Savanna stood with Bobby and Amara in the center of what they called the
Danger Room dressed in a form fitted black body suit that covered her from
neck to foot. Yellow boots and gloves covered her feet and hands and a
yellow belt with a large 'X' in the middle was latched around waist.
It was a day later, and the new girl had been dragged out of bed at 6:00 in the morning to go to a 'session' as Amara had called it. Now she was standing with the other two, tired and shaking with cold.
"So what are we doing in this place again?" The New Yorker asked.
"The Professor wants to see how advanced your powers are, so he's having us run this session with you since all of out powers are elementally based." Amara explained.
"Sure." Savanna drawled. "And what am I going to be doing?"
"Trying not to get yourself killed." Bobby answered with a grin.
"Well THAT'S comforting." Savanna muttered just as Miss Munroe's voice came over the loud speaker.
"Good morning Children." She greeted. "Savanna- welcome to the Danger Room. Your objective- last more than 5 minutes without injuring yourself. Magma and Iceman are only there for incase things get. dangerous. Good luck Hydra."
"Simulation will begin in 5.4."
"I'm dead." Savanna whimpered.
"3.2.1. Welcome to your worst nightmare." Rogue's voice cackled.
"Oh REAL cute Rogue!" Savanna cried just as the walls opened up and shot put balls, circular saw blades and other nasty things were blasted out of them. "Shit!" Savanna cried, flinging herself to the floor to avoid getting her head chopped off. "This is SO NOT funny!" She yelled as she jumped to her feet.
"She has a lot of energy." Bobby commented, icing a shot put ball in mid air before it had a chance to connect to his head.
"She's loud." Amara stated, wrinkling her nose as another shriek sounded from the newest student.
"That's it! This means WAR!" Savanna hissed and fired a 'water bullet' at a speeding circular saw blade, sending it off its path and into the wall where it stuck.
"Ha! Take that!" She exclaimed just as a shot put ball flew by her head.
"Pay attention!" Bobby yelled.
Savanna made a face and caught the same ball as it came back for another round. "Are we done yet?" She asked, while she shot another blade out of the air."
"NO!" Came three simultaneous replies.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~
"I really dislike that Danger Room." Savanna stated as she searched the cupboards for a source of sugar.
Her partners in crime who were spread out around the kitchen shook their heads.
"Yes we know 'Vanna. You've been stating that for the last 3 hours since you got out of your shower." Roberto countered.
"But it's true! I mean, having sharp and heavy objects aimed at your head is not fun. Don't you guys have ANY sweets around here?"
Before Roberto, Bobby or Sam could answer Rogue walked into the kitchen, obviously fresh from a session and sporting new bruises. "Professor wants to see is in the rec room, NOW." She stated then took off again.
The four jumped off their counters and followed her out.
They walked into the rec room to see everybody else already there, and a girl they didn't recognize up at the front.
Bobby let out a low whistle. "She's HOT."
"Looks like a preppy brat to me." Savanna muttered. [1]
"Savanna, could you come up here please?" The professor asked.
"Sure thing Prof."
"Students." The Professor regarded the mutants congregated before him. From Scott who he had known for 8 years to the recently converted Piotr Rasputin and Remy LeBeau. [2] "As some of you may already know, there are going to be some new students arriving before the new school year starts. Before you, you have two of the newest recruits. Savanna Crooks arrived yesterday afternoon from New York City. She has the ability to manipulate water and water molecules. I believe she can also make what she calls 'water bullets.'"
"Can I give a demonstration Professor? PlEEEAse can I give a demonstration!?" The teen begged.
"Very well." The Professor said with a small smile.
Savanna looked around for something that no one would care if it got broken. The Professor handed her a water bottle.
Nodding her thanks, she placed the bottle on top of the table. "Um." She began warily, eyeing the students around the table. "You may want to move away. My aim sucks."
Bobby chuckled while his classmates made haste to get away from the bottle.
