X X X
"So is A.P. your real name?" Rogue asked while A.P. was stuffing her mouth full of food and downing it with bottle after bottle of water. A.P. stopped chewing the multiple different kinds of food in her mouth when she heard the question before shaking her head no. "So what's your real name and how did you get A.P.?"
Her real name? She hadn't said or bean addressed by it for years. She always associated it with the normal life. The life that she had once lived before anything had happened to her. A wave of sadness and longing rushed over her as she gulped down the food.
"Jamie," she said quietly "And my friend named me A.P. after I got my powers." A.P. couldn't believe the words that were bursting through her lips. She never even talked to herself about her past.
"What's it mean?" Bobby asked in curiosity.
"All Powerful," she stated plainly. Rogue and Bobby stared at her for moment letting the name sink in. A.P. could have laughed at there dumbfounded faces.
"Are you really all powerful?" A.P. put on a sly smirk and raised an eyebrow, letting them draw their own conclusions to the question. Rogue opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by a girl walking through the door.
"Oh my god! Rogue I have been looking everywhere for you. Is that like rumor true and…" the girl stopped and stared open mouthed at A.P. "Oh my gosh! Are you that girl that so totally beat up John!?"
"Kitty you-,"
"Rogue shhh! I'm trying to talk to the new girl that everyone is talking about," she turned back to A.P. who was staring wide eyed at the girl who seemed like she could talk forever. "So did you really beat up John?" after she had said it she took a good look at A.P. and took a step back. "Whoa, talk about a fashion emergency. Is that the best you have? Ohh!" She started to bounce up and down on the balls of her feet and started clapping like an excited little kid, "I have to ask Jean if all of us can go shopping! And it is no wonder you are wearing sweatpants," she walked over taking the candy bar out of A.P.'s hand and substituting it with an apple, "You should really eat this instead it's less fattening."
Leaving it at that she ran back through the door. After a moment of silence A.P. spoke up, "That is possible the most annoying person I ever met." Bobby threw his head back in laughter half because of all Kitty had said and half because he knew exactly how A.P. had felt.
"Kitty," Rogue said you'll get used to her."
"Well I hate to disappoint you but I don't plan on being around here that long." Bobby and Rogue looked a little taken aback by the statement.
"Why is that?"
"Well I'm not exactly a people person. But I will go with the free food and bed thing for a while," she talked with a bit of rudeness in her voice. With a past of bad happenings and being on her own it came instinctively to push people away. No matter who they were or what they did she never got attached or started to like anyone.
Suddenly Kitty stuck her head through the wall and started talking again. "You had better watch out new girl John is coming and he is pretty mad."
"Sorry I'm not all that terrified," A.P. replied sarcastically.
"John gets pretty mad," Rogue warned. The second that Rogue stopped talking the door burst open and the angry John burst into the kitchen. John walked over to A.P. flicking his lighter. A.P. continued to munch nonchalantly on the bag of chips in front of her. "Look I'm really not in the mood for a fight. Okay?"
John squeezed his lighter in anger and balled his hands into fists at his sides. "Well if you are talking about a fight with me then it really isn't your decision."
A.P. jumped from the bar stool she was sitting on and stared right at John. "If you are that hungry for a fight I suggest you go somewhere else. I am not in the mood," her tone was low and calm to match John's own.
John opened his mouth to respond but Bobby spoke up inn fear of what either of them might do, "You know, you guys could probably get along with John saving your life and all."
"Saving my life!!!" A.P. was outraged by this making Bobby instantly regret opening his mouth.
"Yeah and to think I thought you might have been grateful for it!"
"GRATEFUL! HA! I would have been fine if you never came along!"
"Oh! Well crazy me thought that burning building plus unconscious girl equals DEATH!"
Rogue finally interrupted hearing enough, "Just stop no one wants to hear you two scream at each other!"
They gave each other evil glares before John reached to the counter to grab a drink. He was about to put it to his lips when A.P. grabbed the glass and chugged down the drink. When the glass was empty she thrust it back into John's hands, licked her lips and walked past him to leave the kitchen. When she was standing in the door way she turned and spoke, "I warned you not to fight me." John slammed the glass down on the counter in fury shattering it to pieces.

