Thanks to all the reviews. Sorry I took so long to update. I've had one of those years where I just wish I could put X 23's trigger scent on almost everyone. Those of you who signed the review I answered your questions in email and for the others here you go.
Tokyo Fox- Uhhhh come again? I don't think Jubilee's ever been in New Mutants 2003, New X-Men Academy X or the new, New X-Men unless I've missed her appearance. Jubes one of my favs, so I wish they wouldn't have given her such a bum deal as of late.
I'm not happy with this chapter, but I can't find the other version of it I wrote.
CHAPTER 3
A week later
Kevin shut the door to his room and backed away from it. His eyes darted over to his metal dresser and he considered trying to push it in front of the door. He wondered if even that would be able to keep that relentless girl out? Kevin listened for the sounds of Sofia's footsteps outside his door and when they didn't come he collapsed on the bed breathing a sigh of relief.
The room is his alone, at the time being, because of his powers. The room looked somewhat like a normal teenagers room with a messy bed, metal dresser with a CD player on top of it with a few scattered CDs around it, and a metal desk that was mostly bare except for a few notebooks. A few dark clothes littered the floor along with a few art magazines and of course the occasional piece of industrial art that sat in a corner. Some more industrial art sat on the shelves of a bookcase. Just by looking at the room you wouldn't guess that secret torment lied behind the green eyes of the owner.
A knock came on the window and Kevin drew a breath. It couldn't be…She wouldn't…Would she?
The teenager stood up and slowly walked to the window. Once there he pulled back the blinds and let out the breath he was holding when no one was there. He was getting way too paranoid. Curious still, Kevin put the blinds over his back and unlocked the window before pushing it open. One of his hands returned to holding back the blinds, and he leaned slightly out the window.
"I knew I could find you here!" Sofia flew down from above, startling the male teenager. He jumped back, hitting his head on the window and letting go of the blinds which hit him in the back.
Kevin shuved the blinds to the side and gave Sofia a dark look. "Why do you keep bugging me?"
"I've known you for a year now and I realized I haven't talked to you much."
"Sofia, some people know each other since their whole lives and never speak to each other more than a few times. Why the sudden interest?"
"I never see you do anything, so I thought you might like to."
"Go away." He let the blinds drop back into place and walked away from the window.
Sofia wasn't going to let him get away this time and moved the blinds out of her way as she flew into the room. She landed on her feet as he turned back around. "Just because your afraid you might touch someone shouldn't keep you from doing something that could be fun. Most of my friends are gone for the summer. Its out chance to maybe become friends. I would like to at least try."
"If I try this than decide not to do it will you leave me alone?"
Sofia nodded. "Only if you give it a shot."
Kevin opened his bedroom door. "I'll be there. Tomorrow."
A big smile formed on Sofia's face. "See you at dinner!" She left the room and Kevin closed the door.
