Authors Note: Once upon a time myself and Skysong were taking part in a fic called The Author, Demon and the X Men. It was on our old site and we enjoyed it very much! But of course the site shut down and with it our 200 odd chapters. It seemed too much of a big job to either reclaim the chapters or to continue the fic on here so we decided to discontinue the fic.
But I know myself and Sky missed the fic muchly, and we always talked about it so we decided to start up a new generation of ADX. But this time we're calling it:
X- Over
I know myself and Sky will be taking part in this fic which basically involves authors becoming transported to the X-Men Evolution universe and developing mutant powers. Our friend Cassy will also want to come too I think but we're willing to consider applications to be part of our fic. Not your OC's but your self. You don't have to be completely honest but try not to be too nutty. Age, Name you liked to be called. Appearance, any traits that you think should be highlighted and finally your eventual powers.
Well I've pretty much covered the introduction. Now onto the fic.
This will be done in a mixture of first and third person narrative but beginning with third just because I find that easier to write in.
It was a normal day at the institute. Well as normal as any day possibly could be when the institute consisted of a bunch of mutants with possibly and probably destructive powers.
Evan was happily dive-bombing into the swimming pool with a jubilant yell as the water displaced from his fall splashing onto the lino-floating Kitty who cried out against such an indignity.
"EVAN!" She yelled and the offensive teenager grinned and shot a small bone spike that punctured the pink rubber bed and sank Kitty like the titanic.
"AAAH" Kitty shrieked and emerged from the water dripping wet and extremely pissed. She promptly walked over, phasing through the water so that she was right next to the now cowering Evan. "Don't do that again" She said coldly and picked up a cupful of water before yelling out to Bobby who nodded and half froze the water as she coolly pulled his waist band for his swimming trunks and deposited the freezing water therein.
"P-p-p-point l-l-learnt" Spyke returned and promptly got out of the pool to wrap a hefty towel around himself and tried to regain the feeling of his 'personal friend'.
"Well done Kitty!" Bobby grinned from his position on the sun lounger and she grinned in reply.
"Ah have t'admit Kit ya've defiantly got style" Rogue complimented from where she sat in the shade reading a well thumbed book entitled "Dracula".
"Thanks Rogue" Kitty replied with a smile as she swam around a bit before retreating to get another lilo- this one lime green as she settled down to improve her tan by gently being rocked by the swimming pool water-
SPLASH!
Kitty called out again as if it was another of her fellow X Men disturbing her rest but the look on Rogue's, Bobby and Evan's face told her otherwise. Plus they were the only ones near the pool at the time. Unless Kurt had teleported under water, which was highly unlikely, then something was wrong.
Under water all Kitty could see was a murky blue and black shape- the water distorting it from being obviously a person to looking like just a mass of dark clothes and a tangle of dark brown hair.
"Wha-!" Kitty exclaimed before she saw a quick shape and a batting of wings as Warren Worthington the third dove into the pool from a maddening height to retrieve the girl.
Warren, a recent addition to the institute had been on his daily flying excursion in a careful manner to escape detection and had been returning when he'd heard the splash and saw the flash of light.
Kitty held her breath, the looking down below at the white wings now obscuring her view. It obviously wasn't good for Warren to get his wings wet. He was an angel, not a duck but he'd done it anyway.
'I guess that angel instinct isn't something he lies about' She thought wryly. Terror for the person momentarily forgotten in light of a new thought ' we should get the professor to give us life saving training'.
Then all thoughts of extra lessons vacated her head at Warren surfacing in a blaze of white feathers and that tangled brown hair. He gasps "Help me with her" and Kitty breaks out of her stupor to drop off the lilo and Angel deposited the unconscious girl on the inflatable and gasped again.
Kitty took action, pushing the lilo to the side then yelled to Bobby "Get Dr McCoy!" before she reached the side, followed quickly by Angel who climbed onto the side and pulled away the hair from the girl's face.
Her face was white. Not just the white used on hospital programs to make the corpses look dead but white as in her face was waxy and pale. "Shock" Warren murmured as he placed damp fingers to her pulse point on her neck.
"She's got a pulse" He dictated and Kitty let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding. "And breathing thank god" Warren echoed her relieved breath as he glanced at her face again with the colour returning.
Her eyes were closed and traces of mascara on her lashes were now running down her cheeks in a mocking impression of tears. Her face was heart shaped, full lips and pierced ears. She wasn't beautiful per say but she held a certain charm in Kitty's eyes.
