JD: So no one gets confuse or say I'm being racist or whatever. News flash: How many Japanese, Chinese, or any other race in that general area do you know supporting a Tan that doesn't look like they are in pain? Not many if any at all. How many African American's or anyone dark skin like them do you know that are same shade of skin? Cubans and Hispanics are same way! The ones in this class that CAN get tan or darker without seriously getting hurt don't go outside because scared of being bullied. Just because they are in a mutant friendly place doesn't mean they won't get bullied for stupid kid stuff! Oh post early because I won't have WiFi till late Tuesday Night!
The Class
I couldn't sleep the night after and the next. We had to bring Amber to Hank. I am now on day three of little to no sleep. Halloween is around the corner so I can feel everyone else's excitement but they can't feel my worry. I just want to scream at them.
I walked to the class I'm teaching today arms fill with papers for them to color. Ray is my assistant and beside me. "I'm going to start my job of working in the lab with Jean soon." She inform me. I nod my head and we turn in to my classroom. A kid with scales for skin ran over to us hissing. By his feelings I could tell what's wrong.
Ray looked at me to be translator and I smile weakly. "I believe," I look at each student till I found the guilty party. "Miss Emma will tell you what's going on." Emma being the guilty party gulp and start to fidget with her shirt.
"What happen, Emma?" Ray asked getting down to the girl's level.
"I accidentally used my powers to make Ralph agree he's stupid." she said looking downward. I could see the other boy, Erik, hair change color. Blue tent meaning sad. "I'm sorry Ralph you not stupid." Emma said to the lizard like boy who ran to Erik after nodding his head to her.
Ralph was adopted by Erik's family who all are mutants. When their father lost his job the kids moved in here. He lost his job after his boss found out they are mutants. The kids already went to school here but now they live here. Their parents come out every weekend to visit them.
The children all got in to their desks and I smile as they all sat down. The front row being Emma and Xacina. Emma being about seven with long black hair that's braided and deep brown eyes. Her pale skin being of a doll like but she's not paper pale. She's always bossy like and have to be right all of the time. When she's not her powers kick in and she feels extremely guilty when it does. She knows right from wrong and tries to do the right thing. Only people who can't be 'convince' she's right is telepathic power mutants.
Xacina is beside her by the wall. She's about four years old. She has light brown hair, almost blond like. It covers the side of her face because of the 'side burns.' She's a mutant that her mutation affected her looks. Her tan skin to her blue eyes looks slightly wrong but not when you see her tail. It's a monkey's tail with the same hair color as her. She's hyperactive and loves sports. Her favorite class is math and she's really good at it too. She always have a book near her and loves to learn. She hates science though. She thinks that if she gets near a lab unless it's Beast's lab they will run experiments on her.
Behind her against the wall is Marco. He's my only Hispanic child. He's about five years old and loves to make himself super thin like paper so he can fit anywhere. He only have his thinning powers right now. His brown eyes and light Hispanic skin makes you curious why any parent would give him up. He's adorable but very troublesome. He loves pranks and good jokes. That's how he got put into my class in first place.
Next in the row behind him is Lilly and Yuna. Yuna is my Japanese child. She's also is called Forgotten. No one can remembers her because when she freaks out her power acts up and it's like she doesn't exists to them any more. She has chin length black hair and dark eyes that seems black too. Her pale skin and always book present. She's four years old and always shy. She knows telepathic power mutants can't forget her for some reason. A lot of my students are like that.
Beside her by the walking way is Lilly. She's three years old and very adorable. She has power of water. She can only move it for so long then loses the strength of moving it. Xavier saved her from her family nearly drowning. They begged him to take her. She had a nightmare and flood the whole house. She likes to float the water over Logan and act like she's going to drop it on him. She does drop it on Scott when he says or does something to upset her. Logan likes her just for that. She has bright blue eyes, like the water she controls, and light blond hair that almost, just almost, looks white. She's also pale and I don't think I've ever seen her outside more then a few minutes.
Dina and Tina are behind them, they are identical twins. They even dress a like. Only way I can tell them apart is way they talk. They are always together. Their dark skin and eyes makes it look like they are normal kids. If you look in to their eyes you will be able to see the strange bolt like slit for pupils. Tina when she does this weird hand thing makes a huge flash of light come out of her body. It's blinding like a lighting flash right in front of you. Dina being her twin in everything but that has the power to make the crackling sound that thunder make. When they are apart they are called Thunder and Light. Together they are the Lighting Twins.
The aisle next to them on the other side of the walkway is Eliza Nightmare. She's five years old and doesn't talk to anyone. She only communicates with Xavier and myself. She says we are the only ones she knows who aren't scared of her. Her biggest fear I can tell is finding someone then they leave her like everyone else. She's smaller than she should be for her age. Her curly brown hair is just mud brown nothing special about it. She has light green eyes with a red circle around the green and another red around the pupils. She's always so sad. She wears clothes that seems so happy on most days but since I met her she started to wear clothes of dark colors. Saying that why bother if not many going to see the real her?
Lauran sits in front of her. She's six years old and slightly a know it all. She's smart and knows what she's talking about. She is hardly ever seen with a book unless it's something to do with whatever her project is right now. She's shy and emo-like in truth. Her eyes are red, not like red brown but blood red as blood when it starts to come out of your skin. He hair is raven black that's shoulder length. She's always wearing a black sweater that covers her arms. I don't think I have ever seen her without it. Her power is controllable but she's scared to control it. I've heard Storm call her a Blood Witch. Apparently she can change blood, anyone's blood, in to weapons and use them against the others.
