Title: Wake up it's my new look.
"Where am ah?" Marie asked herself as she woke up realizing she wasn't home.
People always say that. She thought.
"Marie," She looked to see a familiar face.
"Mrs. Darkholme?" she replied confused and shocked.
"Marie you're safe now but there is something I must let you know." She stoop up and turned from the woman Marie knew to have tan skin and brown hair, blue eyes and a sporty sense of fashion to a blue skinned woman with red hair and yellow eyes and an almost sluty-type wear, with a white leather shirt and gloves with mid thigh white boots and a one piece skirt with a split on both sides starting at her waste.
"You're a mutant as well...?" Marie asked not at all angry.
"You're not mad?" she asked.
"No...surprisingly not. So that must mean ah have powers right? What are they? Ah have a feeling they aren't so good." Marie replied.
"Yes Marie you do have powers. My powers are simple...I'm can morph into any other living being whether it be male or female, child or adult, fat or skinny and literally all colors. I am called Mystique. Your powers on the other hand aren't simple and are actually not good."
Marie expected the worse and sighed. "Well tell meh already."
"You can metabolize someone's essence through skin-to-skin contact. You temporarily absorb and duplicate their memories, skills and special powers." Mystique replied.
"Say it again in terms ah can actually understand," Marie demanded.
"Just tell me...who was the first person you touched all night that night when things started getting weird. Was it Cody?" Mystique urged.
Marie slammed both her fists into the bed," How did you know?!"
"Everybody's talking about it back where what use to be your home but here no one knows about it. You touched that and he fell out. You took his life force through a touch-"
"He's DEAD!" Marie snapped.
"No you knocked him unconscious with your skin. You obviously went to his house," when Marie looked at her suspiciously," It was allover the news how his bedroom window was busted and someone went through his stuff." Marie's eyes held a sudden distant look. "It was you wasn't it. When you touched him you got his memories and obvious football skills the way that boy, Cody's friend, said on the news. You thought it was your room didn't you Marie?" Marie nodded. "But what happened to the window?"
"That man...he had claws coming out his hands," Marie rubbed her fists wondering if it hurt, the claws that is. "So ahm wanted?"
"No...there is no proof it was you. That man you described, I only know one person that could fit that description," Mystique went through a drawer and pulled out a watt of paper and threw it on Marie's bed between her hands. "Look through there...is anybody familiar?"
Marie looked on the first page, a bald man. The next page a cute guy with red glasses. For a short time she was reminded of Remy but she was quickly angered at the thought of him. She looked on the next page and saw a red head," There she-ah saw her Jean she said her name was." She looked through the next few pages seeing the demon guy, the prep, and the guy with the claws. "Them to...they were all following meh."
"They are the x-men, they are the enemy. They too have powers and it says everything about them in those papers. Don't trust anyone." Mystique replied.
"So where ahm ah...obviously not in the south and what will become of meh?" Marie asked.
"Bayville, don't worry to much about where your at. Nothing will follow you here. You want a new name like me or do you want everyone to all you Marie like back home?" Mystique wondered aloud.
"No way!" Marie thought about it....she couldn't think of anything that fit her.
"Think about it. Wash up and come down stairs and meet the boys. Oh yeah this is the Brotherhood...welcome. Also a word of advice, cover up as much skin as possible." Mystique said before leaving the room.
Marie got up and stretched and noticed all her stuff was already there in her suitcase. She looked in the closet and there were long sleeved shirts and pants but most weren't her style. She saw a small box about the size of a speaker on her dresser and she opened it. There was makeup of all dark colors and there was a note.
"Raven said you might want something to ward off people and I thought of makeup. Use it if you must and remember one thing...looks an be deceiving." Marie read aloud and smiled as the words were scrambled over the place.
Irene had wrote this herself and that alone meant a lot to Marie. She sighed and showered then got dressed in a black mid thigh shirt and black leggings. She found combat boots under the bed and she liked them, they were black and green. She wore a black sleeveless thick strap mid drift shirt under a green mesh one. A black spiked choker on her neck and both wrists and black gloves that still smelled fresh. She looked in the mirror and then back down at the makeup.
"Guess ah'll use it," she spoke to herself and messed around with the colors.
She went through three colors before she found one she liked on her eyes and she used the matching lipstick. She looked in the mirror and actually liked what she did to herself. "Maybe this change isn't so bad after all." She said went downstairs.
