A/N: I am posting this one kinda fast. I hope to post the next one soon after this so I can get this story finished. This chapter is a bit sad and I didn't really mean for it to be. It gets better at the end though. Oh just to let you know. In the last chapter, I had the school in Professor Xavier's school. Most of this story is based from the cartoon except for that fact. In the X-men movie Professor Xavier's students stay at his place to do school. In the cartoon, they go to Bayville High. I liked the fact that they went to Professor Xavier's school because it made more sense so I started that with my first story. I have continued that in this sequel. Okay, please read and review.
Chapter 7
Another Stormy Night
Later that night, Katy lay in bed starring at the ceiling. She could not sleep again so she finally got up and decided to check on Alicia. She silently opened the door to Alicia's room. Her two companions slept soundly, but Alicia was not in her bed. Katy quickly scanned the room with her eyes. Her gaze fell on the window. Outside Alicia sat by the fountain staring into the water.
Katy turned and ran outside. Clouds were forming in the sky. Rain would be coming soon.
"What are you doing out here, Alicia?" Katy asked as she sat down by the young girl.
"I want to be alone." Alicia mumbled.
"Well, why don't you come inside." Katy said gently.
Alicia didn't respond.
"You want to talk about it?" Katy asked.
"It's your fault." Alicia mumbled.
"What?" Katy asked not believing what she thought she heard.
Alicia stood. "Megan and the Professor are dead because of you." Alicia accused. "You should have protected Megan, but you didn't. Now she's dead."
"Alicia calm down!" Katy said as she tried to place a hand on her shoulder.
"No. It's your fault. The Professor saved your life. He should still be alive. But he's not. It's your fault. All yours." Alicia screamed as tears rolled down her face. "Alicia, that's enough." Katy said firmly, trying not to let Alicia words bother her.
"I hate you!" Alicia screamed just as it began to downpour.
Katy could not believe it. She cringed in pain as the rain fell on her body and quickly rushed inside.
"Alicia get inside, now!" Katy commanded.
Alicia ignored her. Suddenly a bolt of electricity was attracted to her. It shot down at her body.
"Alicia!" Katy screamed. "Someone Help!" Katy yelled as she glanced
behind her.
Alicia screamed as the electricity passed through her body sending waves of pain spiraling through her.
Scott, Joanne, and Logan came running. Other students quickly followed. Logan and Scott ran outside as they saw Alicia. Logan cringed in pain, but managed to get Alicia separated from the powerful electricity bolt. He rushed her inside.
Katy breathed a silent sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?" Joanne asked.
Katy nodded. "Go check up on Alicia." Katy said as she motioned toward Logan who was caring her to the medical room.
Joanne nodded and quickly followed.
Katy fell down to her knees. She knew she had to be strong, but Alicia's words rang in her mind.
"Katy?" came Scott's gentle voice. He knelt down by her. "Are you alright?"
"She said she hated me." Katy said.
"Alicia?" Scott asked.
Katy nodded. "She said it was my fault Megan and the professor died."
"She's just upset Katy. She didn't mean it." Scott comforted.
When Katy didn't respond, Scott gently placed his arm around her shoulders. "It wasn't your fault."
Katy tried to hold back tears, but cringed as one fell down her face. She quickly wiped it away, but another soon replaced it.
"Alicia will make it through this. Just give her time." Scott continued to comfort.
Katy nodded. She knew he was right, yet the words still hurt. Silently she aloud Scott to hold her just a while longer.
*~*~*
Matt awoke and quickly rushed out of his room. He was a heavy sleeper. He thought he had heard someone scream, but he hadn't gotten up. Suddenly however, he became wide-awake. He rushed down the hallway, but stopped as he got to the stairs. He saw Katy sitting on the ground with Scott's arm around her. Thoughts of jealousy poured through him. He became angry with Scott, but quickly pushed his thoughts aside. He rushed down the stairs.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Matt quickly asked.
Katy looked up and slowly stood to her feet. "Alicia got hit by lighting. It was attracted to her body."
"Is she okay?" Matt asked worried.
"She's in the medical room now." Scott said as he stood.
Matt looked over at Scott then looked back at Katy. "Are you okay?" He asked her.
Katy nodded. "I'll be fine. Go check on Alicia." With that, she walked off toward her bedroom.
Matt waited until she was out of sight, before he said, "What was that about?"
"Alicia was upset. She accused Katy of killing Megan and Professor James. She said she hated Katy for it." Scott replied.
"Poor Katy. Is she alright?" Matt said.
"She needed you." Scott said.
"I didn't hear okay," Matt said almost angrily
Scott put up his hands. "Okay," he said as he backed off. He headed toward the medical room to see if the girl was okay and to find Jean.
Matt sighed and headed up to Katy's bedroom to talk with her. He knocked silently on the door and waited until he heard Katy's reply.
"Come in," she said.
"Are you okay Katy?" Matt asked as he opened the door.
Katy nodded.
"Scott told me what happened. I am sorry I didn't wake up sooner. I was out like a light." Matt apologized.
Katy smiled at him. "It's okay. Is Alicia alright?"
"Come on. Let's go check on her. I'm sure she can't wait to see you." Matt said.
Katy nodded and followed him.
*~*~*
"Good Joshua." Magneto encouraged as Joshua began controlling metal around the room. "Now focus on gaining Mystique's power as well."
Joshua looked toward Mystique. He reached his hand out towards her. In a couple seconds, he felt her power inside his body. He smiled as he transformed himself into a bird. Looking toward the scraps of metal, he easily lifted a few pieces into the air.
Mystique stood amazed.
Magneto smiled. "Excellent work."
Joshua transformed himself back and smiled. "I just wish it didn't take so much out of me. I feel like I've run a marathon." Joshua said.
"That is because you have never had so much control over your power. Soon; however, using multiple powers will be your specialty." Magneto said with a smile.
*~*~*
As Katy entered the medical, she saw Alicia lying on one of the beds. Professor Xavier, Logan, and Joanne were still in the room.
"How is she?" Katy asked Professor Xavier.
"Because of her mutation, the electricity was attracted to her body. Had it been anyone else, they would not have made it. Alicia's body; however absorbed most of the electricity. No lasting damage has been caused physically and she should be fine by tomorrow."
"Can I talk with her?" Katy asked.
Professor Xavier nodded.
Katy walked over to the bed. "Alicia," she said gently.
Alicia did not respond, but her eyes were open and staring at the ceiling. Katy sighed.
"Poor kid! She's been through a lot." Logan said.
Katy nodded.
"Maybe we should let her rest." Matt said gently as Joanne and Logan turned to leave.
Katy agreed and turned to leave as well.
"Katy," Alicia mumbled.
Katy turned around. Alicia blue eyes met hers. "I don't hate you." Alicia whispered innocently.
Katy smiled as she walked toward Alicia. "I know that. You were just upset."
Alicia nodded sadly. "Will the pain ever go away?" Alicia asked.
"You mean about loosing a friend?" Katy asked.
Alicia nodded.
Katy gently sat down by Alicia. Katy slowly shook her head. "I don't think the pain will ever fully go away. You will always miss Megan and Professor James. All of us will, but time is a great healer. In time, the pain will decrease."
Alicia looked at Katy with teary eyes. She silently looked toward the wall as a tear fell down her face. Katy gently pushed Alicia hair behind her head.
"Get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day." Katy said gently. "Would you like me to stay with you until you fall asleep?"
Alicia shook her head. "It's okay. It's probably almost morning anyway."
"Alright," Katy said as she gently kissed Alicia on the forehead. "Sleep well."
