Chapter 6: Week One Part 3
~*~ -That Night at Dinner- ~*~
Everyone was seated at the long dinner table eating their supper. The Prof was at the head of the table of course, next Scott and Jean were next to each other, and across from them Kurt, Angie, and Rogue were sitting with each other, and lastly Hank and Ororo were seating across from each other having their own conversation; Logan was no where to be found. The hot topic of the evening was the remarkable Danger Room session Angie had taken a part of earlier that day. Sure, it was nothing compared to what the X-Men could do, but it was very astonishing for a newbie like Angelica.
"Zat vas amazing, Angie!" Kurt cried out. "You have zuch an incredible ability! You and I should definitely run a session togezer. We can see who iz zhe stealthiest in zhe dark." he nudged Angie playfully and took a big bite out of one of the Gut-Bomb burgers on his plate.
"Haha! Thanks Kurt! I'll definitely take you up on that offer sometime!" Angie agreed. "I loved the whole experience! It was all so exciting!" she took a bite of her lasagna.
"Well, that's pretty much the life of an X-Man. Excitement every other day." Rogue drawled in her ever charismatic accent, picking at her chicken.
Angie chuckled at her buddy's anti-enthusiasm, "You guys must have so much fun. Going on missions and saving the world."
"Well it's not a walk in the park you know," Scott admitted. "I mean, we stick our necks out for people who sometimes want to kill us, even AFTER we save their lives."
"Yeah, and we've been in a lot of situations where we thought we'd never live to see another day again." Jean added.
"Well, of course, with the good comes the bad. That's with everything ya guys." Angie explained, "I mean at first, I sure as hell didn't want to be a mutant. After everything that I've been through up until then, it was the last thing I needed; and I still don't think I've fully accepted it yet. But now, now that I'm here with you guys, it all seems alright. It's just given me a new perspective on things. And... I'm coping" she hastily tucked her head down and ate another bite of her lasagna.
It took a moment for her words to sink in, but after a while of silence the Prof declared, "Well, we're more than happy to have you here Angelica" he smiled.
Angie looked up, "Thanks, Professor." And gave him one of her heart-warming smiles.
"Well, since we're on the matter, I must agree with Kurt, your run today was very impressive Angelica. It was more than we expected," the Prof continued, lightening the mood.
"I aim to please!" Angie said with a smirk. "And you know, to be honest, I was nervous the entire time! I felt my heart pounding like a million beats per second!" she laughed.
"Well, that's probably because it was." Hank interjected.
"What? I was just kidding Dr. McCoy." Angie was bewildered.
"And I was serious. Due to your mutation, your metabolism as well as your entire system have been put into a kind of overdrive. It's the cause for your advanced agility, speed, senses, and healing factor" Hank concluded.
"Wow girl, your just the average Wonder Woman aren't ya?" Rogue smirked.
Angie laughed, "Yeah, sure, now I just need to learn how to fly and I'll be set."
Everyone chuckled at Angie's statement, finishing their meals in delight.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*~ -Wednesday, afternoon- ~*~
"I have muscles hurting right now that I never even knew I had." Angie complained.
"You'll get used to it, Fraulein. Trust me." Kurt tried to cheer her up.
"So do we have to train like this every single day, or is this just some kind of hell week for me?" Angie wanted the latter to be the truth for her sore body's sake.
"Don't flatter yourself, hun. It's like this EVERY day." Rogue filled her in.
The trio were walking up to their rooms, they had just finished another daily Danger Room session. This time around though, Angie got to participate with the X-Men. Although she was not yet a member, Storm had suggested due to the number of absent members, it would be helpful to have Angie train with them. She also added, "It will give her a better sense of teamwork and dignity." What Storm left out was it would also make her feel as sore as never before! But Angie couldn't complain too much, she loved the dangerous exercises and the rush she got from them, her body just had to get used to it.
"Angie, did Logan ever get you that case of Heineken you won from zhe bet yesterday?" Kurt inquired.
"Ha! I wish. The Prof pulled me aside last night after dinner and gave me this nice little lecture on how the mansion and its grounds are a school, and on school property such beverages are not admitted, and blah, blah, blah..."
"But you're 19! That should be more zhan legal in this country!" Kurt protested. "Back home kids start learning how to drink long before they even learn how to walk!"
