CHAPTER 5:
DARE YOU TO MOVE
(REVISED)
Welcome to the planet
welcome to existence
Everyone's here, Everyone's here.
Everybody's watching you now.
Switchfoot was playing on the cd player when Rogue got up that next morning to check on the girl. She was waiting for Logan to wake up yet. She still had a few bruises from last night's little rendezvous, and she got a huge black eye from that kick that knocked her out. This girl really got drained from Rogue. She was so close from killing her, and Rouge felt really bad that she had to unleashed the deadly hands on her. But on the bright side, she did get these really awesome powers for alittle while. Ok, that wasn't very nice, but hey she did deserve a little something for the hell she went through!
As she was just sitting there in that rock hard chair waiting for the girl to wake up, she noticed all the pretty jewelery she was wearing. She had some really cool black Chinese or Japanese symbol beaded bracelets on both of her wrists. And this beautiful sapphire gem rosary she wore on her neck, with a tiny gold locket that was hidden under the rosary. Rogue got up to get a closer look at the jewelery. When she walked up to her, she thought she saw some small black marking on her left wrist. She was reaching for her bracelet to lift it up a little bit when...
"Hi Rogue!"
Rogue jumped and quickly to turn around when she saw that it was only her best friend Jubilee.
"Gosh, you freakin' scared me there Jubi!" Rogue whispered to her.
"Sorry!" Jubilee tried to say but Rogue stopped her. "SHIISSSSSSSSHHHHHH! Be quiet!"
"Oh, I mean, sorry bout that." Jubilee whispered back to her. "Heard about last night's little exictement. How's the girl?'
Rogue looked at the girl. "She's ok, she's very lucky that she's even alive. I drained alot of her energy this time."
"Ouch, that had suck." And a short pause followed. "So, I bet you got some pretty sweet powers!"
"You're so mean Jubilee! How can you think of stuff like that when she's right here still in a coma-like state!"
"Cause if I knew you any better, I would know that you were probably thinking about the same thing, am I right?" she said as she stared Rogue right in the eye with that mischivous girm on her face.
Rogue sighed."Yeah, basicly. But I'm still human and I do feel kinda bad that I did that to her."
"I know, I know. I feel your pain." A short silence came inbetween the two.
" But seriously, what's her powers like?"
"Well, " Rogue started to smile, "She can blow up stuff, but it doesn't break out into fire or anything like that. She gets this warm feeling inside and this red glow appears in her hands. Then things blow up into pieces!"
"Cool!"
"But the stange thing is that she already have some other powers, cause she has these claws that come out of her fingers like that Lady Deathstrike Logan killed awhile ago. So she must have some healing powers."
"Very odd, I wonder how can that be." Jubilee said.
Rogue looked at the girl's wrist again and saw that she was right about something. "Ha, I thought it was a tattoo." Rogue said when she lifted up the girl's bracelet. "Hey, Jubes, what's this symbol on her wrist mean?" Jubilee bent over to look at it. "Well, it's definetly not Chinesse. It seems to look like Kajin, Japenese writing. I think I can read it. Looks like...'strongest'! Yep, it says 'strongest'!"
"Interesting... wonder if she has anymore." Just then, the Professor and Beast walked into the room.
"Good morning girls. I see that already taking a liking for the girl." greeted the Professor. The girls turned around looking very embarrassed and greeted him back.
"Well, I'm glad you like her. She should be walking up any moment by now."
"So who's the girl, Professor?" Rogue asked.
"I'm afraid I can't tell you yet until Logan wakes up. He should be the first one to know of her identity."
"Well that's gonna be awhile, the man never gets up until noon!" Jubilee exclaimed.
"I've already taken care of that, Jubilee. I contacted Logan mentally telling him to wake up and come into the lab as soon as possible. He'll be arriving soon."
"That's ok. I'm not in any hurry anyways." Rogue said.
"Yeah, and it looks like zombie-girl here isn't either. She looks almost dead to me!" Jubilee exagerated. This would be the oppertunity for Jubi to insert her foot in her mouth. Because at that moment, the girl jumped strait up from her bed and aimed her hands at her target, Jubilee. An explosion of particles soon took place, and the lab door crumbled into pieces. All three of the girls screamed their heads off, even startling Beast a little bit. But the Professor, of course, knew that was going to happen cause he could tell that the girl was waking up as they were talking. Stupid Professor.
Everybody's watching you now.
Everybody waits for you now.
What happens next, what happens next
"That almost killed me!" Jubilee screamed at the girl.
