"Before we can start teaching you how to use your powers, we have to figure out what exactly they are." Said Professor Xavier. I was following him, Logan and Storm to a room called the 'Danger Room.' I already don't like where this is going. HELP! "Now tell me, MiKayla, describe what you powers are or what you think they are."
I thought. I thought really hard. "It's hard to explain. I mean, when I focus on somebody and I want them to do something, they just… do what I tell them to do. My powers occur the most when I'm angry. I don't know, it's really hard to describe."
"Don't work yourself too hard, kid. The real work will begin momentarily." Said Logan, not even looking at me. What is with this guy?
We entered a room that had glass windows. Outside the glass windows was a clear space.
"Welcome to the danger room. It takes after its name, so I would be careful if I were you." Warned Storm.
I gulped. What kind of place is this? A torture chamber? LET ME OUTTA HERE!
"Haha, don't worry, MiKayla, you won't be hurt in the process of this training session." Said Professor Xavier, chuckling a little bit.
I was set up in the danger room below. Professor said I didn't have to test my powers out on a human but, I am a daredevil… in my own little way.
"Alright, I'll call one of the X-Men." He said before he went deep in thought. I stood there for a moment. A few minutes later, Jean came in some suit. Don't tell her I said this but she looks like a hooker in it. Shhh!
"Jean, will you be a… sort of a… test subject for MiKayla?" asked the Professor. I waved, smiling innocently.
"Of course. Anything for another X-Man." She said, smiling back at me.
X-man? What the eff? Is that some sort of alliance they created or something?
"Ok, MiKayla, now concentrate on getting Jean under your control. Think of something for her to do." Said Professor.
"I told you already, my powers only can occur when I'm angry." I explained to him.
"Just try." He said, sounding like he had faith in me. So I tried. I concentrated on Jean… getting down on her knees and calling me her master. Haha, that should be funny to watch. I know I don't know her all that well, but it would be nice to have someone cheer me up after this rough and very busy day.
It was silent. I didn't hear anything. Not the thud of Jean's knees, not the words "Oh master!" Nothing. I opened my eyes and everyone was staring at me. Well, only Jean and Professor were. Storm and Logan were up in the looking-room thingy.
"Nothing is happening…" I said finally.
"Hmm…" said the Professor.
"What?" I asked. "Is there something else you want me to do?"
"No, no. That's enough for today. Why don't you get some rest?" He said as he drove away in his little wheelchair. I looked at Jean and she shrugged.
Whatever. This was absolutely a big waste of time.
The next day was going to be the same as anything. I get up, eat breakfast, go to school, come home and do my homework. Same-old, same-old.
I got up and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Occupado!" said Kurt on the other side.
"Hurry up! I'm not a morning person and I take forever in the bathroom. So I warn anyone who goes after me to take a nice long nap!" I said, to him.
"Calm down, I'm finished now." He said, coming out. Only, it was the Kurt I met yesterday. Same face, same voice, and same hair… it's just that…
"WHY THE HECK ARE YOU BLUE?!" I yelled at him.
"Huh? Oh, you mean this? This is the real me. The 'me' you met yesterday was my image inducer 'me'. This is just part of my powers." Suddenly, he disappeared. I felt a tap my shoulder. I turned around and saw blue Kurt again. "I can also teleport. Cool, huh?"
"Yeah, sure. It's a great advantage when you want to get away from people." I said, going into the bathroom. I locked the door behind me. Psh, like he would think of coming in here.
That little creep! Why didn't he tell me? I hate it when people keep something from me. Especially when it involves their appearance. I hate him for not telling me.
I went downstairs and grabbed something to eat and left. Scott came in.
"Hey, MiKayla, you want a ride?" he asks. I nodded, taking a bite into my muffin. Then Kurt teleported in the kitchen.
"So do I!" he interjected. I rolled my eyes and walked to the garage. Second day here and I already hate someone.
On the ride to school, I completely ignored everyone. Especially Kurt. Avoid him at all costs.
"Hey, MiKayla, why are you so quiet?" he asked, putting on arm around me. He was sitting right next to me. I shrugged his arm off.
"No reason. Just don't feel like talking." I answered, uninterested.
"Oh… okay." He said, a little taken aback.
I went to my first period class. Unfortunately, Kurt walked in. I never knew he was in my class. Maybe I never noticed him.
"Whoa! Fancy meeting you in here!" he said, standing in front of my desk.
"Yeah, what a coincident." I said, same tone as when he asked me earlier.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, really concerned. "You've been acting really weird since we talked this morning."
"Well, I really want to talk about it after class. Not here, okay?" I asked getting a little annoyed.
That's when he backed off a little bit.
After class, I wasn't really looking forward to actually talking to him. I went to my locker. He just happened to follow.
"So, any reason why you're acting so… weird?" he asked.
I sighed. "I… really hate it when people keep secrets, like the one you told me this morning. You know that you could have told me when we first met." I explained. "What? Do you not trust me of your powers?"
"Of course I trust you. You're a mutant, like me." He said, putting one arm against the wall behind me, making me put my back against it. "You know? I could use some time alone with you. You know, to get to know you better." He said, a bit shyly.
"Sure. Where do you want to go?" I asked, smiling and blushing.
"Don't worry, I can teleport us there. Just be ready by 4:00 okay?"
I nod in agreement.