Ralph and Erik are next. Ralph already explain is a Lizard like mutation. His scaly skin can and I have seen change colors when he extremely scared. Erik has said his little brother's scales also change during certain times of year. Ralph is six and hyper. He's smart and loves board games. He doesn't speak to anyone ever. He lost his voice with his transformation. Erik being only two years older than Ralph is different case. He's pale with slight tan. His hair and eyes change colors upon his mood which is why everyone calls him mood stone. Smart and outgoing. He loves sports and him and Xacina always teams up on everyone else when it comes to a sport like Soccer or Football.
The last two desks in the row in front of them. One to the wall is teacher's aid, or assistant. The one beside it is the 'trouble desk' which only the troublesome kids are put there. The the front of the class is my desk. I sat on it after passing half of the papers to each side. "Okay class." I said smiling to them. "Today because it's so close to Halloween we are going to color." They all cheer. They hate studying. Don't blame them.
When we have to read the younger kids, the ones that are to small to read the real books, gather in circle in back corner of the class and read with Ray. I will teach the others while that's happening. The younger ones also have to draw a picture of what they read which they read as a group not by themselves. No kid before the age of six I don't believe, besides telepathic power kids, can read a huge book by them self. I then shrug the thought off. They start to color their pictures in and talking among themselves softly. This class isn't bad. Only reason they were all place together though all different ages and grades is because of their powers. Either their powers were to distracting in class or they would do something that couldn't help and the other teachers couldn't control. For example, for nearly a whole day Storm thought she was a chicken because Emma called her one. That's my QUE as a telepathic power base mutant their powers don't work the same way with me. My Empathic powers prevent me from being completely under their control or anything like that. Also I can tell when what they did was on purpose or accident.
Ray skip around the class looking over everyone's pages mostly to see what they are coloring. Each kid picked out which of four pictures to color. I smile and tried not to laugh as she did so. I walked out because Dina raised her hand. As I walked between the rows that has Marco on one side of me and Erik and Ralph on other I then felt the world coming up at me. I hit the ground face first. "Ouch." I roll over to my butt and rub my face looking around to the snickering kids and Ray. "Who did that?!" I scream checking over them carefully.
"Miss Harper, you fell on your own." Xacina said laughing.
"She's right Harp, you trip over your own two feet." Ray said helping me up. I whimper. I'm such a freaking klutz!
She laugh as I dust myself off then found out what Dina and Tina need. "We wanted to ask what are we going to do with these when done?" Dina asked.
"Like yeah? Are you like gonna keep them? Or Like are we putting them on the walls?" Tina asked leaning to her sister's shoulder. The did the cute little, we are innocent face.
"What do you two think we should do?" I asked them. They looked to each other and smile. I don't like that look they are sharing. Not at all.
"What about the we hang them up" Dina started in their freak-ish speaking at same time like identical twins are pictured to do.
"in the Danger Room?" Tina finish. I wanted to laugh at how idiotic that idea is but instead I took a deep breathe and smiled sweetly.
"We can't do that though." I told them softly.
"Then the Professor's office?" They asked at the same time. Still creepy how they do that.
"If it's okay with him." I smiled and then they start to bounce in their seats. I smile walking back to the front and sat down on my desk. After class I brought the papers, with the twins and Yuna, to the Professor. He smile knowing what they were going to ask and took them. The twins helped him hang them up around his room and I found this slightly funny but really cute.
End of the day I laugh sitting on the couch and somehow Alina ended up with a kid asleep in her lap. "Help me!" She scream whisper to us. I went to her and pick up Lauran slowly. She's softly cling to me and with Alina's help I brought Lauran back to her room to go to sleep in her own bed. I saw from corner of my eye Scott watching us but didn't say anything. After I put her to bed and Alina and I checked on her room mate, no other than Yuna, we left and went back to the front. Scott by now was fighting with Logan, again.
"Seriously, you two both have adamantium poles!" I yelled at them aggravated at them fighting. Wolverine, aka Logan, got it right away and smile at me. Scott didn't get it at first so I palm-face. "He," I pointed at Logan "Has adamantium as his bones. You have an adamantium pole up your ass!" I screamed at him. I then storm off with his protesting about my comment.
I got in to the Din and sat down the two laughing girls. "What?" I asked innocently.
"You did not just tell THE CYCLOPES that!" Ray kept laughing.
"That was awesome." Alina said calming down her laughing to a light giggle.
"He deserved it." I stated simply shrugging them off.
Before long we went to bed but before we did I made a quick stop at the basement lab. I wanted to check on Amber before I went to sleep. I walked in and saw that Amber somehow fell asleep with Hank's book on her chest. He's sitting at his desk writing something. "How she get your book?" I asked startling him.
"She couldn't sleep so she kept sneaking out of bed to get it. I kept asking her to sleep but eventually I gave up." He told me and I smiled.
"That's my girl." I stated. He gave me a strange look but didn't press on it.
"She's doing better but this illness is like none I've ever seen before." He told me and I frown at that knowledge.
"Will she die?" I ask scared now.
"I don't believe so. She's strong for her age." He said smiling to me. It wasn't as scary as I would think. I smile again and start to walk away.
"Hey, Doc." I said turning my head to look at him.
"Hm?" He didn't fully turn around.
"Take good care of my girl please." I said and with that I left.
As I was walking out of the door I swear I heard him say, "I'll take good care of our girl."
