber had produced. She had a strange ability similar to empathy, but reversed. Where someone who's empathetic can feel another person's pain, Amber could make the other person feel her sadness, her loneliness and her anger.
Logan had found her trying to stop herself from crying and from breaking every window in the school. He had talked to her, calmed her down. After a while, she poured out her thoughts and feelings. Tears had soaked Logan's shirt clear through. Looking down at the girl now, between sleep heavy lids, he smiled.
^She's not so bad, once you get past the survival mode^
" Go back to sleep," She muttered right next to Logan's ear. " You're waking me up."
" Sorry." He chuckled once and then drifted right back to sleep.
The two stayed that way through the night, and when morning dawned, the storms were gone and it was going to be a very bright, warm, sunny day.
