Means a thought

Chapter 2

Claire's POV

After the conversations began to thin out and people began returning to their daily activities, I took it upon myself to look around. I walked into a room that looked like an entertainment room because it had a TV, a foosball table and a pool table and saw Crystal and Evan talking. I walked right back out figuring I'd explore that room a little later on. Now don't get me wrong I had no problem with Evan but he just always seemed like the know it all/in your business type. The very type of personality I did my best not to associate with. I decided to head back up to my room and collect my thoughts, I walked into what I thought was my room and walked in on Jean and Scott having an in depth conversation or should I say argument about 'Duncan' I guess one of them were craving Dunkin Donuts and the other wasn't.

"Opps, I'm sorry, big house…just trying to find my room."

Jean smiled her ever so 'happy to help' smile and said "Down the hall and too your left."

I thanked her and closed the door. Seems like every ones talking to some guy

I followed her advice and just as I turned left I ran into Robin and Kitty who barely noticed I was there.

"Oh… Claire." Robin stopped herself just before we clonked foreheads. She laughed.

"Hey" Kitty said as she extended her hand. "I know I said it like a million times but it's really nice to meet you." I smiled and took her hand for the third time that day and shook it. "We're actually about to head out, and see some sights and some people, care to join us?"

I thought about it for a second and then realized someone really didn't want me to get to my room. "Sure, I'll go. Thanks."

"Like no problem."

I grabbed my bag and we were out the door. Kitty filled us in on the school we would be going to and the rules that she found useful when it came to being a mutant in a non-mutant dominated school. Robs and I listened intently, this was our unofficial survival guide and we didn't take it for granted. After she finished and a few minutes of silence I decided to ask her the question that was on my mind.

"Hey Kitty…"

"Yeah"

"Um, what about these Brotherhood of Mutants? What are they like?"

She smiled. "They're not all terrible." She laughed. "They just basically don't like to live by the rules."

"Oh…So what about fighting them? I mean I'm not scared but I mean really fighting people"

"We don't rough em' up to bad." She giggled. "Actually my boyfriend is on that team."

"Really?!" Robin and I said in disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm telling you there really not that bad, misunderstood I guess..." She paused. "Wanna go meet them?"

"Yeah!" Robin jumped in.

"Uhh, sure."

"Cool," she looked to me. "Now really don't be afraid. First uncomfortable vibe you get just let me know and we'll like get outta there, kay?"

"Cool" I said more reassured.

We took a couple more right turns and were at a dingy house. It wasn't terrible but of course, it wasn't the best. Bur I steeled my back while we walked up to the front door. Kitty knocked and we waited about two minutes, I was starting to think no one was home but then the door opened. And when it did I was speechless. Standing right in the doorway had to be the hottest guy I had ever seen! He had gelled black hair and not to mention his body was well toned. I looked to Robin, she looked back at me. After what seemed like an eternity of their small talk I gave Kitty a small nudge.

"Opps," Kitty bonked her head. "My manners…Yusuke this is Robin and Claire." She said pointing to me. I was looking him over from the bottom up when I caught his eyes with mine. He smiled and took a bite from the apple that was in his right hand. I looked away to not make myself look stupid.

"So are you like gonna let us in or what?"

"Yeah come on in." He replied, damn his voice was sexy.

I silently prayed to myself that he wasn't Kitty's boyfriend.

"Lance!" he yelled through the house. "Kitty's here!" He walked back into the kitten and grabbed a napkin. "You guys can sit in there if you want." He pointed to what seemed like a family room. Kitty sat on the love seat, Robin took a couch by the doorway and I sat on a couch against a wall by the TV. He came and sat on the arm of the chair I was sitting on. I subtly took a deep breath to calm myself, I definitely wasn't ever like this around guys, even cute guys. I mean I could meet em, kiss em, and leave them all in one day. I mean I'm not sleazy with it of course I do have my respect. I turned my attention to Yusuke as he opened his mouth to ask a question.

"So Kitty, you brought friends." He said glancing at me and Robin again. "You never bring friends."

Kitty laughed. "They're new to the institute so I thought I'd show them around."

He laughed harder than her. "And you brought them here, I'm sure Logan will have a hell of a laugh with that one." Robin gave him a glare that he didn't catch. I laughed not exactly sure what he meant. "I'll be right back." He left me, Kitty and Robin to have our own conversation.

Yusuke's POV

I opened the front door and all I could think was Well,well,well. Usually Kitty comes here by herself, I don't know what would make her bring two other girls.

"Hey Yusuke."

"Hey Kitty, what's up?"

"Nothing much we just stopped by for a second."

"Oh okay that's cool, you're going out?" I took a bite outta my apple, which was the last edible thing I could find in this house.

"No just stopping in."

"Oh."

"Opps," Kitty bonked her head. "My manners…Yusuke this is Robin and Claire." She said pointing to a girl with light silver hair and then pointed to a girl with jet black hair. She was gorgeous. I caught my eyes with hers and she looked away. I smiled and took another bite out of my apple.

"So are you like gonna let us in or what?"

"Yeah come on in." I replied.

"Lance! Kitty's here!" I walked into the kitchen to grab a napkin. "You guys can sit in there if you want." I had said which I don't even know why I said it because I barely had more then a small conversation with Kitty. I took the closest seat to Claire I could get without being insane and started up conversation.

