I Own Nothing! (Except Ivy!) Don't sue me!
Chapter 3 or 4.… somewhere around there……………
Breakfast and Complements to Authors
The next morning, Ivy awoke with a slight start. She was still in Xavier's study. Oops! Good thing he hadn't noticed. She had went there last night when in search of a Latin dictionary. Bobby Drake had told her it was in there. And she had intended to use it and leave, but she had found it so quiet and out of the way that it was ideal to finish her paper there. And she had it almost finished. Except for this one line, which she quickly completed and stuffed it in her backpack. She was careful to put everything back where it was when she entered the room.
"Good morning." She ran smack into Xavier as she closed the door.
"Just borrowing your Latin dictionary." Ivy said, trying to figure out if he knew she had been there all night.
"Yes. Did you get your paper finished?" He asked.
"Listen, I'm sorry, okay!" She said, even though she didn't sound particularly sorry. "I didn't mean to fall asleep, but these things happen!"
"Of course. However in the future try to choose better places to rest." He smiled kindly, "The first session is almost over, so you might want to eat breakfast, then head for the back yard, where everyone is getting their first introduction from Dr. McCoy."
"Thank you." Ivy said as she headed to the breakfast hall. She wasn't interested at all, but she knew it was required. And it was.
*********************************************************************************
"As this is the first day of the latest term, I think that a introduction from each of the newest members of the school is in order." Dr. Henry McCoy announced as all of the new students arrived in the back yard of the mansion after school was finished. Everyone groaned at his announcement, but it just made him smile. "Everyone, tell us a little bit about yourself."
Ivy looked around. This might take all day. There were several new students, arriving since late last night, and they didn't look very well rested, although some looked more violent than others about the whole thing. They were already standing in a circle and Ivy was standing right by him, dreading that he would start on her side. The girl on the other side of Dr. McCoy looked just as worried and more when he turned to her.
"Please be the first and then we will move around the circle counter-clockwise." He told her. She nodded and started to speak quietly. Dr. McCoy finally had to say something, "Miss Moon, please raise your voice for those of us who are hard of hearing." She smiled and began speaking louder, but still not in a confident voice.
"My name is Shade Moon, but you can call me Blizzard. I'm twelve years old and I'm from Virginia." The girl said. Ivy thought that the snowflake earrings suited her very well with a name like Blizzard. She should get along with that guy named "Iceman". "Oh, and my mutant powers are that I can turn into any animal. I have someone also called Blizzard to thank for my existence. That is why my codename is such."
"The name's Sara Giles, and my codename is Cheetah. I'm from Maine. I'm fourteen years old." The girl next to her said in a distrusting voice. Ivy had no idea what to think about the skinny girl that looked like she had never eaten in her life. "I can run forty mph and fire energy beams from my hands. I have Meghan Heath to thank for my existence."
"My name is Akita Roshlovrn. Another name is Darque foe me. My age is fifteen. My home is Russia." The dark haired girl said through a very thick Russian accent. "I control the shadows and owe my existence to Liza Akita."
"Her name is Mei-li Chen. Her codename is Wolf Child. She is fifteen years old and from China." Dr. McCoy said as the black haired girl next to Akita started signing, "She is deaf, but she can read lips and sign very well. She can heal incredibly quickly and has claws. Just think of Wolverine. Her creator is Rogue 102." The girl stopped signing and looked at the boy next to her.
"I am Wyatt William Everett. Wyoming's my home and I'm sixteen. My codename is Outlet, and I can transfer energy from one thing to another. I was created by Aceswild. And I'm really hot." Said the boy with Chestnut hair.
"Glain Amity Melfay, but call me Dryad. I can talk to animals and change into them too! I'm sixteen years old. I was born in America, but we moved around a lot for a while." The next girl said, "I was made by Amanda Ferguson. We have to give these people the credit, you know."
"My name is Xanaphia Cade. My mutant name is Rayven and I'm sixteen as well." The gothic girl stopped there, and only started again because Beast pressured her, "I can make people do what I tell them to and use shadows for transporting myself. I owe my existence to Colleen Cotter." She stopped and didn't look very happy as the next person started speaking.
"I'm Sabe Newbarrie, and Elemental is my other name. I'm sixteen years old and from Paris. I can manipulate the elements. And I have a debt to Neko Yasha for making me up." Said the girl with chrome hair and eyes. She had a slight French accent, but it made her voice sound really cool.
