The Uncanny R-Man: Oh no trust me those two will NOT be an item. Maybe
a little crush at first but nothing beyond that. Besides Warren won't
be here until in a future story.
BlackRoseApocalyps: I'm glad your back, and I'm happy you liked the last chapter, plus I'm really looking forward to you continuing "Vacation" when you get around to it and thanks for asking to make your own version of Vincent in that story.
DemonRogue13: Thanks for the info, although you misspelled the link but I still found the site, I'll look through it more when I got time.
Red Witch: Well, my own version of it anyway, but I guess I am. Yes it does help and Thanks.
NctrnlBst: Thanks, and from what I heard, the demon girl is from the comics, I'm just playing up her part a little.
Ruby: Whoa, that's weird since I haven't even read that comic with her in it...oh well I guess I'm just lucky.
Celtcatch47: lol, well he'll make an appearance in this story, but I am planning something with him in the future later.
Jadestar 123: Sorry can't tell you that, you'll just have to wait and see.
FAMILY AFFAIRS
CHAPTER 8: NEW FRIEND OR NEW ENEMY?
Gale was sitting in her room on her bed, minding her own business reading. At least she was until alarms started going off all over the place. She jumped and her book was dropped to the ground.
She looked at the now closed book. "Ah Hell, now I've lost my place." She growled. She hated it when that happened. She figured she could try and find her place later, after she found out what the trouble was.
She could pick up a lot of strained emotions, mostly either fear or excitement. She made her way down the halls looking for someone to tell her what's going on. She met up with Tabitha on the way. "Tabby what's going on?" She asked the taller blond.
"Perimeter alarm has been set off, someone's tried to sneak in." She said to her while still running down the stairs to the first floor. Gale was right behind her and nearly stumbled on the steps when the Professor's thoughts were suddenly in her head.
(Gale I need you to go to the infirmary.) He sent to her. She nearly fell face first onto the floor because she was so startled.
"That is just too creepy." She muttered to herself and ran to the infirmary. On the way the alarms seemed to be turned off. When she came through the double doors of the infirmary, she found Mr. McCoy, Ororo, Blink and Xavier there standing around a bed.
She moved closer to it and she found herself looking at a girl that looked a lot like Kurt, only with bat-like wings. "I didn't know Kurt had a sister...well another one at least." She said not taking her eyes off of her.
"Well we're taking a blood sample to be sure." Hank said to her looking at a vile of blood that must have come from her. "She seems to have some injuries and I think this is the perfect opportunity for you to start to learn about your healing powers."
"A-a-are you sure? I mean...I'm not sure how I did it the first time." Gale stammered. She was still a little nervous about her powers, since they were so new to her.
Xavier nodded his head. "I'll be here to help you, so don't feel so unsure of yourself Gale, you can do this. We will take it nice and slow to give you a chance to get used to it also."
Gale moved close to the girl and took a deep breath. 'Okay come on you can do this.' She said to herself. She placed her hands on the girls face and opened her mind like the Professor taught her too.
At first she wasn't sure it was working, then she felt the familiar sensation of her out of body experience and the glow returned. This time her powers were a surprise and she felt a power surge from within her and seemed to go into the girl.
She wasn't aware of time, and it all seemed to start at one moment then she was back. She felt tired but not as tired as she was the first time. She girl on the bed moaned a little and opened her eyes.
They were different then Kurt's. She looked around at the others around her. Xavier looked closely at the girl. "Don't worry you are safe here." He calmly said to the girl. "Can you tell me your name and why you're here?"
"My...my name is Jillian." She said. "I came here, because I heard mutants are safe here." There was a fear in her voice. Gale thought she didn't detect any, but her healing had taken a toll on her and her empathic powers seemed to be nearly mute.
"I'm I safe?" The girl seemed to plead.
"Yes you are, please rest and we'll get you settled in the morning when you are feeling better." He gently said to her.
"Alright. Thank you." She said, and with that she puts her head down and seems to go almost immediately into sleep.
"Poor girl must be exhausted." Storm says looking at the girl. Blink standing next to her nods her head.
Gale moves next to her and sits down. She looks at the girls face and the short blue fur that is a match for Kurt's. "Professor? Have you gotten anything out of her head, to see what happened to her?"
Xavier looks a little concerned. "I tried but she has strong mental barriers. I fear if I push too hard it might do some damage."
"I guess we wait until morning then." Gale said looking at the professor, who nodded in agreement with her.
"So how do you feel Gale?" He asked her looking for any signs that she might have over done it.
She shrugged. "Better then the last time, but I still feel a little drained." She admitted.
"Then you should go and get some rest then." He said to her, and she nodded her head but first she took a closer look at the girl's face. Even though her face was blue a furry like Kurt's, she thought she looked kind of cute with it.