"Now, now girls. Let's not startle the girl, she's been through a terrible night." Beast said, trying to calm them all down.
Logan soon appeared a few moments later, standing in front of the deteriated door that once stood infront of the lab. "Starting the party without me, are we?"
"Good morning Logan, did you rest well?" asked the Professor calmly.
"Yeah, sure. But I'm not so sure about Carrie here."
The girl agian raised hands, aiming this time at Logan. She blasted a window this time into pieces. "How dare you refur me to a demented teenager!"
"Ms. Oyama, please calmed down." The Professor raised his hands at her. This dumbfounded the girls and Logan.
"Ms. Oyama!" They all chimed in.
Ms.Oyama was gasping for air. She thought she was in some nightmare.
" How do you know me? Where am I? How'd you people find me?" she started screaming at them.
"It's alright, it's me, Professor Charles Xavier." he said to calm her down.
"Professor?" she asked
"Professor! How do you know her?" the three asked him.
"Aparently, Xavier contacted the girl after many attempts to find her for the past few months. He didn't want to tell you Logan of his discovery yet until he found out more about her first." Beast explain to them
"You mean he lied to us all by telling us that he was going to a local chess tournament with Cyke to find out about the missing link to my twisted past and didn't even tell me about it!" Logan started to yell.
The Professor started to chuckle. "Well I had to think of something to get out of here!" Besides Logan, you wouldn't of handled the news well if I told you about her right away when I found her. You never take surprises well."
"Now that's a bunch of..."
This made Rogue giggle. "Look who's talking now, Logan" she said to herself.
"Please Logan, you're scaring the girl." the Professor said. By now everyone was looking at her. She seemed a little shy.
"Now, Ms. Oyama, would you like to introduce yourself to everyone?" the Professor asked.
The girl looked dumbfounded."Me?"
The Professor chuckled agian. "Yes you."
"Like my full name?" she asked.
"If you wish."
She just looked around at the group of weirdos. Oh this is going to be good.
I Dare you to move
I Dare you to move
I Dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I Dare you to move
I Dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before...
"Ok, well. If you must know, I'm Naomi Elizabeth Analease Oyahma, but, um..." she started to freeze up."You can just call me Naomi, or Nomi if you like."
There was a long dramatic pause. This definetly made her feel ten inches tall. She couldn't deside if she so just sit there or runaway and hide. That is until Rogue reached her gloved hand to her.
"Hi Naomi, I'm Marie. But you can just call me Rogue." Rogue smiled at her and shook her hand. Jubilee giggled a little bit and went to shake Naomi's hand after Rogue. "And I'm Jubilation Lee, but I'm just Jubilee around here!"
"And I am Dr. Hank McCoy, the school doctor, but you can call me Beast like some of the students do here." Hank also shook her hand.
After everyone introduced themselves, she sat there, wondering what to think about these people. "They all seemed to be prepy freaks, epsecially that Chinese girl. And why the hell is that one brunette girl waring gloves in room temp? The Beast guy, well, he's not too freaky when you look past the blue hair and all. But the silent dude that's always at the bar, now he's strange. He hardly says a word, very strange." She soon was interupted with her thoughts when the Professor spoke to her. "And this man right here, Naomi" the Professor started, "is your father."
Welcome to the fall out
Welcome to resistance
The tention is here
The tension is here
"WHAT!" everybody screamed in shock.
"What? Like you all couldn't figure that out!" the Professor laughed his head off. By the looks on everybody's faces, especially Logan's, it was, how shall he word this. Priceless!
"What the hell do you mean!" Naomi screamed. "He can't be my daddy. He's too creepy and sooooooo unsocial! I don't know what you're all smoking, but he doesn't even look like me! I'M NOTING LIKE HIM!" she started to hyperventalate.
"What do you mean I'm creepy!" Logan started to defend himself. "At least I'm don't freak out and nearly kill everyone in sight, CARRIE!"
"Well I wouldn't do that if I only new where the hell this new power came from and why you were all hunting me down, JASON!"
"Ah, this is going to be such a loving father and daughter relationship these two were going to share." the Professor chuckled to himself.
"PSYCO!"
"FREAKZOID!"
"WITCH!"
"UHHHHH, did you just call me a witch? You are soooooooo going down for that one!" Naomi screamed back and started to loose control of new power by blowing up every thing in sight.
