NctrnlBst: Well Kitty and Jubilee are shopping junkies, plus Blink got
there with only the clothes on her back, literally and they don't really
show that much of Bayville in the series. Besides if the Professor can
afford a jet and helicopter made of plastic he can afford the girls some
credit.
Allycat588: Thanks, unfortunately Kurt and Amanda are a solid item and I have no idea who to fix Blink up with. I'm still struggling with Amara also. It doesn't help that there are more girls than boys right now.
Red Witch: Well maybe you could right a story of the Misfits going there and trashing the place. There plenty to trash, and Alpha Flight could get involved.
Shadow-Spider: Yeah her life is stressed enough as it is, isn't it?
BLINK'S NEW LIFE
CHAPTER 3: SHOPPING TROUBLES
Blink was concerned about a few things on the way to the mall. She would love to get some new clothes but didn't have anything to pay for it. When she brought this up Ororo took away her concerns.
"Don't worry the Professor figured on such things, which is why I'm here, Logan and myself have access to the school funds for emergencies like this."
"Yeah, but this is only a one time thing, you'll have to pay for everything that after this." Jubilee said from the back.
"Yeah we already blown what we could earlier this week, so we're coming alone to like help you out." Kitty exclaimed cheerfully.
"How is it the Professor can afford all this stuff, I mean that jet alone has to be worth a few million?" Blink asked.
"Actually more than that, but the Professor had a rich inheritance, plus he's well invested and there are a few people who make discreet donations from time to time, because they believe in his work." Ororo told the girl.
"Really? Who?" She asked.
"Sorry but Charles doesn't tell anyone that, not even me or Logan, he promised complete secrecy."
"Oh." She replied and turned to face the front again.
They arrived at the mall and the girls took Blink to all their favorite stores first. She tried to get the clothing she normally wore but the girls kept saying they weren't for her.
"Clarice why do you always go for the baggy clothing?" Jubilee asked.
She just shrugged. "I've always worn it, it's just...well...my mother said she didn't want her daughter looking like a slut."
Jubilee was shocked. "She said THAT? Well she's also the one that dumped you so I don't think her opinion matters."
Blink looked down at bit, sure her mother was a little harsh at times, but she loved her. Even after everything, but she couldn't help feel anger towards her as well. She remembered how her mother always took care of her and that she was her precious little girl.
So why was it so easy for her to throw her aside like she did?
"Hey are you alright?" Jubilee asked concerned when she saw Blink's eyes were beging to mist up.
She wiped her eyes. "Yeah, it's just that talking about her just brought everything back for a moment."
"Hey guys! I like found the perfect thing for her over here." They heard Kitty's voice from somewhere in the store.
"Come on, you got a new life, time for a new look." Jubilee told her and grabbed her hand and led her deeper into the store. Blink didn't say anything, but she was beginning to think maybe it was time to change.
What could it hurt? She already had lavender skin for starters, what's a little more?
A little later they were all by the store. Blink was holding a few bags with some new clothing, she was glad to have her own again, so she didn't have to borrow from Amanda again.
It's not that she didn't like Amanda's clothing. It's just that she felt like a freeloader or something doing it.
"I can't believe you got so many shirts." Kitty said to her.
Blink blushed a little. "I like them, I just wonder why you two insisted on getting the ones that were so...short."
Jubilee rolled her eyes. "Please those ones you wanted went down below your knees."
"Hey Kitty." Said a male voice. Kitty turned to see Lance walking towards her. "Hi Lance." She smiled happily.
"Great her and rock-boy are back together again." Jubilee whispered to her, while rolling her eyes. She also noticed that Toad and Pietro were there also.
"So where are the other two?" Jubilee asked them, Todd spoke up for them, while Lance and Kitty talked. "Well Fred's at the food court, giving the all-you-can-eat guys a heart attack, and Wanda's at Hot Topic."
Pietro suddenly zoomed right next to Blink. "Hey cutie what's your name?"
Blink was startled and didn't know who this was and the fact that Jubilee didn't seem to like them didn't put her at east either.
"What can't talk?" He said then grabbed her watch at super speed. "Hey nice watch it kind of looks likes furball's."
As soon as the watch came off, Blink's true image was revealed. The Brotherhood boys were shocked to say the least at her true appearance. Jubilee acted quickly before anyone noticed and grabbed the watch back and gave it to Blink.
Ororo had moved in front of her to block her from the view of others while Blink was given it back.
She frantically put it back on, her heart racing with fear, if people saw her like that. She finally put it on and luckily no one seemed to notice. Blink breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whoa, I guess the furball isn't the only elf you guys got now, I can see why she has to hide herself, who would want to look like a reject from the Lord of the Rings?" Pietro said with a smirk.
Ororo and Kitty were giving the boy death glares, even Lance didn't approve of his behavior.
"That wasn't funny Pietro!" Jubilee snapped.
"Oh and what are you going to do about it firecracker?"
Jubilee was about to do something when an energy lance hit Pietro and he disappeared. They all looked at Blink who had her hand out with an angry expression on his face.
"Blink like what did you-"Kitty started but a high-pitched scream was heard. "What was that?" She asked. Then another high-pitched scream was heard.
"Now THAT was Pietro." Todd said.
They heard a commotion and looked to see Pietro stumbling out of a ladies room, with a few angry women attacking him with purses. They saw him get up and run with the women hot on his heels.
Jubilee was laughing so hard she was clutching her sides. Ororo was trying to hide a smile herself. Even Lance and Todd were breaking up laughing.
"Oh man I bet Wanda would love to have seen that." Todd said with tears running down his face.
Blink looked at little pleased herself. It was the first time she had really stood up to anybody and it felt good to finally do it.
Kitty went off with Lance for the rest of the trip since she rarely got a chance to be with him, while Todd went off to bug Wanda.
Ororo and Jubilee stayed with Blink, and continued to look around for things she would need.
Luckily they didn't run into Pietro again that day, but they did overhear a security guard asking about a white haired pervert they were looking for. The three of them shared a smile and the rest of the trip was pretty much a pleasant evening.
NEXT UP CHAPTER 4: GETTING TO KNOW EVERYONE
The others try and to get Blink to break out of her shell and get to know the others.
