Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men Evolution.
Well, I'm back with another chapter. Thank you, to those who reviewed. That isvery much appreciated. I'm currently working on this little Berserker fanfic, fanfics for other categories completely, and my X-Men Evo parody. And...if you're wondering by any chance if this fanfic will have any romance in it, I honestly haven't a clue if it will, though probably not. It's not that I don't like to see a good couple, it's solely the reason that I just can't write romance that well. Oh well. Here's a new chapter for you. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 2: Too Scared
"Where were you all morning?" asked Scott Summers.
Ray turned around, not really wanting to answer. He just wanted to go back up to his room and spend the rest of the Saturday laying in his bed and sorting out his thoughts.
"Out," he replied.
"Out where?" Scott asked, growing frustrated in a hurry.
"Out there!" and with that Ray walked up the stairs towards his room. He slammed his door and flopped on his bed. After about fifteen minutes of sitting doing nothing, there was a knock at his door. He silently ignored it.
"Maybe if I pretend I'm not here, they'll go away," Ray thought. It worked, and within seconds the person at the door just left down the hall. For a second, Ray caught himself wishing that his memories worked the same way.

Lance Alvers groggily poured himself what was let of the lukewarm coffee. Despite Pietro's purposely loud early morning activities, he had managed to get in a couple extra hours of sleep. He walked into the living room, where his other roommates were placed. Wanda was on the couch, reading some random morbid looking novel. Todd and Fred were watching mindless cartoons while sitting on the floor. Pietro wasn't there; Lance figured he was probably in the bathroom inspecting his hair, making sure every strand was in the correct place.
"What are you watching?" Lance asked.
"It's 'Ed, Edd, and Eddy'. It's awesome!" Fred answered.
"I like it!" Todd agreed.
"It's funny!"
"It's stupid." Lance grabbed the remote and turned the channel to the news.
"Ew!" Todd exclaimed and jumped away.
"Hey, cool. They say some funky looking mutants have been running around."
"Doing what?" asked Wanda, not looking up from her novel.
"Just running around, smashing stuff, stealing stuff."
"Sounds like fun!" Pietro blurted as he ran into the room and plopped down on the couch next to his sister. Wanda paid him no attention and still didn't look up from her book. There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" Pietro said, eager to make sure he hadn't lost it from missing the person at the door earlier that morning. He opened the door and, upon seeing the familiar face of what he recognized as another one of the X-geeks, Pietro slammed the door in his face without letting the person at the door say a word.
"Who was that?" asked Lance.
"One of the X-geeks in training." Pietro had no desire to talk to this boy from the X-Mansion as he knew he would have no interest in what he had to say. Lance felt the same way. Wanda, however, decided to put her book down and go see what the person wanted or needed. When she opened the door, no one was there. She stuck her head out the door to see if anyone was nearby.
Pietro laughed. "He was probably too scared to stick around."
