Disclaimer: Thanks again for the wonderful reviews. Anyway, what I'm really working on is not to make this story a Mary-sue. If I did, please inform me right away, because I hate Mary-sues myself. So please read and review and remember flames are welcome from now on.
Chapter 7: Making FriendsXavior told Storm to bring me to my dormitory. When she led me down the hallway, I started to bring up a conversation.
"So, how long have you been here?" I replied.
Storm looked at me. "About eight years."
"Wow, aren't you bored of here then?" I said.
Storm smiled a little from my saying. "No, when you're an X-Men things are not so boring."
I looked at her with a puzzled expression before I started to ask questions.
"What do you do as a X-Men?" I said.
"Well for one thing we try to make humans understand that mutants are not dangerous and would like to live in this world at peace." Storm answered.
I started to get confused. Why isn't that boring?
"Uh, that sounds boring to me." I say.
Storm just shook her head chuckling a bit.
"When you find out what it's like to be a X-Men I'm sure you would like to be one." Storm told.
I rolled my eyes but then stopped. What if she's right?
"How do you become a X-Men?" I replied.
"Well first you have to go through steps. For a starter like you, you'll have to start by practicing in the danger room. If we see you're powerful enough to help us, you join the X-Men once you're finished with school." Storm explained.
"What's the danger room?" I questioned.
"It's a place where you practice controlling and using your powers against others. Sometimes you work as a team with other students or practice on your own. But don't worry, you won't get killed. And once you pass the first level, it gets harder and harder." Storm answered.
I wonder what the danger room would look like. It sounds fun to me.
"Why is it called the danger room?" I said.
"Because it could get dangerous sometimes, for instants, if a creature comes at you and you miss hitting it, you could get hurt. Or if a student accidentally misses shooting a creature, it could probably hit another student. But don't you worry, all you have to do is stay focused." Storm explained.
"What kind of creatures are there?" I replied.
"Some are like regular animals, others may look like a alien to you. But it depends on what level you get to fight a certain creature." Storm mentioned.
"Will I get to go to the danger room?" I say.
"Of coarse, every mutant has to. It's how you learn how to manage with your powers or join the X-Men some day. All the kids love the danger room, but they're not afraid of fighting with creatures. Someone new like you could get a little frightened at first, but when it's over, you feel like doing it again." Storm said.
I smiled a bit. Maybe staying here isn't so bad after all. Suddenly I felt as if I was proud of being a mutant. It was as if I never would feel like calling myself a freak. My smile grew wider. I didn't push that feeling away, I felt good about it.
I looked over at Storm who was staring at me with a smile across her face too.
"Thanks." I say.
"Your welcome." Storm answered back.
As I started to climb some stairs we passes about four doors until Storm stopped at one.
"This is where you'll be staying with Rogue, not to mention with Jubilee too." Storm explained to me.
She knocked on the door and I heard some movements walking around the room to get towards the door.
"By the way, don't touch Rogue, her mutation is quite dangerous." Storm advised.
I didn't feel scared at all, it was as if this was normal to me.
Soon the door opened revealing a girl who looked about sixteen with white hair on her long bangs and brown on the rest of it.
"Hey Storm." The girl said.
"Debra this is Rogue also known as Marie, Marie this is Debra the new student I told you about." Storm introduced.
"Hi." I greeted shyly. I'm not very good at meeting strangers.
"Oh hi! Come on in. I've heard all about ya so you don't have to tell me about' yur self." Rogue said.
She opened the door wider for me to come in, and Storm said goodbye and walked off.
I entered inside and saw some Japanese girl on a bed reading a magazine. She looked up at me and quickly got off the bed to meet me.
"Hi, I'm Jubilee, you must be the new girl Xavior was talking about." Jubilee told.
"Yeah, I guess I am." I answered.
"Come on, let me show ya to yur bed and closet." Rogue advised.
I followed her and saw a comfortable bed with green sheets and green pillows. Next to it was a bed table which was the color of wood instead and a closet inside the wall with room to fit a whole person inside. As I opened the closet, it was big enough to fit me in there. And what surprised me was there was already clothes in there for me. They were almost completely green. Others were purple or black. There were winter clothes and summer kinds. Everything that I needed was in there. Also there was a drawer filled with all the extra things I needed. Like make-up, school supplies jewelry and so on. Most of them were green also and purple and black.
Over on the right side of the closet was a small mirror hanging up on the wall and the outline was green too.
Also on the side where the door was at, to the left was a bathroom for Rogue, Jubilee and me.
I got excited, how did they know I liked green? Not to mention purple and black too.
"How did you guys know I like these colors and supplies?" I said excitedly.
"I'm not sure, maybe the professor did, after all he is psychic." Jubilee guessed.
Well of course, I thought. How else?
"Believe me it sure is fun to stay here, sometimes ya get free things and extra fun time." Rogue mentioned.
I smiled, I was really happy to be here, but then a thought came over me.
"Is Wolverine always violent?" I said with fear.
Rogue and jubilee looked a shocked. It was as if whatever I said wasn't true.
"No way! He's the best person you could ever meet! But he is a bit violent but in a good way!" Jubilee said.
"Yeah, what made you say that?" Rogue told.
"Well, when I first met him he was very... violent with me. He stabbed me one time and not to mention made me fall down a tree and almost break my neck." I replied.
Again, Jubilee and Rogue were shocked. I didn't even think they believed me.
"Weren't you hurt? You could have ended up dead!" Jubilee exclaimed.
"Well I could heal faster you know." I said.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that. Xavior told us about your powers." Jubilee told.
Hold up, what was my powers?
"What's my powers?" I say.
"Oh, the professor mustn't have told you yet. Well what he told Rogue and me was that you had the power to create electricity and control it. You're other power is to heal. Stryker made you have adamantium and have the agility and all that." Jubilee explained.
Wow, that's some powers I got there.
"Anyway, don't worry Debra, as soon as ya get to know Wolverine you'll start to like him." Rogue advised.
Yeah right, I thought. I bet you have never felt what it's like to get stabbed from someone.
"Hey it's lunch time now, ya wanna come with us? Ya could hang out with me and Bobby." Rogue advised.
"Sure I'd love to." I answered back.
Once we started heading out to lunch I started to realize that I could be making friends already.
Well this chapter really isn't with much action, but soon all the action will take place. I hope you like this chapter though, but please review!
