Chapter 3
Serpent stopped and took a deep breath. "You're my older brother."
Logan stared at her in disbelief and put his claws away. "You're my sister?" he asked quietly.
Lemme talk to him! Remember you always used to let us talk to him! Elect called jumping out of her bubble and over to her computer.
That was Hope and I actually. Ty said quietly getting out of her bubble followed by the others."No," Serpent said to Elect, then to Logan she said. "Yes I am your sister. You probably don't remember me because of what's-his-name but I do because of my telepathic mutation."
"What's going on in here?" Scott asked running into the room with Storm and Xavier following him.
"Come on Serpent. We'll show you where your room is," said Rogue taking Serpent's arm with her gloved hand and starting to drag her out of the room.
"Yeah sure," she replied putting her claws away and grabbing her bag before following Rogue and the others out.
"What happened Logan?" asked Storm seeing his confusion.
"Nothing," he replied walking out of the room quickly.
"Professor?" questioned Scott.
"Leave them alone for now. Let Serpent get settled in, then they can both tell you." Xavier replied before wheeling out of the room.
"So this is it?" Serpent asked as she opened up the door to their large room. Rogue nodded having gotten used to Serpent reading her mind and finding out stuff for herself.
Where am I going to sleep? Kiya asked as she hopped onto a bed with red and black sheets somehow knowing that it was Serpent's.
"I'll get you something Kiya." Serpent replied stroking her pet Lynx on the head before walking over to one of the three small closets and opened up the one that wasn't Kitty's or Rogue.
"We'll leave and let you get settled in. But if there's anything that you need just search the mind." Kitty said with a wink as she dragged Ramses, Rogue and Bobby away.
I told you they were nice. Frost stated crossing her arms before going back to her game on her computer.
"I know and you're always right." Serpent replied quite sarcastically too. Kiya yawned and fell asleep quite quickly on Serpent's bed.
Can you let us out PLEASE? Elect whined spinning around in her chair with her electric purple hair flying behind her. Serpent sighed.
"Do you all want to get out?" she asked the little voices.
YES! Was the unanimous response Serpent got from all of her mutations, even Hope who was usually very, very quiet.
"Fine but as soon as Rogue and Kitty come back you guys are getting back into my head," stated Serpent giving in. All seven of her mutations ran over to their bubbles and hopped into them while nodding their heads.
I'm out of here! Kiya said running out of the room after Serpent opened up the door, she was kinda scared of the mutations because last time Elect got out, she fried her fur by accident. Serpent sat cross-legged on her bed and started concentrating on opening up the portals that let the little voices out. Hope was the first to be teleported out and appeared inside the room. She was wearing her favorite clothes, long voluminous white robes, with her long white hair up in a half ponytail.
"How wonderful it is to be out in the real world instead of just voices inside of your head Serpent," stated Hope in her bell like voice, walking around the room before settling down in a corner where she started meditating. Ty was the next out and she was wearing loose black pants and a black T-shirt with her black hair cut short to about her shoulders. Then came Tele with a long dark blue skirt and tight dark blue sweatshirt with her semi long dark blue hair tied up in a braid-bun.
"Took yea long enough," she stated before straightening out her skirt and searching throughout the room. Serpent's eyes were now three different colours with four more to add to that total.
Let me out! Blaze screamed inside her head. Serpent sighed and concentrated some more to let out the rest. Much to Blaze's delight she was next. She was wearing skintight orange pants with an also tight yellow sweatshirt with her really long red hair tied back in a braid with red silk gloves on her hands. That was because she still didn't have much control over her fire mutation and whenever she touched something with her bare skin, it burst into flame.
"Thank you very much," she said before attacking Kitty's stack of magazines. Ani was next and was wearing her absolutely favorite outfit, which were semi tight green jeans, a sweatshirt with a while bunch of shiny things on it with her green hair tied up in two braids. Frost and Elect were next. Frost was wearing a knee length icy blue dress with her waist length icy blue hair down. And Elect was wearing a very short purple skirt with a light purple halter top and her short purple hair was going in every direction as if had been shocked with electricity… which it probably had been.
"Spiffy room," stated Elect looking at Serpent with an amused glance. Serpent's eyes were now seven different colours because she had all of her mutations out, save for some of Hope and Ty because they were her original mutations therefore stay back. Their fun lasted for about an hour before Kitty knocked on the door.
"Hey Serpent? Are you in there?" she asked from the other side of the door. Serpent and her other seven selves looked at the door, terrified.
"Yeah, just give me a sec!" replied Serpent reaching out and disabling Kitty's mutation for a few minutes so she could get everyone else back inside her head because she didn't want them knowing just yet.
"Phase through the door and scare her," whispered Rogue. Kitty got a sly look on her face and put her hands to the door and started to panic when she couldn't phase!
"Don't even try Kitty! I can read your thoughts and disable your mutation for a short while if you're not strange enough!" Serpent's voice drifted through the door. "Which you aren't, so just give me…" the rest of her little speech was cut short as Ramses kicked the door open.