They all laughed.
"I wish I could have grown up in Germany. That would've been sweet" Angie stated. "But you know? It's all good, cause I can see where the Prof is coming from. I mean, we're the older crowd in the mansion and if we set a bad example for the little ones then we're not doing our job right, don't cha think?"
"She's gotta point there" Rogue agreed.
Kurt was a little unsatisfied, "Yeah, I guess you're right. But I still think us elders should get a break or two once in a vhile!"
Once again they chuckled.
When the trio got to Kurt's room Angie asked, "Oh! Kurt, could you help me later with my bags and stuff. The Prof assigned me a room today and I need some help moving my things," she paused. "EXTRA help now, with all this aching."
Kurt chuckled, "No problem, Angie. I'll be zhere in a couple of minutes."
"Thanks Kurt." Angie and Rogue made their way to Rogue's room.
"You could've just asked me to help ya." Rogue argued.
"True, but your bro can just 'bamf' my stuff lickaty-split," Angie snapped her fingers.
Rogue side-eyed Angie, "lazy."
Angie just kept on looking forward, "No, I'm sore."
Both girls giggled to their room.
~*~ -That Night- ~*~
There was a new moon out that night, everything was dark. It was around 2am, everything was quiet, and everyone asleep in their beds. Everyone, except Angie, she was savoring her new huge king-sized bed, in her new huge room. ~aaaah, this is the life~ she was so giddy, she couldn't sleep. She was just lying there relishing the moment, when she suddenly heard something outside. Her head snapped towards her window, she saw something pass by her balcony. ~Uh, oh.~ To her much disliking, she hopped out of her comfy bed and headed towards her balcony. She looked outside in the direction of where what-ever-it-was went. Nothing. ~Should I?~ With a knot in her stomach, Angie opened her glass-window doors and stepped out to her balcony. There was a cool breeze that night, crickets were chirping and the darkness was inviting. Angie leaned against the balcony railing looking down onto the immense backyard. There was the pool/jacuzzi, the tennis courts, the grassy field, and the vast woodland around it all. It was the woods that got her attention, they seemed so alluring, so tempting...
*WHOOSH!*
Something passed by below Angie. ~What the-?! I KNEW there was something outside!~ She hid most of her body behind the railing, sneakily looking over enough to see a figure in the dark making its way to another part of the mansion, more specifically: Rogue's room. ~Well, if I'm already out here, I might as well go with it.~ She jumped over the railing landing stealthily on the grass. ~Good thing I'm wearing flannels.~ She carefully followed her prey's footsteps making sure she wasn't noticed. Hiding in the shadows, she watched the mysterious figure make their way up to Rogue's balcony. ~What should I do?!~ Angie hesitated. The figure was about to open Rogue's window when...
*BEEP!*BEEP!*BEEP!*BEEP!*BEEP!*BEEP!*BEEP!*BEEP!*BEEP!*BEEP!*
Alarms started going off left and right. Red flashing lights could be seen everywhere. ~What the hell???~ Angie saw the figure bolt for a get-away, "Oh, heeeeells no!" She chased after him. He ran and she followed. He started making his way around the side of the mansion, this gave Angie an idea. She unleashed her claws and immediately leapt up the side of the mansion and quickly made her way up to the roof, she lost sight of her quarry but could still smell him. She ran across the roof and leapt over the front edge of the mansion. As she had anticipated, she beat her target to the front of the building. With alarms going crazy all around, she started making her way back around the building in order to come face to face with the intruder. ~Where the hell IS everyone?!~ She sensed someone she didn't know chasing her from behind, ~how did he get behind me?!~ She raised her leg and kicked behind herself, kicking someone down to the ground. They were obviously caught off guard. Angie turned around to see a young man in a long brown trench coat uncomfortably "sitting" on the ground, giving her an unpleased looked. He was cute, but what got her attention were his eyes: black with red pupils.
Rubbing his stomach, "Damn petite, you gave Gambit one hell of a kick" the stranger muttered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Oooooooh!!! Gambit's in the picture! I wonder what he was doing on the school grounds at 2-O-clock in the freakin' morning!?! LOL! We'll find out in the soon to come next chapter!!!
