Ch 4-This has got to be a dream
AN: okay, okay i know i have been gone forever. sorry. hold off on the torches and pitchforks. i just wanted to post this and then i will prbly be gone for another long period of time. but i will try to post now that i have found the notebook the story was written in. and now ch 4. oh and words like words are thoughts.
Oh yeah. This is real nice. I ask for an explanation and get sent to a room until they figure out what to do with me. Well, at least I found out I'm a mutant. That's something. But what did the professor mean when he said he knew what my power is? How did I get Logan's claws and healing ability? And that must have been Logan's temper as well...that could have ended badly if Logan hadn't come in when he did.
As I look around my new room, I spot my bookbag. How did that get here? Well, even though I can't remember what I was doing before I woke up in this weird place, I always have my bag with me. But who got it? I didn't have it with me when I ran away from those guys in the slaughter house. I begin to rummage through my books; I find my comics and look for my favorites.
"Hi, are you, like, hungry? The Professor told me you might, like, want something to eat." I whirl around and see a young girl, about sixteen like me, with brown hair pulled back into a preppy little ponytail, holding a box from some pizza place.
"Hi, um yeah, I guess I am a little hungry." I say in a soft voice, my shyness kicking in like it does everytime I meet someone for the first time.
"Sorry if I, like, scared you. I'm Kitty Pryde." she says, acting like meeting someone new is the greatest thing in the world.
"I'm Nikki. Nice to meet you...So, uh, what do y'all do around here for fun? Got internet?" I say, trying to make small talk and failing miserably. But Kitty actually goes along with it and humors me.
"Yeah. Fastest that there is right now. We also have stables with plenty of horses to choose from. We have a swimming pool, tennis courts, baseball field, and, like, tons of other stuff. We also have a garage on the lower levels that has a lot of cars, if you're into them." she offers me a slice of pizza as she sits on the bed beside me. Taking it, I'm surprised how fast I eat it. Guess I was hungrier than I thought.
After a couple of moments of silence besides chewing and swallowing, I ask about the garage she mentioned. "So...about these cars. Are there any street racing type cars?"
"Um, yeah, actually I think there are, like, a couple."
Getting excited, I set my pizza down. "Really? Like ones with nitrous and everything?" Before she can answer though, the can that I am holding falls to the ground. I didn't drop it or anything, it just went straight through my hand. Kitty shrieks as I then slip straight through the floor like a ghost. She tries to grab me but her hands go right through me, same as the can did. The look of shock on my face disappears as Kitty runs to get someone. The last thing I see is her going through the door. Then my head passes through the floor. This is Kitty's power. To rearrange her molecules around those of other objects. I've figured out what my power is. Or at least one part of my power. I can mimic the powers of other mutants. I don't know why it only happens at certain times though. I begin to panic as I continue to fall, floor after floor. Maybe I can control the power. I desperately concentrate trying to stop my fall. Suddenly, gravity regains its hold on me as I pass through another floor. Crap. is all I have time to think before I fall to the ground...hard. My ankle snaps and is not in a natural position. Ow. I bite my lip trying to hold back a cry of pain.
Time to see what else there is to this power. I think about Logan's power and focus on healing my ankle. I gasp as the pain begins to fade and then returns sharply as my focus slips. Once the healing is done, I climb to my feet and look around. Okay, it's incredibly dark. That tells me a lot about where I am...not. Sighing, I begin opening doors, trying to find a way back up. I never notice the blood red eyes stalking me from the shadows.
yep. 'nother cliffy. i'll try to update as soon as possible but i'm a little busy at the moment. please review!
