When I woke up the next morning I could hear my alarm clock going off loudly in my ears. I threw my hand to the side and pushed it off and onto the floor, effectively turning it off. I pushed my self out of bed, only to land in a heap on the floor.
I grabbed my sheets and hauled my self to my feet, but still swayed slightly from laziness. Yawning I shuffled over to the small dresser and pulled open on of the drawers. I took out a long sleeved black tee shirt and some skinny jeans and socks. I quickly changed out of my nightclothes and into some actual clothes. I shuffled over to the side of mu bed and pulled on my converse, barely even tying the laces.
Rubbing sleep out of my eyes I walked to the door and turned the knob. I pushed the door open and stumbled out into the brightly lit hallway. "Ugh the light, it burns!" I covered my eyes and tried to move forward without having to look. Some idiot had left their shoes outside of their room and it resulted in my face cruelly meeting the floor with a satisfying thump.
I was to tired to move so I just laid there, hopefully some one would come by and find my body. Then they could take me to breakfast, I was to tired. A few seconds later the door next to me opened up, "Is the whittle girlie to tired to go to breakfast today?" I glanced up at the teasing face above me my silver eyes meeting crystal blue ones. "Go away Iggy, I must sleep!" I dropped my head back on the carpet and closed my eyes.
I heard the older boy sigh then hands wrapped around my waist, that alone was enough to shock me awake. I spun around and kicked the toucher right in the stomach. Iggy stumbled back and I shot up to my feet. I stood still for a second before I realized what I had just done. I stepped forward slowly, "Sorry.."
He looked up at me and grinned, "Its ok, geez you pack a kick though!" He shook his head, still trying to catch his breath. I grinned slowly then backed up towards the dining hall, "I will meet you in the mess hall.." he nodded and slowly stood up. He turned and grabbed his door frame and limped back inside.
Grimacing I turned and hurried towards the hall, I didn't want to miss anything. When I got there everyone minus Iggy was already there and eating some sort of mush. The entire room smelt like sweaty feet and mud. I pinched the bridge of my nose and waved the nasty smell away.
I gagged, "What is that!" I couldn't help but pretend to throw up. Nick laughed and wrinkled his nose up in an exact replica of my own. Giggling he turned to his sister and did the face to her. She laughed and rolled her eyes at his antics.
Nick turned back to me, "We call it mush, but no one knows what it is for sure..." He looked at the bowl of stuff and poked it suspiciously. Then he threw it up into the air, "It winked at me, its ALIVE!" screaming he ducked under the table just before the bowl came crashing back down onto his chair. I could hear him giggling under the table and Bella reached under and lifted him back up.
"Clean this up, now!" Nick sniffed then gave her the cutest puppy dog eyes ever! She scoffed and flipped her hair over her shoulder, "I am your sister that doesn't work on me!"
The little boy scowled, "I didn't want to do this.." He gave her what was supposed to be a threatening glare, "KeeYaw! Vulcan Death-Grip!" He lept up and pushed down on his sisters shoulder. "Die, evil woman, die!" She looked over at me and shrugged her one shoulder that wasn't under attack. Then she reached over and pulled her brothers hand off her pressure point.
Laughing she spun him around and pulled his arm back around to his back and held him there. "Got you!" She sang. Nick laughed and phased through her so he was behind her.
"No! I've got you!" Then he jumped onto her back and proceeded to grab and pull her hair. I walked over to the table and grabbed a banana. Xander had out a video camera and was grinning happily.
"Want an apple?" He held out a small apple to me. I laughed, "So this is normal huh?" he nodded quickly, his eyes never leaving the fight. I sat down behind him and watched the two siblings. Nick definitely had the advantage, with his phasing and all. But Bella was holding her own. Nick had just phased through her for the fifth time and just as he finished going through her she brought a chair over her head, successfully hitting him in the legs when he turned solid again.
He fell to the ground, "No fair!" He screamed, he tried to stand up, but he fell down his ankle quickly spraining from the hit. He looked up at his sister then started wailing. I could hear Xander snickering in front of me and he shut the camera off and started walking over to the siblings. Nick was crying big time, and holding his ankle like if he let go it might fly off.
