Remember: I do not own anybody corresponding with the X-Men. I own Madison though, she is from my mind.
I sighed and waved goodbye to my house, my old life, and my parents who don't give a shit. "You okay half pint?" the large man asked. "My name is Madison. Not half pint, thank you very much." He chuckled, "Sorry, I call all the girls that. They're all so small. I think it's their diets," he said with another chuckle. "What's your name then?" I said. "Logan. Mr. Logan to all of the students. My alias is Wolverine."
"Madison? Madison are you awake?" Logan's voice called from up front. "I am now."
"Ok. Then welcome to mutant manor." I stared out the front window and saw a huge mansion set inside a large fence. "This is where you all live? This huge house? All yours?" The professor chuckled and looked back at me. "Yes. This is where we all live. We all study our powers here too. We have labs and battle simulator rooms. We also have a pool, library, rec room, and tennis courts. I think it's pretty hard to be bored around here." Logan then chuckled. They chuckle too much. "With all of these new recruits, it's hard to ever be bored. They're troublemakers."
After my things were taken into the house by Logan, he led me out to the backyard. He wanted to introduce me the other students. "Come on, you look lonely. You could use a friend."
"I'm perfectly content without a friend. I've made it up until now." He looked at me with sad eyes. I followed him further. Outside, there were a bunch of younger students probably 13-14, running around being happy. Happy, I can never be happy…
A group of boys stopped when they saw me. I crossed my arms and looked around, ignoring them. They all whispered and stood there staring. "Do you have a staring problem?" I asked annoyed. Nobody answered. I looked at a boy with blue and orange locks of hair near his face and smiled. He blushed and grinned. I put on a serious face and said, "Your hair is on fire."
He crossed his eyes, trying to look up, while sniffing the air. Another boy shot some ice at him and it froze over. I turned, this was freaky, "Logan, can you show me to my room?" I headed back to the house.
Inside, he led me up a flight of stairs and down a hall way and then into and elevator. "Sleeping quarters," he said firmly and clearly. We whooshed up a level, then abruptly stopped. I followed him down another hallway until we reached a room at the end of the hall. "You will be bunking with Jubilee," he said, grinning. I opened the door and groaned. "Are you trying to torture me?" I grumbled. The room was entirely pink. Great, a princess theme room. Just toss a goth in and watch her deteriorate. I sighed, at least the house was nice…
I quickly made a mark on Jubilee's room. I grunged it up a bit. I tossed my clothes all over my dresser and armchair, then cluttered the center table with papers of dark and depressing poems and pictures. I mussed up my bed and threw the curtains closed. I'm not that used to the light. I decided to take a walk through the mansion, and get to know the place. Before I could go anywhere, a woman called to me from down the hall. "Madison! Hey, It's nice to meet you!" she called from down the hall. I stood there gawking, she hadn't met me yet. I walked toward her, and she toward me. "Hello, my name is Ororo. Most people though, call me Storm. I control the weather." I shook her outstretched hand as she smiled at me. "Well you already know my name. My power-"
"Storm, please bring Madison to the library to meet the other students," the professor's voice rang from out of nowhere. "What was that? Where'd it come from?"
She smiled and led me down the hall, "You'll get used to that eventually." Back to the elevator we went. "Library and Classrooms." We whooshed up a bit and abruptly stopped again. "Come on, you get to meet everybody now."
"Everybody, this is Madison Cramer. She will be living with us from now on," the professor explained to a very diverse group of students. They look like they ranged from ages 13-18. I could put up with them I guess. "Hello, my name is Jean Grey," said an older red haired girl. I smiled a small smile and looked at the next person in line. "Scott," said another older student in ruby tinted shades. We went down the line and finally stopped at the "Terrible Three," as Logan called them. Bobby, Ray, and Jamie. Jamie was a cutie. He looked as if he was the youngest of all of these guys. "Yeah, we all met out in the backyard. I saved Ray from a bad hair life. This guy iced it over. I guess that's his power huh?" I watched him shake his head as Ray blushed. "Like what's your power Madison?" the valley girl asked. "I, uh, have two powers," I said quietly. The others looked shocked. I guess this is unusual then. "What are zey zen?" asked the German guy. Kurt I guess. "Well one is like Kurt's but I don't look like he does. The other is-well I can make hexes. They are really powerful and destructive. I'm really acrobatic too. Like Kurt. But the hexes are how everybody found out what I was. I accidentally blew up our garage," I said ashamed.
"Ok everybody, let's make Madison feel at home," I heard from the hallway as I headed to my room, "give her the mutant welcome." Some snickers followed that. I guess it can't be a good thing then. I slammed the door to my room and Jubilee shrieked. "Sorry," I mumbled. "Um, do you mind if I move some of your papers? I have homework to do yet." I nodded and moved my papers for her. "Oh Madison…we have something to show you! Come out to the hallway! We only show cool people." 'Yeah sure,' I thought.
I decided to go anyway. So, out in the hallway, I walked slowly towards the turn. As I reached the corner, I slipped, and went flying down the hallway. Bobby had iced the floor! Damn them! Kurt ported in front of me and grabbed me. "Let go you freak!" I called, trying to free myself. He had ported me to over the pool. He dropped me.
I looked up from the water and saw everybody, everybody laughing at me. All of the students anyway. I sighed and swan towards the edge, then hoisted myself out of the pool. As I did, I slipped and fell back in again. "BOBBY!!!" I was so pissed and humiliated! "Yeah go ahead and laugh! Come on! I'm used to it! It doesn't hurt anymore!" Some of them stopped, others kept on. "You know, I came here to get away from humiliation. I guess everybody is the same huh? Well, I guess I should have stopped myself when I was happy to get away from my horrible life back there! I should have stopped hoping! I should have stopped having dreams…."
Ok that's all I can come up with now. Hope you enjoy! Review please!!! Thanx!!!
