Chapter 5
New Recruits
Tommy's Point of View
I was walking toward the Xavier Institute, I was supposed to arrive there today so I can join up with them. I would've joined yesterday…but I had plans. Sharon also accompanied me, she was to become an X-Man today also, or X-Woman, who knows.
Once we arrived at the front doors, Kurt was waiting in his usual sitting position.
"It's avout time you've arrived." He said in his weird accent.
"A nice howdy do to you too Kurt." I said with a bit of humor. He opened the doors for us, and we entered. The whole gang was there. Even Prof. Xavier was present.
"Good afternoon Thomas, and Sharon. Welcome to the X-Men. Are you ready to join us?" The Professor asked.
"Yes" Sharon and I said simultaneously.
"Good, now Scott, please begin the initiation." Xavier said while Hank wheeled him away. Scott approached us in his X-Men uniform, and his unique glasses.
"Okay you two, first of all you must inform everyone of your codename and mutant ability." Scott started off.
"I'll go first." Sharon told me. "My name is Sharon Adkisson, my codename is Claire which is short for Claireavoyance. I have the ability of telepathy."
"My name is Thomas Nelson, codename Drake." I then pulled up my right sleeve to expose my right arm. "My mutation is my right arm is in the likeness of a dragon's."
"Is that it?" Blurted Roberto. "I mean, not only is Kurt have blue fur he can teleport, you can't just have a mutated arm." Now I was mad, but not mad enough to go and kill him.
"Your quite right Robert. I have many more abilities at my disposal, thanks to my Dragon heritage. For instance, you're thinking right now that this is a total waste of your time and that you should be prepping up for your date tonight." I said.
"Hey, you said your arm was mutated, you didn't say you were telepathic!" Roberto said in anger
"It is considered that Dragons have a sixth sense, I now have proven that theory is correct. But I cannot produce flames like Fire Dragons can, I am related to an Ice Dragon." I said.
"Wait how is this possible. Is one of your parents a dragon or what?" Samuel said in confusion.
"Yes that would be very interesting Thomas, but for now, we must rest. We have a big day ahead of us." The Professor announced. Everyone then separated and went into different directions. The professor asked Scott to show us to our rooms, but I told him no need, we can find our way there. I knew this because I read Scott's mind. So Sharon and I headed upstairs to locate our rooms.
Once I found my room, I walked Sharon to hers it was only polite. Once she was situated I went back to my room and unpacked everything I had. I had at least a million books about Dragons, most were fiction and fantasy novels. I also had marvelous pictures of Dragons hanging around my room. In a way, it made my room very colorful. After awhile I got bored and decided to see how Sharon fared.
When I arrived at her door, I knocked to see if she was in.
"Come in!" She said. So I entered.
"Oh, hi Tom, I was just about to practice on my piano." As I saw she was about to start playing.
"Sorry if I was disturbing you." I said.
"No, no you weren't. I was just thinking about you actually." She said with a cute smile.
"Y-You were, why? Did I do something stupid?" I said trying to bring up a joke.
"No, you weren't being stupid, but you just stood out in my mind." She said.
Is it because you know that I can speak through thought? I asked her telepathically.
…Yes, at least now we can talk in private. She told me.
"Why would you want to talk priv…oh. No you don't, do you?" I asked, and she nodded.
"Well, this is new." I said with a hint of excitement. As I sat on her bed, she came over and sat next too me, a little too close. We looked upon one another and I just gazed into her eyes. They were the colors of a forest. A dull green was seen mixed in with brown, in a way it reminded me of the forest, which was very relaxing.
"What?" She asked in a dull tone.
"Nothing, I was just looking at your eyes." I replied. She then slowly took off my glasses with both her hands. And just stared.