Savanna stood about 5 feet away from the bottle, arm raised, index finger extended. Suddenly a small bullet seemed to erupt from the teen's fingertip, hitting the bottle on the top and sending it flying into Kurt's head. "Sorry!" she exclaimed, wincing.
Kurt just waved it off. "No problem."
Throughout the whole introduction and demonstration the new girl had been silent.
Professor Xavier gestured to Savanna to sit down, and he turn so her was half facing the new student, half facing the rest of the students.
"Last but not least is Allesandre Mannus, she arrived just a short while ago."
"Ciao." Allesandre said quietly.
"Why did you say goodbye to us?" Jubilee asked. "Planning on going home already? Man I told you, you scare people!" She exclaimed turning to Remy.
Allesandre smiled slightly. "Ciao also means hello. Sort of like the Hawaiian word Aloha. It means both hello and goodbye."
"As you may have guessed from her accent, Allesandre is an Italian native." The Professor added.
"So what's your gift?" Tabitha asked.
"I am telekinetic." She looked at the Professor for approval on her pronunciation, at his nod she continued. "I am telekinetic and empathic."
"Is it hard feeling other people's emotions?" Kitty questioned politely.
Allesandre nodded vigorously. "Think of it as feeling every emotion possible all at the same time. Like right now I feel jealousy, awe, indifference, pity, even. er. I'll leave that one out." She said blushing. "However none of those emotions are mine."
"Savanna. please take Allesandre up to your room. She will be staying there. B students, I believe you have a session with Mr. McCoy out on the grounds. The rest of you are left to your own devices. Please don't get arrested."
That said the congregation disbanded, Allesandre practically running to keep up with Savanna.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~
"This is our room." The black haired New Yorker muttered, throwing the door open.
"It is very large." Allesandre commented, making her way over to her bags and suitcases, which had already been brought up.
"What part of New York are you from Savanna?" The Italian girl asked, attempting to make a stab at conversation.
"The slums." Savanna muttered shortly from her perch on the top bunk of one of the two bunk beds in the room. "You?"
"A small town just outside Venice. Very beautiful area. I was originally from Florence, but I had to move."
"I see, so I assume you're from a well to do family?"
Allesandre's smile dropped a notch. "My parents were quite wealthy, and when they died they left me the money. However I cannot touch it until I'm 18."
Great. Savanna thought sarcastically. Rich and beautiful. Just what we need.
"You do not like me." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. However when Savanna didn't answer her, she continued to try to get to know the other teen.
"Do you have any siblings?"
"I had a brother. He was killed, same with my dad."
"How did they die?" She asked, feeling pain wafting off of Savanna.
"My brother was killed in a gang fight, and my dad was shot in a drive by shooting." Savanna snapped.
"Oh." Was all Allesandre could say. "My parents and baby sister were murdered as well."
Savanna snorted. "Do tell."
"They were killed in a fire while I was at a friends house. It was a suspected. arson. is that the right word?" At Savanna's nod she continued. "I was 5 when it happened. All that I have left is what I had taken with me to my friends house and this." Allesandre pulled out a black leather bomber jacket and showed it to Savanna. "Ma Madre [3] left it at my aunts house the weekend before."
"That's too bad. At least I still have my mom. for the amount I see her." Savanna muttered glumly.
"You and your Madre do not get along?"
"Stop trying to pry into my life!" Savanna yelled suddenly, startling the Italian girl.
"I'm sorry." Allesandre apologized. "I did not mean to offend you. I was just hoping we could be friends."
Savanna snorted, jumped off her bunk and mad her way to the door. "It ain't gonna happen." That said she turned on her heal and left the room.
[1] My apologies to any preps reading this, just the way she is. Sorry.
[2] Will be explained later, they're not just there
[3] Mother in Italian. The foreign characters will use their native languages for some things, the translations will be down here. If I made a mistake on anything e-mail me and tell me, but no flames!
