Thank you to everyone who reviewed! I don't own X-Men: Evolution! Only Selena and Jason!
Chapter 3
Dr. Halliwell walked briskly through the door that led to the room where he could monitor his daughter's room.
"Sir she hasn't moved in 13 hours," One of the doctors stated. Dr. Halliwell looked over to see a 7 year old Selena huddled in a corner with her head tucked behind her knees. He sighed and walked out of the room and into Selena's where he kneeled down with fake concern on his normally blank face.
"Sweetie what's wrong?"
"Just go away," Selena mumbled, "I can hear and it's so confusing….. They won't stop talking. I don't know what's true. Are you bad? Am I bad?" She continued to go on, not making any sense.
"Baby what are you talking about?" Dr. Halliwell asked, much more curious than concerned.
"T-the voices, they won't stop. Just go away your making it worse!" Selena yelled, her face still hidden in her knees.
"Sir we believe that she is talking about the telepathy power that we injected into her yesterday. It seemed to have taken hold of her DNA but it is having negative side effects and will possibly kill her," A doctor explained through the ear piece in Dr. Halliwell's ear.
"Sweetie come on. I will make the voices go away," Dr. Halliwell promised and extended a hand in Selena's direction after standing up. Selena slightly lifted her head, her still innocent blue eyes filled with tears; she thought for a second before grabbing his hand. They walked out of the room hand in hand until assorted soldiers and doctors poured out of a room and pulled Selena away from her dad.
"No Daddy! Don't let them take me! I don't want more needles!" Selena screamed and her father a strapped to a large metal table. The doctors began rolling the table into a large metal tube and that's when Selena lost it.
"NO! DADDY DADDY! DON'T LET THEM!" she shrieked, even at her young age she knew the pain that this machine would cause. After the machine was securely sealed shut Dr. Halliwell walked in.
"Sir should we commence the program?" Dr. Halliwell nodded and the doctors began pressing assorted buttons and keys until the machine glowed to life. Selena's blood curdling scream was heard though the 2 inches of metal as if she was standing right there.
I woke up to someone shaking me awake and instinctively I shot my hand out, sending the attacker into the wall. Finally getting a clear view of where I was I realized that I was still in the shitty abandoned house that Leo spotted on our way into some town in Iowa that had only been partially bombed. I looked over to see Jason picking himself up off the ground, a definite Jason sized dent was now the newest edition to the wall.
"Holly shit Jason, haven't you learned not to shake me awake in the morning?" I asked, unsuccessfully holding back laughter.
"You were screaming," He stated and I finally noticed the familiar soreness of my throat.
"Damn, I thought that was over with."
"What was it about this time?" He asked, concerned. God I loved the guy but he can be so annoyingly persistent. Whenever I wake up screaming he always asks what the nightmare was about.
"When they took away the telepathy," I stated simply and gave him a look to drop the subject.
"What do you mean 'they took away telepathy'?" Leo asked from the corner of the room. God damn it, I keep forgetting that he's always with us now and I don't have the privilege of talking about my nightmares openly. Jason and I had decided to not tell the recruits who my dad was because it might question what side I'm on but if someone ever even thinks that I would fight for my dad I will not hesitate to fry them alive.
"Nothing, I'm going for a run," I said. Throwing on my shoes and jacket (not leather) I ran out of the 'house' before anyone could protest. I kept running down the street until I turned the corner and ran straight into some guy, causing us both to fall on our asses.
"Hey watch where you're going!" I shouted and picked myself up off the ground. Before I could even looked down at the guy he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into an ally. I tried to push away after he held me against a wall with one hand over my mouth but for some reason even with my advanced strength I couldn't break free. I managed to turn my head back to the sidewalk just in time to see 10 soldiers run past, guns ready. The mysterious and annoying guy seemed to have deemed the situation safe and let me go.
"Sorry about that, I couldn't let you get caught in the crossfire," He said and brushed his sandy blonde hair out of his eyes.
"What the fuck was that about? Why the hell are the soldiers after you?" I asked and looked him over. He looked about 18 or 19, way too thin, tall, for some reason had a sniper slung across his back, his red tank top was dirty and it looked like he had basically been living on the streets.
"I told you, I couldn't let you get caught in the cross fire," he stated again and I rolled my eyes.