Bella was trying to pry his hands off so she could heal it. But I doubted he was letting go anytime soon. And as if things couldn't get any worse, Iggy walked in, "Whats with the noise! Bella what happened!"
She glanced up at him with a, are you kidding me, look then went back to prying off each little finger from Nick's ankle. Xander stepped forward and flipped open his camera, "Voila!" then he turned it on and the huge fight began again. When it was over Iggy was laughing hard, and walked over to Nick.
"Stop being a baby Nick, let go of your ankle and let your sister heal it." then he knelt down to get right of his face, "If we had been on a job and this had happened.." He paused and motioned to the young boys ankle, "Would you have whined like this? Or would you have gone straight to your sister and let her heal you so you could have kept going?"
Nick sniffed then got this thinking look on his face. Slowly he said,"I would have gone to my sister.." The look on his face reminded me of a puppy that had just completed a particularly hard trick. Hopeful, and excited, and eager to please his master.
Iggy nodded,"Good answer!" he leaned forward and ruffled Nicks hair. I was surprised, the boy was a natural leader. Iggy looked over at me and waltzed over. Leaning forward he plucked the apple from my hand. Staring into my eyes he took a bite, he leaned forward and BOOM he shoved my head forward and ran off laughing. I scoffed and stood back up, quickly brushing my hair back into place. And I thought he was a leader... leader of the two year old's!
"Ok the time for tricks are over! We need to go and train!" Iggy was standing at the other side of the room, beckoning us towards a smaller door beside him. Everyone started to jog over so I joined the group. Iggy opened the open and as I rushed by I heard him snickering behind me. I reached back and tried to hit him, but I ended up just swatting air.
I followed the others as they made their way into a large room, a very bare room. I walked up to the center and spun around, I was right there was nothing in here. I tapped my shoe on the floor, metal. The walls were the same, strange. I looked over at the others and slowly took a deep breath, these people were crazy! How could they train in here, there is nothing in here!
"So! What do ya think? Is it the best room or what!" I knew they were probably expecting me to go along with it or something but I didn't want to look like a fool so I just rolled my eyes instead. "Are you kidding! There is not a training room! This is a metal room!"
All of them started smiling and Xander opened up a mini computer thing on his arm. I jogged over to him and peeked over his shoulder. He put in this long pass-code and pushed the GO button. "And now we enjoy the show!" He was beaming and I knew that he must have had a part in whatever was going to happen.
All of a sudden a rumbling started up and the floor started to shake under my feet. Then in the center of the room the ground flipped to reveal a stage now set in the center. At one end was a computer on a stand, most likely the control panel. All around the stage, in a ring pattern were targets and one huge super-computer at the very end of the large room.
"WILMA!" Xander shouted and the purple haired freak scampered across the room over to the computer, "I've missed you sooo much!" Smiling he hugged the giant screen. I turned to the rest of the screen and cleared my throat, "Wilma? He named it?"
I heard a scream from the other side of the room, "Wilma is not an it! She is as real as you and me!" then Xander went back to stroking the keyboard, muttering about how, "We just didn't understand.." Right we didn't understand the obviously crazed geek boy and his magically alive super computer!
"So do we train now?" I looked to Nick who in turn smiled at me and ran up to the stage, "I call going first!" He then proceeded to dance all around the stage singing at the top of his lungs.
"Did he have the Sugar Pops again Bells?" Iggy asked. Bella sighed and hurried over to the control panel. "So I'm taking that as a yes then?" Laughing he started walking over to her and the kid. I hung back, waiting for him to go ahead of me.
When we finally got to the stage Bella had just pressed the start button on the screen. Immediately a small scene came up on the stage, a hologram. It was a street, real run down and crummy. Nick seemed to toughen up right before my eyes. He ran down the streets, seeming to know right where to go. And what freaked me out was that the ground moved under his feet so that he never really moved. Like he was on a treadmill.
He must have finally reached where he needed to go cause he slowed down and went into the shadows that a building was casting in the dim lamplight. He glanced around the side of the building and the stage rotated so he was looking straight at us, but he didn't wave or smile. Like we weren't even there, it freaked me out. He slowly slipped around the edge of the building and I heard Bella muttering under her breath. Nick pressed his hand up to his ear and nodded. And that's when I realized, she was feeding him information on what to do in the exercise!