One of Xavier's eyebrows rose up and he glanced at her. Gale noticed this and blushed a little and decided she should get back to that book.
Of course everyone had questions to what had happened and they all asked, but the adults and those involved simply said they would know all about it tomorrow. This of course was not received well by the others and they didn't like being kept in the dark.
But they bore with it anyways.
OUTSIDE
A short distance away three figures in dark jackets and hats watched from afar. They all wore matching outfits that cloaked their faces and the shapes of their bodies. There was a tall slim one, and short stocky one and a large bulky one. They had seen them take in Jillian and they were pleased.
"I can't believe that girl actually let us beat the crap out of her for this." The shortest one said.
"She's truly devoted to Neyaphem and to our Lord." Said the large one, who was obviously the leader of the little group. "Besides they wouldn't just let her in if she just showed up. They might be suspicious. But if she showed up weak and helpless they would take pity on her and let her in."
"Do you think she will get it? What if they find a way around the mental barriers we put in her head?" The other one asked.
"Must you be so negative? Besides if she fails, we have other ways of getting what we need." The leader of the group said.
THE NEXT DAY
There was of course the usual commotion of the morning but it was also amplified due to the fact that by then everyone was anxious to know about the new girl.
Logan and Xavier were on their way to the medical ward. "Ya know Chuck, if we keep getting new kids all the time like this, we're going to run out of room."
Xavier seemed to ponder this. "Yes, and we also need more teachers soon as well. But to your earlier question I believe it might be time to expand the mansion a little."
Logan snorted. "A little? At this rate we're going to have to put on a whole new floor or expand the wings, for all the new kids that we do have and might get in the future."
Xavier sighed. He really didn't like the idea of a month of construction. Although it would be easier then it was to rebuild the mansion. But that was for another time, now he had more pressing issues.
They made their way to the Jillian's bed. She seemed to be wide awake and had been waiting for them. Hank came out of the next room. "Oh good you're here."
"Well Hank is she a relative of the elf's or what?" Logan asked impatiently.
"Remarkably she's not." Hank said holding a clipboard with scientific notes on it. "She has no relation to him at all." This was a surprise to them, since they hadn't expected that given her looks.
"Excuse me but what are you talking about?" They all turned to see Jillian looking at them.
"Oh sorry Jillian." Hank said slightly embarrassed. "It's just that you bear a remarkable resemblance to a student we have and needed to compare your genetic sample and his. We found that you aren't related and this is quite a surprise since you two resemble each other so closely."
"Really?" She said hopefully. "There's another like me here? Who? Where?" She asked anxiously.
The professor chucked to himself, then grew a little serious. "Tell me Jillian why did you come here, and what happened to you?"
Jillian got vary scared looking and cradled her legs. "My parents disowned me and looking like I do I had nowhere to go. Sine I heard about this place, I figured it was the best place to be, so I came here."
Her eyes began to tear up. "I-I-I was attacked on the ground. I was resting and they jumped me. I barely got away...I don't remember much...I just remember trying to get here, then I woke up here."
The attitude in the room was sober at best. "Um, do you guys mind if I can get something to eat? I'm really hungry." Jillian said shyly.
Xavier looked to Hank who nodded. "Of course, and I think this would be the best time to introduce you to the others." Jillian smiled hugely at him.
DINING ROOM
There was a huge breakfast laid out in the room and most of the students (Who hadn't already eaten) were there. They were talking about the mysterious girl and Blink, Scott and Jean were bombarded with questions.
They of course told them they couldn't talk about it, then the doors opened and then everyone sitting facing the door suddenly stopped eating and the others looking at them turned to see what they were looking at and they too were staring.
Next to Logan and Xavier was Jillian who everyone was staring at. Kurt most of all who had his jaw hanging in surprise as well as complete shock.
Xavier cleared his throat. "Everyone this is Jillian, and in case of your obvious question, no she isn't a relative of Kurt's she just bears a remarkable similarity to him. Jillian smiled and walked closely to Kurt.
"So you must be the one called Kurt that I've heard all about." She said looking him over. "I can see way they thought we were related."
There were the obvious questions everyone asked of her. Put she was evasive, and they thought that her past wasn't something she wanted to talk about. Several of them could relate to that.
After the morning meal Xavier spoke up. "Now that you'll be living here, I think we might have to have you share a room, since we're running short on single rooms at the moment."
"I don't mind." Gale spoke up suddenly. Everyone looked at her and she blushed a little. "Well I have room to spare and she's welcome to crash with me."
Xavier looked to Jillian who she smiled and nodded. "Very well then. Vincent could you get a bed from one of storage rooms in the sub-levels?"