"The cross fire? Of what?"
"Do you know anything about where the government takes mutants after they're captured?" He asked urgently and ignored my last question. I didn't answer him and started walking away; he was obviously a deranged human who had family that was a mutant. Even after walking a couple of blocks I knew that he was still following me.
"What exactly do you want?" I asked but kept walking.
"To figure out why at one point your weakness is water but then its fire and it just keeps changing," he said and I stopped, slowly turning around.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You're a mutant," He stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"How the hell do you know that? Are you from the government," I accused and held him against a building with my telekinesis.
"It's part—of my power," He choked out and I let him fall to the ground.
"Which would be?"
"How do I know I can trust you? I mean you did just almost choke me to death," He pointed out.
"I wouldn't have killed you," I defended then thought about it for a minute, "Okay I probably would have killed you."
"That's really reassuring," he said with a smile. What the hell was he smiling?
"Whatever, I don't think it really matters weather or not I would have killed you or not because I didn't."
"I'm Simon," He introduced but seem wary to give me his name.
"Selena; so you want to join a resistance?" I asked casually.
"A resistance? Against the government?" He looked at me like I was crazy.
"Yes; if you are a mutant then you can help fight."
"Do know anything about where the government bases are. Like the ones where they take the mutants they capture?" I laughed bitterly before answering.
"Why?"
"They took someone I care about and if you can help me get him back I'll fight in your resistance," He offered and I shrugged.
"Ok, but I'm warning you now; your person is not top priority and we need to gather more mutants before we can even think about breaking your dude out," I warned. Simon shrugged and I started walking towards the 'house' that we were staying at. It took a little longer than planned to get to the 'house' because when I was running I didn't exactly look where I was going, thus the run in with Simon.
"Where are we going?" Simon asked.
"I'll tell you when I figure it out." Hopefully Jason would be looking for me considering I've been gone for longer than I usually am. We walked aimlessly around the city for around 15 minutes before we found a crowd of people surrounding something. Simon hung back while I pushed my way through the crowd. When I got to the front I saw Jason holding up a soldier agaist a wall with his hand pointed at his face, the rest of the soldiers that were probibably on the other guys team were uncounsious on the floor. Leo stood off to the side with his shell extended, just watching.
"Where is she?" He yelled and the soldier shook his head in fear.
"I-I don't know w-what your t-talking about," He begged, "P-please let m-me go!"
"Selena Halliwell! Where is she?" Jason asked again. I watched a little longer and I swear the soldier peed his pants. I walked over to Leo and we both stood side by side with our arms crossed until he noticed me.
"Hey you better do something before he kills that guy," Leo warned and I smirked.
"Fine," I mumbled and walked over to Jason, "Ya'know I don't know if I should be happy that you would go to so much trouble to rescue me or insulted that you would even think that I could get captured." Jason let the guy fall to the ground and literally picked me up and hugged me.
"I thought they got you," He said into my shoulder.
"Yeah well they didn't; so you can let me down now," I replied awkwardly. While Jason put me down on the ground the soldier scrambled to his feet and pointed his gun at us.
"Put your hands up!" He yelled, when the hell did he get so confident. I turned to the guy and narrowed my eyes.
"I'll give you one chance to walk away alive because unlike my friend here I don't leave people alive," I threatened. The guy seemed to come to some sort of rational sense and ran away. I nodded my head towards Leo and he walked in our direction.
"What'd you want?" He asked.
"I found another mutant when I went running, he's over there," I explained and pointed toward the back of the crowd.
"Why didn't you bring him back?" Jason asked.
"I didn't know the way," I answered and Leo stifled a laugh. Ignoring him and walked toward Simon, I was pleased when the crowd parted for us.
"So what's the mutants power," Leo asked
"Uh…."
"You don't know do you," Jason supplied and I stayed silent, giving them their answer.
"So I'm new in the group so let me get something straight. We are inviting a mutant to join but we know nothing about them?" Leo clarified.
"His name is Simon and he's willing to fight, other than that I don't really care about anything else," I stated. We got Simon and both Leo and Jason looked him up and down; Simon did the same. I stood there and rolled my eyes while they sized each other up. Yup this would be fun.
Okay I know it's a shitty ending, so what. Anyway I hope you all liked it! Review!
BTW the OC Simon belongs to avearia.
