The Newbi

In Memphis, Tennessee in a baseball field cheering could be heard as a girls' softball game went on, on deck a girl with shoulder length brown hair that had a tint of natural redness to it and she had recently gone to a salon have her blonde highlights redone, she usually had to wear glasses, but she wore contacts as much as she could. One thing was special about this southern fiery, energetic, fifteen-year-old. She was a mutant. While her powers had just manifested she didn't know this would happen, her parents did though. Alicia, this new mutant was getting along fine with her new powers.

Her power was really confusing, it seemed to her that if she looked at someone long enough she could take on a few of that person's physical traits and even saw flashbacks that were not even hers. She also found she had another ability, which was to see glances into the near future.She had considered running away, but where would she go? So she stayed and kept her 'gifts' a deep secret.(anyway back to the game.). It was finally Alicia's turn at bat. She held her bat up high and prepared to hit the ball so hard that it would be homerun. The pitcher wound up to pitch the large softball. "Spit yer gum out, hun." Said the umpire from behind Alicia. "Rahght (right)." She said and hastily spit out the wad of chewing gum out of her mouth as the ball left the pitcher's hand. Alicia was still able to get her bat back in position and gave the bat a good level swing, which sent the ball all the way to the other end of the field to the far gate. She took off from home plate and got to first then kept running from base to base and made it back home plate before any of the players from the other team could try and get Alicia out. "HOME RUN!" she declaired as she trotted back to the dugout.

" Great job, Alicia." Said Kelsy, one of Alicia's friends and teammates congratulated her pal with a pat on the back. "That home run just put us in the lead." Declared another teammate, Tina. The score was 27- The Storm, 32- The Blaze. The young fifteen- year- old Alicia's team was The Blaze. The game finally finished with the score not changing. The Blazers all jumped up from the bench in the dug out and cheered as the game ended. The winning team had a little meeting about when the next practice would be and all that. As the girls walked away Alicia stared into a teammate's, Cathrine's eyes as she congratulated. Alicia's father had always taught her to look someone in the eye when you were talking to someone, but the stare lasted to long for both girls began to feel just about sick as Alicia started draining Catherine's energy. When all was done Catherine fell to the ground out cold. Tears came to the other girl's eyes as she saw her best friend spasaming on the ground. The physical trait Alicia had picked up was Catherine's baby blue eyes where normally Alicia's eyes were a darkish green color.

"What did you do to my daughter, you b----." Bellowed a heavyset man with dirty blonde hair and a furious look in his brown eyes. "Ah donno." Alicia's answer was barley audible. "What?" asked the man calming down. "Ah said Ah donno sir Ah was congratulain' her and she passed out." She repeated and lied through her teeth. She knew what she had done, but she didn't mean to. Alicia bent down to try and wake her friend up, the girl came to. "Get away from me you jinx. YOU FREAK!" the girl bellowed. Tears came down freely from Alicia's eyes , she hastily picked up her bat bag and water bottle and headed out to the parking lot and got into the Toyota pick-up she had come in. She had her driver's permit, the only thing she needed was a licensed driver which coming home from the game would be her twenty-year-old sister. "Sis, what was that out there?" asked Katie, the older sister with deep concern. "My powers." Alicia replied knowing Katie would under stand. See Katie also had her own powers, which was being a telepath and she too could see glazes into the future.

"Oh, say no more. Hey, had you rather me driver." "Aliraht (alright)." And Alicia slid over to the passanger side and let Katie get in the driver seat. "We have to get out of this town, Katie. It's only a matter o' time before my new secret gets out and I've seen what they do to some mutants and Ah'm just scared."said Alicia while shivering at the thought of being experimented on and God knows what else could happen to an exposed mutant. "I agree, but our family can't just pick up an' leave jus' lahke that." Replied her sister as she snapped her finger to emphasize her meaning. "Ah'm jus' no ready to be treated lahke a freak." "Mom an'Dad , Ah think are tryin' to fahnd someplace to go, but they wont let me help."said Katie "Please don't tell mom er dad what happened and if anyone calls pick up and hang up." "Deal." And the girls did a pinky promise. What the sisters didn't know was that Cerebro had sensed the incident at the ballpark and Scott, Rogue, Kurt, and Remy were going to recruit this new mutant.

I know this chapter is long ad boring, and the story line is still going slow, but it will get better.
