Back at it again. Not sure why but I really feel like writing a ton lately. Also we're almost at 100 reviews yay! I'm so happy. I also added more to this stories deleted scenes.
When I saw the man with his adamantium claws out and ready to slice me I began to shake with laughter.
Considering the circumstances, I should have been a bit more concerned but I couldn't help it. I couldn't.
It's really him after all this time.
The man growled and rushed at me yelling "You leave her alone!" I responded by creating a shield in front of myself that he'd unwittingly ran into.
An electrified shield.
He flew back and groaned.
"What you do that for?" Marie said
"He tried to attack me!" I said.
The man was soon back on his feet. Amazing considering that the wattage of the shield should have knocked him out.
I'm sure the adamantium bones didn't help either. He seemed to shake it off and was ready to go another round.
Wolverine then began to visibly sniff the air and said. "I remember you. You- you're that kid that dyed my hair green!" he growled again.
"Well I was more of a camera man than anything else. But same thing I suppose." I began to laugh again
"It's impossible for me to take you seriously now. I'm sorry."
Wolverine did not look pleased.
"I don't know why your upset at me. You're the one that got jumped by third graders."
Wolverine rushed at me again. Again I put my shield up and again he ran into it and flew back.
"Seriously? You're a bit of a one trick pony I suppose. Do you have any brains to go with your brawn? You just made the same mistake twice."
I chuckled. "You didn't even realize that I was baiting you."
The man in response growled at me. It was all he could really do. How could he fight an enemy that won't even leave himself open to an attack?
"Wolverine stop it! He's my friend." Marie said.
"And a temporary resident here" Scott said as he and Storm rushed over to us.
"What part of go to your room didn't you understand?" He said to Marie. Then he glared at me presumably blaming me for everything.
"I don't care who he is but he puts a hand on her and I'll rip him limb from limb!" The man glared at me before stomping off.
"You had to mess with Logan. Didn't you?" Storm said before sending us back into the mansion.
I didn't do anything. He attacked me. Over a damn hug. One I didn't even start! Why am I automatically the guilty one here?
Though I wouldn't take fighting him lightly. He's not as powerful as me but it seems the guy can live through anything. Logic said
Beatable? Certainly. But I have to fight him on my terms. He gets too close and I become Swiss cheese. And if I react fast enough I'll reveal my mutation. I don't like-
"Don't worry about Logan he's just a bit protective." I heard Marie said
"A little?" I say raising an eyebrow.
He's rash I could-
"He'll come round." My friend said interrupting my thoughts yet again.
"I don't care if he likes or doesn't like me. Though that fact he cares about you gives him points in my book."
"Aww you're so sweet."
I smiled "Thanks. Now please let me think for a moment."
"Can I help?"
"Not really."
"Hey!"
"If you know rocket science you're welcome to help."
"Umm." She decides to shut up. Marie wouldn't approve of my thoughts so I kept them to myself.
Once lunchtime rolled around, we grabbed our food. I quickly noticed that people were staring at me. My stomach lurched from my fear. However, whenever I tried to look at them they looked away, afraid of even eye contact.
As soon as I sat at a table, several kids left it in a hurry.
"Umm" Marie said.
She didn't complete this sentence and 4 people began to approach the table. Two I recognized as Bobby and John from the museum trip. The other two were girls. One had a orange trench coat and goggles. The other wore a much more sensible outfit of jeans and a purple tee shirt.
Bobby glared at me while John seemed more curious than angry.
"Get away from her you murderer." Bobby said.
I smiled at him despite my annoyance. Could anyone keeps a secret here?
"I do recall her coming her completely of her own free will."
"Yeah well you probably threatened her or something that's why Wolverine attacked you."
I rolled my eyes "Marie please explain to your friend the importance of not relying on rumors for information. You would think this would be obvious but I suppose not everyone has the same mental capabilities."
