Chapter Four
Sorry it's taken me so long to update! But here you go!
"What's Xavier's Institute?" Cody asked. "Is it like a mental institution?"
"No. this is a special place for mutants like you. In fact, I think I will introduce you to a few other mutants so I only have to explain this once. So come on." the Professor said. Cody nodded and followed.
When they entered the room, a girl suddenly appeared in front of Cody.
"Hi!" she said excitedly.
SAPPHIRE'S POV
"Hi!" I said as I ran over.
"Woah...um...hi?" the girl said nervously.
"My name's Sapphire! But you can call me Sapph! And this is Valerie!" I said happily.
"Um. Hi. My name is Cody." she told me. I smiled.
"Well hi Cody! Oh hey Baldy! I didn't see you there! When's dinner round here?" I asked.
"Soon Sapphire. Soon. But first, I need to talk to you three." he said. We nodded and sat down.
"Anyways, I would like to formally welcome you to the Xavier Institute. We are here to help mutants understand and control their powers." he said. I nodded as I listened.
"So everyone here is a mutant?" Cody asked. Baldy nodded.
"So you're going to help us control our powers?" I asked.
"Yes." he said. I nodded.
"So...can you help me with this?" I asked as I suddenly vibrated through the couch.
"I think so." he said. I smiled as I struggled to stop vibrating.
"Food's ready!" Beast called.
"Awesome!" I said as I sped in. I devoured everything.
"Aw...come on man!" Night Crawler complained.
"Sorry! Give me a few seconds!" I said as I sped out, grabbing different foods from around the world and brought them back. I smiled as everyone came in and began eating.
NORMAL POV
The next week, the three girls began training.
"First, you can design your costumes!" Storm said. The girls smiled and got to work.
Sapphire showed them her design. It had the top stop two inches below her chest, and had a silver lightning bolt in a white circle. She had elbow length gloves. She had shorts that went halfway down the top part of her legs, and knee high boots. Her whole outfit was midnight blue and silver.
Valerie's looked almost exactly like Wolverine's, the exception being she had no top mask.
Cody's outfit looked like a white body suit, with low heels on her boots. She had wrist length black gloves, and a black X on her chest.
"Right, now to pick your names." Beast said.
"Speedy." Sapphire said immediately.
"We're not sure yet." Cody and Valerie said.
The girls then began their training.
As the weeks grew longer, Sapphire grew more and more frustrated.
Sapphire punched the wall.
"Why isn't this working?" she yelled.
"Calm down." Beast said.
"Calm down? How is that going to help? I've tried everything! I still can't control my powers! You said you would help me!" she screamed.
"Sapph...Hon...calm down..." Valerie said.
"No! Why? You and Cody are gaining control over your powers! Why not me? You don't understand my powers! No one does!" she screamed again. She began running in circles, creating a tornado.
"Sapphire! Please! Calm down! We can help you! It just takes time!" Beast said.
"Time? TIME? No! I'm done with you! I'm done with the X-Men!" Sapphire shrieked. She ran into the computer room, searching for a mutant who could help her control her powers.
"Quick Silver..." she murmured as she scanned the information into her mind and ran out of the institution.
"Sapphire!" Valerie screamed as she saw the blur of color known as her best friend disappear.
"She's...gone..." Cody said.
"Professor X! It's Sapphire! She ran out!"
"Check the computer room!" he said as they headed down.
"Oh no..." Beast said as he looked at the screen.
"What?" Cody asked.
"She searched the database, looking for anyone, anyone, who shared her power. She found someone." he said.
"Quick Silver..." Professor X murmured.
"Why can't I control this?" Sapphire screamed as she ran in circles.
"Because you have no knowledge of your power."
"Who said that?" she asked as she spun around, searching.
"I did." the voice said again as a man appeared.
"You must be Quick Silver." Sapphire said.
"And you are?"
"Speedy." she answered bluntly.
"Well Speedy, what do you want?"
"I came looking for you actually. I want to know how to control my powers. The X-Men tried to help me, but they couldn't. Can you help me?" she asked.
Quick Silver looked down at the blonde girl. He smiled and nodded.
"I see myself in you, young one. I will help you." he said. Speedy nodded and smiled.
Quick Silver is probably OOC, but I don't care. Please review! Oh! And also, pretend that Sapphire explaining her powers in chapter one didn't happen!
Too lazy to edit.
Review! And it's Selena's turn to update!
