Chapter 4
Win or Loose, We Work as a Team
"Ah good to see you," Professor James said.
Professor Xavier nodded. "I am glad to see that you are better. I brought Jean, Scott, and Ororo back with me. I also brought Logan, Rogue, and Kitty." He said pointing to them.
"Professor James nodded. " Well, please come in." They followed Professor James into the Recreation room. Katy saw them and ran to greet them.
"Hey, it's good to see all of you again." She said.
They smiled. "It's good to see you Katy." Jean said.
"Hey kid." Logan said.
"I don't believe we have met Logan, Kitty or Rogue." Professor James said. "What are their powers?"
"I believe Katy has met them. Logan's powers are somewhat superficial. He has claws and the ability to heal himself. Kitty can walk through walls and Rogue can copy someone's power when she touches someone. It is very powerful, however, and will hurt the person she touches."
Katy smiled. "It's nice to see all of you again."
Everyone gathered around the room. For some time, they talked. Professor James told his story to Xavier and they shared a few stories. Finally, Professor Xavier decided to leave.
Jean looked at Katy. "Why don't you come back to our school with us and try out one of our mutant courses."
Katy looked at Professor James. "May I?"
James nodded.
"Would any of you like to come along?" Ororo added.
"I will!" Alicia said jumping up. Jean smiled.
"I will too." Aaron said as he jumped down on the ground. He had been walking on the ceiling.
Katy followed Professor Xavier and the others out. Matt, Audrey, and Jake had also decided to join the group. Jake only came to see if he could beat everyone else.
When they arrived at Professor Xavier's School for the Gifted, Jean and Scott gave them a quick tour. The mansion was huge. It had lots of classroom and bedrooms. Then they took them to the practice room.
When they arrived Professor Xavier gave them instructions. "We have set up this course, to train mutants to control their power. The course it set on easy and the safety precautions are on. You will each be divided up into a group. Matt and Audrey you are a team along with Scott. Jake and Aaron you are a team with Logan. Lastly Katy and Alicia you are a team with Jean. This course is a race, but it is also a test to see how well you use your powers."
Everyone nodded. They headed to the room waiting for Xavier to say 'go'.
"So are you ready to loose," Scott said to Logan.
Logan growled. "I creamed you last time and I'll do it again."
"Not this time." Scott laughed.
Jean shook her head.
Suddenly they heard Professor Xavier's voice. "Go"
Suddenly rubber disk began flying out. Katy fired at them with good aim. Alicia started gaining her power. She tried hitting one, but it missed.
"We each have to get three before we can move on." Jean said as she used to telekinesis to destroy all three of them at once.
Katy shot at two more, destroying them. "Come on Alicia you can do it." She encouraged.
Alicia tried aiming towards one again, but the electricity hit the floor. She tried again and hit one.
~~~
Matt slashed at the disk that came near him. Audrey was also able to slash at them. Scott used his visor to destroy three of them right away. Soon they had each gotten three and went out. In the next part of the course, you had to dodge the fire blasts that came out. Audrey easily flew around them. Matt was quick and was able to stay away from them. Scott had the timing right and it was no problem for him.
~~~
Jake could move really fast. He would move away from a disk and quickly catch it. He had destroyed three in no time. He quickly moved on, easily dodging the fire, leaving his teammates behind.
Logan's claws came out and he quickly slashed three of the disks. He looked to his left. Jake had already speeded off. Logan growled. He was not one himself to work as a team, but he could. Aaron was struggling. Since his power was that he could walk on the walls, it didn't help much in this situation. He was able to jump on one smashing it to the floor, but couldn't seem to get any others. Logan wanted to speed on ahead, but he would never leave Aaron behind.
~~~
Finally Alicia had destroyed two more (with a little telekinesis help from Jean, but what are teammates for, right?) and they moved on. Jean floated over the flames and Alicia rolled underneath them. Katy timed it right and ran past them, using her fire as a counterattack.
~~~
Aaron kept trying, but couldn't destroy any more. Logan caught one of the disks on his claws accidentally, but came up with an idea.
"Kid," he called.
Aaron looked at him. Logan gently threw the disk at him making it easy enough to destroy it. After destroying one more, Aaron and Logan ran on. Aaron ran on the ceiling over the fire. Logan had to time it right to run past.
~~~
Jake knew he was in the lead. He was going to win this. Who cared about the rest of the team? He was in this for himself not them. He quickly ran across the water, skimming its surface. After that, he quickly attacked the two dummies that were set up and crossed the finish line.