Then I heard her mutter, "I'm going in.." His eyes flickered to a sigh that said, Central Bank, and I saw a faint out line of a girl going onto the front door. Cool! All of a sudden Bella screamed and bullets came ripping through the door. Bella smiled and looked at us, "Was that realistic enough? Or should I have like started gasping first?" Everyone assured her that it was fine, but I was watching Nick. His eyes narrowed and with a scream of rage he went hurtling towards the doors.
"NO!" Bella moaned, "Stay in position!" she whimpered. She looked at all of us, then more specifically at my confused face, "He always does this, its a bad habit and we are trying to cut him out of it." I nodded quickly, that made sense. If he got himself caught or killed the entire team would pay. But right before he burst through the doors he stopped, taking a few breaths he stepped back and went back to his position. "Yes!" Bella cheered, "He didn't go in!" She turned and high-fived Iggy. Who just turned and smirked at my amused face.
Bella ran over to the control panel and shut the exercise off. As soon as Nick saw his sister he lept up into her arms sobbing, "I thought you were really dead! I thought they had actually killed you!" he buried his face in her shoulder and sobbed away. Bella pulled him off the stage and tried to calm the small boy down.
Iggy glanced at me, "Your turn!" I gave him my best Bat-glare. He laughed and reached over to try and ruffle mu hair. No one touches my hair! I reached out and twisted his hand behind his back and pulled on it, "Say uncle!" He just started laughing. So I pulled harder, which just made him laugh even more. When he refused to give in I let go, I didn't want to waste energy on this anyway.
"Ok Danni, your turn!" I looked over at Bella, who had finished calming Nick, and stepped up to the center of the stage. The last thing I saw was her pushing several buttons, then darkness. A couple seconds the lights came back on, but when they did I was somewhere else, a warehouse I think. There were several lights above me, but most of them were burned out, leaving plenty of shadows all around the deserted room. I took a couple of steps forward and I was surprised when I couldn't feel the ground under my feet move. So I took a couple more steps forward and looked at the floor in front of me. It didn't move.
So it was a completely modified hologram then, impressive.. I slowly started to creep towards the shadow to my left, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do here but I knew that I probably would need cover. As soon as the darkness of the shadow overtook me I pushed my self onto the wall, happy to be hid for a moment. Then I saw the giant door on the opposite side of the warehouse open up. A shadow was thrown across the room, making the person silhouetted against the light behind them look much larger than they actually were.
The person walked in slowly, creeping around and snooping in whatever boxes were close to them. All of a sudden a crackling came in my ear. "Danni can you hear me?" my head flew up and I looked around, Bella! But where was she? Then I remembered, she was probably feeding me information, just like Nick. I nodded, knowing she could see me. I could hear her laughing, "Ok good! You see the dude over in the corner snooping around?" I could hear Xander yelling in the background that the 'dude' had a name.
She sighed, "Fine! Do you see Aster Ross? Ya the dude in the corner?" I nodded and fixed my eyes on him, he was coming closer so I started to slide along the wall, making sure I didn't make even one tiny sound.
"OK so he's is a self-proclaimed mob boss, but the only thing he's the boss of is his loser wife, she is much more evil than he is." I heard Xander come back over the com unit, "Yea she makes a mean Martini!" I smiled as I heard the smacking of a hand against a head. "Anyway.. you need to sneak over there and take him out, it doesn't matter how, just do it!"
My eyes widened, "You mean kill him!" I wasn't ready for that, I couldn't!
"Yes! He isn't real, and most likely we wont ever have to take a job like this but you need to be ready! What if he's trying to attack you cause I can program it to.." I shook my head quickly, "Nuh uh! I'll go, hold on a sec..." Then I reached into my shirt and carefully pulled out my leather bag.
"Hey! There's kids in here keep this rated G please!" Xander was creaming his head off and I smiled slowly as I untied the string on top and reached inside. My hand closed around a small glass vial and I pulled it out slowly. I crept around the walls until I was about ten yards from my target then I reached back and with a small grunt I flung the val with all of the power I could muster. At the last moment before it collided with his face the man looked up and me and I saw something that made me regret it, sadness. I screamed and lept forward to try and stop it but it was too late. As soon as it hit him the contents exploded. Sending me crashing back into the wall.
