Chapter 13: Bobby's Family
The ride seemed to take forever. I heard that we were heading to Boston because Jean and Storm were heading that way too.
I never have been to Boston before; I never planned to visit there even. I wonder what it's like there?
As we were riding in the car, John said something about how he doesn't like uncomfortable silences and he started to mess with the radio. Some sort of song came on and all of us started to whine even me, until John pressed a different button and some sort of cell phone looking thing came out.
"I don't think that's the CD player." John said.
I rolled my eyes, what a jerk.
Wolverine took that thing and started to mess with it. It did seem like a phone or some sort of communicator to me.
I ignored everything else because it didn't seem important to me and went back to my relaxing.
I didn't know what happened, I might have fallen asleep for that I soon heard the car stop and a large house came into view. I heard that we have arrived in Boston and I thought it was Bobby's house for that during the ride Bobby said that his parents lived in Boston.
We got out of the car and once Wolverine started to knock on the door of the house, there was no reply. Wolverine started to ring the doorbell and still there was no answer. I started to realize that no one was home.
"Wait, they always kept a pair of house keys under the mat." Bobby replied.
I saw Bobby reach down under the mat and out came a pair of keys in Bobby's hand. Bobby started the keys at the door and it soon opened revealing a cozy living room.
I walked inside admiring the house and I saw Wolverine enter the kitchen. He probably was looking for a beer because I man like him would be looking for one.
I turned my head and something caught my eye in the living room. It was a picture of Bobby's family. Bobby was in the picture only he looked much younger. His mom and dad were behind him holding his hand. I also saw another little boy looking a little younger than Bobby and I realized that could be his brother.
I smiled, Bobby's family looked very nice, I thought.
I looked up to see a mirror in front of me. I looked back at my reflection and gasped. My hair was a violet color, my eyes were too. My lips were also violet and I checked my nails. They were also violet too! I didn't know how that happened, perhaps from the incident I had with Stryker. But why purple? I knew that the electricity I give away is the color purple. But I also had other colors added to it too. So why wasn't it blue or yellow? Ugh, I really didn't like yellow and blue was a bit too bright for me so perhaps violet was the best. I had to admit I looked pretty good with violet.
I continued to admire my reflection even if I my clothes were a little wet until I heard someone come into the house. I heard some people talking and then I saw them stop at the doorway. They were looking in the kitchen and I guess they were surprised to see Wolverine in there. Those people I suddenly recognized, it was Bobby's mother and brother. Only Bobby's brother was older but I could somehow tell that it was him. His mom looked just about the same from the picture.
I saw someone else come in and he too stopped at the doorway staring inside the kitchen. I knew it was Bobby's father right away for that he really looked like the same as he was in the picture.
I heard Bobby come running down the stairs with Rogue behind him wearing a new outfit. How come I don't get new outfits, mine are still a little wet, I thought. That really didn't matter to me now for that I heard Bobby say something to his family.
I soon saw John over on the other side of the room looking at Bobby's family photos and flicking his lighter at the same time.
Not quite later Bobby's family came in the living room with Rogue, Bobby and Wolverine behind them. I started to back a little away from Wolverine again. He was holding a beer bottle and I thought he might get drunk any minute.
Bobby's family saw me, John and seemed surprised by the way I looked perhaps and that I was in there own living room, same with John I guess.
Bobby told his parents that John and me were a student from the school he went to. I saw Bobby's family sit on the couch and I sat down too along with Bobby, Rogue and John. Wolverine just stood there.
I soon heard Bobby say that he was a mutant and that he didn't go to a prep school but to a mutant school. He also said that me; John, Rogue and Wolverine were mutants too. His parents were shocked and I was surprised to see that they didn't start calling him a freak or any other bad names. I guess my family had some sort of problem.
Bobby's mom was the first one to speak after a long silence. "Have you tried not being a mutant?"
I heard John say something but I wasn't paying any attention at all. I was looking over at Bobby's brother and from the look on his face, I knew that he was jealous. I saw him clench his jaw as if trying to hold himself from yelling. I didn't understand why he had to act this way but I soon saw him look over at Bobby and I tuned my head to see what had caught his attention.