"Quick, TAKE COVER!" Jubi shouted out and she and Rogue ducked underneath the lab bed. The Professor had become very pissed off now and end the madness. "STOP THIS INSTANCE!" he screamed out. He mentaly froze both Logan and Naomi as Naomi was just about to blast the lab tray that Logan was going to throw at her. Beast rushed to grab the tray out of Logan's hands and put Naomi's hands down. After that, Beast went back to stand by the Professor and Xaiver then 'unfroze' the two. They only forgot about one thing though: Naomi was about to blow something up, and it looked like her next target was the floor.
A big BOOM it the floor and at an instance, the floor had a huge creater hole surrounded the whole small space of the lab. "Oops!" said Naomi as she looked at what she done.
"Well as much fun as that was, I'd like to see you both stop this insane fight and just face the facts: You are father and daughter, and that is final!" said the Professor. "Your genetics says it all. You two are blood related, weither you like it or not." Beast stated.
Between who you are, and who you could be
Between how it is, and how it should be.
Yeah
I Dare you to move
I Dare you to move
I Dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I Dare you to move
I Dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened...
Logan and Naomi stopped their arguing and look each other strait in the eyes. Logan can tell by her eyes, that she had the same exact color as his. That deep green color with a hint of hazel in them. Naomi can only sit there in silence.
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself
Where're you gonna go?
where're you gonna go?
Salvation is here
Well, leave it up Jubilee to break that silence. She started to burst out laughing, "Well I'll be! I'd never thought that I'd see the day that Logan would ever be a father!" Everyone then shot an evil glare at her, especially Logan. "Ok, fine, nextime I'll just shove my foot in my mouth! Jeeze, tough crowd!" she said as her face turned beat red.
"Sorry, bub." Naomi apologized to Logan. He started chuckle alittle.
"Hey, I'm tryin' to apologize here, pal. What's the big joke this time?" she asked.
Jubilee giggled too a little bit. "You said 'bub'!" Everyone glared at her again. "Right, sorry. I'll shutup now."
"Anyways, as I was going to say," said Logan, "I'm sorry too." He then shrugged and asked Naomi, "So, um, do we hug or something?"
Naomi let out a sigh and walked up to Logan and put her hand out. "We'll shake on it." she replied to him. Logan then did the same and they shoke hands.
"So," she started, "My only question is am I the only one with these powers or what?" She looked around at everyone in the room. "I mean, why do I have this third power?"
"Well, Ms. Oyama, it seems to me that there's only one possible explanation for this." started Beast. "Since you are one of the few mutants on this Earth who were gifted with powers to activate at birth, it has been found in most cases like your's that a third power takes affect during a stressful point during adolecence like everyone else here. The third power is usually a very powerful. The power you're experiencing is called..."
"Molecular combusition, right?" Naomi interupted.
"Why, yes, you are correct. You must like science alot." he said in amazement.
"Well, it's just one of my better skills." she implied."It just never came to me that I would have anyother powers other then set I was born with."
"And now you know! Anyways,I haven't found out for sure, but you may also experience another molecular trait that's linked to you power."
"You mean temporal satius?" she asked.
"More like molecular immobilisation, but nice try."
"Oh, I guess that would make since. But wouldn't that count as a fourth power?"
"Not at all, you basicly control all molecules of every object around you. But the molecular combusion is the dominating link in this particular power."
"Ok will the very smart people please speak in NORMAL Enlish for the stupid people in this room!" Jubilee intrupted their conversation.
"A good overall explination is needed, is what she's tring to say." said Rogue.
Naomi turned to them and said "Basicly what he means is that I can speed up the molecules, or particles if you like, causing them to blow up. But I may also later on be able to slow down the particles, causing time to 'freeze'. Does that answer your questions?"
"Cool! You sound like Piper on Charmed!" Jubilee said happily.
"You like that show, too?" Naomi asked.
"Yeah we both LOVE it!" Rogue added.
"Ok girls, I think it's time that we all leave Logan and Naomi alone so they can know eachother alittle more. Naomi, you and Beast can finish your coversation later. If you need me, I'll be in my office." said the Professor as they were all heading out of the lab.
"And we can give a tour of the school when you're ready!" said Rogue and Jubilee both.
"Thanks, but I don't know if I'll stay here or not." she said them.
"That's ok, take you're time." said Rogue. As soon as they all left the room, Naomi turned to face Logan.
"Now what do we do?" she asked Logan.
"I don't know, but you're going to have to help me clean this mess you've caused, Kiddo." he said.
She just grinned and shook her head. "Fair enough."
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I Dare you to lift yourself, lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
"So where's Mom?"
Today never happened before