A few seconds after the explosion the wall behind me disappeared, and I fell back onto the floor. My face hurt, and so did my hands. I slowly raised my hands in front of my face, they were burned all over, I knew my face was probably the same. A childish thought was brought to mind, what if its only my left eye.. Then I could be like Zuko! I chuckled but grimaced when the action made my mouth hurt even more.
"Danni! Are you ok.." Bella trailed off, staring at my face probably assessing the damage. She slowly walked forward and put her hands on my face turning it this way and that. "What was in those vials!" Her hands started glowing but I pulled away quickly.
"Exploding stuff, and I want to see what it looks like!" She bit her lip but shrugged, "Ok.." then she sent Nick running for a mirror. When he finally came back he slowly handed it to Bella, who in turn slowly turned it around and let it face me. I was wrong, it looked nothing like Zuko's scar, it covered the entire right and bottom half of my face, even going down to my neck and underneath my top. I slowly picked up my bag, which was laying next to me.
"These things sure do pack a punch huh?" They all laughed unsurely and I nodded to Bella and closed my eyes. I felt her hands slowly come back to rest on my face, and begin healing it. I must have dosed off cause when I woke up someone was shaking me awake, with no pain involved!
"C'mon your gong to bed, once again.." I slowly opened my eyes to be met with Iggy's blue ones. Grabbing his arm I was able to haul myself up. Slowly I raised my hand and touched my face, I couldn't feel a scar at all. Iggy laughed, "You are such a typical girl! The first thing you do is touch your face! No 'Thanks Ig-Master for waking me up!' Oh no! Looks before gratitude!" I laughed at him and socked him on the arm, "Thanks Ig-Master!"
He smiled at me and bowed, "Your welcome Danni-son!" Laughing I did the same. This time when he held out his arm I accepted. He turned and started to walk out of the facility, "Wait! What about your training!" he turned and gave me this pointed look.
"What are you talking about! I have already done my training!" Then he did the little Jedi mind trick hand motion thing in front of my face, "You will forget you ever said that underling!" I turned my face blank and nodded to him, "Yes Ig-Master, whatever you say!" his face turned happy one moment then grumpy the next.
"Ah no fair! That's foul play!" I chuckled and turned him back around and walked over to the control panel. I glanced up at him, "Now what do I do?" He leaned over me and pushed a button that said, "Self Scan" Then he walked up to the center of the stage and waited. After a second or two a small scanner thing came out of the ground and went around him. After a couple of rotations it quickly slid back into the ground. A small whirring sound went through the air and instantly he was in an arctic tundra. I smiled evilly, perfect.
On a small hill thing I could see someone staring down at him, and after a second I saw that Iggy saw it to. He cried out a battle yell and blasted fire through his feet, sailing through the air.
The figure on the hill appeared to be a woman, she had short white hair and a tight body suit, which was quite revealing if you ask me. As he was landing he swung his foot around, shooting fire at her in huge amounts. She flipped back and began throwing ice daggers at him, which he easily vaporized.
I zoned out for a moment and just kinda stood there looking into space, until I heard the sound of the stage powering down. Iggy was standing over the woman's unconscious body, smiling as he brushed some snow from his eyes. When the hologram finally faded away he looked at me, "So how was that!"
I shrugged, "I don't know I kinda zoned out.." His jaw dropped and he blinked at me for a couple of moments, "You did what! But my fights are always the most interesting!" I chuckled and turned towards the door, "Apparently not!" I could hear him stomping off the stage and I looked over to Xander who was typing away on his Wilma, I mean super-computer.
"C'mon buddy! We are leaving!" he shot up out of his seat and was by my side in about five seconds. "We're buddies! Do ya mean!" I raised my eyebrows, "Sure?" his grin only got wider, he spun around and gave Iggy two thumbs up then he hooked his arm through mine and pulled me towards the rooms.
"C'mon buddy! Lets go!" He pushed open the door and we left the training room to the soundtrack of Iggy's laughter.
