...Summer break was all too soon ending. It was time to go back to school.

The blindness was supposed to be only temporary. McCoy said the explosion somewhat had the same effect on my eyes as it would if I stared into the sun for quite a long time. It was somewhat a deterioration thing. With both the physical and mental therapy from the Professor and Dr. McCoy, my vision had improved slightly.
And now I must wear sunglasses in public, thanks to this. That card's explosion harmed whatever it is that controlled the color change in my eye. The color's supposed to only change when I change into 'mutant form'. Now... sighs it's just another thing I have to continually hide from the humans.
It's getting way to hard to do this. I miss being able to see things, people... Kurt... Hopefully someday something could be done about it.
Kara carefully stepped out of the car and felt around with her walking stick. It had been almost six months since 'the incident' with Gambit, but it felt like an eternity to her... as well as everyone else in the X-Mansion.
She was able to get around fairly well, even without her stick. Since her sight was gone, her other senses became even stronger. Kara developed somewhat of a 'psycic sense', not technically. It was like a 'sixth sense'; she sensed what happened around her, and if anything or anybody violated her space, she knew it right away.
Kurt was dubbed Kara's 'official' escort. Xavier arranged for them to have every class, if possible, together. And for this new year, Raven had only one class apart from him. Sometimes, I'd say I like this. Being late for class is definitely my specialty. Haha... Kara leaned against the wall, waiting for Kurt who had to speak with the student counselor. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. She was rather exhausted from that weekend. The X-Men had been training in the danger room all day, and she had found time to go in and freshen up her skills. Though most all the other X-Men didn't want her to go through with any danger room sequence because they all thought she'd get herself hurt since she was blind. She sure did prove them wrong.
She went up several levels with them, but had to discontinue when one of the machines blasted her from the back and sent her into a wall. Ouch... no more danger room sequences... for then...
Kara propped her walking stick against the wall and adjusted her glasses, and pricked her ears to noises coming down the hall.
She noted that there were at least three guys walking a ways down the hall, talking and laughing at whatever they were talking about.
Playin' hooky are we? Kara ignored the guys as they walked in towards her. One boy stopped in front of her and said mockingly, "What is such a good little girl like you doing out here skipping class? You know you're going to get in trouble." The others laughed.
Lookie who's talkin'... asshole... "Why don't you be a good little boy and go play in traffic or something..." Kara replied sarcastically. One of the guys laughed and she could hear the one she insulted's low growl at her. Kara cocked her head and crossed her arms over her chest. "Awww... did I hurt your feelings?... I'm sorry..." she said in a teasing voice.

The guy exploded, "I don't give a damn if you're a stupid blind girl!" and he wound back his arm to throw a punch at her.
Why do these humans always like to START fights? Kara didn't move from her spot, knowing he was going to take a punch. The guy swung at Kara with all his might, and right as his fist got within three inches from her face she grabbed his hand and firmly held it in her hand. The guys gasped. "What the hell!" some exclaimed."I think someone has a lil' temper problem..." Kara said, continuing to mock him.
The boy pulled away his hand from her and looked at her wide-eyed. "I don't know what you just did, but I'll sure as hell show you!"
"Like you showed me just now? Wonderful example..." Kara responded sarcastically.
"I'll get you!" he yelled at her and roughly picked her up by her shoulders. Kara remained calm. "He put her face close to hers. "You're quite a smart-ass. You press your luck, being a helpless blind kid."
"Helpless? Ha!" Kara laughed. She gave up all her weight from the floor and let the guy's grip on her shoulders hold her. She pushed all her weight against the wall and grabbed onto the guy's wrists. Before he could do anything, she kicked him in the chest and he flew to the other side of the hall. She fell to the ground.
"God! She's a damn witch!" one boy called out. The boys ganged up on her and stood around her. One took her walking stick and hit her on the upper arm with it. "What are you gonna do now, freak?" one guy said, and the others jeered at her.

Kara gracefully and quickly jumped up, flipped, landed on one's shoulder, and pushed herself to the outside of the boy's circle. She hit the one directly in front of her on the back of the head which sent him to the floor. "I'm gonna whip ya'll's ass." she said and punched another guy as he approached her. The one who held her cane, pushed her against the wall, and her kicked him in the place it hurts. The walking stick fell to the floor; she picked it up. "I believe this is mine." She hit one guy in the stomach with her cane. "And that's what happens when you mess with ME." she said with a rather calm voice.

As this was occurring, Kurt finally walked out of the office and saw the boys surrounding Raven a ways down the hall. He rushed up behind one and hit him across the back of the back, and the boy fell to the ground. "Leave her alone!"
Every guy seemed to have fallen to the ground or was holding his head... or something else... in pain. Kurt gently grabbed Kara's hand and said flirtiously, "Do you vish to return to class, fair Kara?"

Kara tried not to laugh and replied, "Do I wish to, no. Do I HAVE to.." She laughed lightly. "Let's go." They both walked away, leaving the guys, disillusioned because they were just beat up by a girl. Even more humiliating, that she was blind...
