Chapter Four – Not The Brightest Crayon In The Box…

Wow, I really didn't know my own strength. I'd thrown the poor elf across the room. Once I'd done that the guilt had kicked in, that and panic. He was in a heap on the floor and not moving. First thought was – shit! I wasn't listening to the other conversation; if I had I would have understood what was going on, but right now I was trying to revive the little blue fuzz-boy.

"Come on, don't do this to me!" I said more to myself than him. I checked his furry neck and luckily there was still a pulse. Good news - I hadn't killed him, bad news – he was unconscious. I REALLY needed to learn how to control my temper. "Oh for God's sake wake up!"

 I tilted his head up to look closely and I felt the velvety softness of his fur, he was kinda cute in a fuzzy way. I didn't have much more time to contemplate this as Short Dark And Hairy took elf-boy out of my hands. I watched as he was taken over to the bed thing that I was on earlier. I got up off the floor and walked over, feeling incredibly guilty.

"Damn elf, he should have known better," I tried to convince myself.

"Well it was YOU who threw him across the room…" Shorty oh-so-helpfully informed me.

"Shut it, shortarse!" I snapped, ohhh that got him riled. With that glare I should have died on the spot!

"Please, children! This is not helping anyone," the one who I would come to know as Beast said gently. My attention was dragging away from the dwarf by a pained groan. I looked to see that Fuzz-boy was coming around.

"V-vhat happened?" he sat up and rubbed his head. I wasted no time in hugging him tightly, but not too tight.

"You bloody elf! When I say move, move!" I told him as his hands came to rest on my back.

"I vill learn to do that from now on," he chuckled. Thank god he was good-humoured about it. "My name is Kurt, not 'Elf'."

"Well, Kurt, I'm sorry for throwing you across the room, I didn't even know I could do that," I said and kissed his furry cheek; it was like kissing a soft bunny or something. I sure if he could have blushed he would have done by the look on his face. "Aw, you're so cute!" I couldn't resist saying it.

"Um, thank you, I suppose," Kurt scratched the back of his head with a smile.

"Now that you have calmed yourself, perhaps you would like some answers," Beast spoke gently to me and gestured for me to follow him. Before I left Kurt's side I ruffled his blue hair playfully, eliciting a smile from the fuzzy Dracula. It suddenly occurred to me that I wasn't actually daunted by his appearance. Had I thought this was real from the moment I woke up, I probably would have been terrified of the demon-come-bunny.

 I followed Beast across the room to brightly lit boards were x-rays hung, little did I know that these were my x-rays. Since I happened to be doing a degree in biology I actually knew what I was looking at, but there was something wrong with it and I couldn't put my finger on it. There was something wrong with the bones and the structure.

"These are your x-rays," Beast told me, I was a little shocked to say the least. "Your bones are hollow and are strengthened, and I think I know the reason for this."

"And that is… " I asked. He pointed to two lumped deformities in my skeleton.

"I believe you are going to grow wings, although to mutate this late in your life is extremely unusual." What the hell do I say to that? Here kid, you're on a planet full of freaks and oh guess what, you're growing wings. There's only one thing to say.

"Well, fuck me."

"Is that a statement or an invitation?" came the voice of the girl who was occupying the bed next to me, no longer strapped down but sitting upright and smiling at me. I just shrugged, a bit numbed by the whole experience.

"Take it any way you like," I replied flippantly.

"Uh, I think I'll stick with the statement if that's okay with you, don't know about the other three though, they look like they're up for anything," she grinned. The three looks of shock we received were just classic! It was a Kodak moment! Especially Kurt, his jaw was practically on the floor with such a suggestion.

"Well, if they insist," I winked at the elf and he blinked slowly and that blushing look came again.

"Uhm, I think I vill, uh, go and find the Professor," and with that nervous ramble of a sentence he teleported himself out of the room.

"Oh the effect I have on men – elves – whatever," I grinned.

*^*^*^*^*^*

I saw Kurt bamf out of the room, leaving a brimstone smell after him. Damn, that stuff really stinks. I turned back to the three way conversation.

"So what you're saying is that we're mutants and that we have mutations. She's gonna grow wings and has hollow bones and all that, but what the hell is my power then?"

"Well, from what we saw earlier and from some of the tests I have come to the conclusion that you have telekinetic and telepathic powers" Beast said.

As the information sunk in a grin spread over my face. The girl who had thrown Kurt across the room looked at me oddly. I decided to try my power out, well do my best at it that is… I focused on sending her a thought.

*Don't look like that at me. I'm not the one who's gonna have wings, you know.*

Her mouth opened to say something, but she closed it after she had a mental offer. She raised her eyebrow and I nodded.

"Deal! But before that, mind telling me your name?" she said.

"Sure, I'm Rose."

"Belinda" she answered.

'Belinda, where have I heard that before? It's not a common name. Wait, it can't be… it's a long shot, but what the hell. Anything is possible. After all, I am in the X-men universe' I thought.