~~~
After making it past the fire, Katy noticed a pool up ahead. She gulped.
"The youngest has to swim." Jean said. "I guess that's Alicia."
Alicia nodded and quickly jumped in the water and began swimming to the other side.
Katy silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll push you to the other side." Jean said.
She picked Katy up telekinetically and pushed her to the other side of the pool. She then floated over herself.
~~~
Scott and his team made it to the water. "Audrey you're the youngest, so you must swim."
"But what about my wings. If they get wet, I'll be as slow as a turtle." Audrey complained.
"You can do it Audrey." Matt encouraged.
Audrey jumped in and awkwardly began swimming to the other side.
~~~
Logan and Aaron made it to the water. Logan saw that both Alicia and Audrey were halfway through the water.
"Quickly Aaron swim to the other side."
"I'm I aloud to walk across the water?" Aaron questioned.
Logan stared at him. "Walk across? If it will be faster, go ahead."
Aaron smiled. He stepped out onto the water and with his mutant power, he easily walked across.
Logan looked at Scott. "Looks like I'm going to beat you."
Scott looked at him. "No, you'll be disqualified."
"What?" Logan growled.
"I only see two people on you team. Where's your other member? In order to win you must all work together as a team." Scott said laughing.
Logan growled as his claws came out. Scott grinned.
~~~
Jean pulled Alicia out of the water. "Now each of us most destroy two dummies."
Katy nodded and shot fire at both of hers, while Jean telekinetically destroyed hers. Alicia struggled again. "I can't get my powers to work." She said.
Jean looked at her.
"It must be because you're wet." Katy said.
"You're probably right," Jean said. "Try to concentrate."
Alicia did. Electricity sparked from her. A lighting bolt shot out barley missing Katy and Jean. She shot out another this time hitting herself. She fell down to the ground.
Katy and Jean ran to her. "Are you okay?" Katy asked immediately.
Alicia nodded and stood up. "I have an idea." She walked over to the dummies and tried using her electricity. Another lightening bolt shot up, but this time hit the dummy. Alicia did the same with the other.
~~~
Scott helped Audrey out of the pool. They were now in last place. "Come on we can still win." He encouraged. They quickly ran toward the dummies. Matt destroyed both of his with his claws and so did Audrey. Scott adjusted his visor and destroyed his. "Come on." Scott yelled. They all began to run.
~~~
Aaron jumped of the water and began to run. Logan was right behind him. He had a chance to win this. Maybe he wouldn't be disqualified. He ran to the dummies and slashed them more than he needed too. Aaron jumped from the wall and ceiling down to the dummies. Logan smiled. He was learning how to use his powers quite well. Aaron had just finished, when he saw Scott and his team running toward the finish line. Aaron and Logan ran as fast as they could.
~~~
Audrey saw Aaron and Logan running fast behind them. She tried to run fast, but she was slowing her team down. She was wet and could not run or fly.
"Come on you can make it Audrey," Scott and Matt both encouraged.
Audrey tried hard, but she watched as Logan and Aaron ran past her. Scott and Matt kept running and helped Audrey past the finish line.
~~~
Jean and Katy saw everyone else running. "Come on, Alicia," Katy said, just as Alicia finished her last dummy.
"Let's go." Jean shouted.
They all ran as fast as they could, but by the time they made it, everyone else had already crossed.
"Who's the champion now," Logan said to Scott.
Scott glared at him, and was about to say something when Professor Xavier came through the doors.
"Very nicely done everyone." Professor Xavier said. "I am sorry to say; however that Logan, Aaron, and Jake have been disqualified."
Logan growled. "What? We won."
"Yes, you might have won, but you didn't win as a team. The whole point of this exercise was to work together."
Logan glared at Jake.
"I was very happy with the team work otherwise." Professor Xavier continued. "Logan and Aaron I am very proud of you. Even though Jake did not work with you, you did a great job." Turning to Jake, he asked. "Now as for you, why did you leave your teammates behind?"
Jake shrugged his shoulders. "I wasn't in this for them. I was in it for me. I whipped everybody. I'm the real winner."
Professor Xavier looked hard at him. "You're going nowhere with that attitude. The only way to succeed in this world is with teamwork. When you work as a team, you can have someone there to help you and back you up. The point of this exercise was to teach you that."
Jake rolled his eyes.
Professor Xavier faced the group again. "I hope all of you have learned something from this course. Alicia and Aaron, I am very proud of both of you. You are learning how to be able to control your mutant powers, but although things didn't always work out, you never gave up. Great job!"
