AW: I'm jealous.

After another short chat we were shown to our rooms. Unfortunately, I was separated from Amber and Ashley. I now shared a room with as southern girl named Rogue and an odd girl who always wore a yellow coat named Jubilation Lee or Jubilee for short. They aren't as bad as my younger twin sisters and older brother. Xavier said he'd send word to our parents and have them send clothes and whatever we want. Of course I want my soccer gear, all my CD's, and the laptop my father gave me for my eighteenth birthday a couple of weeks ago.
Rogue lent me a pair of black jeans, a black tank top and a white see- through blouse. I removed my torn prom dress and studied it with a look of disgust and a thirst for revenge at the people who made me ruin it. The red with gold stitching spaghetti strap dress had cost me two months worth of allowance and three paychecks. Tossing it on the bed I put on my borrowed clothes and met Amber and Ashley at the stairs. They too wore borrowed clothes. Amber had on a plain blue sundress that was a few shades lighter than her eyes and Ashley had dark blue capris and a yellow halter top on.
"Can you believe that idiot is making us attend classes the day we arrive," Ashley whined. "I have to take a class called Danger Room Training. What the hell is that?"
"Chill Barbie!" I demanded as my temper flared. "Just go to class and we'll talk about this later."
"Fine!" she cried giving me the evil eye as she walked away.
"Do you ever have the urge to strangle her?"
"Sometimes," Amber answered. "What classes do you have? Any of these?"
I took the paper she handed me and quickly scan it committing it all to memory. "Yeah, creative writing, zoology and Phys Ed." We say our goodbyes and part to go to our classes for the rest of the afternoon.
I ended up liking my teachers. Beast or Mr. McCoy was the coolest but a little eccentric when it comes to physics. Dr. Jean Grey and Ms. Ororo Munroe were too nice for their own good. Mr. Scott Summers is an arrogant jerk. I don't know what Dr. Grey saw in him once she got past the cool shades. Professor Xavier was smart and kind in the good-teacher kind of way. Mr. Logan, my Danger Room Training teacher, was by far my favourite. He could be my twin if he were eighteen.

Undisturbed for three years, my friends and I started to trust our new surroundings. My powers (yes plural) had grown stronger; my ice attacks and transformations used up less energy. My hair was now cut shorter to about mid cheek. I worked as a singer at a Japanese bar.
Milani still hated people but she had made it less obvious. Her fire attacks had grown stronger and now had two new powers: creating thunder storms and transforming into a Siberian tiger. Her black hair now sported blue highlights and hung down to the small of her back. Her golden eyes were spirited and fiery with wisdom beyond her twenty-one years. She had followed her dream of becoming a professional soccer player. She now held the record for the number of shut outs (RV: no goals scored for those who don't know. She's a goalkeeper).
Ashley really hadn't changed much with the exception of being able to disappear. She still acted like a bitch as much as I hate to admit it. We all still loved her just the same, after all she was family. With her blonde hair, blue eyes, and tall figure she had easily made it as a model.
Once in a while, we would visit Xavier and the others. They always checked out strength and power increases for anything suspicious. Milani and I could care less about it and go with the flow. Ashley, on the other hand, complained and bitched as usual.
"Amber? May I speak with you?" Xavier called as I walked along the lower level corridors.
Over the years, Xavier had become like a father to me. I smiled and stepped into the large round room. He had Cerebro on his head and seemed to be concentrating hard. I looked over his shoulder to see the small screen which had a map of Westchester on it. Three dots were lit up on one side of town and three on the other side. "I assume this means another mission?"
"Of course," he said adding a bit of a sarcastic tone to his voice while smiling. "You, Logan, Milani, Rogue, and Ashley will head for the river. The boys have been on their own for a while. Chances are they won't immediately trust you so be careful."
"Don't worry, I like 'em feisty," I joked and ran out to find the others.
* * *
Arriving at the river, we found nothing but darkness. The cold air made Milani, Rogue, Ashley and I shiver. Oops. codenames should probably be used here. Mine is Silverwing, Milani is Ember, Ashley is Nightcat, and of course the Wolverine is Logan.
A blur moved past my eyes and I turned wings spread in precaution. Ember walked up next to me while Nightcat just kinda faded in and out of different parts of the forest.
O_O O_O O_O
Silverwing, Nightcat, Wolverine, Rogue and I, Ember, had split up. Silverwing flew above the forest as Nightcat teleported/faded in and out around the forest. Rogue and Wolverine stayed together. They walked silently with Wolverine in the lead.
I felt my bones contort and reshape. My toned muscles from hours on the soccer field stretched with the changing bones. My insides changed also. The only things that remain my own are my eye colour and mind. I landed on my hands, which had now become paws, as a large Siberian tiger. I easily jumped into a near by tree and raced along the branches only touching the ground if I knew a branch could not hold my weight or until I ran out of branches.
I finally caught scent of the boys and let out a roar to signal the others. In minutes they were at my side.
"You shouldn't roar. It'll scare them half to death," Silverwing scolded me.
I bared my teeth and growled at her. She leapt a foot away and stuck her tongue out at me. I crouched making it look like I was going to pounce at her. She flew behind Nightcat and used her as a human shield.
"Cool it, Ember," Wolverine warned me as his metal claws shot out of his knuckles. "Lead us to the boys."
I snarled at him. I hated being told what to do. I may have been able to out maneuver Wolverine and scored some hits on him but he could skin my fur off with those claws of his. So instead I turned in the direction of the scent and raced off. Only Silverwing was able to keep up by flying overhead.
"Slow down, suga," Rogue called.
*Not on your life* I thought to myself as I ran even faster.
I stopped an exact eight feet from the boys' makeshift lodging. Nightcat appeared next to me as I began to shift back into my true form. "You know that is really disgusting, Ember."
"Oh go shove you face in a toilet, Barbie wannabe!" I half growled half retorted. "Go get Rogue and Wolvie."
She disappeared as Silverwing landed in front of me. "Hey!" she greeted handing me my hair tie.
I took it from her and pulled my long hair into a loose ponytail. "You ready to go recruit some new students?"
"Let's wait for the others."
"You wait. I'll go," I replied striding out of the woods. Once I'm within a few yards of their camp I slow to a timid walk, "Hello?" I called softly. "Is anyone out here?"

AW: Time to answer reviews! *RV screaming "The mmmooooon is mmmmaaaaaade of gggreeeen cheeeeese!" in the back round* Okay. We all know who the sane one is here. I guess I'll be doing the reviews.
Blondeness: I love wolves too! Hence the name. Angel of the Wolves. Glad it is less confusing. RogueVampyr will be happy to know that.
RV: Me do this one!
AW *leaps away from computer at RogueVampyr's sudden appearance*: Be my guest.
RV: Yay! Here we go!
Ice Lynx: Yay! Kurt! Logan's coming soon so have no FEAR! It is kinda fast but that's because we're- er I'm high on caffeine and sugar. Plus I wrote most of my parts in Chemistry last year. So. yeah. keep reviewing.
AW: Everyone review please!
RV *singing to self*: Could you look me in the eye and tell me that you're happy now? Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased? Are you happy now? Are you happy now? REVIEW!
RV: Sounds good to me. We don't own anything so. yeah. I do own Michelle Branch's new CD. Good CD.