"Alright, but why is it always me that does this? Not that I'm complaining much since I'm happy to help out." He said.
"Because all the strength makes you the institute pack mule." Logan said grinning. Vincent however glared at the older Canadian, which only made him grin even more.
After the meal everyone had gone off to do what ever it was that they had planned that day. Gale had showed her to their room. Jillian looked around the room and seemed to approve.
There was a nock on the door and Gale opened it. "Bed delivery service." Vincent said to her. He was standing outside the door with pieces of a bead propped up against the wall behind him.
"That was fast." She said looking at everything.
Vincent grinned at her. "You haven't seen anything yet." Then he walked into the room and looked around. "So where do you want the bed?" He asked them. Jillian looked around the room.
"Is over here okay?" She asked Gale pointing to a corner of by a wall.
"Sure fine with me." She said.
Vincent nodded then in quick blurs he started to not only place the bed parts but seemed to set it up also. The girls stood back and gave him room and he made the bed in under a minute.
"That...was impressive." Gale said looking at the mostly completed work. All it was missing was the mattress and covering.
""Yeah well it was nothing. Besides this way no has to kill several hours hauling this stuff up from the sub-level storage areas all the way up here and then put it together." He said to the girls looking it over making sure it was set-up properly.
"I'll get the mattress, but you can get the rest of it in the hallway closet three doors down that way." He said to Jillian pointing. "That's where all the extra sheets and stuff are kept."
"Okay, thanks." Jillian said to him. "I'll get it later, but first I think I'll take a little walk round to get my bearings if you two don't mind?"
The two Canadians nodded their heads and she was off.
Kurt was on the roof, one of his favorite places to think since only a few people other then him could get up there. He was thinking about Jillian and the fact that she wasn't related to him, and yet looked like him brought up some questions.
For instance he always assumed he was unique in the world, but if there was her, could there be more mutants that looked something like him? Where were they, and what were they like?
His thoughts were interrupted by a flapping noise and looked up to see Jillian fly down next to him. She smiled at him and she took a seat next to him, in fact she was right against him.
"Hi." She said. Kurt was a little nervous at the way she was looking at him. He managed to say a mumble hello. He couldn't help but notice that when she smiled at him it reminded him of how Amanda smiled sometimes.
"You know, I'm glad you're here." She said to him. Kurt was a little confused as to way. "I mean it's nice to have such a cute guy living in this place." She was moving ever closer while saying it.
Kurt's internal alarm was going off, but before he could do anything she was kissing him. He was so shocked at first he couldn't move but suddenly pulled away. "Vhoa zere! Stop! I hate to tell you but I already got a girlfriend." He said quickly.
She tilted her head. "Who?" She said with a sense of coldness to it.
"Amanda." He told her. Jillian thought through all the names and faces and saw the dark skinned girl with long brown hair. She looked back at Kurt.
"Her?" She said in a disbelieving voice. "Why her? I mean you could do so much better." She said in a seductive tone and started moving slowly back to him.
Kurt's eyes bulged open and he fought down the panic he felt. "Look, you seen....nice, but I love her. Sorry but nozing can happen." With that he teleported out of there, leaving Jillian alone on the rooftop.
"Hump." She said to herself. "That girl will not stand in my way. You will be mine Kurt." Then she flew to the window of the bedroom she now shared. 'But I have more important work to do.' She thought to herself. She had a mission to do for her Lord and she would not fail him.
She looked to see her bed now had a mattress and even a few pillows. It was a start, but she really felt like she needed a shower first. Being on the ground last night left some dirt on her and in her hair, and she hadn't had a chance to wash up yet.
She found some towels in a dresser and after making sure the door to the hall was closed she slipped out of her outfit and took her shower. It was a little difficult because of the wings, but she learned to make do long ago.
She came out with one towel around her top and using another to dry her hair. She heard a gasps and quickly turned to see Gale who had turned her head. "Sorry I didn't know you were in there."
She sounded a little nervous to Jillian and she could see her blushing slightly. "Hey it's okay I needed to get cleaned up. Besides we should get used to this since we'll be living in the same room together.
Gale nodded. "You, uh...want me to turn around while you change or something?"
Jillian was a little puzzled by her reactions, but just shrugged it off, as she was the nervous type. "Whatever." She said then she slipped back into her clothing. When she was done she noticed Gale was blushing a little more.
Jillian just shook her head and left. 'What is with that girl?' She thought. 'She really needs to get over her shyness or whatever it is.'
She moved down the halls. 'Now where would I hide the device I'm looking for?' The thought about her mission to find the device the blue one, Kurt had used to enter the Brimstone dimension. 'Perhaps I should make a few discreet questions would be enough to help me out or starters.'