I then decided to eat in silence as Marie explained that we were friends and apologized for my rudeness. I took this time to calm my nerves.
"But but he killed 10 people." Bobby said.
John evaluated me. "He doesn't look like much. How did a toothpick like him manage to hurt anyone? Let alone Wolverine."
I continued to eat quietly paying the two no mind. I remembered that Watts would be fine as my father would search the apartment first. That made me relax a little.
"Hey I'm talking about you! How'd you do it? John said.
"Don't want to say." I answer
"Why not?"
"You didn't ask nicely." I smiled and said "And it was 50."
"50?" John repeated
"50 people died."
The cafeteria went silent.
"Then what the hell are they doing letting you be here?" Bobby said.
I shrugged and continued eating.
"You were right Marie. The food does taste good." I said.
"Don't change the subject!" Bobby said. I was supposed to be frightened by that? He looked like a toddler having a temper tantrum.
I smirked and said "You aren't getting your point across any better by yelling."
"I could understand you liking a bad boy Marie but seriously?" purple shirt girl said.
"He's a bona fide murderer." orange trenchcoat girl said
"Bobby let's talk about this." Marie said sensing trouble
"I'll wipe that smirk off your face!" Bobby yelled
Now I'd done it.
Yet another fight in the same day? What had I done to deserve to be so lucky.
"Chris don't!" my friend said. I ignored her. Marie couldn't possibly understand the importance of getting respect from the first day. If I didn't crush this guy they'd walk all over me. I'd learned that from Father.
"You're on!" I yell as I stood.
"Chris" Marie looked at me with worry.
"Relax I'll be fine. Just move somewhere where you won't get hurt."
She clearly didn't approve of what I said but did what I told her.
So what can Mr Bobby do?
We stared at each other neither willing to look away..
Ice erupted out the boys hands which I dodged.
Ice powers. Pretty nice. Rebellion said
More like cool. Optimism said. Everyone rolled their eyes at the lame excuse for a joke.
I evaluated my options. While doing this I dodged each attack quickly. The real problem was that if I used my electricity there was a high chance of killing him.
It was out the question.
To be honest this was very stupid. My techniques were for warfare. They were not meant to be used to one up little boys.
Not that I'd ever admit that. This just meant I had to be creative.
"That's all you have? What was that thing about you knocking the smirk off my face?" I said standing on a table.
Bobby yelled and of course thought will be a good idea to throw everything he had at me. I dodged this again. It wasn't that I was Roadrunner or anything. It was just that he was too slow and too predictable.
He froze a large area of the cafeteria solid. Including the pipes overhead. Though thankfully no students were in the way.
I jump backwards off the table slipped and fell on the ice.
Bobby feeling that he'd finally got an advantage jumped on top of the table and smiled.
Then water began to pour on top of his head.
"You have no real control over your powers. You really froze the pipes." I smiled and get back up
"You really should surrender. Now." I said with a smirk
"Or what?" Poor poor Bobby he wasn't even aware of the mess he'd gotten himself into.
"You could fight with your mutation and freeze yourself in the process."
"I wouldn't!" the boy insisted
"Like to place a bet on that? Of course if you're wrong you won't exactly be able to collect on it. Hypothermia sets in so fast." I said with a very large smile.
Bobby growled.
"Of course there always is hand-to-hand. But seeing as you just blew all your strength in one move- stupidly of course even a twig like me could stop you" I smirked at this.
I could kill you where you stand with my electricity but you don't need to know that.
Water it saved my ass so many times. It was just a natural compliment to my electricity. Well, besides metal.
"Get some control over your powers and maybe maybe we can talk about fighting each other as equals. I didn't even use my mutation. You're not on my level."
Not that I had refused to use my mutation on purpose. But they didn't need to know that either.
Bobby left humiliated. I looked at John who ran off shortly after I looked at him for only a moment.
Everyone in the lunchroom was afraid of me except Marie. And that wasn't a problem at all. In fact I liked it.
