So, a small note I will only update now once I get reviews, I really want to hear from you guys/girls, so please help me keep this story going, reviews keep me motivated to write.


Ch. 4: Amplify?


"Focus, Noah." Charles had her meditating, another of his techniques to try and draw out the silver lights, thinking perhaps it would be brought out in a state of peace.

"What am I focusing on, Charles?" she had her eyes closed but nothing had happened in the last 45 minutes.

"Noah, you need to clear your mind, that's the only way this is going to work." The blond sighed and opened her eyes, giving up momentarily.

"I've been trying, really. There's just too many distractions." Charles crouched in front of her. "Distractions?" Noah gave a curt nod, "For starters, I know you're watching me." He looked at her and smiled,

"I see, so I'm your distraction?" Noah gave a nod, "It's like when someone watches you while a sleep, while your body may be unaware, your mind knows psychologically that there may be an imminent threat."

"You're very knowledgeable. Alright, I won't watch you if you don't want me to."

"Thank you." Charles turned his back and walked a few feet away, sitting down. Noah closed her eyes again and tried to clear her mind in an attempt to do as Charles had asked.

"Excellent!" her eyes shot open after roughly twenty minutes, the same silver orbs from yesterday were surrounding her, Noah flashed a wide smile.

"What do you want me to do with these?" she was curious as she touched one of the lights, it felt war to the touch.

"Well, if my speculation is correct, since the gold ones destroy, the silver should heal." He took her hand in his, palm up in the air.

"What are you—Ouch! Charles?!" Charles had made a small incision in her skin, she stared at him warily, holding her now lacerated palm close to her chest.

"Sorry, love. If my speculation is incorrect I'll have hank stitch you up." She watched him warily still, but held her hand out again.

"Now, bring one of the silver orbs into the lacerated palm." She still didn't fully trust his idea but she complied, grabbing a few of the little balls of light she placed them to the area he'd made the incision.

"So, what now?" Charles chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Patience, love." She felt a warm tingling sensation on her skin, looking own she saw the wound closing.

"See? My assumption was correct" Noah flipped her hand over a few times in disbelief, "Cool."

"You have multiple mutations in one, Noah. That is, as you say, cool." He smiled, reaching his hand out to touch her face, she leaned into his touch.

"Your hands are warm." Charles chuckled, "Are you feeling alright?" he asked, jokingly feeling her forehead for a temperature, she swatted at his hand making him laugh.

"Come on, I think Lunch should be ready."


"So, how is your training going, Noah?" Sean inquired, the smaller blond grinned, "Come outside after lunch, I'll show you."

"Now now, don't go destroying my yard." Charles gave the two a look, Noah grinned. "Hey now, whatever I destroy I can regrow." Sean and Alex looked interested.

"Really?" Noah gave a nod, putting some more food on her plate.

"Noah, we haven't exactly worked on that part of your skills yet." Her blue green eyes stared down the table at Charles.

"I don't think it needs much polishing, see?" she held out her hand and watched as a small flower sprouted in her palm.

"Regardless, I'd still like to cover all the bases during the time we have left."

"You can grow flowers?" Raven said, looking at the artificially created plant.

"Of course." She formed a white lotus flower in her palm now after setting the previous one on the table next to her plate.

"If I can think of it, I can grow it." Charles was intrigued.

"Since you're so keen on showing us your skills at the table, can you create a Violet columbine flower" Noah seemed perplexed now, she had never seen a Columbine flower.

"I've…never seen one. But I'll try." Charles and the others watched her now a small bud formed but would not open.

"That's strange, this isn't violet."

"It's gold…"

"Interesting, Noah, would you mind if I took that one to the lab?" Hank looked at the new flower with extreme interest.

"Only if you tell me what you find." He gave a curt nod as she handed the flower over before going back to eating.


It had gotten late so Noah had decided to retire to her room.

"Hey." Noah set her book down and looked at who was in her doorway, "Erik, to what do I owe the pleasure?" the older man shrugged, "I don't think we've actually been properly acquainted." She laughed.

"What is it with you and Charles? Always so formal." Erik gave a half smile, taking the chair from her desk and sitting down.

"So, you control plants, but what else do you do?" She eyed him curiously, "do you really want to know? I could show you." He watched expectantly.

Noah closed her eyes trying to find that spot between anger and serenity, like Charles had been teaching all of them, when she opened her eyes they were no longer blue-green but gold, she focused more on forming one of the little gold orbs.

"This one explodes—" she closed her eyes again before opening with her eyes now glowing silver, the gold orb vanished and a silver one started to form. "And this one heals."

