CHAPTER 3
The Academy students had been staying at the institute for nearly two weeks when Blaize ran into Remy, literally. She had been late for a danger room session and as she flew down the stairs she collided with something very solid.
She looked up, expecting to see Sean waiting to admonish her but she found herself staring into a pair of shades and a charming grin.
"Late f' somet'in', p'tite?"
Blaize recovered herself quickly. "Yeah, I'm supposed t' be in the danger room ten minutes ago." She stepped around Remy. "Haven't you got someone else t' bug?"
Before Remy could answer Blaize ran down the corridor and into the elevator which had just arrived bearing Sean.
Remy stared after her not quite sure what to make of the young girl that he had met only once, but who seemed very familiar.

Emma watched the current danger room session through the large viewing window, the students were reacting well to Sean's orders but there was definitely still some tension between the students themselves.
Blaize stood apart from the other students watching everything around her but saying nothing. Emma watched Paige approach Blaize and say something to which Blaize shook her head and Paige returned to the larger group, her usually perky expression somewhat dulled.
Finally Emma pressed a button on the control panel and her voice was broadcast to the danger room.
"Blaize please come up to the control booth."
As Blaize left the danger room she noticed the smirks on the faces of the other students, most of them obviously thought that she was in trouble. As the doors slid shut behind her Blaize made herself take a moment to calm down before facing Emma, the psychic did not need to know the extent of her anger towards her so-called teammates.
Emma waited patiently until the doors opened revealing Blaize; the teenager although she had obviously tried to calm down could not contain the anger that she was radiating.
"I thought that maybe we could have a chat while Sean puts the others through their paces again." Emma paused and, with a small smile on her face continued. "You obviously don't need as much time learning to control your powers, although you do need to improve on following orders and not just doing as you please."
Blaize stared at Emma for a moment before allowing the corners of her lips to lift slightly in the semblance of a smile.
"I learnt quite early on in life to control my powers, I developed them at an earlier age than most of them down there. Besides, the way I live you have to have control over everything otherwise you get caught or die."
Emma nodded as she reached over and touched another button, the viewing screen went dark and Emma turned her full attention to Blaize.
"Now, first of all I want to know how you are settling in with the other students."
Blaize sighed and leant against the wall, her arms folded over her chest and her legs crossed at the ankles.
"Basically Paige is about the only one that likes me. Kurt and Arley have made it perfectly clear that they don't like me and the others feel the same although they don't go to quite the same lengths to show it." She pursed her lips as she thought about how to word her next thought. "I guess it's because I came from the streets, I'm a constant reminder of things that they have no control over."
"I'm sure it's not that exactly." Emma started.
"Oh please," Blaize interrupted, trying extremely hard to control the anger that was threatening to overwhelm her. "The X-Men are the same except most of them pity me. I'm still a constant reminder that even if they do solve this problem with intolerance toward our kind, there are kids that will still live on the streets for whatever reasons. I remind them that they can't solve every problem in the world, no matter how hard they want to."
As Emma digested what Blaize had just said, Sean called to her over their comm badges.
"Emm, we're done here. I'm gonna take the kids outside fuir some fresh air and to relax. Are you an' Blaize gonna meet us there?"
Emma looked at Blaize, who shook her head. "I'm just gonna hang inside for a while. Things have been bad enough this morning."
Emma sighed but had no choice other than to agree, from what she had witnessed the other students were having a hard time accepting Blaize.
"Well, if you need either me or Sean we will be outside."
"Sure."
Blaize watched until Emma had left the room before making her way slowly to the danger room, she opened the doors and walked inside waiting for the doors to shut behind her before unleashing everything that she had been holding back.
The fireball flew across the room growing with each passing second, only when the room was engulfed and Blaize could feel the heat almost singing her eyelashes did she call the element back.
Author's note - OK, I know it's kinda drawn out at the mo, but please believe me it's gonna get better.and yes Blaize's secret is gonna be revealed in this story I promise!!! I just don't know how long it's gonna take to get there. lol. (
