Thank you to my story's two reviewers so far.
ldypebsaby: I'm glad you liked the beginning. And yes, Jamie will appear soon enough with his own background story just like the others. The first nine chapter will deal each of the new recruits. So it may seem kinda slow in the beinning, but please keep reading and reviewing. Jamie should be up soon, maybe the fifth or sixth new mutant. The reaction with Bobby's was skipped, and most of them will. Although their parents might interact a little.
ultanium flight: Ray's chapter will be coming soon.
=================================================================
She sat crying quietly, rocking back and forth as she sat on the ground.
The mall was closed and deserted, dark and depressing. It was a very odd change, since she'd always loved the mall. But now, Jubilation Lee hated that she in the mall. It was the only place she'd been for a week straight now. And the only item purchasing she'd done was by stealing.
Now though, guards had been employed at night, and lots of them. Jubilation had to be stealthier and more determined now, if she didn't want to get caught.
Not that the guards would know she'd been stealing. But then of course they'd probably arrest her for trespassing after hours or something.
Ever since she'd "changed", Jubilee had been forced to leave her parents and friends. Her parents still loved her and treated her the same, but Jubilee knew they felt different inside knowing their daughter was different.
Jubilee had neglected to tell her friends. She had convinced herself that they would've been scared, angry, or confused. None of them would stand by her. None of them were like her.
Rubbing her palms together, Jubilee produced a colorful spark, gazing at it with a mesmerized look. It didn't hurt her hands at all, and she could easily diminish it. But then she angrily flung it away from her. The spark sailed over the gap within the second floor of the mall, and exploded into a window. The glass sprayed the floor inside the store, and an alarm sounded off.
Jubilee slammed her fists down in anger for her reckless action. Now the guards would surely be alert.
"Hey you!" Someone called not too far away. Jubilee looked up to see a guard pointing at her down the balcony of the second floor, at least ten stores away. With a gasp, she scurried to her feet. The guard had started his pursuit, as Jubilee started to sprint away.
Being the athletic person she was, Jubilee gained some distance between herself and the guard. But there were two guards in front of her, about to charge.
Quickly evading them, she placed a hand on the railing, and kicked up over the railing. She dropped a few feet and landed on top of a small store in the walkway of the mall. Before the guards could try to hop off too, she was leapt to the ground and continued running.
There were three guards already running towards her on the first floor.
"This place is full of guards," muttered Jubilee as she pivoted and ran sideways towards a set of stairs that led to the side of the second floor opposite to the side she'd just escaped off of. The three guards made it to the stairs as she ran off of them.
A guard standing on the second floor already tried to bar her path. Deciding that she'd have to reveal her powers to escape, Jubilee fired a wave of sparks directed at the guard.
Since she'd discovered her power, Jubilee had learned somewhat how to control them. She could make fireworks, sparks, and sparkler like beams. It seemed that most of her powers were for play, but she'd learn to make them more offensive. She'd learned how to make her abilities pack more force.
The guard was knocked on his butt, and Jubilee retreated past him. Just as she was about to round a corner, the light of a flashlight loomed along the ground in front of her. She waited a few seconds until the hand of someone holding a flashlight stuck out in front of her from the other side of the corner. With a swift leg lift as a kick, the flashlight was knocked into the air. Then she lunged forwards into a sweep, knocking an unsuspecting guard off of his feet.
A second guard moved at her, but with the colorful flashes Jubilee emitted at his face, he had a hard time catching her. The young mutant retreat towards the railing, and hurdled over it.
A moment later she landed on a tall fountain. Water soaked her shoes, but she still leapt off the fountain, landing just outside of the small pool that surrounded it. Then she took off towards the closest exit.
Most of the guards were too far to chase her, as Jubilee slammed both of her palms into the double doors. They flew open as she extended her arms to the side while she stood in the doorway.
She gasped though as a red and blue light cascaded in front of her. The doors closed behind her, and in front of her were a police car. Two policemen where inching toward her. One of them had a pair of handcuffs.
"Calm down, miss. We want to talk to you." The cop without the handcuffs stated. Jubilee backed up in a scared manor.
But as she stifled a gasp and pointed a shaky figure, it became evident that it wasn't the cops scaring her. Sticking up out of the police car was a girl around Jubilee's age. The brunette with a ponytail was only half showing. From her waist up was showing, while the rest was concealed inside the car. She was standing halfway stuck out of the car.
The girl waved, horrifying Jubilee even more. The two cops looked back at their car, but the girl was gone when they did.
Breaking away from the sudden frightening experience, Jubilee quickly fired off to sparks at the cops. As the two turned around, they were knocked onto the hood of their car. Jubilee took off into a sprint, running next to the wall of the mall.
She quickly turned to look back, but a hand grabbed her arm and yanked her into an alleyway leading back inside the mall. Jubilee swung her fist wildly, narrowly missing a ducking girl.
"Whoa, watch it!" She cried out, letting go of Jubilee.
"Leave me alone!!" Jubilee screamed in utter confusion, but as she turned around, the brunette from before was slowly moving up from out of the ground. She was barely moving from her position. Her hands were folded behind her, and she was smiling. It was like she floating out of the street.
Jubilee jumped back, bumping into the other girl.
"Who are you people?!" Jubilee yelled, moving against the wall and trying slide past the girls.
"We're here to help you." The brunette replied sweetly. Jubilee gaped at her with a frightened gaze.
"Hey, I think she went in the alleyway!" The cop shouted off in the distance. Jubilee gasped and spun around.
"If you want to get away from them, come with us," the other girl suggested. Jubilee noticed the two white streaks in her hair as bangs, in front of dark auburn hair. Both girls looked like they were dressed in some uniform. Jubilee herself was wearing a black T-shirt and dark blue jeans. That reminded her how she'd been wearing the same clothes for a while now.
"We can help you. We're like you, you know, with the powers and all. We're mutants." The brunette stated to Jubilee. She extended her hand out. "My name's Kitty."
Jubilee took it reluctantly.
"I'm...a mutant?" She asked blankly.
"Don't take it like that though. You're normal just like us, just with powers. Ah don't let it get to me and neither should you." The girl with the white streaks suggested, her Southern accent showing.
The other girl seemed a little less social than Kitty, not even offering her name.
"I hear some people in here!"
All three girls gasped as footsteps became evident right around the corner.
"I'll come!" Jubilee screamed a little louder than she'd intended too. Kitty smiled as she took both Rogue and Jubilee's hand. They started to pass through the ground, almost melting right through the street. Jubilee felt strange as it happened, but a feeling of relief soon washed over her.
At least now she wouldn't be alone. And these people understood who she was. Jubilee wanted to find out more now, as she fully passed through the ground.
No more guards. No more rough nights in the mall. She was free now.
=================================================================
A/N: So there's how it's going to be for the beginning. Each new mutant will get their own chapter. The next ones to come are Sam's and then Ray's, followed by the other five new mutants. The X-men as well as other mutants will also be in this story, even though it's mostly focused on the new recruits. Please review.
