Wow! Sorry I haven't updated in Oh-so-Long! But my muse has been
interrupted and disturbed by the LACK OF REVIEWS!
------====---===--------========---------------===========---------
=========-------=====----=
On another note, I am considering terminating TROUBLED TEENS because of the
LACK OF INTEREST. Seeing as I only have 9 reviews and one of them in MINE,
I think it's probably going to be the decision. No one will miss it!!!
Except me.
So thanks to the eight real reviews!
Kurt stared silently out the kitchen window at the rising sun. He had woken up an hour earlier with a craving for a snack and had been unable to sleep since then. Something was bugging him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. His mind kept drifting back to the Danger Room session they'd had the day before. It had been Dawn's first session, and Professor Xavier wanted to see how well she could control her powers.
"What do I do?" asked Dawn timidly. After the incident at the mall, she was wary about using her powers around others.
"Just give us a demonstration of your abilities." Came Logan's gruff reply. He had a bemused smile on his face. "We're going to have an obstacle course set up in there. Just yell if you get hurt."
Dawn looked frightened at this.
"Don't vorry!" Piped up Kurt. "No vone's died in.vaht? Nine Months? You'll be fine." He and Evan cracked up at the sight of Dawn's face.
By this time they'd reached the Danger Room.
"Whenever you're ready, Dawn." Professor Xavier's voice filled their heads. Dawn inhaled deeply and stepped into the room. She gave them the signal, and at once many obstacles surrounded her. She started to run through them, weaving her way in and out of danger, barely missing getting hit by a small laser gun. She drew her power to her fingertips and fired at the gun. A direct hit!
"She's doing pretty well for someone who has problems controlling her powers." Pointed out Scott from the control room.
They all watched as she demolished obstacle after obstacle. Soon she was just a few feet from the end. She had come against the final challenge: motion detectors that fired on sight. She attempted to weave her way through like the rest when she tripped on a piece of rock. She flipped forward, only to have four of the guns take aim at her. She could only yelp before they fired at her. Logan stopped the simulation and rushed down to help her.
"You all right, Sparks?" he asked Dawn calmly, who was curled up in a little ball on the ground.
"Yeah, I'm fine" came a feeble reply. Dawn stood up and looked at him suspiciously. "What did you call me?"
Logan grunted. "Sparks. Everyone around here has a codename and a nickname. Rogue is Stripes, Evan is Porcupine, and you're Sparks. Do you have a codename?"
Dawn pondered this for a moment before confidently answering, "Shocker. I'm Shocker."
Kurt wasn't quite sure why this had been stuck in his head all day. They'd all gone through their first training session and none of them had bugged him this much. Maybe it was because Dawn was different than the others. Everyone was afraid of her, but they'd at least gotten used to her in the three days she'd been with them. Well, actually Rogue had become a friend to her almost instantly.
'Maybe it's sort of an 'outcast' thing.' He thought. Rogue had friends, but she was sort of against society. Like she thought the idea of fitting in was inconceivable.
Kurt looked down at his watch. It was almost 6:00. Some of the others would be getting up soon. He decided to head back to his room and pretend he'd been sleeping.

So that's chapter six. PLEASE REVIEW, OR ELSE I'LL B FORCED TO END TROUBLED TEENS! I KNOW A LOT OF YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT ANYWAY, BUT IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME!!! ;)