"Oh… I like him," stated Elect before Serpent called her back into her head, luckily no one had seen her.
"You wanted something?" Serpent asked lying down on her bed with her head propped up on her hands. Rogue and Kitty looked around the room for anything that had been misplaced.
"Were you looking through my magazines?" asked Kitty bending down and stacking her them back into a semi neat pile.
"Umm… yes?" replied Serpent. "Hey, can you guys show me the danger room?"
"Sure, I think Logan and Scott might even let us fool around in there for awhile too," replied Ramses adjusting his long black trench coat a bit. "They will probably want to see how skilled you are in fighting."
"We'll go and check with them and met you at the elevator," said Rogue grabbing Bobby's sleeve and dragging him away. Kitty looked at them strangely before turning her attention to Serpent who was searching in her bag for something.
"What ya lookin' for?" Kitty asked sitting down beside Serpent. Ramses leaned up against the wall and crossed his arms as he waited for the two girls.
"I just need to change. I'll be right back," replied Serpent grabbing some clothes and heading quickly into the bathroom to change. While she was in there Kiya finally came back into the room after she was certain the voices were gone.
"Hey there Kiya," said Kitty bending down and picking up the little Lynx.
"Her name is Kiya?" asked Ramses. Kitty nodded and began to pet her on the head.
"Yeah, is there a problem with that?" asked Serpent walking out of the bathroom with a pair of baggy black jeans and a tight black sweatshirt that want down a bit past her hips.
"None what so ever. Shall we go and meet up with Bobby and Rogue?" replied Ramses a bit baffled at Serpent's coldness towards Kiya's name.
"Come on Serpent! We can show you around the school on our way." Kitty said grabbing Serpent and Ramses before dragging them down the hall.
"Stay Kiya, I don't want you to get hurt." Serpent said to her pet lynx that pouted and went off to explore the school by herself.
About a half an hour later the three finally met up with Rogue and Bobby at the Danger Room because Serpent had told them telepathically to do so.
"Ready to be beaten?" asked Bobby opening up the door and letting the ladies go first.
"I think the question I should respond with is are YOU ready to get beaten?" retorted Serpent smirking and letting her eyes flash seven different colours, giving Bobby a bit of a startle. "Say nothing." Bobby nodded and followed the others in.
"Welcome to the Danger Room Serpent," said Storm walking over to the five. "We're almost ready with the simulator if that's what you all want to do."
"Sure. Just wait until you guys see the rest of my mutation." Serpent said under the influence of Tele of course.
"Ready Storm and Logan, we're going to start you on level five Serpent." Scott's voice rang throughout the room as Logan walked over to them. Serpent nodded at Scott before turning her attention to Logan.
"Don't make me hurt you again Logan." Serpent said coldly as her eyes flashed icy blue.
You tell him Serpent! Frost said inside her head as everyone got into their Battle Bubbles, as everyone called them, and got ready for the simulation to start. Logan growled low in his throat as he and Storm went over to the control center with everyone else to ready the level.
"So all I have to do is kill those things and try not to get myself killed at the same time?" asked Serpent looking at Ramses who nodded before going through the door. "Great…"
"Elect, make a tornado of electricity." Serpent stated running over to the first bunch of creatures and calling upon Elect for her electricity mutation.
I thought you'd never ask sister! She said unleashing her mutation into Serpent. Her eyes changed from steely gray to shocking purple as she held out her right hand and let electricity escape her hand and fly towards them, swirling into a funnel. Everyone looked at her a bit oddly but went onto watching Serpent defeat the simulation.
With a single swipe of a creature's paw, Serpent was sent flying over into a simulated tree, which she stuck to.
"Stinkin' spikes," Serpent stated jumping down from the tree's trunk. One of the creatures came running over to her with its claws lashing out at her. Serpent stopped using the electric tornado and turned her attention to the thing in front of her.
"This is going to be fun." She said unleashing her claws with a familiar snikt sound and lunging at the thing. Unfortunately for her though, this one was smarter than the others were and it grabbed her while pinning her arms to her sides making her claws useless.
Idiot, Tele said sitting back and not letting Serpent use her teleportation mutation.
"You picked the wrong mutant to deal with bub." Serpent said with her arms tensing up as she unleashed another set of claws, although they were morel like spikes, there were six of them that went all up both of her arms. The thing dropped her almost immediately and she landed on the ground with little grace. The monster went back to pick her up again, this time with about five others backing him up.
Do SOMETHING Serpent! Ty's voice screamed inside her head. She thought quickly and grew three little spikes underneath her eyes, ten up both of her legs. But the most odd things were that she suddenly grew a long tail of metal with spikes coming out of it and all down her spine. Out of her back grew what looked like spiders legs with hook-like-spikes in the middle and at the ends and from them two sheets dropped down forming two very large metal dragon's wings!
