I Am My Own Worst Enemy
Understanding Each Other
Kitty nearly phased through the floor, Jean could have broken all the windows in the institute with the sudden burst in her mind, Scott just barely caught his glasses before they fell off, Kurt jumped on Evan who shot ten spikes out of his back, and Rogue nearly fainted.
"But Prof." Jean began,
"Now Jean, and this goes for the rest of you," Prof. Xavier stated calmly, "You will treat her like you do each other, as a part of our family. I will explain the details of our newest member once we get down to the basement," With a slight nod from the Prof., the men hopped into their truck, and disappeared into the distance.
The Prof. wheeled himself to the main computer system, while the X- men took another step back away from the cage on the ground. He pressed a button on the screen, and an elevator from underneath the cage carried Hecate downstairs.
"Follow me to the Danger Room," the Prof. motioned for his students to follow him. They followed very slowly, watching the cage make its way down. They kept their eyes locked on Hecate until they were sure she was all the way down.
They went downstairs, and found themselves in a closed off room with a window made of tempered glass which was held in by metal bars made with diamonds. When Kurt popped into the room, and made sure the door was locked at that nobody could get into the enclosure, the Prof. pressed a button on a panel, which opened Hecate's cage.
The students held their breath waiting for the horn to sound, signaling that the end was near. But nothing flashy happened. Instead, they could see a shadow slowly moving so that it adjusted its position to easily get out of the cage.
Hecate slid one arm out that latched onto the side of the cage, and with all her weight on that arm, brought herself, slowly up and out of the cage. As she stood, the dress slid down her pale legs back over her black shoes, covering her feet. She still clutched that strange book in her right arm. Her hair covered most of her face, but slowly it parted to reveal her face. Her complexion was pale, and her dazed, gray eyes were staring off into the ground, gazing at something that wasn't there. She brought her left hand back to her chest and wrapped it around the book she was clutching. She lifted her eyes to the tempered glass window, and stared.
Everyone in the room, except the Prof. gasped, and jumped back. Although it would seem like she was staring off into the distance, the X- men could see that she was plainly staring at them. Although they did not see, or recognize any emotion in her eyes, they just felt that same cold fear run through their veins.
"Hecate," the Prof.'s mind broke through the ringing silence that was pounding in their ears. Hecate moved her gaze towards where the Prof. was seated, a reaction hearing her own name. That was the first time any of the X-Men ever saw her gaze directly at something.
"I would like to welcome you to the Xavier Institute," the Prof. spoke calmly, and softly, for everyone to hear. He left the telepathy path open for his students to hear Hecate's response.
That only left them with the emptiness of Hecate's mind.
"I can't read her mind at all. There.isn't anything there," Jean shakily replied to the emptiness that filled the rest of the X-men's heads.
Quite suddenly, Hecate dropped down to her knees, and brought her head into her chest so that her mouth was right above the book she was holding. Her lips began to move, but no one could hear her. Then, at that moment the entire Institute gave a shake and felt as if a dinosaur was walking above ground. Her hair began to rise around her, and her dress began to rise and fall slowly, as if a breeze was flying about her. The only thing that they could make out from the sudden thundering was,
"Wyro, Fehu, Hagalaz." Those piercing words shot through the minds of the X-men, despite the soothing voice that was speaking them.
Then, time seemed to have stopped, and the near impossible glass that separated the students and the Prof. from the frightening new-comer, shattered into a thousand tiny pieces. The enclosure crumbled, and a light that was then followed by darkness blinded them.
Out of the deadening silence of the dark came a figure that would have blended well into the dark surrounding had it not been for its own light. The students stared up at the figure that now approached the Prof. in frightening grace. When their blindness finally cleared, the X-men braced themselves for the searing pain of fear that they had come to expect. But when they felt nothing, they opened their eyes in confusion.
Standing in front of the Prof. was Hecate whose eyes were a lighter gray and were no longer in a dazed state. However, they still held no emotion, as her face was also expressionless. The color of her skin had been flushed with a spray of color, and was no longer as pale as the dead.
"I did not appreciate the separation," Hecate stated quite bluntly, "I you wish to speak to me, do so face to face, without the fear,"
Author's note- So how did you guys like the first chapter? I hope you like this series. I thought I might try another type of story after a really bad first fanfic I had In the Fruits Basket section. Apparently a lot of people had a problem with Mary-Sue's and my adding the year of the Phoenix. Well I would just like to say this, my fanfic, my story, I can do whatever the bloody hell I want with it, so if you don't like what I doing to the anime, don't read it. For all of those that were kind enough to post positive reviews, and who liked it, I should have a new chapter up soon.
