NctrnlBst: Yeah like say when the mansion was blown up, you'd need cash
right?
Supergirlhv: I've always thought where he got the money too, so I came up with one. For the Danger Room it's either the adults (minus Xavier for obvious reasons) and/or Forge who does the fixing. I sort of touched on that back in Enter Daytripper.
Red Witch: Let me guess it was the X-Men movie references was that was the idea you got? Or was it for the Vampire story?
Shadow-Spider: Yeah I really don't like Pietro, I thought it was funny too.
BLINK'S NEW LIFE
CHAPTER 4: GETTING TO KNOW EVERYONE
Blink had finally finished to unpack and was glad to have her own stuff once again. She looked into a mirror on the wall. She still had the hologram on. She reached for her watch never taking her eyes off her image.
She stared at her true appearance. Pietro's words echoed in her mind. 'Who would want to look like a reject from the Lord of the Rings?'
She had always been self-conscience about her image, that she got from her mother, but now....now she was a freak.
She sat down on her bead. She felt like crying but didn't want to. She had done enough of that. She was tired of it.
She was really sinking into her depression when Kurt teleported in scaring her slightly. "Oh sorry Blink I vas looking for Amanda." Then he noticed how she looked and he grew concerned. "Vaht is wrong?" he said gently sitting down next to her.
She didn't know where to start. She let out a deep sigh. "Well lets see, first off my family ditches me, I get sent into a place where I have to literally fight for my life, but I guess the real things is I'm still getting used to all of this."
"I mean I looked so different now, and it's like I have to start my life all over again, and...and I feel so lonely at times. I mean how long did it take you to get used to your appearance?"
Kurt smiled a little. "Actually I vas born like this." Blink covered her mouth. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean, I just thought that you changed one day like me."
"Nein, nein, it's all right, I've never had to go through vhat you or Mr. McCoy had to go through. But vhy so lonely? Zere are lots of people here?"
"Um....I've never been good at making friends." She said quietly.
Kurt got a pleasant look on his face and took her hand. She looked up at him when he did. "Vell zat ends today, I'm going to introduce you to ze others and by the end of the day you'll have plenty of friends."
"I-I-I don't know, I mean, I-"But was cut off as Kurt teleported them outside the rec room. She looked around and glared at him slightly. "Hey, that's not fair."
"Look I just vant to help." He said holding his hands defensively. "Besides I'll give you a slight information about the people ve vill meet so you know vhat to expect. Trust me."
Blink wasn't sure what to do at first but she decided to trust him. It was better than sitting in her room alone brooding. They entered and she found most of the student doing something.
Kurt began pointing out people and giving her a little background. "Zat's Ray and Sam over zere plying pool with Amara and Tabitha. Sam and Taby are dating and just so you know Taby is kind of a vild one."
"Amara is her roommate and best friend and she's actually a real princess." Blink started at the girl, when she was little she always wondered what is was like to be a princess, she made a mental note to ask her sometime.
"Sam's a nice guy, but Ray has anger issues, he's also dating zis girl Pam, and zose two are definitely two of a kind."
Blink looked confused for a moment. "I don't remember anyone named Pam here."
Kurt slapped his head. "Oh I forgot Pam, Amy and Amy's little brother Joseph are human friends ve have, you'll meet zem some time later." Blink nodded.
"Vell the goth girl over zere trying to read is mien sister Rogue." Blink looked at Kurt the same way every did when they learned that. "Foster sister of course. She is also dating Vincent, but he's a nice guy so I don't mind, as long as he keeps being a gentleman vith her."
"Oh yeah I meet Vincent at breakfast." Blink said recalling earlier that day.
"Ja, he and Ororo usually make the breakfast in ze mornings. I zink he's with Jamie doing zeir training zing."
"So I guess you already know Jamie, Amada and Jubliee, especially after zat shopping trip earlier."
"Yeah and I also met Kitty."
"Ja. zose two are shopahaulics they can't go a veek without going to ze mall to either buy somezing or vindow shop." Blink had to agree with that those two were just a little TOO eager to go.
"Oh did you meet Lockheed yet?"
"Who?"
"THAT FIRE BREATHING LIZARD BURNED MY SHOES! WHERE IS HE?" They heard Bobby yell out.
"Vell the von yelling vould be Bobby, Jubilee's boyfriend and ze one he's talking about is Kitty's pet dragon, and yes I'm not kidding."
Just then Lockheed flew through the door and went across the room and headed out the other door. Bobby came running in making a beeline to the other door. Kurt just sighed. "Zose two just don't get along."
Blink was taking the time to get over the shock of seeing a little flying purple dragon." Okay....are there any....other pets I should know about?"
"Nein, just him."
"Oh." Blink was still in a little shock, the wasn't sure but at that point she got the feeling her life would never be anything close to normal again. Weather that was a good thing or a bad thing...well the jury was still out on that.
Kurt filled her in on the others at the institute and then led her foreword to the others to introduce her. Of course she was shy as always but she was a little pit at ease.
Soon she began talking with the other, well they mostly talked and she listened a lot. Rogue mainly just read her book but did join in every now and then, and Blink thought she was just a girl that liked her privacy.
She could relate, at times she just wanted to be alone too, or was it she was just used to being alone. She was getting over her shyness as the time went on. They even asked her if she played pool, but she had never even held the stick (Which she was quickly corrected by Ray as being called a cue) before that day.
So they decided to teach her. She fumbled at first and Ray helped to show her how to hold it and to shoot. She blushed slightly when he leaned in close, more because she wasn't used to being so close to anyone, rather because of any attraction.
Although she did think he was nice looking, he really wasn't her type though. They played for a while and Blink was getting the hang of it. She was enjoying the company of these people.
For the first time in a long time, she was beginning to feel like she belonged somewhere that she was starting to fit in.
Taby was hilarious and Blink kept wishing that she could be as outgoing as she was. It seemed so easy for her to say whatever she wanted and they way she flirted with Sam, made her wish she could have done that. There were a few guys in her old town that she wished she had the guts to go up to them like that.
After a while she the others had to leave for an afternoon training session, she was still getting used to her new life, so she was excused for the first few sessions. Now she was alone, because Kurt had left earlier to find Amanda and Rogue had finished reading to some point in her book and had gone off.
She decided to wonder around and try and get familiar with her new home. She traveled along the way. She came upon the greenhouse where Ororo kept her favorite plants.
She had never seen so many in her life. She had read about these kinds of plants and flowers, since she liked to grow things like that.
She was marveling in them so much she didn't notice Ororo come in.
"Do you like them?" she asked causing her to jump and quickly turn around.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm I not supposed to be here?" She frantically asked.
Ororo smiled at her. "Not at all, would you care to help me?"
Blink was delighted to.