"Kaylin 'The Flame' Delfugego!" The next girl said dramatically, like a sports announcer, "Sixteen years of age and from the great state of Florida! Fire is my life! I hope that this school is as fun as I think it's going to be, with all you and your powers! Oh, and Kumiko *Kaylin* Eharu is the coolest! 'Cause she made me!"
"My name's Missy Jones. My codename is DarkClaw. I'm sixteen. I started out in Romania, but I moved around Europe a lot, but I've been in America for two years. You can tell by my accent, right?" The girl with red hair styled in spikes said with a smile, "Missy made me, and I can do this!" the girl suddenly had black cat fur and a tail, "I also have slight telepathic abilities!"
Unfortunately, this got a couple of the other people riled up enough to show off their mutant powers. Mainly Outlet, but there was total chaos for several minutes until Beast finally regained control of the situation and they continued with the introductions.
"My name is Umi Mikasuki and my codename is Mizu, which means 'water' in Japanese, which is also where I am from and what I can do; control water. I am sixteen years old. Shaela created me."
"My name is Charlie Dusk and my codename is Tender." The next boy said. It was then that Ivy noticed that this class was made up mainly of girls. How odd that there would only be a few boys in this huge group of girls. They were outnumbered eight to one or so. They should feel happy about it. "I can make people feel what I'm feeling. I'm sixteen and Zoken made Edith and me."
"I'm Edith Sloan." Said the girl by him, as if on cue, "My name is Take and I can teleport inanimate objects. I'm also sixteen. And we're both from the U.S."
"My name is Lucas McDouglas and Paladin is my codename. Corro Sadman made me. I'm seventeen years old and I'm from Northern Ireland. My power is super-strength. I can also heal minor wounds." Said the next guy. He was a really tall guy and it impressed Ivy. He looked like he should have come off of "wrestle-mania" as well. And he had a cool accent.
"I am Carley Conner, and my name and powers are the same; Healer. I'm from Indianapolis and happen to be seventeen years old. Eilatan created me." The next girl said with a kind smile.
"I'm Terra Best, and my codename is Disaster, which pretty well describes my powers. I can blow things up by pointing at them. I'm seventeen and from the U.S." The tall girl said quietly. She looked as tall as Storm any day of the week. "Fluff Writer made me for this story."
"My name is Kasumi Yamura. I don't have a code name, but I'm seventeen years old and from Japan. I can turn into mist and change the direction of the wind if I need to." Said the next girl, also quietly, "General Pepper brought me here."
"My name's Jean-luc Zyphyil." Said the boy next, with a French accent. His hands caught Ivy's attention, in that they were long and really spindly, but other than that, he looked fairly normal. "I was born in Paris" at which he smiled at Elemental, "and I'm seventeen. My codename is Root and I can control plants. The person named Surfer Tsunamiya created me."
"Sandra Reama is my name and fire is my life too! We have to talk later, Flame!" She waved at Kaylin, "And I'm seventeen. I'm from the US. And Yugi-is-little-bro made me."
"My name's Natalie or Memory, whatever you want to call me. I'm eighteen years old and from Europe. I can control time. Kind of. Hrefna made me." the Brunette next to Sandra said.
"My name is Alexia Skye, aka Electra. Of course, that means I can mess with electricity. I'm eighteen, from Colorado and Jade is my creator." The punky girl said.
"Isn't that interesting? My name is Jayde O'Neal. I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland, so maybe we should get together for lunch some time, Paladin, and talk about home?" She said in a flirtatious manner. He smiled, politely, but didn't say anything as she continued. "I'm nineteen and am a shape shifter. Lady Jade Une made me."
""My name is Victor Blade. Called Razor. My power speaks for itself." He raised his hands to show that they were made of sharp diamonds. "I'm twenty, from the U.S.A. and Cain Marko aka Juggernaut made me to be who I am."
"The name is Sondra Hawkins, codenamed Hora. I'm sixteen and from the U.S. I can manipulate time. Kelsey Johnson is my creator." The next girl said in an "I'm-just-doing-it-'cause-I-have-to" manner.
"Although I am not exactly a student, I suppose I should introduce myself." A woman with dark red hair said, "My name is Miriam Paul, and my codename is Cloaked. I am thirty-two years old. I'm actually from this area and my powers allow my skin to reflect the surroundings, so that I look invisible. I'm the swimming teacher at Bayville High, if you didn't already guess that. The Name Changer made me."
"Are you married?" Jean-luc asked, with a smile, showing that while he wasn't entirely serious, he still wanted to know. Everyone laughed, including Miriam, then she shook her head and winked at him.