"Interesting." Noah's eyes returned to normal and she picked up her pillow, hugging it to her chest.

"I don't get what's so interesting about it. I'm not much different from the rest of you."

"That's not true, we're all individuals, very powerful individuals, at that." She watched him warily now as he headed for the door.

"Don't ever forget you're special, Noah." With that he left and Hank walked in.

"Hank? Wow, that's two visitors in one night, what's the news?"

"Well, actually it's a surprise. I've been working on something for raven and myself but I made an extra batch." She eyed him as he set the briefcase down.

"I isolated the marker in Raven's DNA that controls her changes. With this serum we can hide our marks and appear normal to other humans." He opened the case and revealed three syringes of the green liquid.

"Hank I—"

"You don't have to take it, I won't force it. It's just in case you decide you want to, is all." She looked down at the syringe he offered and took it, placing it in the bedside table.

"it'll still leave all your power intact; it'll just hide the marks." She nodded.

"Thanks. Any news on that flower?"

"Actually yes. So what occurred with our mutation was a solidification of sunlight mixing with your ability to create artificial nature, it resulted in that flower." Noah didn't follow his explanation.

"What you done is concentrated sunlight into a solid form, that's why the flower was gold."

"I turned light…into a solid object?" Hank nodded.

"It's really quite impressive actually."

"Why is everyone saying that?!" Hank retracted a bit at her outburst.

"Impressive this, Astonishing that, I'm not!"

"Noah, calm down, I said it's impressive because it's never been done before." She stared at him with two different colored eyes.

"Noah?"

"Can…Can you go? I need to think…" He nodded grabbing the case containing the remaining two syringes.

"Of course. Just think about that, okay?" he nodded to the syringe before leaving to go fid Raven.


Noah had stayed up half the night, her mind was running a million miles an hour with the new information.

"You're still Up, Love?" She jumped, startled, looking towards her doorway to see Charles.

"did my thoughts disturb you?"

"They were rather loud. What's bothering you?"

"Hank made this…" she showed him the syringe, Charles took it and looked at the liquid inside.

"what is it supposed to do, exactly?"

"help us hide, fit in with society. Those of us with obvious markers, anyways." He sat down on the bed, placing a hand on her knee.

"Why would you want to hide? You're beautiful." She felt her face heat up, as it always did when he spoke to her like this.

"I don't know, honestly I've never felt this self-conscious before now. I've never cared that I was a mutant."

"and you still shouldn't, Noah. Your gift is absolutely amazing, and I'm guessing, the only one of its kind." He looked down at the syringe again.

"I won't condone use of this, especially since I already know it hasn't been tested. Noah, promise me, you won't use this." She looked at him, noting the serious expression.

"I promise." She looked conflicted, Charles shifted, moving further up onto the bed and facing her.

"Alright, out with it, or would you rather I read your mind?"

"You promised all of us, you wouldn't."

"Then talk to me, Noah." She crossed her legs, now sitting Indian style.

"there's so much, the training, this supposed war Shaw is about to wage, this stupid serum, me feelings, it's all a big cluster fuck and I can't sort it out." He chuckled.

"well, which part of this…'cluster fuck' has you the most confused?" she stared at him for a moment.

"You."

"Me?" Noah gave a curt nod.

"Yes. You know I like you and that's made conversation rather difficult when we're not in practice."

"So that's what it is?" He chuckled before getting serious again.

"That's not the only thing…I'm not ready for this fight, Charles." Charles moved again, he was now lying next to her.

"What can I do to reassure you?" she stared at him warily once again. "I'm not sure there is anything you can—what are you doing?" he had placed two of his fingers to her temple and the other two to his.

"I'm going to try and calm your mind. Close your eyes." Sighing, she complied, feeling him sift through her thoughts.

"Now, love, try and get some sleep." She stared at him with wide eyes, what had he just done? Her body felt extremely heavy.

"What did you…do?" he smiled down at her, "I've helped you relax, that's all." She stared up into his deep blue eyes as he leaned over her.

"Dammit, Charles…" before she blacked out she felt something press against her lips.

"Shh. Sleep, love. I'll be here when you wake up." With that Noah was out.


So, apologies that this took so long and that it is so short, however I had to cut some so I could make the confrontation into a chapter all its own. Fear not readers, the battle will not be the final chapter of 'My Little Nymph' and I will be planning a sequel to follow DoFP and Apocalypse, so we'll get to meet characters like Night crawler, Quicksilver, Jean grey, Logan/Wolverine, ETC.. Please keep reading and leave some reviews so I can keep updating, otherwise I lose motivation.

Til next time :3