"She can't be that old " Warren murmured as he pulled more hair from her face that was now drying faintly. "We need to get her warm" He murmured and without a thought Kitty pulled a towel from the sun loungers to drape around the girl who despite being unconscious was shivering violently.
Kitty looked up, seeing the faint blue dot that was Dr McCoy on all fours running as fast as he could with a medical pack strapped to her back. She touched Warren's shoulders, his instinctive jump enough of a sign to say that she surprised him. He appeared to be focusing on the girl.
"I need to make sure she keeps breathing" He murmured as Kitty answered. "I know, but Dr McCoy is totally here" She answered as Beast approached and quickly appraised the situation.
"What happened Kitty?" He asked as she looked at the girl. "We were fooling around in the pool then she just…fell in and Warren was flying over and dove in to save her" She answered quickly and Beast made her repeat the phrase before he understood.
"Did she fall from the sky near you? A plane perhaps?" Beast asked and Warren shook his head. "No, there was a blinding flash that drew my attention then the big splash. I went down to see what had happened then I saw her falling into the pool"
"Thank god she reached the pool I doubt she would have survived an impact with the ground" Beast said as he put a stethoscope to her chest and checked her heart rate.
"It's dropping. We're going to have to get her inside and on oxygen. If the shock doesn't get her hypothermia will" Beast said urgently as Warren nodded and with speed that got him renowned within the danger room gathered the girl up and flew towards the mansion.
"But she's wearing clothes. Shouldn't that warm her up" Kitty asked as she and Hank were running to the mansion after Angel.
"That may be if she wasn't wet but the clothes are drawing her body heat away from her. They're making her colder. Because she's going into shock it means she can't shiver to keep herself warm." Beast explained as they reached the mansion and began the decent into the infirmary where Angel was waiting with the girl laid upon the table.
"Her lips are going blue" He said quickly as Hank swore and Kitty jumped. She'd never heard either Dr McCoy the biology teacher swear or as Beast the mutant.
"Adrenalin" He murmured and promptly injected the girl before he looked at Kitty. "In that store room is a supply of blankets, bring them all and with them. Angel you've seen oxygen masks before. Go with Kitty and get one of them with a cylinder of oxygen." He commanded as they both nodded and retreated to the storeroom on the right.
"Is she going to be okay?" Kitty asked as Angel flinched. It was a dreaded question, no one every asked it and wanted to here no.
"If we have anything to do with it then yes." Kitty wondered who 'we' was.
They returned to the medical room where Hank took the blankets and swathed the girl with them, going round her sides and tucking in ones that he'd used over the top. Kitty was glad to see an IV already hooked up to her right arm. She never liked needles.
A heart monitor was beeping slowly but contentedly to one side as Dr McCoy placed an oxygen mask on the girl and stood back. "Her temperature's rising. Storm is here; she removed the girl's clothes in privacy and dressed her in an appropriate hospital gown." He told the two anxious X Men.
"And so am I" Came the resonant tones of Charles Xavier who wheeled forward and Angel and Kitty stood aside respectfully as their headmaster drew up to the girl. "We don't know anything about her?" He asked and all mutants shook their heads.
"Warren can you retell your story for me" The Professor said quietly as he ran a psychic diagnosis on the girl.
"Okay" Warren agreed as he tore his eyes away from the healthier looking girl. "I was flying the sweeps I do everyday to keep my wings limber"
He continued "And I heard Kitty's shriek"- Xavier raised his brow at this and Kitty glared mulishly at Angel who looked innocent.
"Spyke dunked me" She muttered and Angel continued.
"Then there was a large flash of light-" Again Angel was interrupted as Xavier asked:
"Describe the light if you please" Charles asked politely and Angel rolled his eyes.
"I was going to" He muttered irritably but continued none the less. "It was weird, not pure white but with silver and gold overtones and then it solidified around the girl and then she fell"
"Was she unconscious as she fell?" Beast asked as he checked the heart monitor and nodded.
"Yes. She had a scratch across her eye" Warren said. "I noticed because it glowed slightly"
Charles frowned but was distracted as the girl began to cough against her oxygen mask. She opened her eyes that glimmered with tears and the cut against her eye stood out.
"Welcome" He murmured as the girl opened her eyes wildly and backed up against the head of the bed.
"Whooo the hell are you?" She asked the collective mutants, her English accent prominent with her fear.
