No x-men, past or present belong to me except Misty and Saleeya.

Saleeya walked quietly with Scott down the hall. He was telling her about the tests that Jean needed to run when an odd sound caught her ear. Blurring out Scott's voice, she concentrated on the small noise any normal person would never have detected. They were alone in the hall, yet she could hear another pair of footsteps. There were six constant beats instead of four. She glanced behind her, trying to pinpoint the noise. Then she smelled it. The slightest hint of vanilla. She wasn't wearing vanilla and Scott had a mix of musk and Jean's jasmine scent. In three seconds flat, Saleeya pushed Scott into the wall, whirled round, grabbed the invisible person and had her nails pressed into their throat. Her prey squirmed and let out a small gasp of pain as Saleeya's nails dug into the tender flesh of the throat. Saleeya flared her nostrils and bared her teeth at the spy.
"Who are you? Show yourself, or I'll out you." She growled.
Slowly the invisible being melted into sight. Scott pulled Saleeya away from the very frightened girl. She was about 5'4 with long blond hair and almost white skin. She had the barest hint of freckles across her face and her blue eyes shined a little too brightly. The girl was wearing a white peasant top with flared blue jeans that had butterfly patches on the hip and leg.
"Misty, how many times have I told you not to spy on people?" Scott shook her slightly.
The girl had lost her look of fear and looked more playful and sneaky. She exuded mischief.
"If I'd known I was gonna get caught, I wouldn't have. Besides, she's the only person that really caught me other than Wolverine and she didn't try to skewer me like he did," the girl laughed and smiled at Saleeya. "Hey, I'm Misty Lewis, but the kids all call me Poltergeist. What gave me away?"
Saleeya grinned in spite of herself. "You are wearing vanilla perfume."
"Darn, that is what Wolverine said too. Gotta stop wearing so much perfume. You're Saleeya right? Well, glad to meet you," the girl stepped closer to her and whispered so Scott wouldn't hear either. "So was Peter, didn't you see his face when Scott walked in? I almost burst out laughing. I think he likes you."
"How long were you in there?" Saleeya was a bit taken aback at someone else hearing her make a fool of herself.
"I wasn't. I was looking through the window in the door. Well, I gotta go. Things to do, people to spy on, that sort of thing." Misty flipped her hair and hurried off down the hallway. Scott yelled after her.
"If I catch you anywhere near the guys locker room again, you'll regret it, Misty!"

I know, not incredibly interesting, but thank you to JamaykanQueen89 and CApTiAN MRs. FaRQuAR FeLToN for reviewing. I hope you keep reading this story, I hope you think the rest of it is okay too. Also I'm not the fastest poster, but I'll try to get the next chapter up within a month. Thanks