Everyone watched as he left the room. As soon as he left, Logan went up to Jake. "What were you thinking?" He yelled. "We could have won."
"We could of won." Jake said sarcastically. "Who cares? I won it myself. All of you are losers."
Logan growled and his claws came out. Jean came beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Let it go, Logan."
Logan growled, but began walking out of the room.
"Better luck next time." Scott called out.
Logan looked back and was about to stick up his middle claw at Scott, but seeing Aaron beside him made him think twice. He retracted his claws and looked down at Aaron. "You did great, kid." With that, he walked off.
Everyone else began to walk off. Katy picked up an exhausted Alicia and walked beside Jean.
"Are they always like that?" Katy asked Jean.
"What?"
"Scott and Logan, are they always on each other's throats?"
Jean smiled. "Pretty much. Deep down inside, I think they really like each other, but they will never admit it."
Katy smiled. "I guess we better get home."
As they walked to the door, Ororo came up behind them. "Katy, Professor Xavier wants to speak with you. He wants you too Scott."
Katy looked at Jean and Scott. They shrugged their shoulders. "Alright." Katy said. Katy handed Alicia to Matt. "I'll be right back."
She followed Scott and Ororo down the hallway to Professor Xavier's office. Ororo knocked on the open door.
"Thank you Ororo. Please come in Katy."
Katy stepped inside followed by Scott.
"First I wanted to let you know how proud I was of both you, especially you Katy. You take great care of Alicia. Also I have something that might benefit you." Professor Xavier picked up a visor on his desk. "You have a power similar to that of Scott's. Scott always wears his sunglasses or laser will shoot from his eyes. Sometimes; however he will wear a visor like this one. It makes it easier for him to adjust his laser power. I have made one for you to make it easier for you."
Katy looked at the visor.
"Try it on." Professor Xavier said.
Katy took it from his hands, but hesitated. "I don't know. What if it doesn't work?"
Realizing why Professor Xavier had wanted him in here, Scott put a hand on her shoulder. "I am sure it will be fine. Try it."
Katy smiled. She closed her eyes and took her glasses of her face. She handed them to Scott and put the visor over her eyes. It fit nicely. Slowly she opened her eyes. When they were opened, she smiled. "Wow. This is nice."
Professor Xavier nodded. "I am glad you approve. Scott can teach you how to control you're fire power."
Katy nodded and turned to leave. Scott followed behind her. "It's really easy to control." Scott said. "All you have to do is adjust it with the knob on you're right side. If you turn it forward, your fire will shoot out. The more you turn it, the more powerful it becomes."
Katy reached up and found the knob he talked about. As her hand went to it, she accidentally turned it forward. Fire shot out and burned at the wall. Katy immediately closed her eyes and turned the knob back as far as it would go. She sighed. "That didn't work well." She opened her eyes and saw that Scott had put out the small flames with a blanket. A black spot was on the wall were the fire was. Katy looked at it and lowered her head. "I'm sorry."
Scott came up by her. "Don't worry about it. You wouldn't believe how many times I've done that. Come on, let's go catch up with your friends."
Katy smiled and followed him. Scott walked into the recreation room, but no one was there. "I wonder where they are." Katy said.
Scott shrugged. Just then, they saw Jean walk down the stairs.
"Scott, Katy," she called.
Katy and Scott turned around. "Hey, Jean. Were did my friends go?" Katy asked.
"Alicia and Aaron were really tired, so Logan offered to drive them home. Matt was going to stay and wait for you Katy, but I assured him we would get you back." Jean said.
"Oh, okay." Katy said.
"Would you like me to drive you home?" Scott offered.
Katy nodded. "Sure. See you later Jean."
"Have a good night." Jean called out. "I had a lot of fun working with you today."
"Me too." Katy said smiling. Then she followed Scott into the garage.
"We can take my car." He said as he looked around the garage. "He didn't?" Scott said after not seeing his car.
"What's wrong?" Katy asked.
"That punk took my car." Scott replied.
"Logan?"
"Yes, Logan. Out of all the cars here and he chooses mine. Ugh." Scott said angrily.
Katy tried to stifle a laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Scott said.
Katy shook her head. "Nothing." She said still laughing.
Scott smiled. "Come on we'll take my bike." He started heading for his bike against the wall. "If Logan didn't use all the gas." He added.
Katy smiled. Scott handed her a helmet and he put one on himself. He climbed up and started it. Katy climbed up behind him.
"Hold on." He said.
Katy held on to his shoulders as he sped off.