Bobby had touched the teacup his mother was holding by his fingertips and saw the tea turn into ice. I smiled at that, but then it faded when I saw Bobby's brother stand up and walk away up to the stairs.
I shook my head, how jealous could that guy be?
"This is all my fault." Bobby's mother said.
I looked over to see that John was explaining that it wasn't her fault but Bobby's father. I didn't listen anymore for that I sensed something wrong. Wolverine did too because from the look on his face. He just ignored it until he heard a phone ringing.
I looked to see who's phone it was but soon I saw Wolverine take out that object I saw in the car and I knew that it was a phone.
I saw Wolverine go out back and saw him talking to someone, maybe one of the X-Men. I soon felt relieved, I want to get away from this house as soon as I can for that I started to sense something wrong again.
I soon saw Wolverine come back in ordering us to leave.
"Why? What's wrong." Rogue said worriedly.
I paid no attention to her; I just followed Bobby for that he too was following Wolverine. I kept a short distance from Wolverine afraid that he was starting to get drunk already.
When we stepped out the front door, I saw police cars out front. I didn't know why but then it suddenly hit me. Bobby's brother probably went upstairs to call the police! But why would he do that to his own brother?
I soon realized that Bobby figured that out too for that he told everyone what was the problem.
I saw two police officers at our side, a woman on my right and a man on my left telling us to put our hands behind the wall. Wolverine stuck out his claws and fear soon over took me. Just seeing those claws brought back memories to me from the woods.
"Put the knives down!" Said one of the police officers.
"This is all a misunderstanding." Wolverine answered.
"Put the knives down!" Repeated the police officer.
"I can't, look." Wolverine held up his claws and soon I heard a gunshot fire. It hurt my ear because of such good hearing I had. I looked down to see Wolverine fall down quickly and I realized there was a bullet in his head. For the first time in my life, I felt sorry for him. I didn't know why but I didn't seem to put that feeling away.
"All right the rest of you, on the ground!" Said one of the police officer.
I slowly went on the ground and so did Bobby and Rogue while John just stood there.
"Look kid I said on the ground!" Repeated the police officer to John.
"We don't want to hurt you kid." Said the female officer.
John looked at me to Rogue then Bobby and finally to Wolverine. He had a look on his face that I couldn't tell but it started to scare me.
"You know those dangerous mutants you hear on the news?" John explained.
"I'm the worst one." And with that he opened his lighter and out came a blaze of fire hitting the male police officer.
He turned around and hit the female officer too and started to hit the police cars. He had a smile on his face as if enjoying the trouble he was doing.
I just stared opened mouth with shock crossed over my face. Why was John doing this?
Soon more police cruisers came and John started to fire at them too. I saw Rogue take out her white glove and touch John's feet.
All of a sudden John stopped bursting out fire and I saw Rogue move her other hand like she was trying to make the fire disappear, which she really was.
Suddenly, Wolverine got up popping his neck with the bullet on his head on the floor. Of course, I almost forgot, Wolverine had the ability to heal.
I seemed relieved and that started to confuse me until I saw a jet come into the clearing. It was blue and I have never seen one that looked like that before.
Wolverine started to walk towards the jet and so did Rogue, Bobby and John who seemed to be in a little bit of pain.
The jet opened and everyone walked in while Bobby stared at his family one last time. I turned to see that they were staring at us from a window on the second floor with fright and shock across their faces.
I turned away and entered the jet to see Jean and Storm up front where the pilot should be seated. I never knew that they could fly a jet.
I also saw a blue man with weird clothes on him and having a devils tail.
"Who the hell are you?" Wolverine questioned to the blue man.
"My name is Kurt Vagner (It's Wagner but with his accent and stuff) but in the circus I vas known as the incredible NightCrawler." Kurt explained.
"Yeah save it." Wolverine answered before Kurt could continue.
Kurt looked at Wolverine as if he was being rude, but Wolverine paid no attention to him.
I sat on a chair and put on my seat belt. Soon I felt the jet start to lift off the ground and I waited patiently for where we were headed to next.
Wow, that was the longest chapter I have done so far, and I hope it's not the last! So please read and review everyone!
