07 – Shockwave, Wolfsbane, Vertigo and Iona
"I wonder who they are and why they aren't in class," Crystal spoke out loud as she turned the corner into the kitchen to get a snack. Sat in the far corner were four girls, older than her though the youngest wasn't that much older. "Hi, I'm Crystal who are you?" She asked walking over to them.
"Hey Crystal, I'm Shockwave, this is Iona, Wolfsbane and Vertigo. How come your not in class?" The oldest said indicating her friends. She had blond hair tied up on top of her head and was wearing jeans and a halter neck top.
"I haven't got a timetable yet, Storm said I could explore today. What about you? Don't you have classes?" Crystal asked.
"We got off 'cos we need to pack for our school trip." The one called Wolfsbane said, she had her brown hair plaited and also wore jeans and a halter neck.
"Cool, where are you going?" Crystal asked grabbing a packet of crisps and sitting down next to Shockwave.
"Florida." Vertigo said. She wore her white hair down. Her clothes consisted of jeans and a one-shoulder top.
"You are so lucky, I wish I could come," Crystal said offering her food to the girls.
"Hey you should ask Storm, she's organising it. I bet she'd let you come." Shockwave said, "Anyway to other important stuff, what landed you at mutant high Crystal?"
"Me? I drowned my parents," Crystal said sadly.
"Ouch. But at least I can guess why Xavier put you with Storm, she's pretty cool." Shockwave said.
"I guess," Crystal muttered, "So what about you guys? What can you do?"
"Me, I'm a werewolf," Said Wolfsbane.
"I can turn people inside out, somethin' about changing ion balances in membranes." Iona said, the first time she said anything. Her hair was strawberry blonde and very frizzy. She wore jeans and a plain t-shirt.
"I make stuff vibrate dead fast when I touch it." Shockwave said.
"I make anyone I blast really dizzy and weak, except Sam who just finds it funny." Vertigo said looking at Shockwave.
"But it tickles so much Ver!" Shockwave protested.
"I remember Rogue saying something about you guys being always in trouble..." Crystal said curiously.
"Yeap that would be us," Wolfsbane said, "Though its always Sam's ideas, and we usually get caught and punished for it. That's why we're going to Florida."
"The X-Men think going away from this school full of other mutants will settle us down a bit, 'cos they think it's the excitement getting to us. So why they're sending us to Disney..."
"So who else is going?" Crystal asked.
"We're not sure really, a girl called Jedda, Rogue, Bobby, Kitty and Jubilee. They're all we know properly. Then the X-Men that are coming so far are Storm, Blaze, Gambit, Scott, possibly Vixen if she's back." Sam said
"And if Vixen comes then so will Logan," Vertigo added her violet eyes dancing.
"Defiantly," Wolfsbane agreed.
"Who's Vixen?" Crystal asked.
"Vixen is Xavier's daughter and Logan has such a crush on her, but she's away on some mission at the moment." Sam said
"Did you say Jedda was coming?" Crystal asked dreading the answer.
"Yeah, we don't talk to her really. She ran off the other day but word is she came back." Wolfsbane said.
"And left again." Crystal added rubbing a bruise that had appeared where her arm hit the wall during her fall. She looked at the confused faces around her so she explained what had happened the previous night.
"That is so cool. You are so in our group now," Sam said daring the others to disagree, but the others agreed with her. "To think you're only what, ten? And she's nearly fifteen?"
"Hey come on let's take her round the school, then we can track down Storm and ask her about Crystal coming with us." Vertigo said standing up and leading the others outside.
