Just 'Ro
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ch. 4 Memories
"Get up Alex!!! We're late for school!!!" Alick yelled at me. "Oh, pipe down would ya?" I was in a bad mood. A really bad mood. I sighed as I joined the others at the bus stop. Matt and James were shoving each other all over the place. I just lost my temper and froze them all and flew off. I landed outside school a little later and sighed seeing them. "Nice try Alex! Better luck next time." "Oh just shut it 'fore I shut it for ya." I headed inside and to class and gave a weak shudder. Dragon Lady was still there. So much for wishes, or exploding apples. She had to be over two million years old already. And yet she just wouldn't go away. Maybe if I could get a bit o' luck I could get her tossed before the end of the school year. FAT CHANCE!!!!! But hey don't we all need a dream?
Around fourth period though a break of luck struck. "Will the following students please report to the Principal's office. Alexis LeBeau, James Drake, Alick Summers, Ally Rasputin, Lisa Wagner, Alexandra Worthington, Angel McCoy, Matt Lee, and Josh and LeeAnne Munroe," Wonder what's going on? I asked them by way of TP. Beats me Alex. Wonder if it's mom? Don't say that LeeAnne! were just a few of the responses I got. There in the door way of the office stood Aunt 'Ro and Momma. "What's up Mom?" Josh asked his blue eyes full of worry. "Your father is ill. We need all of you home immediately." Momma? What's REALY going on? Vacation's commin' early Alex. Your Aunt 'Ro's idea. Kinda surprised that Kazar and Shanna agreed to it but stranger things have happened to this team. Ya mean? Yep. Savage Land. Three whole weeks. I broadcasted this to the other X-Kids as we climbed into the two vehicles they took to get us. "So Dad's ok then?" LeeAnne asked after a while. "Of course he is Lee. Healing factor hello! He can't get sick just like we can't." They just laughed.
I can't believe we really went but we did. It was so cool. Dinosaurs, fights, but best of all the effect it had on Aunt 'Ro. Even after her surgery she was still weak and was unable to much her powers, but after she came home her mutation mutated.
She'd always had limited Telepathy, but after we came home they went full blown. She had amazing range, but poor pinpointing. She had a stronger psychic shield. And her natural healing increased. She was so scared when she started hearing the voices that Uncle Charles, Aunt Jean and Aunt Betsy had to help her gain control. Even then she never had full control....I suppose she never would...no matter what.