"So Kitty, you brought friends." I glanced from Claire to Robin again. "You never bring friends."

Kitty laughed. "They're new to the institute so I thought I'd show them around."

I laughed harder than her. "And you brought them here, I'm sure Logan will have a hell of a laugh with that one." I left it at that. "I'll be right back." I got up and headed for the kitchen.

"Hey Pietro, take a look who's here."

"Yeah, Yeah I heard you, Kitty." He said racing around the kitchen. "Isn't there anything to eat around here?"

"Nah, not Kitty her friends."

"Friends? Kitty never brings friends. We'll have to meet later. Like I'd want to meet anymore X geeks." He said walking out of the kitchen. I watched him walk into the family room. "Yo Lance, we got anymore..." He stopped mid sentence

"Hey Pietro, this is Robin and Claire, girls this is Pietro." Lance said trying to cover up his friends' dumb look. "Let me help you with..." Lance stopped probably just realizing Pietro hadn't finished his sentence before. "We'll be right back." I heard one of the girls laughing. I was sitting at the table drinking a soda when they came back into the kitchen.

Pietro laughed. "Yo, did you see who's in there?"

"Kitty?" I said sarcastically.

"Nah, not just Kitty, man, those two new hot chicks in there. And that one with the light hair…"He didn't even need to finish his sentence.

I laughed. "Black hair is more my style."

"I do like dark hair myself." Lance added in. We both stopped and stared at him.

"Dude, you got Kitty."

"Uh yeah that's what I meant."

Pietro side glanced him. "Right"

We talked for a few more minutes before heading back in.

Back in the Family Room

Robin's POV

"Do those guys have any idea how loud they talk?" I asked

"Or that the kitchen is definitely in the next room." Claire said. We laughed.

Kitty folded her hands over her chest. "Lance better watch himself." We laughed again, and this time Kitty joined in. Our attention turned to the doorway as we watched Lance, Yusuke and Pietro pile back in. We all sat in silence for a minute.

"So, you guys are new around here." Pietro asked. I took the time to scope him out. I had only caught a glimpse before but it was just enough to determine that he was someone I would definitely keep my eye on. His sexy sleeked back hair coupled with his laid back attitude and completely toned body practically made me scream in my seat. But I stifled my self to answer his question.

"Uh yeah, we actually just got to the institute today. It's pretty ok, from what I've seen so far."

"Really?" he turned toward me. "You don't think everyone there is too happy?" he smiled. Damn!

"Hey nothing's wrong with being happy Pietro."

"Of course not Kitty, but as you know it's just not my style."

"Oh yeah, I know." She laughed, and turned away to talk to Lance.

"So Robin, I take it you'll be going to Bayville?"

I giggled nervously but did my best to stay in control. I wonder if he could tell. "Bayville what?"

"High School, haven't they told you anything yet?"

"Oh, most likely we didn't really discuss much other then where we'll be rooming and stuff."

"Oh alright."

I searched for a topic to keep the conversation from ending. "So, do you guys have any instructors or professors or anything here?"

He laughed. "Not really, no, nothing like that around here. I mean we have a person whose stops by every so often to 'check' on us." He said emphasizing the word 'check'."

"That's pretty cool, no one to breathe down your neck on the regular."

"Well I'm guessing cuz you guys are new that'll happen but not for too long." He slid over and sat down next to me. "I mean you could always live here to get away from all that."

I laughed "I don't think I'd be able to do that without getting my head ripped off."

"And why's that?"

"My dad would kill me."

"Your dad."

"Oh, well Yusuke seems to know him, Logan."

"LOGAN!" he practically jumped out his skin. I broke into laughter.

"I guess my dad is pretty big and bad around here."

"That guy hates me!"

"Oh really? Why?" I asked genuinely interested.

"Ah, it's nothing too bad." He said turning away. I let him bask in his thoughts for a second. I studied his side profile. Wondering what I was doing. If we're supposed to be fighting these guys then what the hell are we doing here? Why does Kitty's boyfriend live here? How does this work, and most importantly…

I guided back into conversation with a laugh. "Did I scare you?"

He turned back towards me straightening his back. "Of course not"

I took the chance to put my hand on his leg. "Well that's good." I pulled it back thinking maybe I was being too forward, that he would only think of me as a fast girl, but it was just so weird, I felt as if I've known him for sooo long. I heard a jingle coming from across the room, and looked up. It was Claire's cell phone. Her all too familiar mortuary tone which meant it was a message from her sister.

I turned toward her. "Crystal?"

She sighed. "Yeah, wondering where we are."

"Thirsty?" Pietro cut in. "I'll be right back." He sped out of the room and made my hair blow half way across my face. So, super speed huh He came back in with two glasses of water and handed on to me and one to Claire. Aww at least he's sweet. I looked to Claire who had already begun take a drink. I saw that a drop fell from the side of the glass onto Claire's skin and began trailing itself down Claire's arm between her sleeve and glove. Yusuke went to move it. I practically jumped out of my skin.

"Don't-!" Kitty and I yelled

"NO" Claire yelled. But we were just a second too late. He passed out cold on the couch. We all stood there shocked.
