Chapter 5

Training Simulation

I sat up screaming. I pulled my blanket up to my face and gave a small sob into it.
It took me a moment to realise where I was. I was sitting in a large bed viewing a beautiful room. The sun was pouring into my room and the clock on the wall told me it was seven in the morning.
I climbed out of the bed to find myself in my clothes from yesterday. I combed my hair and pushed the blonde hair that was falling into my face. I almost regretted leaving Beast Boy my hair clip. But it was something for him to remember me by. I just hope he would never forget me. I mean, he wouldn't, right?
"Terra?"
"Come in," I replied.
A brown hair girl with white bangs walked into the room. She reminded me of Raven, dark and slightly creepy.
"My name's Rogue," the girl said with a southern accent.
"Hi," I said nervously. "What's your power?" I blurted out.
Rogue smiled and walked up to me. She removed one of her the gloves covering her hand.
"I can absorb memories and powers of anyone who touches my skin," Rogue said with a hint of sadness in her voice. "If I come in contact with someone for too long, there's a chance I could kill them. One touch of me and you'll be in coma for a month."
I bit my lip. I felt slightly nervous around her. And sorry for her, only the last thing she needed was my pity. I closed my eyes for a brief second to imagine what it'd be like to be her. Not being able to touch anyone without possibly killing anyone. She didn't have control of her powers.
Neither did I.
"Rogue, can you bring Terra down for some breakfast?" Xavier's voice rang in Rogue's head.
"Hey come on," Rogue said slipping the glove back on her hand. "It's time for some breakfast."
I followed Rogue around the beautiful manor, bumping into many other students along the way.
"What do they teach you here?" I finally asked as we neared the kitchen.
"We just learn to control our powers," Rogue said simply. "A lot of us can't control our powers. Scott can't control his powers so he has to wear special glasses so he can open his eyes without hurting anyone."
We walked into the kitchen to find thirty or so people sitting down, chatting loudly and munching down breakfast.
"Morning," a brown haired boy with scarlet sunglasses said as he passed Rogue on his way out. I recognized him as the guy that grabbed me last night.
"That was Scott," Rogue said.
Rogue and I grabbed two empty chairs and began piling food onto our plates. I felt so stupid taking a lot of the food at this strange place. I hadn't even been there for 24 hours and I was sitting here scarfing down the food!
"Hey Terra," a chirpy brown haired girl said taking a seat next to me. I recognised her as Kitten…or something like that.
"Yeah," I said nervously pushing my blonde hair out of my face again.
"You've got really awesome powers, you know?" Rogue said.
"They're terrible," I breathed.
"Yeah, but at least you can touch people without hurting them," Rogue replied.
"What's your power uh…Kitten?" I guessed.
"Kitty," she corrected. "And I can phase through things."
"Phase?" I asked confused.
"Like this," Kitty said grinning as she placed her hand through her cereal bowl.
I gave a yell of surprise and jumped back. "Whoa! You're like a…ghost! You can walk through walls!" I squealed. That would explain why that jet seemed to go through the rocks yesterday, I thought.
"Come on," Rogue said taking my hand. "If you're done with breakfast, I'll show you around."
"Bye!" Kitty said waving goodbye to me as Rogue dragged me out of the kitchen.

After the tour of Xavier's mansion, Rogue took me to see Xavier and another man, who looked really scary. He had three metal claws sticking out of his hands. I knew I had a look of fear on my face because the guy retracted the claws. I gave a scream.
"Heya kid," the guy said.
"Terra, this is Logan. He trains the X-Men to control their powers," Xavier explained. "We have a training session in twenty minutes. I want you to work in the Danger Room. Rogue, suit her up."
"Suit me up?" I asked confused as Rogue dragged me back to my room. "Danger Room? Training session?"
"We all get special uniform as X-Men," Rogue said taking a navy blue suit out of my empty wardrobe. "And the Danger Room is just full of simulations that help us train against…the world I guess."
"Spandex?" I said with a faux disgusted look on my face.
Rogue grinned and left my room.
I put on the suit and Rogue led me to a room where other teenagers in navy blue or black suits were standing.
"You're late," Logan snarled.
"Sorry," Rogue said. "Anyway, I'll go watch you from the controls, OK?" Rogue said. I nodded and Rogue headed with Logan to a control room.
Suddenly, weapons were being fired at us from guns coming out of the floor, ceiling and walls.
One of the boys turned his whole body into ice and began shooting icicles at the orange droplets raining down on us. They froze and smashed to bits on the ground.
"Ahh!" I screamed as some orange droplets flew towards me. I wasn't sure if they were poison or not so I threw my hands up into the air and managed to get a chunk of the ceiling off the ground. I jumped on top of it and dodged the orange droplets.
I noticed that whoever got hit disappeared immediately. I shivered wondering where they were going.
I found myself screaming again as the rock I stood on disappeared. I was falling head first to the ground. I concentrated on the floor to rise up as a column. I landed on the uneven rock and concentrated on sending it to the nearest gun on the ceiling. The column shot up and I jumped off it, somersaulting and landing safely on the ground.
"Look out!" the ice boy shouted jumping in front of me. He created an ice shield and it disappeared almost immediately.
"Thanks," I said smiling shyly at him.
He gave me a cocky smile and then turned around and ran off to destroy a gun but got hit. Suddenly, I felt something wet hit me on the back of my neck and then a funny feeling and I was standing in the control room.
"You did awesome Terra!" Rogue said smiling.
"Really?" I squeaked. "I didn't lose control or anything this time as well!"
"You might be getting a hold on your powers then kid," Logan said appearing from a doorway.
I smiled feeling genuinely happy, a feeling I hadn't felt for a long time.
