Well, I'm back! Here's intake day. I just had to do that thing with Gaea because she's such a cutie and it makes for a nice interlude. Anyway, I figured I should show intake day at the mansion because they will hopefully be getting a new member.
Kurt: New member? You never said anything about that.
Karla: Well with Chris gone they need someone.
Kurt: *sarcastically* Who could we ever find to replace him?
Karla: I have a few ideas.
Kurt: You are not deageing anyone.
Karla: Of course not.
Kurt: No one's coming from the past or future or another universe?
Karla: Nope.
Kurt: Then where are you going to get anyone?
Karla: Runaways and stuff like that.
"Die evil mutant snowmen!" exclaimed the boy in front of us. He was in the Danger Room showing of his powers. He had the ability to shapeshift into three different things. A winged creature, a tiger/bear like monster and something small. We weren't sure what and neither was he.
"Evil mutant snowmen?" I asked. "Sugah, do y'think y'might have a bit of an over active imagination?" I asked. He was in truth taking out a bunch of white pilliars we had told him were his pretend foes.
"What ever works I guess." Cal said. She was still worried about Talia, and who wouldn't be? She wouldn't talk to anyone except Blitz and we could barely get her to eat. She was taking Brittany's death way too seriously. It had been weeks ago now. Almost a month and she was still moping.
"So did I do good?" he asked from the floor. All the pillars had been demolished and he didn't have a scratch on him.
"Wow." Cal was rarely impressed. I was likewise. This guy was a keeper.
"Well, we like you well enough. Hit the showers and then we'll talk." Tom said. He had been quiet through the whole day, but that was nothing new. He spent a lot of time thinking these days.
******************************
His name turned out to be Tobias and we called him Triad for his power. He went with Tom to get aquainted with the mansion. Cal and I were about to leave when we noticed someone was still in the Danger Room. We went over to the panel and looked down to see who it was.
Below us was Blitzkreig in full armor. He had reset the system and was doing all sorts of tricky manuveurs.
"Y'all sure you should be doing that?" I asked. He looked up and stopped midflight. A pillar just happened to land on his helmet with a crunch. He was out cold and we quickly turned of the simulation.
"We'd better get him down to the infirmary." Cal said as we lifted Blitz up. He wasn't all that heavy for what he looked like and we didn't have to strain at all to carry him.
"Must be one of those Bruce Banner style nerds. Strong on the outside, feather weight on the inside." Cal said as we lifted him onto a bed.
"What happened?" Talia asked form the door. She has a habit of appearing from nowhere.
"Blitz got a knock on the head is all. He's got a concussion and we think he might be bleeding." Cal replied.
"I'll get things from here okay?" Talia asked. She was on the verge of ordering us to get out, but we knew she hadn't slept in a long while and that meant mistakes.
"I don't think you will. You can help, but you're tired. Don't worry about him okay?" Cal attempted reason. Talia is usually reasonable.
"Well..." She trailed off. "Alright, but only because you're my friends."
I carefully slid Blitz's damaged helmet off. Underneath was-
A girl?!
Woohaha! I'm going to have so much fun with my poor readers over this!
Kat: Can I have a cookie yet?
Karla: You burned down a bedroom door. No cookies for you.
Jamie: What about me?
Karla: You're in the story.
Jamie: So? I think I should get a cookie.
Karla: Aren't you all macho and whatever?
Jamie: I can manipulate the universe. That had a big affect on my mind.
Karla: No cookies for you either.
Kurt: New member? You never said anything about that.
Karla: Well with Chris gone they need someone.
