ToadMorty: Teh stalkage... O.O
Jennmel: Yeah her parents do suck. But they don't play a big part. They just kinda are... THERE.. Like a never ending looming shadow...
Anyway! Heres the next chapter! This one includes, Training, and Meeting the Team. See the way I figure it, it didn't take too long for Logan to get to, and find alkali lake. I mean, i live in jersey, thats farther from canada then new york, and it only takes me 8 hours to get to canada. So I figure it couldn't have taken TWO YEARS like some people say. I mean really. So i'm wagering it was only a week or so. So deal with it.
Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men. BUT I OWN MORT'S REACTION TO PYRO.
:Serah:
I just sat there a minute. Watching the floor. Contemplating what I had just witnessed. "I knew it. I KNEW they'd do something like this. It's only natural." I stood again. I looked to Mort, he was looking strangely at me. Like he knew what had just happened to me all too well. I looked at him. "So now what?" He shook his head. "Dunno. Guess I shoul' find you a room..." He walked off leaving me there to ponder. What had I gotten myself into? Helping this guy. I wondered, would I have been better off staying at home and letting my parents deal with me? In a way I doubted it.
When Mort came back, he showed me to my room. It was next to his cause it was the only one available. It was kinda barren. All it had was a twin bed in the corner, a nightstand and a dresser. I figured this is better then leaves. "So, what am I supposed to do now?" He shrugged. "You wanted to come." He left leaving me feeling out of place. I dropped my bag next to the bed and sat down. It was a squishy bed. I liked it. Bouncing on it slightly, I giggled. Boy was I lame.
It was later as I lay on my bed when I heard the noise. I lifted my head. I had taken off my jacket, now wearing a T-shirt and Jeans. I poked my head out the door, hearing voices. I walked out into the main room. I was spotted almost imediatly by a guy with real long hair and fangs. "Who's that?" He demanded, pointing a clawed finger at me. "Girl I foun'." I was seriously tempted to say, "YOU found ME?" "Magneto won't like this." Mort snorted. "Yeah, righ' we can always use a new team member." "Uhm... Hi. I'm Serah." I said. The guy stomped off. "Who was that?" I asked. "Sabretooth. Kinda the brute force behin' th' brother'ood." I paused. "How many more are there?" "Jus' two. Magneto an' Mystique." "What are they like?" He laughed. "You'll see when ya meet 'um." He started walking away but I stopped him. "Hey, Mort!" He stopped. "Wot?" "Ya think maybe, you can teach me some fighting moves? I wanna learn how to do this stuff so I can help you guys." He looked back at me. "Me? Teach you?" "Uhm.. Yeah. I guess." He thought about it a minute, then said. "Ok. Follow me." I did so and soon we were in the Hangar. "Show me wot you can do." "What?" "Your mutant ability." I paused. What WAS it exactly. "Uh... I know I can jump really high." "Lemme see." "Ok." Itook a running leap and cried out as I found myself on one of the rafters. "HOLY SHIT!" I heard him laughing below me. "This isn't funny!" "It is from down 'ere!"
I looked down. "Holy crap... I am really high up here." I clung to the rafter. "Little help?" I called. "Jus' jump down!" "How! I am REALLY high up!" "Try crawling on the wall!" "Are you nuts! I'll fall down!" He shook his head. "Jus' try it!" I paused, the crawled to the part of the rafter so I was sitting there instead of hanging. I shakily stood in a crouch and jumped at the wall. Instead of falling like I thought I would, I clung to the curface on my fingertips and toes. "Whoa..." I muttered breathlessly. "Now clim' down!" So I began the descent, getting more confident everytime Istuck my hand to the wall. When I hopped back onto solid ground I slid to the floor. My hands were shaking ans all sweaty. "That... Was fun." I said finally as he watched me. He grinned. "It is isn' it?" "What?" "I can do tha' too. I bet ya we have th' same powers." I stared at him. "Is that possible?" "I s'pose." I grinned. "So, does that mean I can do that tongue thing too?" "Prolly." I smiled. "Should I try it?" "Sure." I opened my mouth, my tongue lolled to the side and landed on my cheek. It didn't get all long and stretchy. I Stretched it out to it's normal full 2 inches. Nothing more. "Damn..." I muttered. "Nothing." " 'Ey, we can' all be perfect now can we?" I sneered at him.
We continued trying to control my unbeleivable jumping skill for the next few hours. He showed me how to control the jump, and how to move faster when climbing walls. The first hour was devoted to trying not to ram into the wall. I couldn't even guess how far I could really jump. Halfway through the lesson, which might I add, looked like some deformed circus with me jumping around like a loon, I accidentally spit something greenish at Mort. He jumped out of the way as the sticky goop hardened on the floor. "Whoa... How did I do that?" Ew gross... I poked at the hardened goop. "Hm... Another power tha' I 'ave." "Cool..."
Mort stopped. Looking out the large hangar door. A helicopter was coming towards it. Mort smiled. "Who's that?" I asked. "Magneto." He said grinning. "There back from... Whereva' they've been." I frowned. I wondered where they'd been.
Oh... So short. I just wanted to get this started right. Yes Serah DOES have Mort's powers. The tongue thing will come later. She just dosen't know how to use it. And i'm sorry for the last chapter... I just was so happy...