When Rogue returned to the room she found A.P. in the bed she had been in earlier. She was lying with her eyes closed but anyone could tell that she was not sleeping.
"I really don't feel like talking right now." Rogue knew she meant about John. She didn't say anything she just flopped down on her bed hugging a pillow under her head. As she laid there she thought about the questions that were brewing in her head all day.
Why did A.P. fight John like that? Why does using her powers take so much of her energy? Why was she so scared of this place? Why didn't she want to be rescued from the building? There were too many questions for her just to hold them all in. She had to ask something. "Are you really all powerful?"
A.P. turned her head to Rogue finally opening her eyes. "I seemed all powerful to two eleven year old little girls."
"Your friend that gave you the nickname?" she questioned. A.P. nodded. "So what can you do?"
"I've never really told anyone but my friend that before."
"I understand," Rogue closed her eyes thinking the conversation was over.
A.P. sighed and realized that the people here were going to find out one way of another. "I can make things go invisible," Rogue looked at her.
"Anything?"
"Yeah but I have to touch it,"
"And when you let it go?"
"You can see it again. And I can make fire balls," she held her hand up and a bright flaming ball came out of her palm. It lit up the room giving it an orange hue although the ball was only a little bigger than A.P.'s fist. She moved her hand over it and closed it to form a fist and the ball disappeared. "I can't really control it just throw it. I can jump through walls too that also comes in handy when you can go invisible. And I can move things with my mind."
"Is that it?" Rogue asked after a moment or two.
"So everyone here has powers?" A.P. was trying to draw Rogue away from the subject of the last question in attempt to avoid it.
"Yep. But most of us only have one or two powers not many of us are like you."
"So what can you do?" Rogue explained about what happens when she touches someone. The two girls then talked other things until they eventually fell asleep at around two in the morning. But while the two were in conversation A.P. found herself doing something she hadn't done in years. She smiled.

The few hours A.P. slept that night were unsettling. The nightmares got more horrible as she tossed and turned. The horrid night that was haunting her came back to her in flashes.
*They were all running down the bright white halls. There was an awful chill that sliced through everyone's and down to their bones. And only part of it was the cold. The rest was a crippling fear. A.P. ran behind the group trying to make sure everyone was there and okay. As weak as she was she was one of the strongest. Everyone was pushing there limit to get out. They had been planning this for weeks. And now two heavy steel doors stood between them and their freedom.*
A.P. shot up in bed her bed. Her breaths were coming quickly and her heart was ready to beat its way out of her chest. Beads of sweat made there way across her skin. What had made her dream about that night again? Her dreams were not like everyone else's.
Her dreams were like her visions. Her visions of the past came to her when she was sleeping. They were not unlike her visions of the future which came to her when she was awake. The visions were in vivid detail they seemed as if A.P. was there experiencing it. As if she cold feel the heat of the sun, the touch of the wind or the pain of a person.
She looked back at her sweat covered body. The light filtering in from the windows told her it was morning. Her attention then snapped to the voices that were coming from the hall.
"Oh they are going to be so thrilled! Isn't this going to be fun!" The was recognizable as the annoying girl from the kitchen yesterday. Her and whoever she was talking to could not see her like this. She quickly and quietly got out of her bed and ran into the bathroom turning the shower on just as she heard the door open.

Uh Oh! Whats going on? I don't remember visions being on the list of powers she told Rogue. And I don't think that that is all that happened that night. Is she going to run into John again? And how did A.P. get all those powers? Only I know and there is only one way for you to find out. Review to inspire me to write more chapters. I don't even care if it is a bad review!!! Just tell me what you think!!
