Sorry guys! Its been a long time since I updated. Very long. Band, Exams, the holidays, everything has been distracting. Plus, I sort had writer's block but I finally remember the plot and decided to update. Hope you enjoy the chapter. Disclaimer: I do not own X-men. Just my characters.
Chapter Six: Healing, The Message, and a Outrage
Kat had stayed for more than a few days. She couldn't eat, sleep, or sometimes even move. Bug poison had that affect on her. It was like the end of the world. Sometimes you saw light. Or sometimes it would be all dark. That was just some of the rare affects of her sickness. Ororo saw her often, giving her homework to catch up with her class. Of course, Kat knew it already, so it was quite easy and didn't take much time.
Soon the no eating, sleeping, moving and the lights stopped. Kat couldn't wait until she could finally get out of this white and steel infirmary. It was like prison in here expect cleaner and smelled like Hydrogen Peroxide. The days were long and the nights were short. Kat was about to lose it if she didn't get out of that infirmary soon. Finally, Jean told her that she was able to go. Kat ran out of the room and outside, smelling the fresh air. She didn't like the smell of stale air in a building. It made her feel sick.
Some kids stared at her when she fell down on the ground, rubbing her face on the grass. She did not pay any attention to them but enjoyed the outside.
Kat! Kat, come here! A familiar voice called from above. Kat picked herself and looked up towards the sky. A large crow was flying to her. It nodded its head to a tree and landed on the lowest branch.
Rosco, is that you? How have you been doing? Kat asked him, smiling. It was good to see an old friend.
Okay, but those men in suits now know you left. And your mother said something about New York so now they are coming after you! Protect yourself! Where are we anyway? Rosco told her quickly, looking around at the yard.
Xavier's school for the Gifted. Its actually a school for mutants! Kat told him happily.
Cool. How did you find out about this place? He asked her.
She laughed. Well, one of the guys who lived her ran me over! She said. Rosco laughed too.
Well, I gave you my message. Now, I'm going back to your house. Its colder here than there. Rosco said.
Bye, Rosco. Tell Jack that I love him. I love you too Rosco. She told him.
You know, I'm not a messenger pigeon. They can carry messages to, ya know. Rosco told her, flying upwards. He smiled and nodded to her as a goodbye and flew away.
Kat watched him go till she couldn't see him anymore then turned around. The kids outside were doing their normal things and not paying any attention to her. A group of kids caught her eye. They were splitting up into two teams to play baseball and they had a uneven amount of people. She saw some people she knew but also some new people about her age too. She ran over to them.
"Can I play baseball too?" She asked as soon as she got there. The kids looked at her.
"You're that new girl, aren't you?" A boy asked. She nodded. The kids looked at each other for a moment. Someone whispered something. The boy, around seventeen, looked up. "Hey, Paul, you wanna play baseball with us. We have a uneven amount of people." He asked another seventeen year old boy.
"Sure." Paul said, coming up.
"Sorry, we have no room for you. Some other time maybe." The other boy said. Kat narrowed her eyes. As they walked to their positions she faintly heard him called her a loser.
"If you have something to say to me, I expect it to be in front of me!" Kat yelled. The boy turned, confused. "I heard what you said. Come back here and say to my face, coward." Kat spat.
The boy's eyes narrowed. He threw down the baseball and walked over to her. Then, he yelled at her, something that we will not go over. By the end, Kat was fuming. Her hair on her arms were standing up and her eyes were contracting. Fire burned in her eyes. Her teeth had turned unusually sharp and so have her nails. And her skin was turning a pale orange and had some black lines. The boy backed away at the suddenly changing little girl.
The girl opened her mouth and loud roar filled the silence. The kids at the baseball field and all around the yard stared at them. The boy that had called her many bad things, backed away a bit, having these small balls of yellow light coming from his hands. But suddenly, a two hundred and fifty pound tiger jumped up on the boy and clawed his face. Three large claws marks were on his face. The tiger snarled in the boys face and was about to bite his face when the tiger was picked up and thrown. The tiger landed on its feet and turned.
Logan, Jean, and Ororo were standing not far away from the boy. Ororo checked the boy as Jean and Logan watched the tiger closely. The tiger paced a bit, hissing now and then. "Katherine, what are you doing?" Logan asked the tiger, who roared at him.
"I think when she gets mad, she turns into animal and the animal takes over, not her." Jean said to Logan, picking up the tiger. The tiger twitched and moved, trying to get out of the force.
Jean got the tiger immobilized and now carried her to the circular room, where Xavier waited patiently.
She's gonna get it trouble! Review!
