Carter sighed annoyedly. He knew she was right, of course, but he couldn't help but be annoyed with her. After all, it had been only a year ago when he was found out, and not in the best way, either; someone, who will remain nameless (A/N: *cough*Zeke*cough*), set the cafeteria on fire with a little help from his explosives, and Carter had freaked out. Earlier, he had thought about a really kick-a**ed dragon he wanted to draw, and as he stared at the firey inferno, he thought back to that dragon, and the flames took it's shape! While he had done that, Kylie had seen an odd boy with semi-longish blond hair and mixed skin, his blue eyes showing mischief. He saw Kylie watching him, and hurried off quickly, baggy clothing swishing as he did.
"....Carter? You all there?" Zeke asked, waving a hand in front of the 17 year old. "That's it, you've lost it."
"Huh? I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Carter replied.
"Well, obviously. You didn't think I didn't see that?" Zeke asked calmly.
Kylie sat down, fading so that Zeke's next play-attack phased right through her. If Zeke didn't try so damned hard, it wouldn't have been amusing for the gang, with the exception of Carter, who was still zoning out.
"They may have passed that law two years ago, but you know it will be at least another two years before anyone takes it seriously," Ellie began, her tone that of a serious parent. "People still fear us, and they'll exterminate us first chance they get. We can't afford to screw up. I asked my mom, and she said that when she was a kid, it was even harder. She said we have to-"
"Wait," Carter said, finally coming back into their reality (A/N: funky way of saying he snapped out of his thoughts). "Your mom is a mutant? What powers does she have?"
"Telechinesis/Psychokinesis/Telepathy, basically." Ellie answered, looking matter-of-factly at him. "My da's a mutant, too. He, er,"
"Yes?" Zeke urged on. He really wanted to feel aware right now, as he was coming in and out of the conversation, as he kept watching the lunch- line. He forgot just how hungry a mutant could get, especially with a higher matabalism than humans.
"Well, I haven't seen my Da for a long time. My parents divorced when I was but a wee lass of three." Ellie, who was now quite aware of the others' stares, answered again.
"Yeah, but -what powers- does he have?" Kylie asked impatiently, fading through another play attack from Zeke.
"Well," Ellie began, scratching her head. "From what I hear, he was called Banshee, and, as the name implies, he has a wicked battle-cry, or something like that. What about you guys?"
"Ooh! I'll go first!" Zeke said, waving a hand in the air like a child. "My daddy was called Gambit, and he makes things explode. My momma was called Shadowcat, or some corny thing like that, and she does what Kylie does, without being able to go invisible. Carter, your turn."
"Uhm, kay," Carter began, thinking quickly. "My mom was called Rogue, and she sucked the life-force out of people, so it's amazing I'm even here at all! My dad was called Pyro, as the name implies, he could manipulate fire. The only difference is that I can create it."
"My turn?" Kylie asked, and was met with nods of agreement. "My mom was called the Scarlet Witch, and she did all sorts of things, so I can't name them all, and my dad was called Nightcrawler. He can teleport and go temporarily invisible."
"Is that so?" a cold voice said from behind them. The gang turned to see Glenn Michaelson, the quarterback for the senior football team and class bully, staring evilly at them. He yanked Kylie up by her wrist. She cried out and tried yanking back, afraid to use her powers now.
"Let go, Glenn!" she cried, tugging as hard as she could. It didn't work. He pulled her inches from her face.
"Now, why should I do that?" he asked, twisting her wrist uncomfortably, making her cry out again.
"Glenn, let her go!" Ellie cried, standing and looking at him with an extreme hate in her eyes. She wasn't alone; Zeke and Carter were standing, too, and looking just as pissed off. Zeke stepped forward.
"Glenn, let her go, or as God as my witness, I'll shish-cabob ya." He pulled out his deck of cards, and Carter nodded in agreement.
"What are you going to do, mutant? I don't think I was talking to you, was I?" Glenn asked, and his cronies, Josh Myron and Keagan Thompson, were standing as well, and grabbed Ellie, who cried out and struggled like there was no tomorrow, by the arms.
"Let us go!" Kylie cried, feeling her wrist go numb with pain. She couldn't take it any longer, and faded through his grasp, and staying half- faded to keep safe from attacks.
"Let her go, or -I'll- kick your sorry a-"Kylie was cut off by Glenn himself.
"What are you gonna do about it?" Glenn asked, mock fear on his face. "Beat me with your pom-poms?"
Carter and Zeke's gaze flipped with amazing speed to Kylie, who stared daggers at Glenn. Though she was not a cheerleader, he was mocking her for being female. She disappeared, going comepletely invisible. Glenn paled, for he did not expect -this- to happen. He looked around, and Josh cried out as he was punched in the gut, releasing Ellie's left arm. That was all she needed, and she turned and punched Keagan in the jaw, forcing him to release her completely.
"What, are you too coward to face me?" Glenn asked, having regained a controlled look. Kylie appeared directly in front of him, her yellow-tinted eyes unnerving.
"Say that again, Glenn. I guarantee you you wont go home in one piece." Kylie said sternly, radiating danger. Glenn stared at her, surprised, then regained his calm, cool composure.
"Until we meet again, Wagner." He said, eyes showing peril. He stared cruelly at her for a few more seconds, and walked off, Josh and Keagan following painfully behind.