"I'm Starrie Nightshade! You can call me Sea Blob!" She said, laughing hysterically for a moment, which made Ivy wonder if she was insane. "Oh! And I'm a shape shifter! Or something like that, anyways! I'm fifteen and I washed up on the shore of Florida, but we live in Connecticut! Yvintia made me! Yay!"
After a few moments of silence, the guy next to Starrie continued, "My name is Paul Stanley Starr!" He said with a great air of drama, "I can fire purple lasers from this eye," He pointed to his right eye that seemed to have a purple birthmark in the shape of a star over it, "and sometimes I can hypnotize people." He waved his hands like a magician, "and… what else do you want to know?"
"Your age, codename, and where you're from." Beast said, as though he was getting tired.
"Ah! I'm from Los Angeles. Fitting, isn't it? My codename is Starchild, which also suits me very well." He took a minute to wink at every girl, then continued, "And I'm sixteen. Oh yeah, and L170E deserves the credit for making a guy like me."
"I'm Ivy Green, no codename, but if you call me the Green Giant's girlfriend, that'd be okay." She waited for the snickers that came to her relief. She couldn't handle a crowd that didn't at least smile at her jokes. "I'm sixteen and originally from Chicago. Unlike my appearance suggests, my power has to do with sound. I have a…manipulative voice, I suppose."
Just as she was finishing, there was an alarm and they were suddenly in the midst of the Brotherhood, whom Ivy had met earlier.
"We think that our new members deserve to be introduced too." Lance said, standing as though he was the greatest thing on the planet.
"I think that would be a good idea." Professor Xavier said coming out of nowhere, "Please go ahead."
"Lark, you first." Pietro commanded a girl with dark brown hair.
"Okay." She said quietly, "My name is Lark Stephens, but my codename is Splash. I'm from Atlanta and fifteen years old. I can shoot water blasts out of my palms and can melt or evaporate if I want to. And Faereyes brought me into this world."
"My name is John Jackson." The only new boy in the Brotherhood's crowd said with an arrogant tone to his voice that said that he wouldn't be bossed around. "I'm called Thunder Bolt!" At this he lightly zapped everyone in the crowd at this, "And I control Electricity. I'm sixteen years old, from Asia, and Jkun is my creator."
"Terry Rowland, the Wicked Angel. Fifteen years of age. I am an elementalist. I'm Filipino. Wicked Angel created me." The next girl said, a lot louder and more confident. Like she was just showing to everyone how she was.
"My name is Ryka Kioku, aka Chamelon. And this…" The very cheerful girl pulled a frog out of her pocket and showed it to everyone, "Is Captain Ginyu! Isn't he cute? I'm sixteen and I can turn invisible, too! Oh, and BaronOBeefDip made me."
"My name is Vixen Rays, and my codename is FOX. I'm sixteen years old and my abilities are to control plants. I also have abilities like foxes do, and I've never been caught!" She said in a manner that just made anyone want to like her, "Kitsune Rose came up with me."
"Neona Shields. Seventeen years old, and you can call me Pixie. I'm from Ohio and I am the best when it comes to fighting ability. So you had better watch out." Said the pixie looking girl. Very suitable for her name. Just like Ivy.
No one spoke for a minute, as everyone looked at the last girl who needed to introduce herself. She was just looking around until she realized that everyone was looking at her.
"Oh, is it my turn?" She asked Lance, who groaned in annoyance.
"Yes!" He said.
"Oh. My name is Falanna Baker. My mutant name is Starr. I am eighteen years old and I'm from Canada. I throw stars that glow. Akachan made me!" She said.
"That appears to be all of the people that are new for the moment." Xavier said, "Now, since it is getting late and you all have school tomorrow, I would suggest getting to bed. Everyone has their new room assignments, is that right?" He asked.
All of the Xavier students nodded and started for the Mansion. Ivy turned and waved at the Brotherhood as they left. She was really happy that there were so many interesting students this term. And none of them hated her! All she had to do was to find out who her roommate would be and then, hopefully, get some sleep.
As she stepped into her room, she was horrified by who she saw unpacking in the other dresser.
"Are you…" Ivy said, in a strained tone, "serious? Starrie Nightshade? My roommate?"
"Yep! That's me!" She said hyperly, turning her head around as her body continued to unpack, "I hope you don't mind. I like to sleep as a cat, so you can use my bed or whatever. I want to sleep in some pillows in the corner!"
"Good night." Ivy said, in a gesture of giving up and plopped on her bed. She fell asleep, much to her surprise, as soon as her head hit the pillow.