"Belinda, huh? You don't happen to go under the alias 'Aspiring Elf Girl' on the net, do ya?

She looked at me confused.

"Yeah, why? How did you know?" she said.

I just smiled. No wonder she was suspicious, we had never met in real life.

"Follow your heart…" that was all I said, hoping that she would figure it out on her own. First she just looked really confused by my statement, but I think she caught on. After a little while that is. No offence to her, but she's not always the brightest crayon in the box.

"Rose, is that you? But it can't be!"

"Hey, remember where we are and what we apparently are…"

"How do I know that it really is you?"

"For once, you have an obsession with a certain blond elf" I said. I couldn't really come up with something else.

"So… " she said with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Remember the last time we talked…"

"If we indeed did talk."

"Fine, anyhow. I mentioned an old man and my pendant. And I told you what he said."

"Let's assume that you did tell me that. What did the old man look like and what did he say?

"He was a blind old man, looked like a beggar and he told me to follow my heart. Oh, and he gave me the pendant I lost when I was 14."

Belinda's eyes widened. Then she ran over and hugged me. Hugged me real good…

"Belinda… Can't breathe…"

"Oh, sorry" she said releasing me with a smile plastered on her face.

"So you believe me, huh..."

"Yup!"

"Good"

We were just about to engage in a conversation when Kurt and the Professor came in.

"I see we are getting along just fine here" the Professor said. "You two look like you have known each other for a long while."

"Maybe because we have. Well, sort of at least" I said looking over to Belinda.

"Vat do you mean 'sort of'?" Kurt asked.

"Well, you see fuzzy elf, me and Rose here have known each other for about six months. Isn't that right Rose?"

"Yup!" I said.

"How have you known each other for half a year when you didn't even recognize each other?" Logan wondered.

"Ever heard of this new thing called 'the internet'…" I said dryly. All I got as a reply was a growl.

"Yeah yeah yeah…" I said to him as I rolled my eyes. You'd guess I'd learned my lesson, but no! I just HAD to tick him off. He had been leaning towards the wall, watching everything before Kurt and the professor came in. Now I had once again managed to piss him off and he was about to attack me but he didn't.

'He didn't attack me… I guess 'Chuck' calmed him down.'

*I wouldn't do that again if I were you* the professor said into my mind.

You know, when I think about it, it didn't seem that weird to me that I was having a mental conversation. I still didn't truly believe I was in the X-men universe, but I think I accepted it as some sort of dream or tried to come up with something that made sense. Just like my luck that it didn't.

*Do what? If you mean being annoying, then that's gonna be a bit of a problem* I responded over the telepathic link he had set up.

*Why is that?*

*Cuz that's just who I am. Just ask Belinda. She'll confirm it. I have a god given gift to annoy people* I said, no thought with a smile.

*Just don't push your luck* he said.

*I can't promise anything, but I'll do what I can.*

"Now, can one of you tell me where you came from and what you are doing here?" the professor said.

"Who's the baldy bean?" Belinda asked me.

"That happens to be Professor Charles Xavier, dumbass."

All I got in response was an "Oh…" followed by an "OH!"

"You mean he's professor X, right."

"Right"

"That means that they're the X-men, right" she said pointing to Logan, Beast and Kurt.

"Yup"

"I see" she said nodding slowly.

"Can we get on with this?" Logan asked.

"Right… My conclusion of this whole thing is that we're from another timeline or an alternative universe or something like that. As for why we're here, I haven't the slightest clue" I said. "But for some reason we ended up at the X-mansion and we suddenly have mutations to top it off."

A/N: So, now that you've read the chapter we (me and Aspiring Elf Girl) would love to hear what you think about it. And now, responses to the reviewers!

Letanica – Well, I am a psychic... ;)

Zara the Pirate – do calm down. We're very glad that you are so excited about this story, but there is no need to jump us, now is there… As for what happens? Well, you'll just have to wait and see. But I can say one thing, I'm very sure it will be to your liking. Or so we hope…

That Swedish guy – Why thank you! It's very nice to hear that the only bad thing about ones story is that it takes too long for it too update. But we'll try to better us! And remember, reviews do encourage us to write more.  ;)

Darkthedestroyer – well, I'm not using my hypnotic suggestion now. We'll just see is you review anyway or not...

Silvergryfin – Logan is one of my favourite X-men too, but that doesn't stop me from pissing him off. Guess that means that 'Rose' has a death wish doesn't it… and they do know better than to piss him off, but they can't help is since the oh so mighty authors want them to piss him and other X-men off. Why, you might ask. Because we do it for your entertainment, that's why.

Belladonna Bloom – For the last time, Mest is an okay band. Now stop mentioning them all the time! Jeez, when you say 'the other thing', you do mean the person I think you mean, right? You know, *her*, the annoying one.
